Head of National Window

Samuel Gompers.

Reply has been raade by A. L..
Faulkner. president o fthe National
WINDOW Glass Workers. to the attack
OF Samuel Gompers on Judge Taft
In letter addressed to Wade a.
Ellis, attorney general. President
Faulkner says:
: u have just seen in the newspa-
pers your statements concerning the
attitute of organized labor in this
-Ra1npaign. You were right in saying
the workingmen of America, and
especially the members and leaders of
the more progressive labor unions are
not following Samuel Gompers In his
support OF Bryan.
-'Organized labor is divided in this
campaign, as 1t has been in all pres
idential contests heretofore. Just as
in the past, SO in the present large
majority OF labor leaders and work
iugmen are supporting the policy of
the Republican party.
II have no desire to dictate how my
shall vote. Each
man should decide for himself with
out fear of Offending Mr.. Gompers
or anybody else. Speaking individually
and not as president of the National
Window Glass Workers, feel It my
duty to say that have. examined the
record OF Judge Taft on the bench
and elsewhere In plBfSric life and
know his Injunction decisions as well
as his conduct ut az times to have
been friendly to workinsmen be-.
leYe the real Interests of the members
of my organization. as VII as organ

served by the election of William II.

hope to see him the next President of

Bryan FOUGHT
PENSION SYSTEM
Glasses Old Soldiers Virtual
ly as Beggars.in Speech
in Congress.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. q
William Jennings Bryan is opposed to
the Federal policy of pensFoning old
soldiers. In speech which he made
in Congress in 1892. he classes old
soldiers virtually as rbeggars; and says
that they are despoiling the govern
.ment OF enough money to run an ordi-
nary government. Part of the speech
follows:
The next session of Congress will
have TO wrestle with one deficiency Of
$36. 900, 900 This is on account OF
pensions The apr opriatIon for next
year must be not less than $15 o, 000,-
900. This tremendous sum. which
would In Itself be enough to run a
reasonable government. the govern

is an honest debt, and large proper

It was never earned by any fact of
patriotism or heroic service. The

PREVENTION THE OBJECT.

In rejecting on the enormity of the
offenses committed by men in high
places we sometimes forget, in the
overwhelming indignation of the mo-
ment, that the law does not say what
we may do; but what We may not do.
and we condemn those. who fail TO
convict these great wrongdoers OF
criminal conduct. The criminal law
Is strictly defined. II is so for the
little offenders, and II must be so for
the big ones. Wrong their conduct
may be morally; but If there is no
provision in the criminal law, cover
ing their particular offense, they can
not be sent to prison.
And would we have it so, If we
could? Ofenses committed in con-
spicuous places, where we condemn
them, differ only in degree from
those that are every day incidents of
ordinary life. We declare that under
the blighting influence of the selfish
and greedy conduct of commercial
leaders. the youth of the country is
being reared TO a false standard of
right and wrong; but do We ever con-
slider that these men we condemn so
severely have been reared under a
standard OF morality observed by us,
and that, possibly. they are carrying
into the greater sphere the rules they
learned in our circumscribed world?
We have unmeasured obloquy for
the stock manipulation, who swindles
confiding investors; but who would
think OF buying spring vegetables by
telephone, or taking the other fellow S

TAX REFORM.

After years of working the State
Development association has seen the
constitutional amendment, taking
down the bars TO tax reform, passed
through one house of the general as
|sembly IL may be that while the
swift stream of legislation is damned
with the senatorial deadlock, only billy
with public pressure behind them will
pass. Certainly, that tax proposition
has good backing in the business
men, who have been endeavoring to
have the burden so adjusted that
capital will be attracted to Kentucky,
instead of driven away. and the rev.
enue will be made sufficient. The aa
valorem system that Classics every
thing alike is the first. simple step in
taxation. Kentucky and many sister
states have never advanced beyona
that point. Men of patriotism and in
telligence have given much thought
to this subject: and scientific prin-
ciples have bees invoked in solving
the problem of the distribution of the
cost of government, so that 1t will be
just to all and beneficial to the indus
trial and commercial welfare of the
people. All,the constitutional amend
ment. which no doubt will 6e SUBJ

ture, seeks is to remove the restric-
tions on the legislature. so that IL
may act in conformity with modern
