Sharing Plumber.
Walter Barger.

Speaking at Omaha, former
Governor Joseph w. Folk of Mis-
souri, said something that de-
serves a place in every we'll regu-
lated scrapbook. Governor Folk
said:
IF it be said that the protec-
tive system is wrong, but as long
as it is allowed we might as we'll
get share of the plumber for
our own state, the answes is that
sharing in the proceeds of rob-
berry could as we'll be justified by
claiming that since men will rob
we might as we'll profit by this
weakness of mankind. The real
purpose of protection is to stifie
competition, and to that extent
help monopoly. The time has
come to protect the people from
monopoly instead of protecting
monopoly from the people. 1t is
claimed that under the protective
system money is distributed by
dripping down to the people
from the overfiowed pockets of
the protective tariff barons; if
that were true, the people would
simply be getting back a part of
that which was taken from them
unjustly. Whenever a few men
obtain more than they ought to
have through privilege, there
must be some who will have less
than they should have. To say
that when everybody pays too
much tor everything everybody
is benefited is to state an absur-
dity. If the privilege of protec-
ton could be accorded to all
alike, it would in the nature Of
things benefit no one. 1t is be-
cause it gives a few special
privileges at the expense of the
many that these few clamor so
loudly for it, and it is for that
reason the many should not SUBJ
nit to it."

A Slick Scheme.

Down in Christian county a
white man and two negroes have
been arrested for working a slick
and profitable scheme. For the
past several months the stealing
of valuable dogs was almost a.
weekly occurrence and the dis
appearance of the CANNES was a
source of worry to the owner.
When an advertisement appear
ed with the offer of reward the
dogs were invariably returned,
and it was finally noticed that
two negroes happened to find
them all. Suspicion was aroused
and a little detective work dis
closed the fact that the two ne
groes and a white man were en-
gagged in the traffic and had
made neat sum in gathering in
the rewards offered.

May Cause Political UpheayeI.

The Hopkinsville Kentuckian
says the fight for relief from the
robbery of the meat trust, which
started in Cleveland last week, is
spreading to all parts of the coun-
try and the Government itself is
preparing to take a hand by
prosecuting the National Packing
Company composed of Armour,
Swift and Morris. Reports have
been prepared showing the in
crease of rs per cent. in the liv-
ing expenses of the people, de-
creasing the purcha ing power
of a dollar until the much talked
Of sixty cent dollar of 1896 has
become an actual reality of 1910.
Starting with meat and meat
products the prohibitive prices
have been applied to all food
products until many poor people
are suffering for the necessities
of life. The movement, which
is becoming national, is causing
a panic among the Republican
protectors of the robber barons
and they will make an effort to
stop the rising tide of popular
opposition to the iniquities of the
high tariff, that makes such
things possible. Once burn it
into the brains of the people
that the higher the tariff is the
more it cost them to live and
there will be a revolt against
protection that will cause a po-
litical revolution this fall.

New Liquor Law.

On January L, there went into
effect a new criminal code. 1t
puts a crimp in the practice of
shipping liquor C. O. D., into
prohibition territory and cuts off
the source of supply, which has
been regarded as inviolable. ''No
railroad company or carrier"
says the code, "shall ship liquor
in prohibition states to other
than the bona fine conslgnee. !"
Violation of this section is pun
ishable by a fine of S., 900 or two
years imprisonment or both. Not
content with this restriction of
supply, the makers of the code
have set down that every pack
age which does not bear the
name of the person to whom it is
shipped, the kind of liquor which
it contains and the quantity up
on the outside, may be seized
and condemned.

1t is gratifying to learn fror

1t is gratifying to learn from
the forestry authorities at Wash
ington that cutting Christmas
trees is not a menace to the tim
Der lands. 1t is explained that
though 100000 of these trees
are used every year in the United
States they represent a growth
that is not material to the well
being of the forests. In fact, it
is said the thinning out thus as
sured may be beneficial to the re-
naming timber. So a beautiful
custom may continue to be In
dulged in without any ccnscien-
tious scruples.

Making Cement Walks.

Cement walks on farms are be-
coming common in some COM
munities. They are easily made
and are everlasting if made
right. A good many farmers
are doing without them because
of the expense. If the sand is
hauled at odd times and the walk
put down in sections as the time
can be spared, the expense will
not be felt, because the cost of
materials in the country is not
very great, and, then, it is a
satisfaction to have good walks.
If the subsoil is porous and al
lows the water to fall away rap
idly so as to prevent freezing, it
is not necessary to eXcavate for
foundation. as the walk will not
settle. But where the subsoil is
stiff clay, it is better to excavate
from IA to 16 inches and fill to
within four and one-half inches
with cinders or gravel to make a
firm foundation. Two by tours
are used for the sides of the
form, taking great care to level
them.
The medium mixture is one
part Portland cement to two and
One-half parts coarse sand and
five parts crushed rock, well
mixed and thoroughly wetting it
so it will pack we'll. This is
shoveled into within one-half inch
from the top of the forms The
walk is now cut through the con-
crete to the cinders to allow for
expansion and contraction.
The surface coating is COM
posed of one part cement and
two and one-half parts of sand
mixed to the consistency of NOR
tar and spread over the concrete
in forms and Smoothed with a
trowel. Cover the walk to pro-
tect it from the sun and it will
be ready for use in three days,
but will not get its ultimate
strength before thirty days.

