 During the years that he struggled to make for himself a name and for tune Pearson never forgot the dis- grace and ignomy of A sentence im- posed upon him in Clay County Ala, in 1876. He determined to free his name of the odium that a conviction for hog stealing placed upon it He secured the assistance of influential friends, and 1t was an easy matter to convince the Chief Executive of Texas, as well as the National and State Rep resentatives. that he is a good citizen and has amply atoned for the crime he Is alleged to have committed.
 Pearson was found, guilty of stealing a hog valued at $s. He was sentenced to serve two years in the State peni- tentiary. Soon after being sent to the penitentiary he made his escape and fled to Palestine, Texas, where he has since lived an exemplary life. In his proclamation relieving Pearson of the sentence. the Governor restores to him all of his rights of citizenship.

Men Leave A Shin.

Because they did not believe they were being given the quality of food which they should receive, nine men of the United States dredge boat Cau- GUS, stationed in this cIcy, left the ship Thursday night without warning, and today the boat is anchored as a local wharf where she will be obliged to remain until more men are sent Cap tain Dunn from Washington.
 The men who struck were Italians and Creeks, six being firemen and three coal passers. There has been some dissatisfaction expressed over the food given the men for some time but the officers state that the men received the best the local market afforded and were given exactly the same quantity and quality that the officers were giv- en.
 The fremen on the boat received s45 a month and board and the coal pass CTS received $40. Captain Dunn has re- ceived word that more men will be sent him at once, but until they arrive the boat Is unable to move from her moor ings at the dock.

The Tariff Tinker Never Sleeps.

The Tariff tinker is one of the most
unique of modern freaks. In promot-
ing his favorite scheme for the unbal-
ancing of business equilibrium he never
sleeps. He is the fostering sore and
the intermittent fever that afflicts
struggling enterprises and he yields
only to heroic remedies.
1t is undoubtedly true that the Tariff
could never be adjusted to suit every
body. Probably each and every one
of the 500 manufacturers who assem-
bled in New York recently could sug-
gest Tariff that would benefit his
particular business.
But how about the thousands OF
workingmen, manufacturers and mer-
chants whose interests would not be
considered in the revision?
No matter who demands Free-Trade
or its substitute, Tariff revision,
there is no question that under pres
ent schedules the nation is enjoying a
period of greatest prosperity in its
history. Why not leave we'll enough

Tariff Sense and Nonsense.

Mr.. Bryan does not have much
faith in the prediction that the Tariff
is to be the paramount issue in the
next campaign. He says that, in his
opinion, 1t will occupy no snch place
of Importance. 1t will be merely in
cidental. Here is a matter upon
which the Nebraskian is eminently
right. There is nothing in the Tariff
to quarrel over. This country con-
times to believe in a Protective Tariff,
which is the true basis of our indus
trial and commercial supremacy. This
country is not going to abandon that
policy next year. To abandon 1t or
to modify it greatly even would bring
upon this country industrial horrors
with which those of dozen
years ago would be mild, indeed. AS
we are industrially greater now than
we were then so our depression would
be greater.

gress in that same Democratic dis
trict and the story of how he was
cheated and robbed of that election Is
a matter of common knowledge.
However, it's long lane that has
no turn and indications give strong as
surance that in. November Mr.. Wilson
will at last come into his own, which,
after all will not be so much his gain
as that of the people of Kentucky,
whose interests, it surely may be de-
pended, will be carefully conserved
during his tenure of office.
During the recent. campaign of The
Kentucky mountains Mr.. Wilson S
progress from county to county was
marked by continuous ovations from
Republicans and Democrats alike.
"The plain man of the people" and "a
good mixer" he has been styled, and
from the laborer to the bank Pres
ident all have felt the heartiness of
his handclasp and greeting. Old cit
liens, who have watched the prog
ress of many late campaigns, say that
never has a more popular candidate
been before the people of Kentucky,
and are freely predicting that he will
be returned the winner of the Guber-
race.-Louisville Herald.

The Stand Patters' Greed.

The stand-patters simply represent
the great body of the Republican parts
which has stood steadfast to the declar-
ations of principles made at the last
national convention, and propose TO
stand by them until the coming con-
vention makes future policies clear.
Simply because Democratic papers
all over the country, and few indie
pendent Republican papers, are de-
handing revision of the Tariff with
out giving any definite reasons for
such revision, and pointing out no
specific cases where revision is really
needed or wherein such revision will
be of particular benefit to the people
generally, is no reason why the Re-
publican party should stultify itself
and its code of principles by plung-
ing into a revision of the Tariff in
the midst of a season Of such prospect
", when the welfare of the business
interests and of the wage earners
might seriously be affected.
There is a vast number of business
men in this country who are not con-
WINGED that even 1909 would be a pc
riod when revision will be demanded
by the conditions of the business world.
But there is no doubt that If genuine
and universal demand is made in the
Republican ranks for a change in the
schedules, the national convention
will give it earnest attention.
That which the national organi-
cation decides is best for the country,
will be the creed of the stand-patters,
because they are in fact the party
and will decide what is to be DONE

