JAMES B. M'CREARY
IN MARION WEDNESDAY
WAS MET At The TRAIN BY MANY
ENTHUSIASTIC FOLLOWERS
Spoke al the Opera House In The
AilGFnOOn..-InlrOduCed By J. G.
Rochester

Senator James b McCreary, candi.
date for reelection, spoke at the Opera
House, Wednesday afternoon He was
introduced by j. G. Rochester.
lie was met at the train by many
enthusiastic followers, and was driven
to the hotel in the omnibus draped with
bunting and flags. The Lola brand
furnishing music for the occasion.
The following are a few of the
thoughts he presented.
This country Of ours is the greatest
on earth and is the home Of liberty low
ing people and Kentucky is one the
greatest commonwealth in the country,
but is now one OF those boss ridden
machine governed" states.
/ We heartily agree with him that
"Bossism" is not confined altogether
TO the Republican party, for we do not
have TO leave our own state to find AN
example.
In referring to the ways and means
that were used to rid Maryland. Mis-
souri, Ohio and other states Of Bossism.
we feel and believe that he unjustly
called the late Senator Hanna, boss in
Ohio politics. The more the people Of
that state and the country at large
knew of Hanna, the more he was ad-
mired. We feel that Senator Nc Creary
should let the dead rest in peace. and
go after some Of the live ones Of his
party II he wants to put bossism out Of
the way.
He said that the state had been ruled
by machine" for the past few years
and this same machine had created II
new Offices, ordered primary election
for the nomination Of senator 2 years
and eight months before he takes his
seat, 80, that il will take place while
he (Beckham) is still in Office. and it
had appropriated q, ,csO, ,coO ior = aew
capital building when the contract was
made for sss0,OOO.
He Is alright on the temperance ques-
ton and said he was more than willing
10 have his character compared with
that Of the Governor. He said that
Beekham had accepted money for cam
paign purposes, from one Of the big
gest beer and whisky men in the state
and also, that he failed to vote In the
local option election in his own county.
On account Of most all the senator's
being men Of over sixty. he seemed to
think, should Beekham be elected, be
would be lonely, ''as lonely as can be, Z"
because Of his unmatured years and in
experience.

stocked with fine fish. / go fishing

II see this county has done one
smart thing and want to congratulate
the county officers or whoever is re-
sponsible. You have repaired the old
court house and saved the county

acquaintance Of James Fiddler Flanary
and buy a slip Of paper from him. He
will sell it to you cheaper now than he
will the last Of next week. The sheriff
Of Crittenden county has about $50, 900
tocollect this year. He has collected a
little over $4,000, and at the rate the
collections have been coming in he es-
Inmates that there will be not over

the importance Of paying their taxes

POSTAL COMMISSION.
Packed In Interest OF Railroads and
Against Newspapers.

Against Newspapers
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden is trying very hard to help the
railroads who are subsidized by Re
publican congress. He lately appeared
before the United States postal com
mission, which is investigating the al
legged violation Of the law by publica-
tions enjoying the one cent postage
rate. The commission consists of Sen
ators Penrose Of Pennsylvania, Clay
of Georgia and Carter Of Montana and
Representatives Overstreet of Indiana,
Gardner Of New Jersey and Moon
of Tennessee. Madden charges that
most of the S14,o00,000 deficit in pos
tai receipts is chargeable to publica-
tions that have unlawfully taken adj
vantage of the one cent rate. If this
were true, Madden. is to blame for al
lowing unlawful advantage being tax
en- Of the law. but the facts do not
warrant any such charge, for the law
has been interpreted by Madden as
much as possible against the newspa-
pers and other publications. The deficit
is caused by the enormous price paid
the railroads for carrying the mail and
the plunderng by the railroads charg-
ing exopbitant rents for mail cars and
also by the rapid increase of the rural
free delivery routes.
One dollar a hundred pounds is a
good price for carrying sacks of news
paper mail, and many of the greater
newspapers are. sending their news
papers for. the news agents by express
or fast freight at a lower rate. The
railroads for the year ending June 30,
1904, the last official report received
for carrying the mails S44.499.732 and
for the same period the express com
panies paid the railroads S41,ST5, CSC.
The weight of the express MATES car
ried must exceed the weight of the
mail carried many times. which indi-
Gates how the railroads, by the aid Of
a co1nplaeent Republican congress, are
paid subsidies far greater than the
service is fairly and reasonably worth.
Newspaper publishers should keep
their eyes open to the Investigations of
this Joint committee Of congress, of
whom all the Republican members are
notoriously railroad sympathizers, and
see that the mali facilities Of neWspa-
pers are not recommended to be cur
tailed or abolished. The pub4e, Is in

present cheap rate, as any advance IN
the rate of postage will have to be
