MANY INDICTMENTS
Found Against Prominent Men in
Knox County.

London. Ky. Dec. 1S.-Great ex-
element has been caused az Bar
boursyille over the finding OF q doz-
en- o. more indictments for bribery
IN the late Republican primary cleo
ton against some prominent men OF
Knox county
commemorative Attorney William
Lewis. who lives here. has come
home from Barboursville. and said
that the following indictments had
been brought by the grand jury, and
that he himself had prepared them
Flsm d. Sampson, county Judge
elect; c. c. Smith. county clerk
elect; Ben +, Parker, school super
lntendent-elect; George Buchanan,
jailer-elect; j. w. Hephlll, we'll
known salesman for the Elizabeth
town Milling company; Or. Hersheld,
well known physicians Pat Black,
and Hays Green. prominent politl-
clans, besides some others less prom
inen5.
All these men are charged with
either furnishing or receiving money
TO be used in the primary election
held in November, 1904 lktle over
a year ago. Although three courts
have passed before this term since
the primary election was held and
the grand jury was given the same
instructions, no indictments for thi>
oifense were made.
Ii Is well known that these Ia
dlctments are direct results of spe-
clal efforts of Judge Faulkner, and
consequently the men indicted and
their friends are furlously indignant
at the judge, and some of them pub
llcly threaten him and declare he
win be assasslnated If he pushes the
prosecutions further

Surely there can be no seriousness
in the attempt TO place the statue OF
Goebel in the hall of fame. While h
lived only few satellites recognized
or pretended TO recognize in him any
thing but ability as politician. and
that ability tending to methods that
could hardly commend themselves to
men who recognized fairness and
good faith as principles that were
worth observing, He possessed not
a single Characteristic OF the great
man except determination to achieve
his ends. In the great man that de-
termination would work itself out in
fort along a plane that would COM
mand respect as we'll as admiration
and which would rebound TO his ho-
nor when the goal was won. In Goe-
bel it took the shape of anything and
everything that could promise sue.
cess and he even appeared at his
greatest strength when pursuing
some devious path toward his oh.
Ject. Magnanlmlty is a part OF Inc
great man. He would scorn success
attained by such means as Goebel u.s.
ed and permitted to be used in the
Music Hall convention. for instance
1t Is difficult to say as little as viii
suffice in considering this subject
but once for al the selection of tn
but once for all the selection of the
Clay in the hall of fame would lay d
mark of shame on Kentucky, which
has so many names worthy TO shine
in marble as they do in the priated
page. Let us hear no more of Goebel
in this connection. If his worshiperi
want to continue their idolatry. much
of which is as insincere as Goebel was
insincere, let them do it, but let moi
the great majority of the people
of Kentucky suffer for their idolatry

The Democrats in the general coun.
ell know how the election of two
of the six officials was brought about
last Friday. They know that 1t was
done by fraud. and no matter who is
guilty of IL, or who guiltless. 1t will
not prevent every honest man who
wants to do the square thing, from
approving or disappearing the
coup" The boards are Just as they
were then-ten and ten. Why not
declare the election of these two off,
Gals off, and hold other elections?
The Democrats will have the same
chance they had before, and the Re
publicans will have no advantages
to which they were not entitled be-
fore. These elections Will not be le-
gal unless officially recorded, and
they cannot be officially recorded un-
III the minutes of the meeting at
which they took place are approved
and signed. Ii Is in the power of the
Republican members to prevent
The approval of these minutes. If the
Democratic members do not approve
of the way the elections in question
were brought about, however. they
can take the Initiative by suggesting
a reconsideration, and show the peo-
pie where they stand. II none of
them does it, he will have to face
the accusation of secretly approving
OF the miserable affair.

KENTUCKY AND HER RIVERS.


