ON THE RIGHT TACK AT LAST


ON THE RIGHT TACK AT LAST.
ga report from the Menifee coun-
ty states that three different build
ings used for school purposes were
burned within thirty days at Mariba.
The schoolhouse was first burned,
then two other buildings was rented
for the purpose, when each of them
were burned.
ION the burning OF the last build
ing the parties went to the home of
the teacher, took her horse from the
stable and rode it to where the house
was burned. leaving it hitched there.
"'A schoolhouse was also burned
at McCausey, same county The peo-
pie are much wrought up over thu
affair. News Item
''At last the night riders are upon
the right tack" says the Courier
Journal. ITO revert completely to
harbarism we must do away with thu
light of reason, and as a preliminary
step we should of course abolish
school houses and churches, whip the
school teachers across the frontier
and kick the ministers of the gospel
out of the state. The real rule OF the
night rider would then begin and
hoodlumism enthroned would be-
cone the actual governing power.
"An of the activities of the night
riders and the SNUG promoters of
night riding have tended toward the
discstablishment of civilization as
well as the abolition of individual
rights. But the Mendfee county
riders" are the first TO begin where
the beginning should be. Benighted
ignorance and mob rule go haaad in
hand. First burn the school house,
then terrorize the women who teach
then soundly whip the girls
and boys who have the effrontery to
desire to learn to read and write, and
the foundations Of night rider gov
eminent are laid upon the right sort
Of ground.
"Rah for Menifee county, which
Is much more progressive than Flu
ton, where they burn the homes Of
defenselesS negroes and murder the
negro babies but leave the school
houses standing. allowing the rising
TO learn TO become better
citizens than their elders"
Perhaps, the esteemed Courier
Journal is not aware Of the fact that
the night riders out this way need
the school houses for meeting places.

BAR HARBOR AGAIN
BARS AUTOMOBILES

Bar Harbor, Me, March 4.-Some-
what Of a surprise was experienced at
the annual town meeting Tuesday
" hen the automobile laws which pro-
hibit the use of automobiles in Bar
Harbor came up for repeal. Those who
keep in close touch with the political
affairs Of the town expressed it. as
their opinion that the laws would be
repealed or modified this year, but a
to / vote clearly demonstrated the
unpopularity of the horseless vehicles
in staid old Bar ,Harbor.
Ex- Senator +. S. Clark and County
Attorney c. II. Wood expatiated
against the machines, while f. n.
Benson and DR.. George A. Phillips tried
to railroad the measure through. The
discussion was heated at all times
and one eloquent orator had to be eau
toned against indulging in PERSONAL
tiles.
The ultimate outcome of the auto
mobile question, which has for years
been the predominant issue at every
town meeting, is problematical. Those
in favor CT the automobiles, despairing
of gaining their point before the vOt-
ers. intend to test the constitutionality
OF the state law which leaves to the
option of the town melting the right

the island.

Sharkey, then referee, assisted by
Reyes, carried Loughrey to his corner.
No one was more distressed over the
accident than Bert Reyes. That it was
an accident no one who witnessed the

Keyes had half completed the swing
which abruptly ended the. battle, his
foot slipped and he fell forward, the
blow landing low.

New York. March 4.-The small circle
of professional traders whose operations

find arguments as nominal explanation
of. their operations. TIE day was piico-
cally barren Of price movements or news

completely the hopes OF any Immediate

marked on the part of sellers as of buy
