NIGHT RIDERISM IN THE COTTON
BELT.
It ws in Arfcansar wh<-re the rot \
ton night rldere first appeared, tn no-,
tlc<-' served on public glnners not to
gin any more cotton until a bettor,
price than the present was paid for;
It Tbeti assumed Indications of
night rid-rlsm spread rapidly, and’
auch notice* have now been served
In localities In every cotton growing
state And more *uch reports con
tinue to come In every day.
The Richmond News-Leader charges
the Farmers' Union with 'bis, com
menting a» follows:
"This spread of night riding is from ;
two causes. The first Is the failure i
of the authorities In Kentucky, where
the now system of terrorism first took
organised shape. The other is the,
confidence of the criminal and fan- \
at leal members of the Farmers' Union
In the weakness or the sympathy of
the local governments. Men who
band themselves together In large
bodies to attack a single man In his
own home at night or to waylay and
shoot him from ambush would not ac
cept chances of serious punishment
and wouid he deterred from such out
rage by knowledge that the courts
were vigilant and courageous.
Newspapers and public luen eon- (
donlng sueh offenses agslnst clvlllza
tlon and society or condemning It In
meek words and half-hearted spirit are ,
largely responsible for Its cootinu- 1
unce The Farmers' Union In the cot. j
ton country Is controlled by the saute
purposes and uses the same methods
that characterize the leagues and so
t-letles in the tobacco-growing sections:
of Kentucky, It undertakes to fix a
price for cotton and to require every i
cotton grower not only to refuse to
sell ta.low this price, but to hind
himself not to sell except through
the union. In Kentucky we believe, |
It has been proved that the ofßt-la>s
of the tobacco growers’ organization
hud direct personal Interest in the en
forrement of this rule, as they re
ceived very comfortable rake-offs In
I he way of commissions and fens fTorn
all the tobacco they handled.
"Very likely many. If not most, of'
the members of these organizations
and criminals guilty of this violence,
call themselves democrats Yet their
arts and methods are directly and vil
lainumsly contrary to the foundation

crly, the right of > very man to man

I may llnd that he loses mot *y selling

toriety given thl* performance haa

conclusion would seem to he justified
j by the fact that beyond these notices
nothing hss been done, and nobody
i ha* ever seen a cotton night rider

I may he counted on to give all the aid

JUSTICE FOR XANTHIPPE.
In the October nuntber of Smart
I Ret a writer addresses himself to the
|defense of Xanthippe, and attempt*
to show that she was a f*f different
'woman from what she has been paint
ed to he, sad hat during all these
I centuries she ha* rested under the
most unjust imputation.
Xanthippe, the name by which she
!I* knew •», waa Mr* Socrates, the wife
of one of the wisest men of ancient
Greece Rii« is portrayed as a woman
!of vixenish tamper, who could preach
i more and fiercer curtain lectures
than any woman before or since her
i time, aud who. with her perpetual
j longue lashing, led the good and wise
I old Sivcra.es a i egutar dog s Ilf*
I Hence Socratrs I* regarded as the
worst, hen-pecked husband who ever
lived, and not a little of hi* fame
rests on the sympathy which was be
stowed upon him on account of these
constant conjugal storms to which he
was subject at home.
That Mr*. Hocrates was not the
sweet tempered lady *he might have
been there can be no room for doubt,
but In common fairness, after having
been held up to the world as a hor
rible example for over two thousand
years, It might now be considered
whither old Bocrate* himself was not
largely to blame for the sourness of
Xanthippe’s temper?
Socrates, a* will bs remembered,
was a philosopher. Now we have
philosopher* also In our day and time.
In the country they may be found
around the stores where men do con
gregate. whittling a dry goods box
with a Jaok-knlfe while dispensing
their philosophy. Whether Socratca
followed this particular style la not
now known, but In one thing ail
philosophers, ancient and modern, ara
alike. They are what In common par
lance Is called “poor providers’’ at
home.
So, then, It Is reasonably certain
that In the Socrates home thing* did
not look as thsy did In the hotnee
of their more provident neighbors.
Mrs. Socrates probably had to split
her own kindling wood, tor to split
kindling wood does not comport vtlth
philosophy. Mrs. Socrates probably
often was compelled to make over her
laat aeason’a dre*a or last season's
bonnet, because Mr. Socrates failed
to provide the slmoleon* bequired to
buy new ones. And then Mrs. Soc
rates was left very much alone at
home while her spouse followed hla
favorite occupation of philosophizing,
where she had nothing also to occu
py her mind except to think of all
the sweet and good things Socrates
had promised her in their courting
days, and the way he failed to make
these roseate pictures become real
after she had married him.
Is It any wonder, then, If some
times she did administer a severs
tongue lashing to the philosopher
when he returned home late and
empty-handed? She surely was Justi
fiable If she did. And Kls wrong to
continue to saddle all the blame for
the conjugal Infelicity of this pair
upon the woman, when In truth the
man was most to blame.
Had Bocrate* devoted himself to
making money Instead of dabbling
*o deep In philosophy, and had he
kept Mr*. Socrates busy spending it
at dressmakers and milliners, Mr*.
.Socrates would probably have been
a* sweet tempered as other Greek
w-lves. But he djdn’t, and for the
unfortunate result of his shortcoming
he got sympathy and poor old Mrs.
Socrates got the odium.
THE STUDY OF ESPERANTO
Mr Arthur Baker, editor of the
Aun-rika Ksperantiato, of Chicago,
writes a letter to the press as fol

