REPUBLICANS CLEARED

The fight the County Unit Bill at Frankfort is
not yet but the blame for its defeat has been shift
ed from the Republicans to the Democrats and the grand
old party stands clear of the charges which have looked
black against for several weeks. On the test vote
three Republicans deserted their party, it is but
with their votes the result would have been diff
ferent and the Democrats voted almost unit for the
rule which strangled the bill. Efforts may still be made
to revive the BILL and the temper of the Republican
leader N the Senate A. r. Burnam, indicates that the
fight will go to the last but by the vote of last Thurs
day the Democratic party has sqHa,et taken position
against temperance and in Jaoor Of aOhtskC.
The Democrats killed more than the County Unit
Bill by their rule The fair Re-distrcting Bill, and the
Dog Tax Bill, well as other important measures which
the Democrats afraid would help the Republicans,
caught in the same trap The Republicans fought
hard and did their full duty led by Senator Burnam,
who declared that vote for the rule vote against
temperance, but it useless
This action clears the Republicans The Citizen
has expected. Whether the long fight for Bradley
wise not is open to question: but the serious chrages
Of foul play and treachery proven untrue Gov
Wilson will probably call an extra session, and thus
douby reute Them and the party will go into the next
campaign stronger than while the Democrats will
have one Beckham burden to carry.

HINTS TO SUCCESS

Success is at the top Of the hill,
The man who reaches II, climbs.
A genius for work il the secret of
success.
A druggist must be above all other
things, "a good mixer"
So must be a merchant to be a sue
cess.
Circumstances are the nails on which
the weak hang their failure;
On which the strong clinch their
success
I've always noted great success,
Is united with trouble, more or less.
To do successful work in every case,
A man must keep the best side"
face to face
Be sure you are right and then go
ahead,
But in case of doubt. go ahead any
how.

OHIO FOR TAT 7
Big Man Wins Easily in Home State
Probable Platforms of Big Parties
Forecast In Ohio and Nebraska.

UH.O FOR TAFT:-The Ohio State
Convention which met last week
adopted resolutions instructing all
delegates to vote for TAFT till he is
nominated, and prepared a strong
platform. The Convention showed
how completely Foraker was beaten.
And every man who has been for him
was dropped from the state commit
tee Up to March s. out of 1913 dele
gates elected to the National Con-
vention, 116 have Taft instructions,
6 are not instructed. &c are instruct
ed for Fairbanks (his own state) and
IS places are contested. A pretty
good lead.
PLATFORMS FORECAST: The Re-
publican and Democratic platforms of
next fall are pretty accurately fore
cast in those adopted by the Ohio Con-
venslon which nominated Taft, and
the Nebraska Convention which nomi-
mated Bryan. It Is noticeable that
the TWO platforms agree in endorsing
all that the President has stood for
against the corporations and male
factors of great wealth, showing that
both parties believe IN him and the
things he has advocated. But there
are two significant differences which
shows about what the lines the cam
paign will probably be. Bryan's plat
form declares for a tariff for revenue
only" while Taft is for a special
session to revise the tariff, TO MAINTAIN
protectionist principals but to meet
present conditions. There are few
leaders in any party now that are for
free trade, which is practically what
Bryan advocates; with that in the
platform 1t would be impossible for
the democrats to carry any of the
big manufacturing states, and there
won'd be a distinct loss of enthu3-
iasm In the South, tho of course the
vote would be as usual. The second
poiot Of difference is that Bryan is
fol- immediate independence OF tine
Philippines. while Taft favors hold
ing the islands as a scared trust, and
teaching the natives self government.
This would be another weakness Of
the Democrats. Another trouble is
that there are signs that Bryan has
not yet learned the difference between
good money and bad, and proposes
remedies for financial evils which ex-
perts agree are foolish. Altogether.
Democratic politicians are feeling
worse than usual these days.
DAY IN TRoUBLE:-There IS
trouble ahead for Chancellor Day. who
has been making such vicious attacks
on the President A fellow clergyma,
Of his church has brought charges of
violating the rule of the Methodist
Church against criticism of magts-
trates and Mr.. Day will soon be tried.

IN OUR own STATE
Abner on TriaI-Talk of Big Coal
Combine - Campbelrs Daughter
Dead.

