after moments hesitation fell IN
and answered everything readily, as
surfing him. however, that II would be
difficult for any living thing to get
past the soldiers who kept watch and

Elated by the apparent ease with
which he had secured provisions, ne
again retreated toward the edge OF the
city, mentally formulating plans for
stealing a boat when night came. and
by this means TO make his way to Van.

soil. Had he looked back he would
have seen that the boy, broom In
hand, watched him with an assump'
ton of mere idle interest for a mo-
ment only, then hurriedly threw OF
his apron, banged the door shut and
ran as fast as his legs would carry
him to a big building farther down
the street. II was where the officials
OF the port held forth. The alarm
had been given!
Seigo rested in a thicket at the
edge of a forest and partook of q
leisurely breakfast. laughing mean
while at the dullness of the Ameri-
cans and the boy in particular. He
regretted the loss of his handkerchief.
which he feared must have been
dropped In the grocery store. but
smiled at the thought of being within
so few miles of refuge where others
might be bought ana where he could
find ease and comfort.
From back OF him a deep believing
sound came family through the trees,

noise could be. lie rose TO his feet.

before had he ever known that same
visitor In a southern village he had
seen a pack OF hounds followed by
excited men pass him in quest OF a
negro criminal. His memory harked
back to that time, and his hair raised
itself In terror. He threw away his
food and dashed madly into the woods,
seeking TO escape that menacing I'M

him could have but one quarry. He
knew in an instant that the boy had

THE NIGHT RIDERS PORTION.

The pardoning of Mrs. Mary Hollo
well, who is indicted in Caldwell coun
lty for the alleged scraping of tn,
plant bed of her brother-in-lay, Johi
IL. Hollowell, should indicate to tn,
night riders, what they may expect
the worst of it.
Compared with the verdict of s35,.
900 in Robert Hollowells case and
the SIS 900 suits pending in the fed
6ral court, $4,000 is small, but a
few more such verdicts will make the
assessments of the night rider organ
ization oppressiyely high and numer-
Gus.
The assassination of Vaughan Ben
nett, the mysterious murder of New
ton Hazelette in shelby county, and
the death of the boy returning from
the Hopknsville raid, should carry a
lesson 10 the heart of every member
of the band. 4 night rider is fair
game for any gun, and the man who
kills one on raid is no more subject
20 punishment than if he had killed a
vicious dog. Lots of eyewitnesses to
the murder of Vaughan Bennett are
known. but none of them dares appear
in court; because he wore a mask and
scarf. Just as many could be sum
moned to tell about the Hazelette
killing. but they will not answer to
their names.
Think of the funeral of that Trigg
county youth. Masked men deposited
his body at his fathers door and never
told how he died. People are learn
ing how to deal with night riders and
it is growing more and more danger
Gus to attempt outrages against the
persons and property of citizens Of
Kentucky. Only one now and then IS
killed, it is true; but who knows who
the next one will be? II may be the
son or husband or brother or father
of some night rider sympathizing wo-
man. Think of him lying dead beside
the road, deserted by his lawless COM
panioas. who, knowing his assassin,
dare not prosecute him; and the
death must so unavenged unless the
code of the mountain feud!st is
adopted. Then, indeed. will night
rider blood baptize Kentucky's soil.
Why man, who owns property,
title to which and the right to quietly
enjoy which, are guaranteed by the
law, should defy the civil authority
for the protection of which he pays
taxes, and bind himself by oath to
oppose the law, is beyond the COM
prehension of a reasoning being.
If the law prevails. he will be
brought to justice; if 1t does not his
property rights are in jeopardy. Even
the night rider lawyers, who make in
cendiary speeches melting planters to
disorder, cannot refute this logic.

POLITICS. POLITICS. POLITICS.

Newspapers and partisan so often
approach a subject in an unpatriot.c
fashion. Political advantage in the
hope of winning. without regard to
the comparative benefits to the coun-
try of this policy or that policy are
all in all TO such small fry. For in
stance. a contemporary solemnly re-
marks:
"The last two days of congress are

most casual observer that very few
of those things for which the presi-
dent has contended have become

for maintaining the waterways COM

looking to the conservation of our
Natural resources. Nothing has been
done to carry out the Roosevelt sug-
gestion that the government retain
the ownership of the mineral re-
sources of the public lands. The
Roosevelt contention for a graduated
income tax and the other proposition
cmanating from the white house de-
signed to check the concentration of
wealth into few hands have made
no impression upon congress.
Even the anti-injunction bill has
been put to sleep and II is by nc

I,gelization. DR.. Little briefly urged
new zeal for the salvation of souls.
DR.. A. A. McGeachy spoke of the
danger to the minister of thinking
his mission to be to preach sermons
rather than to save souls. He said
the impression had gone forth that
this assembly was paying more atten-
ton to trivial things than to the vital
thing of soul salvation. and he feared
the impression had some foundation.
DR.. w. NJ. Anderson spoke of the
Importance. JOY and value of syste-
matte habits in watching for souls.

