to the unfortunate wards of the
State.
But we should go step farther
A capable and efficient employee
should be assured of his position.
This editorial is suggested by a
News dispatch of yesterday which
stated that the Prison Commission
had raised $4,000 for the recent cam
paign. This money came from the
employees of the State. They were
compelled willingly or unwillingly to
contribute to the fund. Their posi-
tons depended on their responding
to the call. Both parties pursue the
same tactics. We venture to say that
there was not an employee at Frank
fort who did not give up his mite for
the campaign fund in the recent cleo
ton.
The scandal of these compulsory
contributions forced finally the pass
ing of a National Civil Service law.
Grover Cleveland, when president.
first made the law Efficient There
are undoubtedly violations in every
election. But they are reducedto min
umum and are conducted secretly
and stealthily. And neither national
party would think for a moment of
repeating the present law.
There is no reason why a guard at
the penitentiary should be forced to
aid the Democratic party TO win a
victory, nor should a deputy clerk in
Louisville under a Republican chief
be made to help carry Kentucky for
the Republicans. They are both pub
lie servants of the whole people of the
State. The only requirement asked
of them should be that they fulfill the
duties of their positions honestly and
efficiently. If either desires to con-
tribute voluntarily that is a different
matter.
The penitentiary is a public charge,
the clerks office is for the cOnven-
fence of the public. All employees
are servants of the people. And the
people have a right to ask that their
servants render to them value for
the money paid them.

MONEY In ELECTIONS.

Thirty or more candidates for
county Offices in Madison have met
and agreed that they will not use
whiskey, money or other illegal
influence to gain votes in their re-
spective races. The dispatch says:
1.-THE floaters are disconsolate, hut
the candidates who were on the eve
of a tremendous struggle feel a
sense of relief, and the public gen
orally is gratitied with the stand
taken for a clean primary
This is as it should be. There is
too much money spent unwisely
and illegally in elections and in
primary contests. Each side JUST
fies its buying of votes by the state
ment that eve must fight the devil
with fire." But this is not true.
The evil grows by being fed. Many
floaters now will not even vote their
own convictions unless they are
paid to do so.
We notice that in the Democratic
press of Kentucky much is said
of the vast amount of money spent
by the Republicans to buy the
recent election. The Republican
press, on tie other hand, asserts
vigorously that the Democrats car
ried Kentucky by the use of money.
"And why beholdest thou the
mote that is in thy brothers. eye
but considerest not the beam that is
in thine own eyer
Cor how wilt thou say to thy
brother, Let me pull out the mote
out of thine eye, and behold, a
beam is in thine own eyes'
. 1t is sad commentary On the fu-
ture of America if more than a
million votes can be bought in a
national election. For ourselves.
we do not believe it, But there is
far too much money spent by both
sides. 1t is the duty of good citiie

Editor Winchester News
In some cities there are ordi-
pances against blockading and OBJ
structing the sidewalks. If there is
such an ordinance in Winchester, it
is not enforced ON Sunday nights in
front of the Brown-Proctoria.
Last night, the sidewalk there
was blockaded by young men from
$50 to 7:30; to such an extent that
ladies as they went to church were
compelled to walk around groups
of men, who were standing on the
pavement and not offering to get
out of the way. Finally, l saw a
gentleman with two ladies attempt
to pass and the man actually had
to put his hands on the shoulders of
three young men and ask them to
stand aside, so as to let the ladies
pass. The young men moved slow

CIVIL SERVICE.

Kentucky must have a civil service
law. A short step in this direction
was taken at the recent session of the
Legislature, when the partisan
Board of Control of the charitable
institutions was provided for. There
will no longer be a clean sweep of all
employees when there is a change of
administration. There is now some
chance of an efficient employee being
retained no matter what his politics.

