that awaits one, who, having
signed, fails to keep the pledge.
The argument is made that the
law prohibits the use of money in
an election for wrongful purposes.
and that the presumption is that
a man will obey the law. The
statement of, the law is correct
but the presumption is a violent
one. In fact the presumption
will be that without the pledge,
men will go on in the same old
rut and buy all the votes they
can. The bribery law has always
been a dead letter statute. It will
continue to be such. Hence the
necessity for the pledge. Take
it boys and keep it, too. ~

William Collins Killed

A difficulty arose between Viii
liam Collins and Leander West of
Estill county which they settled
with pistols. Collins is dead.
The fight occurred at the Cow
Creek church in Estill county.
Mr.. Collins was a farmer living
near the church and Mr.. West
was a railroad laborer.
The proof brought out at the
examining trail of West, which
was held at Irvine, differed con-
siderably. 1t appears that they
fought willingly and is unsettled
which drew his gun first. At any
rate the presiding Judge thought
that the case would merit further
examination and held the defend
ant over in the sum of $15OO.OO.

Ben Johnson Speaks

Congressman Ben Johnson
spoke at the memorial exercises
at Washington and startled his
audience by saying that he was
not in sympathy with reunions of
that kind. He said that he had
forgiven the Federals for their
invasion of the South but that he
could go no further.
Queer man, that man Johnson.
If he has forgiven the past, he
should be in sympathy with the
decoration of the graves of the
veterans. Memorial day is OBJ
served the world over. On this
day there is no North, no South,
no East nor West, but all unite in
aSolemn commemoration of their
soldier dead. 1t is a day when
the heart of the Nation beats in
sweet sympathy for the veterans
of both sides who gave their life
for their principles.
Long may this day be COM
memorated over the entire coun.
try.

week and stopped in front of a

ed and entered the building. No
one paid any attention to her.
She asked twice if the party could
be accommodated and no one
answered her inquiries.
Leaving the room, she told her
father that they could not be
accommodated. The party then
drove to a hotel and had dinner.
Now there is a restaurateur in
Baltimore who has ordered a kick
ing machine.
But why did Miss Wilson ex.
pect a waiter at a restaurant to
answer her?

A female under the age of six
teen years cannot consent to her
deflement. The county from
which she is taken, has jurisdic-
ton to try the wrongdoer. Moth
ing can be clearer than this.
The Kentucky Legislature at
its session of 1912 adopted the
following law:
THAT any person who shall admit to
their house or who shall take or direct to
any house, for the purpose of prostitution
or lewdness, any female under the age of
sixteen years (16) shall be deemed guilty
of felony and upon conviction thereof be
confined in the penitentiary for a period
of not less than one year nor more than
five years" Approved by the Governor
March Ia, 1912.
An effort will be made at the
next session of the Legislature to
have the age of consent raised to
Fl years.

A paper which came to our
exchange table last week had
only seven inches of local news
matter in it. All the rest of the
paper was filled with paid adver-
tiSementS.
Verify the papers are digging
their own graves. No wonder
that the people are taking the
city dailies and weeklies. They
have to do so to get the news.
We invite you to examine the
news columns of the Madisonian.
We are more convinced that our
plan is right and that it will fin
ally win out.

SIGN, Mr.. CANDIDATE!

The County Committee, in
response to general demand by
the honest and intelligent voters
of the county adopted resolutions
looking to a clean primary cleo
ton in the county on the End
day of August.
The Madisonian has stood
squarely for this all the time.
Better methods must be put in
operation in order to give honesty
and intelligence a chance against
Mr.. Bill Dollar.
The Committee will meet again
to give the candidates an oppor.

The eighth wonder of the world
is undoubtedly wireless teleg-
raphy. How this wonderful
signal can be flashed over sea
and land, surpasses the under
standing. While we can not
understand it and for this reason
we call it a wonder, it is in active
operation daily. Only few days
ago this signal was flashed to the
high seas and one thousand souls
were saved by it. When the
steamer Haveford struck rocks
near Queenstown and was sink
ing, aid was procured by the use
of wireless telegraphy and when
the last man was taken off the
boat, water was fifteen feet deep
in the same.
The name of the inventor,
Marconi, seems to be losing con-
nection with the system. 1t is
just as easy to say marconigram
as to say telegram and it should
be done. S. 0. S. means nothing
to the ordinary mind. The letters

PURITY IN ELECTIONS

The following is taken from
the Central Record:
The Mass meeting called at the court
house on last Saturday afternoon drew a
good crowd of people interested in the
movement for the purifying of the ballots.
and those who have been circulating the
petitions report great success and large
number of names secured, and several
interesting talks were heard. 1t was
unanimously decided to continue the
movement to the end of accomplishing
the purpose for which the movement was
started.

OUR TARIFF BUILDERS


The Underwood tariff bill which
was put through the House by
the lash of the administration, is
having rough sailing in the Sen
ate. The President has pro.
claimed to the world that one of
the largest lobbies ever assembled,
was in the city of Washington to
fight the bill. This declaration is
so strong that the House and
Senate have demanded an inves-
tigation of the truth of the report.
We all know in advance what
the action on this investigation
will be. Either there will be no
report at all or it will be a white
wash. The Senators and the
Representatives are not very
quick in discovering the presence
of men who have come to influ-
ence them.
Every man, except the mem
bers of Congress, knows that the
President is right in his declara-
ton. Dollars are at stake and
the men who have been garnering
the dollars from the miserieS of
the people, will not give up their
profitable employment without a
struggle. Nor will legitimate
business interests sit still and
allow their business ruined, if,
indeed, the provisions of the tariff
will have that effect. That they
have a right to demonstrate to
Congress that the pending bill is
inimical to their interests no man
will dispute, if it is true that the
bill is erroneous. And when did
a mere Congress become infal-
lible? When and by what means
did a handful of men in commits
sion as congressman, get a mon
opoly of brains? And why should
debate of important measure be
cut off Why railroad it through?
WhV not let legitimate business
be heard?
We have heretofore said that
when the matter has been
thoroughly discussed and the in
telligence of the country has been
heard, then congress should not
allow long winded debates made
for the express purpose of delay.
To this position we adhere and
emphasize it.
The tariff bill prepared is a
radical bill. 1t disturbs fixed
values and values that are fixed
by existing laws. To pass the
proposed measure without reason
able discussion, is as senseless as
firing gun Unfortunately into
an assembled crowd in the hope
that it will kill all the felons,
who, perchance, may be there.
The President will find that he
can not bull doze the Senate.
Neither can he lash it into
obedience to his commands. But
the people will afford him what
ever support they can give. They
admire him for his efforts in their
behalf. If the policies proposed
by him are sound, they will bear
a careful examination. 1t is fresh
in the memory of the people that
Presidant Wilson while a candi
date promised moderation in
changing the tariff.
