WATTERSON ON THE SA-
LOON.

Mr.. Henry Watterson utters
the following striking words In
recent issue of the COurier-Jour-
nal:
"The saloon as it is called and
rs if exists in the United States,
has not one redeeming feature.
1T is the direct source of two
thirds of the evil that corrupts our
living-from theft to murder,
from wife-beating and child-beat-
inc to state prison and self-destruc-
ton.
IF the Ratchet Of Carrie Nation
could reach and be made effectual,
and final, | for one, would cry
'God-speed the woman and the
day"
Good. and now Mr.. Watterson,
keep poking it to 'em. Your
paper has won prestige in Ken
lucky that enables you to WELD
the mightiest influence of any
other editor in the State or South
as for that. We are sorry to have
to acknowledge that you have not
always espoused the right, the
side of right in some moral con
tests. Why not now in your old
DAYS come with us and do some
thing that will give YOU a well-de-
served place in the hearts of mill
ions Of mothers and wives in the
Southland. Surely you do not
want to 90 down under the cloud
of neglected duty. With the COu-
rier-Journal taking the stand that
the Atlanta Georgian has taken in
the Georgia conflict, Kentucky
could be wrested from this awful
curse in less than five years. If
you will put your heart into it,
and your talent on the side of tenn
perance, and demand State prohl-
bition, you can be the greatest
factor for civic reform of any
other one single factor in the State.
But if you fail and die on the
fence, or the side of liquor, your
record so far as what you could
but would not do, will be ignomin-
ious. 1t looks like "A man with
your sense ought to begin to lift
up his eyes to the future. We
have been hoping that some lead
inc editor would break loose from
all political and partisan shackles,
and inspired with a vision that
sweeps time and eternity, come up
to the help of the people against
the oppression of the liquor traffic.
If Mr.. Watterson will practice the
above preaching he will vet win
victory in Kentucky for God and
humanity. Kentucky Issue.

TO TRY CALEB POWERS

Judge j. 5. Morris, of Oldham
county, was appointed special
Judge of the Scott Circuit Court
to try the case of Caleb Powers
for the Goebel murder. Judge
Morris was for years Common
wealth's Attorney of the Oldham
circuit court district and was can
didate for Congress in the Seventh
district in several recent contests.
We have known Judge Morris
for about forty years, most of
which time intimately. He is Il

and any charges of dishonesty
from what ever source will be false.

WHOM WILL YE CHOOSE

Judge lIager belongs to that po-
litical party who made possible the
present temperance laws. His
party is therefore pledged to tenn
perance and for this reason, were
there not other reasons, every
temperance man in the State, re-
CARELESS of party utilization, should
count himself as committed to the
Democratic party 50 long as tenn
perance is in politics. Judge
Hager goes to the limit by person
ally pledging himself not only to
the enforcement of laws enacted,
but commits himself as favoring
the passing of such additional laws
as to prohibit the open saloon in
the State. This is noble act.

