TO BUY KENTUCKY

The details of the conference recentely held in Indianapolis have just be-

come

¬

known and it brings to light astartling condition or affair reveallog how recklessly txe Republicansare bargaining In order to steal thevote of the Commonwealth and give itBelknap and the Republican Stateticket List week John W YerkesCommissioner of Internal Revenueslipped into Indianapolis from Wash-ington and was met there by SenatorFairbanks of Indiana the fugitive WS Taylor Dr W Godfrey HunterChairman of the Republican StateCampaign Committee J H Newmanthe figurehead chairman of the Com-

mittee and Collector ET Franks ofOwensbofo The results of that con

furecce arc numerousIn the fIrst place fugitive Taylor

who has always been Dr Huntersclosest friend armed to write to hisfriends in the mountains asking themto support Hunter for Congress in thatdlstrlct

In the second place in return for apromise of Kentuckys support foranything he may want Senator Fair-

banks agreed to see that Taylor isprotected in Indiana and it is said-

thationator Fairbanks futher prom=

to see that a campaign fund was inraised among the Indiana Republicans-

to be sent to Kentucky just before thecoming election The Republican ifcampaign committee have a larger corruptlon fund this year than they haveever had at any previous election con

sequently when Mr Faltbanks con

tribution is received from Indiana thesum will have grown to enormous

proportionsItof the Republicans to

flood the State with this money dur-

Ing¬

the laSt days of the campaign andto use it in an endeavor to buy thefloating vote and to corrupt the elec

officersMr Yerkes was more responsible for

the nomination of Mr Belknap thananv other man and Dr Hunter is now

managing Mr Belkuaps campaigntherefore even the presence of MrYerkes and Dr Hunter at a confer¬

ence with fugitive Taylor is sufficientor all thinking people to see clearly

that thcRapublican leaders of Kenincluding the nominee for Gov

trnor and the patron saint Yerkesindorse Taylor Powers and all

the other men charged vlth the murderof Wiliian Goebel No one doubts athat Taylor is lending his assistance toto the Kentucky Republicans now be-

cause¬

he knows he will be benefited by

overthrow of Democratic governwent in Kentucky-

It is astounding to see that Taylorhas sufficient influence auioun any

set of people in Kentucky to addressletters to them to secure their supportof any candidate In their presenceat Indianapolis Mr Yerkes and MrFranks are encouraging Internal RevIenue employes throughout the State totake an active interest in politic t5which is in direct violation of the Federal Statutes

T b e conference a t Indianapolisbrought to light any number of real =

cms why thinking persons should casttheir vote against time Republican party which allows such men as Taylorjiud Hunter to control and direct its

affairs11JIAT

COL BELKNAP ON KFNTUCKX

In his his speeches Col Morris 3Belknap the Republican nominee forGovernor has made and is making aserious reflection upon the women andmen of Kentucky who are known theaworld over as the truest and best themost hospitable and the most chival-

rous¬

In his opening speech at Mum

fordsville Col Belknap made thisstartling statement

Our young men are now hearingwhat manner of men these oldtimeKentuckians were and from themecomes the demand upon us for civicconditions that will restore to themtheir birthright We can not stop ourears to the call and with us now liesthe rcsponslbllito making this State

lit place for our sons and daughterslive in

This statement shows that Col Bel

knap has indeed a poor opinion of thepeople of his own State He says thatfKentucky is no fit place in which toIrear boys and girls Col Belknap Is

probably the only person who has evermade such an expression concerningthe old Commonwealth

The citizens of this State have alIways prided themselves upon their

Old Keatucky Home and Col Bel

kuap is the first person on record who

has ever said that Kentucky was no

place to rear boys and girls Col Bel

knapmust have a poor opinion of theState and the people of the State orhe would have made no such statementin his opening speech The good citi ¬

zens of the State should repudiatesuch a reflection upon the women otthe Cotumonwerlth by votlngagalnst tBelknap and the Republican Stateticket on Noeember 3

