Platform Of the Republican Party

The platform of the Republican
party, adopted in convention at Lou
lsville, is as follows
We approve the policies and com.
mend the ability, integrity and cour-
age of President Roosevelt and his
administration, and without express
ing a preference for any candidate
favor the selection by the next ma
tional convention for president OF
one in full accord with those policies
and who will theoretically carry them
out in the interests of all the people.
Second-We demand that all cleo
tons shall be honestly conducted,
and declare that the. cause of good
government and the future happiness
and welfare Of the people of Ken
lucky are inseparably bound Up in
the suppression of all abuses and
crimes against an honest ballot, that
have so unfortunately disgraced our
state under Democratic rule, depriv-
ing the people of their rightful herit-
age-representative government.
The law for registration certif-
Gates, imposed on the state by the
Democratic party for immoral pur-
poses, whereby votes in Kentucky
have become negotiable instruments,
passing by delivery, ought to be re-
pealed.
Third-The judiciary CT the state
in both the circuit and appellate
courts, should be chosen on nom
partisan grounds. ami the continu-
ance in Office of faithful judicial pub
lie servants should be determined by
no other qualifications than fitness.
Fourth-There should be COM
plete publicity concerning the ex-
penditure Of money for political cam
paigns, and law should be passed
providing for an accounting by can
didates and campaign managers of
all sums of money collected for pollt-
ical purposes.
Fifth-We demand the redistrict-
ing Of Kentucky in legislative, sena-
torial, congressional and judicial dis
tricts, which shall give equal repre-
sentation and equal voting power to
every citizen OF every district. in con-
formity with the plain requirements
of the constitution, and not as at
present, in fragrant violation thereof.
Sixth-There should be prompt
and efficient enforcement of the
laws of every kind. and at
all times, but especially at this time
do we call for the rigid enforcement
Of the law against those forms of
crimes, which, under the recent adj
OF justice, in many COM
have gone practically I'M
punished Election thieves, gamblers,
pool room operators and others. to
commit crimes in the interest Of
hose controlling the local admins
ration of some Of our cities and
counties, should be punished, and the
uries should be so selected a sto
prevent the packing of juries for the
purpose of securing verdicts in ac-
'ordance with the wishes of those in
whose hands the selection of the
uries is placed, or under whose con
rol and direction they are selected.
Seyenth--We demand that the
looks, vouchers and accounts of all
municipalities. all public officers and
ublic institutions supported by the
tate. counties or cities, and OF all
in which a city or state
WINS the majority interest, either di-
ectly or through subordinate cor
orations. trustees or commissioners,
hall be open to inspection and in
estigation by any citizen. and shall
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-07-17

/ be regularly audited and the results
published by an Independent ac-
countant, who shall not be eligible
to re-examine such books, vouchers
or accounts twice in succession.
Eighth I'VE demand a reform in
the management of our public elee-
mosynary and penal institutions. to
the end that they shall be operated by
bipartisan boards, upon proper
business principles, and their inmates
treated humanely.
Ninth-We favor the enactment
,and enforcement of a uniform local
option law. with the county as the
governing unit.
Tenth-We demand that the public
schools of the state shall be taken
and kept entirely out of politics, and
that the interests and welfare of the
children shall have first consideration
in all public school matters.
We call for better schools and
school houses, for longer school
terms in the country, and better pay
for the teachers. and the elections for
school trustees he had on different
days from other elections.
Eleventh-We favor amendments
to state laws permitting and en-
couraging Joint nominations of the
same candidate by the different par
ties.
Twelfth-We condemn the law,
passed for immoral political purposes
creating the racing commission in
Kentucky, and demand its repeal.
Thirteenth4We condemn the en-
actment by the Democratic party of
a large number of obnoxious tax
laws and the creation Of useless Of
fcsee as the reward of partisan sew
ice. and we promise. If given power,
to repeal all such laws and reduce
the taxes to the lowest possible rate
consistent with an efficient admins
tration of the state government.
Conclusion.
For years past the legislation en-
acted by the Democratic party and
dictated by certain of its leaders has
not been for the benefit of the citi-
zen, but for the officeholder. The
chief aim of such legislation has been
the continued holding of Office and
the creation of new offices to be trad
ed in as rewards for party service.
The citizen Is at last realizing, as
never before, that the administration
of public affairs is business that
comes close home to him; that such
must be honestly and eff
ciently conducted, and that his bali
lot should not be cast as a matter of
sentiment, but for that candidate or
party which shows the highest capac-
ity for properly conducting the az
fairs of the state on strict business
principles.
We ask the support of all patriotic
regardless of their party
Affiliations. for The state ticket Sc
ected by this convention. and for
he policies and principles above
stated, believing that it will insure
better days for Kentucky.

