Second That ' Lieutenant Bevan failed in his duty in not disarming Sutton, as did also Lieutenant Willing. Third That no possible charge of criminality lie against any of the particlnants exceDt Sutton himself, who is solely responsible for his own death which was self inflicted intentionally or in an effort to shoot some one trying to restrain him. Fourth That the charges made by Mrs. Sutton are wholly imaginary. No recommendations are made regarding the conduct of Utley, Willing and Bevan. The minority report concurs in majority report but adds that Ut ley, Adams and Willing and Bevan should have been court martialed at ! the time of the Sutton affair, but recommends no further action be now taken in their cases.

To Produce Commodities For the Sorv ico of Mankind. Tbe mission of the land is to produce and keep on producing food, live stock, lumber and other commodities for the service of man. He woo owns land and is indifferent to this is guilty of a moral wrong, sod be who takes good land out of commission and suffers It to He unproductive and useless is guilty of a greater one. 'Ibis is tbe only criterion by which we can properly judge of tbe right of an individual to own land In large tracts. The good results attendant upon small Individual holdings sre natural. The purposes of oature In tbe upward evolution of man are usually better carried out la this way. and not because, as is so frequently argued, every man has an inberenc right to its ownership. The lazy. .tbe Incapable and tbe densely ignorant assuredly have no sucb right, and land is too precious and its mission too blgb to be tbus wasted. If tbe owner of a great country estate can farm his land as well as or better than if it were in small boldlogs; if. following tbe precept of Swift be made two ears of corn or two blades of grass grow wbere one grew before; if he supply bis section with a better breed of horses, cattle or sbeep, well and good.' No one. with any knowledge of economics could say be was doing any injury to the world or mankind, it is not tbe amount of land tbat be owns, but wbst be does with it for which be is morally responsible.

HONOR PAID MAN

WHO NAMED CITY Descendants of Davis Hoover Held a Reunion at Jackson Park. THEY RECALL HIS MEMORY IT WAS RELATED BY SOME OF THE OLDER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY HOW RICHMOND WAS GIVEN ITS NAME. The reunion of the Hoover family and other descendants of David Hoov er, the man who named Richmond, was held today at Jackson's park with about 250 persons present The day was spent in a social time, speeches by the older members in recalling memories of David Hoover. In company with John Smith. Mr. Hoover moved with his family from North Carolina and settled in the woods along the Whitewater River. Finally the clearing became a settlement and it came time for the settlement to receive a name. Mr. Hoover, under the directions of Mr. Smith and Jeremiah Cox, laid out the city. The first name given the settlement was Smithville, but this soon came into dissatisfaction and a committee in cluding Thomas Robbards, James Regg and David Hoover were appointed by the citizens of the settlement to select a more suitable name. How They Chose Name. Each committeeman suggested a name which were left to the citizens of Smithville to select from. Mr. Robbards suggested Waterford, Mr. Regg proposed Plainfield and Mr. Hoover chose Richmond. As the majority of the citizens were southerners, the name Richmond struck a popular chord and it was almost unanimously adopted. Mr. Hoover was an ardent supporter of freedom for the slaves and took an active part in assisting escaped negroes to get to Canada and safety. In 1816, he was elected a delegate to the Anti-Slavery and Peace Society and thereafter, until after the war of '61, took an active part in the society's affairs, He has been dead a number of years, but is remembered by the older citizens. Besides being prominent in affairs pertaining to the welfare of the city, he took an active part in politics and held the office of county clerk for a period of 16 years. 1 WEST BADEN RAID (American News Service) Paoli, Ind., Aug. 18.

LIBERTY WID JUSTICE Workers . Ask No More Than Equality Under the Law.

