T. R. SAYS IT
IS INFAMOUS
Denounces Use of Patronage
in Kentucky Primaries.

Pittsburgh, Pa. April 1o.-Theodore
Roosevelt was heartily welcomed hore.
A throng jammed Exposition hall to
hear his speech. The crowd was so
great that it overfiowed into another.
The colonel In his address dwelt upon
the righteousness Of the big business
nan protecting his employees. He re-
iterated his charge about "the afro
cious frauds" in New York, Indiana.
Mississippi, Missouri, and put Ken
lucky in the circle.
In his denunciation of President Taft
for the use of patronage in the Ken
lucky primaries the colonel said:
at involves conduct which would be
infamous in its intent, Mt least, and
criminal If the civil service law were
not IN the statute book. Those post
masters, according to the statement of
the former chief justice of Kentucky,
have been engaged In the lowest kind
of election frauds. have been engaged
in the effort deliberately to subvert the
will of the people, to steal from the
people their rights. No worse thing
could have been done under Tweed"
Charging that Congressman McKin-
ley had sought the aid OF an officer of
the forestry service for the presidents
campaign. the colonel shouted:
"Of course It Is quite impossible that
the national Taft bureau in its efforts
to debauch the forest service can be
acting without the cordial uDpo and
approval OF the administration"

JUDGE STILL HAS THE $50
Condition Competitors Did Not Seem
to Notice Went With Offer
of Prize.

The walking craze of few years
ago gave wellinown sporting man
an opportunity which he could not re-
sist taking advantage of. He had hand
bills widely distributed on which was
stated:
"A Great Crosby gentleman will give
$50 to the man, woman or child who
f"st succeeds in doing the following
task: To walk from the Pierhead
CIliyerpcoD to Crosby village. There
each competitor must buy a meat pie
and walk around the Big Stone and
eat It,"
About a hundred entries were re-
ceived and the walk took place on
Whit Monday. Much excitement pre-
vailed and a great cheer rose as a
local pedestrian was seen leading the
rest of the crowd. His meat pie was
soon eaten as he walked round the
stone. and he went to the Judge for
the $50.
Why" exclaimed the Judge, 81
didn't think you could have done 1t.
The stone seemed too hard to eat"
whats that go to do with it?"
asked the ped.
Everything to do with It," answer
ed the judge, "and nobody gets the
$50 till they do."-London Tit-Bits.
