POLITICAL NOTES

Proof of Judge o. Rear's inconsis'
ter cy and insincerity is being fur
nished in heaping measure as the
Campaign proceeds. 1t is easy to
take up every position he has asum'
ed. and show by the record that his
private views and acts are at vari-
ance with his public protestations,
The very last evidence against him
on this score is in the matter Of free
passes. and has been produced by the
Lexington Herald. In special &C.
cepting the Republican nomination,
he referred to the Constitutional
provision against the use Of free
passes by public officials and he
pledged himself. if elected Governor,
to see that law was placed upon the
Statute book enforcing that section.
Since dissemination, he has frequent.
ly condemned the railroads for issuing
such passes, and public men for &C.
cepting than, and has pointed to it as
a fruitful source of corruption.
On the very day that Judge O'Rear
arose in the State Convention and
condemned the use of free passes,
his family rode from Frankfort to
Louisville on passes issued by a rail-
road and it is fair to presume that
they could not, and would not have
accepted these fsvors from the rail-
road without the knowledge and con-
sent of Judge O'Rear.
II is just as culpable for the fami-
iy Of the Judge Of the Court Of APP
peals to ride on free passes as it
would be for that official himself to
receive such favors. and il violates
the spirit if not the letter of the
Constitution when he permits them
TO put him in that embarrassing posi-
ton. n.
This charge was openly made by
the Lexington Herald. and il has
bern disseminated by others. So
far Judge 0'Rear has not made any
exP,nation of how it happened that
b, rhd be so bitterly opposed to
II rairoads giving free passes to
puh lie fhcials when his own family
pr f ; by the practice.

when terrific explosion occurred In
one OF the rooms where powder was
stored. The bride and bridegroom
and guests all persisted. some OF them
being terribly mutilated.

on Monday, Judge 0'Rear con-
demned the railroads. because, as he
charged, they have for msny years
secured control of the Legislative
Committees. II this is true. it is
most reprehensible. and calls for the
severest condemnation; but so long
as Judge O'Rear's family continues
to be the guest Of the railroads in
their journeyings about the State,
his criticism will be received with
suspicion and with doubt as to his
and sincerity.

She Knew What TO Do.

A North side matron. directing an
electric coupe for the first time, ven
tured far out on the South side and
punctured tire. She drove home on
the rim and came in for a scientific
treatise on tires from her husband.
Never drive the electric with a
busted tire" said he. 1T will ruin
the tire, and tires cost money"
Another puncture followed a few
days later. but this time she was not
far from home.
Also this time she did not drive the
rest OF the way.
She sat In her chariot and six boys
pushed her home.-Chicago Post.

Amendment to Veto Bill Excluding

London, April 25.-The house OF
commons sat late in it's discussion of
the second clause of the parliament
bill, which relates to the curtailment
of the powers Of the house of lords,
and rejected numerous amendments
seeking to exclude all sorts of meas
ures from the operation of the bill.
The anti-home rule amendment, pro-
posing to exclude amy bill to estab-
Ilsh separate parliament and execu-
tive for Ireland" which was moved
by John B. Lonsdale, unionist mem
Der for MidArmagh, was defeated by
vote of 284 to 100.
Lonsdale said he desired to see the
question of home rule removed alto
gether from the region of the contro-
yersy over the reform Of the house of
lords. The government was at the
mercy of the Nationalist, whose OBJ
ject was to smash the constitution, he
said, in order to dismember the en-

independence

the Laborites were whole-heartedly in
favor of the revolution demanded for
Ireland, and believed that the project

States has been made possible by the
promise Of home rule for Ireland"

understand that the cabinet under

them to power with the full knowledge
that they would give Ireland a meas

that home rule for Ireland was an is

suggestion that there was any trickery

EXCITING Ride,

A perilous midnight ride was the
terrifying experience that recently be-
fell two young men, Morgan Walters
and John Cole, of Swansea Valley,
Wales. They lay down in truck to
rest, when by some means the brake
was released, and the truck com
menced to run down a sharp gradient
at terrific pace. For a mile and a
half all went well. Then the vehicle
came to a level crossing, dashed
through the two gates, smashing them
into matchWood, and pursued it's per
ilous course towards the junction with
the Swansea Midland line. Just before
reaching this spot, however, it was
turned into a disused siding by safety
points, and smashed it's way clean
through a stone wall IS inches thick.
The stunned passengers escaped with
few bruises.

