citizens. We do not believe they can
stomach the wholesale voting OF
dogs, cats and dead men and un-
born babes"
All this is a reiteration Of the
charges made at the time concerning
Bailey's mill, Franklin county, and
Elsewhere, in the Beckham-Mc-
Creary primary.
Now we have no less authority
than Col. Jim Lemon, OF the Mayfield
Messenger, that the party doesn't
want a Music Hall convention, either.
Consequently, while we insist that ii
doesn't make much difference what
the great unpurchaseable Demo
eratic vote Of Kentucky" wants. il is
what they get that makes them DEM
|ocrats; we must conclude that the
last Democratic primary, conducted
by one ring of politicians now strug-
Cling for control of the state COM
mittee. was rotten, and that the last
convention, conducted by the other
ring of Democratic politicians also
now struggling for control OF the
committee was rotten. So whether
either side wins at the committee
meeting Friday, what difference
does It make? lent the record OF
both factions rotten and their inten-
|tions foul?
Kentucky must follow Tennessee.

GREAT POSTMASTER GEN

4
ERAL.
1t sounds like business to read
the words of the postmaster gen.
eral, Frank II. Hitchcock, that he
reduced the postal deficit eleven and
half millions in year by elimi-
mating waste and increasing eff
cheney, at the same time adding
l 500 new postoffices, 515 new de-
livery routes and $500 new en-
ployes, with salaries amounting to
81, 100000, and adding $250,0OO to
the payroll of railway mail clerks;
100000 to the salaries of clerks
and S1,226,O0O to the salaries of
letter carriers. The postoffice is
conducted as a great business enter
prise. Waste is eliminated by keep
ing account of every ounce carried
and handled and the time in which
it is done; efficiency is acquired by
a system of dement's for infraction
of strict rules. The recommended
lions of the postmaster general
speak for themselves to the people,
who read his report published to-
day, and they need no advocates;
but the wonderful work done by Mr..
Hitchcock in the department de-
serves commentator. Attention to
details. completeness of organization
and grasp of essentials place Mr..
Hitchcock high among the very few
really great postmaster generals.

We're Too Happy to Feel Offended

The Courier-Journal has studied
carefully to find in what 1t has
offended its esteemed contemporary
of Paducah. But we give 1t up. II
is an insoluble mystery why any
body should imagine that there is
on the part of Louisville or the
Courier-Journal anything but the
best of feeling for Paducah and that
region of Kentucky; anything but
pride in the showing of that section
in the census; or anything but re-
greet that Louisville and every other
part of the state did not make as
good a showing.-courier-Journal.

"wHEN THIEVES FALL OUT


"WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT"
On the eve of the Democratic
state central committee meeting,
when the party managers are to
choose for the people their manner
of naming candidate for governor.
we find the press bureau of J. B. Nc
Creary villifying Ben Johnson's
personal character, and Johnson
press bureau making similar accus-
atoms against McCreary; while the
press of one faction declares the
johnson crowd is trying to foist on
the party another Music Hall con-
vention. such as led up to the Goe-
bel tragedy, and the johnson fac
ton is equally as emphatic in its
declaration that the McCreary crowd,
having learned something from the
primary in which he was defeated
for senator, hopes to put over the
same kind OF fraud for him.
Where will the Democratic voter
turn for honest leaders? when
thieves fall OUT, runs the old adage,
''honest men get their dues; and
when politicians fall out, let us add,
the rest of hear considerable hither-
to unpublished inside history.
But that's all the good II does us.
The present dispute among the poll
ticians clearly demonstrates three
facts for the benefit of the people of
Kentucky:
that the voters of the party
have no more voice in their choice
OF candidates and methods Of choos-
ing than they had before the revo-
luton that put the Republicans in
office; and the same familiar breed
of politicians are quarreling among
themselves for the spoils of the party;
that the Democratic party in Ken
lucky is poverty stricken for politl-
cal material, as evidenced by the
character OF its congressional repre-
sentation, and the fact that only
time-serving politicians are consid-
cred as nominees for state offices;
that no fair nomination has been
conducted by the party in the last
twelve years. This is proven out of
the mouths of the contesting poll
ticians and the press, which repre-
sents them. Whether II has been a
convention or a primary, one set OF
politicians or the other has by fraud
secured control of the organization
and the count of votes. and thus
foisted itself on the dominant party
of the state. And to this may be
added indications that the nomina-
ton this year will be no fairer: for
one side says the other will steal the
convention. and the other side SAYS
the first will buy the primary. The
only question to be decided by the
state central committee. according to
the charges OF the politicians them
selves Is whether the one shall steal
the convention or the other buy the
primary. and that question will be
decided by the preponderance OF in
fuence on the committee. This re-
duces public interest to only one
thing, what sort OF influence will be
most effective with the committee
men?
Saturday morning the local organ.
which represents the faction that
wants a convention. said:
eve do not believe the great un-
purchaseable vote OF the state will
