County Option I'm Kentucky.

The democrats in Kentucky. emulat-
ing the republicans, declared in their
state convention for the extension of
the county unit in the government OF
the liquor trafic, for county option in
stead OF local option. The McCreary
and Beckman faction took this course
in opposition to the will OF Colonel
Henry Watterson Of the Louisville
CourierJournal who brought IN a min
GRITTY report In favor of local option,
such as still prevails in counties con-
tanning the larger cities. Watterson
said be Was standing for the time-hon
ored democratic principle of local self
government and that the county unit
would eventually mean statewide pro
hibition. He blameS McCreary for
allying himself with Beckham after
he had Quarreled with Beckham on Nc
Creary's account He says the Nc
Creary- Beckham party is insincere on
this question and that the real senti
ment OF Kentucky democracy is asains,
the county unit.
To northerners Il seems strange that
Kentucky has gone so far along the
road toward prohibition. The explain
alton is the desire to keep liquor away
from the negroes. This explains the
prohibition movement throughout the
south. Judge Richard Russell, candi-
date for governor OF Georgia, says the
policy has failed in that state

The accident near Manchester y.
y. whereby p Grand Army veterans
lost their lives. is depIorable More
over the loss of life resulting was due
10 the fact that when the rails spread
the train was on d bridge and run
ming at high rate OF speed to make
up lost time. Had the cars left the
track a feT hundred feet further on
they would have run down or along
the side of an embankment of ordin-
airy height and not into the river. The
obvious moral is the need OF eternal
vigilance. Trains crossing bridges
should proceed cautiously. II neces-
saTy to require the observance of such
prudence, the Law should demand a
full stop before the bridge is reached.
Street railway companies desiring eau
ton at grade crossings have found it
necessary 70 order full stop before
making the crossing. Otherwise mo-
tormen pressed for time will take
chances eventuating some day in trag-
edy.

The Field of Literature

munseys Magazine for September
IN addition to II clever short stories,
there are six special articles in Mum
sey's magazine for September of ex-
ceptional interest and Importance.
The most notable of the latter is per-
/ haps an article by Dr. William Lee
Howard on How to Make Yourself
. Germ-Proof." DR.. Howard tells of the
danger of too much exercise, and
urges nasal breathing as a supplement
tary fight against consumption.
Isaac F. Marcosson contributes the
dramatic life-story of two poor boys
who conceived and built the most i'm
portant railroad in Canada, and who
ultimately became sole owners. His
/ story. Mackenzie and Manu. is solid
truth in fiction form and an intimate
picture OF two men of international
fame.
Moses Breeze, Doctor of Sick
Churches" is another article that Is
timely IS well as Informative. Breeze
says that the churches OF this country
must be conducted along more bust
nesslike lines if they are to live. He
says they must adopt fairer means Of
peoples confidence.
Two other articles OF unusual inter
est are Crucial Moments Caught by
the Camera" by William Allen John

former are many striking photographs
Of uncommon happenings. The latter
story tells OF a number Of titled for

Bishoff was so affected at this in
formation that he signed his receipts
and hurried away without asking any
questions. much to his regret ever
since, for he appears to be in a mud
die about the whole affair. The only
part of it about which he is certain is
that he was wide awake and in his full
senses when the events occurred in the
agents office.

remark "There is so much legend

Had the RcpUbicans Controlled.

Had republican house been in
control during the special session OF
congress just closed, no steps would
have been taken to compel a reduc-
ton of the high tarln, and the conse-
quent high cost of living; no corrupt
practices act would have been pass
ed; no light would have been thrown
on the operations OF the sugar and
steel trusts. or the attempts OF the
Guggenheims to obtain control Of
Alaska; New Mexico and Arizona
would not have been admitted to
statehood; no steps would have been
taken toward doing away with the
secret party caucus; nothing would
have been done to eradicate the cor
ruption incident to the republican
party's long tenure. and no efforts
would have been made to loosen the
thoRgs which hampered DR.. Wiley
In hts administration of the pure
food law.
These are the principal accomplish
ments Of the democratic house. and
they are the mere remarkable By
reason Of the fact that in bringing
them about the hostility OF q repub-
Iican senate azd president had 70 be
met and overcome. True. actual re-
vision Of the tariG downward was
baked by President Taft's veto, but

makes the point the wool bill was I'M
considered, when a. . matter Of fact
the ways and means committee put
in three months Of sincere investiga-
ton and study before the bill was
framed, which il twice the length OF
time given to the consideration of the
wooden schedule OF the Payne-Ald-
rich bill. and which document the
president readily signed.
Second. the president asks that the
people continue TO pay exorb1tant
prices for woolens until he hears
from his tariff board, which is packed
with men who take the high-protec-
ton viewpoint, and whose chief
agents and alleged impartial" inves-
tigators abroad are writing back ar
ticles for American newspapers nd
iculing and belitt1ing the crying de-
mand of the consumers for tariff re-
vision downward.
Mr. Taft's message against cheap
er woolens will go down as docu-
ment of Misrepresentation, false pre-
tense and excuses. The real reason
the president vetoed the various tar
if bills was not stated in any or his
messages. It was because he was un-
der obligations TO the hsneficiaries OF
the Payne-Aldrich law to serve their
Interests instead of the public inter
est Mr.. Taft was elected president
with a campaign fund contributed by
special privilege. Then, having done
this the great tariff trusts extended
further aid (and placed Taft further
in their debit by frightening their
employees into voting for Taft with
the threat that their factories and
mills would be closed down unless he
was elected And, just as he was the
candidate OF special privilege, Mr..
Taft is revealed in his veto message
as also the president Of special privi-
lege.
Thus it is shown again how protec-
ton makes politics a business prop
osition. The trusts contribute cam
paign funds to the party Of the high
protection wall with the intention OF
not only recovering from the public
the amount Of such contributions in
excessive prices, but stupendous divi-
dends as profits. Mr.. Taft proved an
exceptionally good Investment for the
tariff trusts.

recall idea, as embodied in Arizona g
proposed constitution, through its
passage by congress. This demon

that the democrats are sensitive 10
the wishes Of the people. which is
the first essential q great political
party must have IL its rule is to be
marked by success. 1t matters not
whether the recall and the initiative
and referendum are safe PROPOSE
tons. The main thing is that the
people have shown e desire to Try
them, and the democrats, by their re-
fusal to block and ignore that desire,
as the republicans would have done,
clearly demonstrated that the inter
ests of the people are paramount in
their minds.
The people want several things,
among them tariff revision down
ward, and the first step toward bring
ing that about is the placing in COM
plete power of party that recognizes
the right OF the people 70 have what
they want. The democrats recognize
that right. The republicans told the
people outright that they didn't
themselves know what was good for
them.
Tariff revision downward is still
the burning issue. and on that issue
the democrats are willing to go to
the polls again next year"

THE players on the stage OF life
Have not the prompter's aid
No friendly whisper from the wings
From one who knows the trade.
The lines to fit each scene that comes
They have to improvise
And every problem meet that may
From time to time arise.
The actor person has q snap.
The lines are there for him
He needs but mouth them as they come
and through the measure skim.
The clothes to wear are handed him,
The hat. the coat, the vest
The text informs him when TO work
And when TO sit and rest
And then. oh. Joy and rapture sweet,
To pay for all this talk.

One-hslf of what they claim.

BY syndicates and arrangements
with name plates on the door
He has TO hustle for himself.
And oft for little pay.
And thinks he Is in luck to get
His three square meals 4 day.
