The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1912-04-17

There are few things more inhu-
man in mankind than his attitude
in politics. Often, for the nonce, he
will forsake the friendship of years,
"cross up" his most intimate asso-
ciates as well as perhaps much of
his past political record, in his zeal
for personal views. Political zeal
seems to be a sort of mania that af-
fiicts all alike in its specific out
break. 1t wots little of reason or
logic and less of kindly regard for
an adversary. About the worst type
of this disease" is often found in
party confines.

thoroughly subservient majority
through a scheduled task.
The resolutions that we're intro.
duced endorsed President Taft and
kentucky's Republican Representa-
tive in Congress; cited a long list
OF the Presidents achievements;
approved the policy of voting more
pensions, and concluded by advo-
eating the improvement of water
ways.
Judge O'Rear made two efforts
to speak, but upon merely techni-
cal and somewhat fimsy rulings,
was denied the privilege by the
Senator, who thus gave fresh evil
dence of his gratitude and magma
nimity. Even when he has things
his own way, he seems unable to be
fair with those who differ with
him.
The Herald believes Kentucky is
for Taft. 1t believes he could have
obtained a practically solid dele
CATION in a fairly conducted pri-
mary. Because OF this, it regreats
the manner in which that delega-
tion has been secured. If he is the
nominee at Chicago the Herald will
do its utmost to win for him in the
State, but it is folly to deny that Re-
publican chances for success in
Kentucky have suffered as a. re-
suit of what the President himself
termed "soap-box" methods. 81 =

We do not suppose there Is any
serious objection from any Ken
lucky Democrat to the proposition
of Judge S. w. Hager, of Owens
boro, the State manager of Wood
row Wilson, to have preference
primary for the selection Of dele
gates to the Democratic State Con-
vention. 1t would be a fair plan to
determine the sentiment of Ken
lucky Democrats as to a choice for
President-fair for either Clark
or Wilson.

Revenge is said to be sweet. Any
old kind-just so 1t answers the
purpose. A few years ago the Re-
publicans of Kentucky sent ne
gro as delegate to their National
Convention and omitted Col Brad
ley. bast week Bradley was boss
of a State Convention which chose
a darlxey as a national delegate
instead of Judge O'Rear, who real
ly wanted the job. Now, isn't that
perfectly ALL right"-from a Re-
publican point of view?

A vital matter affecting the farm
ing classes is that every farmer or
community should at least raise
what he or they consume. Thous-
ands of dollars go out of Ohio coun-
ty every year to purchase family
eating supplies which might in all
reason be raised and supplied right
here. 1t is a matter deserving the
serious thought of all farmers.

Some of the Democratic papers
of the State seem to be very much
worked up over what they see fit to
call "dictation" upon the part of
Kentucky Congressman because the
latter have announced that they are
for Champ Clark for President. We
hardly think any of our all very
able Congressman would assume so
much; at least we have seen moth
ing to indicate it. Just because
Kentucky's national law-makers-
who perhaps know him best-are
for Clark, Is no command that any
other Kentuckian need be, unless
he personally elects to see the same
way. We think better of our Con-
gressmen than that.

Since the squabble between Taft
and Roosevelt has waXed to such

The vicissitudes of politics was
never better illustrated than in the
recent Republican mass convention
held in Hartford. About a year
ago the political steam-roller, man.
ned by a certain set OF fellows. ran
gaily over the aims and aspirations
of a coterie of party colleagues.
This time the fiattened-out fellows
mounted the machine and just as
joyously rode down the former rid
ers. No personal consideration
was shown in either case. Who'll
be the next to fall or ride?

The Louisville Herald appears to
be a fair sheet, ably and conscien-
tiously edited, and is the recognized
organ of the Republican party in
Kentucky. Throughout the recent
disgraceful actions of some of the
leaders of its own party it pre-
served both respectful and re-
spectacle bearing, yet denouncing
the most of the doings as a dis
graceful mess, with few mitigating
circumstances. Elsewhere in our
columns will be found its editorial
opinion of the Republican conven-
ton in Louisville last week. The
Herald frankly admits the grave
situation of its party at present.

