Roach case has "been dropped by the
Board since Chairman Paul explained
that Probst, who threatened murder,

TWO SOULS WltHfBUTCA SINGLE THOUGHT.
Kentucky Democrats are pleased
with the progress of the Cox cam
paign in the" Sta,to and tho leaders
are willing to predict that It will
Show a .strong reversal of reform oyer
last November's election and give
Cox and Roosevplt a substantial
pluralty. Go-f. Oox's visits to tho
State In the last yoar or two have
woh him a Wldo support, while Hard-1
ing is practically an unknown.
Another reason Is that the voters
have In selecting Morrow ns Gover
nor tho reigns of our State Govern
ment wore turned over to Boss Tobe
Hert, tho ex-Indiana Prison Warden
and politician. A significant fact Is
Uiat you do not run across any Demo
crats "'bragging" that they bolted
and voted for "Howdy Ed," tho
'"rousing orator." Morrow's hand
ling of the Lockett "case, the holdup
of tho race track people by placing
a lot of incompetent hirelings In
fat" jobs apd similar acts have
about awakened the voters to tho
fact that in Hert's Governor wo are
in for tour years of Republican mis
management and political Jobbory.
However, this will all react In Gov.
Cox's favor and the "Morrow Demo
cratic voters" will redeem themselves
this fall.
The suqeess of tho Democratic
ticket will depend, however, on tho
conduct of the campaign by those In
charge. First tho committee will
have to watch for treachory from the
Courier-Journal and Times, who
whilo ostensibly supporting the Dem
ocratic candidate will knife and un
dermine tho committoo at the first
opportunity. To offset tills tho
Campaign Committee should mall a
copy of Congressman It. Y. Thomas'
speech on Bingham and his asso
ciates to every Democratic voter in

tco should ondeavor-to separate Sen
ator Beckham's face from tho na
tional ticket. . iFrojn every part of
Kentucky comes the ciy, "wo will not
voto for "Beckham," and right now
he is hopelessly beaten. Six years
ago Bepkham was chosen tho noml-
nee In a three-cornered primary by
a narrow margin with tho help of
Italy and his Bepubllcan associates
in tho mountain districts. During
the six years of Beckham's term he
has flaunted his prohibition views in
the face of thousands of liberal Dem
ocratic voters, who were begullded
into the supporting him in 1911, but
now await their turn for revenge.
Tho same applies to ithe Irish and
Irish-American voters, who-hltterly
resent his course 4n tho Senate when
. he voted against a resolution of sym
pathy for Ireland while that op-
presspa country was uguung ior aia
vory lito and freedom Tho mills
of the gods grind slowly but sure, and
those who have waited patiently for
their chance will have it this fall.

must see tho handwriting on. the wall.
Gov. Cox can not carry iBeckham.

James H. Jtlchmond should secure

"Tho most striking, however, of all

Gov Cox Is an earnest advocate

of woman suffrage. His attitude to

of his nomination:

he said, "and each man at a living

tive land a visit to which has been
forbidden him by the British Govern
ment on his Journey to Rome to see
the Pope.
Thousands were assembled On the
dock nnd the distinguished prelate
was given a dramatic American fare
well. As the ship was swung out
in tho Hudson tho Archbishop a
tall, sombro-clad .figure, distinguished
by clerical robeg as a high church
dignitary was seen on the- after
deck. His eerious face, surmounted
by lron-.gray hair, was continually
bowed in recognition of the wilfl
chorus of cheers wafted across the
intorveninfjjwator. In his left hand
he hold two' red ros&s, the only floral
offerings flung from tho dock that
could Teach him. With the other
hand ho waved a silent hlessing.
Hours before the sjiip sailed men,
women and children carrying Ameri
can and Irish flags assembled at the
pier. It was tho greatest farewell
given a traveler at this port for many
a year and the prelate was forced vir
tually to fight his. way thru the
throng to ot from 'his automobile to
the gateway.

crowd of Irish sympathizers who

received a final benediction from the
venerable father whose air of calm,
dovotod courage brought volley after
volley of cheers from sympathizers

In contrast to this scene was one
staged only a short distance away on
the British liner Olympic, lying at the
opposite pier. There a different
spirit was manifested. Instead of

tho Irish Topublic appeared at every

From London theAssocialed Prose
cables' that Poland and Ireland gavo
Premier Lloyd George a busy day
Wednesday. In addition to presid
ing at a Cabinet Council and dis
cussing theso questions, Lloyd
Goorgo received in tho afternoon
and again in tho evening a deputa
tion of Irish Unionists anil National
ists from Dublin and Cork, who
urged him to grant dominion homo
rule for Ireland. Tho deputation
was headed by Sir Stanley Harring
ton, Commissioner for Education In
Ireland, and Included a number of
prominent local men, among thorn
Prof. Wllbrnhnm Fitz John Trench,
Trinity Colloge. Dublin. With tho
Promior wero Andrew Bonar Law,
Lord Privy Seal; Sir Hamar Green
wood, Chlot Secretary for Ireland,
and ojhor ministers An official re
nort of the conference will bo issued
shortly. The conference was a prl
vato one. but at It thoro occurred a
tympathetic discussion of the entire
Irian situation.
The Premier's reception twice of
the Cork and Dublin deputation was
the causo of tho greatest interest in
tho lobby of tho Houso of Commons.
Here tho belief was expreesod that
the- vIcwh of men of such high
atandlnc in South and West Ireland,
ninny of whom .formerly were op-
nosed to 'homo ruio, couiu noi mivo
failed of carefuli consideration by
'ho ministers. It was sain m ino
lobby of Parliament that tho delega
tion had urged, the- Government to
Jrop the new Irish crimes JdU -and
substituto a generous dominion
homo rule measure. Whether any
Mitnir conies of the conference, the
view was held in tho lobby that tho
Premier's alacrity In receiving tho
deputation was highly significant.
The meeting at Cork at which it was
decided to semi tne uopuuraon. iu

ditional significance'' attaches to tho
fact that a full meeting of 4he Cabi

the present there Is virtually no civil
law south of the Boyno River except
that administered by Jlopubllcan '

between 60.000 and 80,000 fully
equipped British soldiers in Ire
land, and they ate telng. reinforced
daily by men arriving from across
tho channel. As a result,, therp
are more frequent and more stuo
born 'battles betwen"lhe troops and
the Republican volunteers, who, for
a time had things much their own
way. There have also been more
arrests for carrying arms and sedi