In the two years that Gov. Will
son has been in office he has
spent $27, 1881, 80 of the States
money for special judges, the
mileage for whom amounted to
SIS, 632, 80. Instead of appoint
ing men close to hand they are
sent across the State, in some in
stances making their mileage
greater than the per diem of
their term. There ought to be
some way to stop this drain on
the treasusy. When the regular
judge is responsible for the ap-
pointment of a special judge by
reason of being former counsel
in a case, he ought to be requir-
ed to pay the extra cost that such
appointment occasions. In other
words, the State ought not to
pay two salaries when the judge
is disqualified by act of his own.

William GOebeI.

Ten years ago Kentucky
stood shamed before the world
in the death of William Geobel,
shot down by an assassin at the
very steps of the Capitol. In the
era that followed, Kentucky paid
to the full the penalty of passion
and hate. Partyism was exalt-
ed into patriotism and political
lines became lines of battle,
To-day, new Kentucky looks
back with almost incredulous
wonder on those days of travail.
To-day broad questions of the
common good find men of both
parties united in a common pur-
pose to serve the State. Educa-
ton, the reform of prisons, taxa
ton, good roads, the public
health, are questions that find
Democrats and Republicans one.
Kentucky is entering at jast on
her heritage

Infamous!


The Louisville Post, in spite of
it's own hideous record in the
bloody Goebel tragedy Of ten
years ago, has the indecency to
criticise the words of Justus Goe-
bel, himself a dying man, at the
unwilling of the monument to his
brother, William, and the burial
of his brother, Arthur. Nothing
could b e more cold-bloodedly
brazen or insolent.
The Louisville Post, literally
subsidized from the most enor-
nous corruption fund that was
ever raised for use in a political
campaign in Kentucky, printed
more foul SANDERS Of William
Goebel during his life time and
during the years Immediately
succeeding his death than any
other paper in the country. It's
incendiary utterances probably
served as much to incite the as
sasSins of Goebel as the secret
organization among the ignorant
and vicious mountaineers from
whom a man was finally picked
to do the work. And even while
Goebel was dying it printed and
gave recognition to the foul SLAM
der that his friend, Jack Chinn,
while walking at his side, shot
him in the back. For years it
repeated the lie that the 100000
reward fund was being used to
secure perjured testimony against
the men under Indictment for the
assassination, and only yester-
day the commission of honorable
gentlemen to whom this fund
was entrusted reported, after
ten years and after more than a
dozen expensive trials of the men
accused of the murder, that they
had spent only $4,000 of the
money and were ready to turn
back into the treasury 81, 500
they had drawn, but had found
no occasion to use.
But now when the last of the
Goebel brothers, emaciated from
a fatal disease and pitifully weak
in voice, over the graves of his
two dear ones, recites only the
literal truth of the great tragedy
n d properly stigmatizes the
pigmy governor who pardoned
the men indicted and convicted
of his brothers murder, this ever
Infamous sheet undertakes to
criticize him, but dares not dis
pute the truth of his utterances.

Alcatraz. Isl, Feb. 1st. 1910


letter from a soldier from your
dear little town, but as | take
the News and as my people are
near neighbors | think you will
be interested in getting line
from me. | am on one of the
most beautiful Isle. in TIE world,
although it is a military prison.
You can see many wonderful
ships and vessels as they go in
and out of the barber of SanFran-
cisco bay; as the Island is directly
center of the bay and all vessels
must go by the Island.
San Francisco lies about four
mile south of US, and Okland is
Southeast, also Porta Costa,
Berkeley and Alemita lies directly
east and northeast, and the
Naval Station Valleys north of
us, which can be easily discover
ed from the rock, by the rock |
mean Alcatraz; as that is the
name we soldiers call it.
will try and give you some
kind Of an idea of what kind of a
place this is. Alcatraz is the
largest Military prison in the
world. There are about 20 acres
of rock or land as some would
call it that the prison is built on,
1t is nothing more than a huge
rock projecting out of the water,
and it is accessably only from one
side. But Uncle Sam has surely
made it a stronghold which is
seconded only by one place in the
world and that place is Gibralta.
There never was but one prison
er escaped from this place, CAL
catraz) that was ever heard of,
and they found him dead on the
beach. The currant and tide are
so great there that it is impossi-
BILE for a man to swim ashore,
even if he had the chance and no
one wants to try that unless it
be a prisoner, and they never
get the chance.
They are building new prison
here now that will cost the Gov
eminent Zone million dollars, }
81, 900, 900 when it is finished. |
am sending you a Post card of
the Island and you can see the
prison just on top of the rock.
There is a prison wall or stock
ade around it, twelve feet high,
but it doesn't show very much in
the picture. T h e buildings
aronnd the side of the Rock are
quarters for the soldiers.
Mt. Tamalyair which you can
see in the picture is a great Sum-
mer resort, and there is snow on
the top of the Mount the year
around. The Fairy you see in
the picture plays from Oakland
to San Francisco and goes within
200 feet of Alcatraz. No boat or
ship ever touches here unless it
be a Government boat with sup
plies or to take the soldiers
ashore. When men are off duty
here; he can go to the city and
remain "a or AZ hours and then
meet the Government boat that
pays between Alcastraz and
Frisco when he reports to the
Co. Commander for duty. A sold
ier's duty here is guarding pris-
oners with a loaded rife, and he
must not allow them to escape or
he will surely get in serious
trouble.
