FEDERAL COURT
5 Men Sentenced to Penitentiary
aod 9 to Jail forf Violation of
InterQcil Revenue Law
, Probably the wors$ Tiatel spian In
this section of the state among the
whiskey men today is Judge James E.
'- . " - i. . ' i t
4 Boyd; who adjourned Federal cou,rt at
Statesville this week.
Judge Boyd waSiSwdrn in 5vyears
ago and it was generally understood
that all offences against the govem-
ment could .be -settled by paying a
' v, . .- -,- - -. ; !
fine, but as soon as the Judge assum-.
ed the duties of office he announced
that this fraudulent business must
stop. .
- - - . : i .
During the 5 years he has been on
. , '
tthB Taench he has on eyry f occasion
:in charging the grand jurydenounced
'this fraudulent practice .in ' the most
vehement terms. v, M v ":
. He has endeavored -to Impress upon
the people that this state of affairs
would lead to but one result, a result
that is inevitables debauscheryanddep
. ;ravity of the public mind.
!
' That v men who through fraululent
Schemes are permitted to accumulate"
vast fortunes have an advantage over
the honest citizen who labors for his
support because they are placed In
attitude where they can if they see
fit resort to all kinds of shcemea and
bribery to corrupt the public service.
He has warned violators of the In
ternal revenue law that this fraudulent
pracitce must stop, but his warning
has goire ; unheeded, fallen on- deaf
ears, however the manner, in which
lie disposed of the cases at States-
"ville at the last term of court has been
to them a rude awakening. j
Money has had no weight in this
court and the offenders who have gone
on and on in this fraudulent practice
lad yet to learn that their ill gotten
gainns could not rule the courts and
keep them from behind the prison bars
Judge Boyd has been severely criti
sized by 'a lot of the papers in the
state for his action but instead of
being cihdemmed he should be the
recipient of much "praise.
The fact alone that this s eminent
jurist had the courage to 'sentence
to prison, men who by the power they
have long held could control towns,
counties and even districts should be
sufficient cause for commendation
and the hearty endorsement of the
public. j
It is a fact that this fraudulent
practice is very common and that men
Ihave accumulated immense fortunes
Tby this same practice' and It is also
:a fact that they put the dirty work on
to some hireling and in case he was
-.caught red handed in the act of ide--frauding
the government to come for
ward with his mqney and have the
-things squashed, the man to return
to his duties of hauling blockade

honest endeavor to stop this practice
and the course he Is persuing is the
only way in which it can be done.

nor is. their any danger of his removal.
from office oiT their "account. - :
air. Price who is assistant district
attorney, is tireless Int his efforts to
bring to justice those who are violat
ing the law and let it be said to his
cr adit that he is the tool of no man
nc r set- of men.
He like Judge Boyd believes that
tie violaters of the Internal revenue
law should not be allowed to escape
punishment by the payment of a fine
b it should be dealt with as the of
fense demands they should be. :
The laws of this country must be
u held and those who go on in utter
d sregard of these laws will find soon
e: or later that there are some men
who do not stand in fear of their
b asted power on account of the vast
sums of money that can be had at
their command.
It is only too true that money con
trols those men in office who should
b3 pure, but who for fear that they
niay lose their power lend a willing j
eiir to the corruption and bribery of
class, who care not for the man but
f6r

aid their gain.

in all five of whom were sent to the

It is to be regrettel that it Is nec-

esty of the law must be up-held.

-but why tell the sad tale? We have
met the enemy and we are theirs.
All is lost save honour. You see It
was like this: They made more runs
than we did and just naturally won
the game. We can't even blame It
on the umpires, who do not seem, to
have been any ranker than those hor
rible monsters always are-to the los
ing team. We have been wiped up,
smitten, vanquished, cleaned off the
face of the earth, made to 'go way"

As none of the boys has come to the
front with a written story of the cat-

wihout detailed summary of runs, hits,
errors, assists, etc. Just bef ode going
ti press, however, it is stated on good
authority (though this is denied) that
the" captain cussed Woodrum for fumb-
ing the ball, the boys are all cussing
Woodrum for throwing the game and,
to an unprejudiced outsider, it seems
that the umpires, hereabove said to
have been fair, should have been cus
sed for neglecting their duty in not
cussing the captain for cussing Wood
rum. " Having said which, we hereby
trail our colors from the stern, bite
the dust once again, and issue solemn
warning that we wil lick 'em tomor

VETERANS'
AT LOUISVILLE
Twelve bands of music have been

at air the parks, and will contribute
concerts of popular music every after-,
neen and every night. This will be

A big reception will be held at the
Gait House, probably Friday night
The early hours will be devoted to the
veterans; later the ladies -will be re
ceived, and after the younger folks
will be' the guests, ,with an Informal
dance to follow in the big dining
room. The members of the Confeder

Garden Party and Fireworks.
The garden party at fWestern Park,
probablyjdn Thursday, wll be the first
thing of the kind ever given in Louis-
ville on so big a scale. Refreshments
will be served, the bathing beach will
be thrown open," games will be pro
vided,' and daylight fireworks will help
to make things lively. , This Is an
English entertainment and much
pleasure is antictpated for the thou-
ands of visitors.

All the . theatres will probably be
open during the week, and special" at

Everything will be absolutely free
to the Confederate veterans wearing

in distributing the badges, so that only
those entitled to them will get them.
These .badges will bear the portrait of

But Mrs. Kephart is about to move
to High Point "and there will be few
opportunities to hear her again, so
that those who do not attend the
Easter morning service will make a
grievous error.
The climax of the musical devition
comes after the sermon, when the
choir will sing Barney's magnificent
anthem "King, All Glorious." one of
the greatest achievements of modern
musical composition. It is a song of
jubilation, of triumph, and one can
imagine the gates of Heaven opening
to admit the Lord. It offers full scope
for the voices of the choir.and makes
the completion of the service one that
would have satisfied even Beethoven.
