SOME THOUGHTS
BY Governor Wilson on Trip to
South western Kentucky.

Nv reception in Hopkinsville,
Princeton and Paducah assures me
that the people are aroused for the
cause of law and ORDER" declared
GovslHer-Willson. Il do not be-
lieve it is personal popularity Of
the Governor" said he, that at
tracted the crowds and elected the
enthusiasm. 1t was the cause.
When | campaigned for Governor,
/ had good meetings in Western
Kentucky but nothing like these.
Nothing like these"
He sroEe of the Kentucky homes
that are distressed by the lawless-
ness, of the restraint of freedom,
ot destruction of property and vio
lations of the sanctity of the per-
sons~of Kentucky citizens. He
said, although he believed the
planters had grievance in the be-
ginning, the organization of law
less bands has deteroated the orig
inal purpose into the grossest op
preston. He said he sent soldiers
into the Black Patch TO protect in
nocent lives and to protect prop
erty. That he knew who the
heads of the organization are and
that they know he does, and that
when the proper time comes they
will be exposed and sent to the
ppnitentiary. He said that proper
time can come only when local Of
ficials are ready to do their duty;
for he cannot prosecute, he can
only protect by the armed force of
the State. If the Tobacco Trust is
doing wrong. it is the duty of
CONFERENCE.-The and county attor-
neys to prosecute it, just as it is
their duty to prosecute the night
riders.

Mr.. BRYAN
Wants to Know Who His Real
Opponent Is.
fAVORS GUARANTY OF DEPOSITS

At Scuyler, Neb., Mr.. Bryan
closed with a strong condemnation
of what he termed the unfair atti-
tude of President Roosevelt in
taking part in the campaign.
"I-had supposed" he said, that
was running against but one
Republican, but it seems that | am
pitted against two. / resent his
interference, and only ask him to
keep his hands off and let Mr..
Taft and me fight it out"
At Columbus he talked to the
farmers on the guaranty of bank
deposits, comparing the objections
made against it with the objections
first proposed to fire insurance.
He said:
The same objection now made
to the guaranty of bank deposits
was made against fire insurance
when it was first suggested. Then
its opponents argued learnedly
that to insure all houses was to
make some men careless about
fire, and-that it would lead others
to burn their houses to get the in
surance.
IF that argument had prevailed
we would have no insurance today,
but the people wisely decided that
we should have protection against
fires so that it was better to punish
criminally the few who burn their
homes than to leave unprotected
the many whose houses were likely
to burn by accident.
The case in favor of guaran-
teed banks is even stronger than
the case of fire insurance, because
the 100 per cent. penalty against
the stakeholder added to the entire
loss of his investment is sufficient
to prevent carelessness and the
amount of money called out of
hiding will more than repay the
tax which is imposed upon the
bank.
From every standpoint protec-
ton of the depositor is wise and
from every standpoint it is bene-
fetal, because it helps the depos-
itor, it helps the community and
it helps the banks"

Believes BRYAN viii Win.

Theodore Bell. of California,
who so ably presided over the
Democratic Convention as tempo
rary chairman, has been stumpine
the Western States, and is now
making "A tour in the East. The
West and Middle West is over
whelminglv for Bryan, and Mr..
Bell is gratified over the informa-
ton he has gained about the East
ern States. Il believe Bryan will
win," said Mr., Bell.
All classes are tired of the Re
publican administration. They
don't like Roosevelt's meddlirg O.
The greatest injury Taft has re-
ceived has been through Roose-
velt's meddling. The people are
tired of the tariff. They want
sweeping changes, and they have
full confidence in Bryan"

Corn Yield Is Injured By In
breeding.

At the Kentucky State Fair in
1908 a premium was offered for
the best single ear of corn, and
many entries were exhibited. The
judges, one by one, eliminated all
but two ears. There was appar-
emily no choice between those two
in depth of grain color, fullness of
cob at butt and tip, straightness of
rows, length of ear in proportion
to diameter at butt. or in symme-
try; but on comparison of germi-
nation one was found to have a
larger proportion of infertile
grains than the other. and on this
point the award was made.
Mr.. T. Nj. Bamberge. Superin-
tendent of the Queen & Crescent
Railway, says that bad stands
of corn are generally the result of
infertiIe seed, and this is the result
of inbreeding. Corn growers will
find it profitable to detassel every
other row of corn in the field Just
as the corn shoots into tassel. At
the same time all barren stalks
should be pulled up. At any rate
II sufficient number of rows to
supply seed for the coming year
should be detasseled rows, and
this should be continued from wear
to year. Mr.. Bamberge has more
than doubled his corn yield 10y
this process and the testing of his
corn before planting. Had the
man who failed to secure the pre-
MUM at the State Fair have fol
lowed the course above indicated
he would doubtless have carried
off the blue ribbon. Lexington

AGAINST BETTING.
State Racing Board Holds That
Pdri-Mutuel Machines Provide
Ample Accommodations For
the Betting Public.

