LEST WE FORGET.

: Eleven years ago yesterday VIII
lam Mckinley died in Buffalo from
an assassin's bullet, and another
stepped into his place as president
of the United States and solemnly
vowed in the presence of the illus
triIous dead, to battle for the poll
cies and principles so Loyalty and
devotedly advocated by the slain
head of the nation.
How we'll has this pledge been
kept? William McKinley's successor
spent the eleventh anniversary of
that tragic event in denouncing from
the stump in the state of Nevada
the national ideals of the martyr
president, and calling men who then
were ardent friends of Mr.. Mckinley
Republican bosses who had scut-
tied the ship.-New York Herald.

AS MAINE GOES.

The Denver Republican, which ha
been one of the most conservative
of political newspapers this fall,
had the following editorial Monday:
LAS Maine goes, so goes the
Union"
If the old adge holds good this
year the election in November will
be a sweeping Republican victory.
For there is no doubt that Maine
has gone Republican. The state
which gave James G. Blaine, Thos.
B. Reed, Nelson Dingley and other
great Republican leaders to the ma
ticn has returned to the Republic
an column. The victory was both
ago Maine elected Democratic gov
ernor by plurality of nearly nine
thousand. This year. with the gov
ernor seeking reelection, Maine
elected Republican governor by a
majority of between three and four
thousand. This too. in spite of the
fact that many third-termers obey
ed Instructions and voted for the
Democratic ticket in order to de-
feat the Republican candidate if
possible.
The result of the Maine election
has given inspiration and courage
to the Taft organization through
out the Middle-West. 1t Is evident
that the trend toward Democracy
has been checked. Two years ago
the Democrats swept the country,
but since that time two important
facts have developed. The first is
that the Democrats are determined
to force their free-trade policy upon
the country. The tariff bills which
they favored in the house indL
Gated what the country might ex-
pect. and the outlook docs not
please the people. In the second
place, the long. fruitless and ex-
pensiva session of congress has CIV
en- the country an object lesson of
Damocratic incompetency and in
capacity in government. Above all
as election day approaches, farm ers
working men. business men and peo-
pie in all walks of life are coming
more and more to realize that a
Democratic administration would
certainly plunge the country into
the depths of despair experienced
between 1892 and 1896. Nobody
wants blight to fall upon the
prosperity which now spreads its hap
piness over the land. and that such
a blight would come with Demo-
cratic victory is only to say that
history repeats itself.

After all that has been said of

called upon to chronicle the death

peror. at the momnte of his burial.
in accord with an ancient national
custom. These were General Nogi

had sufficient spirit to condemn
the suicide as a bad example. The

lished their accounts of the trag-

THE REPUBLICAN WAY Is RIGHT.

1t Is Republican to hold fast to
that which is good; 1t is Repu'b-
1ican to reward good service.
The party which preserved the
union and pensioned the soldiers
could not have been true to it's
principles had it failed to renomi-
nate William Howard Taft for the
presidency.
While 1T is free to reward. it re-
sents the least assumption of Obli-
cation, and so stands firm upon that
principle of freedom on which both
It and the nation were founded. 1t
gives freely, but acknowledges no
debt it cannot pay with honor.
Holding with Washsington and
Lincoln that the very nature of a
people's government necassitates the
placing of limit on human ambi-
tion. the Republican party refused
a third term Of the presidency to its
hero Grant, just as 1t he's a second
time refused like demand made by
its hero. Roosevelt.
it is not that 1t loved Grant less

The war cloud threatening this
country and Mexico may or may
not drift harmlessly by. One thing
can be depended upon. however.
and that is. American citizens in
the neighboring republics will get
protection at the hands of President
Taft and congress. if the latter be-
comes necessary. A movement to-
ward intervention may relieve mat
ters, but it certainly looks like
there should be no further delay.
Americans have done much to de-
vriop Mexico and have put up with
much even in times of peace when
f.scation of properyt and muir
der were not licensed as now. Any
one who has ever been among those
people know their educated hatred
of the "gringo" and can anticipate
with what pleasure they would en-
brace the opportunity to engage in
wholesale throat cutting. particu
iarly when there was the added in
ducement of pillage.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.

Real progress is not indicated by
spasmodic fits. The town. county,
state or nation, in all history. was
built up as needed. Whenever over
doomed there follows. relapse.
II is a law of nature and applies to
the Individual temperament as well.
AS in other things, it is true of
politics. With cur schools and ad-
vanced facilities of education there
/, little need to fear that our ma
ticn will lie really and truly pro-
gressive. 1t is such accmopl.sh-
ments as the building of the Pam
ana canal that mark Its progress
iveness and greatness and not the
crazy ambitions Of some of its citi-
zens.
Nest of the radical political ideas
have fallen flat when tested. Every
real accomplishment of the nation
has become a keystone in the
structure of it's greatness.
Politically. there has never been
an issue which did not conceal
either an appeal fer dollars or to
some temporarily popular clamor.
Usually to both.
Our recently tried primary cleo
ton was the outgro with of uncur'bed
progressive political ambitions. a
tumble of which produced an unslt-
isfactory measure and one so expen-
sive as to be almost sufficient
to bankrupt the state and all of its
various party candidates. costing the
state in one year about half mil
lion dollars.
One trouble with the American
too progressive. They anticipate
for tomcrrcw change which may
require years to accomplish, and the
novice in statecraft seeks to do in
a session what veterans have toiled
for years to bring about. The re-
suit is crudeness and disappoint-
ment.

