JUST A MINUTE,
LEST We FORGET"
Who is This VOciferous
Individual?
IMPORTANT FACTS RECALLED
Which Have FOrcible Bearing
Upon the Present POlit-
ical Campaign.

Who is this man who is swinging
tie big stick in Washington, raising
a ;'ullabaloo over the Standard OIL
Company. raging against Haskell and
otherwise o5erflowing with wrath, and
invective? The New York World has
this character study of the vociferat-
ing purist:
The Theodore Roosevelt who bursts
forth in virtuous denunciation of Sena-
tor Foraker and the Standard Oil
Company is the same Theodore ROOse-
welt who summoned Edward H. Har-
riman ~ the White House shortly be-
fore the 1904 election and encour-
aged Hartman to raise a 100000
campaign fund which could be used
only to corrupt voters.
He Is the same Theodore Roose-
welt who made George b. Cortelyou
Chairman Of the Republican National
Committee in 1904, thus setting his
chief corporation inquisitor TO the
task of collecting campaign tribute
from the corporations subject to Fed
eral investigation.
He is the same Theodore RoOse-
welt whose 1904 campaign was financ-
ed in part by life insurance contribu-
tions filched from the policyholders.
He is the same Theodore Roosevelt
vino made Eulihu Root, Thomas F. Ry-
ans attorney, Secretary of State in
his Cabinet.
He is the same Theodore Roosevelt
who made J. Pierpont Morgans part
ner, Robert Bacon, Assistant Secre-
tary of State.
He is the same Theodore Roosevelt
who personally licensed the SteelTrust
to acquire theTennessee Coal and Iron
Company regardless Of the Sherman
Law.
He is the same Theodore Roosevelt
who commanded tle reactionGry cor
poration platform adopted by the Chi
cage Convention and gladly accepted
James S. Sherman as the Republican
candidate for Vice President.
"Mr. Roosevelt is greatly scandaliz-
ed by Senator Forakers unseemly re-
lations with the Standard Oil Compa-
ny; but what if Foraker had been a
supporter of My Policies instead Of an
opponent Of My Policies? Would the
President have promptly repudiated
him, or would the same mantle Of Ex-
ecutive charity have been thrown over
Joseph Benson Foraker that was once
thrown over Paul Morton, after that
gentleman had been accused of grant
ing rebates?"
When you recall these facts his
outbursts lose much of their force
and become merely the transparent po-
litical lodges Of a reckless partisan.

KENTUCKY GIRL,
Who, Along With Her Mother, is
Well Known Here, Married
I'm Connecticut.

The Louisville Courier-Journal of
Last Saturday contained the follow
ing special:
Stamford, Conn, Sept. 25.-When
Miss Jennie L. Spalding, of Hartford,
KY, who is playing in the "Follies
Of 1908" company, finished her part
ON the program of the New York The
alter Friday night, she hurried to her
dressing-rOom, got quickly into a tray
cling gown and accompanied by two
young women friends, ran out of the
theater to a motor car that was chug-
ging in seeming Impotence at the
curb in front of the showhouse. Miss
Spalding and her friends were some
what in a flutter, and at least
one of the occupants of the car that
awaited them "fluttered' in sympa-
thy.
He was Lewis Putnam Strang, hero
of many a motor car race, regarded as
one of tie most daring and skilled
motorists of the world. He and Miss
Spalding were to be married and the
motor car was in waiting to whisk
them to Stamford for the cei emony.
Strang was here Friday afternoon in
company with his friend, John II.
Tyson the young millionaire for
whom he won the Briar Cliff trophy,
the Savannah and the Lowell road
races, and for whom he hopes to win
TIE Vanderbilt Cup race.
They obtained a marriage license,
made an appointment with JudgeMar-
tin j. Gray to be at the Hotel Carlton
at l o'clock this morning to tie the
knot and ordered big wedding break
fast to celebrate the nuptials. Aside
from the bride and bridegroom the
party included Griswold Daniel and
Fred Utoff, two we'll known and
wealthy young New Workers, and the
two women friends of Miss Spalding.
The knot WIS tied in the parlors of
the hotel about 100 by Judge Gray,
Mr.. Tyson acting as Strang's best
man.
Editorial NOte--The young lady
mentioned is the Oldest daughter of
Mrs. Mamie Alexander Miller, for
merry Mrs. Spalding of Louisville, the
only daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Way
land Alexander, of Hartford. and who
is now a resident Of Chicago. Mrs.
Strang was first married to Mr.. Ed
II. Lowe, q wealthy shirt manuflctur-
er of New York City, but was divorc-
ed a short time ago and restored to
her maiden name of Spalding.

