HARMONY.

II was not polite, il was not
seemly, 1t was not kind of those 500
Democrats in conference in Louis
Vile Saturday to hiss Robert Bing-
ham whom Governor Beckham had
APPOINTED mayor of the city. 1t may
be true, as ex-Mayor Granger said,
that Mayor Bingham declared: They
yelled at me and they can go to
h" but that was afterward and
while Mayor Bingham was still
burning under the slight. 1t is
scarcely probable that the choice of
Frankfort for mayor of Louisville,
the man, who expects to be a candi-
date for mayor on the Democratic
ticket at the fall election, would be
so vain as TO desire 500 men of his
own party 10 go 10 h, at least, be-
fore the election.
We have heard so much about the
"atmosphere being cleared" about
the "political harmony between the
state administration and the Demo-
Gratis of Louisville since the Demo-
cratic state court OF appeals reversed
the Democratic circuit court of JEFF
ferson county, that this incident is
peculiarly astounding. The request
of Mayor Bingham on Governor
Reckham to remove John Vreeland,
from the state committee, does not
breathe that prayerful sympathy be-
tween the rank and file OF Jefferson
county, their representative in party
councils and their fore-ordained
candidate for mayor. In fact, the
hostility between the Vreelands and
the state administration is such
that II we were given TO the least
suspicion on the subject, we should

ham had been instructed py-say'

and It is at once checked by a United
States court, first by injunction and
later by habeas corpus. Clearly
enough this is not calculated to pro-
mote virillty on the part of the mem
aced commonwealth. If states are
to be dominated by federal judges
when they fail to meet all the eXcep-
tations of men who would have them
act with energy. and theen are to be
set aside summarily by federal
judges when they do attempt to use
their power, they will presently find
themselves ina more humiliating
position than has ever been prepared
for them by the most Jealous central
lizer."
True enough. Mr.. Root said the
tendency toward Capitalization is
given impetus by the laxity of the
states in. exercising their prerogatives
to prevent encroachments on the
rights of their citizens, but that does
not mean that there is a conspiracy
between Judge Pritchard and Secre-
tary Root to use the authority OF
the federal court to wrest from a
state the right to exercise these pre-
negatives. The Messenger assumes
the attitude of a conquered race to
ward a foreign nation in its refer
ence to the federal government. If
Judge Pritchard is exceeding his
Jurisdiction in the habeas corpus pro
ceedings and injunction, the United
States supreme court will soon set
him right, If the case is carried
there: and if the supreme court up
holds him, the governor of North
Carolina will acquiesce, you may be

Mr.. Hines-to precipitate this scrap
in order to prefer charges against
John Vreeland. Mayor Bingham de-
clares that Vreeland and ex-Mayor
Granger, the most popular Democrat
in Louisville, broke their word with
him when they allowed the discus
sion of a primary at the meeting,
and in the same spirit Mr.. Nreeland
and ex-Mayor Granger, with little
elaboration of language, say that
Mayor Bingham tells what is not
true.
The worst feature of the whole
case is that Congressman Swager
Sherley. Of the Fifth district, seems
to have been the ring leader against
Mayor Bingham. So, If anyone con-
dennis the action of those represent
alive Democrats, he must condemn
the Democratic nominee for congress,
and If he upholds Sherley's position.
he must condemn the whole state
administration.
Fact is. the workers and astute
politicians OF Louisville belong to
| the Haldeman-Grainger faction,
which is, after all, considerably bet
ter than the Aaron Kohn-Whallen
crowd. and Mr.. Grainger's hold on
the workers grips their gratitude
with a sentiment that cannot be
shaken by the mere temporary SUI
Ipremacy of the state administration.
If Mr.. Hines would rule Louisville
he must needs demonstrate his abil-
ity to win a victory outside the court
of appeals. In furtherance of this
ambition he gave out the intimation
that the governors appointees were
to be the nominees. Rank and
flers of Louisville evidently think
otherwise, as do the Granger crowd.
They clamor for a primary. The re-
suit of a primary can be foretold in
the language of the court of appeals,
describing the manner in which the
election of 1906 in Louisville was
held.
Either horn of the dilemma is sat
lsfactory to the Republicans. If the
primary is held, the people will UNI
derstand that the same gang. which
the court of appeals denounced in
throwing out the election of 1905,
is in control. If no primary Is held,
the MISUNDERSTANDING faction may
be expected to fight the ticket, in
order to preserve their own political
existence.
That the Louisville machine will
fight Hager, Hines and Beckham is
beyond doubt. and that Swager Sher-
ley will get his'n is likewise assured

He is a wise statesman, who can
distinguish between the voice of the
people and the howl of a mob. The
mob clamors for the qualification OF
its desires. The voice of the people

approval. Many a politician, who has
justified his course by popular clam
or, has been condemned by the very
voice he obeyed. Right is right, and
