TURNING STATES EVIDENCE

One of the most wonderful confes-
sions ever published is that which our
friend and esteemed contemporary,
Charles Ferguson, editor of the Liv-
ingston Echo, and one of Deboe's con-
testing alternates TO the national Re-
publican convention, makes in this
weeks issue of his paper Mr.. Fer
guson says "the almost certainty of
Taft's nomination" caused F. NJ. FISH
er to fight for him, and adds that
1.-THE majority of the Republicans of
Livingston are for Taft" Mr.. Fergu-
son and the little coterie of politicians,
who hadn't the nerve in the face of
that fact, TO come outright for Fair
banks, went to the convention unin-
structed, and, although, they admit
they were disappearing a constitu-
ency that favors Taft. they Joined the
Fairbanks end of the convention, gave
t. moral support, and persisted in their
pusillanimous policy by bringing in a
minority report, protesting against in
dorsing anybody for president.
Why, o why, are delegates sent to
q national convention, if not to repre-
sent the sentiments of the people who
send them? If the people who send
them do not instruct them how to
vote, how can those delegates repre-
sent them? Mr.. Ferguson, who was
honored with being made secretary
of the Deboe un-quorumed convention
and alternate to Chicago, accuses F.
NJ. Fisher of supporting Taft for his
own personal gain. Why did Mr. Fer
guson support Deboe and the Fair
banks crowd? Not because he thought
he was representing the majority of
the people, who subscribe for his pa
per in Livingston county, we will be
bound. He admits that they are all
for Taft. Couldn't be possible that
Mr.. Ferguson has been in communi-
cation with NJ. II. Thatcher, who says
the Fairbanks crowd will control fed
. eral patronage in Democratic congress
sfonal districts willy nilly. could It?
We shall be more charitable with
Mr.. Ferguson than he is with the Taft
forces. Perhaps, he feels a tender
ness toward w. j. Deboe Surely no
expectation of favors to come would
induce him to misrepresent in conven-
ton the very people off whom he
makes his living. Couldn't he have
the grace to suggest, that II the fed
eral officeholders are supporting Taft
for personal reasons, some senti-
ment of gratitude toward the present
national administration. simple 10y
atty to those who have reposed conf
dence in them, is at the bottom of it.
But we can give Mr.. Ferguson a
better reason for their support of Taft.
The Republicans of McCracken and
Graves counties. like "A majority of
the Republicans of Livingston county
are for Taft for president" That is
considered by Mr.. Fisher and Mr..
Speight. we suspect, as sufficient rea-
son for their position. We knew all
the time that the people of the First
district are for Taft; but we didn't
anticipate anyone turning states ev-
idence as soon as Mr.. Ferguson did.

The Diamond Trade.

Importations of precious stones and
pearls in 1907 fell OF s11 600 900, as
compared with 1906, when the figures
rose to $i3,573,4SS. The decline was
made clear in figures compiled yester-
day at the custom-house. The de-
crease became more marked toward
the end OF the year owing to the mon
ley troubles.
The boom in the diamond trade OF
the United States, now temporarily
checked, began ten years ago, the val
uation of the precious stone imports
having been down in 1897 nearly to
81 600, 900, and increasing steadily
until the highest total was reached In
1906.
The price of diamonds, importers
say, is sustained and the reduced inn
ports are said TO be due in part, at
least, to the diamond trusts efforts
to uphold the market by curtailing sup
plies.
One of the largest importers has
compiled figures indicating that since
1868. when the first diamond was
found in South Africa, that country
has yielded upward of 10000 ,O00
karats, while India and Brazil, the
worlds chief sources of supplies in
former ages, yielded altogether less
than $4,000 900 karats.-New York
Times.

oFFICEHoLDERS AND TAFT.
Nc Owensboro INQUIRER thinks:

1.-The charge is made by Republi'
cans that 1t is the officeholders In
Kentucky who are supporting Taft
and that Fairbanks is having to fight
the machine composed of the Gins.
However, that charge is not true,
The Inquirer has known all the time
that 1t was not true in Owensboro
because Collector Franks and Post
master Van Rensselaer, are for Fair
banks, and If there is a federal APP
pointee in Owensboro who is support
ing Taft we have not heard OF him,

Heads | Win; Tails You Lose.

