The Western Story

To say that the western story, as It cur
rently stalks is pssse passing would thrust
one into heated argument wherein it might
be charged. and perhaps truthfully, that the
wish was father to the thought. But to say
that the western story viii pass is perfectly
safe. II will pass Just surely as the myth
icaI heroes of the Iliad and the Odyssey have
passed into the archives of an effete classi-
cism.
in truth, the western story belongs properly
to the realm Of modern mythology, and, leav-
ing out Of consideration those who love fic-
tfon for fictions sake, including college stu
dents and IAnguid Lydias, it is the organ Of
a cult that worshps at the shrine Of the
desert, the ranch, and the western oagnio.
Almost anything goes in a western story.

cover IL with few rude structures consisting
mostly of saloons and dance halls, and you

The vote of 1904 was very misleading
indication of Socialist strength since il
comprised the votes of many thousands
of radical Democrats who were disguised
with the nomination of Judge Parker and
with the defeat in the national convention
Of the radical element of the party. But
the vote of 1908 was purely Socialistic, and
may be taken as an accurate measure Of
the present strength of the party in the
United States.
All the more remarkable this growth
seems because it has been made in the
face of intense and unremitting opposl-
ton from all the influential agencies In
the country-press. pulpit and public off,
GERS; it has not even the assistance of a
fair statement of socialism's object in the
public prints; and it has been obliged to
combat the full strength of the prejudice
to which have previously referred. No
other movement in our times has been
so fiercely denounced or has had against
it the weight of an official disapproval so
profound and effective. AS in Europe so
in America the ruling and wealthy classes
have looked upon socialism with inexpres-
sible adherence and upon a socialist as
an implacable enemy of the human race;
and with all the great means at their
command these classes have striven to
impress their views upon the commu-
nifty.
And what is, in fact this terrible mon
ster that thus causes the cheek of states
manship to pale and shake with terror so
many hearts of valor approved, upon the
battlefield and the hunting ground? Also
just what is this movement that in our
own times has arisen from nothing to
such a commanding position in the world?
What is this socialism that has won so
many millions in so many lands to its
support and continues day by day to
win others?
Two terrific propositions and no more,
to-wit:
l. All men are brethren. not merely
brethren in name but brethren in fact.
with a common blood, common destiny,
common interests, common cause. The
welfare Of one of us IS the brotherly con
Germ of all of us, and being brethren,
all war and strife and hatred should
cease
| 2 The things that men need in COM
mon should be owned in common and
supplied for the common good, not for
private profit; there should not be private
ownership and control of other universal
necessities any more than there is private
ownership of air.
That is all. Isn't II awful?

NIGHT RIDERS WARN
ATTORNEY GENERAL

WAVERLEY, Tenn, April 29.-The SEN
sation of the night rider situation here
today was a threatening letter received
by Attorney General Brown, from Clarks-
vile, Tenn, and signed by the Tennessee
and Ketucky Night Riders. The commu-
nication was very abusive and advised
that If the prosecutor for the state wanted
to live in peace that he had better keep
the soldiers always with him. The letter
stated that the writer, or possibly wri-
ters, would watch the attorney general
just to see how much of a hand he
would take. The closing words were:
Lookout, damn you, we are in this for
life"
AS this letter ana another. even more
threatening, came through the mail, the
subject no doubt will be taken up imme-
diately by Uncle Sam. The handwriting
of the two letters from GAINESVILLE are
the same and the wording is fair. Infor-
nation has come to Mr.. Bowman that the
letters are being investigated by some
one who has gone to the GAINESVILLE re-
gion from this section, believing that the
attempt at intimidation would be greater
coming from a stronger organized night
rider district. GAINESVILLE is in the judi
cial circuit to which General Bowman
belongs.
Inc session Oh the court adjourned this
morning before 8 o'clock until Monday
morning, but during the brief session
there was time for a passage at arms
betwee the court and lawyers for the de-
Tense. Objection was offered by Attor-
new W. c. Cherry to the order in the
minutes showing that a continuance had
been allowed in the case of the two men
who confessed yesterday.
Judge Cook, in dismissing the question,
said sharply, that he did not see by what
right counsel for the defense or any one
else could object to a defendant submit
ting his case.
