PRESIDENT TAFT WILL
ADDRESS SOUTHERN men
At Commercial Congress at At.
Ianta-Great Purpose
of the Meeting.

Washington, Dec. 30.-President
Taft will address the greatest gath
ering of business men ever held in
this country on March 10th, at At
lanta, Ca, where the Southern Com
merciai Congress viii be IN session
for three days beginning March 8,
1911. The Governors of the other
fifteen Southern States united with
Governor Brown, of Georgia, in ex-
tending this invitation to President
Taft, which was delivered to him to-
day through the Executive Commit
tee of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress and Committee from Georgia.
The program of the three days
will be the most important in the
history of the commercial South,
and invitations will be issued
to the most prominent men Of the
nation to participate. In addition
to the address by the President, who
has chosen for his subject, "A Great
er Nation Through a Greater South"
addresses will be made by Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Gov.-Elect Woodrow
Wilson, of New Jersey, Hon. T. V.
Powderly, Surgeon General Walter
Wyman, the Governors of the South
ern States, and other distinguished
men throughout the entire country.
This vast rally is intended to typ
ify in a vivid manner to the people
of the nation that the South, regard
ing itself as an integral portion of
our great country, has set itself to
the task of building a still greater
nation through the growth and de-
velopment of a still greater, South.
Final arrangements of the pro-
gram, are now being completed by
the Executive Committee OF the
Southern Commercial Congress at
Washington, who expect to announce
the full list Of speakers within few
days.

Even IN this modern day there
perchance may bob up some bigoted
critic OF the press as to its province
as a newspaper. Some people would
have nothing of sensational nature
(which is simply news out of the or
dinary) printed. while others are al
ways glad to read anything a news
paper may print until they or their
relatives become concerned in some
unseemly incident and then they
want It suppressed. In the mean
time the successful newspaper pur-
sues the even tenor of its way, sure
of its mission and what is expected
Of it, and regardless OF any carping
critic. It seldom seems to strike
some people that perhaps the editor
knows his business.

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
THEIR AVAILABILITY

The Commoner receives a great
many inquiries in regard to men
whose names are being mentioned
in connection with the Democratic
Presidential nomination. 1t is not
able to answer all questions but 1t
will be pleased to answer where it
can and to make inquiry where it is
uncertain. Four persons are being
mentioned with frequency-Folk,
Gaynor, Harmon and Wilson, and
their records are being examined.
Folk was an active supporter of
Bryan and Sewell in 1896 and has
supported the Democratic national
ticket in all the Presidential cam
paigs since.
Mayor Gaynor has supported the
national ticket in all campaigns. In
1896 he was conspicuous as a sup
porter Of the Chicago platform-he
was one of the few prominent Demo-
Gratis in the East who stood up for
the party creed and ticket-and he
has been faithful ever since.
Governor Harmon. then 2 mem
Der of Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, did
not vote in 1896, but in 1900 pre-
sided at Mr.. Bryan's meeting in Gin
cinnati.
Gov. Wilson supported Palmer
and Buckner in 1896, but is suppos-
ed to have supported the Democratic
national ticket in subsequent cam
paigns. The Commoner has no pos
tive information as to the cam
paigns since 1896, but will be pleas
ed to publish any authoritative in
formation which any reader may
have on the subject.-tBryan's Com
moner.

INCONSISTENCY THAT
WAS EXTRAORDINARY
Was Shown in Recent Action Of
Democratic State Executive
Committee.

In all the checkered history of
Kentucky, there was never a more
peculiar performance than that OF
he Kentucky State Executive Com
mittee at its meeting in Louisville
Thursday. i,a9tasN sIror ri
At one moment 1t voted for aepri-
mary for the selection of a State
ticket, on the ground that this was
the best and fairest means of getting
the wishes of the people.
The very next moment It voted
down a proposal to secure the choice
of the people for United States Sena-
tor in a similar manner.
BY voting down the latter propo-
sition, the Democratic party OF Ken
lucky spits upon the platforms Of
the party, turns its back upon the
solemn promises, pledges and protes-
tations of the organization In three
different national conventions. and
stamps itself as thoroughly reaction
airy. .hA
II there is one thing more than
another to which the Democracy
stands pledged by it's platforms and
the speeches of its leaders, It is the
popular election Of Senator'S Carry
ing out this principle, 1T would be
the logical thing for the party to
determine its senatorial nominee by
party vote. $3.50
It is significant and educational to
observe that the only ones who IA
vored the senatorial primary we're
the friends of congressman Ollie
James, while the ones who opposed
1t were the friends OF Senator T. H.
Paynter, former Governor ]. CIV.
Beckham, Harry Weissinger and ].
c. Mayo.
Ollie James had the courage to
come out in the open and demand
that the party stand by its plat
forms. None Of his opponents had
the courage to come out and advo-
cate the reverse policy.
The inner meaning of the commit
tees action was elucidated by the
remark in a reactionary Democratic
paper that II there had been a popu-
lar primary, no one but James would
have had a chance.
It was the friends of Paynter,
Beckham, Mayo and Weissinger who
opposed James motion for a sena-
torial primary.
If the Democrats of Kentucky are
alive to their own interests, the Post
rather fancies that they will take the
earliest opportunity to elect a pro-
gressive Legislature and insure the
election of progressive United
States Senator. and not one safe
and sane" reactionary and satisfac-
tory to big business.-[The Ken
lucky Post. Covington, Ky.

HUGGED WIFE TOO HARD
ARRESTED AND FINED

Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. S1.-Jay
Harr Jordan. telegraph operator,
was fined s20o to-day for hugging
his wife so hard as to break two of
her ribs. Jordan was arrested last
night on complaint of his wife. who
told a policeman that her husband
was cruel to her.
I'VE have been married just a
month" Jordan told the Court to-
day. "A fortnight ago tried to kiss
my wife. grasped her firmly to
give her one good kiss. She tried to
squirm away, and in the squirming
cracked two ribs.
"A week ago she heard girl say
! was a nice-looking young man.
That was the beginning of our guar
rels, which ended with my wife call
ing the officers last night. Now she
claims that broke her ribs on pur-
pose"
After hearing the wife's side of
the story, Judge Halstead assessed
the 5000 fine on Jordan.

PITMAN, FAMOUS FOUNDER
OF SHORTHAND, DEAD

Ben Pitman, aged SO years, one
of the country's most famous citi-
zens, died Wednesday night in his
home at 1852 Columbia avenue, Gin
cinnati. Pitman was the founder of
phonetic shorthand in America, He
was also we'll known in art circles
all over this country.
He was a national figure during
and after the Civil War. He was
one OF the first shorthand reporters
to be employed by the United States
Government. For nearly a year he
had been Ill at his home, and some
months ago he submitted to every
serious operation from the effects
of which he never recovered.
