AN uNWITTING PROPHET.

1--WE leave IL TO the decision of a
fair minded public. II We weren't a
prophet OF more than passing ability
when we spoke those simple words, "
remarks the urbane morning paper,
which has to be constantly reminded
OF what II has said, It forgets so
quickly. These simple words" were
the top line OF one Of its "scare
heads of December 26, 1909. which
ran Republicans will look like thirty
cents very soon" This mornings
comment reminds us of the language
the paper used December 80 in re-
ferrlng to our criticism of the same
story. Then II said "The Sun walls
because the NewsDemocrat forecast
ed on Sunday last some OF the meas
ures. which would come before the
next legislature for action. The News
Democrat always furnishes the news
to the people from 12 to Sc hours
ahead OF ANY other paper"
Let us produce the rest of that
prophecy" to see what the morning
paper calls news: The headlines
run Republicans will look like thirty
cents very soon. Legislature is Dem
ocratic and can take appointments
out of the governors hands-to pass
laws empowering legislature to elect"
The story under IL runs, The next
legislature, which will be Demo-
cratic by a large majority, will enact
laws that will take many appoint
ments out of Governor A. f. Will
sons hands and other Republican
officials" Then follows list of the
Offices. including the insurance. COM
missioner, adjutant general, board of
control, state inspector. revenue
agents, and a special prison commis-
sioner, who would oversee the gov
ernor's pardoning power. In the
same article IL said that clerks of
Second class cities would be empow-
cred to let the city printing con-
tracts.
Not a single measure, providing for
single one of the things mentioned
in that article, has ever come before
the legislature for enactment, and
will not at thds session. We said
truly the morning paper prophes,ed,
albeit unwittingly, that this legisla-
ture would devote its time and talents
to attempting to wrest Offices away
from the Republicans, but those
Offices are confined to jefferson com-
ty, which the bosses of the legislature
seem to think comprises all Of Ken
tuckY worth considering.

ton county was recruited in the Reel
foot Lake country of Tennessee and
also attacked negroes, not tobacco
growers. The attack on Paducaf
was planned because this is the first
city in the state, which contained a
newspaper that denounced night rid
ing. and became the strategic point
from which the fight against lawless-
ness was waged. The Messenger
did The Evening Sun the honor in
its last Sunday issue to say reports
from this Office induced Governor
Wilson TO act.
As for the assertion made by the
Messenger, concerning the last ad-
minfstration, that Every claim was
paid on presentation; a million dol
lars of indebtedness was paid on;
the tax rate was reduced; a new cap
itol was practically finished, and
there remained over a milfon dol
lars when the Wilson administration
took charge" We can only say, 1t
isn't 30.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

There are indications that the ad.
venturers, who rule over the destinies
of our Central American sister re-
publics, resent the Interference oi
this government with what they con-
slider their private affairs. Honduras
will not grant concessions to Ameri-
cans and II Is reported that Mad
riz's forces in Nicaragua have been
strengthened by 500 Honduran sol
diers. Mexico more closely sympa-
thizes with the fortunes and aspira-
tions of these pirates than this coun-
try. Consequently. we hear much to-
day. of Mexico's ascendency and the
decline of the influence of the United
States among Latin-American nations
Secretary OF State Knox has been
criticized for what writers term HIS
bullying tactics with Latin-American
republics, as II he were dealing with
free people or representative govern
ments The heads of those countries
are buccaneers, and the United States
would be cutting a dignified figure,
indeed, did she vie with Mexico in the |
esteem of such men as Zelaya and |
Castro Eventually some sort of order |
will have to be brought out of the |
political and Industrial chaos in South |
and Central America. Wealth. and |
resources of great value are being |
wasted and human beings are made |
TO suffer by reason of the exploita-
tion of these countries by spoilsmen.
The only attitude for the United
States to maintain is the one 1t has
of keeping hands of so far
as the affairs of these countries do
not interfere with the rights of out
side people, and encouraging the
right on all occasions. The powers
that be in Honduras and the other
petty republics understand that the
OF the United States means
an end to their regime.

"An IgnobIe poIitIcaI NIachlne.r y

And now the State Farmers Insti-
tute has degenerated into nothing
but an ignoble political machine.
This thing has been brewing for
months, and everybody with the ca
pacity to think, has been aware that
a noble institution, designed primar-
lily (solely and wholly for the better
direction, elevation and education of
the farmer and his family, was being
desecrated by partisan politics. II
is needless TO say there should be
no political faction in the Farmers
Institute. Factionalism of a political
character will be destructive to its
purpose, which is one OF absolute
beneficence-the power to do all the
good 1t can to the greatest number.
II the creator and sponsor of this
vicious influence Is not checked in
his selfish design, II means simply
the destruction of a splendid move
ment to aid and abet the farming
population.
This whole problem is not to be
downed by sneers. Its overthrow Is
going to require real weapons, mili-
tant methods, the coming together
of the forces OF decency. The en-
servative members of the body poll
tic need to open their eyes to the
extent TO which they have been alb
sorbing political poison of late

The Lobby.

The Kentucky State Journal has
challenged the senate to investigate
the existence of an organized lobby
at Frankfort, and declares that fail
ure to do so will be admission of the
truth of charges that have been made
But the senate seems to be busy dodg-
ing the county unit bill and putting
through Whallen measures to pay
any attention to such challenges.
The Lancaster Record puts II up to
the senate in this way:
Why not a legislative committee
to investigate the lobbyists at Frank
fort? 1t Is not necessary to give al
the spare moments to Senator j. J.
Watkins for limiting about them.
The people of the state know Sen-
ator Watkins pretty well. and be-
lieve him full of enthusiasm for the
temperance cause, with honest pur-
poses and good motives.
The Interior Journal contains this
editorial reference to the Third
House" charges:

ing another, and they deserve all
that Is said of them. The Louisville
