Endorse the Administration.

When the Democrats of Bourbon
county meet. in Mass Convention on
tomorrow May Is, it should be
their duty in this convention to en-
dorse the present administration of
State affairs. The principal issue at
this convention will be the selection
and instruction of delegates to the
Louisville convention.
Little interest has been taken in the
convention in this county but the wave
of public sent iment and support
seems at the present time to be strong
ly in favor of Champ:Clark and it is
more than probable that the Bourbon
delegation will be so Instructed.
Whether Bourbon county should cast
it's vote tor Clark or any other of the
candidates mentioned for the nomi-
nation the endorsement of the State
administration should not be overlook
ed. and it is with this purpose in view
that the News calls the attention. of
the voters to the fact.
Four years ago Kentucky went
Republican by majority of $4,000 and
at the last election3 it was returned to
the Democratic foal by a majority in
excess of thirty one thousand. The
present administration lead the party
to victory and it was through their
efforts that Republican rule was set
aside. The men who put up money for
the campaign and conducted an untir-
ing canvas should be- entitled to some
consideration and it behooves every
Democrat who has a vote in the con-
vention- Saturday to cast it for
resolution commencing the admins
tration.
There has been considerable discord
in the party here of late eminating
from conditions which existed in the
Democatic ranks. Some few have
sought to wrest the laurels for the
great victory achieved last November,
from those to whom they rightfully be-
long and assuming control will
eventually lead the party to ruin.
Harmony should txsIst whe discord
now prevails.

How He Loves the Farmer

In his travels about the country Mr..

to tell the farmers of his affectionate
regard for them. During his term in

Favorite Author and Mr.. Roosevelt
often said it was the best picture he
ever saw.
The harvester trust, which annually
takes millions of dollars from the far
mer. sells binders in Russia and South
America for $50, and the farmers of
the United States are charged $120
for the self-same binder. During the
Roosevelt regime an effort was made
to break up this trust, which so rankly
discriminates against and overcharges
the American farmer. and MIR. Roose-
welt secretly suppressed that effort
by ordering hIs..Attorney General not
to start contemplated suit until he
gave the word, which he never gave.
Mr.. Roosevelt thus aided and abetted
the one trust which, more than all
others combined. robs land plumbers

Portland, Aug. 26.-Thomas r. Mar
shall, in his first political address since
accepting the Democratic nomination
for the vice-presidency before the
Democratic mass meeting tonight, con-
demned the protective tariff system.
The governor confined his speech to
what he termed national issues.
In summing up his conclusions the
speaker asked:
why must the consumer always be
the goat? believe IN vested rights
but 1 don't believe in vested wrongs.
I don't particularly censure the manu-
kacturers for getting All they can, but
/ contend that the proof Of the iniquity
is so plain that the blame Is the peo-
ple's.''
In part Governor Marshall said:
TT Is idle for some men to make
declarations. Broken promises are oft
times more eloquent than their words.
WHO is going to believe the regu-
lar Republican organization when 1t
declares that it is opposed to special
privilege?
Does any one doubt that for seven
and one-half years the leader Of the
Progressive party was in power in this
country? Can any one PUT his finger
upon a single effort made by him to
curb the monopoIistic tendency which
was then rampant? Does any one be-
lieve that his new platform. which
stands both for socialism and for a
anything more than bid for votes?
LAWS NOT ENFORCED.
eff there are laws to eliminate
special privilege, the Republicans did
not enforce them: If there are no eff
fective laws, they failed to enact ef-
fective ones; if conditions are such as
to prevent proper control, they became
so under their responsibility.
Il do not address myself to the man
who is satisfied with the statement
that we are the richest people in the
more rich men in America than in any
other country he is correct, but If he
implies that the natural and acquired
wealth OF America has been fairly and
honestly distributed among the people,
he Is altogether wrong.
IF 1t is unequally distributed, free
people has the power to correct the
evils which permit or causes unequal
distribution; if they do not correct
them they ought to cease growing
about them.
Il have lived long enough to follow
the changing reasons advanced for the
high protective tariff. I have found
them all to be shifty, uncertain and
dishonorable. First, 1t was to pay off
the war debt by compelling the for
eign manufacturer to contribute to
the United States treasury; before it
was to foster our infant industries,
then to protect American labor against
the pauper labor Of Europe; and final
ly in the last campaign to equalize the
cost Of production at home and abroad.
At last the frank statement was made
that the government proposed to take
It's manufactures into partnership
with it and that this partnership was
proposing to sell to the consumers of
this country all the necessities of life

Made Fortune
By Speculation
While Prisoner
~ Assoclated Presa.

