AIMED AT ROOSEVELT

l. 1t is apparent to every observer
that the Republican convention in the
First congressional district was de-
liberately planned by the anti-admin-
istration element in the state to fore
stall the growing sentiment in favor
of William II. Taft. Only two dis
trict chairmen in Kentucky are OPP
lposed to the Roosevelt administration,
and, as between the First and Elev-
enth district, the Eleventh was looked
upon as absolutely hopeless. SO Will
liam j. Deboe, district chairman of
the First, was instructed to call a
snap convention at the earliest posi-
BILE moment, in the hope that he might
possibly, through his control of the
iinitiatory proceedings of the temper
airy organization, stem the tide of
popular sentiment, and influence the
remainder of the state by making an
anti Roosevelt demonstration in the
first district convention held. This
explains why the First district con-
vention is the only one called. and the
others probably will not be held be-
fore the latter part of April.
The possible effect. on the presiden-
tial race is not confined to Kentucky.
Fairbanks, Knox nor Cannon, has a
single delegate, so far, outside his own
state. If the First district of Ken
lucky names two delegates TO the ma
tional Republican convention opposed
to the policies of President Roosevelt,
which this reactionary movement
means, il will be the first convention
outside those states, which have favor
tie sons, to go back on the national
Republican administration-an I'M
enviable notoriety.
That their attitude toward the ma
tional administration in supporting
someone, who is opposed to its poll
cies, is untenable when exposed, is
realized by w. ]. Deboe. So outside
the county Immediately under his
domination, the word has been passed
around to talk for Taft, but work for
delegations. The plan is
to do just as was done four years ago,
when Deboe won out by three votes,
although overwhelmingly defeated in
the majority of counties-play the
trick in the temporary organization.
The only way to circumvent this is for
the voters at the county mass conven-
tons to give explicit Instructions, re-
garding the temporary organization
of the convention. The place to I'M
seat those who are opposed to the ma
ton Republican administration is at
the beginning of the meeting.

WATTERSON'S LOGIC.

Col. Henry Watterson is growing
pessimistic in his old age. He be
lieves that whatever the Interests
desire in the national election the!
will get. and he bases his belief tina
Bryan will win over Taft, on the as
sumption that Hartman, ct al, holt
the balance of power.
In communication from Naples
On-The-Gulf, he says:
Never were the elements so
mixed and muddled as they are
now; Roosevelt and Bryan hav-
ing taken the center of the stage,
1t is pull-Dick, pull-Devil be-
tween them, with the chances,
as II seems to us, a trifie in favor
OF Bryan. In the event that TAFT
is the Republican nominee, Bry-
an will get the benefit of two di-
rectly opposing forces; the Radi-
Gals, who will consider him an
original, and the Magnates, who
will play him as an obstructive.
~
son this way: "If Taft comes in
as Roosevelt's double, with a Re
publican congress newly COM
missioned to the carrying out of
the Roosevelt policies, We are
lost; but, If Bryan comes in with
a Republican senate, emancipa-
ted from Roosevelt and Roose-
veltism, he cannot do a thing to
u.s."
His logic makes a fine campaigl
argument for Taft. If 1t is true tina
the interests" will support Bryan
because they know Bryan would b
helpless in the white house. and the,
will oppose Taft, because Taft will b
able to carry out the policies OF Roose
welt with a congress in sympathy witt
the administration, to do but nomi
ing for those Republicans, who lik
the administration to do but nomi
nate Taft, and for the good citizen
to do, but to elect him. They hav

THE SITUATION IN KENTUCKY.

1.-THE situation in Kentucky is SIM
ply this: A few Democratic members
refuse to abide by the decision of the
majority rendered at primary, that
majority being respected by nine
tenths of the Democratic members. "
says the Murray Ledger.
How differently people view the
paramount issue.
The Kentucky State Journal OBJ
serves:
"The Scott county farmer who says
he will plant larger crop of tobacco
than ever is looking for trouble. II
something doesn't happen to him We
will be very much surprised"
The Hopkinsyille, Kentucky, New
Era cries out from the midst of the
situation:
Don't for a moment imagine that
these masked gangs that nearly every
night are committing outrages are
knight riders, as some people would
have them regarded. They are des-
peradoes.

