Uoo Uto Famous Kentucky Kditor
Make* Vigorous Assault on Ikpublican
Ilaaiparta in His First
tlonipoign Speech in H1xUh?d Yours.
A dtHjMitcU from Louisville, Ky..
says llenry Watterson wus the principal
speaker at a Democratic rally
la the Masonic Thoatre Thursday
night. As this was Mr. Wntterson'a
lirst political speech since 189*2, and
wttt prohabiy bo his only platform
utterance duriug the present campaign,
much interest was manifested.
Ho spoke in part as follows:
"I truly rejoice that I huvo lived
to look upon a reunited Democracy,
f was born in a Democratic camp
daring what proved a had year for
Democrats, and attained my majority
fast in time to see the party go over
Ibo precipice of sectionalism to w ha I
iM**ncd Its ruin.
"wrtio IK) 111 lot a us it'll us there atv
lriKuy Issues, hut 1 son only one. It
wo cannot change our ruins at will.
If an organized and defiant minority
Inside a fortress can withstand the
siege of an undisciplined and III
equlpjK'd majority on the outside,
hovr shall talk about, trusts and tar
!ff?, about rebates and lttmk deposits,
about money and morals nnd stocks
juid bonds profit us?
"I behold now an almost reproduction
of the evil condition of fifty
years ago. The Republican party,
grown corrupt and arrogant, is putting
forth a tremendous effort to
retain the power wh.ch It has hi
much abused. If It succeeds it wi;l
never surrender It. short of some
dli^o oat a sly s m, making its "exit the
signal for, It may bo, a civil war.
To that all Its policies of militarism,
favoritism and class distinction have
long boon tending. I pray Clod that
this may never come. The way to
avert it Is by occasional change .?f
party, bringing homo to our pulmc
men their subordination to the people.
.
"If [ were a Republican I should
vate for Bryan. If I were a Republican
I should lot the chief with
Ms 'big stick' go hang. If I were
a Republican I should turn my back
a a candidate, no matter how perHoaaily
acceptable, who represents
the vicious mothods of ring rule and
tho stoaui rollor.
"Whatever usefulness tho Repubiiii?n
nnrtv lknuMOMMftd It has for tne
time outlived. It. Htanda today a
menace to equal taxation and economic
administration, if not to orderly
government and free institutions.
Ita leaders know this and knowing It.
they began early to prepare for the
coming Providential battle ,to fortify
a Held which they thought t ?
make impegrnable by the outlay of
vast resources and enduring skill.
"They expected to draw us into
this bloody ambuscade and to slaughter
us like sheep in the shamble.;
Disappointed iu their plan, what, do
we now see? We see all UlsguUe
of decency thrown aside; the black
flag of trustism run up to the masthead;
the docks crowded with corporation
counsel. The occupant of the
Whito House summons the unspeakable
Hearst as his star witness. Tho
honest rich are invoked to make
oommou cause with tho lawless rlcn.
All the perspective of truth and soberness
and common sense are lost
amid the roar of rant and cant ol
wolf-glorifying laudation and self
accusing promises of reform, with
Aldrich and Caunon, with Payne and
Dal/sdl and Bunny Jim Shorman for
their examples. ,
"Having pitched the campaign on
a falHo notes starting out with a man
of straw on a platform of lmpojtaro,
no argument Is too absurd, no
Illustration Is too rank for the men
and the Interests that do not mean
to be dislodged !f fraud and force
can save them."
Referring to a reported speech of
Congressman Longworth at Rock
Island, III., where R whh alleged thav.
Mr. Longworth spoke of President
Roosevelt as successor of Taft as
President eight years hence, Mr.
Watte rsoo said:
"Nicholas Longworth, the Prosl
deal's Hon-in-iaw, says 110 mu n<n

Government and converting
It into an Imperial republic, with
nothing wanting of monarehiam and

