Not Dominate His Politics J JUST + RUNNINP FOR GOVERNOR tOur attention has been called recently toan Item In the Benton TribuneDemocrat and a comment on It by the Todd County Times both oftwhtchareunfalr because the first lla absolutely untrue and a part atlleast of the comment Is we be I eve altogether unwarranted The Trtbu Democrat article is as follows Ed Shlnnlck of the Shelbyvllle Record Is determined to keep the religion of the Hon Ben Johnson before the public notwithstanding the tact that Mr Johnson Is a Catholic We roust confess that we cannot see how this Is ping to benefit Mr Johnson and cant understand why Mrj Shlnnlck persists In keeping It before the nubile The Todd County Times comment Is as follows Pbsslblv Mr Shinnick thinks It wilt help Johnson Didnt this orthodox Christian country elect as President of the United States two veal 010 a man who no more be lieves In the Immaculate conception etec thjan lid1 Bob Ingersoll Of course i theres no comparison be twe fm ffCatholicism and Infidelity but Js peopje seem to have ac qulrefra habit of bestowing their best offices upon the men who differ the most widely from them and as the Catholics are outnumbered nearly ten to one by the Protestants In Kentucky It looks like Mr Shin nicks logic Isnt altogether faulty The editor of tho Times has Just as much respect for a good Catholic ns ho has for n good Protestant and Just as much contempt for a mean Protestant as he has for mi menu Catholic Thb only possible excuse for making Ben Johnsons re ltelruv convictions an Issue In this cnmpnlgn Is the fact that a number of leaders of his church have an nounced that they wished that or rnnlatlon to control this country a tMnir that no rolltrlous dnnorolnatlon should be permitted to do wtiethev Baptist Presbyterian Christian Methodist or anything olse Our forefathers fought and bled for re Unions liberty anti every mnn Is on tltloil to the enjoyment of that blew ad heritage Keep church and State forever separate Is tho wisest advlco over given by Americas vs pst statesmanIf friends persist In making his religion an IssueI of course It will bo met bY the other side They can expect nothing else The people however are not dis posed to make it an Issue as was evidenced two years ago when Taft not a believer In tho divinity of Christ In the orthodox sense defeated William J Bryan one qf the most orthodox of Presbyterians for the highest office In the land and those who bolted Tart on account of his religious views were shown by the returns to be as scarce as the pro verbial hens teeth In answer to the first we want to say that as to what Ben Johnsons ellglon Is the Shelby Record has never referred It has said how I over that no mans religion his Democracy Integrity and ability be ing equal to that of his opponent should cut any figure In the race The question of Mr Johnsons re ligion was not Injected Into this race by him or his friends It was II started and worked altogether by his opponents who hoped thereby- to Influence a bigoted few In Ignor- Ing his merits when thY go to the pollsThe Times says Didnt this or thodox Christian country elect as President of the United States two years ago a man who no more be lIeves In the immaculate conception than did Bob Ingersoll Yea It did But did the Democrats of Ken tucky contribute In any way to that election Ben Johnsons race Is for a State office In Kentucky He asks L for the nomination at the hands of the Democrats A great many of his frlonds are nonCatholics men with a disposition to Ignore the fact that Mr Johnson Is not of their re ligious affiliation Just as the Catholics have Invariably done in ever election since the organization of time State Did anybody ever hear of the Catholics saying they would not vote for a man because he was not ia Catholic Then why should any Democrat say that he will not vote for a man because he Is one To thus draw the line from a re ligious affiliation standpoint no matter what denomination a candi date may belong to Is dangerous to the party and undemocratic In every way If a fight was made against a Baptist or a Methodist or a man of any other church because of his re ligion alone would not tho members of his church be offended and pro test against such treatment Do those who object to Ben Johnson because of his rellelon know that there are 65000 Catholic voters In Kentucky and that a large major Ity of them are Democrats And then as there were less than 420 000 votes polled in Kentucky In 1907 by what mnnnor of figuring do you find that 65000 Is only one tenth of that number There has never been but one State finger who was a Catholic since Kentucky was Emitted to the Union and there would not have been a Democratic Administration within the past thirty years If It had not been for tho votes of Democrat- Ic Catholics This being true are theY not entitled to fair treatment at least Ben Johnson is not run ning because he Is a Catholic but because he has an ambition to be Governor and the right Jo do so thnt In accorded every citizen of this Commonwealth It he Is not the hest nuallfled man for the place he should be defeated Ills religion nor the religion of any other man should be Injected Into the race We will say this further if no man can beelectedto an office in Kentucky now or hereafter because of his re ligious denominations some of us would like to know ItSholby Record JAMES WAS RI01IT AS TO THE SENATORIAL IMUMAin Bryans Commoner says It seems that Congressman Ohio M James protested against

all by the same route That is to say it will flanguish In Congress until a two fI thirds vote in its favor has beenI j mustered In the two Houses and will then go before the Legislatures i But meanwhile It Is Interesting to observe that the advocates of this amendment have not lost sight of I the alternative method of getting It Inktgan and up to the present no less than 30 of them have passed joint resolutions proposing that Con gress call a constitutional conven tion If but one more Legislature follows suit the necessary two t thirds will have spoken and Con gress will have to call the conven t tlon at once Why then pursue the campaign In the Senate where opposition to the amendment is organized and determined The Lower House Is friendlyI to the proposed reform and has already approved it more than once by a twothirds vote but at the other end of the Capitol It has I r bitter and resourceful enemies Why I i not abandon the effort to circumvent li these enemies and appeal directly to i the country If but one more Leg I islature is brought Into line the ap proval of the Senate will be no long er necessary under the Constitution Two considerations however point to the

