Turn The Light On
North East, Sept. 20th, |

NoIth East, cept. %Vtil, I1V9.
Mr.. Editor:
In common with many of your
readers, | enjoyed the letter of Tax
payer" in the last issue of the Wing,
and it is to be hoped that, having
opened the door little way, Tax
payer will fling it open wide and let
us see all there is to be seen.
He is, evidently, in position to give
the public great deal of " inside in
formation and what the public wants
is THE LIGHT TURNED ON"
The gentlemen, led by Willie and
the King, who have been masquerade
ing as lovers of the dear people, and
who profess to be consumed by a de-
sire to promote the peoples good,
should have their masks stripped off
and, next to the versatile editor of the
Wing himself, | know no one who
seems more competent to perform the
job than Taxpayer"
What he has already told US of
Willie is calculated, | think, to give
that subServlent gentleman a chill and,
if Taxpayer will 90 on and tell US,
in his direct way, all he promises and
all | am told he knows, William will,
unless | am much mistaken, be frozen
stiff.
Give Us the precise figures, Tax
payer, of the amounts received by
Willie, when he fed at the public crib,
rot only rs Road Commissioner, but
in other ways. 1t will not only make
mighty interesting reading, bat may
serve to explain somewhat that i'll
creased tax rate, about which he prates
SO yolubiy.
Aofco"er, it may help TO stop his
inaginings about other peoples short
comlngs and give him more time to
devote to his own.
Everybody, OF course, knows, not
withstanding Willie's prat1g, that that
tax rate is largely the immediate con-
sequence and direct result Of Demo-
craft: debts and Democratic misman-
agemcnt, bat it will do no harm to
give us as many object lessons as pos
siblc, even if it should, thereby, happen
that Willie AND SOME OTHERS
are tumbIed from their pedestaIs.
And while taxpayer is about it
and has the opportunity and the abil-
ity to do it, why not give us some of
the facts showing the enormous ex-
penSeS Of a recent famous trial in this
Countrywide amateur detective bills,
the horse hire and extras, the padded
witness lists, etc.-all incurred under
DEMOCRATIC DIRECTION or
because of Democratic stupidity and
all dumped in on the Board OF County
Commissioners to be paid
Give us the names, Taxpayer" of
all the witnesses, big and little, sum-
moned to that trial and the names of
every person, big OR little, who re-
ceived witness certificate and the
amount thereof, on which payment
was demanded and received from the
Commissioners.
And while you are doing that,
couldn't you tell us who Willie's
body guard was on that "inky
night
Yours truly, PRO BONO.

GOOD SPIRITS.

Good spirits don all come from
Kentucky. Their main source is
the liver -and all the fine spirits
ever made in the Blue Grass State
could not remedy a bad liver or the
hundred-and-on i'll effects it pro-
duces. You can't have good
spirits and bad liver at the same
time. Your liver must be in fine
condition if you would feel buoy
ant, happy and hopeful, bright Of
eye, light of step, vigorous and sue
cessful in your pursuits. You can
put your liver in fine condition by
using Green's August Flower the
greatest of all medicines for the
liver and stomach and a certain
cure for dyspepsia or Indigestion.
1t has been a favorite household
remedy for over thirty-fve years.

SOME FIGURES.

IT is claimed in certain quarters that all the In
dians and majority Of the other people in Indian
Territory are favorable to Separate Statehood There
are 90, 900 Indian citizens the rolls as aotees in
the Five Civilized Tribes and is estimated that the
full voting strength Of this number will be onehtth
In order to demonstrate that all the Indians OF the
Territory are for Separate Statehood the vote tor the
constitution cast by Indian citizens alone must be 49,
ooo There is an estimated population in the Five
Nations exclusive of Indian citizens Of $40 which
gives voting strength Of 1913 600. II is asserted by
enthusiasts that large majority OF all the people are
now for Separate Statehood. TO demonstrate this
will require majority vote Of $4,000 something
above o. 900 exclusive of the Indian vote. The to-
tai vote in favor of the constitution necessary to prove
the claims Of the Separate State advocates must be 81
ooo 10 fall short Of this would be to meet defeat
and prove conclusively that the sentiment in Indian
Territory is not favorable to Separate Statehood Is

