Playing Politics to the Limit
During the four weeks intervening, however,
. limit of politics has been played by both
20 IS and republicans in the effort to
~ 02v n advantage in the race and break
tn n adlock. The principal vehicle for
charges and countercharges has been a bill
to extend the provisions Of the county unit
local option prohibition law uniformly to all
counties of the state The republicans have
charged that the Beckman democrats have
used this bill as a Legislative football, seeking
first to deal with the recalcitrant democrats
by agreeing to hold up the bill and failing in
that to hang it over their heads as a punish
ment for their failure to support the demo
cratic nominee
On the other hand, the prohibition demo-
Gratis assert that the republicans have violated
the emphatic declarations Of their last state
platform by voting with the socalled liquor
democrats to delay the bill. It was charged
by the Beckham democrats last week, that an
agreement was reached whereby the repubE-
cans were to deliver 40 votes to delay the
prohibition bill in exchange for four votes
from the minority democrats to unseat two
democratic representatives, thus putting Brad
ley within three votes Of victory On the
day when this charge was first made. forty
republicans voted to delay the bill which the
democrats assert is a vindication Of this
accusation.
Great Uncertainty Prevails
Contest eases involving the seats of demo-
cratic Representative Mahin, of Jessamine
county, and Woodford of Bourbon county.
will undoubtedly come up early in the
week and the Beckham democrats say it will
then be disclosed whether the minority demo-
Gratis will keep their part Of the alleged bar
gain
In the meantime the friends of Beckham
are making every effort to prevent the loss
OF any of their votes. With Speaker Gooch.
strong Beckham man, so far, they have held
the whip hand, but the greatest uncertainty
prevails and no matter what might be the out
come, few would be surprised
The constant effort of the democrats who
are opposing Beckham, has been to present
the name of some democrats, who might
prove powerful enough to induce some of
the Beckham men to desert him.
Senator McCreary, Henry Watterson, former
Senator Blackburn, Colonel John r. Allen and

washington, u. u, rep. 15.-Ihe most
enthusiastic advocates of the Appalachian for
est reserve project realize the evident hope
1essness of the situation in so far as the de-
sired legislation at this session Of congress
is concerned. Should the judiciary committee
Of the house report favorably as to the con-
stitutionality of the proposed legislation there
would then be little hope of the passage of a
bill at this session, because it is generally be-
heved that an early adjournment is in sight
The present program, according to the best
informed members Of congress- contemplates
as little legislation as possible. 1t is stated
that only the appropriation measures and
currency bill, if possible of passage through
the house, will be permitted after which ad-
journment will be speedily taken.
Much Law is Involved.
AS was pointed out in the Journal of Friday,
the constitutionality of the forest reserve pro-
ject is no small subject. It is recognized by
the lawyers Of congress-the friends as we'll
as the enemies of the measure-that the ques-
ton is a big one, embodying many shades, of
finely drawn legal lights and shadows It is
believed that the investigation of the question
will lead the Judiciary committee through
perfect mass of complicated and technical de-
cisions of the United States Supreme Court
bearing upon the powers of congress under the
constitution with reference to innumberabIe
matters and extending over the entire republic.
Even the best of lawyers disagree as to the
Interpretation of court decisions and laws. and
it's foregone conclusion that among the
membership of the committee there will de-
velop dozens Of conflicting views with refer
ence to the question
The Importance of the Appalachian and
White Mountain project is fully realized by
practically every member of congress, and it's
merits has appealed ito many Of them But,
as has been developed it's doubtful constitu-
tionality has stood in its way.
At Work on Committee
It now developed that the agricultural COM
mittee of the house is evidently favorable to
the reserve but the passage of the Bartlett
resolution makes futile any action the COM
mittee may take. Even if one of the bills
should be favorably reported, the house would
not consider it's merits until the Judiciary COM
mittee has reported upon the constitutionality
of the project as the resolution does
The friends of forest reserve appreciate the
situation fully and they are now planning to
direct their attention towards the judiciary
committee and hasten, if possible, report. 1t
of course behooves them to establish the con-

All Tobacco Growers To
Act In Harmony.
Meeting Called for DavieSS C0un-
ty to Take Steps to
Limit Crop.

