Shall Hert Boss Kentucky?

Y Democratic Chairman Thos. S.
Rhea touched popular chord in
his speech at Hopkinsville when
he showed how A. T. Hert, form
er Indiana penitentiary warden,
had attained not only fortune
since he came to Kentucky but
had acquired a political power al
most unbelievable, not only in
Louisville, but in the Republican
party of Kentucky, and is seek
ing to obtain in the state govern
ment the uncontested power he
possesses over the government of
Louisville, city which but a
few short years ago knew him
not. Mr.. Rhea pointed out how
Mr.. Hert pushed Col. John Nc
Culloch out of his job as National
Committeeman for Kentucky and
how Phil Brown, negro poll
tician who was sent as a "half
a delegate" to the last Republi-

Pro6teering In Flour

What is pro6teering? 1t is the
charging of more than fair
profit for goods, for the necessi-
ties of life particularly. People
must eat. Bread is the staff OF
life. S. Thruston Ballard, candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor on
the Republican ticket, is miller,
a manufacturer of flour, from
which bread is made. By his
own statement to the Kentucky
High Cost of Living Commission
he sold -four in Louisville at lie
a barrel more than he is selling
the same goods in New Orleans,
Louisiana. 1t is not to be sup
posed that hard-headed bust
ness maK4ike Mr.. Ballard would
sell his goods at less than a fair
profit in New Orleans. Therefore,
the Conclusion is inevitable that
Mr.. Ballard sold -four in Ken
lucky at $1.10 more per barrel
than reasonable profit. No
wonder he is a rich man and no
wonder the Republican party,
looking for men with means to
help it elect a state ticket, has
selected him as one of its candi-
dates.

ASPIRIN FIRST
KNOWN IN 1900
The Bayer Company Introduced
Aspirin To Physicians
Is Years Ago

If yoG want the true, world
famous Aspirin, as prescribed by
physicians for over eighteen
years, you must ask for "Bayer
Tablets of Aspirin"
The '"Bayer Cross" is stamped
on each tablet and appears on
each package for your protection
against limitations.
In each package Of "Bayer Tab
lets of Aspirin are safe and
proper directions for Colds,
Headache, Neuralgia, Toothache,
Earache, Rheumatism, Lumbago,
Neuritis, and for Pain in general.

ate after Hert's party got con-
troll of that body.

party in Kentucky as the genius

Lexington and its nominations,

Mr.. Hert becomes very properly
a subject for political discussion
and Mr.. Rhea certainly did dis
cuss him in a way that was pleas
ing to the Democrats of Ken
lucky who do not belive in being
mealy-mouthed in dealing with
the enemy. If Hert is to be a
candidate for Boss of Kentucky,
just as Hanna was so long boss of
Ohio, making and unmaking
governors and senator's, it is
only fair that the people should
know for what they are voting.
Mr.. Rhea has made the issue
clear, so far as Mr.. Hert is con-
cerned.

STAY FERDINAND
AS RIVAL Of The
HUN EMPEROR

German expansion towards the next
far east. Francis Ferdinand started
to centralize his power first with
the creation of a ministry Of the
imperial court of which the inten-
ton was to offset Magyar power.
,'(2). That there was strong
opposition against the direct, secret
and common electoral right for Aus
tria and Hungary.
"(3). That there was fusion of
all aristocrats and landlords in Aus
tria and Hungary, for the support
of the emperor against peoples
rights and social democrats. Feu-
,dalism and despotism was supposed
to return under Francis Ferdinand.
The emperor and the aristocrats
with other landlords wanted to rule.
In Hungary, Count Tisza and a
certain Mr.. Kristoffy were secret
supporters of Francis Ferdinand
through Count Czernin. Other Hun
garian aristocrats, according to
documents. were pro-German and
called rebels by Francis Ferdi-
nand.
Again Francis Ferdinand was
dangerous to the German emperor
and his aspirations. Emperor Will
lam feared and hated the Slavs, but
liked the Magyars. He said that
Francis Ferdinand was too rabid
Omaha daily bee., 1919-03-28

toward the Magayars and tried to
influence him.
"A way via German-Austria and
Hungary to the far east was natural
as the Magyars had aspirations for
Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Mag
vars, with a German prince as their
king (Eitel Frederick would have
been the best allies of William IL.
And the pro-German and pro-war
Austrian general staff, with Count
Hoetzendorf at its head, is another
connecting link with the aspirations
of the Germans in the far east. The
war has proved all this. The old
Austrian emperor and Emperor
Charles were too stupid to see the
real cause of the war and the aims
of the Germans apd the Magyars.
There are in the letters interest
ing details of political talks of Count
Czernin and Emperor William in
KEEL in 1906. William said;
"'All Europe has to unite eco
nomically against America
1T may interest you to be in
formed that Count Czernin is still
working with former Emperor
Charles for the establishment of
the Hapsburg throne. The docu-
ments we have on hand will make
both emperors, German as well as
Austrian, absolutely impossible
among their own people when they
are published. They will expose the
intrigues of the Hapsburgs against
the German imperial family as we'll
as the intrigues of Emperor William
against the Hapsburgs."

