Chicago, March 4.-The first train

single commodity ever made passed

1t was sugar from Hawaii. The en-

The entire consignment will re-

trains. The movement. which will re-

GEN. MILES ON QUESTION
OF AN INVADING ARMY

II is true that | have no fear of
foreign invader landing on our
shores in large forces. The placing
of an army on American soil is the
last thing any European government
would attempt. II would never be
re-embarked. 1t would dissolve like
the snow beneath the midday sun.
Whenever it has been attempted 1t
has resulted in disaster. An enemy,
to make any show of strength, must
land 100000 men and $4,000 horses.
with all the ammunition, transporta-
ton and munitions of war required,
with supplies enough to feed the men
and animals at least 80 days, be-
cause 1t would be easy to burn any
thing within their reach. Then. sup
posing our own navy at the bottom
of the sea, II might be possible for
an invader to reach our shore. II

REPUBLICANS SEEM TO
BE RIDING TO A FALL

That all Is not serenity and con-
tentment in the corral supposed to
contain the Bull Moose and the Ele-
plant is plainly seen in the follow
ing editorial in the Louisville Her
aid, the organ of the Progressives in
Kentucky:
With a cock-sureness which indi-
Gates short memory, Republican
leaders of Kentucky are making up
their various important committees
and selecting their National Conven-
ton delegates in a manner which
can not fail to put a ray of hope into
the aching Democratic heart.
After months of talking about the
"get together" spirit, after a guber-
material race which sent Republican
hopes to exultant heights, after
mingling at the polls and in public
meetings with the progressive or in
dependent element of our citizen
ship, the small coterie of Republic
ans who have habit of doing the
party's thinking and acting, seem to
have misjudged the temper Of the
rank and file.
They are up to their old tricks.
They are attempting to proceed
without regard for the thousands of
voters who refused to stand hitched
four years ago. Without changing
the complexion of the organization
and turning a deaf ear to the rather
timid protests which have been
made, these Republican leaders are
lining up for another campaign.
We sincerely hope they will pause
to consider where the votes are to
come from. Can they, standing pat,
command the handsome support CIV
en- the standard bearer, Edwin p.
Morrow, in his great race last fall?
We would like to see a State or
gani2ation that would merit this |
support. 1t was given last fall un-
and with very few ques-
lions asked, because of the impera- /,
tive need for better government In !
But little has happened |
in the party counsels since to ihdi- |
cate that this patriotic manifestation !
IS appreciated. +,
We fear that unless some recog-
'ition be given ,aa vast Progressive
element in the patty the leaders will
'ide straight 10 a fall

PERTINENT QUESTIONS
ASKED BY A TAXPAYER

McHenry, KY, March Al wish
to ask few questions to be answer
ed through the columns of The Her
aid. Haven't we a road tax on our
head and property to work the roads
with? Do we have to pay this tax
and work the roads, too? Will some
one answer? Will some one tell us
how the road fund has been applied
the past year? think 1t is due the
to know what application
has been made of the available
funds. Does not the law provide for
a financial statement to be published
each year? Let the people have this
statement. Is there any law in re-
gard to how many times the Fiscal
Court is allowed to meet during one
year? Please give the number of
times. Have we now a Road Engin-
eer as We had during the tax-work-
ing system; il so, what is his salary?

HARD TIMES-SOME CAUSES.

Frequently we hear complaint of
hard times, and an old farmer was
in our Office few days ago who said
he did not know what was to become
of the people of his section. We
have no doubt about the sincerity of
these complaints, but there must be
cause and that cause must origi
nate, in some degree at least, among
the people who feel the press of hard
times. In certain sense, poverty
and advers.ty are sometimes of a
personal nature. This is 10 rehec-
ton on the honesty and Integrity of
the people, but rather due to the
fact that they do not always take
advantage of the opportunities offer
ed them or do not study causes
which naturally must produce eff
fects. Our Savior said, 1.-The por
We have always with YOU" and con-
ditions have not materially changed
since the day when He said this.
Crops last year were good and
products of the farm have brought
fair to fine prices with very few ex-
ceptions. The industrious and thrift
~ farmer has had little to complain
about. Cooperation is the keynote
OF good prices for farm products
and in the lack of this lies much OF
the cause for any complaint. II the
farmers as a class would only come
to fully realize how necessary this 1:
to their mutual or personal success
they would take advantage Of oppor
tunities Offered and thereafter be
more contented and prosperous. II
seems a hard lesson TO learn. but II
rus. be learned before satisfactor,
success Is attained.
There Is another cause for this
cry OF alleged hard times which soms
people do not seem to take note OF
or care about. And II is a cause
which always produces effects. Post
master r. b. Martin. Of Hartford
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1916-03-08

tells us that during the month of
February just passed he issued over
three thousand three hundred dol
lars worth Of post-office money-or-
ders. What this money went to pay
for, of course 1t is none of his bust
ness to know, but the plain fact is
established that It was paid into his
hands and left the county. Much of
it--no doubt the great bulk of it
has gone never to return for any
thing we may have to sell. Presum-
ably much of 1t went to mail-order
houses in the large cities to buy
goods of various kinds. In such
cases these goods can be bought to
just as good advantage at home, ev-
erything considered. II there is any
thing that tends to impoverish
community it is a practice like this.
No wonder times Are hard with
some farmers and some families
when they refuse to cooperate with
others of like occupation and insist
on sending the money they make to
distant States. They think they are
saving money but still they face
hard times. They do not seem to
understand their bad fortune, but
the cause should be plain to any
reasoning person.
Let us hope that the people who
are prone to complain of hard times
will yet learn to look about them |
and discover in themselves or mat
ters which they might control, the
real cause for same. Then a new
and better resolution should be in
lrder

