WATTERSON WARNS ALL
AGAINST NEW “ISMS’
Lexington, Ky., Aug. 13.—Thousands
came here from all parts of the state
for the opening of the Blue Orass Fair
yesterday. The feature was an address
by Henry Watterson. He said In part:
"I do not say that party government
is a (allure, but 1 do say that party
government, claiming to be the repre
sentative of public opinion. Is a hum
bug. It Is a mischievous humbug.
Corruption of Parties.
"The corruption of parties—the rev
elations of this corruption which have
reached the common knowledge the last
fow years—has confounded tho Dem
ocrats and brought the Republicans to
their knees. The politicians of both
parties are appealing as never before
to the people. Mr. Roosevelt vies with
Mr. Bryan In the proposal of specifics
more or less novel and drastic, but each
claiming to be curative.
"Statesmanship, yielding to the sen
timental and humane pressure of the
times, has turned doctor.
The chief aim of the leaders seems
to be to take a short cut to the millen
nium; and Just now It Is a race be
tween two ambitious popular favorites
which of them shall get there flrnt. All
l his while, however, there Is no sus
pension In the work of organisation
going on In the back office. Mr. Roose
velt's back olfice and Mr. Bryan's back
office, among people of opposing camps,
to each of whom Independent thinking
Is held to be treason.
He Warns People.
"I warn our people against the In
trusion of certain 'Isms' which describe
themselves as 'progress' and muster
under the standards of what they call
.'God and morality,' but which fifty
years ago wont by a different name.
The ‘Isms' which take their Scripture
from Cotton Mather, not from Jesus
Christ; 'Isms' which where they can not
rule would bum at the stake; 'Isms'
which embrace the sum of all fanati
cism and ’ Intolerance, proposing that.
Instead of the rich, red blood of Vir
ginia, Ice water shall flow through the
veins of the people; 'Isms' which In
one word would blot Kentucky out of
the galaxy of stars and recreate her In
the dread Image of Maine and Kansas."

Says Anti-Trust Cam
paign Means Busi
ness Chaos.
New York, Aug. 18.—A Cleveland
dispatch says:
John D. Rockefeller's answer
President Roosevelt's anti-trust lltlga
tton campaign Is a prophecy of flnan
clal disaster that will sweep the coun
try from end to end.
“The policy of the present atlmlnls
tration,” Mr. Rockefeller said, "toward
great business combination i of
kinds will have only one result,
means disaster to the country, finan
cial depression and financial chaos.
The world already has a fair dose
of this since the extreme penalty Im
posed on one corporation, with a lim
ited number of shareholders, has caus
ed a loss of confidence, reflected In a
falling stock market, a tightening of
money and a fear of the future. The
newspapers are full of this slump and
reflect the feeling of unrest. They as
cribe It to the present order of things.
"What will be the effect when sim
ilar action Is taken against corpora'
tlons with stockholders scattered
throughout the country, the Investors,
the widows, the orphans? There can
be but one answer. The present situ
ation will be Intensified many fold. .It
does not require nn expert to reason
this out. The most superficial can do
I will go further and say that be
cause of the administration with Its re
ports every five minutes of new action
and of heavy fines, the country Is al
ready beginning to drift toward the
rocks of financial depression.
"Confidence Is gone and confidence
the basts of all prosperity. With con
fidence established there can be no
stopping of the wheels of progress.
Without It all Is at a standstill."
Mr. Rockefeller was loud In praise
of Secretary Taft and Charles -
Hughes, governor of New York.
secretary Taft. Mr. Rockefeller said,
he believed to be a man who would
do as his conscience dictated and that
he would not be guided by the beliefs
and policies of a predecessor.

INSIST!!!
When you step up to a fountain or into a
place where bottled drinks are sold tell the man
you want Coca-Cola. Close your ears to the “just
as good” argument because there is nothing just as
good as Coca-Cola. INSIST. You have asked for
Coca-Cola because you are convinced that
is what you want—don’t let a smooth-tongued salesman rule
your judgement. If the man insists go to a place where they
give their customers what they ask for. Imitations are
made to deceive you, not to please you.
THE REASON—Coca-Cola not only quenches
thirst and pleases the palate but it relieves
fatigue, and is the only beverage that
has vim and go to it.

trol which J. J. Hill and Great North

years over the Northern Pacific Rail
way has been lost, according to cur
rent railroad gossip. The reports have

Hill In all his deals. Is also reported
to have lost heavily In the shrinkage
of securities and to have been forced
to drop much of the stock.
Mr. Hill and his friends first began
to lose control when the great shrink
age In market values began, about a
year ago. The prices of the stocks
have declined so steadily that the Hill
Interests were unable to borrow the
money necessary to hold the large line
they were carrying, and were forced
to throw them on the market until
their controlling Interest was gone.
