"Our JO's'' Indian whisky
Story.

II is a little interesting that
the second issue Of the "Clarion,"
the new Democratic paper pub.
lished in Senator Blackburn's
town, should have had in full the
Senator's famous Indian whisky
story.
Under the most favorable cir
cumstances when the story was
fresh and new, it was bad enough,
but since the poor Indians have
so suffered from the drunken in
competency Of Government agents
and from the whisky that the
Government has allowed to be
taken among them, this story
seems to be peculiarly inappro-
pirate.
The story is not merely lacking
in any moral popularity, but as
joke could never elicit applause
from anybody higher than saloon
people and ward politicians. An
"end man" at q negro Ministries
that would get of such a gag
would be Kissed by the peanut
gallery.
1 can laugh at Col. Stoddsrd
Johnston's "Texas badger story
or Proctor Knots story of the
"dog that learned to talk" q,
Col. Swope used to tell it.
Though neither of them were ex.
actly the right thing for print,
would rather print them thar
Senator Blackburn's story, be-
cause they are funny to any mar
who has any fun in him.
/ do not fancy Senator Jo't
style but I have nothing persona
againt him, and 1 hate to see the
man continually prosecuted by
that story.
1t has gotten into newspaper
stereotype, and from present sp'
pearances is liable to be stuck
into the newspapers Of the future
a long time after people have for.
gotten who 10 Blackburn was.
If the story had been told by
Blackburn about somebody else
it might have had an element Of
fun that was adapted to some low
comprehensions. But for 9
United States Senator to make
himself the hero ola story the only
point of which is that he and ar
untutored savage were equally
ardent in their devotion to whis-
ky, as a style of wit, l think il
too primitive even for Kentucky
OF course the story was origi'
nally printed to advertise the
Senator among the whisky PEG.
ple; but 1 don't think the Senator
needs any advertisement in that
department, and I think the
Democratic party could do some
thing for the reputation Of the
State by paying the stereotyper'
to suppress that story. .
1t is possible though, that both
the Republicans and the Prohibi.
tionists would take up the publ
cation of the Senator's story il
they cav the Democrats were
neglecting it.