Of Brothers and Sisters-RO-

Daviess Couple.
rhe Owensboro Messenger says:

line OWenSDOnO MeSSellBeT says
Rivaling in romance the stories
told in novels, is the little history of
the oouitship and marriage OF Ed
and Charles HarreI. brothers, of
Rockport Ky, and Altha and Vela
Igle!eart, sisters, nj Panther. The
two couples were welded ON Wednes-
day afternoon by the Rev, B. F.
jenkins, at his home on Lewis street.
About a year ago the two sisters
visited friends at Seneca, Ohio
county, Near ROckport, and the two
brothers met them. A friendship
sprang up between the four and the
flames soon kindled into love. Then
came a year of cross-country drives
from Rockport to Panther. Every
Wednesday and Sunday night the
two brothers drove TO the home of
the two sisters.
Together they wOoed and won.
Then the idea Of a double mar
rage was carried cut, and all came
to Owensboro together on Wednes-
d2y morning, leaving in the after
noon, brothers and sisters as well as
bnothers-in-law and sistersin-law.
The two brothers are in the lum-
Der business together, and have built
homes alike, furnished alike, and
side by side.
Every detail of the domestic lives
that are to follow the double court
ship and marriage has been planned
to bear out the same condition.

APPEAL
TO THE PEOPLE
To Assist in Popular Gov
ernment.
MOTTO: LET THE PEOPLE RULE
Contributions May be Left
With Capt. Cox, at Ohio
County Bank.

Editors Herald, Hartford, KY, Dear
Sirs:--There are no secrets in this
Campaign. Strictly practicing what
he breaches, Mr.. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying the
election expenses.
Not a dollar is to be accepted which
requires any promise, either express o
implied, other than for honest, i'm
partial government.
Mr.. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entangllng
alliances, free to serve all classes
Of honest citizens alike, or he will not
enter It at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern must be
conducted by the people.
The people must pay the necessary
campaign expenses if they want pub
lie servants who will serve their in
terests.
Special interests and favored classes
having secured Swollen fortunes" by
purchasing favors in the past with
millions contributed to control cleo
tions, stand ready to give millions
more for continued favors, But that
class never gives a dollar unless it
buys a pledge.
Mr.. Bryan says, from March 4th,
1908, Let the people rule"
This can come only if the people
pay their own bills, and control their
own elections.
You can serve the "r- OF
popular government through the col
umns of your paper. 1t reaches the
fireside of the patriot who loves mis-
country for his country's good; as
distinguished from the greedy posses
scr Of swollen fortunes who loves his
country only for his country's goods.

MIGHT AS WELL

Says Hartford Republican
Of Taft's Candidacy.
IS AGAINST ORGANIZED LABOR
IF Nominated, Mr.. Taft Will
Lose Kentucky by 40
900 Majority"


issue of March 6, 1908, said:
Evidences are multiplying every day
which show beyond a doubt, it seems
10 us, that Mr.. Taft cannot be elected
President on the Republican ticket.
those who are determined to
force this out, but we feel that we
owe it to our party in Ohio county and
the Fourth Congressional district. If
those who are determined to point the
candidacy Of the Secretary of War up
on the party, succeed, and defeat comes
we are not going to suffer the small
est part of the responsibility placed
at our door. If he is nominated, Mr..
Taft will lose Kentucky by 10000
majority. His attitude toward the
negro soldiers. and toward organic
ed labor, will not only embarrass us
in the present race, but will render
doubtful many Kentucky Republican
counties in the election Of county of
ficers next year.
In order that our readers may know
the position which organized labor
is taking toward the Taft candidacy
We reproduce labor resolutions adopt
ed by the Washington Central Labor
Union, unanimously, and which ex-
plain the method to be followed in
amusing labor sentiment against the
Secretary of War:
Whereas, An election is to take
place for delegates to both the Re
publican and Democratic conventions.
Whereas, Labor is opposed to Will
liam H. Taft, Secretary of War for
the Presidency; be it
Resolved That the President of the
Central Labor Union appoint commit
tee Of three to secure the written
promise Of candidates as delegates to
the Republican and Democratic con-
venitons that they will mot vote for
any candidate for the Presidency who
is opposed to organized labor.
In another portion of its editorial
columns, in the same issue (March
6, 1908, 1.-THE Hartford Republican says:
Senator Bradley correctly states tn
conditions when he says there would
be no chance for the Republicans to
carry Kentucky with Mr.. Taft as their
nominee"
IF Taft is the Republican nominee
for President, the Republicans will bhve
the fight of their lives TO carry Ohio
county for him. 1t is just as well to
be plain about this matter. Whether
the loss of Ohio county would have any
effect on the contest or not, we all
know what effect it would have ON the
county election next year"
