Democratic Responsibility.

AeeS S~>>~@SSe s~SeS 30 - -
lucky won a great victory at the
polls last week; it now faces a
great responsibility. The victory
was given by the people to the
party chiefly on account of the
promises made in its platform,
looking to the future welfare of
the State. If the State issues,
which were so specifically set
forward in the platform, had not
been adopted and made part of
the Democratic faith there would
have been party defeat, instead
of party victory. With this fact,
unquestionably in the minds of
the people, a great responsibility
rest upon the party to redeem
it's pledges. In the campaign
the Democratic newspapers and
the Democratic speakers dwelt
upon the insincerity of Judge
Edward O'Rear, the Republican
candidate for Governor, and upon
the failure of Governor Augustus
E. Wilson and President Taft to
carry out the pledges they had
made to the people. These issues
above everything else brought to
the support of the Democratic
ticket thousands of voters and
scored the signal triumph at the
polls of November the 7th. The
people turned against the Re-
publicans because they did not
believe in their sincerity and be-
cause they had betrayed the peo-
pie by violating their promises
and their platform pledges. The
Democratic party in Kentucky
cannot afford to be guilty of the
very things for which it so
severely arraigned the Republi-
cans. The responsibility of car
rying out fully the platform
pledges, not only rests upon
every Democrat elected on the
State ticket, but upon every
member of the Legislature as
we'll. Whatever may be the in
dividual opinion of any member
of the Legislature upon any
plank in the platform which is at
variance with that platform, it
should be surrendered to the dec
laration of party faith. 1t would
be an act of party disloyalty for
any Democratic member of the
Legislature to oppose either d.
rectly or indirectly the bills in
troduced in conformity with the
various planks in the platform.
AS men have surrendered their
individual choice of candidates
for office to accept the party
choice, it is just as incumbent
upon them to surrender individ-
ual opinions upon issues and &C.
cept the party's announcement
as a binding obligation. If a
man refuses to vote and support
the candidate OF his party, be-
cause he preferred some other
man as the candidate, he is re-
garded as a disloyal party man.
If he sets up his individual
opinion or even the opinion of a
majority of the people in his own
county, against the accepted will
of the majority of the party, as
laid down in its platform, he is
equally disloyal.
We trust and believe that the
Democrats will meet the respon-
sibilities, conferred upon them

LI5ERTE EXPLOSION
WAS TERRIFIC IN FORCE
Thirty Seven Ton Piate Was Thrown
Aboard RepubIique.

Toulon, France, Sept. 27.-The tre-
mendous force of the explosion which
destroyed the battleship Liberte on
Monday was again indicated today
when a piece Of the Liberties armor
plate was lifted from the side of the
battleship Republique, on which it had
fallen.
The broken plate weighed Thirty
seven tons. The Republique was so
badly damaged that she will be out
of commission for months, while re-
pairs are being made.
& Twelve bodies were taken from the
wreck this morning. The search above
the water line is difficult owing to
barriers Of crumpled steel that oppose
all advances into sections Of the holds
Nothing was discovered leading TO
belief that other living men were
imprisoned in the wreckage, although
this remains possibility.
The roll Of the dead was increased
by a half dozen deaths during The
night.

New York, Sept. 27.-Hunt for a lit.
tie blonde stenographer became the
feature event today in the case of
AIRED Flagg, frantic financier," and
his friends, who are accused of hav-
ing used the mails to defraud.
The quarry in the girl hunt in
Miss Russo, who is said to know much
of Flagg's business that the grand
jury wants to learn Today the post
office inspectors received word that
Miss Russo would surrender herself.
Meanwhile, federal officials have been
building up their case through the
examination of other young women
employed by the bankers and of Gus
toners who were frequent guests at
the luncheons de luxe given by the
Flagg firm every Saturday.
Through her sister, Miss Russo
has declared that she was an intimate
acquaintance of her employers busi-
ness methods 'Mr. Flag" she said,
never closed transaction without
handsome profit to the investor. His
method was simple one known
the Pettibone progressive system.
This scheme is merely to place a sub
stantial cash margin on a small lot of
stock, SO as to cover any possible fuc-
tuation. One is bound to win in this
way if he is content to wait until it
goes up. The only reason that the out
side investor loses money on mar
gined deals is that he goes into the
game with insufficient funds, or else
loses his courage"
The authorities have been baffled to
a large extent in the preparation of
their case by the unwillingness of
Flagg's investors to give evidence
against him.

LEAP FROM HARLEM BRIDGE
FAILS TO BRING OBLIVION
Disheartened Harness Maker Rescued
by Auto Driver.

