BAD NEGRO KILLED BY
OFFICERS At SUTTON
Had Robbed Two Negroes at College,
Drew Gun on officer Lusk and
Shot Freight Conductor.

The biggest thrill of excitement
Bryan has known in some time was
Experienced about II o'clock this
morning when a dead negro was
brought in on a southbourd freight
train, having met his Waterloo at Sut-
ton short time before. The negro
had been on a regular rampage since
last night, and was cutting a wide
swath until the officers suddenly and
quickly put period in his wild career.
The negro was named Joe Brown,
was from one of the large plantations
in the bottom, coming originally from
Louisiana. He is said TO have been
half Indian and half negro. The story
leading up to his untimely taking off is
about as follows:
He was at College Station last night,
and, it is said, held up two other ne.
groes there, relieving them of a sum
of money. Shortly afterward the bad
man boarded the northbound Houston
and Texas Central passenger due here
at 1920 a. m. and the two negro vic
tins followed him. Arriving here they
stepped off and informed Officer Lusk,
who was at the station. Mr.. Lusk went
in the car, but the bad negro got the
drop on him and at a pistols point
forced him to back out of the car. Mr..
Lusk rushed back into the car and the
negro escaped in the darkness.
Sheriff Conlee was notified and he
and Mr. Lusk boarded the engine of
freight train and went to Benchley,
where a search was made for the ne.
gro, but he was not found. They then
returned to Bryan on a freight train
and the crew of this train informed
them they had seen negro walking
along the track just north of Benchley.
In the meantime, as the negro was
leaving Bryan and just beyond the oil
mill, freight train passed him and
he fired into the caboose, striking Con-
ductor Virgins in the wrist, inflicting
a painful wound.
When Officers Conlee and Lusk got
back to Bryan they held consultation
and decided to go to Hearne on the
northbound Owl, which was late. Ar
irving at Hearne they enlisted the
services of Officers Griffin and Brown,
and all secured horses and rode back
to Sutton. There they secreted them
selves behind stack of wood to wait
for the bad negro. They did not have
long to wait, and when he came Sher-
iff Conlee stepped out and commanded |
him to throw up his hands. Instead
of complying, he reached for his gun,
when the Sheriff and another member
of the posse fired on him, killing him
The body was placed on a freight
train and brought here by the officers
about II o'clock, and placed on the
depot platform where it was viewed |
by hundreds. 1t was later carried to
the Jail and was the center OF attrac-
ton all the afternoon.
The Eagle has not been advised as
to what disposition will be made of it.
1t is unfortunate that our brave
officers are forced to do things of this
kind, but sometimes it is necessary
that the majesty of the law may be
upheld and the peace and dignity of
the State preserved. |

These officers contend that when they take
charge and declare martial law, there isn't
any other kind of law; they say they make
their own law, as in time of actual war
The evidence showed that they caused
hundreds of arbitrary arrests, that the
accused citizens were tried III private. by the
officers themselves, and that, in some cases,
the defendants would be on their way to the
penitentiary before they knew they had been
found guilty.
Seventeen of such victims, all with their
heads shaved, were found in one batch, serv-
ing out terms in the penitentiary.
We have had a taste of the same thing in
the State Of Georgia, and there are indica-
lions that our military officers will beseige
the Legislature for additional powers.
This military spirit is a most dangerous
one; the entire education and point of view
Of the officer inclines him toward despotism.
Any effort on his part to influence the
Legislature into changing our law in way
that will encourage military murder, should
be sternly combatted
Law and order mean, the law and the order
expressed in our highest law, to-wit: the
Constitution of the United States, and the
Constitutions of the several States.
1t is mOnstrous proposition to say that
we will uphold law and order by allowing
military officers to substitute their will and
their regulations for the will of great peo-
pie, as written into our Constitution and
regulated by those statutes which mark ont
very definitely what the troops can lawfully
do, after they have been called out by the
Governor.

