1t is question if strike ever ac-
complished any good for labor or not,
aside from demonstrating the serength
of an organization. But, that they
have accomplished much harm, there
lisnt any doubt. Violence, murder,
the destruction of property, and many
iother crimes, have marked the strike
ltrails through all the mining sections
OF the West, and these have served 10
disgrace and condemn such strikes.
Not only that, but millions of dollars
have ben lost to the striking miners
through enforced idleness. Independ-
ent has always been in favor of in
telligent organization, but until the
'labor organizations oust from the
ranks two classes of members, they
will continue to reap harmful instead
of beneficial results. These two
lclasses are: First, the hot-headed.
irresponsible leader agitators, and
second, the cut-throats who have made
every big strike holocaust of proper
ty and life. Get to running your labor
unions with brains, instead of daggers
Iand torches, and better results will
follow.

be rather simple after the accents
were mastered, was it not that so
many words sounding alike have a
different meaning. The lower case ~

The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1914-10-28

Burton Vance, Progressive
nominee for United States Sen
ate, has received a letter from
ex-President Roosevelt in which
he vigorously denounces those
who pretend to be his friends but
are going to vote the Republican
ticket this Fall. He makes plain
that this is a fight for principle
and that the Republican party
can never hope to hold, or de-
serve, the support of the people
until it rids itself of the unscrup-
uous leaders and corrupt bosses
that have brought disaster upon
it. In expressing his regrets
that he will not be able to make
any speeches in Kentucky, Pres
ident Roosevelt appeals to every
friend that he has in this state
to vote for Burton Vance for the
senate, and show to the people
that Kentucky refuses to ally it.
self with the Republican party.
Governor Wilson never fails to
proclaim his friendship for Mr..
Roosevelt, but the eX-President
has rejected these overtures and
has notified his followers that
the only way to make their party
felt in politics is to defeat the
Republican nominees.

The largest crowd that has

years gathered at the Masonic
Temple in Louisville last week to
hear Secretary Bryan. Thou
sands were turned away. Ex-
Governor Beckham also address,
ed the crowd and was warmly
received. Kentucky has never
lost its affection for Mr.. Bryan.
The democrats of this state have
the greatest confidence in his
leadership and they are doubly
proud to welcome him here as
the representative of President
Wilson. Bryan's friends in Ken
lucky are Beckham's friends and
there is every evidence that the
democrats will carry the state
by a majority of not less than
10000.

In his letter to Congressman
Underwood President Wilson
commends the work of the DEM
ocratic Congress and confesses
that without their aid it would
have been impossible for him to
have carried out the policies to
which the democracy stands
pledged. 1t will be necessary
for the President to have a dem
ocratic house and S e n a t e
to complete.the work that he has
so admirably begun. The cleo
ton of Governor Beckham and
Senator Camden is. for that rea-
son, most important. To send a
Republican to the Senate from
Kentucky this year would be a
rebuke to the President and a
blow to the party in this state
from which it would never re-
cover.

When Augustus E. Wilson ran
for Governor he had great crowds
to hear him speak and thousands
of democrats voted for him. This
year his speeches have been a
frost and audiences have been
most di sheartening in point of
numbers and lack of enthusiasm.
At Greenup, the other day, al
though he had been advertised
for weeks, the Republican Com
mittee could not get as many as
40 people to attend his meeting.
At other points in the same coun'
ty he had as few as 9 people to
hear him speak. If the frosts
that have descended upon Will
son had fallen upon the crops Of
the state, Kentucky would hi
bankrupt and its people woulc
perish of starvation.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

!
} Both have been the Chief Exec
utive of Kentucky, and they now
seek the same office. tits prop
er that their public careers
should be reviewed, and thai
their respective ability should be
measured.
AS Governor, Wilson was q
complete failure. When he
came into office he found ST..
100000 in the treasury; when he
went out of office he left the cash
box empty and the State ST.
600, 900 in debt. So much for
Gus. Wilson as a financier.
He had no constructive ability.
There is no law on the statute
book that bears the imprint of
his hand or brain. Instead of
advocating wise legislation that
would improve the State, he
wasted, his energies in the fur
therance of petty political
schemes in an effort to discredit
the Democracy.
So little attention did he pay
to the affairs of his office, and so
frequent were his arn-storming
tours through other States, seek
ing wherever a gong sounded or
banquet was spread, that he
became known as the Wander
ing Voice.. - 1t is a matter of
record that during his term the
Lieutenant Governor drew over
5000. in salary for acting Gov
ernor during Wilson's absence
from the State.
When the night-rider troubles
were at their heigLth his irresolu-
ton, timidity and bad judgment
encouraged the disorder instead
of abating it. Hundre d S of
thousands of dollars were thrown
away in needless calling out of
the State Militia. The grave
question settled itself while Will
son was torn between his alleged
love for the people and his well
proved affection for the Tobacco
Trust, whose attorney he had
been before he became Governor.
