THE Is Per CENT.
Will Not be Assessed Against

There will not be any increase
Ia the assessed value of taxable
property in Crittenden county this
year. The committee sent to
Frankfort by the fiscal court enlis-

together, succeeded in getting the
proposed ID per cent raise elimi-
mated. The boys are very appro.

the raises Now, in our county
there has been a number of sales
in which the prices we're based
upon the hope and expectation of
the purchaser that there was great
mineral wealth under the land and
not upon the real value of the
land. These transfers had more
to DO with making the raise appear
plausible than anything else "

JUDGE BRECKENRIDGE
Withdraws From the Race For

Judge Robert j. Breckenridge
announced his withdrawal from

ky, Saturday, in a letter addressed
to State Chairman Young, which
reads as follows:
Danville, Ky, April Is, 1903. -
Hon Allie w. Young, chairman
etc, Frankfort, Ky.-Dear Sir: ]
am within the last few days advis.
ed by my friends, in whose judg.
ment | have the utmost confidence,
that | may not expect, under ex-
listing circumstances, TO win the
nomination for Governor at the
May primary, | have no DISPOSE

the continued success of our party,
l am very truly yours,

Judge Breckenridge seemed to
be in an absolute good nature with

the hope of leading the Dem

with the utmost equanimity.

The President Of tho National
Association of Manufacturers, IN a
speech before the Association at
New Orleans last week declared
that organized labor knows but
one law, and that is the law of
physical force" Well. when all
other laws fail, show us the man
who does not resort to physical
force before he abandons the fight
and gives himself up for lost. But
is President Perry right: The
tendency of many of the labor lead
ers is too socialistic and too often
physical force is resorted TO. but
the tendency Of many of the cap.
italists is toward too strong cen
tralization. and too often inf air
and unreasonable combinations
are made for plundering the mas
ses, but this does not prove that
there are no legitimate and help
full organizations of capital. Nei-
Their does the existence of the un-
reasonable and occasionally law
less element in labor, prove that
there is not Legitimate and helpful
organizations There is room.
there is necessity for both or.
CARNATIONS, but thoughtful, con.
servRtiye men is the need Of each,
ood when the leadership of both
,alls into the keeping Of such men
these organizations will DO helpful
rather than hurtful 10 each other.
