Republican Campaign Lies Grow
More Numerous as EleC-
ton Approaches.

Unable to squarely meet the charge
that August E. Wilson is the regular
ly employed attorney for the tobacco
trust and its infant industries in the
State of Kentucky, which the public
records prove him to be, the.Republi-
cans are seeking, by inuendo, to cast
some cloud upon the Democratic party
and its splendid officials, as if to, by
that means, draw attention away from
the trust record of the head of their
ticket now before the people of the
State. To do this, they are, through
w. D. Bradley, asking the question
whether or not the Democratic party
has ever received the sum of fifteen
thousand dollars from the American
Tobacco or any other tobacco company
which is now part or parcel of the
iniquitous and odious combination of
wealth which is seeking to grind under
its heel the farmers and tobacco
raisers of Kentucky. Mr.. Bradley,
mind you does not make such charge,
for he we'll knows tito be without!foun-
dation and that, like the charge of his
candidate Wilson as to WI. Bryan be-
ing paid five hundred dollars day to
come to the State and make speeches
urging the election of Judge Hager
and the Democrats associated with
him, it cannot be proven or even be
given reliable backing, but he only
asks question. Every Democrat who
has had anything to do with campaigns
of the last dozen years, can stand up
squarely before this former Republi-
can Governor, this leading counsel for
w. S. Taylor. for the rectified liquor
interests and for corporations general
ly, and deny the truth of his statement
or implication in whole or in part, and
demand that he produce his proof be-
fore the people before whom he made
it, or that he retract his charge, or
rather implied charge.
Doubtless this half charge was put
up to Bradley TO make because of the
humiliating position Augustus E. VIII
son has placed himelf in by making
an effort to extricate himself from the
charge against MIN OF being a hireIing
of that particular trust which.at this
time largely in the public eye in the
first State of the Union to successful
ly combat it. When Mr.. Wilson was
denounced as falsifier for declaring
that William j. Bryan came into Ken
lucky early in October under pay to
speak for the Democratic State ticket.
he weakly responded that he couldn't
prove word of what he had uttered
but that he nevertheless believed what
he had said. Now, will Mr.. Bradley
make such response to the denial of
the Democratic leaders of Kentucky
Of the truth of the charge and that he
produce his proof, or never more re-
peat the outrageous SANDER.
1t has come to be a part of every
campaign conducted by Republicans in
Kentucky that certain of their speak
ers devote themselves TO SANDER of
the party in power; that figures be
juggled in an effort to show up State
officials and rascals and grafters. I'm
til within the last two weeks the MAX
ing of such charges and the peddling
of such ISLANDERS was delegated to
small bore politician whom the Repub-
licans have put forward as their1nomi-
nees for Secretary of State. Evident

though outrageous in the extreme,
were attracting too little attention, so
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bradley, those
twin corporation lawyers, were substi-
tuted for the unattractive Bruner.
Wilson led off with his charge against
Bryan, which, so quickly called by
Democrats of prominence, proved
boomerang to him and detrimental to
his interests. Even Republicans re-
sented this monstrous SANDER against
the man who stands at the head of the
Democratic party of the nation. Then
came the charge from public records
that Wilson is Tobacco Trust lawyer.
Unable to answer it, after lodging
about for a week or more, he contented
himself by calling the Governor of his
State "cripsy," by calling his distin-
guished opponent Incompetent, and
by calling Ollie James, the big Con-
gresham from the First District, "a
tumble-b bug" This is his explanation
of his trust connections. After deal
ing in pyrothencjcs, he dropped out of
sight for dav or two and Bradley

cradle attention from stockraisers and
at once became fad among English
women who operated show stock
farms. At that time they were not an
expensive breed of cattle, as they
could be bought for $40 a head, and
were familiarly known in Ireland as
the poor mans cow" from the fact
that they could live where another
COW would starve. Now the price has
advanced, on account of their recent
popularity, until they cost about 5000
each, and many are even higher.
Following Mrs. Ladenburg's intro
duction of the cattle in this country
Mrs. Howard Gould brought over a
half dozen and is breeding them on an
estate in Lynchburg, w. Va.
Kerry COWS never grow more than
36 or 38 inches in height. In appear
ance they might be compared with an
ordinary sized cow as a dachshund
might to a hound of normal proper
tions. They are squatty in appear
ance, with fairly good sized body,
but with short legs. They are kind
and gentle, and although 50 much
smaller than ordinary COWS are equal

Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Tucker are in
Washington. When informed that
the report of the inspector general
had been sent to Secretary Taft they
both said they had no advices con-
corning the status of the case, that
they had not been called upon for tes-
timony by the inspectors who were as
signed to the case, and that they had
no knowledge of the substance of the
report
1T would be highly improper for US
to say anything at this time," said
Mrs. Logan. 1--WE do not know that
the report has been prepared. We
must await it's publication and know
officially of it's contents before we can
make any statement"
Mrs. Tucker shares the opinion of
her mother and will not discuss the
case in advance of the publication of
the report. Neither she nor Mrs.
Logan would at this time give any ex-
preston concerning plans for further
proceedings in the event the report is,
as expected, adverse to the charges
made against Col. Tucker. If they
contemplate the institution of civil
proceedings in the courts that fact
will not be discussed until after the
report is published.

Logan, who is now stationed at Chi
cago, will not be court-martialed on
the charges preferred against him by
his wife.
This is the opinion of army officers
who are familiar with the contents
OF the report which has been made
after full and careful investigation
OF the charges. The inspector general
of the army has had several of his
best inspectors at work on the case,
and testimony has been sought upon
the Pacific slope and in the Philip

The report has been prepared and
forwarded to Secretary Taft, who is
at Murray Bay enjoying vacation.
1t is expected that Secretary Taft will
act upon the report before starting
for the Philippines.
Army officers who are in a posi-
tion to know the substance of the re-

not found sufficient evidence to war
rant the department in ordering a
court-martial. Mrs. Tucker has the

Her first work of any magnitude

Mrs. Whitney, few years ago, en-
tered into racing, and under the name
of "Mr. Roslyn," with Mrs. Herman
Duryea, had racing stable for few
brief days. They thought they would
keep it quiet, but that "Mr. Roslyn"
was Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Duryea
became known, and they sold the two
horses they had purchased.

KERRY COWS BECOMING
FAD AMONG FASHIONABLE

NJ EW YORK.-Dwarf cows no larger
" than Shetland pony or a st
Bernard dog are something of a nov
city in America, though they are COM
mon enough in Ireland, where they
are known as the Dexter, or Kerry
COWS. They promise to add novel
feature to the picturesque side of fash
ionable life in the Hampstead section
OF Long island.
Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg, who owns
an estate of some 200 acres adjoining
the Meadow Brook Country club, is
the prime mover in starting the fad
in this country and has recently
brought from Ireland two fine speci-
mems which are to be augmented by
another importation, now on it's way
from the other side.
So interested is she in her new pur-
suit that eventually she intends re-
placing all her Holsteins and Jerseys
with the little cattle, which are no
larger than a Shetland pony.
1t was back in 1888 that the Kerry
cow, which is native of Ireland, max
ing its home in the Kerry mountains,
became a popular breed in England.

COWS IN that year at the Irish fair, in

The American Tourist,

Every summer Americans overrun

FORE And every summer European
newspapers, especially the English,
discover that the American tourist is
bad-mannered, that the father of the
family chews cigars, that the mother
is uneducated, and the daughter loud
voiced. An American at home who
reads these accounts of his touring
countrymen wonders at first whether
the dignified gentleman who was to
leave his business and spend a sum-

Then it occurs to us, remarks Youths
Companion, that many American trav-
elers do not speak loud enough for
the natives to discover that their
speech is American. Our countrymen
abroad are visibly and audibly repre-
sented by the kind of person that we
dislike at home. In the same way
the conditions of New York society
are portrayed in European papers by
stories of political corruption and the
few eccentricities of the many mil
lionaires. Normal events do not make
sensational press dispatches. The

rich tool supply man, declares that
Don Marino is real duke, other evil
dence up to date is that Marino is not
a duke at ALL Miss Moore may be
only a near duchess after her mar
riage to Marino.
Miss Moore returned the other day
from abroad, bringing with her Tor
lonia Marino, to whom she is engaged.
Mr.. Moore met the ship, welcomed
Marino to this country and his heart,
and announced to the newspaper men
that his daughter was to marry a
duke. Marino is not real duke, If
the Italian consul general is correct in
his statements. The consul general
was not anxious to discuss the matter
but he repeated what he said before,
that q certain Torlonia Marino was a
well known figure in Rome. He said
that this Torlonia belonged to titled
family and that his brother was the
bearer Of the title of duke. He did
