Wants youtsey pardoned

Mrs. Kate Brown, of Frank
fort, has started a movement to
have Henry Youtsey pardoned.
Her aim is to get 100000 sigma
lures to a petition asking Gov
ernor McCreary to give the MUIR
derer his freedom.
The Times opposes any such
movement. There is but one la
inevitable fact about this affair,
and that is that Caleb Powers,
Jim Howard and Others who aid
ed and abetted him. are not there
with him as they should be. Nc
STREE, let Mr.. Youtsey stay
where he is.

Wins Another Great Victory.

President Wilson won another
great victory on the 81 st of March
last week, when the bill repeal.
ing the provision of free tolls for
Coast wise shipping through the
Panama canal was passed IN the
House of Representatives by the
overwhelming vote of PAT against
1852. This measure has attracted
more attention than any act of
the administration except the
Tariff and Currency bills. The re-
markable feature about the af-
fair is the fact that the Demo
cratic platform on which Presi-
dent Wilson was elected declared
in fovor of "free toll" for our
coast wise shipping, which is
meant, shipping from port to
port on the United States terri
tory. President Wilson after
careful study came to the con-
clusion that free tolls is an un-
wise policy and he did what was
wise and statesmanlike in re-
versing himself when he found
a mistake had been made. 1t is
said that fool never changes his
mind but a wise man does, when
there is a good reason for so do
ing. The Panama Canal cost us
approximately $40O, 900, 000which
was paid for by the American
people, and why should less than
1T who own the ships reap the
benefit of free toll which the 9th
er 900 have paid for The fact
of it is every ship of commerce
passing through that Canal should
pay the same rate in toll, and
that Is the only just and equita-
BILE way to operate the Canal.

VOL. NIX.
why Temperance Men are for Stanley

Our Stanton correspondent
takes us to task for not support.
ing Mr.. Beckham for u. 5. Sena-
tor over Mr.. Stanley, so we will
state our position clearly:
In the first place we wish to
state that we regard Mr.. Beck
ham as one of the greatest Gov.
ernors Kentucky ever bad, and
his defeat for u. S. Senator
through the treachery of the
whiskey element of the Demo.
Gratis at Frankfort SIX years ago,
is deeply deplored by US, but
when he accepted fee of $500
per year, as he says, to represent
the l. a. N. railroad against his
people, we parted faith with
him. 1t is undisputed but that
the l.. Il N. railroad aided in the
murder of his running mate
Governor Goebel, and this is why
we hold it against him. The cir
cumstances rather than his serv
ing the railroad as an attorney is
the bad part of it.
Another reason why we are OPP
posing Mr.. Beckham is the fact
that he is accredited as being
a man of great intemper-
ance, in fact he is said to be
hard drinker. Tn being true,
his advocacy of temperance shows
bad faith, and his attitude must
have teen prompted solely for
the sake of getting votes, just as
some men are Democrats to get
office. We want a man who is
honest in his convictions, though
they be different from ours.
AS to Mr.. Stanley, we regard
him as an honest man. He is
said to be more temperate man
than Mr. Beckham. He believes
in Temperate strongly. He vot-
ed against the Webb bill as Bro.
Derthick states, and the Times
censored him for so doing at the
time. He said the law would
not have the desired effect and
every one knows it does not, be-
cause any man can get all the Ii
duur from out of the State he
wants, aid that was what the
Webb bill proposed to stop. Mr..
Stanley has never failed to stand
by the people against the trusts,
He is not afraid of them, and is
ready to fight them six days out
of the week, and we believe that
he would not represent the l. d
N. railroad that helped to MUIR
der Gov. Beckham's dead COM
rade, for ten times $500 per year,
though his connection with Gov
ernor Guebel was not nearly so
close as that of Mr.. Beckham.
Our Bro. Derthick is taking
the natural view of the situation,
aud the support of the whiskey
men does not generally look good
to us, but we are glad to see that
there are a number of strong pro-
hibition local papers fighting
with their might and strength for
the popular Congressman. They
see him as we see him, and they
see Mr.. Beckham as we see him.
They, like us, want a man who
stands up for the people against
the trusts and railroads, and who
has the courage to vote for what
he thinksis right, and generally
proves to be right IN the
wind-up.
AS to Governor McCreary, he
is possibly by far the cleanest
man of the trio, and we never
failed TO support him before. He
is temperate in habits aud never
fails to support prohibition, and
fight the trusts too. The fact
that he is conceded to not he in
The race rs the reason why many
are for either Stanley or Beck
