JUDGE WELLS AND OTHERS.

County Judge Wells, of Galloway
says the Courier-Journal. has shown
his mettle BY taking a firm stand
against not only the mob, but also
the men of political influence who
S, mpathize with the mob. His activity
for law and order began at the psy-
Geological moment. The mob outrages
had driven the victims and possible
victims of atrocities to the point of
retaliation by night and open rebel
Ion by day. Retaliatory crimes are
as objectionable from the standpoint
OF civilized society as the acts that
provoke them. Open rebellion against
the tyranny of the mob Is what is
needed. Had the chill billies' and
egroes in Galloway and adjoining
proceedings, with the rifle and torch
as the instruments of vengeance. no
one would have been benefited, the
county and the state would have suf-
fered additional disgrace, property
within the zone of the revolution for
the overthrow of the night riders
would have become uninsurable and
homes and human lives would have
become merely pawns in the game OF
getting even.
The officials have adopted the right
course. Judge Wells, it is said, has
the cordial support of many good cit
liens and the loyal support of Sheriff
j. A. Edwards. Sheriff Edwards will
have important duties to perform
when the juries are selected to try
the alleged outlaws in the circuit
court. The outlook is that he will he
faithful in the performance of those
duties, and prospects are fright for
peace, the restoration of property
rights and the protection of life in
Galloway county.
Judge Cook, whose judicial distric:
embraces Galloway, Christian, Lyon
and Trigg counties, has al opportun-
ity to be of great service TO the state
in conducting the trials of night rid
ers. There is no evidence at present
to indicate that he will fail to meet
the requirements of the situation.
The dark tobacco section will be
fortunate if the county officials in 9th
er counties follow the example of
those in Galloway and make a vigor-
GUS and courageous effort to call
halt upon the mob before the unpro-
tected citizens take II upon them
,elves to seek a means of settling
scores as violent as the methods of
the mob.

TRUE-JEANs, GENTLEMEN.
tsong OF the Night Riders }

tCNhS "a ttft a"s0..N

It's M and out with the bat and OWL
We ride by night in fair and foul;
In foul and fair We take the pike.
And no man knows where our hand
shall strike;
For. gun and pistol, and torch and
mask.
These are our laws let any ask:
And should one ask, why, tell him
then
That we are the true-jeans gentlemen.
It's up and out with the owl and bait
The road winds back by wood and Nat
Black clouds are hunting the flying
moon:
Let them hunt her down, and mid
night soon
Shall blossom a wilder light, when
down
We gallop and shoot and burn the
town.
Who cares a curse who asks us
them
For we are the true-jcans gentlemen.
It's up and on! give the horse his
head
The rain is out and the world In bed
There stands a house by the roadway
black.
Where the station sleeps near the
railroad track.
Riddle its windows and batter its
door.
And call him out and shoot some
more
And If he questions why. damn him!
then
Just shoot him down like gentlemen.
Why he was wretch beneath all
scorn
Who planted the weed instead Of corn.
And here is another who sold, by God!
Just bare his back and ply the rod!
Now burn his barn, and, sink or
swim,
It's sport for us, but Hell for him.
And well he'll know when we leave
him then
That we are the true-jeans gentlemen
V.
Yes; we are kin to the bat and owl
We wait till night, then prey and
prowl.
The man who plants or sells this year
Our hounds shall smell him out, NO
fear.
The hunt is up who'll bid us halt?
Wei SOW his beds with grass and salt,
Or shoot him down like a dog, and
then
Ride off like true-jeans gentlemen

Journal.

