Cincinnati, o., October s.
Congressman Nicholas Long
worth, who was in Cincinnati
today enroute to the East where
he will continue his speaking
tour, denounced as a campaign

in a speech at Rock Island, H.,

Taft had served two terms as
President, President Roosevelt
would again be a candidate for
the presidency.

"The facts of the case are

chairman of the meeting as a
son of Ohio, and since Ohio
seemed TO be determined to
break the record as a mother of
Presidents, he said in a jocular
vein that | probably would be a

MASSACRE BY
NIGHT RIDERS
The Most Horrible Crime of the
Western kentucky Series.
SEVEN NEGROES SHOT WHILE
FLEEING FROM BURNING HONE

Hickman, KY, Oct. 4.-One of
the most horrible affairs that ev.
er happened here was a raid
made last night at ~ o'clock by
night riders on the family of
Dave Walker, a negro. Walker
had cursed a white woman and
drew a gun on IA white man. The
mob coal-oIled and set fire all
around the house, as the negroes
came out, shot them down. Dave
Walker, his five-year-old daugh-
ter aud a small baby being kill
ed IN its mothers arms as she
came from the burning house.
The mother was shot through
the stomach, and will die. Three
other children were shot down
aud will probably die. The old
est son is missing, and it is sup
posed he was burned.
The band numbered about fif.
ty. They took Joe Williams, a
white man, from his house to
hold their horses while they did
the work.

CONSUMPTION
CONTROLLADLE.
Responsibility Of Society is en-.
phasizcd by Eminent
Physician.
REFUrES THE THEORY OF IN.
FICTION FROM INHERITANCE.

Washington, Oct. 4.-"If every
unit of our society is willing to
do that which they can do, l
feel confident that the day is not
far distant when we Will have
wiped the dread disease, tubercu-
losis, off the face of the earth. "
This was the message of hope
given today by DR.. Lawrence
Flick, of Philadelphia, one of
the eminent medical men of the
country, at the National Museum
where the tuberculosis exposi-
tion is being held in connection
with the International Congress
on Tuberculosis which adjourned
yesterday.
DIR. Flick emphasized the part
society should play in the great
work of stamping out tuberculo-
sis, saying it had responsibility
and a duty to perform that should
not go untitled. Calling atten-
tion to the fact that what is
wanted is the spread of knowl-
edge, he said that the rest Is
easy.
Workers Easy Victims.
Tuberculosis is peculiarly a
disease of the wage earner,"
said DIR. Flick, 'and this is so
for the very ground reason that
one of the strongest predisposing
causes of the disease is overwork.
1t is an exceedingly fatal and
prevalent disease among wage
earners,"
DIR. Flick pointed out that the
reason why the wage Garner is
so likely to contract tuberculosis
is because in many instances he
is overworked. He tolls in UNI
sanitary workshops and often
times he is underfed, which
causes his powers of resistance
to be less able to throw off an
Implantation of the tubercle ba-
cilli. If the wage Garner gets
the lmplantation, DR.. Flick said,
it is almost certain to result fat
ally. He refuted the theory of
infection from inheritance, say
ing that unless the tuberculosis
micro-organism is admitted into
our bodies, it is not possible for
one to become infected.

it, to render an account Of his

Indiana Looks Good

From all sections of Indiana come
good reports. The Louisville Courier
J0"rnal prints dispatch from Shelby
VILE Ind, as follows: John J. Win
gate, the veteran editor of the Shelby
vile Daily News, one of the pest known
ard most influential newspaper men in
the state, is firm in his belief that Taft
will not carry Indiana and that Tom
Marshall will be elected governor. He
has voted for every republican nominee
for president from Lincoln down to
Roosevelt. Republican prospects for
success in Indiana looks gloomy re-
marked Mr.. Wiugate today. TO my
mind, the political battle in Indiana has
yet to he won, with the chances most
favorable to the democracy. They have
no entangling alliances. Harmony
exists in every congressional district.
Bryan and Kern are immensely popular
with Indiana democrats. They will
poll more votes than any other dem
ocratic ticket that could have been
nominated But how is it with the re-
publicaus? The steam roller at Chicago
seems to have taken all of the enthusi-
assn out of the state organization. The
Indiana republicans received slap in
the face at Chicago which crushed their
pride and cut their feathers in an
alarming manner. They are certainly
without hope, at least for this cam
paign. They have been given notice
that they are not wanted, and have
been ordered to the rear to repent in
sackcloth and ashes for having the
aulacity to oppose Mr.: Roosevelt's pet
candidate for the presidency. Then
they have other troubles to grieve over
and discourage them, among them u
weak state ticket, with the candidate
for governor i'll bad reputc with the
labor organizations, the old soldiers and
the temperance people. The campaign
, opens with the republicans on the de-
fcrlsivC, and it is bound to continue
along that line until election day. "

