WOULD IMPROVE ROADS
IN Breckenridge Co.
Good Roads Movement is Started
and Lead by Father
Knue.

At the village of McQuady, in
Breckenridge county there is a good
roads movement which seems eminent
ly worthy of commentator. At Nc
Quady is located a handsome Catholic
church, known as st. NIary's Catho-
lie church in the Woods. Father
Knue, the priest in charge, recognizes
thefact that a church is badly hundl-
capped when there are no improved
roads leading to 1t. During the win
ter, particularly, attendance suffers
greatly by reason of COR facilities for
travelling.
Father Knue has set himself at
work TO amelioarte conditions. With
better roads he believes his congre-
cations Ixculd be in a more spiritual
frame of mind, more receptive and
more reachable. Therefore he is lead
ing movement to build rock roads
to the north, south, east and west of
the village. To begin with he call
ed mass meeting of the farmers of
the vicinity and explained his plans.
They liked the program as laid down
by Father Knue, and they are going to
carry it out. They are to build half
a mile of rock road on each of the
four highways leading out of the
town. There is plenty of road-malS
ing material in the surrounding hills,
and they are digging it out and
hauling it and putting it where it
will do the most good.
1t is a cooperative effort entirely
and the county is not being asked TO
bar any sharee of the expense. 1t
would be no more than fair that the
county should help in the work, but
inasmuch as the county has not seen
proper to do anything heretofore the
McQuady people are helping themsel-
ves-which is no bad plan after all
No village ought to be content to re-
main in the mud, and there are a lot
of villages in Kentucky that need
some leadership and initiation of the
sort that Father Knue has shown at
McQuady.
Cleanliness is next to godliness, and
dirt roads are anything but cleanly.
That being true, it is entirely proper
that the men who preach should lend
their aid to the campaign for better
roads. Father Knue is setting an ex-
celent example -Courier-Journal.

teen years in He'll" is the term used
by Charles Morganfield, a Kentuckian
in describing his confinemennt for
years in i'm the Virginia penitentary
and under that caption the exconwict
is writing a book of the horrors of
prison life and the cruel and unwar-
ranted punishment INFLICTED on convict:
Morganfield, on crutches, citss his

TONS
The convict-author recently came
TO West Virginia from Richmond, Va,
where he wwas released from the Vir-
ginia penitentiary three months ago,
after serving sentence of fifteen
years for one OF the most daring train
robberies ever committed in an east
ern state. He was one of number
OF bandits convicted Of the robbery
of an express train on the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
at Acquia Greek in 1894, when at the
point of Winch@sters $4,000 was car
ried away by the train robbers.
A few days following he Acquia
Greek robbery Morganfield was ar
rested in Cincinnati. He had broken
his leg while lsaping from a Pullman
car at the Cincinnati dfpot and was
arrested at a Cincinnati hospital and
returned TO Richmond, where, upon
the testimony ofa confessed rcbber,
Morganfield was convicted and SEN
fenced to fifteen years confinement in
the Virginia penitentiary. Morgan
field has always stoutly maintained
his innocence.
Since the expiration of his prison
sentence Morganfield has stirred the
Old Dominion with his borrowing
stories of brutality, and an official in
westdgationn has been stanted.

shed Republicans, are not in harmony
with the principles of the Republican
party, as / understand them; and l
want to say frankly that If these pro-
visions had been embodied i'm the
Payne Tariff bill would hove voted
against it. Furthermore, / do not
believe that with these provisions in
it the bill could have passed this
House
Mr.. Langley is right in both propo-
sitions. The proposed AGREEMENT Us SO
far out of harmony with Republican
principle and policy, SO completely
as a nsgation and a reversal of Repub-
lican principle and policy, that it
was adopted by the Democratic House
caucus as Democratic measure and
supported as such by the solid Demo-
cratic vote.
But, to go farther back, let us ask,
in all candor, what earthly chance
would the Tariff bill of 1909 have had
either in the house or in the Sem
ate, if ID had embodied the Free-Trade
provisions of the Canadian agreement
bill? The answer is plain and indis-
putable. The bill would have been
defeaSd The entire Republican vote
would have been cast against it, ex-
oepting, perhaps the votes of one New
England Senator and half dozen
Representatives, mostly from Massa-
chnsetts. Every Progressive" every
Insurgent woul1 hae voted against it.
Many Southern Democrats would have
votad against it.
This bsing the case, how has 1t
happened that measure SO monstrous-
ly un-Rspublican, SO entirely subver-
sive of Republican doctrine and policy,
should have been thrust upon the
Sixty-first Congress as a Republican
party could be so blind TO his party's
intenssts and SO recreant to his party's
faith as to call IAN extra session of
Democrats" TO put through the OBJ
noxious scheme?
There is no truth in the answer
that public sentiment has undergone a
swift change from the Protection in
tho Tariff of August, 1909, to the
Free-Trade in the Canadian agreement
bill OF january. 1911. No such change
has occurred. Outside of a small New
England section nobody was thinking
about a reciprocity bargain with Can
ada, nobody wanted IL. Always. of
course excepting President Taft. the
man who should have been the last |
one to inaugurate a policy SO false 10
parey principle and SO destructive of
party solidarity.
The answer then must be that the |
Canadian agreement bluDder Is the
product Of "one-man politics" the kim
Of politics that Roosevelt developed
when he bulldozed Congress into

q half year later. he snapped his fling