The State Racing Commission
refused to grant the request of the
horsemen to eliminate the pari-
mutuel form of betting and be al
lowed to return to the old style of
betting known as the bookmakers.
Mr.. Rhinock, president of La
tonia Jockey Club, said he did
not want to fight the commission
through the courts. and if this
policy was decided upon by the
management he would likely re-
sign as president.
1t is generally believed that the
management of the Latonia track
will go ahead with books at the
meetings regardless of the decisit a
last week and apply for an iniuno-
ton restraining that body from IT.

many turfmen, would be mistake

Where Liquor Tax Goes.

To the Editor Of the Enquirer:
In your report of the wet and
dry" election in this state an error
has crcpt in regarding the amount
of revenue lost. TO date. accord
ing to your figures, 80 saloons
have been voted out of business.
Each liquor dealer pays 81 900 per
annum. This thousand dollars is
divided as follows: Five hundred
dollars to the cities, towns. villages
and townships in which the liquor
is sold: 5000 to the county and
$500 to the state. This means n
loss of 100000 to the cities.
$1,000 to the counties and S234,-
900 to the state per annum. To
tai, S7SO,OOO.
The elections recently held fixes
the dry" rule on the several couu-
Ties FOR three years, SO that the
total loss is: To the cities. towns,
villages and townships in which
the liquor is sold, Sl,l7O.OOC
the counties S4GS, 900 and to
state 100000; total, 2,34O.OO
In addition there is the los

Organized Labor and Temperance

The brewers and their agents
went into the meeting of the Fed
Grafton of Labor in Indiana and
largely directed proceedings.
They met resistance. On the
plain proposition to stand for pro-
hibition, One-third of the members
voted yea. Some of them spoke
with great earnestness on the sub
ject.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Lolio, of Terre
Haute, said: IF we adopt it we
90 on record against any attempt
to regulate the low, measly places
in the saloon business. Why
bring upon us the hostility of many
of the best people. in the State by
adopting such "A foolish resolution 2"
'~The temperance people are not
opposed to organized labor any
more than other people, but it is
the belief of the temperance peo-
pie that nothing can do so much
to raise the standard of living, to
increase the efficiency of living and
to increase wages as temperance,
voluntary or enforced.
All over the world labor leaders
are beginning to realize that the
greatest obstacle to the improve
ment of labor conditions is the an
nual expense incurred in support
of the saloons by the laboring man.
W. ID. Van Horn, President Of
the Indiana Mine Workers, said:
Il warn you that the adoption of
this resolution cannot do any good"
George w. Lackey, a mine
workers delegate and a Socialist
nominee for Congress. made an
against the resolution
and showed that dry towns mean
increased bank accounts.
Moreover, laboring men are be-
ginning to understand that only a
small part of the money that they
pay for beer and whisky ever
reaches the laborer. OF the beer
alone it is said that the laborer
gets but 4 per cent. of the product,
whereas in the average manufac-
turing establishments from % per
cent. to 33 per cent. goes for
wages. Louisville Post.

took place at the other end at tn.
same minute as the senate was sum
moned from its private conversation
to public business by the voice of Vice
President Fairbanks.
Following the divine Invocation IN
the two houses there were the usuni
scenes of the swearing In Of new mem
bers, escorted up to the seats of thu
presiding officers by their colleagues.
AS the present session is the -econd
session OF the Sixtieth congress, 10
organization was necessary, Speaker
Cannon retaining his authority by vir
tue of his former election and Mr. Fair
banks as ex officio presiding officer OF
the senate. The only changes that
will be made are those in the commit
tees, made necessary by deaths and
designations.
Today's session was very short.
After the absolutely necessary bust
ness was transacted the two houses
adjourned for the day in order to pay
proper tribute to the memory of the
late Senator Allison of Iowa. His
successor, Albert B. Cummlns, was
sworn In today.
Prominent among the men who were
the recipients Of condolences on having
been elected to return to private life
were Representatives Hepburn of Iowa
and Landis and overstreet of Indiana,
erstwhile leaders on the Republican
side of the house. Judging from their
outward appearance, however, these
three, with the other unsuccessful can
didates for reelection, bore their dis
appointment with cheerfulness. Their
demeanor seemed to indicate that fail
ure to obtain reelection to the house
could be regarded in some lights as
being far from calamity.
Tomorrow the house and senate will
listen to the reading OF the presidents
