Right upon the Scaffold and
wrong upon the Throne"
throughout this part Of the
Eleventh Congressional District,
is evidence that Mr.. Powers seeks
to ascertain the feeling of his
party with a view of entering
the political contest for seat in
Congress. 1t is also a fact that
many of the active Republicans
OF this county, as in other sec
tons, are DESTROYS of his entry
into the political situation and
would doubtless use all their en-
ergy and sagacity to make him a
winner over any other Republi-
can who might seek that posi-
ton, but regardless of the fact
that the majority of his party in
these counties are with him, yet
it is a stubborn truth that he
would have intelligent, active
and unrelenting opposition from
substantial Republicans should
he enter the fight. 1t is not our
purpose to do Mr.. Powers an in
justice nor to accuse his special
friends and supporters of bad
motives, but to speak plainly, his
entry into the political interests
OF this District would open afresh
the troubles of the past and in
stead of advancing the peace and
prosperity of the people would
evidently excite the passions and
prejudices and broaden tn e
breech which has existed for
several years. That his tour is
a political play; that his lecture
seeks to strengthen partisan
sympathy and more firmly en-
graft himself into the good graces
and efforts of Republicans to
heroic and reward, can hardly
be doubted. 1t is not our pur-
pose to engage in a Republican
fight, for it is not our business
and does not concern our inter
ests, but living, hoping and trust
ing that the dark shadows that
have lowered over our State and
our district, for several years.

fulness and that Kentucky may
soon be in the embrace of politi-
cal peace and upright official con-
duct, we dislike to see any move
that tends to the opposite. 1t is
not a matter whether Mr.. Pow
ers is what he claims, a : martyr,
or a party to an assassination,
the people are divided as to his
guilt or innocence, as to his prose-
cution, or persecution, and no
election can remove or produce
a change in public sentiment.
He could only be indicated
through evidence proving in
nocence before a trial court. This
has been eliminated by Execu-
tive clemency. His admirers
ought to consider the good of the
district first and personal pref
ference second. They can not
fail to see that his candidacy
means fractional trouble in their
own party and a reopening Of
the Goebel murder charges with
all its bitterness, and that no
good can possibly come from
such a fight. A victory would
not mean vindication, but mere
ly the strength of factional pow
er and leave his party divided
and the district in turmoil.
There are many able Republi-
cans in the district whose rec
ords are clean and whose cleo
ton would reflect credit, and if
the Republican leaders truly
have the good of the country at
heart, if they cherish peace as a
blessing, then Mr.. Powers should
be told to pursue an avocation of
a civilian. His candidacy will
prove an expensive luxury for
the leaders who shoulder his
cause. It will prove a mistake
for his party and in the end dis
appointment for himself. His
party has already done more for
him than any other one, man in
the State. He is bound to know
that his entry into politics is the
introduction of strife and the in
telligent leaders and hackers of
his ambition should well weigh
the moral Importance of such a
conflict. That we should oppose
his candidacy may well be ex-
pected, but to be plain and fair,
to be clearly understood, our
protest would be forthcoming
were he a Democrat. This ar
ticle is not prompted through
hatred to Mr.. Powers, but for
love of the public peace. No
man, regardless of party affilia-
ton or ability, resting under di-
vided public sentiment, whose
record is stained with the ac-
cusation charged against him
could get our support. If this
accusation is wrong it is most
unfortunate for him, if correct
his election would be a stain, a
black spot on the political morals
Of our district and State. 1t is
to be hoped that he will see the
cost his candidacy will give the
district and that his political
friends will see that his election
can not vindicate and both yield
for the public good.

Head Of Grocery Concern Suddenly
Shoots and Kills Two Men.
Huntsville, Ala, May 81. Robert
Jones, senior member of the insurance
firm of Jones & Rison, was shot and
instantly killed yesterday afternoon
by William L. Halsey, president of
the Halsey Wholesale Grocery com.
pany.
A. D. Mcdowell, shipping clerk in
the Halsey establishment, was fatally
shot and is expected to die.
Mr.. Halsey is in Jail and is said to
be insane.
The shooting occurred in the Hal.
sey store, where Mr.. Jones had gone
to adjust some matter relative to in
surance. No quarrel occurred, so far
as is known, and the shooting was
as unexpected to Mr.. Jones as to Will
liam l.. Halsey, Jr., son of the slayer,
who sat in the Office and was the sole
witness.
Mcdowell was shot several minutes
after Jones was killed. He had hur-
ried for a doctor for Jones, and, see
ing that Halsey was apparently in
sane, attempted to escape from him.
He was shot in the back, the bullet
coming out in his abdomen.
Halsey has been under treatment
for incipient insanity.
