TAFT TAKES LAST

Smiles Confidently as He
Closes Campaign Before His
Home State Primaries.

HAMILTON OHIO. May 20-Smil-
ing iovially and apparently confident of
the verdict which Ohio will render to-
morrow in the presidential primaries,
President Taft today wound up the
campaign in his home state Leaving
Cincinnati early this morning. he made
his first speech here, holding up his
administration as one conducted in the
interest Of the people, and assaiiing
Theodore Roosevelt.

on his return to that city.
President Taft in his speech here
made manifest that the last day of the
campaign would he as telling as he

He charged that the colonel created

DISPLAY OF LUXURY
IRRITANT OF LABOR,
SAYS WRITER WELLS

LONDON. May 20.-H G. Wells. the
novelist, in an article on the labor I'M
rest pillories the indulgence in pleasure
and excitement Of the owning and ruling
classes. which, he says is one of the chief
tendencies toward revolution He says:
1.-The spectacle Of pleasure parade of
clothes. estates. motor cars luxury and
vanity in The sight Of workers is the cul-
minatbng irritant Of labor.
Mr. Wells warns his readers that this
is coming to an end, because the old ar

sible is breaking down. 1t is incumbent
upon the wealthy minority, he says, to
show greater willingness for work them
selves and demand less for their services
otherwise the insurrectonary leaders will
take the matter into their own hands.

CIV. MORSE CAN 7
Be JAILED AGAIN
Ex-ICe King, Coming Back,
Need Not Fear Atlanta Pen
for Old Crimes,

With health recovered and mind clear
Charles w Morse, the frenzied financier
who served two years in the Atlanta pen-
Tertiary, is returning from Europe to
home and to freedom. for the Federal
government has no strings on him. ac-
oordng to statements of Atlantans who
ought to kn0w
When Morse left the prison hospital al
Fort Mcpherson he seemed to be in a dy-
ing condition His friends and his doc
tors agreed that death could be only a
short distance away. But he went to Eu-
rope, took the baths at Carlsbad and
dwelt in the sunshine of Italy and Egypt.
Now he is returning TO New York and will
again jump into the financial game
The news that he would return brought
up the question of whether or not he could
be re- jailed
This query was answered definitely to-
day by Warden Meyer, of the United
States prison.
THE order issued by the president on
January IS setting Morse free was a COM
mutation of sentence and not a pardon, +"
said Mr. Mover. 1.-The Communication was
fixed at Morse's service on January Is and
took effect instantly
1T differed from pardon in that it did
not restore Morse to full citizenship, but
it set Morse absolutely free. The federal
government has no strings on him. He
can go and come as he pleases."
1t will he remembered that the question
of citizenship arose shortly after Morse
was freed and according TO the best in
formation, is still being debated Morse
was convicted of offenses, which under
revised federal statutes, are misdemean-
ors. and theoretically he did not lose his
citizenship by his conviction However,
the line between felony and misdemeanor
under certain federal laws is said to be
so indefinite that the question is one that
will have to go to the courts.

CONTRACT FOR REPAIR

Tenn, has been let. The bids were
opened in Memphis by the Govern
ment engineers, and c. T. Bondu-
rant, of this city, being the lowest
bidder, received the contract. There
are 100000 cubic yards Of dirt to
be handled, and the contract price
is to be $49,940, the work to be
completed by January 1, 1918, or
sooner

year, especially if Mr.. Roosevelt is
the nominee of the Republicans, as
it seems he is quite likely to be.
The three Presidential campaigns
in which Mr.. Bryan was a candi-
date resulted as follows: In 1896
he polled 6,5O2,925 votes to Mr..
McKinley's 7,104,779. In 1900 he
polled 6,35S,1SS votes to Mr.. Nc
Kinley's 7,2O7.923. In 1908 he
polled 6,4O9,1O4 votes to Mr.. Taft's
7,67S,90S. Whether these past re-
suits would cut any figure in pres
ent very much changed conditions,
remains to be seen.

II is the opinion of those who
have studied the subject that the
recently enacted law in Kentucky
which provides for the execution of
criminals in the electric chair, has
greatly increased the number of
convictions throughout the State.
This on account of the fact that the
doomed man is sent away to the
electric chair to be executed, thus
relieving his home county of the
odium and it's officials of the dis
tasteful job of hanging him. In all
justice to the accused, this should
not be the case. He is either guilty
or not guilty and he either
deserves to die or he does not, with
out any maudlin sentiment enter
ing into the matter.