Judge Reed has some words of
Wholesome advice for the wild youths
OF the Purchase counties IN his
charge to the grand jury. 1t prohab-
ly was with the hope of lettering
them, as much as the desire to punish
those already embarked on a criminal
career, that moved the Judge to so so
deeply into the subject of night rid
ing.
The Judge speaks fairly to the in
born honor of the American people
when he declares that "such practices
will not be tolerated by an intelligent
public for any considerable time. ;"
Officers of the court and civil officers,
who are thus aligning themselves
with right and justice, are not only
fulfilling their sacred obligation, but
they are exercising the highest discre-
tion. The law will prevail Why,
what would we be, if it would not?
After all the sufferance extended to
the desperadoes of the Black Patch
/, required an heroic will for a court
Official 10 come out boldly and speak
III equivocal language, and be it said
to the credit of Judge William Reed,
that he took the initiative in the night
rider business. Since he promptly
called special grand jury at Benton,
and Commonwealth S Attorney Lovett
succeeded in securing the evidence to
indict night riders. other judges afid
other commonwealth attorneSs have
followed suit.

JUDGE REEDS CHARGE TO THE
NIGHT RIDERS.

No more unique charge was ever
made to a grand jury, than that de-
Iivered yesterday by Judge William
Reed, of the McCracken circuit court
Like President Roosevelt's messages,
the paper was read to the grand jury,
but 1t is addressed to the people, and
i would make mighty good reading
for youths, who have been drawn into
scrapes, from which they would glad
ly withdraw. Judge Reed calls at
tention to the fact that anyone, who
conspires to perpetrate these out
RACES, IS just as guilty as the ones,
who actually perform the unlawful
acts, and if murder is committed in
the preparation OF crime in which
ali are implicated, all are equally
guilty.
Let us draw a lesson from the
birmingham raid. A mob of men
went there in the night time to whip
some negroes. We shall not waste
any time discussing their purpose and
the moral obliquity involved; but suf-
fee for this lesson that they didn't
20 there intending to commit murder
Nevertheless, they did commit MIR
der, and it is of little concern - the
commonwealth, who fired the shots
that killed their victims-every man
engaged in that raid, or that conspire
10 make the raid is equally guilty of
murder. and whether or not he is
brought TO justice for the deed, he
bears the stain of murder on his
soul
When men set forth on an uulaw-
full enterprise, which requires masks
aid the cover of darkness. they iaay
BE- presumed TO intend any natural
consequence of their acts, and all
crimes necessary to protect thelh
from exposure and capture. 50 when
they whip man and he dies, they are
guilty of premeditated murder. In
nearly every case the unexpected
arises. and confronted with the aitrrn-
alive of committing murder or being
killed or arrested themselves, whi"h
way will they turn in the heat of pas
sion and the hot Liooded decision Of
the instant?
When a man leagues with outlaws
to violate the law, he not only as
sumes joint responsibility with them
on the common enterprise, but he be-
comes involved in all the reckless un-
dertakings they may thereafter re-
solve upon. He is bound by the ties

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia T..
Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia 4. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
fited by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOmananyd day may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
4. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring 1t
to q healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia

An adequate idea of the intense in

yiung Mr.. Cooper during the past
year with his theories and medicines
Is given in the following article which
appeared In the Cincinnati Post while
Cooper was introducing his ideas TO
the people of that city. The article
says: "The beginning of Mr.. Cooper 5
second week In Cincinnati gives every
indication that he Is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as in other
cities.
From the first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have
steadily increased, until now II has
reached a point where several thou
sand talk with him each day. The
entire city seems to have become in
tcrested in his theory that the human
stomach is degenerate, and he already
has an army OF followers in Cincin-
natl who seem positive that his claims
are correct.
"A number of Cinclnnatians were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements, showing their Intense
faith in Coopers preparations, were
secured. The following are selected
from these statements and are char
acteristic of them all: Mrs NJ. r. EN-

THE STEAMSHIP LINDSAY.
Rev. Father Gribben Sues the Com
pany, Some Stockholders and the
Receiver.

In an action by J. J. Gribben
against the Rupert Steamship COM
pany and several of the stockholders
of the corporation, the plaintiff ap-
peared by his attorneys, Million &
Houser and George Friend Of Seattle,
and obtained the consent of the court
to make W. r. Macfarlane, the receiv-
er, party defendant.
Father Gribben brought his suit be-
fore the action for the appointment of
receiver was commenced and he
asks the return of his money on a
purchase of $3.50 of the stock of the
corporation.
The plaintiff alleges in this action
that he was induced to purchase the
stock on false representations that
West & Slade were taking $4,000
worth of stock and that William
Mack and other business men Of Alb
erdeen were subscribers. He alleges
that several of those represented to
be purchasers were not so in fact,
especially West & Slade, and that the
funds Of the company were wantonly
and recklessly squandered in the pur-
chase of the vessel G. Lindsay.

