Discrimination Is Robbery.

Bourke Cochran in his speech at the
trust meeting at Chicago said:
1.-THE public official in control of any
great public franchise who gives to
any one man opportunities at the ex-
pense Of another, robs that other par
ty, If not of the property in his pos
session, Of the opportunity to acquire
property"
1t is this evil that the McChord rail-
road bill, Endorsed by the Democratic
convention, is intended to prevent. Mr..
Cochran suggesed this remedy:
"An officer of corporation grant
ing special favor to any person who
has the right to use that possession en-
equal terms with everybody else ought
to be held guilty of serious felony.
No fines, no judicial rebukes, no de-
nunciation from platforms, no lsgis-
lative enactments declaring things are
reprehensible will touch the subject,
but specific enactment that a special
rate granted TO any one not enjoyed
by the other is a felony, and proper
means toward Furnishing it will do
something toward checking it, and,
my friends, this Is net any incorsid-
crate statement; it Is a crime OF the
first magnitude"

In 1895, during the State cam-

show from the books at Frankfort
that the people were daily robbed
by the Democrats. grid. That
they would increase the school per
capita. 4th. That they would
abolish the State Board OF Equal

truthfully say these four pledges
were not made, Have they full
filled single spledge? Did they
reduce your taxes' In '95. the
year that the Democrats went out
of power, your State tax was AZ Hc
now it is So 1ac, just 10 cents high
er, yet they promised to lower
them. Did they show that the
people were robbed? No! but
upon the other hand the records
were clear and clean and every dol
lar properly accounted for. They
therefore, failed in their secor d
pledge. Have they increased the
school per capita? The last year
the Democrats were in power the
school per capita was s. 80; the
very next year under the Repub-
licans it dropped down 10 S. 40
This year it is $2.7o; which you
readily See is yet lower than we
had it. Yet they promised they
would make it higher. They have
never made an attempt to abolish
the State Board of equalization as
they said they would do. No hon
est, truthful Repub lican can deny
what we say: Can you vote for
a party that failed to carry out these
four pledges, yea even 20 carry out

Republicnns Foster Trusts.

Trusts have grown to such ominous
proportions during the last two years,
and are creating so much alarm among
the people in all the states, that the
leading men are being called together
in conference to devise some means to
check growth of these unlawful COM
binations, and compel them to submit
to the requirements of law. Mr. Bryan
has been called upon to attend three
such conferences within month. The
governors of the various sttaes are
being urged to call the legislatures to-
gether in special session to enact rigid
antitrust laws. The Democrats in the
last Kentucky legislature introduced
and championed such law, and it
would have passed but for the solid
opposition of the Republican members.
Do you think in the face Of that con-
duct that the Republican party in Ken
lucky can be relied upon to place a
controlling hand on these unlawful
combinations?

TRUTH ABOUT VACCINATION.
The secret Of Germany's wonderful
Saccess In Conbating
smallpox.

In a recent lecture delivered at Rome
DIR. Bizzozzero made deep impression
by his summing up of the argument for
vaccination. He said:
Germany stands alone in fulfilling
in great measure the demands OF hygi-
enc, having in consequence of Che ca.
lamitous smallpox epidemic of 1901
enacted the law of 1874 which makes
vaccination obligatory in the first year
OF life and revaccination also obliga.
tory at the tenth year. What was the
result? With population of 5O,O00,-
900. having in 1871 lost 143,00o lives BY
smallpox, she found BY her law of 1874
the mortality diminished so rapidly
that to-day the disease numbers only
116 victims year. These cases, more.
over, occur almost exclusively in towns
on her frontier.
IF it were true that good vaccina.
ton does not protect from smallpox, we
ought to find in smallpox epidemics
that the disease diffuses itself in the
well-vaccinated no less than in the non-
vaccinated countries. But ii is not so.
In 1901, during the Franco German
war, the two peoples interpenetrated
each other, the German having its civil
population vaccinated optionally, but
its army completely vaccinated, while
the French population and army alike)
were vaccinated perfunctorily. both
were attacked by smallpox, but the
French army numbered $4,000 deaths
BY it. while the German army had only
27s; and in the same tent. breathing
the same air, the French wounded were
heavily visited by the disease, while the
German wounded, having been revac-
cinated. had not q single case. Lon

And ii was with even greater sur

had done in individual thought for the
benefit of the outer world, in spite of
their so-called hampered situation.
They were the first to dry sweet corn

medicinal herbs and vegetable extracts
for market. They were also the first
to raise and manufacture broom brush
into brooms, and produced such far
reaching inventions as the machine for
planning match boards, the buzz-saw
and the hydraulic press. And finally
it was they who did away with wrought
nails and Quill pens, two stumbling
blocks to our ancestors. being the first
to manufacture cut nails and to use
metal for pens, brass and silver being
