In -the 'Democratic ranks, which is a
v. .. a Zj J tl.n nTit4A vnan'fl

itetrest in. G. O. P. State affairs. The
iRajwblkian panty in Kentucky to
,, doomed for years Ao come, and no'

pWioen leaders outside of Loulfi
vUle. And Jthese same leaders at-
HrlbUfte that fact to two causes
Got. Morrow's administration and
Ui Searcy-Chilton machine in. Lou-
1vie. Those State" Republican,
leader are outspoken to, saying that
the .machine's 'act to forcing a ticket
on .the people here through the aid
of a, solid, phalanx of 27,000 negro
voter makes the majority ot white
Totem in .the State Tally to the Dem
ocratic standard. All agree that the
SeArey-CMKon machine to Loute
vine, while Injurious to this city,
Is the Democratic party's biggest
amet in the State.
One pleaslnig feature to Louisville
Democrats 4s the fact that the Dem
ocratic majority in the Senate will
put a damper on .the performances
'-of S. Thr.uiston Ballard, the Repub
lican Lieutenant Governor, who per
fArmfld In -the last session like the
fcraikeat- Partisan '-imgiinablo."-Batr!
lard -was touted and advertised as
"the (big business man," "the non
partisan citizen," etc., and. wo wore
told by the Republican organs that
he would act so that an observer
wouldn't bo able -to distinguish his
political affiliation. Just as eoon as
Burton's treachery to the Demo
crats became an accomplished fact
Ballard dropped the non-partisan
mask, assumed the whip hand and
Toted with the Republican, machine
en any and every measure that
would embarrass or hurt the Demo
cratic party. It was JJouti. Gov.
TJallard's vote, as presiding officer
of the Senate, that abolished the
registration certificate, which . gave
free reign to negro repeaters in city
elections. The 27,000 negro vote
in Louisville was made possible by
Ballard's vote, more negroes being
TegLatored hero than the United
States census or tho City Directory
show. Ballard's deciding vote made
It 'Imposlsible to keep a check on the
thousands oif negro crooks and thugs
who voted in different eectlonls of
the city.
Following the big Democratic
gathering recently a group of close
political observers were1 discussing
the case of Lieut. Gov. Ballard, and
r It was the consensus of opinion that
when ' you see a man of, his type
pointed out as a high-class non
partisan Republican, to look out for
h'lm when the test comes. Often we
hear (the remark made that "soHand
so Is a Republican in national pol
itic, but in State and city affairs
le Votes for the man, regardless of
politics." That Is bunk, pure hnd
I,mple. ' As dn Ballard's case, they
travel, along until given the oppor
tunity and they will perform for the
Republican machine or party just
like any Tenth ward politician. They
are non-partisan until the oppor
tunlty -arrives. Take the case of tho
t-. semtlemen who composed the local

If Mayor Quta is the goody-
man his supporters picture
is he will -out the useless expendi
tures' ami waste all around him and'
thu.,mke It uncecessary to further
gouge, -the taxpayers-. To b'egto
with, le can cut fifty men off the
present Incompetent Keystone police
department, wfalch would mean' a
saving of $75,000' a year. The pres
ent police department Is a burden
and drag te the taxpayers. The,
force is composed principally of a
lot of hill 'billies who- haven't . the
slightest qualification for a polIceJ
officer, and the reign 'of burglaries
and crime in Louisville prove that.
These "yap" cops do not even make
posts day or night, as citizens know
who remember way back wlien, -,we
had real police. In other days, the
average resident knew that the po
lice on his beat made posts at cer
tain hours and in an emergency
knew where to .locate one. The Key
stoners do not make posts, but to
lieu ride wildly all over towni in
"flivvers." When not making posts
the "flivvers" are used to carry the
officers' itamllies about or to do tihclr
family marketing. No wonder the
tax rate m'S Iks high. Gnsollno and
"flivver" riding comes, high.
Speaking of the police making
nests, does anyone heljeve the
Besten-Langen rohbery would have
happened if the Keysitoners made
posts? Here was a $5,000 robbery
In a big Fourth avenue show wln
dpw surrounded .by many glittering
electric lights, the stripping of that
window taking .much time and pains,
yet not a policeman came that way.
For the past year crooks have had
easy picking on Fourth street, and
for a while last spring a safe was
blown every Sunday on that thor
oughfare. And the Keystoners
haven't even a clue. After each ai-
taT?llke-th'elBesten rdbbery-tbe -ad'j
ministration tries camouflage. It
used to he Col. Patty would ladle
out a lot of "bull" about the splen
did Keystone police band Now
Prof.. Ragsdale tells about the study
of psychology and physiology In the
police school. This weeK we were
told, in press agent style how the
night watchmen were going to be
made into regular Keystoners with
Instructions from the present police
department officials. That's rich,
Isn't it? The plan Is to have the
night watchmen do the work of the
police department and prevent rob
beries like the Besten-Langen affair.
Another (good excuse for Quto to
drop about fifty of tho present police
department and save gouging the
taxpayers. Another saving would be
to dron tho police band, tho police
school, a dozen or two of the police
"fltwere." Tho last item would
mean much, as the "flivvers'? and
police patrols are constantly being
wrecked by the Keystone drivers.
Aside from Quln's economic
promises the voters were told ot
his Sunday-school and church
propensities. If this is true the
Mayor needs to introduce some re
form methods among his police
and firemen. Hardly a day passes
but thero is a Scandal In the di
vorce courts involving a policeman
or fireman, three higher police offi
cials being connected with Immoral
divorce cases the last few months.
This past week a police s.ejrgeant,
a married man, was mixed In a
divorce scandal, and this same -ser
geant, who hasn't been to long froni
the "sticks," distinguished himself in
another way some time ago. As
agent for the Menace, a niudgutter
A. P. A. publication, this new
comer In1 the city attempted to cre
ate religious prejudice between
men and women,, citizens and neigh
bors who had lived here all their
life. Keep tills item in mind and
see if Qnln will take stronger action
than Col. Petty, Uio latter being
t ., t, '' . fa ,,dl
turber" clrcidating un-American lit
erature and using Central Police
Station for his, distributing point.
Negro gambling games to the negro
Tenderloin section were warned by
the police officially this week -to:
stop tor the present. Who higher
up gave those instructions and did
Mayor Qutn take the tip from the
Kentucky Irish American, which ad-
vised