"a sense of shame that the proceed
ings of several assemblies had been
taken up with constitutional ques-

harmony to make a certainty"
Now we should like to know: Does
prove that the Democrats of the
nation are now facing an opportunity
our contemporary believe in maintain
| ing the waterways, In the COnserva-
ton of natural resources, government
control of mineral resources and pub
lie lands, the graduated income tax, a
check on the concentration of wealth
by predatory means, the modification
of the injunction in labor troubles,
the amendment of the antitrust law
to make it effective and equitable,
currency legislation, better navy,
employers liability reform. child la
bor restrictions and the publicity of
campaign contributions?
Those are admitted by our contem-
porary to be Roosevelt policies; it has
repeatedly accused Taft of being
Roosevelt man and heir apparent to
his policies. If our contemporary be-
lieves in these things, then it must in
dorse Roosevelt's administrative eff
forts. and approve man acceptable
to President Roosevelt as best fitted
to carry out those policies.

A WARNING.

We have had our warning. That
blaze in the Standard Oil property
confined as it was this time. may save
the city thousands and thousands OF
dollars, if the warning Is needed. Per.
haps. no other community would have
suffered the presence of such a men
ace in the heart of the city as long as
Paducah has. The location of the
tanks along the railroad, in constant
danger of ignition from engine sparks
adds to the menace. The whole cit!
should not be subjected to DANCE
merely for the convenience of thu
Standard Oil company. Those tank
should be removed outside the cit!

GENERAL STEPHEN ID. LEE.

Another great Civil war figure has
passed away by the death of Genera,
Stephen ID. Lee, last of the brilliant
array of Confederate Lieutenant gen.
erals. Like most of the other leaders
of the Lost Cause, General Lee was
educated at West Point for the United
States service, but when the breach
came, he cast his lot with his native
state. Since the war he had been
continuously in the public service and
was conspicuously honored by Missis'
sippi. Only memory soon will hold
dear the heroism of that day, and tn,
courage displayed by men on botf
sides in that terrible war should b'
an inspiration to the whole nation
rather than a source of bitterness.

SOUTHERN CHURCHS WORK

Kansas City, May 29.-Church
government. temperance and mar
rlage and divorce were the important
subjects before the general assembly
OF the Presbyterian church.
BY far the most important action
OF the session was the adoption OF the
resolution which makes it impossible
for any paid agent or member OF the
church boards or permanent officer
, OF the general assembly except the
moderator. to serve on executive com
, mittees ruling the body OF the ad-
ministrative affairs OF the church.
The creation OF an executive commits
sion Is the direct result OF the ever
recurring cry that certain men In the
lchurch were acquiring too much
power. The action means that all
church boards will report to the ex-
ecutlve commission of fifteen mem
bers, when II has been selected, and
that the government of the church
will devolve on men who have not
heretofore served in executive capa
city.
The church reaiirmed It's position
that divorce should be granted only
upon biblical grounds. The assembly
approved the efforts of the interna-
tional conference on influencing pub
lie opinion to overcome the evils that
threaten the sanctity of the marriage
relation, the integrity of the family
and the welfare of the state.
The assembly voted an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to continue the work
! OF the temperance committee and
added resolution declaring that no
revenues derived from the liquor
business should be used for popular
government calling on congress to
4 "protect" the states that have abol-
ished the traffic.
The Pittsburg Conference.
Pittsburg, May 29.-Owing to not
being provided with travelling ex-
penses and in the absence of instruc-
ton as to It's duty the committee APP
pointed to bring about closer rela-
tons with the Presbyterian church
reported TO the United Presbyterian
general assembly that nothing tagl-
bic had been accomplished.
One of the features of the second
days session OF the conference was
a prayer made by the Rev. Or. G. T.
IMcCaughan. of Iowa, the Oldest liv-
ing United Presbyterian minister.
Evangelistic Preaching.
Greensboro. n. c., May 29.-At
the southern Presbyterian assembly
the following resolution was present
ed by DIR. A. A. Little:
Whereas, we believe that the
great need of our church is more
evangelistic preaching on the part OF
our pastors and a more dillgent effort
on the part of the church to reach
the unchurch and unsaved, this gen
,eral assembly would urge on all our
ministers to seek more and get more
of this spirit of prayer for the saliva
ltion of souls aud TO use more evan.

it, TO bring souls into the kingdom Of
