In the last National campaign
Mr.. Perkins, Of the New York
Life Company, contributed S48,
1872 to the Republican campaign
fund. This fact was brought to
light a few days ago and indi-
Gates that the Company felt more
interest in the success of politi-
cal party than a fair deal and
protection for it's policy holders.
Such Investigations may lead to
further revelations, not alone in
this great company but in others.
At least it has turned public gaze
to the expensive and extravagant
management of so called mutual in

The people of Burkesville.
headed by Prof. Charles R.
Hunt, are getting in earnest
along educational lines. They
have decided to build a large do,-
mitory for young men and to of
fer every inducement and ad-
vantage possible to give in a
good country town. More than
fifty of the best people of Burks-
vile and vicinity have pledged
themselves to bring in some stu
dents and unless these gentle
men relax their efforts success
is bound to follow. The schools

frauds, by two to one, are COM
mitten under the secret ballot
plan than under the viva voc e
plan. He says that it is possible
under secret ballot for few men
to absolutely control elections by
a few neatly executed frauds
and that no way has been found
to circumvent them, whereas,
under the viva voce system each
voter has his name recorded and
can Gee that his name is properly
entered. If a contest results un-
der the viva voce system the re-
cord shows how each man voted,
thus greatly lessening the oppor-
tunity for fraud. There could
under this sytem be no wholesale
perverSion of the public as under
the secret ballot, cast in secret
and counted in secret. The ad-
vocates of the retention of t h e
present system argue that corpo-
rationS will be able to control
elections by coercing their en-
ployes to vote as they dictate,
but even that would not be de-
plorable as to have dishonest cleo
ton officers set aside the express
ed will of the voters as they can
and do under the secret ballot.
The question is to be voted on
in the coming November election
when we hope the nefarious sys-
tenn will be stricken from the
constitution and laws for all time
to come.

U. S, Senatorship. Both are
men of ability and entitled to
support, and neither are greater
than the party or many other
men who have met defeat.
More talk about the good graces
of the man of your choice and
less abuse of the friends of the
other candidate would doubtless
reflect more credit and bring
better results. The News is too
far South for an effectual posi-
tlon in Kentucky Democracy to
attack or retreat in this battle,
but not too far to see the troubles
that may prolong the next ses-
sion of our Legislature and prove
costly both to party and State.
How nicely a primary would
work in this contest.
The Adair County news., 1905-09-27

Throughout the entire State, in
every county and nearly every
precinct, the voters have been
reminded of the uncertainties of
the returns under the secret way
of voting, since the work has
been done behind the curtains.
Dissatisfaction, wrangles and
bitterness have arisen over the
appointment Of election officers,
from Judge to chalengers.
Disputes and contests have pre-
vailed. Ballot boxes have some
times come up missing, results
changed and fragrant frauds
backed victories. 1t seems that
we are growing no better aw-
fully fast, and if the present
system must prevail, we may ex-
pect innumerable contentious
yet IN our future contests. I'm
der the old system, the books
told the story. Who would not
desire peace to wrangles, honest
results to fraudulent returns, and
settlements to contests? The
way is plain, return to the old
way. Vote for a change in the
Constitution this Fall.

We have never heartily favor

its expense to those who seek po-

OF whom are at great disadvant-

.Up to tn S good hour we are
still of the same opininion, when
applied to State and local contests,
but since there has been great
clamor for the election of U. S.

pears that a party primary by
the dominant party in each State
would practically meet this, de-
mand-a demand made by the

rejected by the Senate. Virginia

THE REGENT DECISION


 EDITOR FORUM: In your issue of May 6, note the instruction of Com missioner J. Lindley Green to the jury in the criminal case of the United States vs s. R. Hudson, which plainly shows the condition of the imaginative brain of that natural born" lawyer. I challenge the learned jurist" to show legal authorities bearing him out in such instruction.
 While jury is bound to receive as law what is laid down as such by the court, it is taken for granted that the court will not wilfully and maliciously misinterpret or misrepresent the law. This is not the first time Commissioner J. Lindley Green has created a false impression by giving some wild in struction, claiming it to be the law and Supreme court decision; and, as in the above case, unable to produce authority.
 While judge is not held criminally liable for such action, it being consid cred judicial error, it certainly shows his incompetency. But so much of like rot has been shown up pertaing to both Green and Wickersham, that they are becoming jealous of each others notor- iety and are trying to outshine each other. It is a common occurance for the appellate court to reverse Wicker sham, and Greens instruction in the Hudson case is subject to the same treatment as Judge Cooks received in the Stoll case in California.
 wrote. personal letter to Judge Wickersham last summer asking him if his decision making John Minook, an Indian half breed, citizen of the Uni ted States, gave John Minook the legal right to receive whiskey. Wicksrsham failed to say that it did. His local rep resentative, Commissioner J. Lindley Green, now answers the question in the affirmative, and goes still further by holding that an Indian woman becomes an American citizen upon marrying citizen; can separate from her husband live and associate thereafter with Ind ians, and still be legally entitled to re- ceiye whiskey.

DEEP SINKING ON
 MCDONALD BAR

Welsh & Goslaw and Allen & Calham have two shafts well under way to bed- rock on Mcdonald b.r. Last Monday these shafts were in gravel and were 40 and 65 feet respectively. It is now expected that that before bedrock is reached it may be necessary to sink over 100 feet.
 Some years ago a number of shafts sunk on Idaho bar reached over 120 feet before bedrock was struck. Last year Frank & Graham sunk on Califor- bar, which lies between Idaho bar and Mcdonald bar. After sinking through muck and gravel to over 100 feet they quit before bedrock was reached

repealed nor amended that section of the act relating to the giving or selling liquor to Indian or half breed. The criminal code for Alaska as it now reads speaks for itself, and should not be yelled with imaginary laws existing only in the brain of Commissioner J. Lindley Green.
 l claim that neither Wickersham nor Green have the legal power to amend or appeal the criminal laws of Alaska, which were created by congress, nor have they the legal right to give such instructions to a jury as would annul any section thereof. By considering the peculiar circumstances brought about through existing relations as husband and wife, the courts might overlook a violation of the law by eith- CT one as towards the other. but cer- tainly cannot grant to others the privi- lege of criminal intimacy or action in connection with either such husband or wife. No doubt this learned commits sioner realizes that his judicial career is speedily drawing to a close, and is now courting the sympathy and favor of the Indians no doubt the latter will receive as ''big medicine man.