was severely condemned, and the 4. S.
Supreme Court declared it to be unlawful.
Even Mr.. Lincoln, in those extreme cases,
did not go further than to infct temporary
imprisonment; nobody's head was shaved,
and nobody was sentenced by military court
to term of years i'll penitentiary.
Here of late we have had type of mill
tary law that the Western world never saw
before. When Austria was subduing the
Hungarians, when the Russians were rivet-
ing the chains on Poland and when Wevler
was trying to crush the revolt in Cuba, such
deeds were done as have become Odiousv
familiar to us in connection with strikes in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Colorado Massa-
chusetts, West Virginia and Georgia.
"To hell with the Constitution" was the
cry of Gen. Sherman Bell, when he was bull
penning the miners in Colorado. AS mat
ter-of- fact, he did set aside the Constitution;
denied to citizens the protection of those
principles of the Great Charter which will
be found in the highest law of every State;
the right to give bond, when arrested; the
right to a speedy and public trial, the right
to free speech and a free press; the right to
be secure in person from arbitrary seizure;
the right to be tried by jury; after the
grand jury has indicted.
All these great principles were abolished
In Colorado by Gen. Sherman Bell.
His evil example and his lawless conduct
appear to have become a standards officers
In charge of troops in West Virginia have

President Woodrow Wilson Presents His Currency

THOSE of us whose business it is to read !
the newspapers from day to day, and
keep track Of things, have noticed that the
money question was settled some years ago.
At least, the papers said it was
There were no hot debates over it, after
Judge Parker telegraphed the gold standard
into the Democratic platform Of 1904.
Following that dramatic incident, came
the tacit agreement by both the old parties,
that the money question was agreed on.
Mr.. Bryan began to make sixty-fve
speeches day for Judge Parker, who, at
that time was worthy to be President of the
United States for at least four full years At
least Bryan said he was, and he said it so
often, so loudly, so eloquently and so earn
estly that we thought he meant it.
Afterwards, we discovered that Mr.. Bryan
did not think Judge Parker was fit to be
temporary chairman of Democratic Con-
vention.
Bryan himself ran for President again, in
1908, and the money question was not an
issue.
In general way, he contended that the
discovery of gold in Alaska, had supplied the
country with sufficient currency.
In the Baltimore Convention of last year,

of our banking laws will render temporary
relief in localities where such relief is needed,
with protection from control or dominion by
what is known the Money Trust.
Banks exist for the accommodation of the
public and not for the control CT business. All
legislation the subject of banking and currency
should have for it's purpose the securing of these
accommodations on terms of absolute security
to the public and Of complete protection from the
misuse of the power that wealth gives to those

It will be seen that the Democrats emphati-
cally condemn the Aldrich Bill so far as it
related to the establishment of central
bank; this detail of the Aldrch Bill was not
by any means its worst feature.
A careful reading of the financial plank in
the Baltimore platform, as prepared by
Bryan, and O'Gorman, of New York, dis
closes the fact that while they meant for the
country to understand that the Democratic
party went on record against the Aldrich-
Vreeland bill it really did nothing of the
kind.

The Lawless Possibilities OF Martial Law

FIFTY years ago, when there was several
great armies In the field, commanded by
graduates from the West Point Military
Academy, it was well understood that no
soldier could act as Judge of a civilian, and
that no drum-head court-martial could
arraign a civilian, try him, sentence him,
shave his head and put him into the peni-
tertiary for term of years.
Martial law, as administered by Generals
Grant and Lee, Sherman and Johnston,
applied to soldiers only, and to their conduct
as soldiers.
Thus, soldier could be shot as deserter,
after he had been tried under martial law,
and convicted.
A soldier could be strapped to wheel for
disobedience of orders; he could be sent to
the guard-house for being drunk: in other
words, martial law was created by the war
itself as a necessary code in the control of the
army by it's responsible officers.
It was only when the civilian became
spy, and thus entered the service of the
enemy against the army, that martial law
applied even to the spy.
Soldiers could expel citizens from the lines
of the camp, and could of course restrain citi
zens visiting the camp from any conduct det-
rimental to the discipline and good morals,
but Generals Grant and Lee had no right to
take up citizens and send them to the peni-
tertiary; never In any case, did they do SO.
It is true that President Lincoln caused
few agitators to be put in prison, upon the
ground that their turbulence was seditious,
but this high-handed conduct of Mr.. Lincoln