THE WATER SITUATION.
South Aberdeen Extension Nearing
Completion-Numerou Improve
ments Under Contemplation.

After nearly a year and a half OF
have an appearance of being able to
supply the demand this summer with
out the annoying shortage to which
the people of Aberdeen had in a way
become accustomed. The South Alb
erdeen system is progressing rapidly
and is expected to be pumping water
in about six weeks.
This extension, according to Super
intendent of Public Works McDou-
gal will cost when completed, includ-
ing land and right of way, about
$27,250. About $13, 200 has already
been expended upon it, and he ex-
poets $4,000 more will complete it,
the land and right of way having cost
$9,250. Thirty men are now employ
ed in laying the pipe line, under di-
rection of Mr.. McDougal
The new 5-inch pipe line on Ter
race avenue is in working order. and
a fire hydrant placed near the High
school, and the pressure in that To-
cality greatly improved. The North
Aberdeen extension will be completed
in about a week.
With the operation of the South
Aberdeen system, the leakage in
crossing the Chehalis river will be
stopped, which will permit better
pressure on the north side, so that
the service in the hill districts should
be greatly improved by the time dry
weather sets in.
Plans are being perfected to put
the entire system on a better basis
and to insure plentiful water sup
ply at a minimum cost. An election
will be called to refund the water
bonds and increase the issue, and
build storage reservoirs on high
ground. With sufficient storage ca
pacity, the present cost of $4,000
per month for pumping can be great
ly reduced. An electric pump of
large capacity can be installed that
would pump plenty of water in 10
or IL hours. BY running this pump
at night, low power rate can be had
from the electric company, and a
large saving effected.

Which SHALL IT Be?
QUALIFICATIONS OF BRYAN and
TAFT Considered.
The People Must Choose Between
Them in November. Both Good
Men in Their WAYS, But the peO.
pie knOw Where Bryan Stands on
All issues.

The reactionary factions in the
prominent parties have exhausted
their resources without having af.
fected the swing of public sentiment
in favor of Bryan and Taft as the
opposing candidates. 1t seems GER
tain now that the American people
must make their choice between these
two men.
The question now is: Which shall
it be?
Each man is large, physically and
mentally. Each has had long and ac-
tive experience in politics and states
manship. Their personal characters
so far as the public has been in
formed, are above reproach; each in
his home life stands as model for
husbands and fathers.
If this, and this alone, should be
the test, the whole choice would
hinge on the uncertain whim of in
dividual choice, or the strenuousness
OF political activity. But there does
not rest the choice. Rather, it rests
upon that for which these men stand.
AS a man thinketh in his heart, so
is he.''
What do these men think in their
hearts? Which was it that said,
God never made one man good
enough to own another man." Which
was it, that, without means or finan-
cial support, stOrmed the ramparts of
an Eastern money oligarchy and drew
the attention of the sleeping masses
to their danger? Who was it that,
in season and out of season, demand
ed laws to curb the gigantic trusts /?
Whose voice has, for more than
twelve years, been heard demanding
the restriction of iniunctional power,
shorter hours for labor, postal saw
ings banks, the parcels post and other
just laws and governmental improve
ments? Who was it, despite the
jeers and ridicule of a doubling ma
Jorlty, pointed out the abuses Of the
ruling party until republican pres
ident, convinced of the truth and wis
dom of these warnings, has made
himself the idol of the people by
adopting the suggestions made?
"As man thinketh in his heart,
so is he" What shall the choice be,
a certainty or possibility?
Has Mr.. Taft. in any speech or Of
fetal declaration, shown that in his
heart he thinketh the things which
Mr.. Bryan made the gospel of liberty
those very things that have given
Mr.. Roosevelt his great popularity?
No!-Washington Democrat.
