 The relations of political parties in Kentucky
to civic morality do not differ materially from those in
neighboring states. Republicans and Democrats are nearly
equally divided. Ordinarily there is a Democratic majori—
ty, thought small, in the elections for state offices and
during the presidential year. At the last general election,
however, for state offices, the Republicans carried the
state. This was due in great neasure to the general dis-
satisfaction growing out of the turbulent scenes and quest-
ionable methods incident to the displacement of Taylor in
1900 by the General Assembly and the substitution of Goebel,
his political opponent. 0n the face of the returns Taylor
was elected. But it was alleged that many graudulent votes
were casté7§nasmuch as the General Assembly was the ultimate
Court of Appeals, in questions of this sort, the defeated
candidate carried his case before that body. The deeds of
violence which culminated in the assassination of Goebel
accentuated and strengthened political antagonisms. Upon
the death of Goebe1,th° Lieutenant Governor succeeded as
Governor and upon the close of his term was re—elected for
a second term, thus serving eight consecutive years, a ser—
vice of unexampled length in the history of the Commonwealth.
During this long tenure, many irregularities grew up. These
operated to the disadvantage of the democracy and were main-
ly instrumental in bringing about their defeat in 1907.

Governor Willscn's tenure of office has been

seriously embarrassed by the tobacco war. In the efforts

of the tobacco growers to emancipate themselves from the

 

 -2-
domination of the tobacco trust, many deeds of violence
have been committed and some lives have been lost. Tobacco
plant beds were destroyed by armed bands of masked men and
many tobacco barns have been burned. And worse than all,
some valuable lives were list in the ruthless raids made by
desperate men upon the homesteads of those who dared to ex—

press an opinion upon the lawless methods adopted by those

who held themselves aggrieved. To cope with this lawless—

ness was an exceedingly difficult matter. The military
power of the state was brought into requisition. bmt was
able to accomplish little. The raiders disappeared upon
their approach; many arrests were made but convictions by
local juries were impossible. These disorders have been
exploited by Governor Willson's political opponents, and
instead of the credit that ought to accrue from the efforts
which he made to cope with disorder, discredit has been
wantonly attached to him and-to his advisers by those who
sought an opportunity to disparage his administration. These
conditions will materially enbarraee the Republicans in th
the coming campaign. Governor Willson has given us, I
think, a good clean, honest administration , and was shut

up to the necessity of doing what he did, to preserve the
lives and prOFerty of the citizens of Kentucky.

The negro vote is an important factor in the
politics of the state. Their normal relationship is Re—
publican. They are, howeVerflpurchaseable element and in
important elections are bought wholesale. The Dennorats

buy only a sufficient number of votes to carry the election,

 

 

 

 -3-

but if the Republicans begin to purchase their votes, they

have to buy all the way through.

For this state of thing, I see no immediate
remedy. The ignorance of the negro masses is dense and
their moral sense blunt. We have a negro population of
about fifteen percent of the whole. The education of
the negro is a slow process. In point of intellect the
race sustains about the same relation to the Indo—Germanic,
the Semitic and Mongolian as the child of these latter
races does to maturity. There are exceptions, but this
is the rule. The average young negro learns with facility
those subjects in which memory is specially concerned, but
when the period is reached at which reasoning powers begin
to be developed with the white and he goes forward with a
bound, the development of the negro is arrested and it is
found extremely difficult to get him beyond this immature

stage.

 

 

 L Brief Biscuasion of the law of the appointment of Benefi~

ciaries to {he State University.

Lttcrneg-Ceneral Carnett.
Jy dear Sir:

in compliance with your request, I have the honor
to pr sent the fallowing Views concerning the law'relating to
the appOintmnnt 0f Lbeneficiaries in the State Uhiveraity:

In Sub4fiection 28 of fectian 46360 of the General
Statutes, the obvious intention of thc General Assembly was

Firat, to deeentralize as far as possible the figricultural

nnfl gee nnioal Callege of Kentucky, known than as the State Col~
1956 anfl n0? as the -taie Yniveraity, i. e., to make it in reality
inn call>ae of the vhali Commonwealth ynfl not tha college of a
section 0: ‘L‘ms {fwxsonm—mlth.

Seventh. To build up and educate an intelligent and patriotic

and meritorious youth of the Cpmmonwoihth to help themselves.

fill these expectations have been fully r alized during the

interval from 1893 to 1911.

