The Louisville Herald, is a Re.
publican paper, but is at least one
Louisville paper that sees at last
that COL Hendrck is real candi-
date for Governor, who cannot be
scared of the track:
1.-THE Hon. John K Hendrick,
who persists in his candidacy for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor in the face of the determn.
alton of the Beckham-Y Young ma
chine TO force him off, reported an
indignant and wholesale indictment
of the Democratic political trust in
an interview Sunday and in his
speech at Georgetown yesterday.
Mr. Hendrick makes the bold state
ment that not more than one in four
of the Democratic voters is for
Beckham. In spite of this, men like
Mr.. Watterson and Judge Black
were forced to retire, acknowledge
ing that the corruption and ruth
lessness of the state machine was
so great that they had no chance
against il, even in a pretended pri-
mary before the voters.
"Col. Hendrick is made of sterner
stuff He not only declares that he
will run his race out, but he has
the courage, in defense of the rights
of the voters of his party, 10 de-
nounce the whole scheme of the
political trust by which Allie
Young, Percy Haley and a few
others have undertaken to appor-
tion out the political honors and re-
duce the Democratic party of the
State to a condition of slavery to
Mr.. Young's committee.
There has been somewhat of a
belief pending among politicians
that Mr.. Hendrick was persisting
10 his candidacy for the purpose of
putting himself in a good position
Tor next time. But his words have
10 them the ring of honest lndigna-
ton and protest. They are the
words of a man who deliberately
burns hrs bridges behind him with
the gang that have the Democratic
party Of the State by the throat
Mr.. Hendrick says What thousands
of Democrats are say my, who feel
that their hands are tied and that
their votes are already tdhulated
and counted by the political trust
without regard to their wishes or
purposes. If that Is his purpose be
will have the sympathy and support
of thousands.

CUMBERLAND KNOCKED OUT.
Telephone Decision of Keen inter
est to FiOpkinsville People.

The Court of Appeals Wednesday
sustained the judgment. of the JEFF
ferson Chaucery Court in the litiga-
ton between the Cumberland Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company and
the Home Telephone Company.
The decision is a victory for the
Home Company, the court holding
that it cannot be shut out because
of the fact that it is incorporated in
Delaware; and that the franchise
of the Cumberland corporation is
not exclusive. Under this decision
the telephone company shut out of
Hopkinsville last summer, can force
the city council to grant the fran
chise purchased in the open market.

He Wanted a Drink.

Ever since the Pioneer has
been in it's present quarters the
paper has had trouble with the
customers of other people. It's
present home was formerly oc-
cupied by the Bemidji Mercan-
tile Company, and any mum Der of
people have recently tried to
market butter, eggs, hides. hair
and talloW at the office. All this
the office force has carefully and
painstakingly endured but the
climax came this afternoon when
a Woodsman in an intoxicated
condition came la and asked to
be served with a drink. In view
of these occurrences the paper
feels that it is called upon for an
announcement. It will take
wood, side saddles, lath, lime,
hair and caramels on subscrip-
ton, and is open to almost any
kind of a square business propo-
sition but until such time as the
office can secure a government
license at least and be convinced
that there is money in the bus
mess it must refrain from the
dispensing of strong drink.

Thrifty and Observing House
wife Threatens to Start
an Investigation.
ARE NOT Up TO STANDARD
PRESCRIBED BY LAW
Statement That Phey Have Been
Fixed in Several Cases
Arouses Much Interest.

A thrifty Bemidji housewife
who claims to have discovered a
wide discrepancy in the prevail
ing system Of local weights and
measures is causing something Of
a sensation at present by threat
ening to have the matter investi-
gated. The lady claims that she
has been taking careful note for
some time Of the weights and
measures in several places in the
city, has bought goods at one
place and weighed them at an
other and has discovered a start
ling discrepancy between the
scales of several business houses.
The charge is also made that in
some instances at least scales
have been tempered with to re-
suit in an increased revenue to
retailers.
Several prominent retailers
seen by the Pioneer this morning
treat the matter very lightly.
They say that the complaint is
one that is made periodically by
'crank" patrons. The law gov
erning weights and measures is
too stringent in it's provisions to
make it commendable or worth
while for even the most unscrupu-
lous business man to adopt any
such tactics as are charged by
the indignant housewife. It is
possible that the lady may have
received short weight at one or
more places through a defective
scale, but the charge that a regu
larly organized graft along that
line has been successfully prac-
ticed for some time is far fetched
and without foundation it is said.

from their repast long enough to
regard him with curiosity but
did not move away from the

Eggs and Butter at Top Notch

The ocalproduce market which

Of the city hotels have suspended
