POWER OF THE PRESS.

THE Hopkinsville New Era
has a good word 10 say of Capt.
Albrecht and his troopers who
have been riding after the night
riders. The general opinion,
however, among the rural roos-
tiers is that they are aggravating
nuisances." - Kentucky State
Journal.
They are not "aggravating NUS
ances" to anyone but a night rider.
BY the way, we observe that since
the Kentucky State Journal has taken
a stand with the Murray Ledger
against law and order. outrages in the
vicinity of the state capital have null
tiplled and one night rider has been
shot while on a raid. That shows
that the State Journal is not without
influence in its own community. and,
this, Editor Walton should
rather than encourage law
lessness. ..

for the hefty end of the costs.

A CANDIDATE WITH A RECORD.

A CANDIDATE WITH A RECORD.
The Louisville Times, always hum
crous, but seldom sound, said editor
tally ere Bryan's telegram to Taft was
answered:
"Mr. Bryan, We know. is rightly to
be credited with a sincere desire for
publicity in campaign funds. Mr..
Bryan. doubtless, recognized that
there was nothing to be gained from
an appeal to Mr.. Roosevelt. By the
reductio ad absurdum method of rea-
soning, there was nothing left him but
an appeal to Taft 1t is not compre-
hensible that Mr.. Bryan has any hope
that success will follow the appeal. He
has discharged his responsibility in
making it. The fault is not his that
there is only a dummy figure to which
TO make it,"
1t must have shocked Mr. Bryan
nightly to learn that Judge Taft
had already urged his friends in con-
gress to support the bill, giving pub
licity to campaign contributions, and
had not said anything about it. 1t
never occurred to Judge Taft that he
should make campaign capital Of his
position in the matter; it never
occurred to Mr.. Bryan that he
shouldn't
Mr.. Bryan is honest, and we be-
lieve, often sincere; nut his opinions
have been his stock in trade since he
left college, and his virtue is highly
commerciaiized.
Mr.. Taft is running for president
on his achievements and his positive
connection with certain policies of
state, which it vii! be his purpose to
carry out to their completion, and he
assumes patriotic motives and
chooses the right as a matter of
course. as a good citizen should. Mr.
Bryan is running for president-that
Is all. We know he leans TO virtues
side; because he tells us so. What
ever plank he puts in his platform,
he turns the moral side upward. He
broke into public life, representing a
radical issue" He found corrup-
ton in public places-on the other
side-and he decried them; though
he could afford to come into Ken
lucky and urge Kentuckians to swal-
low nasty mess of st. He got beat,
but he secured a following. He is

bad, and to embarrass his prospective
opponent for president by making
him appear to be dilatory in urging
reform. but, acknowledging the right
eousness of the Democratic standard
bearers position.
Alas, Alas, Taft had already
urged that reform on his friends, but
had marked the letters private, and
neglected to give copies to the papers.
Maybe, Bryan's premature express
eion may impel congress to act, and
then he will have to indorse the con-
gress for doing what he urged.
We doubt II Bryan heeds this les
son. Men like Taft are a poor kind
with which to play politics. If Roose-
welt is pugnaciously' honest. Taft is
rigidly so. Boss Cox. of Cincinnati,
found him so, when Taft downed
him and the whole outfit in Ohio.
Foraker found Taft so, when Foraker
lost every county in the state in a
contest With Taft.
