TELL ALL THE TRUTH.

In its effort to discredit the admin

ford Herald is willing to smother some
things from its readers and it also
shows an inclination to misrepresent
the facts. On the question of mill

must recognize as so unfair as To
stamp the Herald so partisan as 10
be thoroughly unreliable.
The Republican spirit of rule in
Kentucky is a spirit of war and strife,
of calling guns and soldiers bayo-
nets. The leaders of this party seem
to want to shoot the people in 10 sub

at the outset of his Govcrnorship, was
quick 10 call out the military. Tay-
lor, during his short but riotous rule,
was surrounded, at his own behes;. by
more soldiery Than any executive who
ever occupied the Governors chair in
Kentucky. Gov. Wilson is follow

bullet rule in Characteristic style. 1t
is a spirit that rs foreign to all true
Kentuckianss They are a people Of
peace, if rightly approached-a people
who do and will obey the law. But
they cannot be bluffed nor shot into
submission"
Everybody knows that the trouble at

soldier there. He has only
those whom Beckham had sent

INGRATITUDE.

About Is years ago Mr.. S. j. Rob-
erts immigrated from the State of
Ohio 10 Lexington, Ky. He was born
and raised at Canton, the home of the
late President Mckinley. When the
campaign of 1896 came on Roberts,
who had started the Lexington Lea
der, espoused the case of Mckinley in
his race for the Republican nomina-
ton for President. Mckinley had
been his boyhood friend and he was
honored for his stand even by those
who differed with him. After the
election the president made him Col
lector OF Internal Revenue at Lexing-
ton over the vehement protests of all
the old resident Republicans of that
part of the State, who thought that a
Kentuckian should be given the place
Roberts had even been made Campaign
Chairman, at the suggestion OF Mark
Hanna, McKinley's manager and with
Hanna's aid he held on under Roose-
welt. It is said. No politician who
ever came South with his carpet bag

Removal of Public Printer
Supplies For the Panama Canal to
BE Carried by Vessels Owned
BY the u. S.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 12,-The
main topic of interest in Washing on
this week is the suspension of the
public printer, Charles A. Stillings by
the President, which amounts practi-
cally TO a removal as the facts already
disclosed will preclude the possibility
of his reinstatement.
The Central Labor Union, through
It's executive committee, went before
President Roosevelt, following the
removal of Mr.. Siillings, and made ad-
dilional charges against him. The
charges We're filed with the President
and by him turned over TO Mr.. Rossi-
ter for hearing These are that the
Public Printer was guilty of violation
of the eight-hour law and two or
three other statutes governing the
office of the Public Printer.

ville another son, Samuel c. Roberts,
is the hotel keeper al FOrdsville, and
the other three are farmers residing
at and near Fordsville. He also left
twenty-seven grand children and forty
four great grand children.
In the year 1S47 Mr.. Roberts bought
the farm near where he died and
since that time till his death he has
lived almost in sight of the home he
first moved to on this farm. In early
life he Joined the church and at the
ZINE of his death he was a Deacon of
East Fork Baptist church ut sIones
Station, Ohio county, Kentucky. Dur
ing the Civil war he was Orderly Ser
geant of the noted Adams Fork Home
Guards and during The four years that
he served the State and Nation, his
tory has long ago acknowledged his
valuable military service.
Mr.. Roberts wife died June 5, 1899
and soon after her death he visited
his oldest daughter, the wife of Ed
win Forbes, which was near his late
home and he was so we'll pleased with
this visit that by the consent of Col.
Forbes and his household he re-
NAMED with them and for over
nine years this was his home. He
stayed but few nights from the room
he died in and the last night he says
from it he returned to 1t sick and
could never be persuaded to stay from
1t another night.
At 10 o'clock on the morning Of the

in the room he died in by Rev. H. W..
Morton, who had known him for for
ty years, been his neighbor for thirty
years and a former pastor of the
church Mr.. Roberts was a deacon In

services by having the church choir
sing favorite hymn of Mr.. Roberts
when he attended church meetings,
and after reading several appropriate
passages of the scriptures took for
his text these words: "'All Flesh is
as Grass" Rev. Morton spoke of the
many years he had known Mr.. Rob
erts as a neighbor and church member
and that his long and peaceful life
was a model Of Christianity for the
present time. Rev. Morton closed his
address by requesting the choir to
sing familiar hymn while the remains
were looked upon at his home for the
last time.
