This fervent declaration of princi-

title to any dinner rendered to him
either by the Iroquois Club or other
democratic organization. Evidently
the democrats did better in the cleo
tion last fall than we thought; for.
in addition to the gains already emu
merated they carried the office of
secretary of war as we'll. This is en-
courag ging; and we are waiting for
further confessions of democratic
faith from members of Mr.. Taft's cab.

Possibly Philander C. Knox is an
other democrat who believes in DEM

the habit of voting the ticket. We
shall not he greatly astonished now
to hear Frank II. Hitchcock announce
that it was his unalterable belief in
the traditions of the democratic par
ty which induced him to accept the
Craftsmanship of the republican ma

voters in the republican party and
consequently greater opportunity for
inspired missionary work.
Perhaps it is the inherent democ-

him look so longingly at the elector-

ways by which IL could be made
more effective in furthering the doc

SEALED VERDICT
 WILL BE OPENED

Cincinnati. May 6.--In his argument before the jury today in the Odell buck ct shop case, in the United District court, Assistant United States District Attorney Moulintier declared Louis Fos- ter, John M. German and the four other defendants had started in business under the name of the Odell Brokerage company october 25. 1907, with practi- cally no capital, and that in the course of a few months they got from under it with thousands of dollars. At the time they represented they had s250, 900 cap ital. They actually owed S206,0 900. United States bonds for SIP, ,66O, he said, mysteriously disappeared. Anyone who did business in the way the accused did transacted business on a fraudu- lent basis" he said. because they in duced the public to entrust money with them, well knowing that there would be an explosion some time, and that tn e investors would be left holding the bag They footed the business and tn en made an assignment"
 To conduct their business they had used the mails. and they were, there fore, he said, guilty as alleged of using the mails to defraud
 After being out more than ten hours, and after having been instructed by the court to resume consideration tomor- row tne jury in the so-called bucke ct shop cases returned sealed verdict at l o'clock this morning to Federal Judge Th ompson.
 It will be opened and read when court opens this morning.

CONFESSIONS OF THE NIGHT..RIDERS

Waverly, Tenn. May 6-Edward Stan witness examined today in the night rider trial. He remembered seeing nearly all of the night riders on trial at various meetings of the clan. The night riders grip was to clasp hands and touch the pulse at the wrist with the fore finger.
 Sheriff o Barr testified that Grady Ash ley and Sam Dlckerson came to him to make a confession. They were taken be- fore General Bowman. Dickerson stated that he was the one that whipped Justice Reese but hated to do it, but he had been voted to this task. Violators were not promised any immunity for confessing.
 w. F. Warren, formerly of Perry county, Cripple Creek district, who appeared against Will Fortner last night states he took a copy of the oath of the night riders of Perry county from Fortner and was to bring it to Tad Smith of this county. Instead of surrendering it to Smith he placed it in a bagging powder cup and buried it, and it remained buried until taken up and given to the attorney general yesterday. He also turned over to the state the mask, or cap, he wore in Perry county
 Warren was allowed to tell that at the Blue f1ole prluBe IneetlnB III tIii5 county he heard the argument reached that all night riders were to keep mum so as to stay out of court until the trouble died down. This was the general meeting of Perry and Humphreys county night riders since January, when 1t is alleged plans were to be laid down toward indictments and secure the release of members if ar rested.
 Rose Swan, confessed night rider, de- tailed the proceedings of all the meetings of the night riders. He helped to cut the telephone wires on the night of the Reese raid. He was detailed 70 do the work.

THE INDECENT STAGE.
Its Perpetuity Is Up to the American
 Public.

