ACCORDING to the New York
Sun there is new and amusing
element in the packing house
strike situation that has perhaps
never before appeared in strike
in this country. The strikers
are, many of them, striking only
because they were ordered to
strike and because they are
afraid to disobey their leaders.
Their hearts are not in the strike
and they are willing to deceive
their leaders to get work. This
situation is taken advantage of
by the boss strike breakers who
are playing the East against the
West to great advantage.
Strikers from Chicago are being
taken to New York where they
become non-union strike break
ers and are put to work to make
steaks for themselves and the
public. The New York strikers
ranks have been greatly depleted
in the same operation and the
missing strikers have landed in
good nonunion jobs in Chicago
and other western cities. History
is but repeating itself, but with
lgreater emphasis, that radical
and violent strikes are in the
long run loosing games.

THURSDAY. AUG. IS. 1904.

AN unfortunate political de-
bate occurred at Glenwood Park
Chautauqua, near Louisville,
Saturday afternoon. Cham p
Clark, Democratic congressman
from Missouri, and Chas. B.
Lands, a Republican speaker
from Indiana, were the partici-
pants. The worst partisan feel
ing that has disgraced Kentucky
in past years was stirred and the
Democratic speaker, who had
but recently enjoyed the high
= Moffpeaking at Esopus to
gieohdge Parker of his NOM
-4ation, so lost his head on a
chautauqua assembly platform
that he threatened to kill Ken
lucky newspaper man who con-
ytradicted a vile charge made by
tthe speaker against Kentucky
Republicans. Mr.. Clark had just
said: "You Republicans of Ken
lucky have countenanced and
upheld murder and murderers."
Mr.. R. r. Perry, editor of the
Winchester Sun-Sentinel shouted
"That is false" Congressman
Clark became enraged and walk
ing towards Mr.. Perry shouted
back this threat: "If you say
that on the outside of this tent /
will cut your throat from ear to
ear" This is unfortunate and
such an episode must rob a
speaker of all dignity. Can not
Kentucky political speakers or
political speakers in Kentucky
pitch their campaigns upon a
higher plain than that of false
hood and calumny and calling of
names. The small boy with fin
gers at his nose, who yells
"Schoolbutter" at his youthful
antagonist, is as logical. There
is no argument in ''you did" or
"you didn't" "you would" or
"you wouldn't" There is moth
ing but evil in the common prac-
tice of many small politicians in
making appeals to the passions
the prejudices and the ignorance
of their partisan followers. The
curse of it all is that such poll
ticians are moved by one motive
only-vote getting. Such would
not halt at anything to gain the
one desired end. Such men of
any party deserve the condemna-
ton Of all good citizens.

THIRD TO BE LAST?
Doubt as to Movement Of Regiments
Equipment In Order.

The Louisville soldiers Will
most likely go to st. Louis to at
tend the encampmeht of the Ken
lucky State Guard, about the
first of September. While no
official notice has been received,
it has been learned from a relia-
BILE private source, says the
Louisville Times, that the local
militiamen will be the first lot Of
the Kentucky state guard to go
into camp. The probable sched-
ule will be for the First regiment
to go into camp about the first of
the month, the Second regiment
about the 18th, and the Third
regiment about the Goth.
Each regiment will remain in
camp eight days.
Adjt. Gen. Percy Haly has is
sued an order to commanders of
the regiments and artillery bat
talon of the Kentucky State
Guard directing them to have all
of the equipment put in first
class order for the encampment.
BY direction of the governor
all line officers are advised that
the enlisted men of each COM
pany are hereby ordered to put
their equipments in first-class
condition In the following man
ner:
First-The rifle, bayonet, scab-
bard, buckles, plates and buttons
on blouses must be thoroughly
cleaned with the cleaning ma
terial furnished in boxes. These
articles cannot be moved out of
the armory.
Second-The haversack, can
teen, web belt and leggins must
be scrubbed with boiling hot
water, which will result in max
ing them clean and white. These
articles may be removed from the
armory for this purpose for few
days.
Third-No private marking or
lettering of any kind whatsoever
is permitted on any hat or cloth
ing or any article of property.
Fourth-As soon as the above
instructions have been fully COM
piled with each company COM
mander will write his indorse-
ment hereon to that effect and
return same to these headquar-
ters.
Fifth-An officer will be de-
tailed within a reasonable time
to infinitely inspect each COM
pany to see that this order is ac-
curately carried out.

after a little further loss on some po-
