Two NameSakeS.

Having namesakes is a very
good proof of a public mans pop
ularity, and the press reports
that two new babies, one at
PIaquemine, the other at Con
zales have been named for Bob
Wickliffe. At Plaquemine it is
Bob RiYet's baby. Mr.. Rivet's
simple, matter-of-fact way of in
PRODUCING Mr.. Wickliffe at both
his Plaquemine meetings capti-
waited the audience. The first
time he said merely: Ladies and
gentlemen, this is Bob Wick
life, " and at the second he said,
Ladies and gentlemen, here is
Bob Wickliffe again.. The
thought was subtly conveyed in
these words, you know who he
is and again, 'he is here again
-conquering not conquered"
Mr.. Rivet is a fellow soldier of
Mr.. Wickliffe's, and consequent
ly one of his best friends and adj
mirerS.
The Gonzales baby is the son
of Mr.. Elzein and the entire
family on both sides is strongly
for Wickliffe.

The Night Riding Evil.

riding have been reported within
the past few days in widely sep
arated sections of the cotton
belt. Several Arkansas farmers
have. been warned by masked
towards to hold their cotton for
the price fixed by the Farmers
Union and not to plant too much
cotton next year. Three farm
ers in Jones County, Miss, re-
ceived notices during the week to
haul no more cotton to the gins,
coupled with threats of punish
ment if the warnings are disre-
garded. Less definite reports
of similar occurrences in other
Mississippi counties have been
current for several days, while
last nights dispatches brought
reports of threatened night rid
ing activity in Georgia. Officers
of the Farmers Union in Missis-
sippi have promptly declared
that the organization had moth
ing to do with these outrages.
| 1t appears to be the general be-
| lief in that State that the threats
have been issued by irresponsi-
bles, and that the local authori-
ties will have no trouble in main
tanning order.
The responsibility for Ken
tucky's reign of terror lies par
TALLY at the door of the socalled
good citizens" who, while scorn-
ing to take an active part in these
cowardly atrocities, in the begin
ming found excuse for them in
the argument that the night rid
ers were endeavoring to aid the
down trodden tobacco planters
to secure better prices for their
crop. The end, it was supposed,
would justify the means employ
ed. But the result has shown
| the grievOus error of the calcula-
ton. The mob speedily got be-
y0nd control and the tyranny of
coWardly assassins has proven
far more irkSome and terrible
than the tyranny of the tobacco
trust, which could much more
surely have been defeated by
-, lawful and orderly methods of
retaliation.
Happily the great majority of
Mississippians are guided by
wiser and saner counsels. Such
an outbreak as has disgraced
Kentucky is out of the question
in Mississippi. But the lesson
:, should teach citizens of the bet.
ter class, wherever night riding
outrages are attempted, the vital
importance of their speedy sup
preston. The local authorities
should take prompt and energetic
measures wherever these at
temptS at intimidation are made,
and if necessary the State gov
eminent should lend it's assist
ance to that end. A few stern
examples will be of incalculable
value. The prompt disclaimer
of the Farmers Union will have a
wholesome effect. With the de,
sire Of the cotton planter to Sc
cure good prices for his crop the
Southern people are heartily in
sympathy, but the effort to force
prices up by intimidation, as
} sassination, arson and the other
revolving crimes that have some
times been practiced by the
might riders must be condemned

THOUSANDS TAKE PART IN
FEAST OF PORTIUNCULA
Members of the franciscan Order Gel
citrate with Great Pomp InduI-
gence Festival at the
Old Mission
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 2.-The
feast 'Portiuncula" was celebrated with
much ecclesiastical pomp today at the
Old Mission in this city,, being con-
Quoted by the order of Franciscan
monks, participated in by thousands
of the Catholic people of this city and
witnessed by hundreds of Protestants,
residents and visitors. Masses were
said at 5, 6, and o'clock and high
mass at $3.50 a. m. Confessions were
heard all day yesterday and all this
morning. The faithful who received
the sacraments of penance and holy
eucharist on these two days can gain
a plenary indulgence as often as they
visited the mission during the festival.
A representative of the Franciscan
order in this city has given out the
following history and particulars of the
feast of Portiuncula:
The festival is entirely different from
other Catholic observations, 1t being
celebrated solely on account of the in
dulgence. Portiuncula is neither a
saint nor a mystery, but the name of
a church near Assist, in Italy, which,
although very small, has become ia
nous throughout the world by means
of the memorable and singular indul-
gence which st. Francis gained for
this little chapel.
To secure this great grace 1T is nee
essary to make a contrite confession
and receive holy communion worthily
either on the day of Portiuncula or the
day previous. This latter may be done
in any church. The third condition is
to- visit devoutly some privileged
church within the time appointed for
the gaining Of this Indulgence. Finally
it is necessary to say a short prayer
for the intention of the holy father,
by which is meant the welfare of
Christendom, the extirpation of here
tics and union among Christian
princes.
In many cities where Franciscan
churches are located these sacred edi-
fees are crowded from the minute the
devotions begin until the very last
moment at which the indulgence may
be gained. This is true especially in
Santa Barbara, New York, San Fran
cisco, Chicago, st. Louis and other
large cities. where thousands upon
of pious Catholics from all
parts OF these cities visit these privi-
legged churches to secure this grace.
The gaining of the indulgence is not
confined to the members of a Fran
ciscan parish, but every Catholic 50
desiring may, If so inclined, carry out
the requirements necessary and gain
the indulgence.

UNION OIL COMPANY
Residents OF Mesa Propose Appeal to

Beach Lands
snscial to Tho Rsrald.

Special to The Bsrald
SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 2.-The
Union Oil company of California has
acquired, through the agency of e. M.
Sheridan, a land agent of that COM
pany, who only a few days ago pur-
chased the property from Mrs. Sarah
Collins, twenty-five acres in the resi-
Dental section of the mesa, just out
side the city limits, the consideration
being $4,000.
1t is the intention of the oil company
to erect tankage on the property, from
which it is proposed to supply the local
customers of that concern, the principal
ones being the Potter Hotel company
and the Edison Electric company of
this city.
Objections to the location of such an
unsightly thing as an oil tank have al
ready been made by the residents OF
the mesa, and it is proposed by these
people to bring the matter to the at
tention of the park commission, pc
lieving that that body may devise
means to prevent the oil company from
pumping from tank steamers moored
at sea over the beach land 1T has re-
Gently acquired. \
About three years ago the Union O1i
company sought a franchise from the
city to lay pipe lines along the com
mercial wharf and the streets of Santa
Barbara, but the franchise was re-
fused for the reason that the handling
of oil by such means would spoil the
beach for surf bathing.
