COURTS MUST BE UPHELD OVER MOB LAW, SAYS JUDGE
Activities Of Masked Bands Scored By Judge
 Horton
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD


 Persons who ttake upon them selves the task of inflicting pun ishment on others may be actuated by highest motives but it is easy for them to debase themselves, accord ing to Judge James E. Horton in a charge to the Morgon county granI jury on the activities of bands CT men. Judge Horton pointed out that activities of these bands were few if at all in. this section but warned the citizenship that the Jurisdiction of the court in meting out punishment should not be interfered with
 Judge Horton said, in part: There has recently been an unusual num- Der of attacks upon private citizens by masked bands and numerous per- sons upon one pretext or another have been taken out and whipped and severly beaten. There has been few if any such outrages committed In this section of the country. It is probable that we shall seldom be af- flicted with such occurrences. The majority of our citizens are Anglo Saxons.a tn which the love of liberty Is deeply emplanted and who love law and order. But as a spirit of lawlessness is more or less epidemic Fit is well we should be careful to immediately suppress any acts of this kind.
 There can be but one place for the meting out of punishment and that is through the courts. The courts are instrumentalities insti- tuted by the people for the punish ment of offenders against the law. No matter what the crime, how guilty the party and how united public opinion there are no excuses for private persons taking the ex- ecution of punishment into their own hands. SHApose iR--one instance the perpetrators are actuated by the highest motives and are seeking what they believe the best for their communities. But our better na- tires are easily debased. Soon pri- vate malice and individual hate will become the actuating motive"

BUTLER AERIE
EAGLES
Plan to Celebrate Twentieth
Anniversary in Elab-
crate Manner

That the celebration by Butler
Aerie No. 407, Fraternal Order Eagles
of its twentieth anniversary at the
Butler county fairgrounds, Saturday
June 23rd, is to be on an elaborate
scale goes without saying. The cele-
bration will be for Eagles only and
members of their families. The lodge
is to bear all expense. 1t is doubtful
if any lodge in this vicinity ever
spent the sum for an affair of this
kind which the local Eagles will ex-
pend on their anniversary celebra-
ton. When it is considered that the
lodge has membership approximate
ing 5000 and but one-half, 1900,
should attend, averaging families at
five members, this would make an at
tendance of at least 1900, furnishing
burgoo and barbecue, coffee, soft
drinks, ice cream cones, free rides on
the merry -go-round for children, all
free, one can get faint idea of the
large expense attached
But it is expected that more than
/ 500 members will attend. The COM
mittee is preparing for a crowd of
10000. In addition to the lunch and
refreshments there will be an inn
mense outdoor platform with big
orchestra for dancing, afternoon and
evening, band concert from to
o'clock. And there will be games and
contests of every description for the
children and older persons for which
several hundred dollars will be given
in prizes. Prizes will be given the
oldest, lightest weight and heaviest
weight Eagle on the grounds. The
oldest lady on the grounds will also
receive prize. The children and
ladies are to receive special attention
the Eagles being determined to give
their families one big day.
There is to be no speech making
as it is figured every one will be too
busy celebrating to give attention to
wind iamming. All in all it is to be a
day long to be remembered by those
participating.

COAL OWNERS
To Blame For Large Sur
plus of Miners, Say
UniOnists

Washington.-Th charge that the
United Mine Workers of America are
responsible for 100000 surplus coal
miners is declared a "bald-faced mis-
leading statement" by committee
representing that union, in a COM
munication to the United States coal
commission.
The charge is "amateurish" and it
is issued by group of anti-union BIZ
luminous coal owners, who would
have the public believe that the min
ers' union reaches out and drags in
men from anywhere and everywhere
in order to increase it's membership,
the miners say.
The commission is told that coal
owners themselves determine just
how many members the United Mine
Workers of America shall have; they
determine just who shall become
members of this union; they determine
lust who shall not become members
of the union; they are responsible Tor
the size and character of the mem
bership.
Section z of article IA of the con-
stitution of the United Mine Workers
of America defines eligibility to mem
bership in the union. That section
says:
"No applicant shall be eligible for
initiation until he has started to work
at a mine under the jurisdiction OF
the local union where application for
membership is made"
"Under that provision, no man can
become member of the United Mine
Workers of America until he has first
been employed by a coal operator.
The coal operators of this country
have hired 100000 more miners than
are needed in the industry. The oper-
ators, not the union, dragged these
200 900 surplus men into the mines.
They now admit the folly of this
policy and seek to shift the blame
upon the shoulders of the union.
"Once the operator hires man to
work in his mine, the union takes him
in as member, if he will join. But
the union can not take him in until
the operator has given him job.
eff these operators do not want so
many men in the industry, then why
do they not cease hiring more and
more men all the time?
