Democrats Firm for Statehood

The following from the Florence
Blade we think correctly tells the
position of democrats toward the
statehood bill:
Senator Beveridge imagined he
had loaded his enabling act with a
sufficient number of outrageous
provisions to provoke the demo-
cratic senators into voting against
it as a unit and thus accomplish the
defeat of statehood for the Terri
tories without fixing the response
bility therefor on the republican
majority. But he has suddenly dis
covered that those senators will vote
es q unit -for-the bill, even though
they look upon it as the most in
famous measure ever conceived by
a bigoted and narrow political parti-
san. They are moved to this course
by the knowledge that the citizens
of the Territories prefer statehood,
even under the humiliating and un-
precedented terms and conditions of
the Beveridge bill, to our present
form of government, which is gov
ernment without responsibility to
the people governed. Finding that
the democratic senators are pre-
pared to swallow the nauseating
dose he prepared for them the little
Indiana senator is now preparing to
add another section to the bill, en-
franchising all the Indians living
within the limits of the Territories,
in the hope that it will cause the
democrats to reject the measure.
But this scheme will also fail as
there is far less objection to the en-
franchisement of the Indians than
there is to the REIMBURSEMENT of
the illiterate. vicious and purchase
able element excluded from the bal
lot box by our educational qualifica-
ton. The dominating class among
the Indians has been educated in
English and is possessed not only
of a high order of intelligence, but
has had sufficient experience with
republican government officials to
to take advantage of their first op-
portunity to turn the rascals out
They will vote the democratic ticket
and the democratic senators are
probably aware of this fact. Mr..
Beveridge is simply wasting time
in trying to pull his chestnuts out
of the fire. They will make an hon.
est effort to eliminate the objection
able features Of the bill, but, fail
ing in this, will vote solidly for its
passage in any form and trust the
outraged citizens of the new States
to right the wrongs inflicted upon
them by the Beveridge-Dillingh
crowd and the national administra-
tion."

"The Best Ever"

Andrew Carnegie has given to the
newspapers an interview in which
he declares that the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law is the best ever placed
upon the statute books. Of course
it is the best ever" for Mr.. Carne-
gle as we'll as for other tariff barons
who provide the republican party
with its campaign funds.
A certain republican editorial ex-
plains to those who are in the dark
on this subject just why Mr.. Carne-
gle is so deeply in love with the
present republican tariff law. In
it's issue Of May 18, 1902, the Chica-
go Tribune, republican, had an un-
usually interesting editorial entitled
The Arrogance of Wealth" The
Tribune was considerably disturbed
because Andrew Carnegie had offer
ed to pay 500, 900, 900 for the Philip
pine Islands, provided only that he
was permitted to assure the Flipinos
that they would be given their in
dependence. The Tribune saio that
the steel magnate has tried the
patience of his friends severely in
some of his late bids for notoriety;"
that he is constantly posing, and has
scattered libraries broadly through
out the country, all of which are to
be called for him, and every one of
them is a contribution to the con-
science fund.-" Then the Tribune
explained:
Mr.. Carnegie made his money
in a magnificent way, but he should
never forget that he made it
through the undue favoritism of the
government of the United States.
Owing to the discrimination practic-
ed in his favor by the tariff, he
was enabled to amass fortune of
two hundred millions of dollars or
more, most of which came out of
the pockets of his countrymen
through the operation of unequal
laws. Much has been said of the
benefit arising to the workingmen
from the establishment of the Car
negie works. The beneficent tariff
system permitted the works to sur
vive and flourish, but there are
some people who have not forgotten
the Homestead strike, nor the out
rageous manner in which the work
ingmen were treated at that time
by employers whose brutality has
seldom been exceeded in the history
of labor agitations."

QUESTION
The Conservation of Forests
and Natural Resources an
Important Issue

The majority report in favor of
the Weeks national forest bill,
among other things, says: Years
ago the original states of the east
obtained by purchase and cession a
great national domain west of the
Mississippi. Out of this domain
many of the states of the west were
carved and endowed with all of the
rights of the original thirteen. To
their development the older states
contributed by liberal legislation. in
vestments, and by the initiation of
great national improvement enter
prises for which the whole country,
not the new states alone, contribut-
ed the funds. Finally, for the good
of the whole, for the protection and
welfare of the future of this west
ern country, the nation took out of
the market millions of acres of its
lands, gave up its expectation of
returns to the amount of over
$400, 100000, in which all would
have shared, in order that beneficent
forests might be maintained in per-
petuity in the western mountains,
that a supply of timber might be
assured for all time to the people
of these states, and that the neces-
sary flow of their streams might be
maintained. -
In the meanwhile, the crowding
of civilization, the insistent demands
of the market, the wasteful manner
Of handling and the ravages of fire
had been devasting the southern
and eastern mountains, which had
passed in private ownership long
before it was realized that there
could ever come a time when the
necessity of conserving the natural
resources of this rich country would
become an issue of supreme import
ance alike to the present and the
future. Not only was the timber
supply threatened with exhaustion,
but the flow of numerous rivers,
whose water-powers furnish so much
of wealth and employment, was in
jeopardy, and, through erosion,
sitting, and irregular flow, the navi-
gability of many of them was en-
dangered. The plea of people of
the northeast and southeast for re-
lief was brought to Congress more
than a decade ago, and is now be-
fore Congress in this bill.
Along with the national irrigation
work of the west, the hundred and
ninety odd million ofacres of nation
al forests in that same section, the
gift to the world of the Panama
Canal, these people of the south and
east appeal for the expenditure
more properly investment-of a
few million dollars conservatively
applied to initiate in their mountains
a conservation enterprise which is
in line with the past policy of the
nation in other directions, and of
every first-class power in the world.
1t is a movement which the states
themselves are unable to initiate.
They have neither the power nor
the resources, nor is it duty which
they alone can be asked to assume.
Every state of every section will
benefit by the conserving Of the
timber supply, water powers and
navigable streams of our southern
and eastern mountains. 1t is a ma
tional duty which neither in equity
nor wisdom this Congress can longer
shirk. American Forestry.