NEW TRIAL is GRANTED
TO CHARLES FULKERSON

In the closing hours of the recent
Circuit Court the motion for new
trial of Charlie Fulkerson, who was
convicted at the special August term
of court of voluntary manslaughter
and sentenced to a term in the pen
itentiary for killing Wesley Smith at
Rockport in May, 1909, was heard
by Judge Slack. The ground relied
on for new trial by defendant, was
that the Commemorative Attorney,
Ben d. Ringo's argument was preju-
dicial to the rights of defendant.
The particular portion of the argu-
ment of which the defendant most
strenuously complained was that
portion which urged the jury to find
the defendant guilty lest he should
be turned loose and returned to his
former neigh borhood where he was
not wanted. The defendant pleaded
insanity as defense and it was in re-
Spouse to this plea that the argu-
ment referred to was made.
After brief consideration of the
argument, which had been reported
by the official stenographer, Judge
Slack awarded the defendant new
trial:
We are reliably informed that
those interested in prosecuting Full
kerson are getting up a petition ask
ing the court that he be released
from Jail and be permitted to 60 on
own ecognizance during good behav-
ior. We are likewise informed that
he will be released If such petition
is presented.

1t seems a reflection upon the pa.
triotism of our own beloved cuntry
that while thousands--yea. millions
of citizens of other nations are
cheerfully facing death and giving
of their hearts blood for the honor
and stability of their country. here
in the United States our President
must call for a showdown in Con-
gress, to find out whether or not the
peoples representatives are with him
upon the plan of the preservation of
our national integrity. 1t is indeed
a strange brand of patriotism that
will not stand by the President on
International questions in this try
ing hour.

Whether they have right to or
not is none of our business, but the
Progressive element of the Republic
an party in Kentucky is claiming rec
ignition at the hands of its political
alma mater. The Republican lead
ers evidently seem to think they can
get along without the Bull Moose
fellows or that the latter will return
to the fold anyhow, whether any at
tention is paid to them or not. 1t is
alleged that there are not enough of
the Moose herd to amount to any
thing, anyhow. Each element seems
to want the other to do some Gov
erturing." But We predict that the
Moose will lead the Elephant in the
procession at Chicago in June.

A serious ruction was created in
the Republican State Convention at
Louisville last week when the mat
ter of sending delegates to the Ma
tional Convention at Chicago came
up. Some of the white Republican
leaders wanted to include one or two
negroes in the delegation and some
didn't. The matter BECAME so hot
that Messrs. 2. p, Morrow and Ca
ieb Powers offered to resign their
places as delegates in order that ne
groes might take their places. The
matter was finally compromised by
choosing one negro delegate and
seven white ones. Rastus is fast
losing favor with the Republican
leaders but it will take him a long
time to find it out.

The late Republican State Conven-
ton in Louisville was not such a
quiet and harmonious affair as some
of the e. o. p. leaders would have
the public think. Besides almost
completely ignoring the eighty
thousand negro voters of the State,
another serious split was caused in
the party by the adoption of a new
ruling under which they are sending
eight delegates-at-larg to their Ma
tional Convention instead of four, as
heretofore. Concerning this the Lex
ington Leader (Republican) says;
THE change in the method of
choosing the delegation from the
State-at-large was a sacrifice of prin-
ciple to expediency and the conse-
quences, as foreseen by the Leader,
show the danger of such course"

is evidently developing a new set of
bosses, bent on rule or ruin,

WANT A SECOND CONVENTION

The Lexington Leader, edited b
Harry Giovannoli and the recogni2
ed mouthpiece of the Republican
party in Kentucky, says:
A second State Republican con
vention, to be called at the instiga
ton of colored Republican leaders
may be a result of the dissatisfaction
engendered among some of the col
ored delegates by the Louisville res
olutions.
The colored Republican organiza
ton know as the Republican Pacif
lie and Political League, will, it is
understood, assume the direction Of
calling a second convention. George
w. Gentry, of Lincoln county, is
president OF the league; DR.. e. I'm
derwood, of Frankfort, is Vice Pres
ident, and J. E. Wood, of Danville,
secretary; Ed Chenault and Ed Will
lis, of Lexington, are actively inter-
ested.
An outline of the plan to be fol-
lowed was given to the Leader by
Ed Chenault on his return from
Louisville.
This is not to be merely a color
ed convention" he said. at will be
a Republican convention, assembled
under the call of the National COM
mittee.
'The election of eight delegates,
where the call provided for only
four, was not in accordance with the
call, and We do not expect it to
stand, if contested.
eve shall ask Chairman Franks
to call State convention under the
provisions of the call of the National
Committee. If he refuses, We shall
make it by reason of his negligence.
We hope that white delegates will
attend this convention, which will
probably be called within thirty
days.
"The convention will then choose
four delegates, one of whom will be
4 colored man, and we believe that
.hese delegates elected in proper
'orm will be entitled to seats in the
Chenault was asked if the colored
men could properly claim that the
election of eight delegates was ir-
regular, inasmuch as many of the
,olored men supported the resolu-
ion committees report.
His answer was that the colored
delegates had no voice in the con-
,ention in many instances; that the
hartman voted them in some cases
md that in others they were counted
lfter they had left the hall.
THE honest white Republicans
will concede that we We're entitled !
. 4 one-fourth representation on the
delegation. we were not consulted
1 all as to the ohe-half vote propo-
ition. The only negro admitted to
he party councils was Phil Brown.
Ind we feel that he betrayed us.
IF it had not been for the colored
Republicans, who sat still in the
boat and voted under the Log Cabin
o a man, there would be no Repub-
lean party in Kentucky to-day. The
,olored voter has been the solid
,asis of Republican success In this
State, and now all he asks is that
he party will not permit handful
