Union CITY, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Ed
Marshall, under indictment for the
murder of Capt. Quentin Rankin at
Walnutlog on the night of Oceober
10, took the witness stand in his own
behalf and for three hours told of his
connection with the night riders. ad-
hitting being present when the band
committed this crime, and making
a plea for mercy ON the ground that
he urged the night riders not to hang
Rankin OF even whip him and Col
Taylor. His story was dramatic
narrative OF events that have already
been brought out in this trial and in
the trial of the eight men who have
already been convicted. He said that
he was forced to join the organ.za-
ton for fear of being killed, and that
he went 30 their meetings under COM
pirlsion, but never was present at any
OF the whippings or other outrages
that were committed by the band
prior to the Wainutlcg assassination.

Regardless OF the merits Of the
present controversy over the posses
sion of market house stall, the
board of public works is doing night
in prefering bona fide market garden
ers to fruit dealers. The city did not
build a market house for vendors OF
imported frufts and produce, but as a
meeting place of the farmers and The
housekeepers. There are fruit deal
ers. who pay rent for store rooms on
Broadway and 1t is not fair to them
to lease market stalls to their COM

acting the measure. Inherent defects
In the ordinance itself, and not lack
OF authority over the subject matter,
was at fault. There Is no doubt that
cities have the right TO regulate and
prohibit tire storage of dangerous
substapces. Every other city we ever

COME, LET US REASON TOGETHER

This appeal is made to the plain, average citizen of
peur dAIene who wants to this city grow and be-
me city of 10000 people in the next FIVE
BARS.
Can this result be accomplished by building a wall
ound Occur d'Alene and bidding only for a class of
dsts and fantaics7
Or must we take down the walls bid for all classes
ople who drink and people who do not drink the men
money and the men who labor, the home builder and
men who will engage in productive industries? The
Pn who are clamoring for prohibition would put wall
ound Coeur Alene and bid only for those of their own
ss The liberal and progressive citizen who wants to
Occur dAlene grow would bid for all classes barring
me- OF whatever shade of belief belief except Of
arse, the criminal class.
one OF the main objections to this prohibition agita
IN is that it is turning back the hands on the dial Of
worlds progress. Prohibitionsts would place Occur
Alene IN the list of narrow provineiasm the pro-
essye element of the city would place her in the cos
ppolltan class. They would have her like New York
Boston and Milwaukee, like Berlin and Paris and
ndon The arguments of the narrow and bigoted pro-
itioniss are the laughing stock of European peone
eur q Aene should be cosmopolitan city not class
anlzed borough. Can Occur d'Aene be made a great
by catering to narrow and bigoted class? Those
10 think not, will vote no, with big NO against pro
bition next Wednesday.
ANY man having acquaintance with general con-
lons no argument is necessary to convince him that
ohlbOn will deal fatal blow to the growth If Coonr
Aene Even the agitation of the prohibition craze has
ready injured it beyond estimate The very posssi
ty that there enough emotional people in Coeur

practcay universal experience of past years and Of
Aes whose records are well known that prohibition
ereVer tried has proven shameful failure has checked