New York, Aug. 26.-Joseph c.
Robin, who is in the Tombs awaiting
sentence on his conviction for grand
larceny in connection with the wreck
ing Of the Northern bank, is said to
have made another fortune through
speculation, which he carried on while
a prisoner.
Robin, 1t was thought, could furnish
valuable information in the case pend
ing against former City Chamberlain
Hyde, so the former president Of the
Northern bank was not sentenced
after his conviction, but was kept in
the Tombs and during the day time,
1t is reported, he occupied a room In
the criminal courts building which is
equipped with telephone and type
writer. Here it is said he has rebuilt
his wrecked fortune.

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-Mrs. Ger
trude Atherton, the well-known nove-
list, is making stump speeches in Cali
fornia in behalf of the candidacy of
Woodrow Wilson. The writer, whose
ideal of American craftsmanship
heretofore has been Alexander Hamil-
ton, the first "reactionary," says that
Wilson is the hope of democracy.
THE Roosevelt movement is re-
ferred to as a religious crusade" de-
clares Mrs. Atherton. ITO me 1t seems
viva1.''
Although Mrs. Atherton attacks the
ex-president in her speeches, she ad-
mits that she has a sneaking liking
for him because he is 100 per cent
male"
Seventy years ago Charlotte Bronte
invented Roosevelt in the character
of Rochester, said Mrs. Atherton in a
recent address in this city. "Since
that time women have loved Roches-
ter, the man who was 100 per cent
male. 1 confess that I have a sneak
ing affection for the type. Rochester
was a colossal buffer, the self suffi-
cient man. Roosevelt is Of that sort
Woodrow Wilson is man who al
ways exercises self-control. He will
never be found acting like a bull
moose. It will never be possible to
call Woodrow Wilson Woody as
Roosevelt is called Teddy
"I confess that cannot see much
difference in the personal platforms
Of Wilson and Roosevelt, save that

one was red and the other beloved.
Roosevelt throws off epigrams and be-
tween them are sentences that mean
nothing. 1 have never heard or seen
a sentence Of Wilson's that was not
packed with thought.
Roosevelt, If 1 may use a vulgar
ism, is given to shooting off his mouth,
or I might say, his teeth.
Roosevelt in his platform promises
to improve the conditions of labor
think that it ever occurred to anybody
practically nothing to improve the
the need of legislation In the matter
of the white slave traffic appealed to
so virtuous a man as Mr.. Roosevelt
He was too sheltered, especially in
his family life, to know about such
things. While he was president chill
dren were working 16 and IL hours a
day in the southern factories, but he
did nothing in the matter then.
Recently Mr.. Roosevelt has burst
out for suffrage. Wilson is opposed to
suffrage and is too honest to say that
he is for it. He has a few old fash
ioned prejudices. But the best way
to correct them Is to vote for Wilson
and convince him by that means that
suffrage is a good thing"
Mrs. Atherton said that before
Roosevelt's platform was made public
he said that it would be denounced as
socialistic and IAnarchistic, but she
said she had failed to discover any
thing to that effect in IL.

Col. Wilson began serving his sen-
tenca on August %, 1911. He was
taken to New York last May By orIe CT
the prison guards to testify in the
bankruptcy proceecings instituted
against the United Wireless Company.
Several postponements of the case ne
cessitated his being held in New York
for more than month and it became
known that the guarG was allowing
him a deal of personal liberty during
that period. Instead OF being kept in
the Tombs he was permitted to stay
in private house. On one occasion.
1t is said, he was seen near his former
haunts in Wall street.
The department of Justice took notice
Of these reports and instituted an in
vestigation. As a result. the guard
was dismissed and early last month