And an u Result Will Vot? for
Bryan?They Giro Reason for
the Change.
The following letter. whl?h was
published in tho New York Wf rid
one duy lust week, shows tho tendency
of Republicans at tho North to
vote for Llryau and Kent this year
To the Editor of The World:
My father (who has voted tho Republican
ticket since the organisation
of tho lKirty), my three brothers
and myself (nil of whom hn\"
voted the Republican ticket since
we turned tweuty-ono) have be< n
discussing the campaign. I^ttet night
wo made our decision, and it is that
wo shall vote for Mr. Hryan, for tho
following reasons:
1. Tin1 Republican party has been
in powor twaive years and Juih fore
e?i upon the country an iniquitous
tariff (the cause of all our trust
trouhlo), and now only because of
public clamor it promises a "revision."
2. Republican administrations
have constantly boon more and inoro
wasteful of tho public funds.
3. Because ovory trust in tho
country is arrayed on the side of the
Republican party. Why?
4. Because wo are tired of Speak
er Cannon overriding the will of the
people who elect what they intend
to be their representatives in congress.
5. Because the Provident after
issuing a loud warning to all his
oflicer holders to keep out of pi lilies
during the campaign, is tho principal
and worst violator of his own rule.
G .Because the President was not
honest in his answer to Mr. Bryan.
7. Because the President has
created or attempted to create a
crown prince.
8. Because we believe lu guaiantee
of bank deposits.
9. Because of the hypocritical attitude
of tho Republican platform
on publicity of campaign contributions.
We shall vote for a Democratic
governor because in case a kind
Providence should remove one or
both of the "dead ones" occupying
the New York seats in the United
States senate who will assist Mr.
Bryun.
We shall vote for Democratic
members of the Legislature for the
same reason. And wo shall vote for
Democratic congressmen.

toward the Republican allies who

l'w? of WJutfr Sprays (he Only Means
by Which the* Fruit Tree IN'nt Can

Mr. A. F. Conradf, entomologist
of tho Houth Carolina Experiment
Station, ha.s given the following informat
and directions for farmers
concerning the Jose scale-which
1h so Injurious to fruit ticca

The season Is rapidly approncching

sidering the question of San Jose

| must be applied when the trees lire

Insect Is very resistant and any spray
sufficiently penetrating to kill the insect.
uudor tho scale; if applied in
summer It would kill <'he trie. In
this article wo consider the essentials
of a good spray pump and the
grades or Ingredients. Blundering
when purchasing the equipment and
material may make spraying expensive
and unprofitable.
"In selecting a spray pump the
orchardlst must he governed bv the*
circumstances. Cheap tin or copper
pumps cannot bo used for this spray
nor do we recommend knapsack
pumps for this puropse. A substitute
pump with brass working parts
should he secured. It should be
fitted with 'Aft fi-M.t ?\f Iwicn ot.,i
1 n case of largo trees an extension
rod should ho uuod so that all parts
of the tree can bo reached. Idphl
oxtonslou rods can ho imrchased
from any dealer In spraying apparatus
or a serviceable one can bo
made of pas pipe with threads cut
at each end to fit hose and nozzle.
Where only a few trees are to he
sprayed tho end of the hose containing
the nozzle may he fastened to
a pole, and in this manner the tops
of trees can be reached. In all spraying
operations with lime-sulphur
wash a Vonnorel or misty nozzle
should bo used. These nozzles throw
cone-shaped, misty spray and do not
become leaky. A Bordeaux nozzle
is unsatisfactory, as it soon becomes
leaky. When buying Vermorel
nozzola, they are generally
supplied with several caps
having holes of different
sizes. The medium-size hose, which
la about 1-16 inch in diameter, is
best adapted for spraying this wash.
Where only a few trees are to be
sprayed, a bucket-pump, costing
about $8, will answer ths puropse.
In orchards of one hundred o<*
more trees, a barrel-pump, costing
from $15 to $20, is recommended
It may be fitted with two leads of
hoso, tho barrel having a capacity of
fifty gallons, thus economizing time
and labor.
Tho 1-2-lnch four-ply hose Is generally
used. It costH about 10 to 12
cents a foot. Tho best quality hose
costs about 16 cents, and is the cheapest
in the end. A wire-wound hose,
although heavier, will stand more
abuse, as well as a much higher
pressure. Kvory barrel pump should
ho provided with a good agitator
as well as an air chamber sufficiently
largo to insure steady pressure.
When tho working parts of the pump
are above the barrel or tank It prevents
tho parts from becoming rusty
and corroded. On the other hand, iis
often desirable to have tho working
parts in the barrel to facilitate
getting around trees with low, spreading
branches. For large orchards
of sovoral thousand trees, the pumn