HERALD ECHOES.
What They Didn't Fall v to Do,

j have happened when he went to beat
'lug her?—Houston Post.
Hard Work to Escape Work.
Some speaker recently made the de
claration that “Twenty-five thousand
unemployed walked the streets of
New York every night.’’ This leads
the Augusta Herald to observe that
they must have a mortal fear that
work will catch them, to walk the
streets all night to keep out of the
way.—Campbell News.
Will Strike the Golden Mean.
The Augusta Herald thinks that the
saloon will probably never be restored
but the time will come when the
people will retreat from the other ex
treme which they have now reached
when they make themselves ridicul
ous by branding as criminals the
housewife who makes a bottle of
blackberry vine for her medicine
chest, and put the highest license tax

drink whose only cause of offense is
that it bears the name of beer.—

The Billboard Nuisance.
With the coming to town of a host
of theatrical attractions, there opens
: once more the season of avtlvity for
the billposter, and once more are the'
: boardings and dead walls turned into
atrocious nightmares by the display
of garish, inartistic, and often highly
| suggestive lithographs.
Washington Is too beautiful a city,
and It should have too high standards
to civic duty, to set a bad example in
this respect. The matter is one that j
has bothered many municipalities, and
some cities have gone so far as to ap- [
point a censor of billboards, whose j
duty it Is to pass upon any litho- 1
graphs, theatrical or otherwise, which
are proposed to be pasted about the i
city. This sometimes answers, but j
more often It does not. In Washing
ton, for instance, the matter is left
In the hands of the superintendent of
police, whose duty it Is to see that the
law which forbids "obscene and in- ;
decent.” pictures from being displayed
Is enforced. We are quite sure that
this duty, which devolves on some of
MaJ. Sylester’s officers, is performed
as conscientiously and carefully as
may be, and yet the many visitors to
Washington, who might expect In the
Nation’s Capital, and tn many re
spects do find, a higher feeling for
aesthetic beauty than is evidenced In
most cities are assailed on every hand
by gaudy, highly colored, often sug
gestive and mostly grotesque picto
rial posters. Many of the posters dis
play pictures of the police getting
“the worst of It” at the hands of
thugs, sometimes at the hands of con
victs In stripes; some of them might
well fit In a primer of anarchy; many
of them exert on morals a baneful in
fluence. And all this is high ideals j
for which are held by all lovers of.
Washington. |
So far as Washington is concerned j
the present law may be regarded as j
adequate, In so far as it prevents posi
tive indecency from flaunting itself
in posters; but it halts there, and a I
new and more s'rlngent law is need-,
ed if we would do away with a prac-1
tice that*more than any other hinders j
Washington from realizing its full
sense of "beauty andj orderlines. But
first of all the people of Washington I
must awake to the necessity for do-!
Ing away with the billboard nuisance;
and if the heads of families will only j
consider what, effect these cheap, vul-1
gar, and tawdry displays must have |
on the minds of their growing chil- j
dren, who gather eagerly before them j
In rapt wonder and awe, we cannot
doubt that the declaration against
them would be positive and Insis
tent.—Washington Herald.
Hitting at Hearst.
While Mr. Hearßt is throwing
bombs into the enemies’ camps, do
setters from his own squad —• and
there are a good many such are
popping firecrackers along his way.
Among those who have recently
dropped out of the Independence
party is John T. Cronin, of New
York, secretary to Attorney General
Jackson, of that Btate. lu quitting
the Hearst organization Cronin ad
dresses a long letter to the founder
(nd proprietor, in which ho declares
that fair play was net accorded to
him and asserts ih.tt “this movement
conceived in a large spirit of Dem
ocratic sympai hy with the mast s has
degenerated under the selfish mani
pulation of yourself ail your so
called advisers, uu’it it has finally
ended in this howling farce of a
Presidential ticket.’’ Cronin then
charges Hearst with watting a sub
; sidized campaign on moan; furnish
ed by the Republicans, and he d? 1
scribes an alleged conference be
tween a representative of Hearst and
cn agent of Charles l 1 Taft, -in
which a proposition for the Repub
lican candidate's Lrother to furnish
funds for Hearst’s national campaign
was considered It is not worth any
body's while to follow up such
charges against the Hearst party,
I eise, no doubt, as much might be
! made out of this as has beeu made
j out of Hearst's revelations eoncern
jmg Foraker and Haskell. But what
boots it all? Hearst doesn t mind be

v ith his enemies. His m thuds have
been exposed a hundred times In a