She had not beery sick but a-

very short time and hersnddendeath came unexpectedly to hermany friends and especially toparents who had never heard ofher sudden illness

She was a sincere Christian adevoted wife and loving and modl mother

She was nearing her thirtiethbirthday She was reared illAdair county and was a daughter-of Robert Humphrey She hadmany kind and loving friends infact all who knew her loved her aamiable disposition and Christian

characterIIn her death the community has

lost a friend the church an obedi ¬

nt member the household a de ¬

voted wife and three little boyedear and loving motherBut what is to us an irrepara-

ble

¬

loss is to her everlasting gainand peace So we console ours-

elves with this truth that asshe was an earnest Christian andin the very last hours of her lifegave all the evidence that we coulddwish of her hopes of joywe should not weep and thatwhile we grope about in sorrow for

few more days that she hasgono with the heavenly cohorts tosing tho sweet anthems of heaven

So dear husband fathei moth ¬

er brother sister and dear littlebaby boys she has only bade youadieu for a little while and if you

re only faithful you will meet heriagain to part

Out in Kansas which is alwaysdOIng something out of the usualline the school boards in a Dum-

ber of counties and districts adopt ¬

d an iron oleo rule that theywould employ no female teacherswho would not agree neither toflirt become engaged nor marrywhile held said positionsThe schoolmistresses had nothingto do but submit to tho cruel de ¬

oision as they regarded it butbided their time and soon hadthings all their own way Anelection came off and the horridmen who constituted the schoolboards were ingloriously defeatedand women were elected in theirstead and now the schoolmaamscan flirt to their hearts contentand love and be loved just likeIother people

BRAIN LEAKS

It Jiakes at least two to gossip one

to talk and one to listenThe trouble with some people is

that they mistake liberty for license

A great many men who belong tochurch do not belong to anythIng else

You may pray for what you wantbut God will RIve only what you need

Speaking of world benefactorwhats the matter with the individualwho invented pumpkin pie

The fatman deserves plenty of sym ¬

pathy No matter how badly he feelhis wife will think he is shamming

Man usually is willing to pay myrto be amused than instructd becau e

be thinks that be already ° ows it all

The husband who is always seekingto be a gojd fclUjyr11 usually KuccefdH

TWO WOMEN

President Roosevelt basthronghhis postmaster general removedfrom the Greenwood Del postJoffice Miss Huldah B Todd onthe specious plea that she is obnoxious to the mouthpiece of

Gas Addicks Senator AlleeMiss Todd had served five years aspostmistress at Greenwood andhad given the fullest satisfactionto the patrons of the office Shewas in no sense obnoxious to themShe was first appointed to a fur-y ar term by President McKinleyand after serving that was reappointed by President RooseveltShe had served one year under herreappointment when her officialhead was chopped off tc meet thepolitical demands of addioks and

crowdMinnie

Cox tendered her resig-

nation as postmistress at Indianola Miss but her resignation huenot beau accepted For about

year now she has been carriedupon the salary roll of the government on the presidents ordersthough she has rendered not onecents worfeh of service She waspersonally obnoxious in her officialcapacity to the vast majority ofthe patrons of the office who hadthe temerity to say so in resolu-

tions¬

adopted in mass meetingShe recognized the feat that herpresence in the postoffice was ob-

noxious¬

to the vast maiority of

patrons of the office and tenered her resignationWhat explanation can be given

of this wjdely different treatmentaccorded by President Roosevelt-to these two women

Can it be possible that negromgnia has been carried to thepoint where the blank sister is pro ¬

tooted and coddled and fed upongovernment pap simply becance

is black while the white ladys thrown out of office solely be

cause somebody who is the favor¬

ite of some politician wants thejob

These questions are pertinentnot impertinent The countrywould like to know the exact attitude of this administration to-ward women and it has right toknowAtlanta Constitution