ABNER JURY DISAGREES:-Th
jury which has been trying Abner for
the murder of Cockrill has disagreed
and been discharged.
BIG COAL COMBINE:-There is
talk of \ big coal company which
would control almost all the soft coal
mines in the country. Nothing de-
finite has been decided yet but COM
t'nations have been so successful in
other lines that many men believe it
is only a matter of time till there is
one in the coal mining business.
THE DAUGHTER OF ALEXAN-
DER CAMPBELL DEAD:-Mrs- Vir-
ginia Thomson, daughter Of Alexander
Campbell, founder of the Disciple or
Campbellite Church, died last Friday
in Washington. She was for 10 years
postmistress in Louisville, and at the
time of her death was working in the
Congressional library.
LIBEL ON THE MOUNTAINS: One
of the mysteries on modern times is
why no one from the outside can
ever tell the truth about the noun
tains. Another example of this
comes in a page article on "The
Feud" which has been published in
the New York Heard, and which is
the result of two whole days which
some pert newspaper woman spent in
Jackson. She says that every one
treated her kindly, and yet she goes
home and draws picture OF mountain
life which is about as near the truth
as funny paper picture of Roosevelt
is like him. One good thing about 1t
is that New York Is pretty well
onto" The Herald, and takes every
thing 1t says with lot of salt. The
story is another example of what
some poor girls will do for money.
Perhaps we ought to pity her rath-
er than censure her.
HARGIS CASE PASSED. The
trial of Beech Hargis for killing HIS
father has been set for the June term
of court.
HEMP PRICES UP:--The prices of
hemp is higher than it has been for
years, being now $40 ton, when it
was $50 two years ago. This will help
in keeping Kentucky from raising
tobacco crop this year.
MRS. SPARKS ARREsTED:-Mrs.
Rachel Sparks. widow of Jas. Sparks,
who was killed by Robert Boyd, in
London, has been arrested charged
with giving a negro a match and coal
oil to burn the barn of Tip Sparks,
her husbands cousin. whom she ac-
cuses of siding with Boyd at the trial

MOUNTAIN CONGRESS-

Because of the meeting in Feb
raary and later the sickness in town
1t seemed wise to defer the Mountain
Congress, which was set for Feb. ~
to later date. That date has been
decided upon as March "a, the last
day of ~the winter term. That day
will be given over to exercise and
recreations of various kinds, one ses-
sion of the Congress coming at $50
and second al 730 In the evening.
The Congress has been organized,
political parties are divided off and
bills of general interest are being
worked upon. The Republicans are
the strongest party. but the surprising
increase In the number Of Prohibition
representatives makes IL look as IL
they would hold the balance OF power
The Democrats are bent on secur-
ing a number of quite popular re-
forms and will II combined with the
Prohibition men give the dominant
party a hard fight to hold their
power.
School legislation and approprla-
lions and bills relating to improve
ment Of roads will probably be sup
ported by almost all members re-
gardless of party. but certain other
measures. probably among them a
County Unit Bill win cause hard
fight.
Everyone, both In school and In
town should be looking forward 20,
this meeting as one of the best
things Of the year, for 1t will not be
a gathering for fun, but an occasion
when our best young men In their
strongest manner will present the
actual needs Of our mountain country
and people.

OPINIONS OF OTHERS
It viii be Up to Governor Wilson


The expected has happened.
The County Unit bill has been
slaughtered in the house of its
friends. With the Republican party
pledged TO its adoption by its plat
form and candidates and the Demo-
cratic party committed to It by the
speeches of Governor Beckham. Judge
Hager and many of its members Of
the General Assembly. the State
Senate has by a parliamentary trick
sent the one temperance measure Of
the present session to the legislative
graveyard.

permitted to come TO a vote and had

Prof Dinsmore, though more prop
erly an entertainment, was a great
success and contained a pleasing sur

NO GAMBLING ALLOWED.

Open gambling will not be permitted in Agua Prieta, according to letter from Comissario Vasquez, received yesterday in Douglas.
 MT. Vasquez says he has searched diligently through the Mexican laws applying on the subject and can find nothing which can be construed to per init gambling of any kind He states that open gambling will not be per nitted and that no concessions to that end will be granted. He says that a casino may be opened, but that he thereby puts himself on record that he will see that the laws governing the operation of such an institution will be enforced to the letter. He says that it is his desire that the closest and most amicable relations should ez ist between the two cities and that nf gambling will be permitted on bis sids of the line. It would seem from thu letter of the chief executive of Agus Prieta that as far as any pending ne gotiatlons for gambling concessions fl that city. the incident Is closed Douglas Dispatch.
