ROoseyelt's Democracy.

Protesting against the fire.
quent mistake of divers and sun
dry Democratic speakers and
writer's of referring to President
Roosevelt as a good Democrat
the Louisville Times says he per-
sonifes all that is antagonistic to
the two cardinal tenets of the
Democratic faith-a tariff for
revenue only and home rule.
Roosevelt, says the Times, per
sonifies all that is antagonistic to
them. He has not written a.
word nor preached a line against
the rotten theories of protection
which are now affecting the Ma
ton through the practical medi-
um of the Dingley law. With all
his illumination against rapacious
wealth he has not lifted his voice
nor his pen to denounce this in
iquitous source of trusts and this
responsible fountain of trustism,
And as for home rule, he has
shown a hatred for this that is
almost a passion. The whole
trend of his administration has
been to matter down the doors
and let federalism overun the
home grounds. He has cham
pioned the amendment of the
Constitution by judicial construc-
ton as mems to overthrow the
rights of the individual States
and set up the power of the Fed
eral government as administered
by a high and mighty President.
To amend the Constitution by
judicial Interpretation instead of
by the act of the great common
people, nothing is more incom-
patible with Democracy pure
and undefiled than this obhor.
rent project. To wipe out the
sovereignth of the State!-noth-
ing is more discordant with real
Democracy than such a thing"
The B. r. State draws an aw-
full moral from the wreck of Gov.
Beckham's career because he
disappointed the hopes of the
young Democracy of Kentucky
to align himself with the profess
sional politicians. The State.
from such reasoning should be
able to draw as well the parallel
that exists in this state.

get back;" if he wants to punish
the political machinists who beat
him; if he wants to accomplish
something for pure election
methods he must not adopt ex
post facto methods. He must go
after it from the right end. He
must adopt preventive tactics.

preventive tactics" means the
escape of the guilty this time,
and would bring to them the sigh
of relief that the small boy heaves
when his mother says: en- let
you off this time, but next time
III whip you within an inch of
your life. Next time is four years
hence. In politics as in home
rule, there is no time like the
present.
1t is not the site of a town, but
it's character that makes it a de-
sirable place to live. A live,
prosperous town is a desirable
one to live in and town may
prosper and yet be small. Every
citizen in a town should be inter
ested in it's prosperity. One of
the best ways to help a town is to
speak well of it. It is true pa
triotisln to stand by your own
town, and interests that affect
the town should affect every citi-
zen. -Bastrop Enterprise.
And there is no better criteri-
on of how a man stands in his
own town than the way he speaks
of it to Strangers. The knocker
is either a man of no force or i'm.
portance in his home town or he
has never done a single public
spirited act for it's benefit. 1t is
human nature to love what one
has fostered and cared for, and
| it is safe to infer that he who
loves his own town or parish is
in turn esteemed there.
With a fair field and no favor
from the city ward bosses, Bailey
would have beaten Lambremont

was the city block that blocked
Bailey's progress and let his
competitor in on the face of the

Prohibition Items.

Not a single prohibition town
or city has been found among the
hundreds, where doing away
with license has raised taxes.
Eighty five per cent of, the
crimes of our country is trace
able to intoxicating drink. Can
any fee be made high enough to
pay for this? 1t may be that you
can fad a warrant for it if it is
another mans son or daughter
that is the victim; but what if it
is yours
Do you say it is best not to
have prohibition because such a
law is certain to be violated, that
Whiskey will be sold anyway?
Well suppose it is. Suppose, too,
that the same thing should be
said in the case of stealing, gam
bling and of murder. AS a
matter of fact, are not the laws
against stealing, gambling and
murder all violated? What do
you do in the case? Repeal your
laws on the ground they cannot
be enforced? No, you try to en-
force them.
The effect of prohibition in
Atlanta, Ga. is a matter of wide
spread interest, and though the
timesince the ban went into OPP
Grafton Jan. /, 1908, is short, here
are some tangible good results.
Many grocers and other dealers
claim to have had better cash
trade than usual for this season
of the year. The principal of a
public school located in a section
of wage earners says, I have
noticed a great many new
shoes since prohibition went in
to effect The children are wear
ing better clothes. /"
In order to get definite facts
in regard to the effect of prohibi-
ton as it relates to crime, a visit
made to the police court: Judge
Broyles and his clerk, Mr.. W.
Fl. Preston, were alone in the
room at an hour when formerly
it was packed with violators of
law. Judge Broyles gave me
the records for Jan. 1907 with
high license, and Jan. 1908 un-
der prohibition. The total num-
Der of cases entered on the police
docket for Jan. 1908, was 1868,
for Jan. 1903, 637. The total
number Of cases for drunkenness
in Jan. 1907, 553; in Jan. 1908,
