The lie they tell was born in
brains that are base, and nutured
in hearts that are bad and black.
They are trying to deceive the
voters whose confidence and sup
port they solicit.
Mr.. Lay in justice to Mr.. Rose
ought to come out in a public
statement and say that Mr.. Rose
is an honorable man seeking the
honorable support of an honor
able constituency.
Mr.. Lay must think he is a
favored son of fortune; that he
is q veritable blue-eyed child of
destiny, to have a candidate for
the same Office he seeks himself
spend his time, his labor and his
means in an effort to elect him
to the high and honorable Office
of Circuit Judge.
What kind of a puppet and
fool do they believe Dick" Rose
to be?
What kind Of long cared idiots
do they suppose the voters of
Knox county really are ?
Let them not deceive them
selves. 1t is beyond their
capacity, schooled and skilled in
trickery as some of them are, to
deceive any one else.
The voters of Knox county are
neither dupes nor fools.
They are an intelligent citi-
zenry and have never been either
putty or plant tools in the hands
of anybody.
THEY NEVER WILL BE.
1t is needless to say that
Dick" Rose is running an hon
est race in the hope of being
elected to high and honorable
Office.
He is not running in the in
terest of any candidate or set of
candidates.
Why should Mr.. Rose, whom
even his enemies concede is the.
ablest lawyer on the track, be
thought one moment to be the
tool of anybody?
Rose when running against
such a field as this is absolutely
confident of success.

Labor La Switzerland.

About twenty-five years ago employ
ment agencies were first established in
the leading industrial centers Of Swift,
zerland. Municipal interest was soon
shown in these institutions, and by
1900 several of the larger cities, such
as Zurich, Geneva and Bene, operated
municipal employment bureaus. In
March, 1910, these official institutions
were united into a national organiza-
ton, subsidized by the federal govern.
ment, called the Swiss Bureau of En-.
ployment, with head offices at Zurich.
The undertaking Of supplying the
needy unemployed with work has thus
practically passed into the hands Of the
federal government.

j. G. Bird the
Enemy of Labor,

Is j. G. Bird, now a candidate
for Circuit Judge, what he pre-
tends to be as to the laboring
men?
Mr. Bird was store manager
Ion the Proctor Coal Company
from 1905 to 1910. He was thor
oughly in accord with the Proc
tor Coal Company, and it's views
as to organized labor before they
hired him as their store manager
and paid him a big salary.
AS store manager he had gen.
eral control of their store. Back
in those times he bought goods
at wholesale prices, sold them to
the coal diggers and laboring
men at retail prices and COM
missary prices (Which are two
prices) and thereby on the hard
work of the coal diggers, cleared
a handsome profit for the coal
company.
During the time he was there,
the miners sought to organize.
Mr. Bird, for and in behalf of
the company denounced them as
a band of outlaws, thugs and cut
threats.
While he was store manager
the Proctor Coal Company loan
ed him a large amount Of money
With which to mQke tIie-race for

all sorts of rumors, as to the fit
: ness or unfitness of candidates
for Office, is being circulated, it
is difficult for the unbiased and
unprecedented tax payer or voter
to get the real facts as to the
fitness of the candidates for
office.
Hon. R, S. Rose is a candidate
for the Republican nomination
for Circuit Judge.
He was reared on a poor farm
on Little Poplar Creek.
He lived the life of a poor
farmers son, working on the
farm and attending a country
s hool. He became qualified as
a country school teacher and was
able to obtain a first-class certifi-
cate for that honorable calling.
He then taught school for 9
years at different places and dis
tricts in Knox county.
During that time he had the
tutilage of many children and
many of the parents and school
children will remember R. S.
Rose as a school teacher.
In teaching, Mr.. Rose did his
level best to teach and make
h n Irable men and women out of
his students "a thing which a
great many of them have thor
oughly accomplished.
In that 8 years, his circle Of
acquaintance throughout the
county was very large especially
among the school people, teach
ers, trustees and patrons.
At the end of that time he
went to the law school, at Dan
vile, KY, where he graduated
in the law department of Centre
College. Since that time he has
practiced law to the exclusion of
all other things except writing
law books.
The lawyers as well as laymen
and citizens at the Knox County
Bar, Whitley County Bar, Bell
and Harlan County Bars, know
R. S. Rose as a splendid lawyer,
and especially as man who al
ways represents the interests of
farmers, poor people, laboring
men and women
The United Mine Workers of
America have had him in their
employ in much of their litiga-
ton and his services have been
eminently satisfactory to them.
Being a farmers boy he has al
ways stood Loyalty by the farm
er.
He now asks those same people
to-wit: the farmers, the miners,
the laboring people throughout
this district to stand by him as
Loyalty as he stood by them to
know their friends from their
enemies.
He has at no time nor upon
any occasion betrayed their trust.

with railway fare paid, for workers in
munition factories in Great Britain,
whilst the wages recommended for
agricultural laborers in Ireland is
15s. and for ploughmen s1 5s., with
board and lodging. Numbers have
accepted the more tempting offer and
have left the Irish fields for the fac
tories across the water.
The Department of Agriculture, in
its reports, complained of the short
age of labor for the harvest last year.
This shortage was practically univer-
sal through the country and added
very materially to the ill-effects of the
bad weather in causing a poor har-
vest owing to the length of time it
took to get in the crops. Of course
a good deal of that shortage in the
Irish harvest fields was due to the
absence of 1000 laborers from the
western counties working at the
British harvest. With proper organiza-
ton and the offer of a wage that would
enable these workers to work at
home there would be sufficient labor
in the country to meet the extra de-
mands OF the present year.

DRAIN
ON IRISH LABOR

The reduction of the labor supply
in rural Ireland continues. Not alone
is labor scarce for field work, but
there is none left for other important
undertakings, whether public or bust
ness, says the Dublin Freeman's Jour-
nal In many places public work is
suspended so that labor might be free
for farm work during the spring. Thus
in the South Riding of Tipperary road
work had to a large extent ceased in
order to meet the call of agriculture.
Our contemporary, the Nationalist -
Clonmel, states that the county sur.
veyor had given the labor shortage as
the reason for the backward state of
the roads, and stated that the tillage
demands would further restrict labor
for the roads. Agents in the west of
ireland are offering a2 los weekly,

FORBID PRAYERS FOR
DEAD IN Limerick
cemetry Directors Denied Right Of
Inscription on Monument.

A Catholic resident of Limerick,
Mrs. NJ Mcnamara, recently ordered
that an inscription should be engraved
on a tombstone erected at the grave
of her parents in st. Munchin's GEM
etery. The inscription contained an
appeal to Our Lord for mercy on the
souls of the deceased.
Though Catholics as we'll as Prot
estants are buried in the cemetery
the Select Vestry Committee of st.
Munchin's Protestant Church, objected
to the inscription. Canon Robertson,
one Of the members of the Vestry,
emphatically declared that such an
inscription could not be tolerated be-
cause prayers for the dead were con-
trary to the doctrine of the Irish Prot
estant Episcopal Church, and meas
ures were adopted to prevent the ex-
ecution of the work. Mrs. Mcnamara
has taken legal proceedings and has
obtained a decree of pounds against
the Vestry for obstruction.
Judge Law Smith, who heard the
charge at the Limerick Sessions, re-
marked: "This is the most terrible
case of sectarian bigotry 1 have ever
experienced and coming from the
North, l know what it u.s."
