The Taft delegates in the fourth Ken
lucky district seated when the Roose-
welt forces withdrew the contest are
Pitson Smith and J. Ray Bond. The
Roosevelt delegates were G. NJ. Barrett
and Jesse r. Eskridge.
The national committee was called
to order by Chairman Rosewater at

represented by proxies.
The case of Kentucky's four con-
tested delegates at large was the first
called. The committee settled down to
the hearing. without oratorical prelim-
inaries.
Ormsby McHarg made the opening
statement for the Roosevelt forces and
Judge E. c. 0 Rear, one of the two con-
testants for delegates at large, made
the argument. Only two delegates at
large seats We're contested.
Judge Rear declared he would try
to show there was deliberate plan
to carry Kentucky for the president =
against the wishes of the people and
that the plan was participated in by
the party leaders and the republican
state committee.

IN Breathitt county, he said. the re.
publicans had proceeded under the reg
ular call. The county chairman would
not call it together, SO each side put
up a chairman.
Judge O'Rear declared hundreds of
Ohio and West Virginia men had come
into Kentucky to take part in the Boyd
county convention. He said that in
other counties non-residents had come
in to participate in the convention.
Judge O'Rear argument covered not
only the state convention but the pri-
maries and convention throughout the
state. He declared conditions through
out Kentucky were such that few dis
tricts selected their delegates in &C
cordanee with popular opinion.
In the state convention, presided ov-
er by Senator Bradley, he declared the
control by the Taft forces had been Sc
cured by his seating the contested dele
cations.

from Colonel Roosevelt in the first dis
trict was about $780, said Judge o.
Rear. Gin the second district the
Taft forces saw in advance they were
outnumbered in the Dies county con-
vention and hurried to the hall and
elected Taft delegates before any one
had chance to come in
Judge O,Rear said he was opposed
to boiling but that if he had bolt
ed in Kentucky districts it would have
been OF no avil because the conventions
were being conducted by the regular
party organization.
Judge O'Rear again stated that the

Tafte forces:
"There has been talk regarding a
compromise for president. This is
merely ruse on the part of the Roose-
welt forces who realize that they will
be defeated in the convention and now
are endeavoring to break up the Taft
alignment by talking compromise.
tMr. Roosevelt said and in this /
agree with him, The compromise can
didate will be me-. That the Roosevelt
men themselves are talking compromise
tonight is the positive evidence Of the
loss Of their cause and their hope Of
creating dissension in the ranks Of
President Taft, through appealing to
the natural instinct on the part Of any
republican to avert a sharp division
of forces. But the purpose is perfect

bled.

statement is that it may be given such
currency that it also will be clear to

Ebenezer the Great.
(Hartford Post.)

The Wisest Man in the world made a speech in the lower house of Con-. gress, yesterday. which undoubtedly will be of great aid in facilitating the legislation that has been logging dur ing the present session of Congress. In his speech he criticized the demo- cratic presidential candidate for his attitude on the tariff toward labor and, so a friendly report states, "oth- CT questions Presumably, MT. Hill didn't leave poor old Dr. Wilson a leg to stand on. He also defended the Payne -Aldrich tariff bill-and heavens knows it needs defense enough-and wound up by predicting President Taft's reelection.
 Incidentally, Mr. Hill provoked the wrath of Democratic Congressman Reilly, and the two had a debate near ly as warm as the weather, but that was only incidental.
 Just how MT. HilPS speech is going to help Congress see a light, and get busy and do something, we cannot ex- plain, but of one thing we are certain and that is that it will make a per fectly corking campaign document for the republican party to circulate a little later Of course it doesn't mat ter that the Connecticut congressman took the time of Congress and his con- Sstituents-who include democrats as we'll as republicans-to play the cheap est kind of politics. We say it doesn't matter, because Connecticut has learn ed that is all it can expect from Mir. Hill despite his overpowering and more particularly. his overbearinG

may be immediately abolished. Th3 white slave traffic, as an organized commercial pursuit may be restrict ed, but the real offense, the actual polygamy, by which plurality of wives is established as a fact, in many lives, will be estopped but by the slow christening of the individuals of the race.
 Again, 2 our prohibition friends may do we'll if they enquire into the rela- tions between the actual polygamy, which has been described, and that poverty which makes marriage diff ficult at the early age when marriage is natural.
 Modern civilization does not furnish strong economic basia for the home.
 Tn other words a youth may mar ry, rear a family. and seek for enl- bloyment from the wages of which his family can be decently reared.
 The initiative and referendum, suf- frage for women and graduated in- heritance and income taxes, all of which the prohibitionists favor. will help more, perhaps, to prevent alco- holic abuses and polygamy, than the more direct measures advocated for that purpose.

