THREATENING IN GALLOWAY

Passengers arriving In Paducah on
train, No. 1903, from Princeton this
morning at $50 report that great ex-
element prevailed at that place last
night over the Tumor that the "Hll
Billie tobacco growers were prepar-
ing to attack the town. and mob Ward
Headley, attorney for the association,
who is alleged to have made incen-
larry talks against the independent
growers.
When the train left Princeton at
2:40 O'Clock this morning 800 citi-
zens, heavily armed, were patroling
the streets ready to resist an attack,
but reports from that place this morn
ing were that their vigils were in vain
no attempt at disorder being made.
Independents Organize.
Information has been received
from several counties in the Black
Patch that the independent growers
are organizing for their protection and
are also preparing TO wage an aggres-
sive warfare on the night riders and
conditions are rapidly approaching the
ranger and regulator regime" of
Texas and other western states. In
Galloway and other counties warnings
have been given, that If the property
of the Independent farmer is destroyed
the association farmers will be held
responsible and their property de-
stroyed also.
"The tobacco war seems to be ap-
preaching a terrible crisis" remarked
a travelling salesman at the Union sta
ton this morning. 81 have visited
several counties across the river dur
ing the past ten days and there is a
state of alarm almost everywhere. and
since the "Hill Billies'' have begun to
organize, there is no property exempt
from the torch of the night rider"
Boldest Yet.
"At Eddyville Saturday, March Z,
a band of about 800 men rode into
town and gave notice from the court
house steps that all business with
court officials must be transacted be-
fore 2 o'clock that afternoon as they
intended occupying the court house
for a meeting. None of the men
wore face masks, but a majority wore
the significant white scarf around
their necks. The court officials
promptly left their offices at the time
specified and the meeting was held.
Guards were placed around the court
house and no one was permitted to
enter the building until the meeting
had adjourned. The scarfs were white
cloths drawn around the neck and
crossed on the breast

Lincoln. Neb. March i6.-"In the
long run party's strength must de-
pend on the popularity of its policies
and, measured by these. there is no
doubt that the Democratic party is
much stronger than it was either in
1896 or 1900"
Such was the confident assertion OF
William ]. Bryan in the library of his
home in the outskirts of Lincoln.
80 far as the issues are con-
Icerned," said Mr.. Bryan, "the plat
form adopted in Nebraska last fall
covered these issues, | think, in a
very satisfactory manner. Not to
specify everything. 1t declared for a
vigorous enforcement of the criminal
law against trusts, insisted on further
.prohibtive legislation TO restrain cor
.porations from contributing TO cam
.paign funds and favored the election
of senators by direct popular vote 1t
argued for an immediate revision OF
the tariff by a reduction of import
duty, spoke for an income tax as a
part of the revenue system, and pro-
tested against government by injunc-
ton.
For Waterways Improvement.
81 am very much in favor of ap-
preparations for the Mississippi, Ohio
and Missouri and such other streams
as can be made useful for commerce.
The saving would be very great and
a plank covering this subject should
be added to the Nebraska platform.
Since that platform was adopted
there are brought forward two ques-
tons which are now being discussed
much more than they have been ia
recent years. namely emergency cut.
rency and the protection to deposit
lions. | think these questions will
enter into the coming campaign, and
| am fully in sympathy with the posi-
ton taken by the Democrats in the
senate and house in favor of United
States notes instead of bank notes fOi
emergency currency"

Gilbertsville, Ky. March 16. (Spe-
cial) About fifty night riders took
possession of Gilbertsville Saturday
night and cut the telephone wires, but
did no other damage. 1t is not known
where they were going or what their
object was. They came from the di-
rection of Birmingham.
Fugitivcs Come Here.
Since Saturday 10 negroes have ar
rived in Paducah from the vicinity of
Birmingham, Marshall county, where
they were warned to leave. Many ar
rived on the steamer Kentucky from
the Tennessee river. and some even
walked the entire distance. Several
entire families have arrived i'm the
city, and they brought only what
household goods they could carry con-
yeniently. Last week the colored
people were warned by masked men
to leave, and they were not slow to
heed the warning. Only the young
negroes were ordered to leave, but
many of the older men and women
have become frightened and left.
The new Corners have nothing in
view here more than to escape from
Birmingham. Paducah drew most OF
the fugitlves, but many went in other
directions.
Riding in the Night.
A man was in the city today who
lives on the Cumberland river, and UNI
der assurance his name would not be
used said many of the people, who
have sold tobacco outside of the asso-
citation secured but little sleep. The
people are afraid to sleep at night
and depend on taking a few maps
during the day. At all hours of the
night men ride by on horseback with
nothing to say to anyone. People
owning property are constantly on the
watch, and it is with difficulty that
they are induced to talk about the sit
uation.
At Murray.
Murray, KY, March 16.-(Special)
Notices signed might Riders" have
been posted in several sections OF the
city warning negroes that they must
leave the city and although the no.
tees are believed to have emanated
from irresponsible persons, probably
boys, the blacks are much alarmed
and several have announced their in
tention to leave the city.
Some feeling has recently grown
out of the fact that Dock Ford. we'll
to do colored man, bought a nice
home in the white residence portion.
and there have been rumors of an at
tempt being made to eject Ford and
him family from the premises.
The notices were posted Sunday
night.

