CAPTIONS, CRITICS AND PoLITl-
CAL CRITICISMS.

CAL CRITICISMS.
1t is hard to please the persistent
critics. The Standard Oil company
has always been the pet bugaboo of
the antitrust shouters. Now that
the attorney general and the secre-
tary of state have begun proceedings
to determine whether this company
has been violating the antitrust laws
of the state, by discriminating in the
sale of its product, we find the Dem
ocratic and Insurgent critics BELT
Ting the prosecution and stating that
there are other laws that should be
enforced before the officials tackle
the real octopus.
All of which indicates that the
public official gets little credit from
his political opponents for anything
ne does and that real sincerity of
criticism has mighty small place
in practical politics. So far as the
Tribune is concerned, it believes the
Standard Oil company has very nee
essary and practical functions to per-
form in the business of the country.
1t does not believe it is necessary to
chop off the head of the octopus and
leave it mangled and bleeding along
side of the highway But it believes
an inquiry by the attorney general
and the officials charged with that
duty, into complaints that have been
made of discrimination in the sale
of its product, is very proper and
wise proceeding, and that the officials
charged with it should be given the
active support of their people, to the
end that evils may be corrected and
justice done, both to the people and
to the corporation under inquiry.
1t is the understanding of the Trib-
une that complaints have been filed
with the attorney general that the
Standard Oil company has violated
the laws of the state by discriminat-
ing in the sale of its products. This
being the case, the attorney general
has filed with the secretary of state
complaint, calling upon the defend
ant company to answer, and the
secretary of state, as the official
charged with that duty under the
law, has issued summons to the
officials of the company and fixed a
time to appear
All of this is very right and proper
and in good form and order. If it
shall appear that the company has
been violating the laws of the state,
then we shall no doubt, through the
proper officials, find means to correct
such violation and to impose such
penalty as good sense and a proper
understanding of the case would in
dictate to be Just. In the meantime
1t is well to give the officials of the
state the credit they deserve for
their desire to get the facts in the
case, and not to discourage proper at.
fention to official duties by CAPT
GUS criticism or the idle charge that
the prosecution is political. Such a
charge might be made with as much
justice with regard to many things
the prohibition stand of various of.
ficials. the frequent and persistent
declarations with regard to law en-
forcement, the shifting of RESPONSE
bility by one department to another
Officials of the state are entitled tx
be criticised in good faith, and are
equally entitled to credit for the per
Torrance of their duties. Let us b.
fair and decent all around.

On the border between the
Bluegrass and the noun

why a woman should not
fill this position.

The mountain woman has
never driven a cab, shaved
a man, or hustled a criminal
to jail. No necessity for
women cab drivers, bar
bers, or policemen has de-
veloped in mountain ham
let or mountain fastness. 1t
is doubtful if such occupa-
tons would appeal to her,
if her country afforded
field for such labor. Yet,
with her originality, energy,
and determination, the
mountain woman is capable
of giving to the world many
surprises. Whatever she
may undertake, whether it
be a corner on lumber or
coal, or control of a national
convention, it will be done
without noise and buster,
and with plans SO adroitly
laid as to insure her project
against defeat.

The largest boundary of timbered land in the hill
country is owned and managed by this woman. She
superintends the cutting and manufacture of it into
lumber and ties. She makes her sales, and en-
cages in all lines of the work with unbounded en-
ergy. Many times, when laborer fails to appear,
she takes his place in the yard, measuring lumber,
inspecting ties, loading bark or whatever may be
required Perhaps the day will see her, dressed
in stylish tailor suit driving to the nearest rail-
way station, where she will board train for some
large city to close contracts to make deals in
volving thousands of dollars.

Women Redeeming the Communities

WHETHER it is because she is actuated by the
w same ambition that moves her lord to tireless
fighting or by his absorption in his feud, that she
is forced to engage in remunerative business,
is matter of mere conjecture. But the fact re-
mains, astonishing it may seem, that while the
Kentucky mountaneer battles for what he believes
to be his honor his rights, the female members of
his family are with the energy and the same
determination pursuing some course of study that
will enable them to sustain themselves and to be-
come useful members of their feud ridden and much
abused community

MUCH has been said and
AvA written of the Kentucky
mountaineer, dealing chiefly
with his bloodthirsty nature,
his ignorance, and his pro-
pensity to feud life. 1t is
true that scores of men in the
mountains of Kentucky have
wasted the best years of their
lives in avenging some real
or fancied wrong.
This alone has caused the
mountaineer's characteris-
tics to be most prominently
displayed to public view; but
little has been said or known
to the outside world of his
mother, his sister. his wife,
or his daughter. 1t may have
been conjectured that she re-

daughter is in college, preparing to meet the ext

All through the mountain region are to be found
women whose aspirations are lofty, who have high
ideals and strong hopes of attaining them; and
though it is a fact of which the outside world re-

the Kentucky highlands are to be found more bust

the Republicans are working hard
and confidently hop to win in one
or the other.
A bomb was thrown into the Demo
cratic camp at Richmond recently
when it was that Taft club of sew
eral hundred of Richmond's leading
bankers and business men had been
organized. These men are tired OF
Bryan and Organism. They are all
engaged in legitimate business en-
terprises. Everything is going well
with them and they do not want
their fortunes risked by the election
of so uncertain and dangerous a man
as Bryan. What effect this Taft
club will have on the state at large
cannot be foretold at this time, but
i shows the way the wind is blow
ing. There has been no hullaballoo
about the organization OF this club.
1t has nothing to do with the reg
u!ar Republican organization, but is
composed solely of Democrats who
have pledged themselves to do al in
their power to get votes for Taft in
Virginia.
The Republicans of North Caro-
lima are also doing serious work.
They have fer the first step concen-
rated their efforts On the Eight
congressional district which was
carried by the Democrats two years
ago by small majority. That this
district will go Republican this fall
is certain. There is also fair
chance in the state at large.
Al these conditions are encourag-
ing to Republican leaders. They in
dictate an inclination on the part of
the voters throughout the country to
think calmly over the presidential
campaign.
