WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

favor of a bond issue. but deplored
the idea OF 'devoting the proceeds to
building bonds TO the payment Of
a floating debt. however incurred.
Eventually, however. The sun fore
saw the possibility that II the bond
issue was defeated and the city
failed TO aid the schools. The sun
might be .censured for causing the
schools to close. and accepted the
bond issue proposition as the best
way out Of a bad situation.
Now, ali that is past. A new gem
era. council, Of opposite political anil
iation from that Of the administra-
ton, will levy the next tax. We can
not speak for il, although We believe
II will cooperate with Mayor Smith
in every good effort in behalf of tn,
city. Mayor Smith has never shown
partisan disposition in the conduct
Of Office, aud we believe his spirit will
be reciprocated.
OF course, every cent spent by the
city in relieving the distress Of the
city schools will interfere with the
plans Of Mayor Smith to pay on the
city's floating debt, and reduce taxes
and put the city on a business basis:
but the same people pay for The
schools. and they are for the good
of the city, and We believe that Mayor
Smith Will lend whatever influence he
may have with the general council TO
relieve the public schools. He can do
nothing himself. That matter rests
with the general council and We hope
that the council and the administra-
ton will work together to this end.

THE LOCAL RESULTS.

The local results, while they may
dampen the enthusiasm Of Republi-
cans. are attributable TO causes easily
seen. The chief one is the Demo-
cratic primary, which brought out the
party vote. and the intimidation prac-
ticed to make men vote the Demo-
cratic ticket before taking part IN It.
Many men, who thought Kentucky's
electoral vote would cut no figure,
anyway, in the national election, were
willing TO fOrego an expression Of
their principles on those issues, in or
der to express a choice for county Of
ficials.
Then, too, the Republicans had no
money with which to get out their
vote. and the ballot was so big, there
was little scratching. The primary
simply overshadowed the city election,
and there was no issue. excepting the
personalities Of the candidates, and
these did not obtrUde on the situation
sufficiently produce a noticeable effect
on the result. Straight tickets were
the rule and counciluanic and alder
manic tickets went through with 1T
tie differences In the results, follow
ing the heads CT the ticket.

THE NATIONAL ELECTION.

IL is always easy after an election
TO tell how it happened Concisely il
might be attributed to the good hard
common sense of the American peo-
pie. which Mark Hanna discovered,
and to which men like Taft. and
Hughes. and Folk. and Wilson ap-
peal successfully. Again II might be
stated that Mr.. Bryan has the third
time fallen victim to a paramount
issue"-two OF them this time. Early
in the campaign Mr.. Bryan promul-
gated the catch phrase. shall the peo-
pie rule" to start tidal wave. In
cidentally his platform proposed a
bank guaranty to appeal to the farmer
vote and the emasculation of the
judiciary as a sop to union labor He
intended these merely as side issues
to carry class favor; but before the
campaign had progressed far. they
became the paramount issues, and
the selfish instincts to which Mr..
Bryan himself appealed, actually re-
acted and overwhelmed him before
October was well spent.
This was accomplished as II al
ways has been accomplished in a
Bryan campaign. The Republican Or
ganizatlon remained quiet until Mr.
Bryan had stumped the country and
spoken 10 every issue, and then Taft
and Hughes were sent out after him
and COMPOUNDED him with the u.ti-
mate logic OF his own arguments.
Mr.. Bryan told the prosperou>
farmers that he would assess all the
banks to guaranty the deposits in all
Of them. He told the laboring men
that he favored trial by jury for con-
tempt OF a courts order. when the
contempt was not committed actua,ls
10 the presence Of the court. The
FIRST proposition was quickly shown
TO be a scheme that would initiate 10
the advantage of Specializing banks at
the expense OF sound institutions. The
attack on the courts was more techni-
cal and obscure. and is danger waf

THE scHooL SITUATION.

The defeat of the school bond issue
was foreshadowed in public senti-
ment. 1t will confuse the plans Of
the trustees for the improvement or
the schoos, but the airing the city
schools got can do no harm, ami the
friends, who so brayely came to the
front in this hght, should not permit
the schools to lose any OF the advan-
tage gained.

Special to the Herald.
Norfolk, Va, March 13.-The execu-
| ton of Leo c. Thurman for the muir
der of his roommate, Walter P. Dol.
sen, two years ago, takes place today.
The crime was one of the most brutal
and cold-blooded in the annals of
Norfolk. Both the murderer and his
victim were former members of the
United States marine corps and had
recently been discharged from the
service Thurman murdered his
sleeping roommate in their boarding
house and robbed him of $780, The
murderer chopped his victim to pieces
and packed the body in trunk,
which he tagged to the dead mans ad-
dress at Edenton, N. c. Thurman es-
capped and was tracked from ocean to
ocean, finally being captured in Van
couver, B. c., and brought back to
stand trial His defense was insanity.
The jury, after being out two hours,
rendered a verdict of first degree MIR
der An appeal was taken and the.su-
preme court upheld the verdict of the
lower court. Thurman was native
of Kentucky, and in his defense he
received financial and other assist
ance from his relatives in that state.

Quarantine Site Matter.

Washington, March 11-Mr. Gregg
has received a letter from Governor
Campbell in which he expresses the
opinion that he is not authorized by
law to sign deed for the land desir-
ed by the federal government for a
quarantine station at Galveston. The
marine hospital service has asked for
something more than two hundred
acres, while twenty-five acres is all
that will be needed If the federal
government resorts to condemnation
proceedings it cannot get. if any land
whatever. more land than it actually
needs. The matter will be held in
allegiance until the arrival of Attorney
General Davidson, which will probably
be within the next two or three days.

New York, March 1S.-The usual
lively interest was manifested by chess
players today in the opening of the
international match by cable, America

Newnes trophy. The American end of
the match is conducted by the Brook
1yn Chess Club, while nearly $500
miles distant the British end of the
contest is in charge of the City of
London Chess Club. The match is
conducted on eight boards and the
quarters of the two chess organiza-
lions are connected by cable and tel
tonight, the play will be resumed to-
morrow morning and continued until
$50 p. M, when any uncompleted
games will be adjudicated by the
judges agreed upon for the purpose.
The international cable chess match
es for the Newnes trophy began in
1896 and with the exception OF one
break have been held annually since
that time. The original prize was

session of the Brooklyn club for eight
years, until it was recovered by the
City of London Chess Club when the
contests were revived last year. The
only condition attached to the contest

which is to be run at the Fair Grounds
tomorrow under conditions perhaps
as favorable for a successful race as
ever before in the history of the ia
nous turf classic. While the list of
entries is not quite up to the early
expectations the material is of quail
ity calculated to give promise of a
close and interesting contest. The big
event of tomorrow, to be followed one
week hence by the City Park Derby,
will mark the elimination of the rae
ing season in this vicinity.