The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1907-09-20

Governor Beckham in a recent speech
referred to the exploitation, by Re-
publicans of his special attorneys fee
record, which reveals the fact that
SIS, 9O2. IA has expended for special and
needless attorneys who possessed lit
tie or no legal ability during his ad-
ministration as 'reviving already ex-
ploded charges" We would like to ask
the Governor if his statement made in
the same speech to the effect that
Governor Bradley at the election in
1899 called into active service the State
MALTA isn't the same falsehood and
intentional Misrepresentation to which
he has given utterance in every cam
paign for the past seven years? By
the way the $4,000 Celhoun fee, which
Mr.. Beckham paid when the work done
was previously contracted for at $4,000
may already be exploded but IL re-
mains the same burning truth that it
always has been.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1907-09-20

Democratic candidates for State Of
fees are very much wrought up be-
cause Republicans are demanding a
look at the books, and declare with
great warmth that nothing was found
wrong with the books when Bradley
was elected in 1895. Our recollection
is that the books at that time were
found with the balance very much on
the wrong side. In other words the
State had suspended payment of all
warrants and no one knew what the
outstanding Indebtedness amounted
to. These warrants had been hawked
about from one money broker to an
other for years. Witness fees and
jury fees sold in Hartford at a dis
count of 25 cents on the dollar. The
Bradley administration found an in
debtedness of this character alone
amounting to almost S2,000,000. If the
books at Frankfort are in no better
condition than those in Louisville,
which have been in charge of a set,
who rae at least first cousins to the
ring at Frankfort, they need attention
at the hands of new men.

In response to our request the Hart
ford Herald this week reluctantly, and
bad humordly, reproduces the retrac-
ton of Rev. Hunt of his base and
groundless charges against Mr.. Will
son. In an editorial however 4 re-
fers to the statement of Rev. Hunt
as an alleged" retraction, meaning
to cast doubt upon it's authenticity
it is bound to produce among all
fair-minded, honest people. The truth
is that, but for our friendly nagging
the Herald would never have given
space to the Hunt retraction and those
OF its readers who are so unfortunate
as to read no paper, which did pub
lish it, would never have known any
better. The Herald complains that it
is not read by any considerable num-
Der of Ohio county Republicans. II
was for the benefit of Democratic
readers that we thought 1t should pub
lish both ends of this story, and now
that il has done so we know it's edi-
tors must feel better, even though
such a small act of justice did put a
bad taste in their mouths. Cheer up,
like the fellow who is required to take
salts, you will feel better later. We
do not know just what the Herald
aims to convey by this paragraph:
"One thing the Herald has never done
and that is openly defended the acts
of a man thrice convicted of one OF
the highest crimes known to the law.
We can say the same, just as truth
fully, IL you mean to insinuate that
we have defended or cOndoned the
crime of assassination, either at Franz
fort, or Jackson. We are asked to
publish the order of Judge Stout
granting alleged" immunity from ar
rest to Governor Taylor, II he will
return to Kentucky To testify in the
Powers trial. If the Herald editors
will examine our last issue they will
find that We not only told of Judge
Stout's order but also. referred to
Beckham's and Franklin's grants OF
immunity. The order itself is imma-
terial and the Herald could with as
much property, and sense ask us to
reproduce Washingtons farewell ad
dress or a speech of Bob Ingersoll

Augustus E. Wilson and the
rJeODle

Perhaps the remarkable personality
of Augustus E. Wilson. whom the
Republicans of Kentucky by acclama-
ton have chosen as their standard
bearer in their fight for honest gov
eminent is as largely responsible for
his great popularity among the voters
as the Men, women and children are
instinctively drawn to Mr.. Wilson,
in whom they are quick to recognize
the broad-gauge, sincere, gallant and
representative Kentuckian. To slight
ly paraphrase an old saying, "One
touch of Wilson makes all Kentucky
kim"
The average man admires grit and
perseverance above almost any one
thing, and the brother who knows not
defeat or failure awakens in him a
respect that is not easily shaken.
perhaps no man in Kentucky is bet
ter known by reputation than Mr.
Wilson. Certainly there is no man
who has cleaner political, business
and personal record. His political
struggles have always been watched
with great interest.
Four times was Mr.. Wilson nomi-
mated by reclamation for Congress,
and three times was he defeated for
seat in that body by the vote of the
people in hopelessly Democratic dis
trict. Once he was elected to Con-
