still Another Blow.

When the present general assem-
bly, met, the prospects of the Ken
lucky Democracy were brighter than
they had been for many years The
real Democrats who had failed 20
support the state ticket in 1907 were
apparently convinced OF their error.
and In the 1909 election had come
back home, glad of an opportunity 20
make such reparation as they could
for having. either directly or Indirect
ly. helped to turn the state over to
the Republicans. Everyth ng pointed
to an old fashioned Democratic vic
tory In 1911. But when the general
assembly convened the preparation of
the rules OF the senate was entrusted
to subcommittee much more inter-
ested In the defeat of the county unit
bin and other matters OF legislation
than they were in the success of the
Democratic party This sub-commit-
tee reported a set OF rules that would
make Joe Cannon blush for shame.
and attempted to force them on the
senate without a vote on the advice
OF the Whallen-Courier-J journal can
didate for governor
This OF itself made a heavy enough
handicap for the party to carry In
the next election, but added to this
was the conduct of certain Demo-
cratic seuators who had pledged them
selves in writing to support the coun-
tyl unit bill, either openly violating
their pledges or lodging a vote on
questions pertaining to the advance
ment OF the bill.
And now. IN the closing dags OF the
session. another blow has been struck
the party by the tactics used IN pass
ing the "ripper bill" The methods
adopted by the majority in order TO
pass this bill constitute another bur
den for the party to carry in the next
campaign. These methods were both
linexcusable and unnecessary. The
press of the country barring such
papers as haIbituaily suppress the
news. carried the whole story yester-
day. and repetition of Il woirld be un-
necessary. We Will say In passing
that Il would be a waste OF time TO
try to have the senate Journal show
that the proceedings were regular. az
the matter will, of course. be thrashed
out In the courts. and all the facts
made public
The blow Is a staggering one for
the party We hope 10 break its
force somewhat by repudiating such
methods. And we call on the Demo-
cratic press OF the state. and the De
mocracy that has not bowed the knee
TO the Whallen-Linn- -Combs-J ohnson-
Courier-Journal combination to speak
out. as il has been doing. and declare
that the party does not stand for
these things.-Kentucky State Jour

son to believe that. whatever instruc-

The Louisville ripper bill, of course,
Interests no one excepting the Louis
willie machine, and II that machine Is
able to invoke the heartiest activities
OF the legislative organization in be-
half of its private interests to the
neglect of every other interest, is It
not reasonable to assume that the
same machine Is the one that put the
reverse English on the county unit
bill?
In other words II Is apparent that
the Democratic party IN throwing on
the shackles of machine OF state
wide membership. made an ally1 and
then a master of a machine that is
limited In its interests to the graft
of Louisville and Frankfort. and that
will operate the state capitol, IL Il
succeeds in the next state election,
as an adjunct to the Louisville city
hall and the JEFFERSON county court
house.
The people don't like this. The
state press reflects the sentiment of
every section against this usurpation.
The fragrant insult to the manhood of
Kentucky flung out by this legisla-
ture In its violation OF pledges. waste
of public funds, disregard of the
states credit and notorious bribery,
IS not to be endured; yet there Is
something wrong in the underlying
principle of party organization when
such things can be done. Kentucky
is not alone in this condition. Peo-
pie elsewhere are studying the prob
lem OF how parties may be made to
reflect and express the will OF the ma
jority: which Is the end and the pur-
pose OF party.