MIR. ROOSEVELT PRESUMES
UNDULY

The New York Sun, one of the lead
ing republican journals of the country,
gives President Roosevelt the following
roast for his criticism of Judge Gros-
cups decision in the Standard Oil case:
We do not approve of Mr.. Roosevelts
attacks on the courts. We do not think
that Mr.. Roosevelt's character qualities
him to criticise the courts in any way.
We do not think that the public is
i'll the mood, especially the public in
this state, to listen with patience to
abuse of the courts by corrupt and dis
honest politicians.
In the campaign of 1904 Mr.. Roose-
Welt obtained quarter of IL million
dollars from corporations represented
by Mr.. T.. II. Hartman, for the pur-
pose of corrupting the voters in this,
his own state.
There never was II SrOSscr instance
of political corruption in our history,
1t is pleaded in cXtcnuation of Mr..
ROOSevelt'S act that nc never meant to
carry out his part of the bargain where
~ hC SoI tIt iloHty, TIC IL WclcOnle
to the full force and effect of that plea
in mitigation.
We believe unrcservcdly in criticism
of the courts. That such criticism is
natural and wholesome no sensible man
ever disputed. But it must come from
men who have clean hands. Mr.. Roose-
volt is not fit person to pass Judgment
upon the laws administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt will do well to reflect
that his circumstances are changed and
that however blind and deaf to his
many dcrelictionS the public may have
been heretofore, it is now wide awake
and ke"nly sensitive to matters that
touch upon its own honor
Granting without hesitation that it
is true that Mr. Roosevelt has aroused
public sentiment in respect to integrity
il affairs and that he has uuickcncd the
public conscience in regard to civic
morals, he is gr'icvorsly mistaken if he
infcrs that in doing so he has establish
ed any right to immunity for himself.

down near the river. They came into
town yesterday morning, and proceed
ed down to the tramps' gathering
place. The two men who had robbed
them were boiling up" at the river,
aud as the two victims approached they
saw the robbers and drew back to hold
conference. They decided to go for
the police and as the highwaymen had
taken valuable watches and jewelry
from them, they described these articles
to the police, who descended upon
and arrested the robbers. The robbers
gave the names of r. F. Marin and
Edward Smith.
It is believed that an organized gang
is operating between here and Wells
and the policemen who made the cap
ture, Crompton and Shumaker, went
after the men with caution. The arti-
cles described by the compliments
were found amoung the effects of the
highwaymen, the latter being placed in
custody to be taken back by the Neva-
ia sheriff today.
This gang, the officers believe, is
similar to the one which operated here
few years ago, when the Sevner-
Williams gang was broken up and two
of them hanged for killing of one,
WEIGH.
The hold-up accomplished near Wells
was done in mastery manner. The
men were pounced upon shortly after
lying down to sleep when they were
bound, gagged and robbed, without the
victims even getting a chance to cry
out. It was so far from an habitation
that it would have been impossible for
anyone to have heard it. The men
were bound with wires obtained in the
cabin in which they were sleeping"
The prisoners were doubtless turnnd
over to Constable Drake of Wells in
stead of Sheriff Clark, as that officer did
not leave for Ogden until Monday night.
District Attorney Caine received a
dispatch from Wells last evening asking
him to come there on robbery case,
doubtless the one mentioned above. He
left on No. this morning in response
to the dispatch.

May Be Coal Famine

General Freight Agent Reeves of the
Oregon Short Line, who, with party
of officials, was in Nevada on tour of
inspection few days ago, gave out the
following statement in regard to the
fuel situation: 1.-THE people of Nevada
believing that there will be plenty of
coal this winter, as there was last, on
account of the slump in business a year
ago, are not putting in any orders for
coal, and it is my firm belief that they
will have much difficulty in securing
coal when they want it, At the present
time the mines of Utah and Wyoming
are closed down for three or four daHll
in the week on account of the slight az,
mand for fuel, when at this time of
the year they should be running at full
blast. There will surely be fuel
famine in the west unless the consum-
ers begin ordering fuel within short
time"