= Contributing s25.0oO,O00 year
to federal revenue, standing fourth
among the states as an income pro
Queer for Uncle Sam, Kentucky has a
right to generous consideration from
the treasury of the United States,
says the Louisville Herald. If we got
this year but $25,0OO.0O0 for the
Ohio river and tributaries out
of $3.50, 100000 we pay in
ten years into the national treasury,
what substantial good we could
achieve for state and nation! A con-
vention of the National River and
Harbor Association is to be held in
Washington on January ! . next The
largest gathering in the history of
the association is looked for by the
promoters of the assembly. Delegates
from the Ohio valley, the Tennessee
valley the Mississippi valley and 9th
er important fluyial as well as lake
regions will be there. There will be
few if, in fact, any states dnrepre-
scented. The association has in hand
the solution of problems national in
character, motive and design.
Louisville ought 10 be particularly
well represented. Republicans as
well as Democrats of high business
standing should be sent. Business
men like Morris b. Belknap. Theo-
dore Ahrens, c. c. Mengel and 9th
ers of that class can best present the
case of Kentucky to an appreciative
and discriminating assembly. This Is
a case whose fortunes largely depend
on It's advocates.
There is a movement in Washing
ton, to which The Herald has already
called attention TO suppress for this
year a rivers and harbors appropria-
tion bill. The Washington conven-
ton will show congress and the coun-
try that a cessation of waterway inn
provements for year or more
would be a grave and even dangerous
step backward.
We have been spending of late
years S1S,O00.O00 for river and har-
Dor Improvements, or 100000
less than Kentucky gives in one year
TO the national treasury. and OF the
$S,OOO,OO0 yearly on rivers
and harbors all over the
country Kentucky never gets but a
bagatelle. What a howl if any one
proposed 10 cut down the pension
outlay of s150,O0O,0OO a year or the
naval outlay of SOC, 100000 annual
~! Yet Kentucklans will be suppos-
ed 10 swallow in silence the total cut
ting off of the niggardly sum voted
for her river Improvements. No par
~ rule nor fractional lash shall keep
The Herald silent on the face of an
outrage so provoking, walton and
itrocious.

Some are complaining because the
Democratic members of congress
from Kentucky. have not Jared so
well as they might have desired in
the committee appointments. They
have probably done well enough,
however, There is no need to put
Democrats on any more committees
than necessary, as they obstruct ev-
erything when they get chance and
do little except try to harass and de-
lay the administration. The country
Is Republican and the administration
is Republican, and what 1t wants to
do is carry out Republican princi-
pies. something that the Democrats
neither understand nor approve of.
Why should the Democrats, then,
be accorded any more courtesies than
they show? Kentucky. If the people
would elect Republican congressman.
would always fare well on congress
sional committees, and Kentucky
could get a great deal more than
now, because if the congressman were
Republicans they would be put on
more committees and be in a better
position to demand more. The peo-
Pile of Kentucky elect their Demo-
cratic congressman. and should not
complain if the preference is given
the Republican congressman by a
Republican administration.

The court of appeals Saturday
knocked out Louisville's new license
tax. which may not in itself be sig
nificant, as another ordinance may
to some extent rectify the error. The
law governing such things is thus
laid down by the appellate court,
however: by the ordinance in
question it will be observed that
sliding scale is made to. merchants
and manufacturers and that the taX
decreases with the amount of the
sales or manufactured product. In
other words. the merchant or manu-
facturer of small means is made TO
pay a tax at higher rate than the
merchant or manufacturer of larger
means. The constitution allows no
such discrimination The rich and
the poor must be taxed alike. There
cannot be one rate for the larger
merchant and different rate for a

jacksonville Thieves.

Madisonville, Ky, Dec. 1S.-Two
burglaries which We're without profit
to the burglars occurred here when
Thompson e. Hankins' and the Mad
isonville Flour mills were entered
and ransacked by thieves ]. w
Thompson, of Thompson & Hawkins,
and George II. Johnson, manager OF
the jacksonville Milling company
stated Saturday that the thieves were
evidently disappointed in not find
ing what they were looking for, as
nothing was missing in either mill.
At the jacksonville mill the safe
was opened and the contents scatter
ed over the floor. The cash box was
torn loose but 1t contained nothing Of
value. The combination of the safe
was broken several years ago By bur-
glars and has never been repaired,
the company keeping nothing in the
safe but books and papers and using
merely the ordinary lever lock to
keep the door closed in case of fire.
