We print in another column, Mr. Beckham' lctttcr addressed to all Democrats. Every Democrat in Brcckenridgo county should rend it. lie tells the truth about Mr. Wattcrson. Mr. Beckham has been subjected to tho most virulent, venomous attacks that any man over had. What for? Simply because as Mr. Beckham truly says: "T pniiKl hnvn cscaned tho coveted calumnies of his pen and paper some years ago, if I had yielded to his solicitations that I mako way for him to run for Governor of Kentucky. And in 1907. when, as Governor, I had to appoint a Mayor and other oflicers in tho City of Louisville, I could have insured my election to the United States Senate by turning over to liis "ang the appointment of those oflicers and .surrendering my "determination to sec that the laws of the Commonwealth were enforced in that City." Another thing that has brought down the wrath of the Editor, Mr. Beckham assumed the right of all free American citizens asfay orin" Woodrow Wilson for tho Presidential nomination for this ho cnllsliim "a Kentucky crook in partnership with a Now Jersey crook." It is high time the Kentucky Democrats were asserting themselves as Mr. Beckham has ho manfully done, and pull loose from a gang who would turn over a great party to any interest who will bow down and servo them. THE BOSSES AMD POLIlWIAJiS. The bosses and politicians arc all against Wilson for tho reason that he is against them. A Clark manager said to tho News. "It" you want pie you want to get into the iClark band wagon. Ho and Ollie James will have tho say when oflices are handed out, no matter who is President." And so the matter goes. It is "pie" patriotism rather than good Government and rule of the people and by the poo pie. If Woodrow Wilson was a machine politician and had so acted in his own state of New .lerseylhe would have no trouble in landing the nomination for Presidcnt.In every state tho politicians are fight ing him just as they are in Kentucky. We are for Wilson bccausco believe him to be an able man, fearless, bold.andjimbitiousorlthe rights of the people. He is doing more for his state us Governor thanany Governor in recent year, lie has made his party redeem their'ante-election pledges and'pnmT iscs and inaugurated a thorough political house cleaning. Ho will do the same if elected President He is nearei the people than any man offering for that great ollicc today. We havn't a word of 'criti cism against Mr. Clark if ho is the choice of a majority of the Demo crats, well and good ho will have our hearty support but we do want tho Wilson Democrats to come out and stand for him. Attend the convention and asert your rights as free American citizens and Democrats. luNflHMflKDQRjv lSfi I "They're Of f Spring Race Meeting New Louisville Jockey Club May 11 to 28, 1912 nREDUCEDfl i KateS VIA L., HL & St. L.

New York Sun. A VERSE FOR THE BEGGAR. Victor Hugo's Response to the Old Blind Soldier's Appeal. A Frenchman, writing recently upon "Tho Mendicants of Paris,." recalls a pretty anecdote of Victor Hugo and a blind beggar. The beggar was an old soldier, very feeble and quite sight less, who was led every day by his little granddaughter to a certain street corner, where ho waited patiently for such scanty arms as tho hurrying pub lic might drop Into a small box that hung from his neck. One day a group of gentlemen halted near him, chatting, and ho heard tho name by which they called tho one who lingered longest. Reaching for ward as ho, too, was about to go, he caught him by the coat. "What do you want, my good man?" asked the gentleman. "I have already given you 2 sous." "Yes, monsieur, and I have thanked you," replied the veteran. "It is some thing else that I want." "What Is it?" "Verses." "You shall have them," said the gen tleman, and lie kept his word. The next day the blind soldier bore on Ills breast a placard with a stanza to which was appended the name of Vic tor Hugo, and the alms in tho box were quintupled. Tho Hues may bo thus translated: Like Bellsarlus and like Homer blind, Led by a young child on Ills pathway dim. The hand that aids his need, pitying and kind. Ho will not see, but God will see for him. How One Word Wns Born. The two friends had been dining on divers and sundry strango dishes at tho Cedars of Lebanon cafe, In the Syrian quarter of Now York. They wero drinking their coffee, thick with coal black grounds, and wondering whether they really enjoyed it, when Smithers suddenly cried out: "Pntaug! Pataug!" Tho waiter hurried away and came back presently bringing an ordinary corkscrew. "I was Just testing," said Smithers to his companion, "tho truth of tho story that tho first corkscrew seen in Beirut was brought there by u Yankee. It was a patented American contrap tion, and tho Syrians wcro amazed at its convenience. They spelled out on it tho mystic words, 'Pat. Aug. '70,' and took that to bo tho nama of tho Imple ment. Now, I bellovo tho Btory that pataug is its naino all over tho Levant." Now York Sun. Tho First Quarantine. From all accounts tho custom of quarantluo originated in Veuico Bomo whero about tho beginning of" tho twelfth century. All merchants and others coming from tho eastern coun tries wero obliged to remain in tho houso of St. Lazarus for a period of forty days beforo they wcro admitted into tho city. Taking tho idea from Venice, other European cities, espe cially port towns, instituted quaran tine during seasons of plague, und well dowu into modern times most nations adopted tho system, applying it when it was deemed necessary.

C.I Weatherholt, 'grocer, Clover port, says: "Two years ago I had little idea that 1 would ever be well again, in fact I had settled up my" affairs, believing that it would be impossible for me to last a great while longer. The pain In my back was terrible, especially when I stooped and it seemed as if someone had run a knife into me, My heart action was irregular; I became dizzy and often had to catch hold of some thing to keep from falling. My knee joints were swollen twice their normal size and I lost weight until 1 was a mere skeleton. The kidney secretions contained sediment and the passages were painful. Doctors' medicine did me no good, neither did the so-called kidney cures I took. A friend had been cured by Doan's Kidney Pills and on his advice, I decided to give this remedy a trial, procuring my supply at Fisher's drug store. I was surprised and de lighted with the results of its use and I continued taking them until I was cured." For sale by all dealers. Price 00 cents.