Certainly no Christian power would

No other Christian province, which

been forced back.

TAMPERING WITH JUDICIARY.

'iMr. Bryan simply confines himself
to the anti-injunction plank of his own
platform and tell us publicly, definitely
and clearly whether he accepts or re-
jects the statement of Mr.. Gompers
that this plank pledges him to the
principles of the bill for which Mr..
Gompers stands; and whether if elect
ed, he will endeavor to have this pro-
posal enacted into law. This is asked
honestly in the interest of that large
voting population which believes sim
legitimate right and interest of labor,
but which believes also that from the
standpoint of the best interest of labor
it neither requires nor is entitled to
more than justice. and that the right
formally recognized In the law OF the
land. "-Theodore Roosevelt.
Bryan wrote his own platform and
the injunction plank contained there is
meaningless.
That plank reads as follows:
Questions of judicial practice have
arisen, especially in connection with
industrial disputes. We deem that the
parties to all judicial proceedings
should be treated with rigid Impartial
ity, and that injunctions should not
be issued in any cases in which in
functions would not issue If no indus
trial dispute were involved"
That is a slip sod evasion. Its only
color comes from the statements which
Gompers has read into it. Bryan
himself has said nothing.
Does he mean to make the business
man an outlaw? Does he mean that
the secondary boycott is an Inalienable
right Of either employer or employe?
Judge Tafts decisions said that un-
der the law the secondary boycott
could not be employed by either capital
Or labor. 1t is the one safeguard the
American people have, for not being
embroiled every time labor dispute
comes up. The truth is that not only
the parties to labor dinspute must
be treated impartially, but so must
the public.
Any attempt to promote the second
airy boycott either of capital or labor
by the suspending of the laws either
for capital or labor is dangerous.
The Injunction and restraining order
are necessary to good government.
That the judiciary should be assailed
by either labor or capital for being i'm
partial is a most dangerous tendency
in modern life. Judge Taft was impair
tial in his decisions. Shall he be as
sailed for his impartality because la
Dor demands a partial treatment?
Are we ito make an outlaw OF the
| business man because his right to car
ry on lawful business under the
peace OF the law has been protected by
the process Of Injunction, because in
a word, one Of the most vital and most
| fundamental rights OF business man
to carry on his business, has been sus-
tanned and not denied by the processes
Of the courts Of equity, this sweeping
attack of Mr.. Gompers upon the judi
ciary has been made in a frank and
open effort to secure votes for Mr..

fear that he will not hand ont fat jobs
for their lieutenants. 1t looks that
way. It looks as IL they were afraid
OF man who thinks the people OF In
diana are perfectly competent to settle
the liquor question for themselves in
their own localities as local bad condi-
tions brought on by these same men
may demand.
II Marshall is as many people think
a straight sort of man, why is it that
he shows no better control over his
party than to allow it to be exploited
by crooks. The rank and file Of demo-
cracy are quite as law abiding and re-
spectacle as any other, but to have
Taggart and Crawford Fairbanks die
tating from behind the throne and US
ing the worst element of the saloon
forces to see to it that their ticket is
elected is incongruous, to say the
least.
The fault Of all this disturbance lies
in the efforts of Crawford Fairbanks
and Thomas Taggart to dictate the
government of Indiana. That has cAus-
ed county local option, and it will cause
the defeat of Marshall.
Once .Taggart and Fairbanks are
thrust out of political life things will
go on more smoothly and there will be
better government

WHOSE FAULT?

Who stirred up all this row about
county local option anyway? Who
made the passage Of the law neces-
sity?
The worst element OF the saloon men
and certain men engaged in the manu-
facture Of liquors and also engaged in
politics. In most cases the worst ele-
ment Of saloonists were (and still are)
not only In league, but the tools OF
these men. The worst element got i'm
munfty and the big guns got the plum
der. Naturally the brewers who were
in for the plumber wanted to be let
alone.
The sentiment Of communities was
outraged and owing to popular feeling
on the subject the republican party
took up the matter in the only sane
way. That Is to fix things so that in
the locality where lawless saloon keep
ers made themselves obnoxious the
people might put a stop to it. And
by the very existence of county local
option in a community it practically
forces good behavior on the part OF
salon keepers lest they be driven out.
The fault OF all this is the crooked
saloon keeper.
If county local option had not come
when it did there might have been
prohibition legislation passed.
But what do these men in the brew
cry councils do. Do they trust the
people for square deal? No. they are
afraid of leaving it to people appar
emily.
They have guilty consciences.
If the brewery people had showr
more confidence in the people the PEG
pie would have shown more for them
But why is it that the brewers have
been fighting SO assiduously agains,

give them special privileges. Do they