Denver Convention Opens
Sessions Today.
GOMPERS HAS OPPOSITION

Opponents Of Executive Officer Refer
to His Losing Campaign as Sign
That He Has Lost Standing as
Leader of Workingmen, While
Friends Point to Certain Congress
sionaI Candidates Defeated For
Anti-Union Views In His Favor.
Denver, Colo, Nov. 9.-The twenty
eighth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor, which
1t is predicted will be the most i'm
portant gathering Of delegates of that
body in its history, began in this city
today. The political program carried
out by the executive council during
the recent political campaign, and
which has generally been referred to
as MIR. Gompers' plan, will come up
for Endorsement. Opponents of Sam
uel GOmpers of more or less strength
within the federation are charging
AAAA WIN PClhAClOuo dCIlN-
ity" and using other arguments to
convince delegates that he has lost
standing as a leader of workingmen,
and that the working classes need
expect nothing from congress in the
way of legislation if Gompers contin-
ues at the head Of the federation.
Among those who are expected to
lead the fight against the reelection
of the federation's president is Daniel
Keefe of the longshoremens union,
who was charged with deserving the
federation's legislative committee
and coming out for Taft in consider
alton of the promise Of political
office. Although it is difficult to get
the temper of the delegates at this
time. local leaders who will partici-
pate in the sessions of the conven-
ton laugh at the idea of Gompers
being turned down. They point to
the defeat of certain candidates for
congress known as enemies of labor
as distinct victory to the cause and
one to be joyful over, in spite Of the
federation's unfruitful support of the
Democratic national ticket.
In addition to this leading question
there are a number of matters up for
decision. mostly relating to internal
discussions of affiliated bodies, quar-
rels over jurisdiction, etc. Half a
dozen cities are after the convention
for 1909.

USING WOOD WASTE.
It Is Good for Door Handles and Score

Satisfactory substitutes for wood,
horn, rubber and like materials are pro-
duced by K. Ander of Medgyes, Hun
gary, by a new treatment of wood
waste. After a preliminary treatment
and hardening with size and such solu-
ton as aluminium salts or potassium BIZ
chromate, the waste is dried and ground,
and the fine material is then mixed with
binding agent such as glue, contain
ing a little potassium bichromate, to-
gether with oatmeal or linseed meal, or
other substance containing starch, gum.
or varnish.
The details of the process may be con-
siderably varied Further hardening
may be given by the addition of mineral
matters, such as infusorial earth, chalk,
kaolin, or fine alumina: and toughness
may be impaired by adding 5 to 10 per
cent. of chopped textile fiber, rags
hemp, jute, or the like. Coloring mat
tiers may be incorporated The mass,

FOUR SCORE YEARS.

To me the years nave gentler grown.
And time more gracious nc. appears.
AS here / sit ana muse alone
At four score years.
The best of living is the last,
And life grows sweeter at its close;
For something richer than the past
These days disclose.
No mourning now. the silvered hair,
The bodys slowly waning power,
As here l wait and calmly dare
Earth's final hour.
Those dreams of honor or of gain.
OF wreaths and crowns to grace the brow
That stirred to action-none remain
TO srs me now.
The tossing life, the hope, ana fear.
The strife. the pain of earlier days
On these, all past, look with clear,
Unshrinking gaze.
The toll is past-count not the COST
Forgotten are the tears once shed;
Bright are the memories of the lost
The precious dead.
The increase of the corn and wine,
A growing .gladness of the heart,
And much Of peace and joy are mine
From men apart.
Alone, vet not alone, stand:
Around, within, a Power divine
Is present-a heavenly hand
Is touching mine.
Strange glories gid the closing day,
And one bright star, from out the West
Allures, with tender light, away
From work to rest.
Soft voices which amid the din
OF outward life / could not hear
Are gently whispering within
Their words Of cheer.
So, welcome is each flying year.
And welcome is this silent bliss;
Nor aught the noisy world can hear
Compares with this.
Old four score friends, now on the slope
OF life, cast far away all fears
And grasp with me the larger hope
OF eighty years.
