Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1912-02-14

In many respects the admins
tration of Governor Hooper has
been spectacular success. Many
people in squaring his actions
with his prediction pledges over
look the great things he has done.
1t will be remembered that he
built the great highway from
Memphis to Bristol in one day.
This highway was one of his prom
Uses before election, and the man
ner in which he has kept this
pledge endears him to all the PEG.
pie, more especially the democrats.
In furthering this great scheme,
he originated the idea of selling
buttons to build the road, andit is
said that these buttons were sold
for cash to the amount of several
thousand dollars, many of which
were ornamented with the picture
of this great roadbuilder. What
ever became of this %fund after it
reached the hands of this patriot
and his lieutenants, does not APP.
pear. But this does not count.
Nobody but a whiskey democrat
would think of inquifing what
this business governor does with
the public money One other
prediction pledge was to befriend
the old Confederate soldiers, No
body but a whlskey democrat
would be SO lost to shame as to de-
ny that he has faithfully kept this
pledge. Some fool democrat may
say that he robbed the Confeder-
ate widows of fifty thousand dol
lars, while largely increasing his
own salary, but this does hlR an
injustice, as everybody knows that
a widow is not a soldier. True
this fifty thousand dollars would
have kept the wolf from the door
Of these poor helpless widows.
The large sum added to his own
salary would have done much for
them. But widow women are not
soldiers and he made no promise
to the widows. He is equally
happy In other respects, He was
to close all the saloons as soon as
he was sworn in as governor. His
friends have cause to fellcitate
themselves on the successful man
ner in which he has redeemed this
| pledge. As soon as he got in he
sent word to all the saloon men to
quit. Nobody but a whisky dem
ocrat would deny this. It's said
that one fellow is running an open
saloon right next door to him in
his home town. In his long an.
nouncement for reelection he over
looked these small matters, but he
cannot be expected to recollect
everything. He has to look after
the Pitts committee. Do the mar
Justice. He has measured up tC
Ithe highest republican standard
He has drawn his salary with the
regularity of sunshine, permitted
helpless convlcts to be dashed t
death in the mountain prison, anc
refused clemency to all criminals
except those who kill women. d.

Brave Poland.

The generous friendship Of Catholic
Poland for the cause of American in
dependence during the Revolution,
and the distinguished services of her
gallant heroes, Kosciusko, Pulaski and
others, to the patriots, have ever been
gratefully remembered by the Amer
leans, and have impaired to Amer
lean readers sympathetic interest in
sive people.
In many respects Poland has had an
experience almost as tragic as that
of Ireland. Surrounded by powerful
and aggressive neighbors. the people
of that country have been forced to
submit to overwhelming force, to see
their beloved country portioned out
among the despoilers like so much
booty seized by highwaymen, and to
endure defeat after defeat in their re-
peated efforts to regain control.
The first dismemberment of Poland
took place in 1872, when internal divi-
sions afforded a pretext for the ambi-
tious Catharine of Russia to form a
combination with Frederick the Great
of Prussia and Maria Theresa of Aus
tria to take possession of the country,
dividing it into three parts, as one
would cut an apple. each taking .ne

troubles was fastened upon the people
under the guarantee of Russia. So
matters remained till the close of the
American Revolution.
The triumph OF the cause of liberty
in America, in which some of the best
blood of Poland was shed, inspired
the people with new hope, and a
heroic effort was made to throw of
the Russian yoke. We have already
told in these columns how the brave
Kosciusko fought against fearful odds
in that struggle and after winning
several victories was at last over
whelmed by superior numbers. and
the people We're compelled to submit.
In more recent experience the Inflated
Poles have been subjected to the
harshest exaction, misrule and reli-
sious persecution at the hands of Ger
many as well as Russia.
The faithful allegiance OF the Polish
people to the Catholic Church has
subjected them to persecution cont;n-
uously. 1t will be remembered now
the eminent Cardinal Ledochowski
was held prisoner for years because
Of his spirited attitude in appealing
to the conscientious Judgment Of
Christion civilization against the in
tolerant policy Of the Iron Chancel-
lor," and how he lived to triumph
over his prosecutor.
So far as the portion of Poland I'M
der Austrian rule Is concerned, there
is no complaint of religious intoler-
ance. and the people are in practical
enjoyment Of all the privileges of the

chief articles of export are bread stuffs. lumber, cattle and fish.
 There is said to be honor among no honor in the petty soul of Roose- welt. When President Taft had risk ed his political future in a praise worthy effort to lessen the cost of ily1ng for all consumers, Roosevelt, who had urged free trade with Cana da. basely turns and betrays eighty per cent. of the people. betrays Taft. Just as he betrayed the Republican party and Governor Hadley at the Republican Convention, and his loyal colored supporters at the Bull Moose Convention.
 Now he has pledged himself, in the strongest way, to stop any lessening with Canada, and with that stupid Bull Moose party demands the repeal or the agreement, which still stands on the part Of the United States. When he licked the boots of tho Northwestern farmers, last May, in order to win their votes he swallow ed with delight in the n1ire of shame full recantat ton of a desire to lessen the cost of food in the most feaibie and practical way.
 Wage earners of the United States for the sake of your families, wives and children, for you own moral self respect, do not let yourself be caught by this film liam game of the Bull Moose party, who are going to keep up the prices of food. Do not let this bunco steerer in politics, whose rec ord IS tattcoed all over with deceit falsehood and dishonor, deceive you and play you for suckers Vote and work against him unceasingly for your own moral and material welfare ana Tor the honor of your country.

LABOR LEADER
 RESIGNS OFFICE
ACTION FOLLOWS STORMY sEs-
 SION OF EXECUTIVE BOARD OF HARTFORD CENTRAL UNION HAD ATTACKED PRIESTS.

Hartford, Sept. 6-After a stormy session of the executive board Of the Hartford Central Labor Union last night Frederick D. Barnes rendered his resignation as president. and it was accepted. The trouble is the out growth of a sensational attack upon the church, the Roman Catholic church in particular. which MT. Barnes made in speech at the Ply mouth Congregational church last Sunday evening. MT. Barnes was speaking on the subject of Labor Un- ions and the Church. He took occa- sion to especially attack the priests of the Catholic church.
 The members of the union resented MT. Barnes remarks, and last nights meeting resulted in asking for his res ignation. The resignat tion was a writ ten one in which MT. Barnes declares that he has no apologies to offer, and that he will stand by every statement he made. He says his reason for re- signing was in order to keep harmony in the labor union ranks.
 The Hartford Building Ira des Coun- cil, which is affiliated with the Central Labor Union, met last night and adopted resolutions censuring MT. Barnes for his remarks.

The first international congress of commerce was opened at Brussels, Belgium, thirty-tHo years ago today. The fifth International Congress of Chambers of Commerce, the first to be held in America, will open in Bos- ton the latter part of this month.

 The first of the series of Shakes pearian festivals in England was opened at Stratford-on-Avon1 143 years ago today, and continued three days with dramatic presentations, feasts processions, niuminations and mas querades. The festival was devised by David Garrick. These festivals have since become immensely popu- lar and the memory of the Bard of Avon is honored on an inerea singly spectacular and magnificent scale.