OUT OF CONGRESS Formal Protest May bie Made by Macon BASED ON THE ROBERTS CASEE The Resolution Will be Prepared by Arkansas Representative I WILL CONSULT KKNTUCKIANL Washington Jan 26That Representative elecl Caleb Powers of the Eleventh Kentucky district will not be sworn in as a member of the new House of Representatives with out formal protest was definitely settled here today when It was an nounced by Representative Robert Bruce Macon of Arkansas that he would In all probability object to Powers taking the oath and move that his case be referred to a spec ial committee for an investigation of his right to a seat in the House In my Judgment said Mr Ma con today coldblooded murder is a worse crime than bigamy and If the Republicans would not allow Roberts of Utah to sit with them In the House I do not see how I can sit In Congress with a man charged and three times convicted of mur der In the first degree owing his release from prison to the executive clemency of a partisan Governor of Kentucky I orII sult members of the Kentucky dele gation before I take any action but this is a national matter one affect Ing Congress and I will not neces sarily be controlled by anyone It I reach the conclusion that Powers should not be allowed to be sworn in If a member of the Kentucky delegation objects well and good If no member from that State makes a protest my present Inclination will be to do It The subjoined resolution may be offered by Mr Macon when Powers presents himself at the bar of the HOUPO to be sworn in Whereas It Is charged that Ca lab Powers a Representative elected to the Sixtysecond Congress from the Eleventh district of the State of Kentucky Is ineligible to aII seat In the House of Representatives and Whereas Such charge Is made through a member of the House on his own responsibility as such mem I ber and on the basis as he asserts ot public records of the courts of the State of Kentucky evidencing such Ineligibility Resolved That the question of prima fade right of the said Caleb Powers to be sworn in as a Representative from the State of KenJJ tucky In the Sixtysecond Congress as well as to his final right to a seat therein as such Representatl be referred to a special committee of nine members to be designated by the Ways and Means Committee of the House and until such committee shall report thereon and thn louse decide such question the said Caleb Povovn shell not be sworn In The above resolution Is based on that in the celebrated Roberts case At the beginning of the Fiftysixth Congress Brigham Roberts a Rep esentntlveelect from Utah appeared at tho bar of the House to take the oath of office Upon the motion of Representative Tayler of Ohio his case by a vote of 304 to 32 was referred to n special committee which reported against him Nearly I all tho Republicans of the Horse voted against Roberts taking the oath of office Among thorn was tho then sitting Republican member Representative Vincent Borelng of the district from which Powers comes The small minority of thir tytwo In favor of Roberts taking the oath was composed largely of Democrats including the Democratic leader Representative Richard son of Tennessee Kentucky members of Congress who were told of Mr Macons Inten tions today did not care to comment upon tho CPBO at this time Tho mat ter will bo discussed by the delegation before the next Congress meets and a decision as to what attitude will be taken by the delegation will then be reached Should Powers be refused the oath the Republicans of his district would be compelled to nominate some other candidate for Congrers and a special election would be call ed by the Governor And lie Escaped But says the returned explorer although I seemed to be hopelessly lost

1009 pooled tobacco will be distributed among the growers in too different counties by the Burley Tobacco Society next Saturday This payment is estimated by the society officials to be about 20 percent of the amount tied up in the II pool and will be the first money iiiiifi l which has ever been received by the poolers from the crops which they consigned to the society In 1900 Nearly the entire sum of about 800000 will be paid to Kentucky growers and although it will be a small part of the enormous amount so long tied up in tho pool it Is In the aggregate n considerable sum and it is believed will give some relief to the financial situation in many localities and that the 800 000 in cash will have perceptible- o influence on the business of the State This 800000 by no means represents the entire proceeds of the sales from the 1909 pool up to dat and while the Burley Society de clines to statesjust how much of the pooled tobacco has been paido when another division of

