BLACKBURN
Authorized Statement of
the Senator's Position.

The following is an authorized
statement from Senator 10. c. 5.
Blackburn, published in the Louis
vile Courier Journal:
"Ip view of the fact that many
misleading statements. and ire
sponsible interviews are being at
tributed to me, and realizing that
1 will have to contend with this
same trouble in the future, / want
to make a plain and unequivocal
statement as to my position in the
fight now in progress. believe
that the domination of the machine
now assailing me, means ruin to
the Democratic party. / believed
this year ago when they sent to
me and offered me their support in
my race tor the Senate on condi-
ton that would let them alone.
So sure was I that the triumph of
this machine meant a turning over
of the State to the Republicans that
l refused their offer and notified
them then that l proposed to make
war on them until their power was
destroyed, no matter what the con-
sequences might be to my personal
fortunes. Feeling as 1 did, would
have been traitor to my party to
have surrendered to what l knew
to be the most dangerous and most
inscriptions coalition that was
ever formed to throttle free express
sion of the people In consequence
of my refusal 1 have today their
bitter and malignant opposition,
and 1 would rather ten thousand
times 60 down in defeat in trying
to save my state and party, than
win with their help. Iwant il dis
tinctly and emphatically understood
that from now until all the nomina-
tons for the Legislature are made,
l shall be on the stump, dong all
in my power to awaken the people
to their danger. From that time
on my best endeavors shall be Civ
en- to help elect every Democratic
nominee whether he is for or
against me. My Democracy is too
we'll known for any one to doubt
my absolute loyalty to my party at
all times, and / shall be found
fighting its battles as long as there
is breath in my body whether it
returns me to the Senate or not.
"My position briefly. then, is
this: Believing that the supremacy
of the machine means turning over
the State to the Republicans as
certainly as the sun rises in the
east, l shall fight it to the last
ditch. l want to 60 back to the
Senate, and feel sure that I shall,
but if my seat depends on ceasing
to warn my people of their danger,
would gladly sacrifice it. Every
Democratic nominee for the Legis-
lature may feel sure of my earnest
and hearty support no matter how
he stands in the senatorial race,
and when my party has acted in
the matter of selecting state tick
ct, l will be found standing by her
standard no matter if it may seem
doomed to ignominous defeat

There is noquestion but that the
United States is a great nation and
even a world power, but its
greatness has never been acquired
by force of arms, by the strength
of its army or toe size of its navy.
Even when the Philippines were
acquired from a conquered enemy
the United States paid $40, ooo.-
600 flor them instead of taking
them by force or might, as other
nations have acquired increased

For years preliminary cclebra-
ton of the glorious Fourth by
street urchins of various social
grades has been both a public nu'-
sance and a public peril. The
noise has been a g.rievous burden
to the nerves of all except the
most stolid natures, but the dan
ger of fire to property and person
al injury to pedestrians, espc clally
women, has been the most serious
peril. There is no reason under
the sun why for a month preced-
ing the Fourth of July in every
year the irresponsible street boy
should be allowed to violate the
law without h%indrance, yet that
is what he has been doing for
many years. New York Globe.
