No Revolution In Sight. A."

TIE head OF Mr.. Bryan's literary
bureau says: "A political revolution
is a, hand. All the signs point 10 a
change of parry control of the gov
eminent in 1905" If there are any
such signs that parsonage ought TO
pOInt them out. Mr.. Bryan has net
yet mentioned any OF them, and he
would be likely TO see them If any
body could. And it he saw any OF
them he would quickly tell his coun-
trymen about them.
One Of the indications of a revolu-
tion in the presidency comes in the
congressional elections two years
ahead. This premonitory symptom
always comes. When the Republicans
carried the House of Representa-
tives in 1858 the victory of 1860 in
the presidency was foreshadowed. In
1874 the Democrats won the House
of Representatives for the first time
since 1856, and the drop in the Re-
/ publican vote for the presidency two
years later was so steep that Hayes
obtained a majority of only one vote
in the electoral college. The Repub-
lican setback in the congressional
canvass of 1882 presaged the victory
for Cleveland two years later. just
as the cutting of the Democratic mar
gin in the House close TO the vanish
/ ing point in 1886 fore told the victory
Republican reverse in the congress
sional canvass of 1890 and the Demo-
cratic overthrow in a like canvass in
1894 presagei big defeat for the
party in &c. case in the presidential
canvass two years later
/ Nobody has detected any such
symptom of coming Republican dis
aster In the congressional campaign
of 1906 the Republicans won a ma
jority of fifty-eight in the House of
Representatives. Over confidence pre-
vented them from making it larger,
but it is large enough for practical
purposes. Every Democrat, as well as
every Republican on reading the re-
turns in November, 1906, saw that
all the signs were favorable for an
other big Republican triumph in 1908.
If there were any reason TO suppose
that the people were tired of Re
publican domination the evidence of
it would have appeared in the Con-
gressional campaign two years ago.
Nothing of the sort came TO hand.
Neither Bryan nor any other sensible
Democrat has any hope of Demo-
cratic success in 1908. In order to
preserve the party organization a
ticket had to be put up The man at
the head of the ticket however will
not exhibit the faintest surprise when
he learns, on the night of November
8, that the third battle turned out
just as the first and the secori battles
did,

under a clump of trees Friday morn
Inc on the farm of r. S. Veech, near

The finding Of he body CT Hans,
who had committed suicide, ended a
twsny-four hour search for the muir
derer, in which practically the entire
police department of the city of Louis
VILE and jefferson county had partic-
ipa;ed. Several had secured the
woods near st. Matthews and vicinity
all night long in an effort to capture
Hans alive.
On the day previous Hans had met
Arthur Kraft and his wife on a stree.
in East Louisville. He was in love

which ended the life of Arthur Kraf,
and perhaps fatally wounded Mrs.
K-af. and lgft LITTLE 2-year-old Hor-

most graphic recitSls Of love and jeal-

CreedS and Candidates

The dastardly effort TO foment pre-
JUDGE against William Howard Taft
because OF his religious convictions
will prove a boomerang TO those who
are fostering II. We cannot think
that the disposition exists to any
great extent in this country to make
a mans creed test of his qualification
for public office.
1t has been industriously rumored
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1908-07-31

While the assertion, made by
Louisville preacher that there is no
place in heaven for lawyers" is a lit
tie tough" on members of that pro-
itss.On yet Ii is conso!ing TO know
a he statement is made without
personal knowledge, and if the bible
injunction, Judge No; Lest We Be
judged is 20 be taken for anything,
Re may never have an opportunity to
say, Il told you so"
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1908-07-31

that Mr.. Taft is a Roman Catholic.
The rumor is far from the truth but
il il were a fact that he held his
membership in this historic church on y
the most narrow-minded bigotry would
see in the relationship a reason for
opposing his election. Mr.. Taft is
Unitarian; his people before him were
Unitarians. Mrs. Taft is an Episco-
palian and her husband displays his
broad-mindednes by worshiping more
often with his wife than in his own
communion.
These are matters that should not
even be referred TO in a political
campaign They concern the people
about as much as the question OF
whether Mr.. Taft is homeopath or an
allopa;h in his preference for med.cal
treatment. Even If he were an os;eo-
bath. this could hardly be considered
sufficient cause 20 create campaign is
sues of the fact.
We have heard no protest from the
Roman Catholics, the Uni,arians or he
Jews because William Jennings Bryan
is Methodist. and yet his Meth
odistical faith must be distinctly dis
las: eful 10 thesebOGies.
The only vital question that can b.
asked concerning The candidates Is as
10 their public records and their per-
sonal ability in relation to the great
office for which they have been noml-
mated. Mr.. Taft has a record of long
and faithful service. His enemies can
find no blemish in his public life upon
which 10 place the finger of criticism
or condemnation. He has met every
duty imposed upon him with a fidelity
10 the people and an intelligent skill
hat are beyond adequate praise or de-
served reproach. His work on the
berrh ard in the Cabinet is the best
proof Of his executive fitness.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Bryan or per-
haps fortunately he has had no oppor-
tlnily 20 dislay his qualifications for
high office under test of actual re-
sponsib.liiy. lie must be considered
wholly from the standpoint OF his rec
ord as a candidate for office rather
nan upon his record as office hold
er. II is upon this record that the
people will reject him. AS man Mr..
Bryan has much 10 commend TO him.
He is z citizen of whom the country
may well be proud. His life as a citi-
zen has been blameless. He is public
spirited. energetic. earnest, and We be-
lieve, honest; but he is mistaken in
his views as 10 the needs of this coun-
try. His policies are yariegated and
vac!lla,ing he lacks stability and
depth of perception. He is an excel
lent man in private life, but would
be dangerous man in public office.
With such consideration in relation
10 the two candidates the people may
properly concern themselves, but let
us have done once and for all with this
bigo;ed and prejudiced discussion of
religious convictions which these men
holds as between themselves and their
God. Let us rise above such narrow
intolerance IN a land where the funda-
mental principle of liberty is based
upon a mans right TO worship the
Almighty as his conscience dictates.
Let us be Americans in The full signi-
ncance of that splendid New World
word, and judge a man by his deeds
and not by some shibboleth of creed
or dogma. Surely our presidential cleo
lions are not 10 be turned into a
