THE RACE ISSUE FOLLY.
Globe. Democrat.


Some Of the extremists among the
southern papers are spplauding the
race issue plank in the platform OF the
Maryland Democrats. This is the
first time" says the New Orleans Pic
ayune, that great national party
since the Civil war has formally de
clared for white supremacy. and the
example is going TO be followed by
other southern states, ana probably by
all. President Roosevelt has, by his
recognition of social equality with ne.
groes, created such unsettled condi.
lions that the race question and the
race problem, which but few years
ago were supposed to be confined 10
the southern states, have become ma
tional in their scope and bearing"
OF course all this is folly. If the
southern states want to raise the race
issue again the Republican party will
offer no objection. The Republican
party will meet the Democracy on this
issue if t3at party be mad enough to
indorse Ma-ylands outgiving. But
every reasonable person knows that
neither President Roosevelt nor the
Republican party is responsible for
this Eruption of snti-negro sentiment
in the south. Neither the president
nor his party wants to establish any
thing like race equality in the social
sense. Neither has ever attempted to
do il.
The outcome Of the issue which is
raised by the negro hsters will be that
the Republican majority in every Re
publican state will be increased, all
the doubtful northern states will be
carried by the Republicans, and the
silver issue now being shelved, every
state in the west, including the solita.
~ four which went to Bryan in 1900,
will cast their votes for the Republi-
can party. Possibly the Republicans
may lose Mary land on this issue. Blu,
even il they do this, and also lose
West Virginia. which is decidedly uw'
likely, 1t will be simply the solid
north against the solid south, and this
will mean an immense majority for
the Republican party in the electoral
college. The one party in the country
which will be hit always and under
all CIRCUMSTANCES byb the SECTIONAL is

that there has been large item OF ex-
pense for advertising. The Evening
Post has given to the enterprise dur
ing the past year . vast amount OF free
reading notioes--column after column
of matter intended to advertise the
fair, for which nothing whatever has
been paid. We believe that has been
the course followed by the other news
papers, at least of Louisville. The
newspapers themselves, we think, will
be interested in knowing Just now
this large expense for advertising. %.
900 greater this year than last, has
been incurred.
Other papers can doubtless say the
same thing, hence if $1,000 more than
last year was spent for advertising,
what sort Of advertising was it? The
Owensboro Inquirer says the best
thing to do is for the next Legislature
to repeal the fair bill, and adds
"When the state sair bill was before
tho legislature the conservative news
papers of the state called attention &c
it as a dangerous piece of legislation,
opening the gate of graft and fsvorit
ism little wider. This warning was
timely, but it was not needed. The
Hon. Abe Renaker, a member of the
Live Stock Breederes' association, had
the matter in hand and he was able to
pull it through. Two fairs have been
held under the law. No good has been
done to the state and the two eommu.
mites in which the fair was held got
the worst of it. Unless the law can
be amended 80 o. to make the direct.
ors and others responsible for misman-
agement and waste the act creating
the state fair ought to be repealed-in
fact, il ought to be repealed anyhow. I"

GERMAN SYRUP.

We want 10 impress on our readers
that Boschee's German Syrup is posi-
lively the only preparation on the
market today that does relieve and
cure consumption. 1t contains the
specifics, such as pure tar, extracts Of
gums, etc, which have been 30 highly
endorsed for the cure of coughs, colds
and consumption by the great medical
congresses. The consumptive, whether
his disease is in the throat or lungs,
must have rest at night. and be free
from the spasm of dry and rskine
cough in tho morning. The diseased
parts want rest, healing and soothing
treatment, and the patient needs fresh
air, good food. etc. German Syrup
will give free and easy oxpectoratiop
in the morning with speedy and per-
manent relief. Small bottles, 25
cents; regular size, containing nearly
four times as much, "a cents. At all

ABOLISH THE FAIR.

The recent state fair at Oweusboro
continues to be the engrossing topic at
Owensboro. and the merchants who
guaranteed $4,000 TO get it held a
meeting and decided not to pay their
pledges unless they are allowed to look
at the books and satisfy themselves
that gross Encouragement was not to
blame for the fairs financial failure
They claim that the failure was due
to veokless management, while the
fair directors claim the people simply
did not patronizs the fair. and a mis-
take was made IN ever holding it in a
place SO provincial and located in a
section so thinly populated.
Both are perhaps right-in part, at
least. The state fair is only another
one of the late CRAFTS provided by the
Democrats of Kentucky to furnish sim
ecures for their friends anu relatives

cess because there is too mcuh induce
ment to make it an aggregation of soft
snaps. The money appropriated by
the state as we'll as that guaranteed by
outsiders. will no doubt be reoklessly
wasted ev,ry year because there is no
way to prevent il. aud because the
state fair managers would in all prob
ability not fool with the work if there
wasn't something in It for them.

reports have been current in the
past few days that Wall street is be-
hind the few labor magnat.s who are
opposing ths President for saying, in
the Miller case, that the statutes Of
the United States must be paramount
to the laws of any labor or any other
sort OF association. This Is the "open
shop" issue which some of the labor
leaders have been trying to inject into
politics. 1t would please the trust
magnates OF Wall street to see the
President defeated in the national
convention. They are working for
that end with all the resources at their
command, knowing that if he Is
nominated he will certainly be elected
and that his campaign against the
trusts in the next four years will be
harder than 1t has been thus far until
he brings them under the control Of
the law.
This league between the trust bosses
and q few labor leaders is the sort of
an alliance which will quickly be
knocked out when the people get .
chance at it. The vast majority of
the members Of the labor societies
know that the words Of the Knights of
Labor in praise Of the Presidents are
true. President Roosevelt sis the
