THE SUPREME QUESTION
WHICH is ALWAYS ALIVE

There is one issue-and only one
which manifests itself everywhere
and at all times; it is the conflict be-
tween the organized few who clam
or for privileges and favors, and the
unorganized many who ask nothing
but the right to enjoy the proceeds
of their own toll under laws which
guarantee equal and exact justice.
This is the never-ending struggle
which is going on in all lands in the
United States as well as in other
countries.
1t is of vital Importance that ev-
cry senator and congressman shall
be on the side of the people; that
every one who represents the people
at Washington shall say what the
people want done. A mans head
may lead him astray on some ques-
lions but his heart is wrong II he
takes the side OF those who want to
use the Government as a private as
set in business.-[Bryan's Common
er.

INITIATED A WILDCAT
.--SHOT BY HUNTER
Hid in Bushes to Scare Hunters
Paid for Prank
With Life.

Paducah. KY, Nov. As the re-
suit Of his attempt to brighten a par
ty of possum hunters, Rudolph
Smith, twenty years old, died atMur-
ray this morning from gunshot
wounds.
Carl Dowdy and a boy named
Waters went to the farm of John
Smith. three miles south of Murray,
Saturday evening about o'clock, to
hunt 'possums. They wanted Ru-
dolph Smith to accompany them, and
Rudolph determined to give them a
scare.
He went into a briar patch, about
10 yards from his house, after send
ing word to the boys that he would
join them near there, and when they
approached, he made sounds like the
scream of a wildcat. The Waters
boy ran, but Dowdy, who is a dead
shot, stood his ground, and sent the
dogs into the thicket.
They came out with their hair
bristling, and Dowdy held up his
lantern, by the CLEAN Of which, he
said afterward, he caught the CLINT
of Smiths eyes. He let go with
both barrels, and Smiths screams Of
agony indicated that his aim was
deadly.
Dowdy recognized the human
voice and ran to Smiths aid. Smith
had been in a crouching position and
the balls, ranging downward, had
perforated his intestines time and
time again. Yet he was able to
walk home with the assistance of
Dowdy. He was hurried to Murray
and placed in the hospital, where he
was operated on. He never rallied,
however.

JUDGES TAX DECISION
ON POOLED TOBACCO

Hopkinsville, KY, Nov. 5.-In an
opinion handed down to-day, County
Judge Knight holds that the Plan
ters' Protective Association Of Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Virginia is
not liable for taxes on tobacco which
they controlled as selling agents on
September II. 1909, and for which
Earl c. Huntsman, State Revenue
Agent, filed suit praying for taxes
amounting to s3,5S4 and for penal
ty amounting to s716.SO.
In his opinion Judge knight holds
that the farmers themselves were
actual owners Of the tobacco and as
all lived in this county, the Revenue
Agent should have named them in
dividually; that the association new
er had physical control of the to-
bacco, but was merely a selling
agent.

TOOK CARBOLIC ACID
AND ENDED HIS LIFE
His Brother, Hearing GrOans,
Found Body in Dark Corner
of HayIOft.

After purchasing a two-ounce bot
tie of carbolic acid at the Whites
Vile drug store Friday morning,
stating that his mother wanted it.,
Joseph Hamilton went to his home
and hiding himself in one of the
darkest corners of a hayloft, drank
the contents of the bottle and died
before assistance could be rendered
him.
Hamilton's groans were heard by
his brother, Patrick, who had gone
TO the stable to secure a hay rake,
and the latter rushed to the house
for assistance, but upon his return
found that his brother had expired.
Joseph Hamilton was the son of
Abe Hamilton, one of the best
known farmers of the Whitesville
vicinity, and was about twenty-one
years of age. His act is attributed
to an unbalanced mind, as he had
been confined in the Western Ken
lucky insane asylum twice, and had
been at home only a few months
from the last trip. No other cause
can be given for his action, as he
had said nothing to any member of
the family about the rash act he
was about to perform.
He is survived by his father,
mother, six sisters and two brothers.