... ...uuuwu v Li it nn^uu 11111IV Ul
three hundred gallons capacity. Such
a tank costs al>out $15. A double
action pump is recomrnende<i for this
equipment in all capes.
"It is recommended that calcium
lime ho used in all cases as magnesium
lime does not unite so well with
tho sulphpr and furthermore it often
contain lumps that will not slake.
Such lumps are a nuisance when
proparlng tho wash. Any grade ot
lime that does not hike completely
is undesirable. Great care should be
taken to avoid the lime becoming
air slake. Whore it must be kept
on hand for some time it is well to
sake it and keep it covered with
water in a pit.
"The two grades of sulphur used
I in making this wash are 'flour' and
unwio, uum tllf HiillKItlO
tory, hut as 'flour' !a about 50 per
, cent cheaper it is recommended.
I There are other brands of sulphur
1 in the market, but frequently are
lumpy and undesirable unless ground
before using. The price in small
quantities should not exceed 5 cent?
I per pound, while ground, or flour
of sulphur bought in 100-pound lots
should not exceed 3 to II 1-2 cents
per pound, f. o. b. original shipping

CAUGHT HIM AGAIN
TEDDY TAKEN TO TASK BY
JUDGE Pill EST.
Who Hays Roosevelt's Frioud and
Not Him Wiu? Standard Oil Attorney
in Missouri.
In his laat rejoinder to Mr. Bryan,
in the debate growing out of the
case of Governor Haskell, President
Roosevelt responded to .Mr. Bryan'a
challenge to "uaine a aingle oftlcial
connoted wltn a law-defying corporation"
who had declared or will
declare that ho la aupportiug Mr
Bryan, by quoting from a St. Louie
paper an interview with Judge Henry
Priest, of St. Louis, who, according
to the President, represented the
Watera-Pierce Oil Company, the
Western auhaldnry to the Standard
Oil Company, in which he stated that
ne would support Bryan.
Judge Priest has taken notice of
(he matter in an interview in The
St. Louis Republic, and his statement
illuminates a little more Mr.
Roosevelt's recklesanees of hia own
exposure when ho lays about among
bis enemies. Judge Priest says that
he ia not nor has he ever been an
odlciul of the Watera-Pierce company,
nor or any other oil company. In
19 04, he states, his firm was retained
by H. C. Pierce to represent his
minority iuteresl in the company
in u suit instituted by the Attornov
General of Missouri against the Standard
Oil Company, aa the holder
of the majority Interest in the W\tera-Pierco
Coinnanv. Th? stnnHo?..i
Oil Interest in tho suit, he states,
was represented by tho flriu of
Finkelnberg, Nngel & Kirby.
While the suit was ponding, says
Judge Priest, President Roosevelt
appointed ?ir. Finkelnborg Unit y. 1
States district judge . Mr. Nagel, continuing
nu senior member of tno tir*\
and representing tho Standard Oil's
interests, is now Kepuoitcnn nac?oir?l
committeeman for -sour! and o
engaged actively in t..o management
of Judge Tuft's campaign ior c...
Presidency. Senator Foraker has
pointed out that Judgo Taft recommended
to tho President the appoint
ment of a Standard Oil attorney 'n
Ohio to the kedoral bench, and .fudge
Priest has now shown that the Prondent
actually appointed an oil truct
representative to tho hone., in Missouri,
while a suit against tho company,
which ho was defending, w q
ponding, and that anotner member of
the same firm ?s and has been : ?
a long time prominent in Kopuuiican
party afTairs in Missouri.
Tho Charleston Evening Post says '
for every remote affiliation with the
trusts Mr. Roosevelt has attempted i
to show against the Democratic party
there has been uncovored a hundred-1
fold greater and closer association1
with the Republican party. Even in
the case of Qovornor Haskell it was
shown that the protection nf the
Standard Oil which Mr. Rooseve't
cited agalnat the Oovornor na proof
of hla control by such interests, was
originally Instituted by the President,
himself, during the territorial regime
in Oklahoma. In the very nature
of things It nocessarlly follows thst
such developments must result from
an exposition of the trust situatlo.i
In Its relation to public affairs, for
the Republican party is and has been
for years, and especially during the
trust growing period, in almost undisputed
control of the country's affairs,
and whatever advantages are
enjoyed by theso great corporations
against the public interests are due
to the complaceucy of the party in
power. I
This is so inevitable and so utterly
beyond dispute that it is utterly
futile and fatuous for the President
or any other protagonist of Judge
Taft to attempt to argue it otherwise,but
it is peculiarly brazen in Mr. I
Roosevelt, who has had intimate associations
with trust magnates and
lifted laws for their Ixmotit and appointed
their agents to high offices,
who is, in fact, surrounded with
the representatives of such interests
and obligated to them enormously for
financial support to his candidates
But Mr. Roosevelt has wie'dod absolute
authority so long and has
become so accustomed to have his
lightest won! prevail against tie,
moflt solemn truths from other sources,
that he has thrown himself Into
the campnlgn melee without regard
to consequences, and he can not yet
understand how It is that he is covered
with wounds. If he continues
his participation in the campaign
at close range the Roosevelt legend
is likely to be hacked to |?lec3s by
the enemies lie is ktcklug up from
every hush.