1t is believed that the two factions
of tobacco growers in Daviess county
and which has extended somewhat
to surrounding counties will soon be
working in harmony and that Equity
will be stronger than ever in the Green
River country. An important meeting
of growers of all elements has been
called to meet at Owensboro TO
morrow and it is thought that this
may provethe forerunner of better
understandings
The committie consisting of Henry
S. Berry, John King and Hiram
Marksberry has issued the following
call for the mass meeting:
Recognizing the importances Of
keeping the acreage of tobacco down
in keeping with the demand and also
approaching the fact that unless
some concerted action and a plan be
adopted whereby the growers will, in
writing, pledge themselves in an
agreement not 10 grow only spcci-
fled amount of tobacco in The year
1905, we, the undersigned, hereby
make call for every tobacco grower,
whether in the past he affiliated
with the Home or Louisville ware
house OF whether he acted indepen-
DENLY, 10 meet AT the court house in
Owcnsboro at 10 am, Saturday, Feb.
s, TO take steps whereby the Sense OF
the entire county can be taken as 10
whether we will limit the acreage in
190S We believe that 1t is impor-
tant for every grower in the county
together by one plan or another,
namely, all cut the 1908 crop 10 an
agreed plan or Let all grow whatever
acreage ne pleases. We urge that all
tobacco growers be present, as we
wish 10 make arrangements whereby
the county will be canvassed closer
Than ever before on the acreage, as
unless 80 per cent. of the growers
sign said agreement all will be al
lowed 10 grow whatever one pleases."

Invites Disaster.

A sort of personal political doctrine
has supplanted original parry policy
and principles; the solemn declarations
of Republican platforms are violated
with impunity and the principles of Pro-
lection to American industry no longer
commands decent respect among a
large element of Republicans. To an
extent the party has Stolen the doc
lrine upon which the Democratic party
has gone TO ignominous defeat with
a single exception in forty years, and
it may possibly succeed in ENGRAVING
that doctrine into the party expression
of faith at the coming national con-
vention. Free-Trade is no longer held
to be the instrument of disaster,
the lesson of experience having been
forgotten. The cry is for the bars TO
be let down; American labor has no
claims that are paramount 10 the
cheap labor of foreign countries, Free
Trade and reciprocity in competitive
products take precedence over the
time-honored principle of Protection.
The people have become so hypnotized
and infatuated over certain policies"
as regards corporate wealth that
every other vital principle of Republi-
canism is sidetracked.
1t will be indeed remarkable if This
does not result i'll Gisas' or in the near
future. Il certainly invites Il.

the Republican parry have upon the

HANCOCK union
GOES ON RECORD
1t Would Limit The. Acreage
Would Require License For
Excess.

The Hancock county union of the
A. s. of +. met in regular session
at Hawesville on Saturday, February
l. j Owing to The bad weather the
those present were old line, true blue
members, they held a very enthu-
siastic meeting.
The secretary made his annual re-
port, which was adopted.
The chef business transacted at
ibis meeting was the following COM
mittee reports, which were adopted.
We, the committee on resolutions
of the Hancock county union of the
A. S. of E., in session at Hawesville
KY, report as follows:
Whereas, We find that few of the
farmers remaining outside the So
ciety for the purpose of raising and
having raised on their farms large
crops of tobacco which they place on
the open market at good prices, caus-
ed by the efforts of the members of
the A. S. of E., inviting and assisting
the trust TO continue their ruinous
fight upon the tobacco growers of the
commonwealth.
Therefore be it resolved, that we,
the farmers of Hancock county by the
conviction that the curtailing of the
tobacco of 1908 is the only salvation
for the tobacco grower of Kentucky
and that it is better to prevent than
to punish crimes, and that the condi-
ton of the masses of our people de-
mand this step.
Therefore, be 1t resolved, in the
name of the farmers of Hancock
county, we do hereby petition the
general assembly now in session TO
enact law providing a tax of $50
for all tobacco raised in excess of
10000 hills to the man.

far this week there has been received

and the Chihuahua Mining company's
properties at Sta. Eulalia to Chas. NJ.

1t is thought that he will bring the

there has been no official information
received concerning the big. deal, it
is still confidently believed that 1t is
practically, if not entirely consumated.
