According to the account furnish
ed by William Henry Jones of that
Democrats opening at GLASGOW, we
need to subtract about 500 from at
tendance and discount the enthus
iasm about 100 per cent. He says,
and he was there, that the only en-
thusiasm manifested was when the
burgoo was attacked, and that here,
so much enthusiasm was displayed
that the burgoo soon gave out and
that the hungry crowd broke over
the ropes and ran over the kettles
and tables, while the pick pockets
did the rest. Besides. the Louisville
papers had published the news that
Senator Beckham, McDermott, Nc
Chesney, Haley and Van Zant were all
there and even named the carriage
in which each one followed the NO
bic" Stanley in his triumphant pro-
cession. Mr.. Jones says, and he was
there, that none of the famous Demo-
Gratis here named were there. Mr..
Jones is a truthful man and his
statements have not been questioned.

MIR. Stanley And The Tax Laws.


Mr.. Stanley. in his opening speech
at GLASGOW, consumed a great deal
of time, and displayed a tremendous
amount of Stanleyesque oratory. de-
scribing his assault on the Steel
Trust lion in its very den. and told
his amazed and wondering audience
how he felt that animals bleeding
and mangled carcass from one end
of Pennsylvania avenue to another,
to say nothing of what was bespat-
tered over the surrounding landscape
but it is not recorded that he at the
time told his hearers how much high
er the Steel Trust stock was selling
after the killing than before.
The nearned manner in which Mr..
Stanley discusses large problems of
nationwide importance naturally
leads one to assume that while run
ming for. Governor of Kentucky he
would deem it proper to devote some
attention to questions which deeply
concern the people of the Common
wealth in particular.
For example, one searches his
GLASGOW speech in vain for a discus
sion of the tax laws and any express
sion of what the people might expect
in the way of executive action with
reference thereto in case he is elect
ed Governor.
Mr.. Stanley admits that the fail
ure of the attempt to secure an
amendment to the Constitution which
would enable the Legislature to re-
wise the tax laws to the fullest extent
was due to the neglect of a Demo-
cratic State Official, but he is silent
with respect to what in his judgment
would be the wise course to pursue
in this important department of State
government.
Mr.. Stanley did say that "the real
and personal property of Kentucky
is valued at $S46.454.02O." and that
sit pays a tax of SIS per thousands.
with no bonded Indebtedness.
The reason that the state has no
bonded Indebtedness is that instead
of bonds there is tremendous
of State warrants outstand-
ing in the hands Of money lenders
and which are bearing interest at
a higher rate than bonds could be
sold for.
Mr.. Stanley did not say. however,
that of the great amount OF personal
property represented in stocks. bonds.

perhaps ten per cent. Of il pays ANY

The Best Possible Politics.

Judge Gregory has charged not
only the existence, but the active
prosecution of a conspiracy against
the ballot in the primary election of
August T.. 1t comes to the Times
that so4le Of the fearful aI Ong the

of success at the November election.
The Times does not SO hold.
The charge is made by a Demo-
cratic Judge. 1t has to do with wrongs
committed by men who, whatever
their professed party affiliation, are
neither Democratic nor Republicans,
but the comon enemies of all forms
of government, save that invisible
government which looks to the pow
er and enrichment of the few at the
cost of the many.
The Democratic party can offer no
better proof that it is fit to be in
trusted with the administration of
the city and county's courts of JUS
tice and the management Of Louis
ville's fiscal affairs than by Kidding

creatures of a system which would
take from the people of Louisville
their right of self government. The
who today is opposed to in

find himself its victim.
The best possible politics for the
party is to do its part in
a free ballot and fair
Times.

Did you ever brighten an old moth
er quail with her young? You
know what frantic efforts she maxi s
to lead you away after her, to pro-
tect her brood. For a complete
counterpart, read the Hartford Her
aid from week to week, since the
grave charges were published about
the Judicial district primary. When
Mr.. Ringo was charged by his oppOn-
ent. Mr.. Tanner, with having gotten
his nomination through fraud and
corruption, and escaped an investiga-
ton by taking advantage of a techni-
cality, The Herald said you cannot
afford to notice it. When Judge
Birkhead was charged with entering
a bar room in greensboro, where the
drinks were served, either at his ex-
pense or the expense of Mr.. Glenn
ents, his Daviess County Master Com
missioner. to men who had just mis-
treated Judge Glenn at a speaking,
The Herald answering for him. says
he is too honorable to notice such
charge and, besides the editor of this
paper once refused to support his
ticket Well that can't be said of
the Herald editor. Not since John
p. Barnett so ably and conscientious
ly edited that paper has such thing
happened. Under its present man
agement we doubt IL any nomination
could be made, no matter whom nor
how, which could draw any criticism
from it. much less cause ii to bolt.
If we were disposed to say anything
unkind we would class that kind of
a partisan in the yellow dog" va
riety. AT least he classifiies himself.
Now let's not run away after the old
bird THE Hartford Herald) but see
what kind of brood she is. mothering.
We didn't bring these charges. and
they are not against the Herald edi-
tors. A reproduction Of editorials in

edifying, but they would throw no

We almost had another eruption of
the Observation-Disclosures volcano one
day last week. The crater, which
has been quiet for several weeks,
since the lava emitted which spelled

soon Quieted down again. All per-
sons are warned to keep a safe dis

paper some years ago. refused to pub
lish a communication from one of
the best Republicans in the county.
Well didn't The Herald refuse to pub
1ish a communication from a good
Democrat just before the late pri-
mary? Didn't you turn down a let
ter from DR.. f. w. Ford and is he
not a good Democrat? Now, this is
not ancient history and not barred
By limitation either. Answer. Mr..

lows TO talk about anybody refusing
to publish anything.

The Hartford Herald, still trying
to drown the charges against Birk-
head and Ringo, coming from Ow-
ensboro, and elsewhere, by muddy
ing the waters wants us to interview
Mr.. C. P. Keown about the Republi-
can primary. We again suggest if
Mr.. Keown. or anyone else has any
evidence of bribery or other crime
it should come before a grand jury of
Ohio county and that would not ex-
cuse Democratic candidates. 1t asks
if we will give Mr.. Keown space in
this paper. We have never refused
Mr.. Keown space in this paper and
he is welcome to it, If he has any,
thing of interest to say to the public.
Now, will the Hartford Herald kind
ly give its readers the benefit of the
following question in a fairly promi-
nent position:
Did Judge T. F. Birkhead and
Lavega Clements enter a saloon
or saloons, in greensboro, on
Wednesday night before the Au-
gust primary, just after Judge
Glenn had been badly treated
at a speaking and did Judge
Birkhead or Mr.. Clements, his
Master Commissioner for Da-
viess County pay for the drinks
for any of these people who had
attended said speaking?" Judge
Birkhead and Mr.. Clements to
answer.
In as much as the Herald is kind
enough to help us hunt up and So
licit a correspondent, we will be
equally as kind in helping it with
copy by Offering the above. and we
know it cannot refuse so modest
request.

He revived an old exploded story or
Mr.. Franks, in which he is repre-

Mr.. Stanley is quoted in all the Louis

connection with this attempted fun
at Franks expense AFTER utilizing

my accomplished friend, Mr.. Edwin

Hath of the Republican party, for he

Wonder who told Stanley that it
was Goliath who slew his enemies
with the jawbone of an ass? Mr..
Franks may be shy on Shakespeare,
but what shall we say of Stanley on
bible history? 1t is a late day for
him to undertake the destruction of
the laruels of Samson, even though
he should do it by turning his own
weapons on him.
