HARRY E. NSLEY HERE MONDAY.

H. E. Insley. one of the recent
defeated candidates on the SPeer
ticket in the Denver election and
a we'll known Democratic leader.
was in the city the first of the
week in company with ]. S. Mu-
luney, of New York. who is
present editor of the weekly Tam
many Times OF New York. While
here the party were in conference
with John T. Barnett. George
Bradley and other politicians of
lesser light-News Item in Ouray
Herald of June IL.
And on Monday. the 18th. the
Ouray delegation voted to seat
Speer and Mr.. Barnett was the
leader in an effort to defeat the
report of the committee on reso-
lutions. We would not for worlds
suggest that there was any con-
nection between the two incl
dents. for the very good reason
that we have no idiots on our
subscription list and any man
with as much sense as God gave
geese can reason it out for him..

A CAMPAIGN LIE.

The charge has been made that
Mr.. Bryan stumped the state of
Nebraska against the prohibition
amendment to the constitution
pending in 1890. That may be
set down as a lie. In that year
Mr.. Bryan was a candidate for
congress and he was necessarily
making a campaign on that issue.
Taking up either side Of the
prohibition controversy. on which
there was so great a diversity of
opinion among the voters of all
parties, would have been wholly
foreign to the matter he had in
hand and. besides, would have
been as impolitic as it was un-
necessary. The editor of this
paper was an active participant
in that prohibition campaign and
travelled over all the southern and
eastern part of Nebraska where
Mr.. Bryan lived. He kept very
close track of the speakers on
both sides OF the question, but
never heard of Mr.. Bryan as a
speaker in that campaign. Mr..
Bryan certainly was not one OF
the regular speakers and we
doubt whether he ever mentione d
the issue at all in any speech he
made. If he had "stumped" the
state, the writer would certainly
have known it. 1t is simply
another story like the one abou,
his receiving money from Ryan
OF New York-a lie out of whole
cloth.

The Denver Post is having
another of its spasms of virtue.
These spasms recur periodically
at such times as its blackmail
money ceases to come in. When
the News and Times were carry
ing on a successful campaign
against licensed gambling in Den
yer, the Post made continuous
scurrillous attacks on Sen. Patter-
son and lauded the virtues of
Mayor Speer as a business mayor.
But the Post failed to get in on
the Overland Association and.
since the state convention. Speer
doesn't deem it profitable to keep
the Post on his pay roll. The
Post IS therefore enjoying a
spasm of virtue. The race track

as it asserts by Speer and Patter-
son. moves the Post to righteous
wrath and in consequence it has
begun war on Speer. The war
will continue until Speer puts the
Post on his pay roll again.

A BITTER PILL.

From a purely partisan stand
point it is simply lawful" for a
republican Legislature to be in
honor bound to elect democrat
to the u. S. senate because the
people at primary election chose
him in preference to the republi-
can aspirant. as is now the case
in Oregon. The party boss and
party machine put up a vigorous
kick of course. Voters align
themselves with the various par

ties because of belief in certain
political principles and policies
for which these parties are sup
posed to stand. but under the sys-
TEN of election by the dominant
party in state Legislature, men
are placed in the u. S. senate,
who could never even be nomi-
mated by a vote OF the whole
party, much less be elected by
vote of the whole people and who
justify the distrust of the people
by their subsequent record in
Office. BY the primary system it
is not sufficient that a candidate
calls himself by the dominant
party name, he must enjoy the
confidence of the people. And
what. legitimate objection can
there be to that1 Designing pol
iticians. tools of corporate inter-
ests can not buy the senatorial
toga where the primary system
relegates the choice of candidates
to vote of the people. as they
do in states whose legislatures
make the choice. The primary
system is democratic, safe and
sane and is certain OF final adop-
tion in all the states.

The big treasury deficit will be
handy in case Bryan should be
elected. In that event the "inter-
ests" would point out that any
lowering of the tariff would bank
rupt the nation. By the aid of
the new emergency currency"
law, the bankers can start a panic
and load down Uncle Sam with
millions of worthless railroad
bonds. then squeeze the water out
of them and incidently squeeze
the life out of the laborer. What
beautiful object lesson. The
dear people will be told "see
what you get by electing demo-
cratic president"
The newspaper., 1908-06-19

The man who is right and pur-
sues his course regardless of the
fact that his ideas are not popular
will find public opinion running
his way in due time. Note that
Bryan's ideas in 1895 and 1900
were denounced as idiotic, but
the adoption of them by Roose-
welt has made the popular ap-
proval come his way. These
ideas were no more idiotic years
ago than they are now. but the
public has seen a great light.
Bryan was right then. he is right
now and has been right all the
time.

AN INTERESTING GAME.
The St. Mary's Base BaIIiTeam De.
feated the Lindsey-WiIson
Team Last Saturday.
A LARGE CROWD. 7PERfECT ORDER.

One of the most interesting games of
base ball ever played in Columbia was
called last Saturday afternoon, the
participants being team from the st
Mary's College and the Lindsey Wilson
team at this place.
|. The boys were in fine trim on both
sides and up to the sixth inning only
four scores had been made and they
were credited two and two. In the
seventh inning two errors were made
by players of the home team and the
visitors run in four scores, and when
the latter half of the ninth inning was
finished the score stood to in favor
of st Marys.
The contest drew a large crowd to
the campus and when it closed it was
pronounced one of the most interesting
and orderly games ever played in Co.
lumbia.
Romie Judd, who was the pitcher for
the home team, deserves especial praise.
He famed out sixteen men and was as
good the last inning as he was the
first. AS catcher, Bud Stearman
knows his business and did fine work.
In fact no member of the club has
anything to regret. They were defeat
ed by an honorable set of young men
in square game.
Mr.. e. G. Atkins umpired the game
and his rulings were satisfactorily to
both clubs.
Next Saturday the Lindsey Wilson
will meet st. Marys on their grounds.

A GOOD RECORD.


III. 8. N. Hancock who is 2 student
in the Theological Department of the
Bradley Polytechnic Institute, at Peoria,
Ill, sends good news to his parents,
Judge Junius Handbook and wife, of this
city. Recently in class of Ii whopass-
ed rigid examination in optics he re
ceived the highest grade, averaging 97a,
and the highest grade ever given in that
department except one who had receiv-
ed SO. This standing should be highly
gratifying to his parents and his many
friends in this section. He is also
working in the jewelry and watch ma
chine department and the many speci-
mems sent his parents show that he is
rapidly advancing in that skilled pro-
fession. The specimens of set rings.
spoons, pins and various parts of a
watch are as neat in workmanship as
ever seen in jewelry store. The fact
is that he is a natural mechanic, and
when he leaves that institution he will
be thoroughly prepared to give the best
service to the most exacting and we
predict that he will succeed beyond his
fondest expectations.

COLUMBIA ADAIR COUNTY, KENTUCKY WEDNESDAY, APRIL s. 1908

A report has gained circulation in the
Cane Valley section that DIR. ]. N.
Page, of this place, is going out Of the
drug business. The Doctor has at no time
entertained such an idea, as he knows
no other business and is permanently
located. He says that he has been
handling paints and that he told sew
eral part es that he intended to quit that
business, and perhaps that accounts for
the report that he was going out ofsthe
drug trade.