GEORGIA PEACHES AXE
NOW GOING NORTH
The Movement is Now at Its
Height

Atlanta, Ga, June 13.-The Georgia
peach is flying northward this week.
The movement has almost reached its
height and the railways between At
inrta and the east are being taxed to
handle the enormous shipments.
Special trains, operated on passen-
ger schedules and cutting the time
from Atlanta to New York to 26 hours.
are carrying the cars of iced fruit.
The peaches, by car lots, are coming
to Atlanta daily, and the yards are
buster than at any time in the past
year, making up fast trains for east
bound traffic. Atlanta is the concen-
tration point for all fruit from south
Georgia points, and most of the work
is done at night when the daily bust
ness is out of the way
Ehe Central of Georgia and other
railway, anticipating big crop, have
been preparing for weeks, moving
empty cars southwark and storing
them in yards, enlarging the ice plant
at Inman yards, Atlanta, and arrang-
ing schedules that will cause no de-
lay in the transmission of the perish
able freight. 1t is believed that there
will be an ample supply of cars this
season, even for the phenomenal crop
expected.
The ice plant at Inman yards had
been enlarged and overhauled. Tracks
and platforms have been extended to
permit the handling of "a cars at one
time. and only Is minutes is required
to ice this number properly. The dou-
bic tracking of the Southern railway
is expected to be completed this week,
giving the road great facilities for the
rush fruit season.

Boston, Mass. June 13.~-Aa pair of
shoes in possession of James O'Sulli-

though out of fashion and look good
for another century or so of wear.
The shoes were actually worn for two
years steadily in England, and then
saw service in Australia, where they
were in use off and on, for some eigh-

them in the work on the Ashland DAM

COL. "BILL" DODSON, PLANTER.
SUMTER COUNTY.

An exchange, from whose clipping ,
We accidentally omitted the credit, |
declares in effect that, judging from
the halcyon life must be that
of a planter in Sumter county, with
land vlues going up steadily as an ad-
dition to the profits of the years work.
The writer had the right idea of il.
The halcyon life of the day undoubt-
eddy is that lead by the successful
planter of Sumter county, the man
who owns his own farm, who knows
how to farm, and who believes in get
ting the good things out of life along
with the labor.
To him all things are possible
Broad, level highways reach from his
door to the city, and to all other
parts of the county. telephones con-
meet him with his neighbors, and with
the markets, autos make trips to town
sheer delight, health and strength
and good living are his, and the end
of the season, as the editorial COM
menter intimates, generally finds his
bank balances larger, or his posses
sions of land broader. Really he IS
the man to be envied, occupying a
position far superior in its ease, its
independence, its comforts its pleas
lies. to that of the merchant or the
professional man in town.
The city folks realize this, too Take
our we'll known townsman, Col. Bill
Dodson, for instance. The story they
tell of him exemplifies the standing
of the Sumter county planter at home
and abroad.
Col. Dodson went to New York a
couple of summers ago, combining
business and pleasure in the proper
doses, homeopathic as to the former
and very literally "old school" as to
the latter
Entering the WaldorfAstoria to
register the clerk obsequiously turned
the register to the gentleman from
Georgia
There was not moments pause. AS
the clerk glanced at the name and ad-
dress he frightened up and his hand
went out to grasp that of the colonel.
There, in his biggest chirography,
stood out this magic open sesame:
Col. William A. Dodson, Planter,
Sumter County, Georgia"
SHOW the gentleman from Georgia
to Suite 49," said the clerk in his
most czar-like tone to the uniforme
minion, and then, Inning to the Sum-
terite, remarked: WI private ST.
ting room, bedroom and bath be suf-
fcient, colonel? We are somewhat
crowded"
The planter from Sumter" county
was equal to the occasion.
yes; oh, yes, if that is all that IS
open"
! Never was a man more sedulously
waited upon-so the story goes-thal
tie planter from Sumter 1t was a
tribute to the power of the three
words, Planter" SUMTER" AMI
! Georgia" a winning combination
wherever men are intelligent and
posted.
Yes, to be a Sumter county planter
IS to enjoy a halcvon-like life. Every
day to such lucky man is like day
in his first honeymoon.
And as Col. Bill" Is said to have
afterwards remarked, Its a pleasure
to pay the bill, with a smile on your
face, to know that the world recog-
nizes the standing of a planter in this
most favored of Gods favored coun-
!, ties"