also, in Kentucky, a bunch OF
feuds and some unrestrained gangs of
night riders
The Columbus, Ohio, Evening Dis
patch remarks with apprehension:
"The night riders of Kentucky. in
their latest exploit at Eddyville, sur
passed all previous performances in
that they put ten men to the lash,
one OF whom was the police Judge,
and warned a common pleas Judge
that his immunity from violence de-
pended entirely on whether or not his
conduct was friendly to the tobacco
growers organization. In other words
the law has been superseded by the
desire of these tobacco growers. The
court is to deal no longer with the
Interpretation of statutes; II has to
consider neither facts nor evidence
nothing but the wishes of an organi-
cation that uses force to accomplish
its purposes.
Whatever the wrongs of the to-
bacco growers, this that they are seek
ing to inflict upon the state is far
greater. 1t amounts TO a nullifica-
ton of organized government, a de.
fiance of the executive who Is under
oath to enforce the law, a setting
aside of the legislature which makes
the laws and an overturning OF the
courts that are organized for the ad.
ministration OF justice. The judges
who do not do the bidding of the to-
bacco growers are to be taken from
their homes and whipped, perhaps
shot. This is by far the most serious
OF all the recent assaults upon the
dignity OF the state and the majesty
of the law. II will be interesting to
note how Kentucky meets this crisis. y

outbreak as the worst OF all:

done not a little injury to the repu-
tation of Kentucky in the past But

fortress. Captain Tsunoda. who, on
behalf of General Nogi, conducted the
negotiations for the surrender of the
fortress. came out last summer with
an open letter in defense of General
Stoessel. and continuing:
IF others forget IL, We remember
that Port Arthur cost US GO. 600 lives
by gun fire alone. We dug forty kno-
meters Of parallels and expended So
coo. 200 rounds of ammunition.
European history chronicles the
glorious capitulatfon of Port Arthur
and it is SO considered in Japan. That
is why the emperor of Japan ordered
General Nogi to treat Stoessel with
all honors due to a gallant soldier. His
own country should treat him like
wise"
The trial opened in st. Petersburg
on December 10, 1907, and except for
brief Interruptions continued until
February 4, when Stoessel himself for
lowing the plea of his counsel. should
cred all the blame for the surrender.
Communication of the sentence was
asked on the ground that Port Ar
thur, beset by Overwhelming forces.
defended Itself under Stoessels lead
ership with unexampled stubbornness
and filled the world with astonlsh-
ment at the heroic courage Of its gar
rison; that several assaults had been
lrepulsed with tremendous losses on
the part OF the enemy: that Stoessel.
throughout the siege, had maintained
the heroic courage of the defenders.
and finally. that he had taken an ener-
getic part in three campaigns.
Before the sentence was read meas
ures were taken to prevent a demon
stration in favor of Stoessel by a
number of younger officers and wit
nesses present. These later sent a
dispatch to the emperor saying they
would humbly bear testimony that
Stoessel was the soul of defense Of
Port Arthur; that he had always en-
couraged and put heart into the gar
rison and that in case of war they
would wish to serve under such a
hera. They asked the empress
graciously to bespeak from the EN-
peror a full pHdon.
There was a dramatic moment after
the reading of the sentence when a
detachment of soldiers filed into the
hall. Spectators thinking that they
were about TO seize Stoessel displayed
great excitement, several women
fainting. 1t developed, however, that
this was merely a guard for the dis
persal of court. Stoessel, who was
accompanied by his son, was the OBJ
ject of sympathetic demonstrations,
friends kissing and shaking him by
the hand as he left the court leaning
en- his sons shoulder.

Washington, Feb. 21.--The SEN
tence of Stoessel is regarded by Amer
lean military officers as the logical
consequence both of the surrender of
Pors Arthur and Russian military dis
cipline. That the sentence Is justified
is the general expert belief. The con-
sensus of opinion is that Port Ar
thur was surrendered prematurely.
Considerations which entered into
the military problem which Stoessel
had to face are summed up here as
embracing a choice between standing
out to the last ditch and in that way
keeping the besieging army engaged
and not free to strike at another
point, and surrendering because the
ultimate result was apparently hope

that, boys who four years ago when

81 have been a coffee user for years
and about two years ago got into a
very serious condition of dyspepsia and
Indigestion. 1t seemed to me 1 would
fly to pieces. I was so nervous that al
the least noise I was distressed, and
many times could not straighten myself
up because of the pain.
My physician told me must not eat
any heavy or strong food and ordered
a diet, giving me some medicine. I fol-
lowed directions carefully, but kept on
using coffee and did not get any better.
Last winter by husband, who was away
on business, had Postum Food Coffee
served to him in the family where he
boarded.
He liked it so we'll that when he
came home he brought some with him.
We began using it and found it most
excellent. While drank it my stomach
never bothered me in the least, and
got over my nervous troubles. When
the Postum was all gone we returned
to coffee, then my stomach began to
hurt me as before and the nervous
conditions came on again.
THAT showed me exactly what was
the cause of the whole trouble, so I
quit drinking coffee altogether and kept
on using Postum. The old troubles left
