Absent Mlndedness.

POLITICAL NEWS ITEMS.

We have heard some criticism
by gentlemen of both political par
ties on the political news items that
we publish. Several Democrats
have found fault with certain tele-
grams because they seemed to favor
the Republican party. On the
other hand, we have had Republi-
cans take exception to the Demo
cratic leanings of certain items.
We get our telegraphic news from
the American Press Association
a non partisan company.
This organization sends the same
news to Democratic and Republican
papers. 1t is like the Associated
Press and the United Press AssD,i-
alton. 1t gives the facts as they
are. No great organic alton of this
kind could exist and sell news to
papers % all shades of political
opinion unless it was absolutely
without political bias of any kind.
The News receives its bulletins
over the Postal Telegraph Com
pany's wiles up to two O'Clock each
day. 1t uses them as it gets them.
1t does not color them in any way.
If the news is objected to be-
cause it is favorable to one party
or the other it is the fault of the
news itself, not ours.
2 AS an example of our care in
handling a political news item we
will cite a single. instance. On
election night we, of course, wanted
to give the results of the race in
the. Tenth Congressional District
in Wednesday mornings extra edi-
ton. What purported to be the ma
jorities in the various counties of
the district came to us during the
evening from both Democratic and
Republican politicians. We accept
ed neither. The News spent con-
siderable money that night in get
The Winchester news. [volume] (Winchester, Ky.) 1908-19??, 1908-11-06

ting as near the correct results as
possible. On the morning after the
election, our figures showed that
Langley had carried the di strict by
about 1900 votes. To-day, the full
er reports show that Langley actu-
ally received majority of over
1000.
On Tuesday night, the Courier
Journal, of Louisville, Democratic
newspaper, called up the Office of
The News by long distance tele-
phone and asked for the majorities
in the Tenth District. On the same
evening, The Lexington Leader, a
Republican newspaper, asked the
sime question over the same long
distance line. And both papers
used the information given by The
News. Each knew that the inform
alton was furnished without bias
or political coloring and was as
nearly correct as our facilities made
possible.
In this connection we desire to
make PLAIN statement. We do not
expect to please the politicians of
either party. But a small percent
age of those who read the paper are
interested in politics further than
to get the news. This we propose
to give. We appreciate the liberal
patronage that we are getting from
all classes of our citizens. With this
liberal patronage continued, we ex-
pect to make paper of which every
citizen will be proud, and the time
will come, we are confident, when
even the politicians viii see that
the course we are pursuing is the
best possible.

PROUD OF THE RESULT.

There is one result of the election
with which all good citizens whether
they be Republicans or Democrats,
can be satisfied. Governor Patter-
son, of Tennessee, has been re-elect-
ed.
On the very eve of the election
when he heard of the dreadful muir
der of Rankin at Reelfoot Lake by
night riders, he cancelled all Of his
political engagements and his speak
ing dates, and left his campaign to
take care of>itself. His duty called
him to aid in the arrest of these mid
night assassins. This was to him
far more important task than the
pursuit of his political ambition.
And the result showed that his course
instead OF, Losing him his race, helped
to return him to the gubernatorial
seat
The good citizens of every State
are infinitely in the majority. At
times, thew, through indifference, al
low men Of criminal instincts to pur-
sue this work unchallenged and I'M
punished. But these indifferent cit
liens finally wake up and when they
do, they make short work of such
criminals.
The night riding crimes could never
have made head In Kentucky and
Tennessee and elsewhere unless thew
had been tacitly winked at by So
called good citizens. In no county OF
this State would they have gone un-
punished but for the silent support
of certain element of the popula-
ton. The murder of Hedges stiii
cries aloud for vengeance in the ric.l
and intelligent county of Harrison.
And when the tally is finally taken
when the law-abiding citizen finally
rouses himself, then woe betide the of
flee holder who has failed to do his
duty. And these midnight towards.
who under the cover of darkness, and
by reason of their numbers, dare to
commit these dreadful crimes, will
"fee from the wrath to come"
We lose patience sometimes. We
have our faith in the perpetuity of
our institution sorely tried when we
read of the dastardly shooting of
Hedges, the hanging of Rankin, the
murder of a mother and the babe at
her breast, the killing Of four negroes
at Russellville because it was report
ed they sympathized with negro
criminal.I And when we recall The
whipping of lAmerican citizens, the
burning. of barns and houses. TIE lie,
struction of corn and wheat and to-
bacco, we cannot understand the
supineness of our people.
But such things cannot last. Some
day, Kentucky will be In blaze of
resentment against these marauders
And when that time comes, nothing,
will prevent their punishment or ex-
termination. !
