There have been few legal eases in
the history of the couatry, that were Of
as vital Importance To any given sec
ton, and aroused more intense inter
est throughout the entire country than
the ReelfOOt night rider case, in which
Captain Rankin was murdered in
cold blood. Up until this time it had
been impossible to secure the COnvic-
ton of any night rider, and this law
less organization had become so bold
and defiant as to become menace,
not only to large portion of Tennes-
see, but to a number of the other
southern states as well. At last the
good people of Tennessee declared
they would break up this notorious
organization, even if it took the en-
tire power of the state. And this
power it did take, Coy. Patterson
himself going to the scene of the
crime a. the head of a large force of
militia, to protect the authorities and
the court during the trial. After
months OF sitting Of evidence, eight
night riders were convicted by over
whelmipg evidence, and sentenced to
death, This conviction was apparent
ly the death knell to night riding in
the south, order was restored and
people of the entire country rejoced
in the fact that a large section of the
country was freed from q system OF
brigandage that would have been
more appropriate in the thirteenth
century than at this time The case
was carried to the supreme court and
that august institution now hands
down decision annulling the action
OF the lower court, and remands the
case for re-trial, not because they be.
lieved the convicted parties innocent,
but because of the omission of some
slight technicality in the legal formu.
lie through which the case was
brought. While the courts of our
country have, and in the main, merit
the profound respect of the masses.
yet such decisions as this, that plac.
es trivial technicalities above com.
mon justice and sustains crime and
criminals because of slight technical
errors, will engender such distrust
of our conrts that in time they will
come to be as thoroughly distrusted

The brewers Of Texas, are out with
challenge to the prOhihltlonlSts OF
the state, to put up 500, 600 for pub
lie charities, in case they do not prove
that prohibition does not prohibit and
that there is more liqnor consumed in
the sO-caIled "dryn territory than
there is in open or ''wet' territory,
the test to be made by commission
to be appointed by the brewers and
prohibitions composed of three
men each. who will visit all sections
Of the country and report on their
findings. This looks like a very phil
anthropic proposition on the face OF
it, but no thinking man will believe
for d minute that the brewers would
have any kick coming against pro-
hibtion, if they really thought they
we're selling more goods in Drohibi-
bition territory than they did in SINH
lar territory under the license system.

Eminent Chicago Actor Talks on 1.-THE
Players Calling"
Mr.. Donald Robertson, the we'll
known Chicago actor, who makes his
third appearance Of the season in this
city at the Odeon tonight, addressed
the students of the high school at the
study room this afternoon.
Mr.. Robertson talked on "The Play
ers Calling" and held the closest att
tention of his large audience of young
people from first to last. Mr. Robertson
has made name for himself by pro-
noting art for arts sake, and this was
the basis of his theme before the stu
dents He appealed to the young peo-
pie for a better understanding and APP
probation of the artistic in the drama,
as against the more trivial and lighter
plays characterized as amusements
"Amusements," Mr.. Robertson said,
"have the same effect on man as does
alcohol; a bigger dose is required con-
tinually in order to have any effect"
Mr.. Robertson said that one can not
buy or sell art, for art is holy. He
characterized the majority of people
lon the stage as fools acting out fool
ish parts.
