HARGIS AND POWERS.

In no uncertain tones the press OF
Kentucky, regardless of politics, is
sounding the death kneli of the pres
ent regime at Frankfort. On top OF
the Beckham-C arnes farce at Jackson,
comes the announcement of the Sc
lection of Judge Robins 10 again sit
in Judgment over Caleb Powers. This
at once suggests to the fair minded
people a comparison of the extremes
TO which the administration has gone
TO convict Powers, the Republican,
and to acquit Hargis, the Democrat
Powers last sentence was reversed be
cause of Judge Robins unfair rulings
against him, and yet in face of that,
he is again selected b. the Governor
70 tsy HIM.
This outrage against the State
smells to Heaven, and causes even
the rock-ribbed Courier-Journal to con-
denim the whole crowd in the follow
ing unmistakable language:
The way justice has been divert
ed. burlesqued and outraged in the
whole course of the Harsis episode,
and the way it has been set at naught
with the utmost impunity by the an
archists of the western part of the
State fill its friends with despair.
Verify. there is something rotten in
Kentucky. To be more exact, there
is something rotten in the govern
ment of Kentucky. And some day
those who have betrayed their trust
are going to feel the force of vir-
tue-loving peoples righteous indigna-
ton

Just a Few Facts.

James Hargs, former boss OF
Breathitt county has Geen indicted
for murder.
James Hargis is a member Of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
Democratic papers all over the State
have called for his removal from the
State Central Committee, but some oc-
cult, powerful influence keeps him
there.
In the contest for nominations at
the last Democratic primary Hargis
was a strong Beckham-HageII sup
porter.
Beckham and Hargis carried the
counties where Hargis' influence pre-
dominated by enormous majorities.
Bill" Carnes, Beckham-Hager
man, was appointed to try the Hargis
case in Breathitt county.
Pill" Carnes, the Beckham- Hager
appointee, removed the Hargis case
TO Elliott county.
ElllOlI is lHe HOille vi JuuSe W cu-
dington. former County Judge, and a
cousin of Jim Hargis.
! Elliott county forms part of the
new Thirty Judicial district
formed by the Beckham-Hager mel
in the last Legislature. -
The Circuit Judge of the Thirty-sec
ond district is NJ. M. Redwine, appoint
ed by Gov. Beckham.
ni M. NJ. Redwine is the brother o
the notorious ID. b. Redwine, a bust
ness and political friend of Jim Har
gis.
Judge Redwine is a brother also o
Dr. j. S. Redwine, Superintendent o
the State Insane Asylum. anothe
Beckham appointee. '.F
We invite impartial Democrats u
ponder over these facts. Teen W.

about it? y,

Any party which will deliberately
disfranchise a county, as has been
doneYin the case of Ohio county, in
representation in the House of Repre-
sentatives, is unworthy of support.
Political rights are even more sacred
than property rights. We object,
seriously, to entrusting our property
rights further to set of men who
are so devoid of common honesty as
to take away our political rights.
The great county of Ohio should re-
cord her full 5000 votes against the
party which would take from her
the voice which is given to little Bull
lit, Mclean, Spencer and Hancock.
Ohio is equal in area, or population
to any three of them.

For the last two State elections,
the Democrats have made Caleb Pow
ers the issue. They cannot complain,
if the Republicans make Hargis the
issue this year. Through the law
placing in the hands of the Governor
the appointment of special Circuit
Judges, the responsibility of the farce,
which is becoming more disgusting
every day, in the trial OF jim Hargis,
is laid squarely at Deckhams door
Because the people, for seven long
wears. have stood untold abuse of pow
er. it must not be taken for granted
that they will always remain passive.

Theory Versus Practice.

