rae SUBSIDY BEL INIouITY.
Nothing But a GIaring Attempt by
Monopolists at Class Leg
isIation,

Senator Foraker made the somewhat
remarkable statement the other day
that he was opposed to the subsidiz-
ing of special interests, but would
make an exception in the case of the
ship subsidy bill because he thought
it would result in the accomplishment
of the purposes indicated in the title
Of the measure. In other words, says
the Detroit Free Press, he looked upon
the principle as wrong and pernicious,
but fell back upon the dangerous doc
trine that the end justifies the means.
Senator's Allison, of Iowa, and Spooner,
of Wisconsin, cannot thus easily rec
oncile themselves to the demands of
party politics. They are not satisfied
with the bill, and we fail to compre-
bend how any number of amendments
can attract them to its support. 1t
is based upon false hypothesis, and
one that antagonizes the very essence
of our institutions. The laws of a num-
Der of states against trusts were re-
Gently nullified because they discrim-
mated in favor of certain interests,
and were thus voidable because of
class legislation.
It has been shown beyond contro-
versy that the bill under considera-
ton is glazing attempt at class legis-
lation. AS pointed out in the able
address of Senator Clay, of Missouri,
there are tens of thousands engaged
in meritorious industries, farmers and
manufacturers, who are losing money
or barely making ends meet. 1t is as
incumbent upon the government to
rriU her 10 of al
dertakings as to subsidize the ship
ping interests that it is proposed to
benefit. AS for that it would be easier
to defend a wholesale distribution of
money, taxed from the people, to as
sist languishing domestic interests
than to vindicate under false pre-
lenses gift of undetermined millions
to a monopoly of maritime operators.
It is unwarranted to assume from
the number of questions being asked
and amendments offered by them that
the two leading senator's will eventu-
ally frame subsidy bill that they will
support. Their objection is funda-
mental and opposed to the subsidy
| upon any terms or conditions. They
| questioned Frye, one of the authors OF
| the bill, and forced admissions of lack
| of information on his part until he
grew peevish and was relieved of tor
ture as a matter of senatorial cour-
tesy. They put Senator Hanna where
he had to side step and spar for time.
Senator Depew had to apologize fol-
| mistaken statements under misinfor-
nation. The very fact that those who
prepared the bill and are backing il
are not informed as to the material
evidence bearing upon it, and give
nothing but speculative estimates as
to the outcome; that they propose to
leave out in the cold the smaller YES
sells that are doing the bulk of the
trade upon our Atlantic seaboard, sug-
gests a selfish impetus behind the
! movement.

him; but Van Clede, turning side
wise, seized him again.
Then, not 20 feet away in the dark
ness, voice called to them and
hand was stretched out. It was Bron-
sons camp boss, who had crossed
from the shore to the island on lit
tie raft of railroad ties.
After that the ST. Clair, burning like
box of matches, burned herself out
on the reef, and the wind died down,
and the day grew white behind the
tree-tops.
But all through the dreadful night
there were three men who were
tower of strength to others; and one
of these was Van Clede, lying without
doctors aid in shanty at Bronson's
camp. There were three men who, all
night, risked their lives again and
again upon the reef and the island
for others. One of these was Capt.
Willis, of the ST. Clair, with a water
soaked wound upon his forehead; one
of them was the camp boss with hands
torn and pulled with water, and one
was Shocky Larson, who had come
into his manhood.
He would never be a Dragging boy
again; but day by day he would grow
more like Van Clede and the camp
boss-men with simple hearts and
steady hands, and their first thought
a thought for others.
ssI knew he had it in him." said Van
Clede, long afterward, ST knew he had
it in him, or maybe I wouldn't have
bothered so much about him.

SENATOR cRABBE CHAIRMAN.

Senator Crabbe was elected chairman
of the Fourth District Committee yes
terday, to succeed A. V. Gear whose
resignation was accepted. Gears letter
was read stating that the reason for
his resignation was that press of bust
ness would prevent him from giving the
time necessary for the political bust
ness. Senator Crabbe said that in view
of such reasons he would move the
acceptance of the resignation, and a
resolution was passed accepting the re-
signatiOn with regrets.
w. II. Coney proposed E. A. Mott
Smith for chairman and w. c. King
nominated Crabbe. 1t was developed
that Mott-Smith had not been consult
ed in the matter and his name was
Withdrawn, making the selection of
Crabbe unanimous.

DR.. Moore proposed another treat
ment, in the following letter:
DIR. II, c. Sloggett, President of the
Board of Health. Dear Sir: l wish to
bring to the attention of the members
of the Board for consideration the adj
visibility and practicability of attempt
ing the amelioration and perhaps cure
of certain leprous manifestations by the
use of the apparatus devised by Prof.
Fuisen of Copenhagen, and employed by
him in treatment of lupus.
Il believe that in the earlier and more
superficial LESSONS of leprosy it would
prove of decided value, perhaps modi-
fled to suit the conditions and taken
in connection with other treatment
great deal might be accomplished.