PARTIES AND REPRESENTATIVE
GOVERNMENT

i II Is not difficult to see the result
of error. and explanations are always
handy; but ii requires some effort of
1.-THE mind TO discover the cause of
error and time and trouble to remedy
the fault. That, perhaps, Is why we
have been so slow to reform our
political methods. Take Kentucky
for example. II is a Democratic
state. When matters reached 50 ser-i-
GUS pass. that between the Hargises
and Galatians in the mountains and
the night riders in the tobacco coun-
try, a league of lawlessness was en-
composing the state, and not alto
gether the most representative citi-
zens Of the commonwealth were being
attracted to politics anywhere. then
the people revolted and elected the
present administration, and patriotic
Democrats breathed Sigh OF relief
and declared they had lifted from
their party an incubus. The next ses-
sion of the legislature showed them
their error. With a majority in the
legislature, the Instructions OF the
Democratic state primary we're ig-
nored and with the final destruction
OF the old state machine, which was
formally announced at the succeed
ing convention TO select delegates 20
the national convention, another ma
chine came into power.
The rural constituents were inter-
ested in a county unit bill and semt
men TO the present legislature
pledged to vote for IL. They were
chagrined to see their representatives,
whose written pledge they hold. bold
ly vote against the measure and offer
no word of apology or explanation.
People are honestly divided on that
issue. OF course, and IL Is only the
moral terpitude involved in the con-
duct OF a man, VINO will promise TO
do a thing and then refuse to per-
form II, that fascmates our attention.
Who is responsible? II is 30 easy to
say the whisky ring. That is an
explanation. which seems satisfactory,
and saves the vexation of thinking;
but with very little effort We can
study the whole course OF legislation
and by correlating issues quickly de-
termine what combination holds the
balance of power and what measures
II supports and what 1t opposes. This
ought to tell us. who is responsible
for the defeat OF the county unit, TO
which the Democratic party stands
pledged. and show the rank and file
OF the parity what influence is in COM
mand.
The two measures that attracted
the most attention during the whole
session and that called forth all the
activities of the rules committee and
the lobby IN holding back the one
and pushing forward the other. were
the county unit bill and the Louis
willie ripper bill. The same forces that
RETARDED the one promoted the other,
and the latter was rushed through
The Paducah evening sun., 1910-03-05

respondents would have us believe.
Two things must be borne in mind
in reading Washington dispatches,
and not the least OF these is the
source Of Information. The other is
the bias of the publication. Maga-
zines, which supported Roosevelt, are
opposed to Taft, because he recon-
mended a higher postal rate for them
than for newspapers, which do not
carry the volume of advertising or
travel as far. others wilfudy, OF
lgnorantly misunderstood him, be-
cause his problems differ from those
OF Roosevelt.
Roosevelt was elected president on
the strength of a sentimental popu-
larity, aroused by his striking per
sonality and his war record. He was
preacher in the presidential chair,
and he aroused the public to a con-
sciousness of the needs of the hour.
He made political capital out of his
fight with the leaders of congress;
but he adroitly lodged the tariff is
sue and left the perfection of his pol
icies to his successor. This involves
legislative enactment. Criticism Is
made Of President Taft that half the
session has passed and
no progressive laws are enacted;
yet, they overlook the fact that the
generations now living cannot re-
member when so much entirely new
legislation was 50 early advanced in
the hands of the committees, and not
one of them can point to any con-
structive legislative of Roosevelt's
administration.
Here Is where they do President
Taft injustice: the same men. who
abuse him for friendship for Cannon
and Aldrich, abuse him because they
do not enact laws. in accordance
with his recommendations. Roose-
welt inaugurated the policies; Taft
promised to urge their enactment |
Roosevelt quarreled with Cannon and
Aldrich to arouse the people in be-
lah of the policies. and left II to
Taft to get the policies enacted into
avs. To do this Taft must induce
Cannon and Aldrlch to support them. |
They are elected, not from the coun-
Try at large, but from their respec-
tive districts and state, and they are
in congress. and they are leaders of
congress through the law of natural
are gifted to lead.
1t is not a sentimental obligation to
denounce legislators, but a practical
to secure the votes Of
these legislators for his policies, that
rests on President Taft. II is to
that task he has set himself. and the
strength of his character is shown
in the fact, that he is not afraid OF
the criticisms that blow on him to-
day, knowing that success in his un-
dertaking will change the direction
of the wind before another presi-
Dental election comes around.
The dinner to the speaker follows
the precedent of President Roose-
velt. Joe Cannon. for the dignity of
the house, declined to permit the su-
preme justices to take precedence
over him at white house functions;
30 President Roosevelt gave him a
dinner of his own, attended by per
sonal friends. That is all there is
to that incident.
