VIEWS OF THE NEWSPAPERS
Governor Is Commended for Prompt
and Energetic Action.
Called Out the Militia with a COur-
age That Disregarded Conse-
Quences and Thereby
Saved Many Lives.

The attitude Of Governor Deneen
toward the violators of law and the
peace of the city Of Springfield has
ELECTED widespread comment in Illi-
nois, adjoining states and those COM
monwealths nearest the two coasts.
Nearly all the Illinois papers have re-
ferred edtOrially to the outbreak. Here
are some of the more recent editorials:
'The attitude of Governor Deneen
toward the suppression Of rioting in
the state capital has won the approval
of many who have been his carping
critics. Race riots are always serious
when prejudice rises to such a pitch as
it did in Springfield. It was difficult
place for a public official It would
have been a very trying situate for
Governor Deneen if he had been mere
~ politician. In this emergency he
rose to the occasion. No one would
condone the venting Of mob violence
and the manning of so many innocent
citizens, the destruction Of property for
which the municipality must pay and
the taking of lives of people who had
done nothing to merit it. If the guilty
negroes had been lynched there might
have been shadow of excuse, but this
was not the case. Governor Deneen
very promptly announced his purpose
Of suppressing mob violence If it called
on the resources of the whole state. He
called out enough militia to subdue the
rioters and cow them. He did this
with courage that disregarded conse-
quences, caring not whether his action
was approved or condemned by those
whose opinion might carry weight
with voters. He determined that law
and order should rule and it has ruled
since the governor promptly got into
action in his effort to rescue the city
that was the home Of Lincoln and is
his burial place, from the hands of a
triumphant mob. Governor Deneen
deserves credit instead Of condemna-
ton. Had he refrained from acting
and had he allowed the hobs to con-
tinue rioting he would have been
worthy of blame. None but the VIC
lent would speak Ill of the governor
who had the courage to act when it
became necessary to save the name Of
the state Of Illinois. His action In
this case is a guarantee that mob vio-
lence need not be feared in Illinois so
long as Charles S. Deneen is governor"

Governor Did His Duty.

at may be the recent primary held
in Springfield and through the state
has had something to do with the i'm.
pudence of the negro of that city. The
city administration has been strong for
Yates, and the negro, it is believed,
numbered fully ninety per cent for
him. He was coaxed, begged, aud
threatened according to those who
know, that all might get into the
Yates band wagon. The whites of
Springfield have never experienced
such trouble with the negroes as that
of the present summer.
"Just now these same fellows are
charging that Governor Depeen has
not acted quickly in attempting to put
down the rioting In other words,
they would seem to attempt to throw

that matter into the political aroua
with the purpose Of weakening the
cause of the governor politically. Such
a course measures up In accordance
with the standard of what they have
been doing in the past.
''They have caused the negro ref,l-
gees to believe the same thing. Those
who were in Clinton this week talked
of the delay on the part Of the execu-
tive. People in Dewitt county will
take no stock in any such talk as that.
They have stood for the cause Of the
former governor but when it comes
to an attempt to make political capital
out Of the riot for the benefit of any
one, the people here in this county will
not tolerate it. There is not one, only
who is blind to the truth, except be-
lieves Governor Deneen has done HE
whole duty. Four thousand two hun
dred of the states militia now patrol
the streets of Springfield. They were
there within few hours Of the begin
ming of the trouble. The promptness
with which the governor has acted
will strengthen him with the people,
and will lose to those who are attempt
ing to lessen his work in the eyes
of the voters of this state If there IS
any one thing which can be rightfully
charged against Governor Deneen, it Is
his sincerity in his work. He has
been thoroughly sincere in the work
Of putting down the rotng He has
accomplished it and the words uttered
by those who have been foremost in
accusing him will now rebound to
their harm. What has occurred should
be a lesson to those who have been

mems prompt and decisive action in
calling out the state troops that it's
loss of life and property was not great
er than it is already called upon to
face. It was the time when dilly-dal-

astrous results to the city and to San

greater blemish that would have been
left upon the state. Governor Deneen
neither hesitated or faltered in hand

the trouble He acted not the part Of

Editorial Comment: Mr.. Berry's
former report of his ripe experience
has aroused much interest in under
drainage. That interest ought to be
kept alive till 1t results in many IN
derdrains. Underdrains in hillsides
that are seepy and in many that are
not. will put such life into the soil
that one will scarcely realize that
IL Is the same place. Air in the soil
is as necessary as water for the
growth of crops; and rear by year
the drains will go on making the
land more open and make available
more plant food. On wet land OF
great richness. underdrains will al
most make the difference between
having no land for cultivated crops
aud having very productive land. II
is suggested that 4 trial with under
draining be made at least with the
home garden. for that will SO well
teach a valuable lesson that more
nnderdrainage will be used on the
farm.

 Burke at Cullman

quoted remark said to have been made by supreme court judge on the streets of Montgomery to the effect that the de- fendants ought not to be convicted in more than one case.
 Judge Burke had himself been sub poenaed as a witness for the state, to prove the calling of the prohibition elec- tion last December, and objections were made to his sitting as judge in the case for this reason. An additional ground of objection was set up, that having as as- serted by the defendants attorney, agreed heretofore to mol ploss the cases, he was incapacitated to try them. These objec- tions he overruled, and proceeded to mol prosse all the cases except one against each defendant. The solicitor and MT Brown reserved the right to file of record a written protest against the action of the court,
 All the cases against Al Richter were mol pressed, he having already been con vcted in two cases.
 The attorneys for the state doubt the legality of Judge Burke's action, both on account of his being a witness in the cases. and in entertaing mol pross over the objections and protest of the sollcl- tor. Mandamus proceedings to test the matter are being considered, but no oeh- nite decision has yet been reachea.

POLITICS MORE LIVELY

Ensley, July 2O.-(SpeciaL)- )-City Sanitary Inspector J. R. Acuff is suc- ceeding admirably in his war against the weeds. The city code has a sec tion that makes it unlawful for any one to have weeds growing in front of his premises. A copy of this sec tion is being distributed and the weeds along the sidewalks and in the yards are fast disappearing. The city of ficials have made up their minds to try to keep up the excellent health record the city has enjoyed in the past. The pools are being drained and the word has gone out to "clean up." The city will in the next few days ap- point a milk and meat inspector, the council at it's last meeting having au- thorized the sanitary committee to do so.
