The Federal Grand Jury at Irvington,
Kentucky, has rendered indictments against
twelve alleged ''night-riders''

the boldest steps yet taken to-

We will watch the progress
If these men are proven guilty
of violating the provisions of
the interstate commerce law, or
some other Federal measure,
what will be done with them?
Will the Government issue a
polite little order to ''dissolve"
the "Night-Rider Trust" and
afix clause to the order
showing the night-riders how
to proceed with their enter
prise just the same as before?
Well, hardly. The list of names
of the men indicted mean as
little to the reader outside of
their particular locality as a
string of John Does and Rich
ard Roes. Therefore, they are
not 'prominent citizens in the
sense that the great calcium
light of publicity has been shed
upon their doings for 10! these
several decades. They are not
accustomed, we venture to pre-
sumo, to being asked to the
White House to consult with
the President and Attorney
General as to the best method
of controlling" their monop-
oily, or how to kill competition
without restraining trade" as
are the Morgans and Hills and
Rockefellers and other estima-
BILE gentlemen whose expert adj
vice is eagerly devoured by the
Cabinet clique, the Senatorial
powers.
No, Samantha, if these par
ticular twelve individuals have
been guilty of foul conspiracy
to defeat the ends of the To
bacco Trust, they will get it in
the neck, good and plenty.
Whenever the sinned-against
go after the sinners, it is all
up with the former. The law
and the precedent are invaria-
bly, that way. When a corpor-
alton defends itself by force of
arms against striking employ
ees, it can call to it's aid the
State and the Nation. When

It's the friends from home that

UNITED PARTY BEHIND LEg
cRUcE.

There viii be no difIijulty in getting
the democratic party behind the nomi-
nee, Hon. Lee Cruce, for governor in
the mastery campaign that the hosts
Of democracy will wage for the next
three months to keep the government
Of the state In the hands Of the people
and out from under the control Of the
special privileged class.
One Of the strongest elements in Mr..
Cruces success In securing the demo.
cratic nomination was the belief Of a
large number Of democrats that he
was the most available man to unite
all elements Of the party and to wage a
successful campaign. The Judgment
Of these men is to be borne out by
the campaign that is now to be inau.
gurated. Mr.. cruce with the kindly
spirit characteristic Of the man has
invited all democrats to rally to his
standard, and shown the breadth OF
his character by announcing that he
holds no malice in his heart for those
who were for other candidates against
him in the primary election.
Mr.. Cruce has the qualities OF a sue.
cessful candidate and all indications
point to a united party behind him.
Democrats who are made Of the
stern stuff do not get sore, because
they get rolled NV and then in
political bout It does not require a
great soul to be good fellow in vic
tory but the man who acquits himself
nobly In defeat shows character that
Is worthy of emulation.
Mr.. Cruces opponents for guberna-
torial honors will take the stump il
behalf OF the ticket. There will be a
general uprising of the people in be-
half Of his candidacy and you can de
pend upon it that the state Of Oklaho-
ma VIII take no backward step.
