a whole depends upon the efficiency
OF each individual official and en-
ployee. Every agent and employee
should study his duties in detail,
and should understand thoroughly
Just what he is to do in any con-
tingency that may arise. He should
then neglect no detail of his duties
however unimportant it may seem
to him, for no matter how careful
ly and infinitely duties may be pre-
scrlbed by the general offer, the
neglect OF some apparently minor
detail may lead to serious, or DOS
sibly to disastrous results. Or
even more importance than care
tut obedience of duties prescribed
by the company is obedience to law.
Many of the relations between the
railways and t epublic are now reg
ulated by Federal and State sta
tutes, and every official and en-
ployee of the Southern Railway
Company must understand that its
business affairs are to be conduc-
ted at all times in strict accordance
with the laws of the land. No
transaction or practice that is for
hidden by the laws can be permit
ted, and as am sure you all I'M
derstand, there must be no resort
to evasion of any kind.
As representatives of the
Southern Railway Company you
should bear in mind at all times
the basic fact that the interests of
the railway and of those served by
it are identical and that they are
lnseparably interviewer. The rail
way can prosper only as IA result
OF the prosperity of communities
by which the demand for transpOr-
tation is increased, and the pros
perity of the South can continue
and can be brought to the highest
possible level only through AIDE
quate and efficient transportation ia
cilities. At the present time, when
every effort is being made to sup
ply additional facilities and more
efficient services, nothing is more
important than that the truth of
this proposition should be realized
by men in ali lines of business.
When once this identity of inter-
ests is thoroughly understood the
railroads of the South and the peo-
pie will be brought together in
more harmonious cooperation for
the development of the natural re-
sources of the South and for the
expansion of all lines of industry.
The men in the freight and pas
senger departments are in a posi-
ton TO do much to bring about
this mutual good understanding
and this harmonious cooperation
for the upbuilding of the territory
trayersed by the lines of the COM
pany. Your careful attention TO
the wants of the people and your
considerable treatment of everyone
having business with the road will
serve as "a constant object lesson of
its interest in the individuals and
communities along its lines.

Hager, Chinn, Stanley and the lord
only knows who else, Joined by the
Hartford Herald and the greensboro
Messenger, are making a great ado
because it. has been discovered that
the Hon. Augustus Z. Wilson Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, some
three or four years ago, filed suit
for the American Tobacco Co., against
railroad company TO recover for
the loss of a car of tobacco. Hagef
is lawyer, Chinn is lawyer, Stan
ley is a lawyer, and the editor of the
Hartford Herald is lawyer. We have
not the records of these gentlemen be-
fore us but we venture the assertion
that II either of them was ever Offered
employment by the American Tobacco
Co., or any other corporation he ac-
cepted the employment and was glad
TO get the fee, and If none of them
have ever been offered employment by
such clients it is pretty good evidence
that they have not needed legal light
in the districts where these gentlemen
shine or their attachments are not such
as to attract such clients, who always
want the best. II is Just a matter
with these gentlemen of having an OPP
portunity 10 represent wealthy clients.

$4,000 FROM TOBACCO TRUST.
is taken from

The following editorial is taken from
the Georgetown Times, an old sub
stantial Democratic paper published in
Georgetown, KY, where MIR. Stanley
says the Democratic platform is, mean
ing the platform on which they pro-
pose to hang Caleb Powers:
'Beckham is making a plea TO the
country people on the temperance
question, but he has never explained
how the managers of his campaign
sold out the country people, body and
soul, to the American Tobacco Co, for
$4,000. Will the country people vote
for a man who allows his campaign
managers TO take $4,000 from this
great corporation that the farmers are
fighting? When anyone in the Legis-
lature wants legislation in favor of tn
tobacco growers the Beckham henchm
always passes the word down the line
that they 1.-THE tobacco trusD must not
be hurt, because they put $4,000 in
the campaign fund. Truly a great re-
former to appeal to the farmers. of
Kentucky"
Aren't these fellows a pretty kettle
of fish? Trying TO get the tobacco
growers TO vote against Mr.. Wilson
because he practiced little lawsuit
against railroad company for the
American Tobacco Co., when Beck
ham, Hager, Bosworth, Vreeland and
Ferguson five out of nine of the pres
ent ticket were on the ticket four year
ago and were the direct beneficiaris of
the $4,000 contributed TO their CAM
paign fund by the same company

Referring to Mr.. Wilson's state
ment that a man is usually judged by
the company he keeps, The Hartford
Herald says; But evidently the
speaker forgot some Of the men,
bers Of his own side of the house
the mountain feudists, the instigators
to murder" All, mountain feudists
and instigators of murder! Jim Har-
gis, Ed Callahan and Ebert Hargis
for instance. But by reference TO the
official roster of the Democrat party
we find that these gentlemen are re-
corded on that side OF the house, Gala
han having recently quilted the office
Of sheriff and Hargis having recent
ly completed his term as County Judg
of Breathitt and more recently having
quilted by resignation the Democratic
State Executive Committee as
member from the Tenth dis
trict. Be little more judi
cious brother. Hargis as a member OF
the Democratic Committee helped to
direct the affairs of the party yes
even aided in calling the premature
primary by which Mr.. Beckham, Mr.
Hager, Mr.. Laffoon and the the rest
of the ticket were nominated. Noun
tain feudists did you say! And who
has been associating with them?