agreement of ten years ago that he

Gentlemen of the Senate and House
of Representatives:
The authority for this special
communication TO you may be
found in Section 10 of the Consti-
tuition of Kentucky, which reads /:
"He (the Governor) shall from
time to time give the General As
sembly information of the state of
the Commonwealth, and recon-
mend to their consideration such
measures as he may deem expedi-
ent.'' With the high regard that
/ have for your sense of duty and
devotion to the public service, it is
not my desire or intention to tres
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-03-04

pass upon your prerogatives as a
coordinate branch of the State
Government or to criticise in the
least your action in the discharge
of the responsibilities resting upon
you. Your accountability for the
} faithful performance of these du-
| ties is to the constituency which
'honored you--not to me. 1t is the
province of the executive simply to
advise and communicate with you,
and to exercise such power over
your legislative action as is confer
red by Section SO of the Constitu-
tion.
i, therefore, in the beginning
disclaim any purpose of trying to
assert an authority over your Of
fetal action which does not prop
erly belong to the chief executive,
but in the exercise of a constitu-
tional privilege, | deem it expedi-
ent as well as my duty to call your
attention to a matter now before
you, of such Importance and of
ysuch general interest that it de-
serves your earnest consideration
and prompt settlement. In plain
and respectful terms ! wish to urge
upon you that you as quickly as
possible take up and enact into law
bill providing for a uniform and
cheaper system of text books for
use in our public schools. When
you assembled here large major
ity of the people of the State ex-
+. pected and had reason to expect
that such bill would be passed by
your honorable body, and in these,
the closing days of your session,
when great pressure of business
lis upon you, ask that their ex-

tofore it was possible to change the
books every year. As matter of
fact many Of them were often
changed, entailing loss every time.
Again, there was a want of unifor-
nifty in. text books. The books
used in one school or county were
not good in another, and great ex-
pense followed these many chan
ges. About half a million stu
dents attended our public schools
last year. 1t is not unreasonable
to assume that dollar and fifty
cents at the old prices was spent
annually per pupil for books and
copy books; so the saving to the
people would be about a quarter of
a million of dollars. This law is
working splendidly. Since it has
got fully under way and is under
stood, it is eminently satisfactory.
81 urge you not to allow it to be
repealed or impaired. The people
who tax themselves so literally for
schools, should not have to pay eX-
cessive tribute to the book pub
Usher. Your predecessors boldly
inaugurated this reform, and i
urge you to patriotically sustain
it,"
The same arguments and the
same fight were made against the
passage of the law in Tennessee as
are now made against its passage
in Kentucky. The same predic
tions as to its inpracticability were
made then as are made now. Are
they entitled to any credit in the
light of such vindication of the
law?
But now let us look at it from
another standpoint. / do not be-
lieye in that kind of partisanship
that would tamper with the juris-
prudence of the state for the mere
purpose of political advantage, or
that would sacrifice the interests
of the whole people for the benefit
of any faction of them. That po-
litical party is the best whose prin-
ciples are founded upon justice and
progress, and that party is the
most progressive which is the most
faithful in the redemption OF its
pledges. That member of party
is the most praiseworthy who ear
nestly and honestly endeavors to
carry out his party's promises.
Government by party organiza-
tion is an accepted fact in national
and state affairs, and when a party
is entrusted with power the high
est test of its virtue is the sinceri-
ty of its purpose and the fidelity
with which it fulfills it's obliga-
tions. Democratic and Republican
government can not endure unless
its agents faithfully voice and ex-
execute the principles of those who
placed them in power. The Dem
ocratic state convention upon

AN IMPORTANT LETTER
Prom j. 7. Highland, of Somer
set Christian Church.


was so glad to see you give so
much of your space last week to
the protracted meeting and the
many converts, but regretted that
fifty three had not taken member
ship in any church. Let all christ
ians urge them to be member of
the church. New converts, don't
delay in taking membership; do as
the majority have done; go into
the church. Let every body know
that you are for Christ and His
church. If you are anxious TO find
excuses for not promptly connect
ing yourself with the church, you
can do so. No church is perfect,
you are not perfect. The church
in the Apostles day was not perfect.
Nevertheless the church represents
Gods people, and you cannot af-
ford to stand aloof from it. You
are not living up to your promise
or duty if you do. Christ does not
and cannot approve Of you in such
an attitude. You have had a good
meeting; many have promised to
start in the Divine Life. People
born unto the church are often not
cared for, not trained in church
duties. Without training few will
grow to true spiritul manhood and
womanhood. New converts meet
with difficulties, and if they are
left alone without church influence
there is great danger of them wan
dering back into the World. Each
Christian nearby should be com
mittee of one to look after these
new members warm them and help
them to grow strong in the Lord.
The church must instruct new
mem bers in their duty and help one
another in the Christian life. To
make converts and never instruct
them how to engage in the service
Of God, is wrong. You can help
these new converts by visiting
them and encouraging them in the
worship of God. A christian in
helping another always helps him
self. Another danger with new
members is that there are many old
members who have there names en-
rolled on the church books who for
get they have been purged from
their old sins. The danger is that
these new members have these faul-
ty members for their example.
Then a fault in some churches is
that older members do all the work
and new members find nothing to
do. It is difficult for a person To
maintain interest and zeal in a
work while sitting and seeing 9th
ers do all the work. Call young
members into service EARLY. Say
to your members: "Come to church
every Sunday" i" There is very lit
tie danger of man or woman 90
ing wrong who attends church ev-
cry Sunday. Do not take back
seat--go to the front BE punctial,
get there in time for the first hymn,
take part in every song, get all that
is good out of every song, prayer
and sermon. Don't go to church
expecting some one to arouse you !;
go expecting to arouse someone else.
Then you will benefit others, and
be benefited yourself. Don't criti-
else, don't find fault with your
church. Think of your own power
ty and wants. Then going into
church will be a blessing.

responsibility is one of which the
people of the State have not lost
sight. The time for action is
short, and the obligation upon you
for promptitude and dispatch is
proportionately great. The basic
principles of the bill are uniform

maximum prices, and no plausible
yet destructive amendments should
be allowed, as their purpose is to

destroy its benefits If passed. IL