THE K. ?. A. MEETING.

one OF the most eHJoSd awe anu
we'll attended annual meetings OF
the Kentucky Press Association was
that held at Olympian Springs,
Bath county, last week, beginning
Monday and ending Friday.
A twenty minutes drive south
ward over good turnpike road
from Olympia, station on the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad,
through a region laden with the
odor of the pine, brings the traveller
to these famous Springs.
There, nesting in a beautiful
valley of some six hundred acres,
surrounded by lofty hills covered
with primeval giant growth of pine
and oak, seven distinct mineral
springs pour out their life-giving,
health-renewing waters.
AS early as 1906 we find in the
old Kentucky Gazette" a notice
that Aaron Burr, then probably
deep in his scheme of western en-
pire with Blennerhassett, was en-
route to this charming spot.
A few years later Henry Clay be-
came interested in these Springs,
and there every summer for many
years found rest, recuperation and
social pleasure in its quiet sur
roundings, and meditated upon such
perpleXing problems of State as the
Missouri Compromise and other
no less difficult questions of state
craft, which he solved with consum-
mate ability.
There is a tall elm tree standing
in the large shady grove, near the
electrical power house of the
Springs, which has a rather inter
esting history. 1t is called the Hen
ry Clay Elm, and the legend goes
that Mr. Clay, then principal owner
of the premises, used to enjoy
many games of quiet draw" with
friends under its wide spreading
branches. 1t is related that on one
occasion he ran short Of the neces-
sary cash to back a mighty fine

to hold, and so sure was he it was

cards changed the ownership of this
now famous property.

which is under the management of
Mr.. and Mrs. William NJ. O'Neal.
The c. & o. Railroad, which is
one of the finest and best equipped
lines running out of Louisville or
anywhere in Kentucky, placed the
! members of the Association under
lasting obligations by courtesies
and passage extended over it's line
to the meeting. 1t is a splendid
road, with fine connections, and
we'll deserves the excellent patron
age which it receives.
Besides the hotel proper at the

features are the dozens OF neat

FROM The PEOPLE EACH YEAR
In the Way of Extortionate
Profits on Their I'm

STEEL TRUST BIG OFFENDER
(By Clyde H. Tavenner.)

Washington, June ia thous.
and million dollars year!
This is the amount that the pro-
tected industries wiring from the
American people over and above a
fair profit on money actually invest
ed, according to an estimate made
by United States Senator Gilbert NJ.
Hitchcock, of Nebraska. And SEN
ator Hitchcock has never been
charged with making wild state
ments impossible of substantiation
81 believe it is within reason to
say" said Senator Hitchcock, at the
conclusion of a speech he made on
the subject, that a careful eXami-
nation of the profits from all classes
of privileged wealth in the United
States would reveal that the pro-
tected industries of this country ex-
act from the people, over and above
a fair profit, approximately thous-
and millions of dollars year. The
fact that these industries have a
monopoly, granted them through
our laws, enables them to do this. "
Senator Hitchcock's speech fairly
hristled - with figures, --- taken from
the most reliable and authentic
sources, to back each of his detailed
statements.
The Steel Trust alone gets $780,
100000 annually in excess of fair
profit. This monopoly does an an
nual business Of three thousand
million dollars, and it is admitted
that without the tariff on steel, that
trust would have to sell its products
at ten per cent less than it now
charges, and ten per cent of three
thousand millions is three hundred
millions. Every man, woman and
child of the ninety-two millions in
this country, then, pays an annual
tribute OF $3.50 to the Steel Trust,
over and above what they would
have to pay If there were no tariff
on steel.
What is the effect of this extor-
ton? One effect has been TO Gre
ate a horde of mushroom million
aires. Another effect has been a
gradual Capitalization of the wealth
of the nation in the hands of a few,
with a corresponding intensity in
H. ..r,,urlo for ayictapna amOnQ
the masses. Still another effect is
seen in the constantly increasing
number of strikes. Within the last
rs years there have been &c.,
strikes in this country, most of
them for higher wages. These
strikes have involved a total of g.
100000 workers, who, with their
wives and children, were driven to
suffering and desperation.
While the Steel Trust OF this
country enjoys a complete monop-
oily, due to the tariff, it finds time
to compete with other nations for
steel trade. Last year the steel
makers of this country sold $780,
100000 worth of steel abroad,
which proves conclusively that the
tariff on steel is not needed, and
that it is simply an artificial bar
rier put up to enable the trust to
gouge profits out of the American
consumer.
And in the meantime, the Dem
ocratic bill to lower the steel tariff,
having passed the House, lies in the
Republican Senate, still Enacted
upon.

Let it be remembered by those
who would criticise our Congress

months, because it has not enacted
more Democratic legislation, that
the Republicans control the Senate,
which must concur in measures

both agree on same, before they can
be enacted into law. Several worthy
measures have been passed by the

by the Senate or so amended as to
make them unacceptable in the
