VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY
In Murder Case Against James D.
Wood at Dixon.

Dixon, KY, Dec. 10.-The jury
in the case of the commonwealth
against John D. Wood, former pres
ident of the United Mine Workers,
for the western district of Ken
lucky, and Sam Chapel, colored,
the national organizer for the min
ers, on the charge of murder,
brought in a verdict of not guilty
after being out two hours. The
case was given to the jury at one
o'clock. The taking of testimony
lasted for about ten days. The
charge against c. Barnaby was
dismissed several days ago. The
case grew out of a conflict between
the union and non.union miners al
Providence a little over a year ago,
in which four men were killed.

SHAKE. HENRY. SHAKE.

An editorial from the Cadiz Rec
ord on the State primary is repro
duced today and we heartily en-
dorse the sentiments expressed
therein We even agree with Edi-
tor Lawrence that a primary is a
good way to get the sense of a plu-
rallty Of the people, provided of
course it is regularly called. In
this case the party law makes no
such provision, but demands that a
state convention be held once every
four years to nominate candidates
for state Offices, reorganize the
committees, prepare platform and
adopt rules of government
All of this has been abolished
without authority and right there
was where the committeeman from
the Second district volunteered to
lead a forlorn hope, if need be,
against those making warfare on
the party rules, under the direction
of the Office holders who think they
own the committee and the party it.

by a primary in each county. Or
to call a convention to amend the

THE STATE PRIMARY.

As an original proposition The
Record has always been for a pri-
mary election as the best means of
getting the sense of the people in
the selection of nominees for all
elective offices, and while it has no
patience with the wholesale abuse
and vicious attacks which the oppo-
sition is marking upon the State
Executive Committee and other peo-
pie throughout the State who hon
estly and rightfully contend for a
State primary, yet we are free to
admit the possibilities of injustice
to worthy candidates and the ieop-
ardizing of the success, of the ticket
nominated under the plan now pro-
posed.
No governing authority of any
political party has any moral right
to say that any man aspiring TO
official position shall be possessed
of certain property qualifications
before he is even entitled to run tor
that position. The penniless boy
with brain and ambition should not
be compelled to take a seat in the
rear and give way to,hls wealthier
neighbor. Notwithstanding his
poverty, his right to run should be
equal to that Of any other man in
the State, and if the governing au-
thority has the wishes of the people
and the success of the party at
heart and we know it hast will
see to it that no one shall be de-
prived of this right because there is
a fool law on the statute books
which virtually makes this pre-
requisite. The voice of the people
can be had in a manner that will
not bring the election within the
meaning of the statute as a primary.
1t should be done, and every man
who has aspirations be given a
chance to submit his case to the
arbitration of the generous and
liberty-loving Democrats of the
proud old State Of Kentucky.
The ticket nominated must re-
ceive majority Of the votes Of the
State before it can be elected, and
we have too much confidence in the
committee to believe that it will per-
NIT nominations to be made in a
manuer that cannot be defended
upon every stump in the State, and
to the eternal and everlasting un-
doing of the man claiming allegi-
ance to the Democratic party who
will undertake to attack it.
Democratic success in Kentucky
next November is possible by $4,000
majority. 1t is yet to be seen
whether wise counsel is to prevail
and that result accomplished

WILL MISS THEIR DRINKS.

Washington, Dec. 11-Members of
the house, who have been in the
habit of patronizing the bar connect
ed with the restaurant in the base-
ment, are in a great state of mind be-
cause the senators have agreed to
the amendment, tackled on in the
house to the immigration bill, pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors in the capitol building.
It has long been the custom in the
senate restaurant to serve wines
and beer put to prohibit the sale Of
hard liquors. Over on the house
side wiskey is openly sold in the bar.
It has been customary for the house,
year after year, to pass a bill or a.
mendment of some sort prohibiting
the sale of liquor at the capitol, but
this has always been done with the
understanding that the senate
would defeat the amendment.
This year, however, it has been
accepted by the senate, and the
drinking men over on the house
side are at their wits end to know
how they are going to knock out
their temperance plank and at the
same time prevent their consti tu- !:
ents from cathcing on to their little
game. %4

With commission in the east
investigating the methods of tho
coal operators and the grievances Of
the employees, and the Minnesota
courts investigating the methods of a
great corporation, it is truly signi-
ficant that the commercial business
of the country is rapidly being
absorbed by designing .monopolies.
The inhuman treatment of employees
by the coal operaors and the disre-
garding of people rights by the rail-
roads certainly appeal strongly to
legislators to the necessity of the
enactment of some law whereby
these corporations will be subject to
the will of man to such an extent
that they will take more than their
just due.

and the latter two addressed the
assemblage.
The subject of their remarks was
the change in the insurance plan
of order as adopted by the recent
biennial meeting of the association
held at Luverne. At that meeting
an entirely new principle of insur-
ance was put in force, being adopted
in detail by unanimous vote of the
delegates. Pipestone was not repre-
sented at the meeting.
The new system Of insurance
provides for a definite number of
premiums of the fixed amount so
thata person taking insurance knows
exactly what it is going to cost him.
The former plan of the association
has been to meet the losses sby post
mortuary assessments, plan that
is fast being abandonded by the
fraternal orders of the. country.
The expense of the insurance will
be slightly higher, but it is claim
ed that there will be advantages
to more than counter balance this.
Losses can be paid more promptly,
as there will be no delay to collect
an assessment. It is believed that
