From President McKinlny's Speeches

We have but one duty to perform,
and that is to stand by the flag.
The American people never shirk a
responsibility and never unload a
burden that carries forward civiliza-
ton.
The genius of the nation. its free
dom. its wisdom. its humanity, its
courage, its justice. favored by divine
Providence will make it equal to every
task and the master OF every emer-
gency.
Let your boys all be educated in
patriotism, and if so educated no
harm can befall the nation.
The noblest sentiment in the human
heart, next to the love Of God, is love
Of country, and that includes love Of
home, the corner stone Of its strength
and safety.
The United States has never repu-
dated national obligation either to
its creditors or to humanity. 1t will
not now begin to do either. It never
struck a blow except for civilization,
and never struck its colors.
This republic rests not upon force,
not upon the strength Of our armies
or our navies. but upon the masterful
power Of the American people.
1t is to me most gratifying to find
the people taking an interest in their
government. All power rests with
them. and those Of US who for the
moment are selected to execute their
are but their servants.
The best sentiment. the hottest sem
timent, comes from the American
homes-the plain homes where virtue
resides; and a home life, family
life, lies at the very foundation uf
this popular government Of ours.
We are not there to establish Az inn
perial government, but We are there
10 establish government of liberty
under law, protection to life and prop
erty, and opportunity to all who
dwell there.
One thing that can be said ii this
nation, for which we should give all
thanksgiving and praise. i that it
never raised its arm agains. hum2r-
itv, never struck a blow against liber-
tv. never struck blow except for
ciyili5stios end saskiod.

TRIAL OF HENRY YOUTsEY.
Some Damaging Evidence Given Against
the Defendant.

Georgetown. Ky, Oct 9-The first
witness called in the YoutSey trial was
DIR. Ely Of Frankfort who told OF the
post mortem examination of Goebels
body and corrohorated the other ply
Sicians who have testified. EN-Treas-
urer Walter Day said Youtsey told
him he could settle the contest for
$500. but refused to tell him how he
would do ii and he told Youtsey he
was not that kind of man" Ar
thur Branch of Frankfort, said he de-
livered one-pound package to Iout-
Sey for the Adams Express on Jan.
n. sent from Cincinnati.
Sam Shepard of Frankfort saw
Youtsey about a minute after the
shooting. running through the hall of
the executive building from the east
entrance with pistol in his hand.
George l.. Barnes. auditors clerk at
that time, saw Youtsey and Dir John
son, from the mountains, examining Il
box of cartridges, and Johnson said
he would take the cartridges ms they
fitted the gun. Lieutenant John Rick
etts of Knox county again told his
story about Youtsey, telling him in the
agricultural office that the only way
to settle the contest was to put Mr..
Goebel out of the way; that he Yout-
seyl had 500 of his own money to
help put him out of the way and Il
dozen others would give like amount
That Goebel could be killed from the
executive building and the man who
fired the shot could escape through the
basement: that his (Youtsey'sl job de
pended on this contest and he wanted
it settled his way. He repeated the
testimony given in the Powers trial
about Youtsey's movements on the day
of the assassination.

SMITH THE FAvoRITE.


Edward f.. Niver, former editor OF
the Brockwayville Record, now an en-
ployee Of the Pittsburg Dispatch, In a
letter to the Record last week, had the
following to say regarding Hon. w.
o. Smiths nomination for Congress.
81 see by the press dispatches that
my friend, w. o. Smith, Is again a can
didate for the jefferson county endorse
ment for Congress, and that the Repub-
lican primaries are likely to be held in
February. While feel sure that Mr..
Smith will be accorded the support he
has always received in the eastern part
OF Jefferson county-and over the whole
county for that matter-there are spec
ial reasons why he should receive the
county endorsement at the coming
primaries.
when Mr. Smith left the Legisla-
ture and stood for Congress, IL was at
the instance Of his many friends, who
believed his ability and special training
pre-eminently qualified him for higher
legislative duties. This feeling was
shared by Republicans generally over
the county. Mr.. Smith made the run
and received his old time popular ma
jority for the county endorsement, al
though fully aware that Jefferson had
but slight claims for the district nomi-
nation. His action however was start
in the direction which his constituents
desired him to follow. and was so con-
sidered at the time. AT the district
Mr.. Smith made every honorable effort
to secure the nomination. Failing in
that he gave his support to Indiana
county, whose logical claims for the
nomination were uudoubted. The con-
ference was clean, honorable and above
board in every respect, and free from all
deals. Because he could not secure the
nomination himself, Mr.. Smith did not
complicate matters by deadlocking the
conference.
IF any Jefferson county man can Sc
cure the district nomination this term,
1t is W. o. Smith. In fact firmly be-
lieve no one else in the county will stand
/ any show. From his long experience
in the Legislature Mr.. Smith is infinite
ly better fitted to assume the duties OF a
Congressman than any inexperienced
man. His wide acquaintance in Jeffer-
son would insure the most careful con-
sideration of the county's interests, and
the people will make no mistake in
again according Mr.. Smith the Congress
| sional endorsement"

A few years ago a country newspaper

A few years ago a country newspaper
enterprise was looked upon as a sort OF
charitable institution that commanded
its patronage much on the same lines
of other ''good things" for community.
The country subscriber would take and
read the paper not so much because it
contained things that he found out in
no other way, but "just to help the
printer along The merchant of the
town would run the same ad. from one
years end to the other, occasionally
changing line that might happen to
read "Fall and Winter" to "Spring
and Summer" but more frequently
neglecting to give his advertising even
this slight attention. One day, however,
some country merchant figured it out
that II the advertising could be made
TO pay in the city on a large scale, it
could be made profitable in the country
on smaller plan, and devoted some of
the time formerly used in telling stories
around the stove to figuring on a plan
to make his advertising pay. He start
ed in on changing his ad. frequently, by
telling facts about his goods and by do
ing just as he advertised. Soon his
business had grown to such an extent
that he was willing to pay cash for his
advertising instead OF store goods and
plug tobacco This awakened the coun-
try merchant generally and to-day it is
not necessary for the advertising solicit
or in the smallest communities to ex-
plain that it pays to advertise, but he
only needs to tell why his is the best
medium.
Since then the county newspaper has
developed from charitable institution
into business proposition. The editor
is no longer asked to take pumpkins or
some garden truck for his paper, or
deal his advertising bills out over the
counters of the country store, but he
pays the money for what he gets and
gets paid for what he does. His adver-
tising space is considered part OF his
stock in trade and the person who asks
him to dispose of it for nothing belongs
to newspaper age of a former day
