QUIET CONDITIONS
In GALLOWAY co.
And MURRAY TODAY

Muprray, Ky, April 10. 2 p. NJ
Officers who are reported to have
gone out TO round up more men
charged with night riding. have not
at this hour reported with arrests. The
town Is as 1t has been since the ar
rival of the soldiers here, absolutely
quiet and there is not semblance OF
truth in the report sent out to Gin
clnnati and Louisville papers from
Paducah that 5000 men or any part
of that number were on the stree;
last night threatening to force the re-
lease of prisoners.
The streets of Murray were al
most deserted at s o'clock last night
and. not half dozen farmers were In
the city after dark.
A large crowd, is expected tomor-
row when the trials of the cases are
called, but they will come through
curiosity to see the men Imprisoned
and hear evidence against them.
The officers do not expect any at
tempt to be made to release them by
force, but as the Galloway Jail is Of
antiquated design, small Gordon OF
soldiers guard it.
A report is current that 25 or 80
men suspected of night riding have
left the country, one man is known
to have sold his stock and other prop
erty at sacrifice and left.

of whisky were stolen from the bar
and some notions from the store. Mr..
jenkins believes that the men enter
ing his place were familiar with the
place, as there were evidences that a
scratch had been made for shot
sack of money that was usually hid in
the place at night. The drawer where
It was usually kept was pulled out and
the papers were scattered over thu
floor. Even a box of axle grease in
the drawer was opened. This place
was entered through the back win
dow, a light being cut. out and the
bolt fastening the window, which
swung on hinges, pushed back and the
window opened. That the burglar.
were frightened away before they fin
ished their job is evident by the fact
that a money drawer under the bar,
in which there was some money ex-
posed to view, was pulled open but
the money was not taken.

shiloh. Tenn, April pa plea
for state self-government and a pro
test against the Roosevelt idea OF cen
was the keynote today of
the first public address delivered by
Gov. John A. Johnson, of Minnesota,
since he came into the public eye as
a candidate for the Democratic nom
lnation for president
THE occasion was the dedication
OF the monument at Shiloh erected
by the state of Minnesota In homo:
OF the soldiers OF the state who fell
In battle there.
Tribute to the soldier dead was
paid In graceful terms. and then,
turning to what was developed as
the text of address. Gov. Johnson
said:
In this hour. when there seems
10 be a disposition to depart from
established forms, when there seems
ID be a desire upon the part OF those
In authority TO abide in a central
bureaucracy rather than in a rep
resentative Democracy-it becomes
you and me to protest against any
departure whatsoever from the gov
eminent which came to us from the
constitutional convention of 17S1.
and those amendments which have
been made TO II by the specific will
of the people
while the primary object of a
written constitution is to define
governmental powers, and to limit
governmental departments, the
Overwhelming necessity for such an
Instrument Is to prevent insidious
upon the rights of
the Individual citizen. both from
those IN office and from those who
by reason of their wealth and power
have no influence far greater than
that possessed by the average citizen.
aud SO the constitution OF the
United States was regarded by its
trainers as an instrument of the
most sacred Import. an alteration

True Democracy Outlined in His
Speech at Shiloh Park by Governor
J. A. Johnson, of Mimi. Today

people themselves, in whom all ulti-
mate power is vested, and then only
after the fullest discussion and
widest publicity.
"Under our system of government
the nation has reached a material
development hitherto unknown. But
with the development of the coun-
try and changes in the economic con-
ditions, and particularly with the
growth of great private corpora
tlons, performing many of the func-
tons of government, has come the
necessity for the exercise of strict
governmental control, and a rigid
enforcement of all the laws enacted
to restrain the rich and powerful
from encroaching upon the natural
and legal rights of the poor and
weak.
"Our government is divided into
three separate and distinct co-ordi-
nate branches: the legislative, the
executive and the judicial. Danger
viii surely come to this republic
when any of these departments Of
government attempt In the slightest
az gree to usurp the functions of the
other.
Every recently there has come
from the highest judicial tribunal
Ia the land decision of vital in
terest and concern to the American
Leop!e, because II has established a
principle. as stated by one member
of the court, which would work a
radical change in our governmental
system and would inaugurate a new
tenn and in the relations of the
national and state governments. IL
would enable the subordinate federal
courts TO supervise and control
the official action OF the states as
though thev were dependencies or
provinces. II would place the states
of the union in a condition OF in
fcriority never dreamed of when the
constitution was adopted or when
The eleventh amendment was made
a part of the supreme law of the
land
III this is the result OF this de-
cifion. It is, TO my mind, one of the
unhappy incidents In the history of
our republic. because the very
theory of our government is based
upon the right of the states to con
troll absolutely their own domestic
affairs.
"What this government needs Is
not more power. What II needs to-
day is to so distribute the privileges
under the government that all citl-.
zens will have equal opportunity.
America has been called the land OF
opportunity. But American oppor'
tunity should not mean a granting
OF special privileges to any class
but should afford all alike the
means OF culture. education. pros
pfrity and contentment."
