Harlan Papers Consolidate

1larian PaperS consolidate
Over at Harlan in Shelby
county, there have been for a
number of years three news
papers. Two weeks ago a
man with some sense bought
out one, the American, and be.
fore his first issue was in the
hands of all his readers he sold
the plant to the other two
papers, jointly. The business
men were called upon and
signed agreements that they
would support the two remain
ing papers, democratic and re
publican, and that they would
not encourage a third paper to
start there. The plant Of the
American is offered for sale,
conditioned on its removal from
the town of Harlan. This con-
solidation will give Harlan two
good newspapers and allow
each Of them under business
management to make some
money. The tendency all over
the country seems to be to-

The announcement that Aldrich of

Roosevelt a. dictator.

Henry Watterson, editor Of the
Louisville Courier-J ournal,i in a lengthy
editorial, among other things of like
tenor, says: History has agreed that
the best of all government is wise
and benevolent despotism. II the gov
eminent of the United States, under
our written constitution of checks and
balances, be failure-as many think
it-and if there be needed for It's exec
utive head strong man having the
courage to take all the bulls of corrup.
ton by the horns, and, regardless of
obsolete legal restraints. to shake the
life out of them, then, indeed, STheo.
dore Roosevelt would seem one fitted
by temperament, education and train.
ing for the work."
We hasten to assure the Louisville
editor that there is not the slightest
chance that Americans will accent
Theodore Roosevelt or any other hu.
man being as dictator-a benevolent
despot!

dred and thirty-fiye years ago, hand

full Of American farmers settled that

full of American farmers settled that
question on the village green at Lex
ington. There, in resistance to des-
potism benevolent or otherwise), they
fired the shot heard round >the
world" That volley was indeed a
world event 1t has been travelling
around the earth ever since, awaken
ing other salvos of liberty until all
mankind has caught, or are catching,
its spirit. The world of to-day has no
more idea of returning to despotism
of any hue or flavor than it has of
going back to the terrors of witch
craft or the superstitious fury Of the
crusades!
If the Tory sentiment now cropping
out in many unexpected places should
eventually become dominant idea in
the United States, inipelling the peo-
pie to repudiate the ideas of the faith
ers and go hunting for a master, it is
not likely that they would select Roose-
welt for the position.
Colonel Roosevelt has no character
istics which would place him in the
category of benevolent despots. He has
earned no reputation for "the courage
to take all the bulls of corruption by
the horns"
On the contrary, Theodore Roosevelt
was in the Presidents chair seven
years, and yet precisely during those
seven years the predatory trusts made
their most pronounced advances. If
not aggressive, he was at least always
demonstrative and had enormous in
fluence with his party. Yet, somehow
his party, during his administration
in and out of Congress, gave the Big
Interests such service as was never
given beforei
No President ever made so many
changes in his cabinet; yet, strangely
enough, in not one instance did he
select any person with a record for
anti-monopoly reform. On the contrary,
the most distinguished friends, agents
and attorneys of the bulls of corrup-
ton" were invited ITO become Roose-
velt's' official advisers. John Hay,
Elihu Root, Philander G. Knox, Will
lam H. Moody, Paul Morton, Henry C.
Payne, Charles j. Bonaparte, Lyman j.
Gage, c. B. Cortelyou were all eminent
as the loyal friends of the trusts,
and they were the lieutenants and
cabinet confidants of President Roose-
welt.
Some way, notwithstanding Roose-
velt's courage and disposition to seize
the horns Of the bulls of corruption"
he did not seem to provoke any strong
antagonisms among them. Morgan was
and is his devoted friend, and Dear
Hartman" was accorded liberty sell
dom, if ever, granted an unofficial citi-
zen-the privilege of bluepenciling the
message of President!
Under his administration the North.
ern Pacific merger case evaporated
into nothingness; the dressed beef
combine was eased off with mere in
junction which would not take effect;
the Santa Fe rebate cases went to the
dump, the President himself giving
Paul Morton, the chief railroad official,
certificate Of innocency; and, as a
climax to 1t all, in the midst of the
last financial panic, Roosevelt, by di.
rect and expressed interference, gave

Mr.. Ravens victory is due to the
desire of Rochester workingmen to
repudiate the tariff and rebuke
the insolent bossism under which Mon
roe county has suffered for years. It
marks the downfall of Aldridge and
the disruption of the Republican or.
ganization he has controlled.

Aldrich-Taft trickery, and for decent
Democracy instead OF grating Repub-
lican bossism.
Massachusetts has spoken. The Re-
publican stronghold of New York has
spoken. The thunder of their protest
against tariff iniquity rolls out across
the West, where the whole populace
cries out in indignation.
Hale and Aldrich have read Alright
the signs of storm. Others of their
gilded circle will also hear and heed,
fleeing from the wrath to come.
No man who voted for the Aldrioh-
Taft tariff can honestly claim to be
sure Of reelection. The Rochester
vote shows how the public is aroused,
and indicates what may be expected
by every Congressman who betrayed
the people into the hands of the tariff
barons at the behest of Aldrich.