Voters, Beware.

The Kentucky Patriot puts the fol-
lowing important questions TO Govern
or Beckham the answer TO which will
be of much interest to Ohio county
people,
If the Governor is a real temper
ance man" why does he drink liquor?
II he is not a regular patron of the
saloon he is a much-slandered man;
as one who knows him well remarked
the other day in my presence, He
drinks like a fish. rs this the kind
of man Christian voters look to
for the determination of the saloon
Echo answers, Is it?
but we<have been given the coun-
ty unit law!
True, but what sort of law is 1t
Why leave the breweries and distiller-
les in full blast in local otpion coun-
ties? Why exempt cities of the first
four classes?
But" they reply, I'VE will remove
these exceptions the next sssion of
the General Assembly"
Very well; trust you will, if in pow
er. But the Republicans promise the
same. So on this point there Is moth
ing for conscientious voter to choose
between you.
Furthermore, the plea for support
on the basis Of Louisville's lid" is
rot" Already the rum-ruled ring has
selected Owen Tyler an advocate \of
"wide-open" Sunday TO displace Mr..
Bingham. For Christian men to sup
port such a ticket is to stultify them
selves and betray and cruelty their
Lord afresh.

Der of the Hargis gang the Courier
Journal says: Each of the so-called
trial of Judge Hargis and prominent
members of his clan has been a DELHI
erately planned farce, the outcome of
which could have been forecast by
the most ignorant courthouse loafer
before the taking of testimony. The
only crumb of consolation for lovers
of law and order has been the verdict
of the Clark county jury awarding
the widow of James B. Marcum dam
ages against Hargis and Callahan for
having procured the assassination OF
James BIN arcum. The criminal trials
regardless of what the verdicts should
have been, count for nothing, and
might as well have not been held
The result has been that the feud Sec
ton of this State is greatly In need OF
development through the investment
of outside capital, has been exploited
to the reading public throughout the
entire country as a section in which
the law is not enforced and in which
murder is practiced as a business.
Nothing need be added in condemna-
ton of the political influences OF Beck
ham, Hager & Co, that have fostered
these things In Kentucky, We car
only determine as a people to wipe
out the dark stain by electing an adj
ministration pledged to enforcement
of law, and incapable of prostitutine
the courts to basely partisan pur'
noses

much against Mr.. Wilson in this mat
ter are the same people who never
fail TO speak well of ex-senator
Blackburn. They praise him as one
of the States greatest men, and af-
fectionately refer to him as Honest
Joe." Mr.. Blackburn accepted big
fee from the telephone monopoly to
go before the Kentucky Legislature
and use his influence TO defeat the
passage of bill which had been in
troduced in behalf of the Independent
telephone companies in their fight
with the Bell corporation. The bill
was defeated. These friends OF Mr..
Blackburn admit that If he had not
appeared before the assembly in OPP
position to the bin it would have
passed.
The voter who is not blinded by po-
litical partisanship will readily see
the contrast between the action of,
Mr.. Wilson and that of Mr.. Black
burn. Mr.. Wilson made no effort to
defeat any legislation in behalf of the
general public, because his appear
ance was in the judiciary department
of the State, which departments does
not make the laws, but merely con-
strhes them. His only effort was to
attempt to produce law and facts that
would win a decision in behalf of his
client. For a big fee Mr.. Blackburn
appeared before the law-making
body and ought to influence legisla-
ton against the opposition to the tel
telephone trust and in behalf of one OF
the biggest monopolies in the country.
He succeeded, and it has been admit
ted by his friends that Democratic
Legislature defeated the Independent
telephone. bill simply because Uncle
Joe" needed the money" which he
would receive only in the event that
the bill was killed in the assembly.
If I'M. Wilson should be refeated
for Governor because he accepted
legitimate employment as an attorney,
Joe Blackburn ought to be in the PEN
itentiary for accepting a fee to be-
come chief lobbyist for a corporation
to defeat wholesome legislation"

quirer is independent in politics with

WILSON AND THE TOBACCO

The Greensboro Inquirer, the nestor
and pioneer advocate of the cause of
the American Society of Equity takes
the only sensible view of the matter
of Mr.. Wilson's representing the Amer
lean Tobacco Company in small
suit. 1t says:
with some people it is an awful
thing for Mr.. Wilson to have engaged
his services legitimately as an atter-
ney for the tobacco trust in case
in the courts of the State, though this
is the first time We have ever heard
that it was a crime against society for
a lawyer 10 practice his profession

law and 10 the regulations of the
court.

seventy-six years old and a highly re-

Isn't it more honorable and less
liable to bias the recipient, for lew
yer to receive a fee from a tobacco
company for legal services rendered
than it is for a politician to accept
campaign contributions from the same
tobacco company. 1t has been charg-
ed and not denied that at the same
time Beckham and Hager accepted

also accepted $4,000 from the tobac-