HOGS WAY DOWN:-A big tumble
has taken place in the price of hogs
and all over the country the drop has
been from 81 to So. Hog dealers are
bCping however, that the present
price can be main, aimed.
LEGISLATURES CLEARED:-The
grand jury which has been sitting at
Frankfort has reported that 1t found
no evidence of bribery and that it
believed that the last Legislature
was perfectly honest. If an unperju-
diced man should investigate that
grand jury, he might report that he
failed to find any evidence of brains,
and believes the members were perfect
idiots. And yet he would probably be
mistaken. The writer remembers two
such grand jury Investigations in New
York, with the same results. And now
the truth has come out and New
York knows that the grand juries
were wrong.
LEXINGTON TOO:-The Court of
Appeals has reversed the finding of
Judge Parker, who ousted the Off
GERS of Lexington for fraud at their
election two years ago. The Court
holds that there was not enough evil
dence of fraud to justify a belief
that any different result would have
been reached if the election had been
honest. 1t seems to the humble out
slider that the men who put up the
money for a corrupt election must
have thought they were in danger,
TO- few men spend money for no
thing. But then judges can't take
things like that into cosideration.
COAL COMPANY LOSES:-A judge
ment for $4,000 was handed down
last week in Mt. Vernon in the case
of the John II. Jones, trustee, against
the Big Hill Coal Co. The judgement
embraces sixty-three tracts of land,
which will be sold at Mt. Vernon to
satisfy it.
KILLS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Isom,
eleven years old, shot and Killed his
playmate, Little Fields, near Whites
burg, on Saturday. He was playing

ARGUE HOLLAND LAW:-Argu-
men,s on the validity of the Holland
law were made before Judge Miller
in Louisville Tuesday. This is the
law which seeks to prevent the es-
adjustment of the Lincoln Institute
in Shelby County. The points made
against the law are:-That the Legis-
lature cannot make any laws to take
effect on the approval of any one
else unless specifically allowed TO do
SC by the Constitution; that 1t is
unlawful TO give any set of persons
the power to prevent any one else
from using his property for lawful
purpose and that the Legislature can
not give any one else the power to
prevent the carrying on of a business
unless it has the power to forbid
the carrying on of that business.

Washington. April, 1910.-In a CEN
sus Of the world recently published by
the government statistical bureau at
Stuttgart. DR.. Zellcr. the director. who
Is one OF the most eminent of -sfa-
tisticians, estimated that the popula-
ton of tho world Is l,544,510O00 of
whom 534.94O.OO0 are Christians, 3O0,-
100000 are Confuc.ans. 214,0OO,0OO are
Brahmins, 175,290,OOO are Mohamme
dams, 12l 100000 are BuddAiss, TO-
100000 are Jews and the remainder
belong TO o.her religious denomina-
lions or anu pagans.
These figures have created Some sur
prise. particularly with reference TO
the Buddhists and tie Mohammedans.
The authorities usually credi, the
Buddhis;s with the great majority Of
the inhabitants OF China, and do not
accept COnfucianism as a religion, but
consider II mel ely moral philosophy.
There Is no contradiction between
Buddhism and Confucianism, any
more than there Is between Shinto-
ism and Buddhism in Japan; and the
Staiesmen's Year Book which is con-
sideIed high authority. says: "Proba-
bly, all Chinese, not Mohammedans
or Christians. profess and practice all
3 religions, Taoism, which is demon
worship; Confucianism, which is phil
osophy. and Buddhism" The Safes
mans Year Book also gives the
Buddhists nearly all the 100000 of
the population Of Japan and the en-
tire population Of Siam and Burnam.
Although there are $4,000 900 Moham-
medians in India. S0,OOO.O0O in China
$4,000, 900 in Turkey and an equal num-
Der in Africa, DR. Zeller credits that
faith with only l75,O0O,OOO. It would
be easier TO understand these figures
II we knew how he reaches his con-
illusions.
For the United States he accepts
the figures of the census of 1908,
which show hiatt there are 34,2S2,543
church members in the United States,
an increase of 1864 1886 since the
census Of 1890 The number of min
listers in the United States in 1890
was 111,O36. Now II is 165,725, an
increase of 1851 or more than 40
per cent within the eighteen years.
There are now 213,049 houses of wor-
ship, an increase of 70,416. or a little
more than 40 per cent. Therefore the
me- gain of the several denominations
in the United States in eighteen years
has been &C per cent in the number of
ministers and houses of worship.
This does not seem 10 justify the
statement so frequently made that
the United States is losing its reli-
gion More than one-third Of the en-
tire population is enrolled upon the
books as communicates of the var
ious religious denominations, and
