Patrons Will Decide Whether
Office Shall Be Closed
On Sunday.
in KENrUCKIAN OFFICE
Located Conveniently For
Preparing And Deposit
ing Ballots.

Balloting on whether or not the
postoffice shall be closed on Sundays
was begun yesterday at all of the
drug stores, the Kentuckian Office
and the New Era office. All persons
who get mail from the Office are
entitled to vote. Ballots are provid-
ed upon which the name is written
and the ballot dropped into the big
box provided to receive it. The
voting will continue for six days and
the wishes of the patrons of the
Office as expressed in the ballots will
decide whether or not the office will
be closed on Sundays.
Closing the Office will not interfere
with the mail being distributed in
the boxes. but it means that there
will be no general deliveries on Sun.
day. AS it is now the mail carriers
all go to the Office at s o'clock and
sort the mail out and hand it out to
those who call for it. This delivery
requires the full office force to be on
hand and the clerks have no chance
to attend Sunday school or church
Under the new arrangement one
clerk will attend the window for 9
short while for the benefit Of the
travelling public and those who real.
ly have important mail that must be
delivered promptly.
Many of the larger cities have al
ready adopted this plan and the
movement is a general one. Hop
kinsville will no doubt vote for the
closing by large majority of the
votes cast. Drop into the Kentuck-
ian office and vote. Ballots will be
found just inside the door.

His Campaign For Governor
Opened to Friendly
Hearers.
HE PREDICTS SUCCESS
Believes The Ticket Nomi-
mated July 1 Will Triumph
BY 10000.

Hon. Jas. B. McCreary opened his
campaign for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor of Kentucky at |
the courthouse yesterday to crowd |
that filled the court room.
Mr.. McCreary came in the night |
before and held an informal recep-
ton during the forenoon in his rooms
at Hotel Latham. The speaking be-
gan shortly after one O'Clock. = MIR.
McCreary was introduced by Judge
]. T. Hanberyland was given cor
dial reception.
He began by saying that he had
thought he would not again be a
candidate for office, but he had been
urged by letters and appeals from 81
counties to become a candidate for
Governor and he believed his party
had right to command his services.
He spoke of the small majority in
the State and of the fact that the
Republicans had elected two Cover
nors in 16 Yeas and said party har-
mony was necessary. He said he
had made no alliances, nor combina-
tons, with other candidates, but was
obeyiifg the call of his party and
that the Democrats would elect their
ticket by 1000 majority. He re-
ferred to his former race for Cover
nor when he defeated Justice Jno.
M. Harlan by q, 900 majority, the
largest majority ever given candi-
date for governor before or since.
After that he was sent to Congress
and elected to the Senate, which
was an endorsement Of his official
record.
He said he believed that there
should be a complete separation of
church and state and that every man
should worship according to the
dictates of his own conscience. He
believed with Jefferson in the freest
exercise of religious liberty. He
defended the primary election and
declared that he was an advocate of
primaries always. as the best way
tie get the will of the people.
He discussed his party loyalty
covering period of SO years and
the fact that he was chairman in
1900 when Bryan and Beckham car
ried the state.
His speech throughout was an ap-
peal for party harmony and there
was no dwelling upon the questions
upon which Democrats are just now
divided
Mr.. McCreary spoke to an audi
ence made up almost entirely of
his friends and his speech was well
received.
He said he was having some diff
Guilty to find out who was going to
run against him, but if an opponent
should be found who could beat him
in the primary July l, he pledged
himself to support him.
After his speech, Hon. Jas. P.
Edwards, candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. and Senator G. 7. Wyatt,
candidate for Commissioner Of Agri-
culture. made brief speeches.

SENATOR CANNoN'S OPINION.