New York, Sept. 27.--When a large
touring car containing two men and
four women, was crossing one of the
Harlem river bridges early this morn
ing, its occupants saw a man climb
upon the rail of the bridge and spring
out into the water.
The chauffeur brought the car to a
stop with a jolt and one of the men,
Albert Lind, leaped out and clambered
hand over hand down the stone work
in the center pier to the surface of the
water. On shelf at the foot of the
pier he found a long boat hook and a
couple of planks. With the planks to
support him, he dropped into the wa
ter, boat hook in hand, and after pad
ding short distance caught the
would-be suicide on the prong of the
hook
There was a five-minute struggle
before the man was subdued and fin
ally dragged to the foot of the pier
where policemen took him in charge
He said he was Frank Kurt, Sw'-
harness maker, respondent from ina
bility to obtain work.

FOREST PRESERVATION
DISCUSSED BY EXPERTS
Noted Authorities Attend Kansas City
Meeting.

Kansas City, Sept. 27-Preseryation
of the forests of the United States
was the topic discussed at a "fores-
try" meeting held here last night,
Representative of all commissions,
nearly every lumber interest in the
country. and a number of instructors
in forestry from state universities
were present.
H. S. Graves, chief of the federal
forestry bureau, declared adequate
fire protection and an equitable system
of forest taxation would do more than
any other thing to conserve the for
ests of the United States.
''The lack of these two things at
present" declared Mr.. Graves, pre-
vents permanent ownership of forests,
The responsibility for forest eonser-
walton must be taken largely by the
states, rather than the United States.
The public owns only one-fifth of the
standing timber in the country. The
rest is owned by individuals and lum-
ber companies who are not interested
in replanting. The state, therefore,
must take care of four-ffths of the
forests, that proportion being beyond
federal control.

fore Stating Just What VIII Be

That the litigation between the St,

given out, he says.
II is stated that additional counsel
has been employed by those fighting
TO hold the Wallace wharf and the
case viii be as hard fought in the fu-

OF course a great deal depends upon
the, exact wording Of the supreme

be done, but from present indications
the fight has not been ended by any
means.

CHANGES MAY BE MADE
IN NEW SHIPS
Navy Department Profits by Recent
Target Practice.

Washington, Sept. 27.-As a result
of lessons learned from the recent
target practice at long ranges and the
firing at the old San Marcos by the
battleship Delaware, it is said that the
navy department is considering
changes of the utmost importance and
probably will put them into erect in
the construction of the next two
dreadnoughts. The changes on the new
sea fighters may provide for an i'm
proved system of fire control and one
military skeleton mast instead of the
two.

during battle, it is said the tangled
wreckage would be so strewn about

necessary apparatus might be handi-

The new plans also contemplate two
heavily armored fire control stations,
placed low down fore and aft and
fashioned after the late models 81

resorted to after the skeleton mast

MOB LYNcHEs WHITE
FATHER OF MULATToES
Lynchlne Follows Battle, in Which
Sheriff, Deputy and TWO Boys
are Killed


Dumas, Ark. Sept. 27-Forcing their
way into the Desha county Jail here,
between fifty and one hundred men,
members of mob, formed so quietly
that the authorities had not the slight
est warning, overpowered the depu-
ties in charge and took Charles NAL
pass, Sr., white, to water tank and
hanged him today. The mob then dis
persed without demonstration. None
of it's members is known to the au-
thorities, according to their state
ment.
The lynching followed pitched bat
tie late yesterday at the home of Mall
pass, in which Sheriff w. d. Preston
of this county, Deputy Sheriff Bar
ney Stiel and two mulatto sons Of
Malpass were killed and Malpass was
wounded. ~
Malpass's injuries were at first be-
lieved to be mortal, but when he was
brought here and placed in jail they
were found not to be serious, The
wife Of Charles Malpass, Sr., me-
gress, and Malpass's younger son., a
mulatto, escaped from the house DUR
ing the fighting. The authorities say
they do not think the negress and the
boy engaged in the battle yesterday,
and for this reason it is not thought
the two will be sought further.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 27.-The trial
of the so-called state dispensary
graft cases, involving the purchase
in 1905 Of $4,000 worth of labels, was
marked today by frequent passages
between opposing attorneys as to the
admission Of documentary evidence.
The principal witness for the pros
ecution this morning was State Sem
ator Christensen Of Beaufort, who
was a member of the legislative COM
mittee appointed in 1906 to investigate
the state dispensary and who, with
Attorney General Lyons, then meI
Der of the house of representatives,
constituted the subcommittee which
dug up much of the evidence regard
ing the conduct of the state dspen-
sary. Mr.. Christensen today identi-
fed vouchers found az thai time in
the dispensary's rec),d and also put
in evidence certain of the ,aDels
themselves.
Bids Differed Widely.
AS a member of the investigating
committee he had obtained from other
houses bids on similar labels, in or
der to ascertain whether the Irices
paid Nivyisson- Weiskopf were extor-
tatiye. Much lower bids We're oh

on the dispensary board; w. D. Ia
tum of Orangeburg, formerly dispen-
sary commissioner and before that Il

the same charge has been mol pressed
The indictment against Dennis Weis-
kopf of Cincinnati, also for conspir-
acy to defraud the state, win likely be
