thief PITTS SUGGESTIONS.

Chief of Police Pitt, i'm a communica-
ton submitted to the city council Mon
day evening. suggests that some sweep
ing changes be made in the ordinances
governing the Sunday saloon and the
gambling evils. TIE chief declares that
it is very difficult to secure evidence
sufficient 10 convict the seller of intOxi-
cants on Sunday. Therefore, he would
have the council enact an ordinance re-
quiring saloOnkeepers to lock the doors
of their establishments on Sunday and
prohibiting the entrance of any per-
sons, even for the purpose of cleaning
the places. Also he would have all
screens removed and all curtains run
up, in order that the entire interior of
every barroom may be seen at a
glance.
Finally, the chief believes the ordi-
nance should provide that the fact that
an individual is seen in a saloon on
Sunday be held a sufficient offense to
warrant the revocation of the license.
Another ordinance proposed is one
abolishing the private wine rooms to
which women are taken, and prohibit
ing women from visiting saloons at any
time We are rather inclined TO agree
with Chief Pitt The way to close a
saloon on Sunday is to close it. The
council should give the police depart
ment every aid to the performance Of
its duty. If the ordinances suggested
are constitutional, they should be en-
acted.
1t is not necessary for any saloon
keeper to spend Sunday, or to have
anybody else spend that day, in clean
ing up his place. There is an album
dance of time between the hours of u
o'clock Sunday night and o'clock
Monday morning in which to clean the
biggest saloon in the city. When a
man is in and around a saloon for any
purpose it is always a temptation to
him 10 sell or give away drinks TO
friends that "just happen" along. We
would have that template removed.
Another difficult problem IS the gam
bling. Chief Pitt has in mind an ordi-
nance under which a conviction for
gambling can be secured when there is
no money on the table. 1t is a well
known fact that in most games of
chance checks made of celluloid or
ivory are used. Money for checks and
checks for money" is familiar phrase
of the gambling fraternity. 1t is just
as much gambling to gamble for checks
that can be exchanged for money, as
ID gamble for the money itself, and the
presumption that men who are sitting
around a card table playing poker with
checks in front of them are playing for
money is so strong that convictions
should be easy whether money is in
sight or not.

We have never been fair to Mr. Bryan,
and never will be fair TO man of MIR.
Bryan's independence. On the contra
ry, the Times has always been fair to
Mr.. Bryan. Our correspondents mis-
judgment of the case arises, probably.
from his point of view"
To ascertain whether or not the
Times is fair to Mr.. Bryan, it is not
necessary to look further than the ed
itorial from which the above quotation
was made. Within the next few para
graphs the Times says that Mr.. Bryan
is probably the most conspicuous ex-
ample now before the American people
of commercialism in politics" Is this
fair statement Of the case? Is Mr..
Bryan so much to blame because. since
he was nominated for the presidency at
Chicago he has accumulated a comfort
able fortune? If he had not been an
able man. could he have retained his
leadership? Could he have made
money?
But the Times continues:
"He (Bryan) is so empty, shallow,
and void of idecs that he spends much
of his time I'm approving. applauding,
and repeating what Mr.. Roosevelt says.
1t is idiotic to suppose that the Demo-
Gratis can advance to victory under a
leader who is but a copy and echo of
the other partys much more capable
leader. In such condition an opposi-
ton party is obviously superfluous."
We confess a curiosity regarding the
Times definition of unfairness if this
is its idea of fairness. Mr.. Bryan was
in public life when President Roosevelt
was a police commissioner in New
York City. He was advocating control
and regulation of the criminal combi-
nations and monopolies when Roose-
welt was a member of the civil service
commission. He had spoken in favor
of more effective railway rate laws be-
fore Roosevelt became assistant score
tary of the navy. There is not, in fact,
a single popular policy undertaken by
President Roosevelt that was not first
outlined by Mr.. Bryan.
Roosevelt has been the echo, Bryan
the originator, and for any man or any
newspaper to say that the contrary is
the case is for that man or that news
paper to state a gratuitous, unmiti-
gated and objectionable falsehood.

KENTUcKY's WHITEcAPs.

The night riders are still going their
devious ways about Kentucky, burning
tobacco factories and barns, whipping
and terrorizing citizens, committing
every crime from assault to murder.
People who live outside of Kentucky
are beginning to wonder why the as
sassins and incendiaries are not pun
ished. The name of many of them
must be known to the authorities, but
up to date no criminal action has been
lodged against any of them. At Eddy
vile, during a recent raid, LOCO shots
were fired by a mob of $50 men, a po-
lice judge, former city marshal and a
sometime deputy mars L were beaten
with many stripes. So were some ne
groes. the cause of whose offending
seems a mystery.
A county judge was visited and in
formed that he was not whipped be-
cause of his advanced age. but unless
he showed in future marked friendship
for members of the Tobacco Growers
association, he would be dealt with Sc
yerely. And then the mob rode, un-
moIested, out of town. The state of af-
fairs in the tobacco-growing district
very closely resembles anarchy, and
the state and county officials seem to
be making very little effort to bring il
to an end by the punishment of the Of
tenders.
Now. it is impossible for us to be-
lieve that the tobacco growers of Ken
lucky. although they have been sorely
harassed by the tobacco trust, are an
archists and lawbreakers. That they
had a right to band themselves tOgeth-
er to resist the encroachments of the
trust is not denied. They had been
driven to desperation. The trust held
them in the hollow of its hand. They
were paid for their tobacco, not the
real value of the tobacco, but exactly
what the trust cared to pay. And the
trust paid no more than enough to
meet the expense of growing the crops.
The organization of the growers has
had the effect of tremendously better
ing their condition. Tobacco is bring
ing a higher price in Kentucky this
season than at any time since the war
between the states. The increased
prices were made possible through the
pooling of the crops and the refusal to
sell except at living figures. But some
growers have refused to enter the COM
bination. They have benefited by the
higher prices, but they have not done
their part toward creating them. 1t -
only natural that the anger of the or
ganization men should be excited
against the outsiders.
Still, this does not justify anarchy.
And we do not believe that the grow
ers' society, as a society, countenances
the night riding, the arson and the as
sassinations. The society perhaps at
the outset connived at some mild dis
ciplinary measures. But these meas
ures have grown to an extent that is
unbearable. Private grudges are being
fattened, personal vengeances are be-
ing satisfied under the cloak and cover
over the society. The members of that
organization should now speak in no
uncertain tones. They should insist
upon the punishment of the criminals.
regardless of their standing. to the end
that law and order may be restored in
Kentucky.