The Lexington Leader IRep.) says:
Former United States Senator w.
]. Deboe, member o: the Republican
state central committee, and by virtue
of that position chairman of the First
congressional district, in his zeal for
lvice-President Fairbanks reversed
himself and made entirely contrajic-
tory rulings as to two sets of creden-
| tails from two counties in which con.
| tests We're reported in the First dis
trict convention at Paducah on We'd
lnesday afternoon.
at was a case of heads / win;
| tails you LOSE the two decisions
being in favor OF the Fairbanks dele
cations and against the Taft men on
exactly opposite points.
when the first contested county
was called Senator Deboe ruled tina,
the delegation which held credentials
signed by the county chairman should
be recognized in the temporary or
ganization, which is in accordance
with party law and the sensible rule
|of procedure. The decision was favor
able to the Fairbanks people and IL
was applauded by the Taft followers
because it was right and established
la precedent for other contests to fol-
low.
But the innocent Taft men did not
realize the ability of the gentleman in
the chair to reverse himself. Such a
trifiing thing as his own precedent,
even when established only five min
utes earlier had no terrors for the big
ex-senator who rules the First dis
|trict.
when Graves county was called
the Taft delegation bearing creden-
tials signed by the county chairman
was turned down by Senator Deboe
and the Fairbanks delegates selected
by a rump convention that had no
standing in party law were seated by
his order.
1.-THE purpose of the Fairbanks
people to run rough shod over the
Taft people was now clearly proven,
as this ruling changed "a Taft ma
jority into Fairbanks majority, and
there was nothing left for the sup
porters OF the secretary of war but to
rebel against political injustice by or
|ganizing another convention, which
they did in the same hall, and without
leaving their seats.
1.-TWO sets of delegates and two
ELECTORS and state central commit
teemen were chosen and contests will
be made before the national conven-
ton as TO the delegates and before
the state central committee as to the
elector and committeeman. The
Leader confidently predicts that
neither body will sustain Senator
Deboes ruling. and that the Taft men
will win out all along the line.
1.-THE First district convention was
irregularly called at the instance of
the Fairbanks organization. long in
advance Of the other district and
state conventions in Kentucky be-
cause it was believed II was master of
the party machinery there and could
stampede the party into the Fairbanks
column by an early victory for the
Indiana candidate.
"If the methods of the Fairbanks
managers in the First district are
fair indication of their plan of cam
paign in Kentucky II seems to us they
are doing more to wreck the party
and make success. impossible in No
vember than they are to advance the
now hopeless candidacy of the Vice
president. who from present indica-
tions will not have a delegate vote
outside of his own state of Indiana"

CONDITIONS IN PANAMA.
Richard Farrell Says That Workers
on Canal Arc Healthy md Happy.

Richard Farrell. formerly OF this
city, now Of Panama. Is visiting his
parents on North Champaign street
for a few weeks. Mr.. Farrell reports
conditions among the canal workers
as being very favorable. There are
now four newspapers printed in Eng
lish In the canal zone and the en-
ploycs there have about all the COM
forts of life which they enjoyed In the
states. There is now no yellow fever
among the canal workers and In fact
very little sickness of any kind. AS
Farrell said that in the village of
Lascascada In which he lived,
place of about 500 white inhabitants
there was AZ steam locomotives at
work. All the vegetables of New Eng
land, such as corn, cucumbers, etc.
tho grown there abundantly hut the
government does not allow it's en-
ployes to use them for fear of con
tracing sickness
An interesting feature OF the life
there is the lottery which Is run for
the profit of the Panama government
No tickets are allowed to be sold on
the canal zone but they are sold in all
the leading clowns OF Parma. The
tickets sell for sl.2b each. The first
prize is $500 with other prizes rang
ing down to IS. The lotteries are run
off every Sunday.