the Ministerial Association
and put the' police to work.

During the recent-political cam

of copies of the Torch, ani A. P. A.
publication, of Aurora, Mo., were
-circulated to -carry on the religious

of these foul and un-American tac
tics since the election by men and
women of all creeds seems to nettle
the gentlemen in control of the Re
publican party hero and to remove
that taint tho Torch Is being cir
culated again in an attempt to ab
solve tho Republican. leaders, and
organ from being nfc fault. Tho
Torch da used to attack Dr. Mulllns,
former Attorney General Garnett,
Judge R. W, Bingham, the Courier

who does nbt approvo of religious
bigotry. The following are extracts
taken verbatim from the Torch.
"On. November 8 patriotic voters

"Tho Democratic press of the city

"It was under that inspiration
that much hyphenated Romanists
organized their notorious w'recklng

dragging Masonry into politics was
first given utteranco by a Demo
cratic loader who Is a Past Grand
Master of Kentucky Masons, James
Garnett." i
"And it is this reaction ot right
eous resentment that .gives the flus
tered Papists the poor excuse for
talking about what tho Masons, Odd
Fellows, Juniors or like fraternities
did. No one need doubt what the
Hibernians and Knights of Columbus
did, always .have done and always
will do. Tho Romanists took tho
head ot the Trades and Labor As
sembly off their ticket to accommo
date a Roman Catholic."
In a headline tho Torch refers to
Dr. E. Y. Mulllns as "Tho Muddled
Dr. Mailtos' and says: "Dr. Mailtos,
like many others ot his profession,
has come under the spell of Jesuit
Ism which counsels Protestants to be
passive., Dr. Mulllns has himself
quoted to two pro-Irish, Catholic or
gans nearly a month after tho elec
tion, He-la Prudent of the Baptist
Theological Seminary, and "was an
active supporter of the Romocratlc
ticket. It took just such a twisting
of charaoter for Wtoodrow' Wilson, to
take a Jesuit Secretary with him to
tho. White Hoiise."
"The 'Evening Times finds a new
cause for complaint In its story
about a very wealthy Catholic cap
italist who-recently declined to in
vest to a Louilsvllle proposition' be
cause of the A. P. A. campaign. If
.worst comes to the worst he will
rtill be able to And what he likes in
Vienna, Madrid, Dublin, Cork or
Kilkenny' (
Judge Bingham's plea for a non
partisan board Is referred to as
"Bingham's ibuncomb'1 and "tho
whole Romocratlc gang was repudi
ated for public safety. If the peo
ple had expected safety from the
other source they would have chosen
eome of Bingham's associates for1
public office
"The- Papists, had framed their
plan most beautifully. All tho local
papers with th,e exception of the
Herald, i.Was Heed un for the fake
Democratic ticket.. The Irish Amer

deputies to debate rthe matter and

Dall to secrot session w-sr discussing
the dispute between tho delegates
to the London confeience, who were
the signers ot the agreement, and
Eamonn de Valera-, the Republican
President, and his adherents on this
issue, as to whether the delegates
had the power to conclude the
agreement. i
Dublin looked like a convention
city. It was crowded with men and
women seking by their Influence to
affect the result of the Dall's action.
But nobody will venture to, predicfl
the result. It is possible that, in
stead of a diretc vote on ratification
or rejection, of- the agrement, tho
Dall will refer the question to "the
people ot Southern Ireland through
a pleblcite.
The Ulster Cabinet's reply to tho
Prime Minister's letter of December
5 definitely rejects the invitation to
enter the Irish Free State, but it i3

coerce the Goverpment.

the Commons nor tho Dail Elreann,
however, had yet come to grips on
the actual decision respecting rati
fication, which has ibeen postponed
until Thursday. A feature of the
debates in Westminster was a bitter
attack on tho Government by Lord
Carson in the House of Lords, and
Capt. Charles Craig, Irish Unionist,
(n the House of Commons. (Lord
Carson especially showed not the
slightest dlm'toutfom in Ws old-tlmo
denunciation: ot any accommodation
with nationalist Ireland. He dared
the Government to do anything to
stir Ulster against the empire.
In supporting the treaty Lloyd
George appealed to every member
of the Comomns not to say a word
to make the .task of the Irish advo
cated for ratification, more difficult.
Cheering broke out again when, he
made this statement. The Premier
then continued by saying that these
Irish leaders were flghtiing to make
peace between two great races de
signed by providence to work to
gether in partnership and friendship.
"Let us help them," he said.-
