A few years ago the shattered and
disheartened remnant of a Democratic
organization was rallied by the cOUr'
age, patriotism and the craftsmanship
of that indomitable little giant, Tom
Marshall. The Democracy of the Union
watched with intense and breathless
interest the great fight he waged
against Republicanism, intrenched in
power for years and blatant in its in
solent defiance. This hatred of cor
porate oppression, his insistent de.
mand for reform, his clean life and his
transparent honesty, maddened the
malevolent soul of Richard W. Knott.
Not content with defaming his own

Scathing Denunciation.

With keen shafts and rapier thrusts
Mr.. Stanley went after his opponent.
Gov. J. c. w. Beckham and his aides,
Percy Haly and Sam J. Shdckelford,
but he reached the climax in his de-
nunciation of Richard w. Knott, editor
of the Louisville Evening Post, as po-
litical renegade and harlot, who exert
ed a communicating influence political
ly, socially and morally, and whose
relentless hate l wear as a badge of
honor" For scathing denunciation
nothing like it was ever heard in Lou
isville and the vast crowd roared its
approval as he fired every shaft home.
Mr.. Stanley pilloried Beckham for
his alliance with Knot, whom he char
.erized as having condoned the as
8 ssina;ion of Gov. William Goebel and
had venomously assailed Democratic
nominees. This is the vile sheet"
said he, that has the insufferable i'm
puGence to dictate to the Democrats of
Kentucky whom they shall choose as

introduced BY Judge Edwards.

The meeting was presided over by
Judge James P. Edwards, who intro
duced Mr.. Stanley. This splendid
audience shows the handwriting on the
wall" was Judge Edwards opening
sentence. He congratulated the Dem
ocratic party on its splendid admins
tration of national and State affairs,
and its ability to do things under the
matchless leadership of a Woodrow
Wilson. He congratulated the Demo
Gratis of Kentucky on having such a
candidate for United States Senator
as Augustus Owsley Stanley, who
stands for every principle advocated
by President Wilson and the National
Democratic platform. Judge Edwards
referred to the era of machine rule"
that was the chief characteristic of
the "Beckham regime" and he paid
his respects to Beckham, whose chief
mouthpiece now was the "traitorous
Louisville Post"

Freedom of Kentucky.

We loudly proclaim this a Govern
ment of and for and by the people. Is
it such a Government here in Ken
lucky at this hour? Do the people of
Kentucky exercise the actual control
of their own affairs?
The mere right to elect your Off
cials, if it stops there, is not sufficient
to constitute you free people, or this
a free Government
The Roman Emperors were all
elected. Tiberius, Caracalla or Nero
could not have been more monstrous
they were elected.
ITO be free people must do some
thing more than elect officials. Those
| officials must, when elected, act
through and for the people, whose
servants they are.
For that reason the members of the
Legislature and of Congress are called
representatives. They should be in
very deed the willing and responsive
medium through whom a sovereign
people exercise their inherent author
ity.
Now, what have you TO do with the
writing Of the law which governs you?
That law you must obey; violate the
State or Federal statutes and you lose
your liberty, your property or your life.
What have you to do with the writing
3 of those rules of conduct that touch
you so nearly and upon which your
liberty, your life and your property
depend?
"A Legislature has but recently ad-
journed in the city of Frankfort. Had
any citizen here appeared in the gal
leTies OF that body and objected TO the
passage of any bill then pending, he
would haze been ordered out OF the
{ House. Had he interrupted when the
/ Federal Congress was considering
some measure, he would probably have
! landed in jail.
IF the citizen has no voice in the
actual writing of the law, what part,
after all, has he in this so-called free
| government? He can participate in its
| operation in one way only, that is by
| having him who proposes to write or
| to execute the law to take the people
/ into his confidence, tell them in ad-
vance candidly and courageously his
position upon all public questions, and
| let them know exactly what he pro-
poses to do, if intrusted with the high
honors and stern obligations of a leg
| islator.
IF the electors approve of his pol
icies, if they desire to have him do the
/ things which he proposes, then they
commission him as their agent, their
attorney, in fact, their actual repre-
| sentative, to write the laws for them.
/ There, as a Senator from Kentucky,
! he writes with the hand of 100000
Democrats; he speaks with the voice
| of 100000 people.

Full Text of StanIey's Speech.

Mr. Stanley's speech, which will
well bear perusal, is in full as fol-
lows:
You are assembled here on the eve
of the exercise of a priceless privi-
iege," began Mr.. Stanley. Vested
with absolute and sovereign power,
you sit in judgment upon the fitness
of your public servants-a high tribu-
nal, from whose decision there is no
appeal. Learned judges, members of
Congress, who aspire to posts of honor
or distinction, must come to you, like
a blind beggar with a cup.
This is the only land, and you are
the only people, where such a measure
of liberty was ever enjoyed by the
citizen.
During 1000 years and more of
Christian and Pagan civilization men
accepted, without protest, the mon.
strous political heresy that one man
was born to be a king and another
destined from his birth to be a vassal
or slave. That all power and all au-
thority, liberty itself, is enjoyed by the
grace of some royal grant came trick.

Where Does He Stand?

