WILLIAM E. eornEL's GREATNESS

AS the character OF William e. Goehel
comes 10 be studied. in the presence of his
martyrdom and under the fashlight Of
public Indignation. It Is known to be that
Of man whose only offense against the
dangerous trend Of his time was that he
stood fearlessly and ably for the cause OF
tho common people against the chicanery
and greed Of corporate power. The p'ess
OF the country far and wide has come 20
recognize this significant and portentous
truth. Whenever the newspapers have
dealt In non-partisan spirit with the hon-
or ana courage of the murdered governor
the admission has been forthcoming that
William Il. Goebel, ahead OF any man in
Kentucky. was the one force respected
and feared by a vast corporation, whose
schemes 10 control the State have zen
tlrcumvented by the genius and mcor-
rupubllity OF the one man whose oppo-'
tune career has been ended by the haad
Of assassination.
The Chicago Chronicle says of this self
contained and strong character:
The personality OF the late William E
ifONutl, tue hehAtbiuultu koNeluui OF Nfu
lucky, was strong and peculiar. Al the age
OF IS years he had acquired Il power In the
politics and public affairs Of that state as
great as was welded by Henry Clay sixty
years ago. II was not the power OF boss. u
W was that which comes to great man, at
'racted by his genius and hts natural gift
/ to lead mankind
| Ills character was most exemplary. lie did
not smoke nor drink rn all respects his prt'
vate lie WAS absolutely pure, lie was uu
married but his name had never been touched
( By scandal In a State OF hereditary gamblers
| he did not gamble, and be procured th'
MASSAGE OF law making gambling a felony
! Though not college bred his abilities anC
legal learning we're such that he had been sc
lleeted by two Of the greatest lawyers in ihl
State-StovenSon ana Cariisle--as their part
uer At the time OF his death his law prac
iice was worth $4,000 year. He dressed
plainly and lived in = quict homo at Coyins
His political enemies we're created by hi
opposition to the great mopopolies and trust
o. the state and by his agsressive position
on tho side Of popular rights.
1t Is fortunate for the people thst To
country has como to recognize that no
mere politics, but "mouopolies an
trusts" make the enemies who seek th
overthrow of men whose individual force
fulness menaces them with au honest da
OF retrbuton
Possessed Of that incompreheusible J. n
OF hydrophobia that moves men 10 absur
extremes. it has come from repuhlca
headquarters that the uudoing of Tdylo
In Kentucky would be made Na;iona
issue. Let it be SO. And. when it u.s. IL
the hydrophobists who urge it upon tn
American voter know that this same vote
recognizes them as the champions OF u .
fF,sa ,t.l
and resolution OF men who in the publ
service, do not forget 10 fight these selhs
enemies OF the masses.

tn Take Grants Place.
Dallas. Texas. February l5.-While no
definite expression has ever been slvtn
out, it is generally thought in Dallas that
Republican State Chairman L. ii. r.
Green is working quietly to succeed Ma
tional Committeeman John Grant as one
of Boss Hanna's advisers The control of
the primaries in BeXar county last Satur-
day by Green, through Judge 0sIel, is
taken as u furnishing OF the evidence. II
any was needed, to prove that the Terrell
man desires to succeed Or. Grant.
1t is all but assured that, as is usual
on presidential years, the Texas repuo.
lieans will this year revel in discord and
disorder. Fights have already been start
ed and more are brewing 1t is be-, ~ ed
in this city that Green and Hawley have
patched up truce and that 1t BODIES 70
good to Grant, But, even II this BE- rue,
1t is felt that Grant will still have enough
of following 10 raise a row, and ;ba, he
will do SO Is considered certain, Viewing
the situation from various standpoin;s.
Dallas republicans look for "squaliy"
times before the year is half gone.
United states Marshal George II. Green
OF Dallas has been mentioned rs a possl
Bile successor of state Chairman Green.

having recently returned from Bryan.
where he had been on visit to his
mother. He was mcvel to the detep-
tior camp, Every precaution has been
taken and ii is not thought there will
be any spread OF the disease.
The above is a gross injustice to Bryar
and as Bryan and Huntsville are riva
trading points, 1t is calculated to do this
town a great injury. 1t is plainly an in
situation that Mellontree contracted tbs
disease while here. Bryan is entirely freS
from smallpox and City Health Officer
Or. George r. Tabor states most positive
ly that there has not been case here
since last September.