CHARLES BARNUM READ


 Men say, ''He has been dead a week. = Those who knew him we'll, who were associated with him in daily business, who are at their daily work, numb, absent minded, looking for a familiar form, a, pleasant glance, a cheery smile, who are listening for theN tones of a. we'll remembered, be- loved voice, will say, 'Is it only a week?'' So great is the difference so deep the. sense of loss. When that great kings return to

 Or emperors in their pride,
 Grief of a day shall fill a day
 Because it's creature died. < But We've reckon not with those
 Whom the mere fates obtain This power that wrought on US and

 Who shall explain it. If it were only a commodityYob ob tainable in the market place and one might buy it. how great would be the demand, even at high cost. Not in any words can be expressed that, wonderful influence such a personality exerts over those who live in close association with it. his clear thinking brain; what able direction in all business affairs; what generous assistance to any who need- ed it; what loving sympathy to those in dark places. No life that was lived near his but that was the better for it. The pathetic appeal of a grief stricken lad, t'How can anybody grow like Mr. Read How does a fel- low begin,'' is perhaps the unspoken wish of many who are beyond youth.
 For those who remain, who must carry on the work of the house that bears his name, there is mingled with their grief, and the burden of empty days that stretch into the futures the comforting thought of his beautiful and unselfish life. And that he went forth before the gladness of his youth was exhausted, For there is no such pain" said an old Greek poet, "as length of life.'' And though he looks mo longer on the affairs. of this world, which are of small consequence, nor the faces of, his friends, nor the joy ous blossomfng of the fields and hills he loved so well, we count him happy in whatever gracious place he abides, keeping with us the inspiration of his life. the sincerity of his thoughts and actions, the memory of his high sense of honor and his gentle courtesies in every day life.

Hot in Washington.

CNew Haven Journal Courier)
 The weather, has been very trying in this section of the country but we now have proof that it has been more wearing on the nerves of men in Washington. Two of the COnnecti- cut scongressmen, MT. Hill of Norwa.lk and MT, Reilly of Meriden, have been exchanging naughty words with each, other on the floor of the house oyer a question of political veracity. No blows were struck but each pranced about with flashing eyes. Many of our people at home might be led to worry over this episode in the life of congress did we not take them into our confidence. These two distin- guished men did not mean anything. They were playing politics, in man ner it is true, too boisterous for my ladys parlor, but quite in accordance with the rules of modern congression- al debate. MT. Hill, whose friends de- light to call him ''Elbb' in the twilight hours. was entertaining the house with his personal views upon the sub jectsof one woodrow Wilson, his past and present, and his personal conf- dence in MT Taft's reelection. He was making the kind of speech all candidates for Tenominations and re- election make for subsequent distribu
 tion at Uncle Sam'S expense. MT. Reilly. better and more affectionately known as Tom suggested that 'tEbb'' was casting a larger vote for his favorite candidate on the floor of the house than he had previously cast at dinner of Connecticut postmast- CTS, which he addressed passionateiy and. somewhat apprehensively in be- half of the political fortunes of his favor1te candidate Denials, hot de- nials followed and the incident closed, but the flashing eyes did duty Tor few Additional moments. This is scarcely the sort of thing we approve of, but we have learned to forgive much in hot weather. Ebb and Tom belong to different parties, and each is warming ups to the work of the hustings which will claim them in a few weeks. It is their way of im- pressing upon the folks at home that they are in miniature at least fhe white mans hope It might not be a bad idea, however, for the athletic clubs of the state to book them for a series of political debates.

Where the Theory Breaks
 Down.
(Waterbury Democrat.)


 The theory of socialism as expound- ed and laid down by it's great lead CTS is based principally upon the idea of equal distribution, or in other words, social equality. To-day the so-called social democracy is not so strong in it's fight for the "idealism" !" laid down by Karl Marx, never to be realized Moreover, to-day the social ist's party is waging. it's fight chiefly against the capitalist, monopolies and corporations and would make the holdings of these capitalists municipal privileges, not private monopolles. In a word, the socialists do not believe in any one man having too much of this eartll's worldly goods, whether it be acquired by hard labor or merely accession. However, to show how weak the argument is when it strikes home and that socialists are just as susceptible to Midas touch as other poor, frail, misguided mortals, we have only to relate the following in- stance:
 ..Geneva, July 7-Emile Fischer, a poor mechanic of Chur. the capital of the Swiss canton of Grisons, has in herited $1, ,3O0,000 from an American uncle, who died recently in New Pork state. Fischer is a ralbid socialist and is treasurer of the Workmen's un- ion of Chur, His comrades hope he will spend his fortune to advance the cause of socialism. Fischer is silent on the subject
 And the chances are good that this MT Fischer will remain silent on the subject for some time to come, in fact he will seek that total oblivion so congenial to one wishing to con- ceal his whereabouts from a too obser- want and iRquisitive world. It is doubtful if the hopes of his comrades will ever Be realized, and this is where the theory of socialism breaks down, for it proves beyond a doubt that the root of socialism lies buried in man s dissatisfaction brought about by his own inability to abstract his share of wealth from the daily grind.

able distribution will be fostered.
 Votes for women will enable the women workers to demand the wages of men, and to this extent the eco- homie basis of the home will be i'm proved.
 Inheritance and income taxes will lift from the home some of the bur- dens of taxation which now unfairly rest upon it.
 It is easy to disagree with the methods of the prohibitionists, but they are the judges of what methods they will use, and they are entitled to the respect which is paid to those who honestly strive to serve their fellow men.

PROHIBITION PLATFORM

The Prohibition party has made a platform. 1t is an excellent plat form, but our brethren have set themselves aside as a peculiar people, and the doctrine they proclaim will fail of the full effect which they >ould give, working as energetically within the ranks of an established party

 There are many who believe, and upon much evidence, the injury that 7ows from alcohol. will be abated by he institutions of social justice and he abolition of poverty.
 An interesting discussion that is of the relation of poverty to alcoholism, specially for those who are entirely committed to the view that alcohol Is the main cause of poverty.
 The platform, in addition to it's blanks against intoxicants, declares for the extermination of polygamy and the suppression of the white slave traffic.