STORY Reminiscenses of Old Days When Haunted Houses Were Common I THE WAX LONG SINCE IlKMOVED I Editors HeraldAs but a few I now living over heard of the return to this house of the weird spirits of its deceased occupants and their nightly visits to this home of haunts as told many years ago by the Ignor ant and superstitious persons of that time perhaps the story of the haunt ed house on the Morgantown road as It was told sixtyfive years ago may Interest the readers of The Her aId as many of them never heard of a Hartford ghost story before One mild from the court house In Hartford on what was known many L years ago as the Morgantown road but now known as the Hartford and Beaver Dam turnpike is a country residence that to pass it after dark by the small white boys or some of the older colored population was a terror of that time HflW the house came to bo known as the haunted house or at whet time If became thus known to tho believers J I In ghost stories was never known by the superstitious of that time The house Is a brick one built Sw the plan of ai welltodo citizen fbf that time Is one and a half sto I rles high fronts the road and lej t about far enough from the road to start an old time ghost story from From what I learned at Hartford when I was a small boy Sam Smith the owner of the farm and builder of the house was a prominent man of that time and died before he fin ished the house He appears to have had a desire to be long remembered and on the stone sills of the front windows are these words In bold re I lief Sam Smith 1840 which can yet be read by a careful observ er from the road Sam Smith appease hayodleS suddenly leaving his buMness in a very unsettled shape He appears to have left much property and owed much at the time oX his death He was a prominent officer of the State IMilitia and at his sale Frank Griffin the local school teacher at that time and wdo owned the farm be tween the Sam Smith farm and the town of Hartford bought his sWord had It shortened and for years used It for cutting up corna much bet ter use than stabbing the lives out of men In 1849 when my father moved his family to Hartford tip Sam Smith house was called The haunted house by persons who were old enough to know better When I first saw the farm it was owned by Larkin Nall and later was 1 owned by Ellsha M Ford who own J JedI it at the time of his death In r 1851 but I never believed that eith er of these Christian gentlemen had Anything to do with starting a re port that the house was haunted The story of the haunted house was that at various times of the year the spirits of some of the de parted members of the household would return to the house that lato In tle night lights could be seen In the house and Mrs Smith and her domestics could be heard and seen at their spinning wheels reels hackles etc while the voice of odd JI Mrs Smith could be heard com mantling her servants to bo more vigilant about their work In con versation with an aged colored woman about a return of the departed spirits to this world my mother told her that the spirits of the dead nev er returned to this world of sorrow again and that there were nq ghosts or haunts in this world The old colored woman said 0 yes dar Is Way In de night you can hear old Mrs Smith spinning on do big wheel nnd say to de little nigger gal rock dat cradle rock dat cra die

none Vofthe spooks wero following me In Company with some other small wh te boys we visited the haunted l house one bright November day and wentVi the stairs until we could see o SENATOR ELIHU ROOT ONCE SECRETARY OF STATE ELIIIU ROOT took a step downward when he became a United States senator He had been secretary of state In the cabinet of President Roosevelt and tho position of secretary of state for this grand and glorious republic is one that is not to be sneezed at by the highest and mightiest of the earth The secretary of state is our foreign minister so to speak He holds Uncle Sam in tow nnd prevents him from jump ing upou other nations to get the full nelson hold and down them for fancied or real grievances The secretary of state either keeps the peace or breaks It by his diplomatic tact and his determination that Uncle Sam shall be respected the world around There is only one secretary of state but there are ninetytwo senators Mr Root who wanted to return to the practice of the law In New York city becauso ho could muko many times the iOO salary of a senator kindly con sented to step down a peg nnd sit under the smile of Sunny Jim Sherman of Pticn vice

the floor from which the autumn wind had removed the light dust and boy as I then was I could not help think ing that the clatter of the loosely nailed boards In the window frames and the rattle of the dry gourds pieces of rope etc on the floor greatly aided the spooks in their carnivals on dark and windy nights- I heard my oldest brotherthen- a young manask a very pious old colored man why the house was call ed the haunted house and he said that after Sam Smith died his farm was offered for sale and a man of means wanted the farm but didnt want to pay Its value for it and started the haunted house story to buy the farm for less than Its worth but I never believed that Larkin Nail or Ellsha M Ford were either of them that man My father was an enemy to all ghost stories which he said were the work of tho devil yet he would stay nnd hear them told and when ho first heard tile story of the haunted house on the Morgantown road he gave It as his opinion that It was the work of some schemer for personal benefit I heard him ask a business man of Hartford who came Into his shop which was on the site of the Thomas Bros counting room why the Sam Smith house was called a haunted house The gentleman talked to my father In so low a voice that I did not hear what he said but my father never spoke of the haunt ed house after this Interview on that subject One bleak December evening a few years ago I passed the haunted house of my boyhood days and per haps I took my last look at it It appeared to have undergone much improvement and the merry voices of little children at play In the yard I thought was enough to remove the Ignorant superstitious ban that years ago made this house a terror to those who were young or un Informed by a more enlightened age What a mighty lever is the power of refinement when strengthened by the teachings of the scriptures The many who now daily pass the haunted house of sixtyfive years ago and hear the joyful shout of lit tle children at their playhow little do they know of the dark shadow that years ago hung over this now happy country home EDWIN FORDES Fordsvlllo K- yChildren Cry FOR FLETC- HERSCASTOR IIA ooopoooooooooooO