SOMETHING ABOUT CLIFFORD
PARKS.

Clifford Parks. the Western Slope
candidate for governor. held his
first job in a lumber yard at Gunm
son. An acquaintance narrates OF
him: When his father died he
lefs small estate to be divided
between his children. Against the
earnest protest OF his sisters, Cliff
ford promptly assigned his share to
them, answering their protest In
the following words: 4 am better
able to combat with the world and
earn my living than you. and II is
my wish to earn every dollar ! ever
Doesss wsith my own hands or by
business methcd. II l am ever able
to engage in business.
Mr.. Parks has made a success OF
his own bushes and, regarding his
administration OF the states s affairs
pledges: 81 will not sign an appro-
prIation in excess of the states in
come. If have legislature that
will support me will use my very
best endeavor to put the state upon
its feet financially"
The Independent does not see
how any man could honestly promise
more. and the business record of
CLIFFORD Parks indicates that he will
fulfill his promise to the letter.

At the Peoples Tobacco Warehouse
this morning. all records for high
prices this season were broken. Green
& Bradshaw, of Mercer county, receiv
ed $19.49 for their entire crop. Other
big averages were also made. Bidding
was spirited, the offerings were in
splendid condition and the quality good.
1t is needless to say that the sellers
were in high spirits. There were a.
135 pounds sold at grand average of
$14.63, a record which has probably
never before made in the history of the
warehouse business in Danville, quality
offerings considered. Mr.. R. L. Berry,
of Hustonville, Lincoln county, sold
eight baskets at an average of $40. 81;
MIR. Jason Meadows, of Boyle county,
sold seven baskets at an average of
SIS. SO; Baughman & Sewell, of Boyle
county, sold nine baskets at an average
of $19.25; H. T. Dean, of Mercer coun-
ty, sold nine baskets at an average of
$3.50; James Sutton, of Garrard
county, sold twelve baskets at an av-
erage of $17.32, and Peavyhouse &
Son, of Lincoln county, twelve bas-
kets at an average of S17.05. The
loose leaf market will close this year
for the Holidays on December 20, and
open on December 30.
Following are the prices received by
a number of the leading sellers:

SPLENDID Tobacco Weather.

The last few days of ''soft weather"
has been God send to the farmers,
and almost continuously night and day,
wagons heavily laden with the weed
were to be heard crossing the public
square headed for the various markets.
On:Wednesday the vicinity of the de-
pot very much resembled the days be-
fore the coming of the loose leaf mar
kets, there was a string of wagons
numbering almost fifty waiting their
chance to unload at the local ware
house. Fairly good prices have been
realized during the past week.
The Wonan's Club presented Miss
Rawson, of Frankfort, Secretary of
the State Library Commission, to the
people cf Lancaster and Garrard County,
Saturday afternoon, in lecture, her
subject being, Library Extension and
, the possibilities of a Free Public
Library in Lancaster. Miss Rawson
was a delightful speaker, of charming
personality, added to this was her
broad experience in meeting with and
advising many communities in Ken
lucky as to the establishment of public
libraries.
Her well given suggestions with
clearly defined methods and plans were
most convincing of the advantages. to
be derived from public library and
the mere possibility of Lancaster having
a public library assumed the proportions
of a near probability.
The woman's Club trust that with
the proper action of the people of our
town and county, the support of our
city council, fiscal court. educational
board and the graded school trustees
that public library will in the near
future be one of our institutions.

Commissioner Garland asked him: do
1 understand you to say there is no
duty on wheat?" Mr.. Wilson replied
so | understood by looking at the last
returns"
Commissioner Oliver replied: Wheat
pays 20 cents a bushel and the farm
ers have been asking us to keep that
duty on, because they say otherwise
il would be imported from Manitoba. F."
Mr.. Wilson replied: Then l was mis-
informed"
Imagine the presumption of this man
in undertaking To instruct those ex-
perts in tariff matters! Making the
statement that agricultural products
We're on the free list. when every stu
dent of political economy knows. or
should know, they pay duty of from
% to 30 per cent.
Mr.. Wilson also said in the same
speech: Protection also binders COM
merce immensely. The English people
do not send as many goods to this
country as they would if the duties
were not so much. and we are building
up manufactures here at the expense
of commerce. We are holding our
selves aloof from foreign countries in
effect and saying: we are sufficient to
ourselves; we wish to trade not with
England, but with each other | main
tain that it is not only pernicious
system, but a corrupt system"
Commissioner Garland asked him:
Are you advocating the repeal of all
tariff laws?"
Mr.. Wilson replied: Eyes. of all pro-
tective-tarif laws. of establishing a
tariff for revenue only. 1t seems to
me very absurd to maintain that we
shall have free trade between different
portions of this country, and at the
same time shut ourselves out from free
communication from other producing
countries of the world. If it is neces-
sary to impose restriction duties on
goods brought from abroad, it would
meem to me, as a result, necessary to
impose similar restrictions ON goods
taken from one stateNof this Union to
another. That follows as a necessary
consequence; there is no escape from
it,"
The fact is, Mr. Wilson has had very
little to do with the business affairs of
the nation. 1t is very easy to sit in
the library and formulate system
that is an utter failure when put in
practice He makes good college
president to teach the boys and draw
his monthly salary as other employees
do but when he undertakes to NEEDLE
with the great interests of the people
he gets far beyond his depth, as the
foregoing extracts from his writings