Secretary of Agriculture Shows Bene
fits From Scientific Corps.


| Washington, July Secretary OF
agriculture Wilson is directing the
energies Of corps of 2, 500 scientists
lwho according to his estimates are
Saving the people of the United States
ANNUALLY about 100000. One
bureau, that Of forestry, saves the
people annually more than the depart
ment of agriculture has cost since It
was established. The statement is
issued by way of answer to criticism
directed by Representative Tawney,
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations, during the last session of
congress.
1t is claimed the benefits brought
the people by each bureau have the
following annual value: Weather bu-
reau, $50, 100000; bureau of soils,
$4,000, 900; bureau of plant industry
$29, 100, 900; bureau OF animal in
dustry, $50, SSO,S25; bureau of chem
istry, $40, 900: Office of public
roads, $S73,175; bureau of entomol-
ogy, $22, $50, 900; bureau of biology,
$4,000. 900. and forest service, $780,
100000.
The weather bureaus most import
ant savings come from warming given
shipping of approaching storms, to
railroads of weather to control in the
shipping Of vegetables and fruit and
to the coal interests on the Ohio river
of approaching freshets used in ship
pirg coal down the river. The bu-
reau values its daily reports at $5,-
100000 a year.
The meat inspection service is
worth $4,000 900 year to the peo-
lDle, and sheep dipping, marketing
southern cattle and ship fumigation
are three items cited as each worth
100000 to the people.
Dr. Wiley, of the bureau of chem
istry thing that his poison squad ex-
|periments produced results which are
worth $4,000, 900 year.
The bugologist says that the i'm
'portation of the Australian ladybug
was worth $5,O0O.OOO a year, while
his work upon the cotton boil weevil
is worth a like sum annually to the
southern planters. The destruction
of insects injurious to the great for
age crops is put down as worth So
100000 a year. Secretary Wilson
says he is fortified to defend himself
and can prove what he claims as to
every estimate.

It is gratifying to know that the
president of the Rock Island system
now RECOGNIZES the true relation be-
tween the public and the railroads, -
and that the company will dismiss
its lobby" but the president should
be ashamed to thus publicly pro
claim the fact that the company here
tofore has maintained a gang of cor
lruptionists and political grafters, to
the detriment of the public service,
the subversion of the popular will
and the loss OF the amount to the cur
ruption fund to the stockholders.
Such work has proven unsuccessful.
Instead of dealing with the fair
minded people direct, and securing
all the rights to which they are en-
titled. these men acknowledge that
they have been dealing with shysters,
and they have been blackmailed and
made victims Of; and now a day of
reckoning is at hand. A certain big
stick in the hands of a certain de-
termined man at Washington has con-
WINGED certain other men that they
must recognize the true relation
between the people and the rail-
roads" The attitude of the national
toward the common
carriers and the big trusts has
brought about a better understand
ing of the subject, and this is the
great benefit which the country will
reap; greater than can be reached
through the mere formal court pro-
ceedings

the prosecution of a criminal, except
society as while, and then the aim
Of the prosecuhbn should be to meet
the ends of justice, and secure such
verdict and judgment, as shall bene-
fit society, discourage crime and pre-
vent repetition of the offense. 1t
is obvious that a lawyer hired by a
relative of a murdered man will go
to lengths in securing a conviction,
from which public prosecutor would
Ireirain.
If the criminal business of the
county were placed in the hands of
the county attorney he could be in
touch with all criminal matters and
be prepared to prosecute the cases
vigorously as they come up. There
need be no limit to the assistance
given him. He could have as many
assistant county attorneys as the ma
ture and amount of the county bust
ness should warrant, and the work
could be so divided that the criminal
business would not be neglected.
Then the amendment, abolishing the
Office of commonwealth attorney,
should make provision against law
yers with private retainers partici-
pating in criminal prosecutions for
the purpose of "railroading' accused
persons to the penitentiary. The
state is able to employ all the law
yers she needs to prosecute criminals,
and it is her duty to discourage the
use of lawyers as instruments of
private vengeance.