The Deseret News on Saturday even
ing brought forward an extremely IA
Vorable opinion of President Joseph L
smith written by former Senator Frank
j. Cannon This opinion of Mr.. Can.
non $ was written, IL appears, in 1902
lhe testimony Of President Smith in
The Smoot case given before the Sen.
ate Committee on Privileges and Elec
TONS was delivered in 1904 Directly
after that. Mr.. Cannon s opinion was
so radically changed that nothing short
of complete reversal would describe
| that change. We may say in passing
That good many others changed their
opinions of President Smith ON the
same account.
But, as we said on Saturday morning.
the question is not to be determined on
personalities or any one IS opinion. it
is the record that governs. But if for.
mer Senator Cannon's opinion Of Pres
ldent Smith prior to 1904 is worth quot
ing, his opinion since that time and
after the delivery OF President Smith s
testimony in the Smoot case, ought to
be good deal better worth quoting
We suggest, therefore, to the church
organ that, inasmuch as it printed at
some length the opinion which former
Senator Cannon had of Joseph f. Smith
prior to the delivery of the testimony
referred TO, common fairness would sug-
gest that 1T print now some opinions
that Mr. Cannon has delivered as TO
President Smith since that testimony
That would probably even up the score
If the News considers MI Cannon a
good witness, as it seems to do or it
would not have produced his opinion,
1t would be no more than Just for the
News now TO print Mr.. Cannon s more
regent opinion, for the enlightenment
of its readers and of the general pub
lie. 1t ought not to he d fficult for the
News TO get this revised opinion; but
if it finds any difficulty about it, and
desires to print Mr. Cannon S more re-
can easily furnish ii the material But
the point, so far as this is concerned, |
is that if Mr.. Cannon s opinion prior
to 1902 is valuable, his opinion since
1904 ought TO be more valuable still
All this, however, as stated by us
is aside from the main ques.
ion. The record is what decides. not |
anybody opinion or anybody S "pri
yate affairs This record we have
given. and there is no mistake about

CzARISM IN THE SADDLE.

The Democrats in the House have
yielded TO the dominance of the Rule,
Committee czarship. The precedent
Will make sharp division between the
method Of making up committees OF
the House. The regular standing com
mlttees were made up, according tc
! agreement, in the caucuses OF the dif
ferent parties; the special committees
of investigation have been and will be
made up and reported by the Commit,
tee on Rules. And ever since the rule
of the committee was first sustained
its power has been getting more and
more arbitrary and fixed.
This is an important point. The
reason for the distinction is not evi.
dent; but still, the distinction is made.
the precedent established This prece.
dent will doubtless be controlling The
Committee on Rules Will be rigid in
insisting upon its privileges as yielded
to and defined, and it will be difficult
TO overthrow the rule thus created.
Those Democrats who insisted on the
wider control of the party caucuses to
determine the committeeships of their
members individually have the logic of
the situation with them; but they
are orcrbornc by votes; therefore, the
contrary principle is established Not
only has the membership Of the House
yielded on all points to the czarism of
the Committee on Rules, it now yields
10 and backs up the attempt of that
committee to coerce the Senate by say
ing what measures the Senate must
recess
The indivdualism Of the House has.
for a long time, been insisting upon the
party rule by the caucus in place of
rule by the Speaker, or in secret coun-
ellis of some arbitrary committee
When the revolt against Speaker Can
non achieved its first victory, the
Speaker was deprived of many Of his
powers. 1t was soon found, how
ever, that the Committee on Rules,
IN which powers taken from the
Speaker were vested, was Just as
arbitrary in its rule as Speaker Cannon
had ever been. Consequently, a fight
was made to get rid of that control
The change of party rule in the House
allowed the Democrats to come in
and carry their point apparently, and
they did control it so far as the
makeup Of the regular committees is
concerned. But arbitrary power dies
hard. and fights for every inch of
ground The Committee on Rules clear
ly violated the logic of the situa tion,
if not the direct understanding, by un-
dertaking to make up the special com
mittees that were to investigate the
steel and the sugar trusts. But the
carried lis point, and forced
the divided rule as 10 committee selec-
tions as stated. There will doubtless,
in some subsequent Congress, be a re-
uewal of this fight, and the Committee
on Rules will probably be unborsed

party in power, through its general
caucus, will he fully established