the weakest-that is to say, of the nominees of
the two great parties in this period Roosevelt
received the largest percentage of the popular
vote-5S-and Parker the smallest-39. Parker
carried ID States and Bryan, four years ago, II.
It is very evident that a considerable element
of the Democratic Party registered a protest
against the overthrow of Organism by voting for
other candidates, the three minor parties this
year showing material gains over 1900. "Watson",
we read "received his largest vote in Georgia.
His total vote in that State was 1854, with
2O.5O8 in Nebraska, being over one-third of his
aggregate, 114,637. Barker polled 5O,218 in 1900.
The Prohibition vote in 1900 was 2O8,791; in
November, 26O,3O3, a gain of 51,512. -Four years
ago the Socialists had an electoral ticket IN 80
States and polled s7,764. This year they had a
ticket in IS States and the Debs vote was 391,-
5S7."

Interesting Election Figures.

At last the official election returns from all
the f~orty-fve States have been published, and
they make very suggestive reading. In all
13, 5OS,496 votes were cast on November Sth,
against IL. 96S, STA four years ago. In the recent
election the strength of the several candidates
was as follows: Roosevelt, Republican, 1927, 632;
Parker, Democrat, 5,O8O,O54; Debs, Socialist,
391, 5S7; Swallow, Prohibitionist, 26O,3O3; Wat
son, Peoples, 114,637; Corregan, Socialist Labor,
33,453; Holcomb, Continental Labor, $50.
In it's study of these election returns the As
ISOLATED Press points some facts of such signifi-
canoe that we believe them more interesting
than anything else we could print here. AS to the
relative strength of Parker and Roosevelt we
quote:
Roosevelt received, over all, 1~,746,768, and
over Parker, 2,547, 579. In 1900 Mckinley had
467. O46 more than all the other candidates and
S59. 9S4 more than Bryan. The vote for Roose-
welt was 400, 1922 more than for Mckinley, while
that for Parker was 1,277, 772 less than for Bryan.
The Republicans made gains over their vote of
1900 in 80 States, and the official figures show
losses in Is. The total gains of the Republicans
were 732, O4S, and the total losses 3l2,249, net
gain 419, 799. The Democrats polled more votes
in eight States than in 1900, but less In 81. Their
total gains were 3O,792, and the total losses
1921, 491, net loss 100000"
The figures compiled by the New York World
show that Roosevelt was the strongest Presiden-
tial candidate since the Civil War and Parker

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE IT.

Stories of crime have had a large place in our
daily papers of late, and in so far as they have
been handled in sensational, yellow journal
style, the effect has probably been harmful. But
in journals of the better sort these news fea-
lures have carried their own moral. The princi-
pie laid down by Mr.. Hamilton w. Mabie as to
works of fiction applies no less forcibly to re-
ports of crime in our daily papers:
"What makes a story immoral is not that it
deals with immoral situations, but that it lacks
restraint in describing them, or emphasizes the
pleasure more than the responsiveness of the Of
Tense, or separates the punishment from the
transgression. The Scarlet Letter and adam
Bede' are examples of a profoundly moral treat
ment of immoral situations. If the effect of
reading a story is to make the transgression re-
pulsive or terrible by reason of it's moral conse-
quences it is safe to conclude that the spirit and
method of the story are sane"
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-01-03

general rising may be precipitated at any time.
L believe that the first news of a heavy disaster
to the Russian army in the East will herald such
a rising as will shake the bureaucracy to its
foundations"
This condition of affairs has not been improved
by the Cars recent reply to the Chernigov Fem
stvo. This body humbly petitioned for a general
meeting of the Zemstovs to consider needed gov
ernmental reforms. The Cars reply in sub
stance was, that it was none of their business and
he would hand down his autocratic powers unim-
paired to his son and heir.
There have been no important recent develop
ments in the struggle with Japan. Port Arthur
still holds out, and dog meat is a regularly rec
ognized article of diet among the besieged sol
diers. The severe cold in Manchuria, the Their
mometer going to 20 degrees below zero, pre-
vents any general engagement of the hostile
forces. It is probable that no other great bat
tie will occur for some weeks.

An Example Among Nations.

And our fundamental law applies to nations as
we'll as to men. Whatsoever a nation soweth, OF
that too it shall reap. Russia illustrates our
principle-for though it is big it is not great,
nor does its bulk denote strength any more than
the fatty degeneration of the drunkard. The st.

Congressional Affairs.