"Mocha" Coffee.

All the coffee that first came to Eu-
rope, about 1862, was from Arabia
Felix; but, not since the last century
has the real bean been grown in the
wadies or on the hills around Mocha.
Nevertheless, dealers, whether their
wares be cigarettes, oysters or coffee
take advantage of the magic in name
made famous in commercial history.
Importers know the Midas-like quality
of a label. So every year coffee fleets
from Brazil sail over the ocean to the
land of Mocha and at Alden, where
Mahometan priests first served it to
green turbaned Hadjis on their way
to Mecca, this South American coffee
is reshipped to other parts of the
world as Mocha"

Washington.-Rep Kerb-

an apology from the naval academy
authorities as sufficient amends
for the alleged snubbing of Miss
Mary Beers at a dance given in
the academy recently. He addressed
a letter to Secretary of the Navy
Meyer demanding full particulars of
the incident and declaring that if they
were not forthcoming he proposes to
urge a congressional investigation Of
the matter. Miss Beers is said to
have been "snubbed" because she is
employed as governess in the house

RECIPROCITY BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Canadian Tariff Agreement Is
Enacted 264 to SO.
PARTY LINES ARE DIVIDED
Ten Democrats and 70 Republicans
Vote Against the Measure-Taft
Makes Personal Appeal for
Its Adoption.

Wash1ngton.-By the decisive vote
Of 264 to SO the house Of representa-
tives passed the Canadian reciprocity
| tariff measure, marking the close of q
six-days' fight.
| Ten of the opposing votes were cast
by the Democrats and the other 70
| by Republicans. A majority of the
| Republicans In the house voted
against the measure, and the fears of
| President Taft were realized, namely,
that the reciprocity measure would go
| through by Democratic votes alone.
At the last minute the president sum-
moned group Of Republican oppo-
nents Of reciprocity to the White
| House and made a personal appeal to
them, but without avail.
! The bill now goes to the senate,
where strenuous efforts are to be
made, through amendments and other
wise, to defeat it. Announcements
that such was the plan of opposing
senators were made during the fight
| In the house.
Most startling in their nature were
the explanations given by Chairman
| Underwood Of the ways and means
committee, of plans that had been
adopted by great trusts, monopolies
and interests to defeat the reciprocity
bill. That fight Is still on and will
have to be met in the senate.
| Mr.. Underwood, in his closing ad-
dress, charged that the American Pro
tective Tariff league, the steel and
lumber trusts had waged a systematic
campaign against the bill, which in
| cluded the sending Of misleading tele
grams to members of the house and
the closing down of steel mills, throw
ing thousands of workmen out of en-
| ployment, to influence congressman
and senators.
Mccall of Massachusetts also de-
| Tended the bill in a lengthy address,
and Dalzell made the final attack upon
| it. Then came a flood of amendments,
! fifty or more, all aimed against the
meat, lumber and print paper SEIZED
ules Of the pact. Spirited debate fol-
lowed on each amendment, but all
were voted down.
The record vote came on final pass
age of the bill, nearly everyone insist
ing on it. Ten Democrats voted
against the tariff pact and 70 Repub-
,licans. This was a majority Of the
Republicans voting. Among the OPP
ponents of the bill were nearly all the
progressive Republicans of the house.
The reciprocity bill seeks to put
into effect the formal agreement
reached between President Taft and
members Of the Canadian cabinet for
reduction of tariff rates on many
articles and free trade in many others
across the Canadian border. Added
to it by the Democratic leaders is a
section which "authorizes and re-
quests" President Taft to make fur
Their efforts to secure still freer trade
relations with Canada in the form Of
additional reciprocal relations.
