EX.POLICEMEN ARE STILL BUSY


For further proof of the conten-
tion of the Kentucky Irish American
the past couple of weeks that the
local Progressive organ, the Louis.
Vile Herald. was iajuring the good
name of the city in innumerable
ways and hurting local business by
frightening prospective buyers away
from here, the following clipping is
taken from the New Haven Echo,
published at New Haven, and one of
the most influential papers in the
Fourth district:
'Does the Louisville Herald and
the Louisville Post consider it safe
for people on the outside to visit
that city? This is the question that
is confronting the people on the out
side that peruse these papers. Can
lady from the country walk the
streets of that city without being in
suited and beat up by some burly
policeman? These are questions VIC
would like to know, for our ladies go
to the city some times, and we want
to warn them to stay away until
with safety. We had hardly be-
lieyed the Falls City as bad as it is
painted by it's own papers, but they
are in a better position to know
about il than we are, and If AL they
say is true Louisville is a good place
to avoid. Or is all this exposure
mere political buncombe to put their
ticket over in the coming election?
II so, truly the good and progressive
people of that city are TO be pitied." ="
The above shows the damage be-
ing done by our anti-Louisville pa
Ders, the Herald especially, which
inaugurated these wild stories OF
near burglaries and invoked the aid
of ex-Chief Haager's detective
agency and several ex-policemen to
spy on the present police depart
ment, and by the way, these same
eA-police wouldn't have been "ex's"
today II they had been sober and
faithful in the discharge OF their
duties.
The trials in the Circuit Court
during the past several days have
awakened the general public to the
class of men comprising the Pro-
gressive party, their methods of
securing names to petitions, resort
ing to forgery even, not being con-
sistent with the high sounding Pro-
gressive platitudes Of the Herald,
which would have us believe that
the morals of the community were
confined to the cast-off Republicans,
A. p. AS and down-and-outers, who
comprise the Bull Moose party To-
cally. II f. even rumored that
forgery was perpetrated In the
select petition published In the Her
aid of the men on the tobacco
breaks, who indorsed Axton, the
machine candidate. In addition. one
Of the signers stated 70 repre-
sentative of this paper that many OF
the signers were indignant that
Axton used the Endorsement for cam
paign purposes, and that it was only
intended as an expression OF regard
from business standpoint as sort
OF balm 10 his wounded feelings from
the attacks he is receiving on all
sides. and especially from the Reich
ert camp.
The expose OF the methods used In
trying TO dig up matter against the
administration in these columns last
week must have had some effect, ex-
Chief Haager having gone to Pan
anna, while the contractors, who
waxed fat during former admlnistra-
tions. but who are now "agin the
government" have grown very
passive and are not at present nos.
