GOVERNOR ADVISES KILLING
Shoot the lawless Raiders, Says
Wilson to Kentuckians.
Fight the Enemy With His Own Fire
is Advice to Independent Tobacco
Growers Against Night Riders.

Frankfort, Ky.-Fight the enemy
with his own fire is the method that
Governor Wilson advised the indie
pendent growers OIL tobacco in Ken
lucky to adopt in their struggles
against the Night Riders. Piles of
letters are stacked on his desk, the
Governor says, from tobacco growers
asking whether they must pool their
tobacco, or whether they will re-
ceive protection from the militia if
they do not pool it.
Organize liberty leagues and kill
the nocturnal invaders" is the advice
that the Governor gives. In a state
ment Governor Wilson says that no
man should pool his tobacco unless
he wants to, and that he will pardon
any man who resorts to arms to pro-
tect his home. The situation was
intense and the crisis for the indie
pendents or the organization men was
expected.
1t was declared in some quarters
that the statement given out will
mean the failure of the pool. The
Governor says in the statement:
You Will remember that | have
made public addresses to our people
asking them to defend their homes,
and assured them that if they did
defend their homes and were careful
not to make a mistake and kill D
innocent person, but simply necessary
defense Of their lives, liberty and
property, they would not need n
lawyer. l have never withdrawn that
proclamation. 1t Is my most serious
conviction of my duty. 1t was made
with full knowledge of its serious
character. and 1t is my set purpose to
keep the faith under that proelama-
.tion.
If mems interest in a business
plan to form a combination to raise
the price on their crops, which is en-
tirely proper and wise, if lawfully
carried on, is SO great that they will
form a pool that falls into lawless-
ness why should not self-respecting,
free Kentuckians form a liberty or
freedom pool, a thousand times more
serious and earnest than any pool for
money profit, and why should they
not fight for their liberties when the
law is behind them, and the State
government is with them?"

A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR.. G. A. JOHNSTON ROSS
Theme: Gods Second Best.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-The Rev. G. A.
Johnston Ross, D. D., preached Sun
day in the Lafayette Avenue Presby-
terrain Church. DR.. Ross, who was
until recently the minister at ST. Co
lonba's Church in Cambridge, Eng
land, a church largely attended by
university men, has accepted the pas
torate of the fashionable Presbyterian
Church at Bryn Mawr, near Philadel-
phia. DR.. Ross spoke on Gods Sec
ond Best" from the following text: /.
Samuel %: For the LORD will not
forsake His people for His great
names sake because it hath pleased
the Lord to make you His people.
Moreover as for me, God forbid that
/ should sin against the Lord in ceas-
ing to pray for you; but l will teach
you the good and the right way. Only
fear the Lord and serve Him in truth
with all your heart; for consider how
great things He hath done for you.
But If We shall still do wickedly, We
shall be consumed, both you and your
King" He said:
If a man has blundered and played
the fool in the management of his
life, missing his chances and throw
ing foulness about his spirit, how far
may that man, if anxious to do well,
look for the recovery of lost ground
and the ~renewalof opportunity? That
is the question which l purpose to
deal with tonight. OF course the
unteachable fool must simply look
forward to certain ruin, but / am
thinking of a man anxious to redeem
his life, and the question l want to
discuss is this; Is there for such a
man a second chance? For all l
know such a mar may have come into
this church tonight; and how long
he may have been worried with this
he may have tried to get light upon
it, God alone knows. But if there is
a second chance for the man it is tre-
mendously important that the man
should know it's nature and extent.
If a man has been depressed by fail
ure and is really ashamed of his fool
ishness he has almost a right to be
made aware of the existence of the
process of divine repair, if such a
process really exists. And it is equal
ly important that he should under
stand the Limitation of such a process
of divine repair for salvation, lest he
should be too tempted to count upon
divine indulgence, which does not, as
a matter of fact, exist, or else he
should be tempted to count upon the
proyidential bordering of his life,
which will not take place.

Leading the military forces of the
United States came the boys the
crowd always loves all the time-the
West Point Cadets. New York City
has seen them so often it might have
grown used to the splendid marching
of the future officers of its Army, but
the sight never pals, and the cadets
never made a drawer showing, nor re-
ceived a more ~uproarious welcome.
Detachments of cavalry, artillery and
infantry, regulars, militiamen and
volunteers to the number of 10000
made up the rest of the parade.
The crowds along the line of march
and in the adjoining streets furnished
in themselves one of the memorable
features of the parade. The police
admitted that they never before had
been called upon to handle such
throngs, but previous lessons proved
to have been learned well and there
was far less confusion and dangerous
congestion than I've before. The
field ambulances that had been in
stalled at numerous points were ad-
mirably conducted and all who re-
quired relief were attended to
promptly.
The grandstands were crowded, but
there was complaint at the prices
charged. In spite of the efforts that
had been made to prevent it, thou
sands of tickets fell into the hands of
SPECTATORS, who not only asked for
SIS to $40 for an ordinary seat, but
often were insultingly persistent in
trying to force their sales. Seats in
windows sold rapidly, and though lit

divisions. First marched the sailors

Not less than 2,25e,00o persons
