9 ARRESTS
Saturday, Bringing Total for
Month Up to 40.

Last Saturday was not a busy day
with everybody, as the disagreeable
weather kept people from coming to
town. The police force, however.
had the busiest day for long time.
Meanness seemed to have broken out
afresh and the officers were kept
continually on the move. The rec
ord at the office of the Chief of Po-
lice yesterday morning showed a
roundup of 9 arrests for the follow
ing offenses:
Breach of the peace. ........."....2

Four of the parties arrested Sat-
urday were white and 5 were ne
groes. Forty-nine arrests have been
made for February.

TALKS ON NIGHT RIDERS
Wilson Says all Power of
Kentucky Will be Used.

New Y o r k, F airy, IA
Governor Augustus E. Wilson,
discussed the depredations of the
might riders" in his State, saying
that they had brought great dam
age, but that before long they would
be stamped out and the guilty pun
ished.
Governor Wilson said the Blue
Grass State was debatable political
grounds with chances favoring a
Republican victory in the State this
year if the right candidate was
nominated. OF the tobacco situation
in the State and the night riders, he
said:
1.-The night riders a lot of cow
ards. Any man who goes around at
night wearing a mask is coward.
Twenty men Of our militia could
fight 500 of them. They have work
ed great havoc, destroying property
and are even responsible for loss of
life, but every power at the COM
mand Of the State authorities will
be used to check them. The power
of the law will be soon restored and
the guilty ones will be punished, y

Cured in that view. More than a
thousand shots were fired, but for
tunately nobody was injured. A
young woman, whose curiosity led
her to open her window for view
of the army, was struck in the face
by few glancing shot.
The only tobacco man visited was
j. M. Bradshaw, who is prizer for
one of the growars' associations.
Mr.. Bradshaw was ordered to close
up billiard hall which he owns.
Promise to Return.
The visitors were unable to COM
plete the work planned and departed
at A o'clock as quietly as they had
come, with promise to return in
the near future and finish their
work.
The negroes whipped were John
Holloway, Sheridan Steel, Logan
Mcbride, George Gordon, Buck Rab-
beth, Press Adams, Harrison Crump
and George Brewster.
Sixty of the men crossed the river
on a ferry boat and it is reported
thattheynot only did not pay the
ferryman but whipped him.

him at Chapel Hill. near Raleigh, N.

days that he spent as guard for the
property Of a Union man near that
place. He expects to visit the Union
man If still living. His services ended
by his being in charge of a squad sent
to Polk County to preserve order and
protect the people. He had little trou-
BILE there, and SO his sojoWn was un-
eventfui.

The country has not depended on
Congress to take notice OF this matter

and the Woman's Relief Corps began
a year ago getting ready for this great
anniversary. The Grand Army of tho
Republic promulgated its program
weeks ago. Here in Washington a vet

II. Oldroyd, who has great Lincoln
museum in the house in which Lin
coin died, prepared program which
embodies all and much more than Sem
ator Dick has suggested In his bill. In
fact, theNxirst part of the Dick resolu-
ton would suggest that he had seen
that identical program.
But that is neither here nor there
Every patriot in this country ought to
have good red blood enough in his
heart to attend a Lincoln meeting on
Feb. -. either in Post, q Corps or in

cal year ended June 80 last, says John

Congress has wakened to the fact
that Feb. Il VIII be the centenary OF
the birth of Lincoln. Yes, sir, and
Congress is going to celebrate-per-
haps. Il isn't quite settled yet, but
perhaps before Congress adjourns in
the Spring something will be done to
commemorate the Tooth anniversary of
the man who saved that big white
house on the hill, so that future Con-
gresses might sit there, their souls un-
scared. Senator Dick, of Ohio, has in
troduced bill, and part of 1t reads
like This:

Mrs. Taft . wprker.

Mrs. Taft is almost the first woman
to occupy the White House who has
taken an active interest in sthe worlds
affairs-that is. in the way OF mixing
paners % 'a and that sort 81 Thing. Mrs.
Hayes was a strong w. C. 7. u. woman,
and retained her interest while In the
White House. but she did not engage
actively in anything else. Many of the
wives Of Presidents have been fair poll
ticians, and they've got to be diplomats
IL they ge. along amicably with the
many difficulties Of their high position,
and possibly it 10 well that they should
not engage too much In affairs Of the
outside world, as they would be more
or less liable to cOmpltcate things for
their husbands. Mrs. Abigail AdamJ,
wife of the second President, was a
born politician. and strong support to
her husband thru his trying years Of
office. but she took no active part in
Affairs of State, tho many men now
counted statesmen have left evidence
that her ideas were lofty, her judgment
clear and her influence uplifting, and
that they were fond Of talking to her
about the fireplace In the White House.
Most OF the wives of the Presidents
have been sweet, honey women. deeply
impressed with the greatness Of their
husbands, and perfectly willing that
they should bear the burdens OF State,
while they ATTENDED strictly TO the So
cia1 demands Of First LAZY in the
Land"
Mrs. Taft is liable to prove an excep-
ton to the rule. She is possessed OF
abounding health, and has learned to
think for herself. She is a fine musi-
clan, having fitted herself to teach mu-
sic IL it had been necessary. Mrs Taft
is member OF number Of clubs. and
among others the Civic Federation,
which has been meeting In New York.
Mrs. Taft read paper on civic better
ment which Is highly complimented by
the critics. and she was elected honor
ary National Chairman of the National
Civic Federation. As the mistress of
the White House and First Lady of
the Land" Mrs Taft. II Is expected.
will be able to enlarge the scope of the
organization, and greatly aid in its eff
forts toward the amelioration OF pres
ent civil evils.