The Constitution of Kentucky pro-
vides, Section /: "All men are by ma
ture, free and equal, and have GER
tain inherent and inalienable rights,
among which may be reckoned:
First, the right of enjoying and
defending their lives and liberties.
Second, the right of worshiping
Almighty God according to the die
tates of their consciences.
Third, the right of seeking and
pursuing their safety and happiness.
Fourth, the right of freely COM
municating their thoughts and opin-
ions"
This clear and laudable declaration.
worthy of believers in the Declaration
of independence. is reduced to prac-
tice by Democratic bosses after this
fashion;
Republicans are not the equals OF
Democrats. Republicans may defend
their lives and liberties just to such
extent only as the Democratic bureau
Gratis see fit.
Republicans may Worship Almighty
God according to the dictates of their
consciences so long as that conscience
does not conflict with machine inter-
ests.
Republicans may sseek and pursue
safety and happiness, but only after
Democrats have cleaned the platter.
Republicans have the right of free
ly communicating thoughts and opin.
ions as to crops, weather, ancient his.
tory and astronomy, but not on cur.
rent Kentucky politics.
Democratic law breakers of the jim
Hargis type must be tried in a Dem.

MILITIA MAY BE
ORDERED OUT
To Quell Disturbances in Lou
iSville Strike.
No Prospects of Peace Are in
Sight--Mayor Barth Is
Determined.

Louisville, KY, March 13.-All pros
poets of peace in the strike of union
employees of the Louisville Railway
company seem to have disappeared and
the militia will, in all probability, be
brought to Louisville within the next
twenty-four hours to preserve order
and to prevent the destruction of prop
erty. For a time to-day was thought
that as the result of strong pressure
brought to bear by the business in
terests of the city, and especially the
directors of the Greater Louisville Ex-
position and the Commercial Club,
would result in basis for arbitra-
ton. These efforts appear now to
have been wholly futile.
Committees from the business or
CARNATIONS visited the officials of the
Street Railway Company and of the
motormen and conductors. A basis
for arbitration was almost arranged
but a fatal snag was struck. The rail-
road officials baked at arbitrating
the question of recognition of the IN
ion and finally declared that they
could not consider unionizing their
system. This is the ore point that
the union men are most anxious to
have arbitrated, and thus the confer
ence ended.
Mayor Barth said this afternoons f-
ter having sworn in 100 extra police
men. that he intended to have or
DER restored without further delay and
that he would not hesitate to call on
Governor Beckham for troops. Al
though the mayor has not said so, it
is believed that troops will be called
for tomorrow.
A number of strike breakers arriv-
ed to-day. All of the strike breakers
are under the command of Captain
Pellen, of Chicago, an assistant OF
Fairleigh, the famous strike breaker
{ was stated to-day that if Pellen is
unable to break the strike promptly,
himself will come to Louis
Vile and take command.
There was much disorder during the
day and many people were injured
and scores of arrests were made.

Shortridge Is Turned Down
Johnson's Bill
Loses Its Sting
tMeasure to Legalize Suits
for Gambling Losses
Is eCnmmed Down
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAME ENTO, Jan. 30-GroVe
Johnson's bill to Iegalize suits to re-
cover money lost in gambling wlll
emerge from the committee somewhat
disfigured. AS originally drafted the
measure gave losers or their dependent
relatives the right to sue either the
stakeholder or the winner for the re-
covery of losses. This would have
struck poolroom proprietors, racetrack
bookmakers, handbook operators ana
keepers of poker -rooms a distressing
blow, but the Assembly judiciary COM
mittee at its meeting this afternoon
extracted part of the sting.
A majority of the committee decided
that the man who gambled away his
money was not entitled to any con-
sideration. To use the words OF Colo
mel Martin Brady, they cut the sucker
out" and the bill as amended provides
that suit may be brought only by the
wife or dependent parents, or depend
ent children of the loser.
Advocates of the measure anticipate
a hot fight. but gamblers are or the
opinion that johnson and his men are
not nearly so excited as they were
before the committee decided TO eliml-
nate the loser. They say that even II
the bill should become law the danger
of suits by relatives would be slight.
whereas If victims were permitted to
appeal to the courts the gambling pro-
fession would soon find their field or
operations greatly restricted.