Under the title of "The Indecent Stage Samuel Hopkins Adams calls attention. in the May American Magazine to the grow ing immoral tendencies of our theatres. He states that during certain period this winter in New York, one fifth of all the theatrical offerings were of dubious char acter. No alleviation of such a state of affairs can be hoped for from the man. agers. MT. Adams says:
 'In the last analysis the public will de- eide whether or not the iust-drama is to stay. From the managers there is noth- Ing to hope. They are not in the business for their own physical or the publics moral health. Said one of them to a dramatic critic whom he met coming out of the theatre
 "What do you think of it?'
 Personally or professionally? coun- tered the other.
 Oh. personality
 "I think said the critic after some consideration, that I'd hate to have taken a woman to see it.
 " 'Hmm-m, ruminated the theatrical man from the creases of his chin.
 Perhaps you don't like my frankness, suggested the critic.
 Like it! My dear fellow, if wasn't so decent I'd have 1t on the bill boards by tomorrow
 '"There, within the compass of phrase, is the latitude of the man (there are some honorable exceptions) who put on our drama, well the experts estimate of his public. Whether the public will live down to this estimate is by no means certain. simply because 1t paid $14 per seat for the opening night of a farce that had been suppressed elsewhere This must be but wave of prurient sensation alism, of vapid immortality, which will re- cede Against this hopeful possibility however. is the evidence of big profits reaped by every improper production of the season. Evidently a certain >consld- erable portion of the populace demands productions that win sate its lower appe- tites. Is it practicable to check this? :? Would censorship do 1t? Consider the potentialities of the censor method under our system of political appointments: The Hon. Tim Sullivan, for example, as the arblter of what should and what should not hold the boards in New York. And there would be, always. this peril in cen sorship; that 1t would maintain arbitrary and cramping restrictions, and crush out the legitimate and honest revolt against the artificial standards of extreme Puri- tanism. Public opinion, perhaps will be the final arblter. But public opinion Is 1 by turns, hystercal and inert. And, in the long run like it or not, we Americans shall get in amusement as in politics, not what we really want, but what we are negligently willing to tolerate

INJUNCTION IS
 KEPT IN FORCE
Judge McPhersen Issues Order
 In Railroad Case
ATIOR aEY IS R STRAINED
Reservation Is Made in the Order That Supplemental Orders May Be Issued Against Other Per
 sons if Necessary.

Kansas City. May 6.-Judge Smith Mo- Pherson, in the federal court here today, continued in Force the temporary in- Junction recently granted by Judge John F. Philips, restraining Siebert Jones. cir cult attorney of St. Louis, from prose- cutting the suit filed by him in the circuit court of that city, seeking to restrain the railroads of Missouri from charging a scent passenger rate. No other state officers are included in the injunction or der. which is to remain in force until differently ordered by this court
 The order contained the reservation, however, that supplemental orders might be issued against other persons should subsequent events demand such action
 Judge McPherson said the reason that the order did not include Attorney Gen eral Major and the members of the state railroad and warehouse commission was that they had stated under oath that they had not inspired or encouraged the St. Louis suit, and did not intend to have anything to do with it In the future.
 The order applies to "all attorneys, ser wants and employees" of Circuit Attorney
 
 Kenneth and Rush Lake, former as sistant attorney general of Missouri.
 The principal arguments today were made by Jeptha Howe of St Louis for the state. and by Frank Hagerman of Kansas City for the railroads Mr Howe argued that the suit brought by the st. Louis circuit court was justified by the fact that the railroads of Missouri had agreed to conspiracy to fix rates" The subject matter of that suit, he said, was entirely different from that contained in the suits which had been considered by the federal court
 John Flemish, former assistant attor- ney general of Missouri who, with Rush Lake. also a former assistant attorney general of the state, is cited by the com plainants as being in contempt because of their participation in the St Louis suit argued at length in defense of Mir Jones, MT. Lake and himself. He said the railroads accepted the Jurisdiction of the state courts until they got an adverse ruling and then rushed into the federal courts for protection.
 This court in it's decree went beyond what it was asked to do," exclaimed Mir Kennish. The decree says 1t is not the function of the court to fix rates and it also states that 21s cents is a reasonable rate. By declaring that 21s cents is a reasonable rate. the court says a Scent rate is an unreasonable rate. Therefore, l contend that Scent rate Is illegal even by the decree of this court"
 MT. Kennish said that friction among the counsel of the railroads was respon- sble for the continuation of the rate litigation. T know" said MT. Kennish, that Judge Spencer, MT. Hagerman and the representatives of some of the other leading railroads would have been willing to adopt a 21ec rate some time ago. but a few of the other attorneys objected"

 That they are good farmers is evident from the way they are extending their landed propretorship.

Bread That lntoxlcates.

 Throughout the eastern part of Siberia 1t is no extraordinary sight to see peas ants in the hilarious stages of intoxica- ton, brought on by eating bread. In the region between the sea and the river called Missouri the humidity of the cll- mate as well the soil is remarkable In many parts the humidity is so intense that there grows upon ears of corn a spe- eies of fungus. As result of this, the bread made from the corn gives all the results of an overdose of alcohol Whole districts are sometimes inebriated by this Btrange Kind of "aleohollc bread"