When the Bryan train pulled
into Elizabethtown a vast crowd
had assembled at the depot. Mr..
Bryan was welcomed by Judge 5.
q. Borley and II. A. Summers,
editor of the Elizabethtown News,
who constituted the reception COM
mittee.
THREE THOUSAND HEAR BRYAN.
Mr.. Summers said the crowd
was the largest ever gathered here
except when Mr.. Bryan spoke
here years ago. The courthouse
and yard were packed.
| Mr.. Bryan after being intro
duced by Gov. Beckham said
there were two reasons why every
Democrat should be at the polls
this fall and vote the straight
Democratic ticket.
STATE SHOULD NOT BE HANDICAPPED
He declared that Kentucky, a
Democratic State, should not be
handicapped in a national election
by a Republican Administration,
and saiu there was no reason for
Kentucky to turn down an admin
istration that had been economical.
He invited a comparison be-
tween Republican rule in Pennsyl-
vania and Democratic rule in Mis-
souri,. -
He said the Republican party
believed in taxation as blessing,
and when hard times came along
they thought the thing to do was
to increase taxes.
KENTUCKY SHOULD FIRE OPENING
Mr.. Bryan urged the Kentucky
Democrats to fire the opening gun
in the national campaign, and her.
aid to the world Kentucky's De-
mocracy.
He pointed to the recent cleo
ton in Oklahoma in which the
Democrats gained a big victory.
HAGER's ELECTION MEANS MUCH.
He said Kentucky could encour-
age the Democracy of the nation
by electing Hager Governor of
Kentucky.
APPEAL FOR BECKHAM's ELECTION.
He made an appeal for election
of Beckham to the Senate and said
the Senate was today a weak joint
in the national Government. He
declared Senators were needed
who would listen to the voice of
the common people and not to
trusts and railroads. He declared
Beckham to be such a man.
DISCUSSES TRUSTS.
Mr.. Bryan discussed the trust
question and said that the Repub-
licans had pointed to the Standard
Oil and other trusts as beneficial
institutions, but none of them
would so contend now. He de-
clared the penitentiary was too
good a place for trust magnates
who conspired against S0,0O0,OOC
people.
He said even Secretary Taft
now admitted that one, or two OF
the magnates ought to be in prison.
The speaker said President Roose'
welt stepped on Democratic ground
when ne undertook to regulate
railroads. He said the Chicago
platform of 1896 was plain on that
subject, and it was to be regretted
that the President had not adopted
more Democratic ideas. '3'

since the announcement last week

In response to the expressed de-

( Still more cases are heard from

The Deficit Myth.

Not so very long ago number Of
newspapers Of the state were indulg-
ing in considerable amount OF
clap-trap verbosity over an imagine
ed deficit in the state treasury that
would result from the operation OF
the new tax reform laws. The COM
monwealth was fast plunging into
financial ruin. those newspapers
told us. and unless the people had
some assurance the entire admins
tration of affairs would be turned
over into Democratic hands 1t would
be necessary to ask for injunctions,
the appointment OF receivers or pc
titlons in bankruptcy OF something.
With hypocrltical alarm they saw
the dollars and pennies OF the state
diminishing to ridiculously low
sums
The news reports Just sent out
from Charleston of the monthly re-
port of the finances of the state is
sued by State Treasurer Newton Og-
den. becomes interesting reading
when the deficit howls of the anti
tax reformers OF few months ago
are brought to mind. That report
gives further substantlation of the
fact that the new tax laws are do
ing what the Republicans claimed
for them in the matter of producing
revenue.
Treasurer ogden's report shows a
balance in the state fund OF $751;
SsS.61. which. when compared with
the balance OF 100000 for the
month of October last year, and
S150.000 for the close OF October,
1905, makes an increase OF about
$50 per eeptum when compared
with 1906 and sc per centum when
compared with October, 1905. The
report also shows that the state Is
in better financial condition than
ever before and that the tax reform
measures are making good in every
sense OF the word.
The deficit bugaboo has Joined
the other myths in the political
fairy land of our anxious bretheren
who were trying to scare us into at.
a short while back.

4 Short Course in Agriculture


A great many farmers when the
importance of agricultural education
Is pressed upon them, answer very
properly that they cannot go to col.
lege because every respect
able college course is too long; II
they had the inclination and the
time. the cost of four year course
would forbid their trying to profit
by 1t. 1t hardly seems wise to scold
a farmer, or any other man for not
doing what he has no time to do or
for not buying what he lacks the
money to buy.
Our College of Agriculture ut
Morgantown has taken these facts
into consideration, and is preparing
to give in 4-week course such In
struetion as can he given in short
time. The entire faculty of the col
lege of agriculture will be at the
service of the short-course students,
with few we'll known specialists
from other, states among them Pres-
ident Butterfeld of the Massachu-
sets Agricultural College.
Our farmer readers who are inter-
ested in the progressive things OF
their business should write to Prof.
7, G. Atkeson. Morsantowp.. W. Va
for particulars. The cost of the
course will amount to very little
compared with the benefits offered.
