POLITICAL FACTS.
Matters Of Interest to Every Citizen Of
This ConntTy.
The Trusts and RooseyeIt.

When Governor Wilson stated
that the Trusts grew and flourished
faster under his administration than
ever before in the history of the
country, Colonel Roosevelt threw
several fits and INDUCED in his
usual incorporate language in de-
nouncing the charge and the man
who made it. But Governor Wilsor
is not given to making statements
that are not supported by the facts.
Senator La Toilette, one of the
most progressive men in the Repub-
Elican party, who was ruthlessly cast
aside by Roosevelt in his inordinate
ambition to be President again,
makes the statement, after full in
vestigation, that when Roosevelt be-
came President the total amount OF
the stock and bond issues of ali
combinations and trusts, including
the railways then in combination,
was only sS,7S4,O0O,ooo When
Roosevelt turned the country over
to Taft the total capitalization OF
the trusts and combinations amount
ed to the enormous sum of $31 :
672, 900, 900. More than seventy pei
cent. of which was water. Prices
were put up on transportation Oh
the products of the mines and fac.
tories to pay interest and dividends
on this fraudulent capitalization. Nc
wonder the Trusts are favorable Z

perience that they can get all they
want with him at the head Of thu

AN ARIZONA TRAGEDY.
Louisa Roberts. Native Of Lawrence
County, Slain By Mexican.

News of a lamentable tragedy
which resulted in the death Of
Louisa. the pretty 5 year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Burnam Rob-
erts, reached their relatives in this
vicinity on Tuesday last. Mr.. and
Mrs. Roberts went to Arizona few
years ago and settled upon claim
near the town OF Stafford Near their
residence was tenant house occu-
pied by man who worked for Mr..
Roberts. This tenant had in his
employ a couple OF Mexican boys
who acted in the capacity of gin
hands for their employer. The old
est of these boys was 13 years old
On September 1S both Mr.. Roberts
and his tenant happened to be
away on business, leaving the two
Mexicans and Mrs. Roberts at their
respective homes. Mrs. Roberts was
preparing grass for some stock and
had probably failed to notice that
her two children had strolled to
the house of the tenant. She heard
the report of gun and presently
saw one of the children running to-
ward her. Mrs. Roberts ran to meet
the child, who told her that he
older boy had killed Louisa. Rush
ing into the house her Mortified
gaze rested upon the dead body OF
her child lying upon the floor. The
Mexican was arrested and lodged Ia
jail to await an investigation. TIL :
boy claims that he was sitting on a
bed handling gun, when 1t was ac-
cidentally discharged, with such
shocking results. A coroner's jury
declared in its verdict that from
the boys own story OF the tragedy
that if the weapon had been dis
charged when he was holding 1t as
he says he was the bullet could not
have struck the child. The little girl
was born near this city and was a
beautiful child. She was a grand
daughter OF Mr.. Reed Roberts, OF
Two Mile.

EIkins-short.

Saturday must be an attractive or
a convenient time for the perform
ance of nuptial rites. Note the fo,-
lowing: Mr.. Jack Short, son Of ''lit-
tie Jim" Short, and Miss Lucy Elk
ins. daughter of Buck Elkins, had
an inclination to take a stroll
along the public highway near Yates
Vile last Saturday. 1t might have
been by design or it may have been
lucky chance, but as they walked
on, probably thinking only of Jack
and Lucy, whom should they meet
but the Rev. French Rice. A brief
but very interesting conversation
ensued. Some momentous questions
were asked by the preacher. These
being answered in the affirmative,
he pronounced Mr. Short and Miss
Elkins man and wife.

over Fifty Per Cent Increase.

The report Of the Federal Bureau
of Labor, after an investigation Of
the prices for the last ten years on
fifteen Of the most important artic-
les of food shows that ten of therl
have advanced over fifty per cent in
ten years, while all have nearly so.
That is to say it costs more than
half as much more to live now than
it did a decade ago. That the in
crease is due to the tariff which in
many cases, goes to enrich the
favored interests Of the Republican
party without in many cases help
ing % pay the expenses of the gov
ernment. hardly admits of ques-
ton. A vote for the Republican or
the third party ticket is vote to
continue this unbearable state of af-
fairs. The election of Wilson and Of
a Democratic Congress means an
immediate downward revision Of the
tariff on the necessities of life and
consequent high cost of living. In
other words full bucket and a
great deal less money to fill it.

to PenltentiaIy from Boyd.

Charley Martin, who was paroled
from the penitentiary six years ago.
has been behaving badly of late. On
last Monday Henry NJ. Cox. parole
agent, went to Catlettsburg and in
vestigated the case. He found that
Martins conduct amounted to a
violation OF the conditions of his
parole and took him to the peniten-
tiary.
Martin was sent up for the muir
der OF Lazarus vinson. father OF
lanes vinson, OF this place. The
murdered man was quite old and
the object OF the crime was evident
ly robbery. The body was found un-
der railroad trestle just above Cat
lettsburg. Mr.. vinson had taken
some timber to Catlettsburg and
sold It and the murderers expected
to find considerable sum on his
person.
1t proved to be a very difficult
case to ferret out, and James Vim
son spent months at the task. CIV
ing up his entire time and means
to the work OF solving the mystery
and bringing the guilty men to the
bar of justice.
Dave Justice, who was also sent
up for life along with Martin has
remained outside of the State since
he was paroled. This was one Of
the conditions OF the parole.

Monopoly on Mud Singing.


Even if there was any desire, the
Democrats don't have to sling mud
In this campaign. The third term
ers and the Taft followers have se-
cured monopoly of it. Roosevelt,

thirgs of Taft whom he made Presi-
dent. and of whom less than two
years ago, he said, 'he is able,
upright and distinguished, and eG-
tit cd to the thanks of the Ameri-
can people for the great work he is
d6;i g" Hiram Johnson. Roosevelt's
r.inhiig mate. says that Taft is the
most humiliating character in all
American history"
The Taft speakers also engage in
vilification, and if Senator Bradley
and others omit to say anything
that is severe and derogatory of
Teddy it is only because they for
get. Senator. Bradley speaks of him
as an -'arrant demagogue," the
greatest boss in the world, mas
querading in the clothes of Billy
Bryan, which are too big for him.
and in order to win is ''plunging the
cleaning dagger of hate and malice
into his political mothers breast:s'
There is an old saying that when
thieves fall out honest men get
their dues While these political
pirates are clutching at each other
throats in this way the people will
