party has made in the Southern
States is due primarily to the fact
that the people of that section are
rapidly drifting back to the ideas up-
on this question of Henry Clay and
of the old Wing party of the South.
1T was the doctrine of protection
that made West Virginia as soIidIy
Republican as is the keystone State.
1t was the doctrine of protection that
has made Maryland a doubtful State.
1t was the same doctrine that made
Missouri and Kentucky Republican
and that has created the magnificent
Republican armies in Tennessee and
North Carolina, which, at no distant
day, will lead them also into the Re-
publican column.
81 beg my Republican brethren of
the North to consider this phase of
the question which, in my judgment,
Is not only polite to do, but their
duty to do, in dealing with the indus
tries of the South-not the New
South as some gentlemen have term
ed it, but the old South emerging
from the prejudices and passions en-
gendered by the war and the ques-
tions preceding it, and getting back
to her old status again.
"Let us help her onward along the
highway. Of progress, and, even if
some of her Representatives do pro-
test against it, let us treat them in
the spirit which found expression in
the beautiful words of the Master
Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do"

TROOPS GUARD FIRE
RAVAGED DISTRICT
Fort Worth, Tex, Suffers Two
Million Dollar Loss.

Fort Worth, Tex, April 5.-State
troops continue TO guard the burned
district in South Fort Worth to pre-
vent looting. A relief committee was
named, but because of the fact that
the burned residence district was pop
ulated largely by those in comfortable
circumstances the monetary relief
needed is small.
To party of small boys and care
lessly thrown cigaret is generally
credited the fire, which destroyed
property valued at $2,000,000, caused
the death of one man, j. ]. Newton,
bank employe, the serious injury Of
six others, rendered 800 families
homeless and will cause the tempo
rary idleness of several hundred
workmen employed in the manufac-
turing plants and business houses
burned.
The fire originated in barn near
the corner of Petersmith street and
Jennings avenue. Driven by gale
blowing from the southwest, the
flames quickly spread to adjoining
buildings.
After eating its way through the
residence district and reducing to
ashes 300 pretentious dwellings,
three churches and the Walker sani-
tarium, the flames attacked the man
ufacturing plant of the Sawyer Elec-
trical company. This building was
quickly destroyed, and five large
warehouses and several smaller busi-
ness houses suffered a like fate.
The yards of the Texas & Pacific
railroad company were in the path
way of the fire. The roundhouse, re-
pair shops, coal chutes and several
fitr2drcd boxcars were destroyed, and
20 locomotives were reduced to twist
ed masses OF, steel and iron.
The burned area is approximately
a mile and half in length and half
mile wide, and while twill require
lays to accurately compute~ the indi-
viCral losses, a conservative esfrll11 l11ate
place the aggregate at about $Ss
10000.

KIDNAPS THE TWO
KENTUCKY OFFICERS
Steamboat Captain Carries Sheriff to
Illinois. Out of States
Jurisdiction.

PADUCAH, KY, April 5.-When
Sheriff Boshop and Deputy Sheriff
Champion, of Livingston county, KY,
boarded the steamer Liberty Bell at
Smith Land Sunday to allow Captain
Harry Davis to execute bond, they
were kidnapped and carried down the
river to the Illinois shore, opposite
Paducah, where the Kentucky officers
had no jurisdiction.
Captain Davis was arrested when
the boat landed at Smith Land on the
charge that liquor had been sold
obOard the boat recently while it was
landed there. He was fined $50 and
asked the officers to accompany him
to the boat so he could execute bond.
When they reached the cabin the boat
pulled out Deputy Champion took
the wheel, and in trying to guide the
boat to the Kentucky shore the tiller
rope was either broken or cut.
The boat finally landed in Illinois
opposite here, where serious trouble
was threatened betweenl the crew and
the Kentucky officers, who were then
out of their jurisdiction. Both sides
had pistols. When the sheriff went
into the engine room two shots were
fired outside and he got out. Later
the officers returned to Kentucky.

MOST CHARGES
ARE SUSTAINED
Federal Officials Are Guilty of Per-
nicious Activity-R0oseveIt
is ExOnerated.