LABOR TREATED UNFAIRLY. Its Leaders Maligned end Their Motives Jeered ' Abuse From the Bench Makes the Toiler Doubt the Justice of Courts of Law. In the current issue of tbe American Federationist George W. Bope. first vice president of the Musicians' union, makes a logical and convincing argument for Justice for the toller. We excerpt ss follows: From the time tbe Infant child liberty was rocked in the cradle by Washington. Adams and Jefferson down to a period when we are represented by the powerful genius and the unapproacbed natural resources of 90.000,OOO of people liberty and Justice" has been tbe watchword of tbe American nation. I have always been of the belief that God and nature have made laws which unless restricted la their operation by tbe intervention of human agencies give to every man an equal opportunity to work out bis own destiny In this world. And It Is tbls Intervention of some of these human agencies, operating through tbe Judiciary, tbat I desire to consider. Judge Wright's csstlgstion of Gom pen. Mitchell and Morrison and bis terrific arraignment of labor were couched In terms of calumny, vltupera tlon and reproach. Every trust law yer in tbe country pronounced Judge Wright's tirade sound Judicial doctrine. Every lawbreaking corporation Indorsed it. Every subsidized sheet editorially commended It The gen eral public was thunderstruck. The American Federation of Labor was Staggered. I do not charge that Judge Wright has been commercially inoculated with the poison fang of the Manufacturers' association. Neither do I charge that he has been infected from an Injection at the bands of the scorpions of so called Industrial a 11 lances. But I do charge that be Is at variance with Magna Chart a, Plymouth rock. Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. I do charge that be arrayed himself against every constitutional guarantee. I do charge that bis findings In this case are in violent conflict with the Declaration of Independence, and It carried to their logical travesty tbe federal constituton a delusion. American liberty a dream. American citizenship a malediction and American Institutions a base mockery. Just as the rope which dragged Wil liam Lloyd Garrison through the streets of Boston was the same rope that subsequently hanged treachery and treason until they were dead, so the clanking of the chains of Compere and Mitchell and Morrison, as they march lockstep to prison. If they over do so march, will sound the deathknell of Judicial absolutism In this country. I will agree with some of our predatory trust magnates that they would not go out into the streets of the city and pick the pockets of pedestrians or enter a private house at midnight and plunder the property and rob the Inmates or break tbe glass of a showcase In a shop window and steal tbe contents. But some of these men have committed even worse offenses. They have debauched ostb bound public servants. They have polluted popular government and are guilty of acts of treason against republican institutions no less Infamous than that for which tbe name of Benedict Arnold Is universally execrated. Some years ago a little man sat down among the hills over in the Alleghenles and built a fire. This firs burned for days and for years, and when tbe smoke went up and the fire went out be raked the aahea and found $300,000,000 melted In the heat and sweat of human toil. This man's footsteps bsd fallen upon a continent of Iron. He had employed an army of brawn and grit and this army slept not Thus it wss that he rose to be a monarch crowned with steel. Throughout the country this man has donated granite galleries. Throughout the cities he has erected marble structures which are stuffed with books of science and culture. I have no objection to how many libraries Mr. Carnegie builds or causes to be built - But I want every American boy and every American girl and every American patriot wbo passes nnder one of those library arches to know tbat citizenship of the Carnegie type is always wanting In the name of patriotism, to wrap itself In tbe stars and stripes every time It approaches the national treasury arm ed with a requisition from the federal congress appropriating $300,000,000 for armor plate, with the Implied under standing that one-half million Is to be handed back by way of campaign contributions for tbe purpose of selecting and controlling tbe state legislatures. which In turn elect United States senators, who la their turn confirm or re ject the appointment of federal Judges. And when so confirmed these are the judges wbo are deciding that "labor organisations are conspiracies In re straint of trade." These are the judges who are send tog Gompera and Mitchell and Morrison to Jan for exercising their right of freedom of speech and press. These are the judges who threaten yoa with Imprisonment for saying to me by word of mouth, printer's Ink or other wise that I ought not to buy a Buck's stove. These are the Judges who dseaxra TCrAfl Al cr ieT. Relieve lalpttaaoo. of the heart. PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY.
