As A HORSE TRADER

Bryan is emulating the example
of Eben Holden, who has gained
more or less of a reputation as
horse trader. And he has travel
ed all over the United States,
Europe and Asia to find in Little
Rock the horse that he has been
looking for all these years.
He was being driven in an
auto to the High School yester-
day morning, to address the
pupils, and his attention was at
tracted by the gait of a beauti-
full horse that was being ridden
along the same street by Ben
McGehee, one of the well-known
young men of the city. After
watching the horses movements
for time, Bryan had the chauf-
feur stop the car. and signaled to
Mr.. McGehee that he wished to
speak with him.
Mr.. McGekee, who had, of
course, recognized the Great
Commoner, wondered why he
should be thus honored, and re-
spectfully came to halt.
Il want to buy that horse, y
said Mr.. Bryan. Il have the
exact duplicate of him, in color,
gait and build, and l want to
buy him.
Mr.. McGehee explained that
he did not want to sell the horse,
as he had just purchased him,
and was trying him out.
Bryan asked how much he had
paid for him, and was told 5000.
The owner, however, would not
sell the animal, even to the great
est private citizen of the world,
but gave him his name and then
they parted company.
But Bryan, whom three defeats
for the presidency has not daunt-
ed, was not SO easily put off, and
again this morning telephoned
Mr.. McGehee if he had decided
TO sell. He also commissioned q
prominent horsedealer to pur-
chase the horse, and negotiations
ars still on. Mr.. McGehee has
a greed that he will take $500 fol
the animal. - Arkansas Dem.

-FOUR LYNCHED
IN OKLAHOMA
Mob Met Quietly, Marched
To The Jail And Forced
The Doors Best People
Composed Mob.

Durant, Okla. April 19. -Four
men were taken from the Jail at
Ada by a mob at an early hour
this morning and lynched. But
very little is known, or at least
little is divulged, regarding the
formation, the place of meeting,
or the personnel of the mob, and
almost equally as little regarding
their operations, further than that
they accomplished their mission
in the quietest manner possible.
The men upon whom the mob
vented it's rage were ]. P.Miller,
of near Ada; Joe Allen. of New
Mexico; Jesse West, of the same
locality, and B. B. Burrell, of Ft.
Worth. The three latter were
wealthy cattlemen, reputed by
some to be worth 81, 600, 600 each.
The mob, consisting of about
forty masked men, went to the
jail at midnight where they sur
prised and overpowered the two
guards. From the guards t''ey
got the keys to the jail and secur-
ed possession of the prisoners.
The victims were led to a barn a
short distance from the Jail. No
one witnessed the lynching ex-
cept members of the mob, and
no one saw the mob except the
two guards.
The lynching was the result OF
the assassination Of Gus Bobbit.
The killing occurred several
months ago, and it is said to have
been caused by trouble of long
standing. Bobbit was shot while
en- route from Ada to his home,
his assassin passed him in the
road and firing both barrels OF a
shot gun at him.

The term in the pen is likely to be
the best thing that ever happen
ed to that young fellow. The
state has given him a start in
life.
Of course the penitentiary
under that system would not
make the financial showing that
it makes, but the object Of a
penitentiary is not to make mon
ey or at any rate that ought not
to be the object. The Jewett bill
was an advanced measure. The
next legislature or some subse-
quent legislature is going to en-
act the Jewett plan into law. In
addition to that the present plan
of procedure in criminal cases
ought to be changed as we have
before suggested.
First offences unless the crime
is particularly heinous ought to
be dealt with leniently. If the
man got into the prison the
second time we should still give
him a chance. If he goes in the
third time we should just about
make it three times and in for
good with him.
There are men in the Kansas
state penitentiary and in the
prisons of other states who have
been sent up not only three times
but half dozen times and II
they are turned out it will only

SHOULD THE STATE PAY C0NVICIS?

Ono OF the DllIS 1nCrOuuceu ny
eX-Warden JeEett in the last
legislature, but which failed to
get to the statute books was a
law praviding that the state
should pay wages to the convicts
in the penitentiary. The convicts
would not be given the privilege
of spending the wages so paid by
the state, but the wages might
20 to the support of his family
if he had one or in lieu of that
they would be saved for him un-
til his term expired and then
given to him in a lump.
This looks like radical de-
parture from he ol. method and
it is not to be wondered at that
the legislators hesitated about
enacting such a law. Neverthe-
less we are of the opinion that
Mr.. Jewett's bill was based on
a correct economic as we'll as hui
manitarian principal.
One of the objections urged
against prison labor by labor
unions has been that it is not
fair for the state to put unpaid
convict labor in competition with
free labor. There never has been
SO much in the contention as was
claimed, for the reason that con-
victs labor cannot compete with
free labor. The av erage convict
will neither do as much or as
good work as the free laborer.
If he was first class workman
to begin with it is not very like
ly that he would be in the peni-
tentiary and even if he were a
first class workman in freedom
he is not apt to do as good work
or as much as a convict.
However it ought not to be the
object of the state to injure the
free laborer in any way and there
is such force in the objection
made to prison labor, especially
to contracted labor. If the state
worked all Of it's prisoners and
paid them wages according to
what they are really able to and
do earn and cut out contract
labor entirely all the objection of
the unions would be met.
But the principal argument in
favor of the Jewett plan is that
it will be a real reformatory
measure. There are several
classes of men who manage to
get into the penitentiary and
they get there from all sorts of
causes. Same of them are men
who have made up their minds
to be criminals. The getting
into the penitentiary is regarded
by them as an unfortunate Incl
dent that is to be avoided in any
way possible except the one way
of becoming law abiding citizens.
but but if they do get in they
take their medicine. get all the
good time possible. work on the
sympathy of the governor if pos
sible and get a communication or a
pardon and get out only to engage
in crime again. There is little
if any hope of reforming that
class.
There are others who are de-
generates who will not improve
opportunities no matter when Of
fered. There is little hope for
convicts of that kind. There are
others however who have gotten
into trouble on account Yof igno-
rance and bad envirements who
are not naturally bad. What
they need is education and discip-
line.
Now suppose that when a man
of that kind, a young fellow,
