Washington, Feb. 3.-Senator
Gore of Oklahoma has presented
a resolution drafted by G, w,
Washington, Negro, who has
spent some time in Liberia study
ing the condition of his race there.
The resolution has a long list of
names and asks the federal gov
eminent to appropriate certain
sum of money to be used for tie
transportation of such Negroes in
the United States who wish to
leave America and colonize in Lii
IBERIA. Washington formerly lived
in Okmulgee, Okla, but became
in the Negro migration
subject and mas been agitating it
extensively since his return from
Liberia. Many members of con-
gress including Senator Clapp of
Michigan, believe the idea to be
good one. but it would not, they
say, be any relief from the Negro
question in the South, as the more
educated Negroes would
take advantage of the chance and
the ignorant and illiterate ones,
would stay in this country.

his heart. II the Socialist believes
that all men are HIS brothers and
feels toward them in a brotherly
fashion, then, indeed is the brother
hood of man come, so far as he is
concerned. If he hates his brother,
then his preachment about the brother
hood Of man is utter hypocrisy and
his triumph would be a repetition Of
the French commune.
One step at time is sufficient. II
he tries to force his ideal into a
reality, he viii live and die a disap-
pointed soured human being. That
is all None of us living today, will
ever see a Socialistic government, or
even anything approximating the sub
stance Of what the Socialist hopes
for. Some day this will come to pass.
We are going in that direction; but
We sincerely believe the Socialist is
not helping us toward the goal, fur
ther than by keeping us reminded of
some ones discomfort. We fear he
is doing more harm to the brother
hood idea than he is good.

SOCIALISM AND SOCIALISTS.

We fear some of our Socialist
brethren are inclined to make So
cialism their religion instead Of their
politics. No one can find fault with
the Ethiopian vision. to which they
point as the ultimate aim Of their
endeavor; but no one need join the
ranks of the Socialists because he
desires to hasten the true era of the
brotherhood of man. We can con-
celve OF no rational. normal human
being today, who does not long for
the same happy condition of the race.
The fact that we are not all Socialists
should be proof enough to the aver
age person, that the Socialist organi-
zation has not found the magic, by
which the evolution of social develop
ment is TO be fastened by a revolu-
ton: for. assuming that the average
Democrat and Republican, for in
stance. is as intelligent and sincere
as the average Socialist, We must
agree that when the Socialist pre-
sents the right remedy for existing
conditions the majority in favor of II
will be utterly overwhelming.
Here's an important thing. We
might adopt the remedies suggested
by the Socialists and men would not
be happy. A minimum amount OF
work, comforts. time for travel and
culture. freedom from yice-all OF
any OF these will not give men happi-
ness, or contentment. Did that ever
occur to a Socialists? He could re-
store conditions that obtained in the
original garden of Eden, and the
tragedy OF the human soul would be
enacted all over again.
No one excepting the rich knows
that there is no Joy in riches. No
one but the scholar knows that
purely intellectual development and
attainment are only heights from
which to gain a wider vision Of
human despair. The traveller longs
for home. The idle go mad for en-
ployment. The drudges turn bitter
against the drones Power loses It's
fascination, once seized. The mon

Frankfort News.

Because itlcomes from Ed. o.
Leigh, who was Gov. Beckham's sec
rotary during the seven years that
he was chief executive of Kentucky,
the following from the Bowling
Green Messenger will be read with
interest here in Frankfort
Some of the papers contain the
statement that Chairman Combs, of
the Democratic State Campaign
Committee, will appoint Gen. Percy
Haly as campaign secretary. In the
interest of party harmony and party
success, The Messenger sincerely
trusts that the rumor is unfounded
and that Snator Combs has no such
intention.
I'VE might as well look the situa-
tion squarely in the face. The men
prominent in party organization dur
ling the Beckham administration
made antagonisms that would pre-
vent any man prominent in that or
ganization to command the support
of the entire party. This would APP
ply to any other with perhaps equal
force as Gen. Haly. except that he
was more prominently Identified
with a particular faction than others.
THE Democrats have a right to
regain control of the state. This is
not a Republican state, and only be-
came SO at the last election. because
of widespread distrust that had
grown up, unreasonably enough 1t is
true. of the administration of state
affairs as well as OF party manage
ment.
mo man actively connected with
the party affairs of the past should
be placed in the forefront at this
time. either as party manager or as
candidate. We should pick new
men from the ranks-new brains.

Clinton Gazette.

From time to time through many
years the Gazette has urged the
farmers of this county to prepare TO
hold their wheat. IL we had an ele-
vator this year with sufficient capa-
city to hold the wheat crop of the
county there is no telling how much
IL would be worth TO the farmers
While the price of wheat is now
much higher than the farmers ever
received at threshing time there is
no room to doubt that prices will
advance. But not one farmer in fifty
is prepared to hold his wheat. They
have neither grainery nor sacks, aud
they must haul it from the thresher
TO the railroad and take what ever
price is being paid on the day of de-
livery. This is a very poor business
arrangement-in fact, il is an ar
rangement wholly lacking in bust
ness. The elevator is not going TO
build itself, and IL the building OF II
is postponed from year to year in
the desperate hope that something
will turn up" it will not be built in
this generation and the only thing
that viii turn up" will be the farm
ers' toes to the daisies. Thousands
upon thousands of dollars have been
lost to the farmers of this county
through this lack of preparation to
handle the wheat crop, and middle
men and spectators have pocketed
this money which the farmers might
have made IL they had had an eye to
business.

A CORROBORATION


For months Paducah citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Pa
ducah residents. Would these promi-
nent people recommend a remedy
that had not proven reliable? Would
they confirm their statements after
years had elapsed IL personal expert
ence had not shown the remedy to
be worthy of endorsement? No
stronger proof of merit can be had
than cures that have stood the test
of time. The following statement
should carry conviction TO the mind
OF every Paducah reader:
w. +. Shoemaker. S11 Tennessee
street, Paducah, KY, says: "Since
publicly endorsing Doan's Kidney
pills in 1907, ] have used them on a

We do not agree with Ed. on the
proposition he lays down. We think
that there should be no question of
Beckham or anti-Beckham now when
the times demand a wiping out of
past faetional troubles. There is no
use to revive old disturbances.
Percy Haly would make the best
secretary. that could be obtained. as
far as organizing the state is con-
cerned. We do not know whether
he will be offered the place or
whether he would accept It II he was

same time we print what Mr.. Leigh
says because II is of interest to the
people coming from Gov. Beckham' 5