Congress will reasonable this week. Interest
centres in the demand for charging the powers
of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and
it is believed that a long step in this direction
will be taken, either at this session of Congress
or very early in the next. The bill for reducing
Southern representation in the House is making
poor progress: it certainly will not pass this
time, and probably never will. Nor is there a
very bright prospect for the success of the State
hood bill. The irreparable blunder in the admis-
sion of Nevada, giving it's half dozen wild mining
towns the same representation in the United
States Senate as a great State like New York,
has taught a lesson not likely to be forgotten
soon. The Latimer good roads measure has been
reported favorably. 1t cannot pass, however, for
the Solons have at last been seized by a fit of
economy and are trimming down all appropria-
ton bills. 1t is also of general interest to note
that Chauncey M. Depew has overcome the form
liable opposition to his reelection as Senator
from New York and will now certainly succeed
himself.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-01-03
The Fundamental Law, Moral and Material.

Judged by Mr.. Mabie's standard the stories
that we have recently had have not been immoral.
Punishment" says Emerson, "is a fruit that
ure that conceals it." But this is not truer than
that other principle which is at the bottom of all
agricultural practice and is the fundamental
law in things moral as well as material: "What-
soever a man soweth, that also shall he reap"
And both principles have been very strikingly
illustrated in the stories of Mrs. Chadwick, Nan
Patterson, II. III. Rogers and Thomas w. Dewey.
For a time Mrs. Chadwick's schemes flourish
ed beyond the widest dreams of the romancer;
her forged and worthless paper was accepted un-
questioningly by fnanciers and bankers; she
lived like a queen. But it could not last. "Noth-
ing false. nothing artificial, can endure" The
corrupt tree could not bring forth good fruit.
Mrs. Chadwick, exposed, Inundated, faces the
new year from a prisons cell. Nan Pattersons
story of sin and shame also teaches its own les
son-her accomplice dead, either by his own
hand or hers. and the woman's life now tremb-
ling in the balance. III. H.. Rogers and others
probably thought themselves safe in the colossal
schemes of bribery and corruption which make
up the story of "frenzied finance" but exposure
has followed inevitably, and with it loss OF pres
tige and reputation. Thomas W. Dewey OF our
own State for years cheated justice and might
almost have fancied himself secure from our
great fundamental law; but now he comes back
to his native heath, shorn of his honors, berett OF
his friends, haggard, hunted, and heartbroken,
his life blighted and blasted in it's prime.

In Memoriam.

In memory of GertIe Olds, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Odds, Union
CITY, KY, who died Dec. Sth, aged ten
years.
Why the cruel hand of death should
lay his ley fingers upon one so pure.
so happy and idolized by loving par
ents, We are unable to understand.
But He who gave us this little rosebud
saw fit to call her back to celestial
home. The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away; blessed be His holy
name"
Gertie was a favorIte at home, at
church and at school, possessing a
bright mind, gentle. affable and having
kind word and sweet smile for every
one. Punctual in her every duty, both
at home and at school had endered her
to the hearts of everyone. To know
her was to love her.
Her parents and little brother whom
she has left behind, have the deepest
sympathy or the entire community.
To the dear ones left behind let me
say, that, you can not bring her back
but you can go to her.
May you so live that when the angel
of death shall summon you to that
Heavenly Court, you will be prepared
to enter in at the strait gate, where
your darling little girl will be the first
to greet you.
And now farewell dear little Critic,
Thou art free from sin and care,
Gone to live with little Angels,
In that Heaven so bright ana fair

The Lemon Cure.

From correspondent to Home and
Farm Is taken the following, which is
termed the lemon cure for consumption.
Put a dozen whole lemons in cold
water and boil until soft mot too soft, J
roll and squeeze until all the juice is
extracted, sweeten the juice enough
to be palatable, and drink. Use as
many as a dozen a day. Should they
cause pain or looseness of the bowels,
lessen the quantity, and use five or
six day until better, then begin and
use a dc zen again. BY the time yen
have used five or six dozen you will
begin to gain strength and appetite
OF course, as YOU get better you need
not use SO many. Follow these direction
and we know you will never regret it if
there is any help for you. Only keep
it up faithfully. Weknow of two cases
where both the patients were given
up by the physicians, and were in the
last stages of consumption, yet both
were cured by using lemons according
to directions we have stated. One
lady in particular was bedridden andvery
low, had used everything that money
could procure. but all ilviiI when. to
please friend, she was persuaded to
use them in February, and in April
she weighed lao pounds. She is strong
woman to-day, and likley to live as long
as any of u.s."
