The Famous Affidavit.

The most sensational portions Of the
famous affidavit introduced by Mr. Je-
rome are as follows:
'Mr. Thaw and | travelled through
Holland, stopping at various places 10

to Munich, Germany. We then travel

der the name Of Mr.. and Mrs. Dellis
after travelling for about five or six
weeks Thaw rented a castle in the
Austrian Tyrol known as the Schloss
Katzenstein, which is situated about
half way up very isolated mountain.
"This castle must have been built
centuries ago as the rooms and win
dows were all old-fashioned. When we
reached there there we're number of

The Legislature of the various
States seem bent on a reduction
of railroad fare, and to this more
than the National move, may
trouble arise. That a two cent
fare is adequate and just in some
States, we do not doubt, but in
others it is doubtless not stimu-
ating enough to cause new lines
to be built or old ones to give the
best service. The cost Of con-
StructiOn varies, cost Of opera
ton varies, and the source Of
supplies may be too meager to
Justify the action some of the
States are taking. We believe
in a fair square deal; that every
honorable business, whether
public or priv e, that
Individual and corporation should
stand on equal footing, and all
entitled to reasonable profits,
while all should give the best
service possible. We trust that
the next Legislature of this State
will not jump at a conclusion,
and pander to public sentiment
on this line without full invest
igation, and full knowledge of
the best manner to advance our
commercial resources.

WE'D, MARCH O., 1907.

For the last Few days the de-
cline in the selling values of rail-
road stocks and bonds is causing
alarm. This condition is said to
be the result of State Legis-
latures and the investigation and
altitude of the Federal Govern
ment to secure a fair deal. At
any rate the decline is rapid. and
does not forebode good to the
holders of such securities. Some
are so alarmed as to predict a
panic in the near future, while
others are more conservative, and
believe that the business of the
country in general, will not be
seriously affected. Evid e n ly
the investigation should not be
discouraged, whether it results
in good or bad for the time be-
ing. If the great railroads are
doing a fair, square business, an
investigation will not hurt them
long, but will strengthen their
securities. If they are giving in
adequate service to the public,
discriminating between individ-
uals or sections, combining
against public welfare, then they
should be forced to do the right,
and there never was a better
time than the present. 1t will
be unfortunate for investors in
in watered stocks to have the
worngs exposed, but it will prove
a blessing to many others. No
business that has the public by
the throat should go unrestrain-
ed. 1t is the duty of the govern
ment to see that such conditions
do not prevail, and if we are not
mistaken the President is in ear
nest, and will have a show of
hands from the great and power
full transportation companies of
this country.

The redistricting IN assure
passed by the last Legislature,
was contested by the Republi-
cans of Butler and Ohio counties,
and the courts in both instances
held the law unconstitutional.
Last week the Appellate Court
sustained the decision of the low
er courts. Good! Such legisla-
ton ought to be knocked out in
every instance, for the main and
only purpose was to gain polite
al advantage by an unfair meas
ure. No Legislative body, State
or National, should be allowed to
prevent or nullify a true express
ion of legal voters, and the soon
er the courts in other States fol-
low the lead of our courts in such
matters, the sooner political JUS
tice will be established. The
Kentucky Legislature is not an
exception, it is our court The
Court says; Equality of rep
resentation is the vital principle
of Democracy, and that no Re-
publican institution can live with
out it." There is scarcely a
State in the whole country whose
political districts were made for
the purpose of securing a fair,
square deal, but were made to
advance party ends, consequent
ly the State Legislatures and the
National Congress have largely
become the misrepresentation of

proposition to form districts en-

forming them only with the view

of the other is as rotten as it
is con t e m p t b lie. Every
Democrat, every Republican,
ought to be willing to abide by
majority rule and seek to cut out
frauds in politics, as we'll in bus
mess. The m AMP ulat ors in
financial affairs, the men who
consolidate and controle corpora

people. but the political Boss, and
the many political combines and
monopolies, both in the States
and Nation, are permitted to
flourish, practice deception, and
collect political usury. The
Standard Oil Company, the COM
bination of railroad corporations,
and other combines in industrial
lines are being prosecuted in ma
ny Of the States, and also by the

and deals are known to exist to
the detriment of honest, fair
