Senator Allison was the last link which
Joined the United States of the civil war
era with the United States OF today. When
he entered the House Of Representatives
In 1868 the rebellion was in its middle stage.
Gettysburg and Vicksburg were still to be
fought, while A~ppomattox was far in the
distance, There were only thirty-four
states at that time, and eleven of these
were unrepresented in congress.
OF tine men in public life on the national
stage when, in 1862, Allison was first
elected to congress, none are now in of
flee anywhere, and few are alive. Lincoln
was then president, Grow was near the
end of his term as speaker, and Colfax
was to go to that post In the house when
Allison entered. In one or other branch
Of that first congress OF Allison's were

Missouri, Kelley and Randall OF Pennsyl-

multuous period. OF those here mentioned,
all died long before Allison.

DEnuRRAGE LAW TO BE TIES TED.

A case of state wide interest has been COM
menced by B. E. Corey & Co. against the Great
Northern Railway company under the rec1pro-
cal demurrage law passed by the last 1egis-
1a+ure and the constitutionality OF that law will
be tested.
There is little or no dispute about the facts
and the case will be fought upon question OF
law. The railroad company says, IN it's answer
that it is engaged in interstate transportation
and operates it's entire system as a whole; that
# cannot make any fixed and arbitrary division
and apportionment of it's cars between the
several parts or points of its SYSTEM but must
distribute them fairly and indiscriminately and
according to the demands of traffic in each
state.
It also says that to comply with the de-
,,,,,rraoe law as to interstate business would
operate as discrimination against persons de-
string cars for the shipment of commodities
and property in interstate commerce.
The road also contends that the demurrage
law is unconstitutional and void, in that 1t at
tempts to regulate interstate commerce; that
the law is in conflict with act of congress,
entitled can act to regulate commerce., aP-
proved February 4, 1887, and all acts amend
atory thereof.
The case will be watched with great in
terest as there are many persons who have de-
mirage claims against railroads by virtue of
this law Many shippers have paid demurrage
charges to the railroad companies since the
law.took effect and if the law should be declared
unconstitutional, the companies would likely
be called upon to refund the moneys paid

THAT ..FRIENDLY" CONTEST.

was becoming too bitter, and deplored the fact
that it could have only one result-the elimina-
ton of both of them This very thing is now
being urged sooner than we expected, as is
noted in the following remarks of the Atwater
Republcan-Press and the Belview Independ-
ent. The former says
"Aready we begin to hear the suggestion,
"better drop both Jacobson and Young and take
up third, new man." This is just what we
lexpected and predicted, it's part of the game to
get candidate who will be satisfactory
Ito certain interests. These interests hate
Young and they have always stood in dread of
Jacobson. It's simply question of which one
they now hate the most and that appears to be
Young. But no one must be led to believe that
they love Jacobson, the sole and only, reason
that they seemingly, we say seemingly,
supper ting Jacobson is to kill off the attorney
general The latter has been their more recent
foe and his proddings are still fresh. There
fore their most vindictve fight is more against
him. To us the situation looks deplorable, de-
plorable in this respect, that two good men are
thus made the scapegoats of political cunning
and averice. For it is averice that dictates the
opposition to these men, those who would undo
them are all actuated by motives entirely per-
sonal and in opposition to sound and decent
public policy. It is the last desperate stand of
spo;ls-men and interests advocates to keep
themselves in the saddle and stave off the pro-
gressive and moral legislation that the people
of most all classes demand It's desperate
game and regret that the zeaousness of the
friends of Messrs. Young and Jacobson enhances
the chances of the schemers We sincerely
hope that a way may be found to nominate one
or the other; we are for Mr.. Young first, but if
he cannot win we want Mr.. Jacobson to win.
The interests that would do up both must not
be allowed to accomplish their purpose"
And the Belview Independent says
"The present indications that the friend
ly" contest for nomination governor between
Young and Jacobson has gone ginmering and
in it's place has contest in which it is
anything for the COON 1t is bad for the party
but time the people will get into the
game and put end to this kind of monkey
business. Possibly either of the gentlemen
are worthy of the honor their merits but the
state will not go to the demnition bowows if
neither of them happen to be chosen. There
are others who would fill the position all right,
all right"
We believe however, that it is not yet too
late for the friends of these two candidates
drop this unseemly contest.

Blue-grass blade. [volume] (Lexington, Ky.) 188?-19??, 1908-02-09
Editorial
THE VALUE OF CRITICISM.

That the Blade should be deemed a
TRAITOR to truth" by reason of per-
hitting the publication of ideas not
in accord with it's teaching is strange
and startling proposition. The truth
has nothing to fear from criticism.
The truths of Freethought demand and
invite criticism. Having extended the
invitation and insisted upon the de-
mand, it would be an act of cowardice
to close the doors against discussion
1t is impossible to secure honest dis
cussion with the elements mentioned
by the Blades critics and having en-
couraged discussion and invited criti-
cism, the Blade must and shall forever
stand as an open forum wherein truth
may be dissected and in the dissection
its strength will be made manifest.
The Blade can sympathze with Mr.
Kerr in his struggle to build up
society Of free men and women, but
that building can never be won nor