New York, April 5.-The report Of
the special committee appointed by
the National Civil Service Reform
league to investigate the matter Of
political activity on the part OF fed
! eral officeholders has been made pub
lie. The committee Systematically
gathered current press reports of al
legged undue political activity and.
sitting out the more serious accusa-
tions through correspondence with the
parties involved and by detailed in
quiry into the circumstances, sought
to determine the truth.
The conclusions of the committee
are that the charges to a great extent
are sustained. A notable exception Is
reported in the allegations made dur
ing the last campaign to the effect
that Mr.. Roosevelt coerced certain
federal oficeholders into the support
of Mr.. Taft for the Republican nomi-
nation. With his permission the lists
of the presidents appointments for a
considerable period prior to the na-
tional convention were scanned by
the committee, which finds that the
evidence to sustain the charge Is
wholly lacking. On the contrary, Mr..
Roosevelt is credited with having ad-
vanced the cause of civil service re-
form by so amending the civil service
rules as to prohibit employees in the
competitive service from taking part
in political campaigns.
On the broad questions of per-
nicious activity in politics Of federal
officeholders, however. the committee
finds that most undesirable situation
exists. OF the more than 300.0 fed
eral officeholders. one-third are not
amenableto civil service classification.
These officers often exercise a power
full influence in politics and consti-
tute, in the opinion of the committee.
menace to free institutions. The
remedy is to be found, the committee
believes, in an extension OF the clas-
sified competitive service and a clear
er definition of the executive order
governing political activity in the un-
classified service. 1t Is also suggested
that the civil service commission or
some other body free of departmental
dictation be empowered to investigate
cases arising under the executive or
der.

STANDS SOME
SEVERE TESTS
Motor Hose Wagon Makes Long Trip
to Suburban Towns on
Sunday.

Another test of the new motor hose
wagon of the fire department was
made Sunday evening. Chief A. r.
Baldwin in company with councilmen
J. Q. Boone, G. d. McCullum, Fl. II.
Rippy, Maurice Stroud, Austin Reev-
es, Vernon Hisle, Albert Baldwin and
reporter for The News left VIM
chester at 2:15 for Lexington. The
trip to Lexington was made in As
minutes. From Lexington the party
went to Paris. over the old MaysvilIe
pike.
This pike is considered one of the
best in the United States and to us it
seemed to be better than the streets
in Winchester. 1t would do the coun-
ty officials good and it would be in
structive for them just to make one
trip over it.
The trip to Paris was made in
about 30 minutes. In Paris thew went
around to the fire department where
ievery courtesy was shown them by
the chief, Ed. Hite. The gasoline
was about out and every store was
closed, but through the kindness of
DR.. Kenny, the machine was replen-
Iished and not a cent was charged.
The party returned from Paris via
Lexington. On the return trip the
party stopped in Lexington for sup
per, leaving Lexington at about SIS.
the trip being made back to Winches-
ter from Lexington in 40 minutes.
The machine has stood the severest
tests and has proven satisfactory in
every respect and il viii probably be
put in commission this week.

Mr.. Langley created much laughter
and applause at the expense of
Chairman Payne when he referred to
the suggestion of the latter in the
debate a few days ago that the Rep
Iresentatives ought to climb up on top
of one of the Kentucky mountains
and see the needs of the balance of
the country, by comparing the sug-
gestion to Satan's plan to induce the
Savior to abandon His mission upon
the earth when he took Him up on
top of a high mountain and offered
Him all the Kingdoms of the world.
After criticising the bill as discrim-
mating against Southern industries,

He said that he was unalterably
to taxing tea and coffee,
which are two of the necessaries of
life, and added that a tariff on these
could only be for the purpose
OF raising revenue, as they did not
need protection, and declared that he
was IN favor of putting an additional
tax upon beer and whisky rather than
on those articles. He did not say
that he would vote against the bill,
but warned the committee that if the
bill was defeated it would be due to
the fact that it had not been framed
in accordance with the Republican
platform nor with the traditional
doctrines of the Republican party.
He criticised the contention that
raw materials should be placed upon
the free list, and contended that
is raw material which has
been touched by the hand of labor
He said that he had been criticised
for insisting on protection for the
of his own section without
regard to how it might affect the
balance of the country, and declared
that he regarded this as the pri-

LANGLEY SAYS INDUSTRIES OF
THE SOUTHLAND ARE SL|GHTED
Measure is Not in Accord With Republican Doctrine He Declares
Calls Attention to Lumber, Coal, Hemp and Other Schedules.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April o.
Representative Langley, of the Tenth
Kentucky District, who is taking a
leading part in the fight now going on
in the House for a more equitable
distribution Ofthe protective features
of the Payne bill, made a speech in
the House from the standpoint of
the Southern Republicans, which is
attracting quite a good deal of at
tention. He called attention to the
fact that the leading industries of his
section are either placed upon the
free hist or given inadequate protec-
ton. He referred more especially to
lumLer, coal, iron ore, hemp and fuor
spar, and contended mat the provi-
sions of the bill regarding these in
dustries are not in harmony with the
doctrines of the Republican party as
heretofore expounded by the leaders
of that party.
He argued for the retention Of the
Dlngley duty Of 81 Oh lumber, and
said that he thought that this duty
should be increased rather than de-
creased if it was the purpose of his
party to give proper protection to
this industry. His discussion of the
lumber question was especially point
ed. He showed that it is the sec
end largest industry in the United
States and more important even than
the iron and steel industry, in the
sense that the ownership of timber is
more diversified. embracing almost
every State and Territory in the I'm
ion, and that therefore any legisla-
tion that would tend to injure this
industry would injure a greater num-
Der of people than adverse legisla-
ton touching any other industry in
the country.
