TRIED TO DESTROY
CATHOLIC CHURCH
Enough Explosive Found to Have
Destroyed Section Of
Town.

Cambellsburg, Ky, March 1s.-An
effort was made Tuesday night to
blow up the Catholic church at this
place, and only the failure of the fuse
to burn properly prevented the de-
struotlon, not only of the church, but
of the rectory in which the Rev.
Thomas hurry lives, as we'll as a
number of houses In the immediate
neighborhood.
There Is no clew to the identity Of
the person who made the attempt and
Father hurry, who has been here for
years and Is very popular. cannot I'M
agine any cause for the efforts on the
part of the dynamiters.
The explosive was found Wednes-
day morning by an old colored woman
who has been the housekeeper for
Father Murray for a long time. The
dynamite had been placed on the
porch Of the rectory and piece Of
newspaper rolled up tight with powder
inside had been used as fuse. Ac-
cording to the statement Of dynamite
experts, there was enough Of the ex-
plosives to have destroyed that section
of the town. The person who placed
the dynamite had evidently not taken
time to light the paper properly or
had rolled It too tight, as the fire had
gone out just before reaching the
powder.
Owing to the fact that a heavy rain
fell Wednesday morning, all traces of
the person who planted the dynamite
were washed away. Only one place In
town handles the dynamite. and A
clerk In the store stated that he re-
members selling some dynamite to a
colored boy some days ago, but that
he paid no attention to the matter at
the time, and did not know whether he
could identify the boy If he saw him.
1t was his impression that the pur-
chaser said he did not want a fuse.
Officials are investigating the case,
and it is expected that arrests will be
made in few days.

HELP FOR THE FARMERS.

President Taft's recently promul-
gated plan to assist the farming in
terests by providing cheap loaning
rates for the farming, has called
down upon his head the wrath and
scorn of the Wayne Independent
Not that the plan is not good one.
Oh, no! The Independent acknowl-
edges that it would be of great as
sistance to the farmers in making
their business a financial success, and
would be treating them fairly as
with the corporations and other busi-
ness interests, but its complaint is
that the plan did not originate with
President Taft, and therefore be has
no right to propose to help the farm
ers in this way, and, if he does so
propose, the proposition is for cam
paign purposes only.
And with whom did the plan origi-
nate? why, with the Wayne Inde-
pendent, to be sure! Listen to its
modest admission of the fact Pres
ident Taft has just conceived an idea
that is not an original one, but 1t Is
one that the Independent has called
repeated attention to-"
In the same editorial entitled
"Fooling the Farmers" the Inde
pendent complains because borrow
ing of banks is not made easy for
farmers" If the farmer wants to
borrow from a bank, says the In
dependent, he is compelled to get
endorsers on his note, and TO pay the
legal rate of interest, and, moreover,
national banks are prohibited by
law from lending money on real es-
tate security. The Independent
thinks this is all wrong ana works
an Injustice TO the farmer, Well.
let us see!
The editor of the Independent is
a director of a bank that has a right
to lend money on real estate secur-
ity, and to lend it at as low a rate
of interest as it chooses. The edi-
tor is reputed to have large influence
in the board of directors. Let him
endeavor to correct the injustice of
which his journal complains, by
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-10-23

Articles appearing in the 1nde-
pendent with the apparent intention
of inflaming the public mind ad-
versely to public men and measures
in connection with the Republican
party, generally starts out with an
allusion to grafters, and by inference
and innuendo appeal to the passion
and prejudices of its readers in an
attempt to embitter them against
certain policies and candidates dur
ing a political campaign. We re-
member several years back that the
term then used was "boodler" and if
our memory serves us Alright a GER
tain newspaper was accused at that
time of being a boodler, and ac-
cording to common street rumor, this
year has been no exception to the
rule or the practice.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-10-23
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1912.

North American and certain other
politically erratic journals, charges
that the Republicans of the country
are responsible for the assault on the
ex-president because they criticised
his ambition to serve a third term in
the White House, and by so doing
aroused a murderous impulse in the
breast of a degenerate. To argue
against a third term in the presi-
dency, is not lying, is not SANDER
ing, is not speaking malice. To
speak in opposition to third term
is legitimate, logical, clean political
argument. There are the best of
reasons why no man, whether it be
Col Roosevelt or any other, should
be permitted by the American people
to serve a third presidential term.
Must there then be no criticism of
the political motives or conduct of a
candidate for office, lest some Wild
eyed crank should be inspired there
by to attempt to murder him? The
proposition is absurd. In a republic
like ours there must be free speech
honest criticism, opposing state
ments and diverging views. Col.
Roosevelt has not hesitated to call
those who disagree with him politi-
cally, liars, thieves, receivers of stol-
en- goods, unfit associates of decent
people, ETC., etc. His opponents,
while not permitting themselves to
use similar opprobrious epithets,
have vigorously combatted his views
and policies and his political con-
duct. But not any of it, nor all of
it combined, has been sufficient to
awaken the remotest thought of vio-
lence, or the furtherest dream of
murderous desire, in the mind of
any sane person. And the minds OF
insane persons, their thoughts and
desires, cannot be reckoned with, nor
can their lawless conduct be guarded
against. Men prominent in public
life have from time immemorial been
targets for the bullets, and victims
of the knives of the criminally in
sane. No man, nor body of men is
responsible directly or indirectly for
Schrenks dastardly attempt. 1t was
the result of his own crazy animosity
against a man prominent in the pub
lie eye.
And the labored effort of certain
newspapers to charge the offense up
to the members of a political party
is as unjust as it is disreputable.
