| in Kentucky. Eleven men in Eddy
vile were scourged upon their naked
backs because they exercised their
right to discuss public events. Free
speech is menaced. A police court
judge was dragged from his bullet
riddled home and submitted to the
indignity Of the lash. Law is out
ragged and defied.
Who is to save the state? The
local authorities in the neighbor
hoods where these things have hap
lpened and may happen again at any
hour of darkness, are paralyzed with
terror As one of the men of Eddy
Iville. who was communicated with
over the telephone, said last night,
1--WE are afraid to speak" The town
marshals and county sheriffs are alb
solutely inadequate to handle a task
of such proportions. Even If special
constables were to be sworn in, the
extent of the conspiracy makes it al
most impossible to depend upon their
loyalty and TO avoid the presence of
some traitor in the company.
What of the legislature God help
it, Are these men, fighting and dick
ering over a United States senator
ship, Kentuckians? Is this daily
scheming and bargaining to secure an
Office for one of two men the bes,
craftsmanship of which our represent
.tatives are capable while the common
wealth goes to hell unheeded? More
than half the session is over, and one
paltry bill, providing the governor
with stenographer. is all we have
to show for 1t. Meanwhile. barns are
burned, citizens dragged from their
homes and whipped. judges terrorized
and the law lies tramp,ed and bleed.
ing upon the free soil of Kentucky.
The Herald tells these legislators
at Frankfort that the state is sick and
tired of the pettifogging politics that
is being played around the capitol.
These rumors of barter and trade. of
lodging issues and forcing adjourn
ments are unspeakably shameful. Tho
example of Nero, who fiddled while
Rome burned, has never been con
sidered one that patriots emulate, and
yet we have the spectacle of these
representatives of the people making
a fiddle out of the county unit bill
and scraping away at II with Demo-
cratic or Republican bows while the
Beckham and Bradley choruses dance
to the ragtime, and the night riders
torch sets the state ablaze with pas
sion and lawlessness.
We are weary Of appealing to deaf
ears We call upon the press Of Ken
lucky, irrespective of party. to join

lives cease their wretched trifing and
make this great evil that has come
upon us in the darkness, the supreme
concern OF the hour.

Drunken with partisan politics, the
legislature is staggering through its
session while Kentucky lies helpless
and disgraced beneath the crime
stained feet OF lawless hordes. To
the cry that has gone up from a. score
of wounds made by the torch and
whip of the night riders. the only
reply has been I'VE must elect Beck
ham" or 1--WE must elect Bradley"
The election of United States sem
ator has been made the paramount
issue In this state. The personal am
bitions of these two men are the
affairs upon which every other interest
of the community is being sacrificed.
While Democrat and Republican play
politics, each seeking to outwit the
other in the game OF winning all
Office, Freedom, gagged and bound, is
crucified night after night by men
who should be her first defenders.

DEBOE'S LAST STAND.

WELDING the same obsolete weapon
"a pull that is spent-W. J. Deboe, OF
Crittenden county. will reproduce the
spectacle of Foraker's last stand in
the First congressional district next
Month.
Although W. J. Deboe has not Sc
cured a federal appointment in the
district in twelve months, and his
name on an application would ruin
it at Washington, he has already at
tempted to snap the whip around the
ears of fourth class postmasters all
over the district, and line them up
against William H. Taft with the
sound of a whip that has lost its lash
They have nothing more to fear
from that influence IT, w. J. Deboe
were not de trop at Washington be
fore, his throw down in the district
last summer, when il was carried
against him for Wilson, Breathitt and
Farley, would have destroyed his in
fiuence. coupled with the fact that his
own county showed a falling off in
Republican vote at the election.
Nothing succeeds like success in poll
tics, and a man, who gets beat at
home. can not secure consideration
abroad.
Here Is one instance in which a
prophet has to acquire his honor at
home. The theory is correct as to
principle too; for, after all, when a
politician is turned down by his con-
stituents, he should not be given au-
thority over them through public pat
ronage.
Mr.. Frank II. Hitchcock. first as
slstant postmaster general who con.
trolled appointments in the south, is
manager of the Taft campaign. 1t is
not likely that w J. Deboe. who is
fighting Secretary Taft and the whole
national administration, can have any
more political influence at Washing
ton.
Promises from such a source must
be futile; past favors were paid for
before they were granted and the
sentiment of the people is for R'oose-
welt man. At the congressional dis
trict convention March II. Taft is
sure to have 105 of the 40 delegates
and those, who have been instructed
TO swing their precincts against the
national administration, would re-
gard their own interests, if they con-
sldered the source of the suggestion.