Charging Beckham with cowardice
on the wet" and dry" question and
playing the DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
role on this issue as the eXigencies OF
the situation demanded, Mr.. Stanley
demanded that Beckham come out in
the open and declare TO the people of
Kentucky whether or not he favored
nationwide prohibition or Statewide
prohibition, or both.
Alr. Stanley was greeted with a
rousing ovation when he entered the
theater and the demonstration lasted

Forest Fires Harm
the Soil Fertility

A definite relation between the amount
OF a1umus, or vegetable matter in the
soil. and its crop-producing power as
shown by yields of corn, is given In fig
ures just issued by the department of
agriculture. The department therefore
advocates the use of various methods to
introduce the required humus into the
soil.
Experts Of the forest service state that
the soils of the whole country, and par
ticularly of the south, have lost and are
losing immense amounts of this source
of soil fertility through forest fires which
apparently do little immediate damage
but rob the soil of accumulations of
humus. In many parts of the south, land
Is being cleared for farming, and where
such forest land has not been burned,
there is large percentage of vegetable
matter, which provides considerable fer
tility, and good texture. Moreover this
soil has a greater capacity to absorb
and retain moisture, and thus is less
likely to be washed and quilted under
heavy rains. For these reasons, leaving
out of account the damage to standing
timber, the departments authorities are
agreed that fire should be rigidly kept
out of woodlands.

SURE TO RELIEVE
ITCHING ECZEMA

Any breaking out or irritation on tile
face, arms, legs or body when accom-
panied by itching. or when the skin is
dry and feverish, can be readily over
come by applying little bold sulphur
cream, says a noted dermatologist..
He informs us that bold-sulphur in
stantly allays the angry itching and
irritation and soothes and heals the
Eczema right up. leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Bold-sulphur has occu-
pied secure position for many years
in the treatment of cutaneous disor-
ders because OF its parasite destroying
property. Nothing has ever been found
to take its place In treating the irri-
table and infiammatory skin affections.
While not always establishing a per-
manent cure 1t never fails to subdue
the itching irritation and drive the Ec-
zer1la away and 1t Is often years later
before any eruption again appears on
the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce OF bold-sulphur
cream which Is applied to the affected
parts in the same manner az an ordi-
nary cold cream. 1t isn't unpleasant
and the prompt relief afforded, partic-
ularly in itching Eczema, proves very
welcome.-Adv.

MASONRY IN WAR TIMES.
Past Master Blackman Recounts His
tory Before Putnam Lodge, Boston.

Boston, May ia glimpse of Free
masonry in the Civil War was given
by Past Master William r. Blackman
at the communication of Putnam
Lodge last night, and a vote of thanks
was rendered him by Worshipful Mas
ter Joseph A. Lincoln. An interested
visitor was Past Master Thomas T.
Tabor of Rising Virtue Lodge of Ban
gor Past Masters Charles H. Atwood
and John c. Billiard of Putnam Lodge
We're also in the company.
Mr. Blackman went TO the front with
a Maine regiment July Is, 1861, and
was mustered out in May 1865. He OBJ
taired THROUGH and went home to
Machias in 1864, and became enrolled
in Warren Lodge there. He was at
pahannock, and throughout the war
never received scratch. How near
he came to death was wildly illustrate
ed when, after one severe engagement,
he found five bullets in his aocoutre-
ments. His descriptions of war scenes
were thrilling.
There were about so members of the
craft in his regiment and one lodge in
the Army of the Potomac. He related
that one time he and a companion
rode 10 miles to Rappahannock station
for the purpose of attending lodge
meeting, but were so delayed on the
road that they arrived too late.
Gu his removal to Cambridge he at
filiated with Putnam Lodge and pre-
sided over it in 1896 and 1897.

peace. He has become a popular hero.
The Urrutia incident has served to
demonstrate in a striking manner the
widespread anti-Huerta sentiment in
Vera Cruz. Most fugitives from the
capital are welcomed by the residents
of Vera Cruz, but they found 1t diff
ficult to separate Urrutla from the
Huerta regime Notwithstanding the
public droppin gof the man by the
Provisional President.
Why it would appear that they
think l am still working for Huerta,
said the fugitive, as he paced up ana
down his room, in front of his wife,
whose eyes were red with weeping.
They refuse to believe that /, too,
am in danger of my life from that
man. Some of them think / am down
here on some sort of secret mission for
Huerta and others, that l am here
conniving at some plot or other with
the rebels.
Il assure you that / am doing Meth
er. 1 am trying to get away from
scenes and situations that have
grown hateful to me and which are
blotting the record of my country.
Not since the 10th or September
have l had anything to do with the
government and only once in all that
tirne have I seen Huerta.
Urrutia referred to an incident at
dinner at Chapultepes last fall, when
Ouerido Moheno and Jose Maria -Lo-
Zano, members of Huerta's cabinet,
drank to the health of Huerta, styling
him as the modern Napoleon and
lauding him as being even greater than
the Corsican.
At that time DIR. Urrutia says. he
stood before the President and oppos-
ed the idea of placing a halo about
the head of Huerta, telling him that
on tire day he resigned and opened
the way for true democracy in which
Indians such as you and l." might
participate he indeed would be great.
The President rebuked and Moheno
ana Lozano saying his friend, Urru-
tia, had uttered the sentiment most
pleasing to him.
"And that sentiment is one 7 yet
hold" declaring DR.. Urrutia. Il am
not in accord with the administration,
it's plan nor policy, and have openly
told the President SO, and yet they
accuse me of intriguing for him.
DR. Urrutia expects to sail on the
steamer Ypiranga. Should the demon
strations against him continue, he will
be afforded refuge on the cruiser
Prairie until the Ppiranga sails.
Several residents of Vera Cruz
have forwarded to the Constitutional
list junta at Washington, a petition
that it use its%infiuenee with the state
department to have DR.. Urruia held
until there is a nopportunity to pre-
fer charges against him for his many