SUFFRAGE is
ENDORSED IN
new COVENANT

to proceed with arrangements for
the assembly, securing the neces-
sary buildings and perfecting the
secretariat forces, all in advance of
the ratification of the treaty. But
the acts of this committee will be
subject to the approval of the ratify-
ing body.
The purpose is to speed up the
beginning of the workings of the
great league to meet the critical is
sues that now are arising through
out the world.
Another amendment gathers into
one section all of the separate con-
ventions which are to be in
ccrporated in the covenant, such as
those relating to labor, commerce
and finance, so that these are not
made part of the treaty but that
the countries signatory agreed to
do the things set forth therein. This
would leave the league only to ex-
ecute the terms of such conventions
as may be agreed upon by the sep
arate states.
Provision is to be made for SINH
lar treatment of other conventions
on other subjects. such as white
slavery and the opium traffic, which
are likely hereafter to be inserted
in the covenant.
The language of the mandatory
article has been changed so as to
make it clear that no nation shall
be obliged to act as mandatory.
Generally the language of the
whole covenant 'has been clarified
particularly article /, to meet the
charge of Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbus university,
New York, of ungrammatical Ian
guage and the words 'high contract
ing parties appear now only in that
one article.

were quashed and only the one for
perjury against Ernest Rathbun was
returned.
The indictments quashed included
two agaist George Clark, the Rath-
bun attorney, for subornation of per-
jury and conspiracy, and one each
for conspiracy against William Rath-
bun. ST., and William Rathbun, jr.,
father and brother, respectively, of
Ernest.
1t was the first mention made in
testimony before the committee of
the part Attorney General Havner
took in obtaining revocation of the
pardon, which resulted in Rathbun's
imprisonment in the Anamosa re-
formatory for service of life SEN
tence for criminal assault.
Part of Bargain.
Jones testified the indictments
were dismissed as result of bar
gain between the state and the
Rathbuns and Clark. and the witness
said the jury "had decided this was
was the best thing to do, after Hav-
ner had presented the agreement to
them."
The committees Investigation. in
accordance with house resolution,
concerns both the reasons of the
governor for granting the pardon
and the methods employed by Hav-
ner in setting it aside.
Testimony of Bruce Smell. under
questioning by Special Counsel
Byers, produced nothing new, and
generally substantiated certain parts
of the testimony of his brother.
Scan Harding Bank Book.
The governor was closely examin-
ed as to his personal financial af-
fairs last September, October, No
vember and December. His bank
statements showed no unusual de-
posts during these months, and in
reply to questions, the governor de-
clared he received no money for
the pardon.

nocent when | granted the pardon"
was the governors reply several
times to queries concerning his rea-
sons for freeing the youth.
Referring to the bargain be-
tween the state and the Rathbuns,
as testified to by Jones, Counsel,
Byers said:
Takes No Action.
"You know now that Clark, who
lis guilty beyond all others in this
Ease, was to go free and this 81
'year-old boy (Rathbun) to go to
penitentiary for life to save Clark.
Have you done anything to rectify
this wrong?"
NO." the governor replied, 81

cd in the covenant of the proposed
league Of nations as told in an Asso-
+ ciated Press dispatch, reached the
annual convention of the National
Amedican Woman Suffrage associa-
ton here just after the close of the
/. afternoon session, but it quickly
passed from delegate to delegate and
there was general rejoicing.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, presi-
dent Of the National association, was
the first to see the dispatch and de-
clared 1T is wonderful. Suffrage is
recognized the world over. 1t could
not be otherwise"
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary
president of the National association
and venerable worker for suffrage,
declared:
ut is splendid. People of the
United States will understand what
democracy means by the time the
peace conference gets through and
recognizes the services of women
not only recognizes the service but
their intellectual counsel and ex-
perience. The world moves. The
United States must hurry"
