sition of The Herald on the commits
sionership of internal revenue. The
giving of that $4,000 Panama jot
to Uncle 10 Blackburn was very
graceful and gracious act. But il
will never make half a dozen votes
for the Republican party in Kentucky
or elsewhere. Mr.. Blackburn has
outlived his influence as party man
His vituperation of Republicanis,r
and Republicans covering a period Of
thirty years and more aroused much
hostility in Republican ranks toward
Mr.. Blackburn. Republicans are hui
man and cannot be blamed for refus-
ing to submit cheerfully to Senator
Blackburn's fierce and fanatical H.
rades. His whole course during the
Goebel troubles was reprehensible in
the last degree.
But just the same It was a most
kindly and considerate act for a Re
publican administration to provide
for Mr.. Blackburn in old age anc lack
of wealth. But providing for AR.
Blackburn does not justify forgetting
Kentucky in other regards. The Pa
ducah sun makes out a strong case:
"Why should the commissloneTship
of internal revenue be taken away
from Kentucky? The far southern
states are hope,essly Democratic.
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Illinois have all the patronage that
is coming to them. Kentucky has
more Republican voters than any
state in New England. She is a
doubtful state, If there is one In the
Union, and she is more likely to en-
ter the Republican list permanently
than is Missouri. She is the only
state that has increased her Repubii-
can representation in congress at the
Hast general election, and conditions
indicate more than possibility of
her sending a Republican delegation
to the electoral college in 1908. The
administration could do nothing more
beneficial from strictly partisan
point of view than to give Kentucky
some of the plums. She has few
enough Of her sons In Washington.
1t would encourage the workers and
solidify the party sentiment and
pride in the state to recognize men OF
ability in Kentucky; and it is equally
true, that taking away what little
recognition the state possesses would
discourage Kentucky Republicans
just when their hopes are highest"
The feeling. thus well voiced, Is
very general among Kentucky Repub
licans. 1t was the Republicans OF
this state and their fathers who, in
the fearful conflict between the
states, kept Kentucky in the Union.
The Republicans of Kentucky have
ever since the war cherished the prin-
ciples OF the party of American free
dom, union and indestructibility.
Kentucky is the native state of
Abraham Lincoln. Every Repubi-
can in the country honors il for that
and for many other reasons. Recog-
milton given Kentucky at washington
will not only promote Republican IN
terests, but please all Kentuckians
irrespective of party. - Louisville

WASHINGTON, D. c., September
1o.-In the opinion of important gov
ernment officials the anti-Japanese
riots at Vancouver make certain neBo-
tiations between Washington and
Toxic looking to the exclusion OF
Japanese from this country. Because
of the tactical advantage which the
riots have given the American gov
ernment there is little doubt that, white
deploring the occurrences from
humane standpoint, the tendency in
administration circles is to view the
situation with complacency and, per
.haps, little secret satisfaction. Ihe
fact that the Vancouver troubles came
close upon the heels OF the attack on
the Hindus at Bellingham, Washins-
ION. is in some degree responsible for
this feeling, for with situation con-
fronting it almost identical with that

breaking out of popular feeling against
the Orientals in different parts of this
country and Canada is a convincing
argument that the troubles of this
character on the Pacific coast are not
to be attributed to the hostility mere,
Nv of labor unions to the Chinese and
Japanese, but to an all-prevaillng
prejudice of race which no Legislation
or treaty can overcome. This being
admitted, the only safe thing to DO

ture are to be avoided. is, in the judg-
ment of officials. to insist upon the
