It was because the Democrats be

DEMOCRACY AND TRUSTS
The voter who really wishes to
cast his vote so it will count for
the enforcement of the laws now
in the U. S. Statute books, and
the enactment of others to re
strain, control or abolish trust?,
will act wisely to well 'consider
what assurance Democracy1 gives
or can give, that if . placed iu
power, it win carry out uis views
or accomplish bis"!purpo8e.,''
mental and b.isic doctrine of the
Democratic Party, the: one that
called it iuto being, And the one
that it has always adhesed to, is
contained in the Kentuaky Vaad
vr:::- r l.,,!'!.. ke t70S
wherein the doctrine of stiict

of the United States and State!

which the people were aroused
against tne old Federalist party,
and the party of Jelferson waa
organized and he was elected in
1800. '
' Forty years thereafter iu 1840,
the first reaoltion of the Demo
cratic platform reiterated the
dootrinoof strict construct! 11
Tbis plank has beon resiUrinpd
in every eubseqnent plutfo m of
thD.imooraticpurty and is often
reffered to as one of the time
honored principles of the Damo
cratic party and one that auy
honest Democrat whfn iu Power
will feel iu conscience and honor
bouud to respect.
Uuder the doctrine of "Strict
Construction of the U. S. con
stitution and State rights" no
power can bo found in the Con-
titution to authorize the Ueneri 1
Government to pass laws regul.i-
iup; or abolishing trusts, because
no such, pjwer is specifically
grantel in the Constitution to
the Qoneral Government.
It was because the three Dem
ocraticJudges of the Suprotne
Court of the United States hon
estly believe in tbis dootrine
that they voted in the case a-
gaiust the Great Northern Mor
ger to dismiss the proceedings
Union's : last move in the
county seat matter is character
istic of that city Union knows
very well that if the question is
allowed to come b fore the voters
that her chance of retaining the
county seat is best expressed by
zero. Union's only hope to win
the battle is to resort to some
method whereby the people will
never be able to express their
wishes in the matter. : They are
uot willing to allow the question
to come to a vote) but hope to
bead it off by some trumped up
legal tangle. Tbis question ha;
been threshed over, in the courts
without a final settlement, and
the people now demand an op
portunity to settle it themselves
with the ballot. This is as it
should he, but just so long as
Union has her way the people
will not be considered. The
people uuderstaud Union's ati
tude and when she has exhausted
herself in vain attempts to dis
franchise the vote.', they wdl
proclaim their wishes in no un
certain manner. .
It is certainly very gratifying
to the republicans who are in
close touch with the different
portions of the CDUuty to hear
the unanimous accord and
hearty support that will be giv
en this year to the ticket. If
this is a republican county, tne
offices should be filled by repub
licans.
Gentlemen who accept checks
from polite strengers and give
the change might got a tip or
two by reading the newspapers.
With the Japs keeping them
on the jump all the time, it is
singular the Russians should
want spring.
Judge Parker might, at the
very least, give his opinion
ubout the late spring and the
prospects for the rye crop.
