tion2. How many men, with nothing
lat stake but principle, would wage
political warfare against the Duncan
Coopers OF our cities and states, If
the Duncan Coopers should be justi-
fed in killing them after due notice
In writing?
We have the attorneys for the de-
Tense, not the prosecution, to thank
for bringing out the vital point at
stake in this contest. We had rather
inclined to the view that the
prosecution has been playing on the
emotions of the hysterical element of
the temperance forces in Tennessee
to concoct a plot TO assassinate, and
thereby. We think the states case was
greatly weakened.
We think that Carmack was not
killed because he stood for statewide
prohibition during the last campaign
Of his life; for Mr.. CaImack was not
so red hot for prohibition when that
became the Republican slogan in Ten
nessee. and his own party took up
the other side of the issue. He was
better Democrat than he was a
prohibitionist. We do not believe he
was put out of the way, because he
was a thorn in the flesh of the ad-
ministration. The administration
had defeated him at the polls. We
do think he was murdered. be-
cause there is cherished in the
hearts of the people the 'unwritten
law" that when a man does or says
a certain thing, one Is, not only just
flied in killing him, but Is less than
a man for not killing him. That law
Is construed by the court, which tries
the individual, and execution is in
accordance with the courts decree. |

CITIZEN OF CANADA PAYS VISIT
TO HOPKINsyILLE.
His Admiration Aroused by I'lucky
Fight of the Soldier ON the
Night Riders.

Hopklnsville. March IL The
fame OF Col. Z. b. Bassett resulting
from his unceaslng fight against night
riders. has penetrated even TO Can
ada. as was shown yesterday when
Horace Tate. resident of the domln-
ion. entered the store and asked for
the doughty military leader. He
stated that from the first he had kept
up with developments In Kentucky
and had been especially attracted by
Col. Bassett's uncompromising and
brave stand. Only recently he read
a magazine article which further IN
creased his admiration for Col. Bas-
sett. and being in this part of the
state he made a trip to Hopklnsville
just for the purpose OF meeting him.
In this he failed. however. for Col.
Bassett is now in New York purchas-
ing his spring stock OF dry goods. Mr..
Tate was very much disappointed IN
not meeting the gallant officer and
seemed rather surprised to find him
engaged in such a prosaic business as
selling dry goods and that his bust
ness in New York was for no other
purpose than to buy new goods. He
bought an umbrella, a shirt and a
tie before leaving the store and left
many messages with the clerks for
Col. Bassett. lie also left a souvenir
postal card showing the Central fire
station on which he asked that Col.
Bassett write him some message and
Sign his name so that he might at
least keep II as souvenir of his visit.

DUNCAN COOPER AND THE UN-
WRITTEN LAW

A. WIKI EN- LAW.
II attorneys for, Duncan Cooper
mean that the ''unwritten law" was
responsible for the murder of Ed
Carmack, they are right. As long as
the late Mr. Carmack is to be consld-
cred the martyr to all the causes
which the exigencies of Tonnes
see Democratic politics compelled
him to advocate, why cannot he be
martyr TO that iniquituousa statute,
written In blood across a century of
the nations history? Is II too much
to hope that his death may hasten the
speedy repeal of that "unwritten
law" in the hearts of the people?
The "unwritten law, unfortunate
ly is partially written. Tennessee
has court decisions, which say in eff
feet that when a man has made a
threat against the life of another,
that other is justified in shooting
him down; and the state also boasts
an unique chip pocket defense,
which has proven its popularity in
many a travesty enacted In the court
houses of that grand old common
wealth.
The "unwritten law, itself. is a
popular and generally accepted fal-
lacy that under certain circumstances
the individual Is justified in taking
the law into his own hands, and right
ing his own wrongs. which are
usually fanciful. This law is given
its force by the sentiment behind IT,
that not to do so IL unmanly.
Now. IL that state Of affairs applied
only to decent, respectable, law-abtd-
ing folks, 1t would be practically
harmless. They don't kill one an
other; nor do they eve occasion for
such outbreaks. But 1t is just such
fellows as Duncan Cooper, who take
advantage Of the sentiment to wreak
vengeance or remove an obstacle.
Duncan Cooper is a politician and a
very bad one. II he were not, he
would not be so close to Governor
Patterson. Edward Carmack was ed
itor of a paper. opposed to the Gov
ernor Patterson. Duncan Cooper
stripped himself Of the protection OF
private citizenship, when he became
the ruling factor in Patterson's adj
ministration- II HIS hide was not
thick enough to take what every man
gets when he goes into politics as a
business. he should have retired to
that private citizenship, which he in
Vokes to Justify his threat against
tic iffo OF Carmack
There is a law to protect a man in
his right to safety OF his reputation,
as well as OF his life, property and
the pursuit of happiness. To that
law Duncan Cooper should have
turned. IL he found himself unjustly
assailed. No editor is likely to lam
pcon a citizen. who is not actively
engaged in some political or public
capacity.
Cooper's attorneys think he should
be protected against the attacks of
the press. What about the other side
OF the question? What about the
Safeguarding OF the free pres?
How better can a free press be
muzzled than by fear Of assassina-

HUSBAND LAID MURDER pLol.

Chicago, March 11.-A complete
surprise was sprung on the defense II
the trial of Luman G. Mann. charged
with murder last July of Mrs Fran
ces Gilmore Thompson, when the
state called to the witness stand Mrs.
Maude Shanks. the divorced wife az
Mann, and whom 1t was alleged had
been spirited away to New York by
agents of the defense and held there
in order to prevent her appearance
as witness against her husband.
AS she stepped inside OF the en-
closure on her way to the witness
stand the defendant rose to his feet.
apparently greatly excited, and made
a move as II to seize the woman by
the arm. She. however, paid no at
tention TO him.
On direct examination the witness
told OF meeting her former husba nd
at amusement resort on the evening"
of June 81. "He told" said she. "he
had a woman who was dead in love
with him and who had lots Of money
and diamonds and that he was going
to get her diamonds II he had %
choke her to do it,"
The witness was shown the regis
ter OF the Michigan avenue rooming
house, in which the murder was COM
mitted. and declared the name -. II.
Raymond and wife" to be the writ
ing of her former husband.
Mrs. Maude Shanks has made an
affidavit to the states attorney giving
the details OF plot by which she
was abducted and taken to New York
so that she could not testify in this
trial. II is said that she was taken
to New York by the agent OF the de-
tense and given 500 before she left
Chicago and $3.50 a week while she
remained in New York.
Arrests probably will grow out Of
this revelation. trHa

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN


Travelling men have life that is
not what il is said to be. Especially
does this come true when eating in
some OF the restaurants in out of the
way places. Yesterday a travelling
man was eating his dinner in a res
taurant down in the city. when a
steak. not the tenderest, was brought
to him. Instantly 1t recalled an ex-
perience he had in a restaurant in
the north. This man had been a reg
ular customer for several years. and
one day he was given an unusually
tough piece of steak. In vain did
the man try TO cut 1t, and when on
the verge Of exhaustion he appealed
to the proprietor. Honest, Ike. this
steak is so tough / cannot cut it with
a knife"

ton as he prepared to receive a ten