GLAD TO BET BACK

SOUTH CAItOLJNA IS A SWKKT
TAItODISK
Comparted to RprinKficId, Illinois,
Said uu Old Colored Woman Wlw
la Coming Hack.
At the union depot, 8unday afternoon,
waiting for a train to
Augusta, was a negro woman who
wa? on her way to some point In
South Carolina, says the MacoD,
Ga., Telegraph.
While in the waiting room she
fell to talking to some of the negroes
in the room with her, and i
from the conversation It was learned j
that ffhe was from Springtleld, 111 . j
and was returning to her old South ;
Carolina home.
She said that seven years ago her
people went to Springtleld, because
they had been assured that the negro
w-as more respected in that section
of the country, and had every
right that white people had. The
children went to the same school,
they ate nt the same ro3*.anranh,
that there was no Jim Crow cars
and that there was no distinction in
anything 011 account of color. She
said that to some cxunt they foiriu
this to be true, but there was no

and they kept to themselves. They
found that while it might he unde-- ,
stood that there was no distinction,)
and that the white women called1
a negro woman Mrs. So-and-so, there
was no such thing as calling socially,
nnd but for the fact that they were
there and could not get away they
would have returned.
In the recent trouble in Springfield
the negroes were treated worse
by the whites than they ever were
in the South, and every negro who
could sell out and move was leaving.
This woman was threatened with
whipping and her own family were
compelled to leave. She does not
know where they went, because in
the confusion there was no mopping
and hunting for kinfolks. She
only knows tnat before the separation
they all wanted to go bac.<
to South Carolina, and she was going
there, knowing that if alive they
will sooner or later meet her there
She said that down South, in
South Carolina, or elsewhere, the
mob went after the one negro. In
Springfield they went after the whole
hunch. In the South, she said, the

in safety and peace aa anybody, so in
Springfield they were not only after
the bad ones, but the good ones, too.
No negro was safe, and she had
noticed that this feeling against the
negro wan growing stronger every
year. Bhe prodictce that in a few
years there will be separate schoo's
for whites and negroes all over the
West and North .
.South Carolina was a paradise
to the Went fov the negro, she said,
hut the fool negro didn't know it
until he spent all his money get'lug
away, as ho could not pet hack. I
One old negro woman sitting in
the waiting room, who has been
listening to the talk in silence, threw
up her hand and rolled her eyes upward
and exclaimed: "Ain't dat
de trufe." , *
Stole Whole Family.
One of the most peculiar canes
of larceny "after trust" on record
was revealed at Annlston, Ala.,
when it. is alleged W. C. Irwin, .1
white man, was arrested on a charge
of stealing the whole family of J.
M. Humphreys, a white planter of
Talladega county. It is alleged that
Irwin had been living in seclusion
with the woman and her three
children in Annlston.
