Politics generally presents
some amusing situations, and
Durham usually comes TO the
front with her share Of such: For
instance, it is real amusing to a
looker-on that remembers how
many people acted toward and
talked about the Republican
Legislative candidate, Mr.. Bran
ham, during the prohibition cam.
paign, to see the same people 20.
ing about talking in his favor
now, and it is also true Of Mr..
Smith, who was an ardent prohi.
bitionist during the same cam.
paign. Time makes a great deal
of difference, and II seems that
IL matters little about principle,
but politics and the party are the
thing In MANI cases.

THE OPENING SERMON.
Continued from first page.)

Work is not a thing of option, it
is a thing of the laws of human
nature. If the lowest necessity
depends upon work, the highest
things can only be attained by
Lit.
"What a range of work is
measured out in the laws and
potertialities of human growth!
AS bread winners we move on the
level of all animal life. But man
is infinitely more than a bread
winner. He is capable of evolv-
ing civilizations, and these take
their beginnings in the desires OF
spirit. "Man shall not live by
bread alone" His inner nature
ralls for things far beyond the
bread lines. The hunger of body
is not to be compared with the
hunger of mind and spirit. The
desire for knowledge sets man.
kind on an endless journey OF
activity. Each attainment but
opens another field to be occu-
pied and titled. Every achieve
ment means the birth of a new
desire, every new discovery OF
knowledge means new ambition,
and both the necessity and the
fields of work multiply without
end. The ceaseless increase OF
immortal desires has kept man.
kind at the work Of wider
searches.
But if the work is written in
the laws of our nature, endow-
ments for it have been provided
in our bodily form and physical
adaptation. The human body is
a marvellous machine, construct
cd to do wonderful things; there
IS nothing like it in all physical
creation. What a tool is the hui
man hand! The ability to touch
each finger tip with the thumb
gives man a range Of mastery yet
unmeasured. Its capacity to
handle mechanical tools adds new
resources of power. Man alone
can handle the chisel, and he
alone can turn the rough rock
into a piece of immortal art. His
power to handle the brush covers
the canvass with the splendid
story Of history or the figure OF
the ideal. His power to grasp
the spade turns rivers from their
courses, and makes the seas flow
into each other. By every law
and very physical endowment
man shows that he was made &c
be a master worker.

years ago. A slight amendment every

the desperate effort of the Beckham re

should be slow to tack on an
amendment to existing book laws

THE INVOLVEMENT OF
POWER.

Had William Jennings Bryan been
asked. after careful analysis of the
local situation, to coin a phrase that
would exactly express the complaint
that Is brought against former Gov
Beckham, Democratic nominee for the
United states Senate, by the people
OF this State, he could not have de-
vised one more fitting than that whic
he used with so much emphasis in de-
nouncing the crime of misrepresenting
the electorate, THE embezzlement OF
power"
]. c. w. Beckham stands convicted
by a jury of the voters of Kentucky
on the charge of embezzling power. IL
is because of this fact that six men
in his own party refuse 10 vote for
him. Chosen to be Governor for the
people, he became Governor of the
people; elected 10 serve. he sought to
rule. During his eight years in office
his efforts were directed consistently
to the building up of a bureaucracy
over which he should have absolute
sway, and the power derived from
which should be used for his own per-
sonal advantage.
The primary of 1906 was an instru-
ment devised to serve his ambition,
forced upon the party out of all due
season, and conducted uncsrupulously
for the defeat of his honorable oppo-
nent. He is reported as having de-
clared to a member of his party that
he was in favor of the primary be-
cause he believed he could get thu
nomination in that way and he might
be beaten in a convention. He knew
that safter the Infamous Music Hall
convention it would be impossible to
perpetrate another such upon the peo-
pie. and a fair convention he dared no
face. To steal in a primary is less
glaring, less easily discovered and less
attended by scandal. So primary II
was, and thus the power of the people
was embezzled and the fruit of the
theft is the nomination, a forged chez
upon which he is now trying to col
/ lect.
Mr.. Bryan has again displayed hi;
utter ignorance of the conditions thai
have led up to recent political events
in Kentucky. He has rushed in will
the daring of those who, according t(
proverb, enter realms where angel
fear to tread. Thinking to blast TIT
men who are standing by their con
viction of duty to the party the.
were elected to serve, he has sum
med up in one brilliant phrase thei
indictment against the man he mean
to help.
Mr.. Bryan hopes for the day whel
the man who embezzles power will b
treated as the man who embezzle
money. So he declared in a burst O
dramatic oratory. If these are trul
his sentiments he cannot consistent
blame the men who are seeking I

The daily press is teeming with
recitals of the loss that various cities
would lose by the enactment of law
to drive from the State the tobacco
trusts. This is only an echo from
the trusts themselves. Everyone with
enough intelligence to be out alone
knows that other tobacco buyers would
take the places vacated by the trusts.
In fact the trusts would become hon
est buyers and dealers and would re-
main. Granting that someone would
suffer loss, had not the city folks as
well lose a little in trade as for the
farmer to lose it all In the price OF
his tobacco? But there would be no
loss TO anyone. The producer would
get fair price without having to
throttle the trust to do it.

Suit Ends After 1872 Years

The estates represented were those

died in 1856 and whose estate was
in process of administration for sc
years.
While the estate was still in the

ANARCHISTS
AFTER us. FLEET
Brazilian Police Discover Con
Spiracy to Destroy Fleet
DiabolicaI Design Prevented
By Prompt Action Of
Authorities.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 19.-The Brazilian
police have discovered an anarchistic
plot here having as its object the
destruction of part of the American
fleet now lying in the harbor.
The conspiracy, while centering in
Rio Janiero and Petropolis, has ramif!'
cations in Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes
An individual named Jean Fedher,
who resided in Petropolis was the
chief conspirator here although it is
understood that foreign anarchists are
deeply involved the plot. FFheder is
believed TO have fled to Sac Paulo,
and the police, who know him, have
been sent to that place for the purpos
of apprehending him.
One u the detectives, who was well
acquainted with Fedher, having
served on the police force at Petropo-
lis for some time. returned from that
place to-day after having made inves-
LEGATIONS there, and had long confer
encee with the Chief of Police at Rio
Janeiro. The latter gave it out later
that the Sac Paulo police are on the
track of the arch-conspirator and ex-
pect to arrest him soon.
In an official note which the Chief
of police sent TO the correspondent of
the Associated Press he says:
Some teime before the arrival of
the American fleet at Rio Janeiro, the
Brazilian Government received from
Washington and Paris information
that anarchists of different nationali-
ties intended TO damage one or several
of the ships of the American fleet.
The names and addresses of the con-
spirators were Indicated by informal
ton which the police had received
from France and Germany. The po-
| lice of this district are working with
the police of Sac Paulo and Minas
Geraes, and | am sure every precau-
ton will be exercised, and The most
vigorous vigilance observed both on
u
land and at sea to prevent any in
jury being done
The Chief OF Police, after having
made this official announcement said
that he did not feel he should go in
to any further details with regard 10
the conspiracy, but he authorized the
statement that the plot was organized
by Fedher, and he added that the
people of the United States could rest
easy, as all of the conspirators had
taken refuge in the interior.
AS yet the people of Brazil are ig-
norant of the details of the plot to dc
injury to the visitors, although there
has been some slight inkling of the
matter. The impression which the
exposure of this plot will create here
will be a profound one, because it IL
the first archistic conspiracy that ha
ever been known in Brazil.
The police of Sac Paulo have SEN
word that they are on the track o.
the malefactors,w who, they declare,wil
not be able to come to Rio Janeiro.