Thesmeans by which these ends were sought to be accom-
plished are set forth in the Statute referred to above, viz.,

"It Was enacted that each Legislative Representative
District in this state shall in consideration of the income accru-
ing to the college under an Act for the benefit of the Agricultural
& Mechanical College of Kontucky, approved April 29, 1880, be en-
titled to select and tossend to said College each year, one proper-
ly prepared student, free from all charges for tuition, matricula-I
tion fe 3, room rent, fuel and lights, and to have all the advantages
and privileges of the college and dormitories free, except board."
Farther on the Act in the same Section provides that "if any Leg-
islative Didtriciecontains more than one county, each county so
included shall be entitled to one beneficiary.“

Herein are all the elements of a bona fide contract. ‘The
Commonwealth, party of the first part, agrees to give to the College
the annual proceeds of the tax of one-half of one cent on every
hundred dollars of taxable property owned by white persons; for a
‘consideration, and the College, party of the second part, agrees to
provide this consideration, viz., to yrovide free tuition for a
certain number of properly prepared students. The method of se-
lection of these students is set forth with the utmost exactness
of detail, and the advantages and immunities attaching to the '
selection are also minutely described. They are to be selected

by the County Superintendent and by no other officer; they are to

 

 

  

I

selected not on his initiative, or arbitrary preforonoo,but on
competitive examination. $ho questions upon which the examina~
is tok e conducted are not left for him to dotonmine, but are to
be prepared and transmitted to him before the firot any of June
of each year by tho Faculty of the College; the time limits for the
examination are also set forth, viz., between the firot any of June
and the first any of August. Moreoevcr, the Superintendent deco
not conduct the examination himself, but is required to anpoint a
Boarfl of Examiners for that purpose. He as further required to
make Tnown by oavortioemont to the public and by a notice posted
in each public school within his jurisdiction the time and place
of examination;‘ From this it is quite manifhst that no appointment
will be valid unless one and all of those conditions are complied
with.

' I‘Von a casual roafier of the statute of may 9th, mesa.
would oonolwic toot the county and not the otpte is the unit of
appoinfmont, but_the Amendoa Law of 1908, found in the General
Statues. Sub-fleation 7, of Toction 4656a, leaves no possiblo
doubt upon this subject. It declares oxplioitly that the cofinty_is
tho unit. in the following language: "3505 county in the state
shall be the unit of appointment, anfl each county shall be unbitled
to appoint annually, etc." This languago was preliminary to the
chanye in the low onion allowofl each~county to make an appointment
for every three thousana white pupilo of school ago. The basis
was changed butthe unit-roominofl the some and was distinctly af-
firmed. ' In View of all thin, the allegation that tho state and
not the. county 13' the unit of appomtmcnt is both childish and

absurd. Boththo earlier an& the later Statutes makes provision

-5-

 

  

for the payment of travelling expenses once going from home to the

College and once returning from the college to his home, to each

legally appointed beneficiary.

The counties distributirely pay the tax, the‘
counties_distributively 'EMm entitled to appoint the beneficiaries
under the centract made by the General Assembly on their behalf.“ No
one cohnty, "5, whether adjacent or remote, ca: invade the
domain of another county and appropriate to itself, either with or
withbnt the consent of the County Superintendent the exclusive
privilege_and prerogative of the county. ' If the county appoints
the beneficiaiies -. towhich it is entitled, in conformity with the
law, well, if not, the loss is that of the county, which has failed
to do itS‘ duty. 'Under the existing law not even the state, norp
any officer of the state can intervene and transfer the power to
‘make appointment from one county to another. Not even the state can
authorize a fiounty’ Superintendent to dispense with the plain pro- l
visions of the law, much less a self-constituted authority of the
State University. By way of illustration, it may be added that
i the Congressional District is the unit for the selection of ap-
pointees to the military Academy at West Point and the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, can the state usurp the authority vested
in the District? Gan Kentucky.invade the domain of Ohio and appro-
priate appointments which belong to that sovereign state. 30, under
the law relating to appointments, each county in the Commonwealth
is sovereign. This sovereign prerogative has heen ruthlessly
invad d and set at naaggt'by the administration of the State
University. Blank appointments have been given t0'students and
othhree with instructions to fill in the names of persons willing

public schools and gave them an uplift which hag materially contrih~
utefl to the educational progreaa of the Commonwealth. 3r. Pritohett.
President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancoment of Teaching,
who has acne more than any man in America to stimulate anfi encourage
collegiate and university work, when told of the ayatom of appoint-
ments in Kantucky, pronounce& it tho best system in America.

Anothet important consideration whoald not be omitted.

By disregarding and violating the contract; the State University

in instructing the Superintendents that thay may disregard the
law, virutally release the Commonwealth from thy obligatiQna to pay
to it the proceeds of the half cent tax. This is an important
consideration and might involve the loss of all the revenueo ac-
cruing from that source amountihg now to about $50;000 per aonum.‘
The fatuous policy of ignoring the obligation of {he law and ad-
vising and incitina County Superinienflents to disregard it, Games
with a had grace from,those who have been conversant with the
practice and administration of the law. The sgata University
above all the activities of the Commonwealth daould inculcata in
its officers ana students, by practice and h; precept, a profound

vneration for the dignity and majesty of the law.

 

 From the foregoing discussion these concluaions aaem obvious:

First. That the language uaéd thraughout the atatutea quoted,
v12.: "County," "County Superintendents," fifiithiu their rampective
countiea culminating at last in the explicit aeolarétion. "that each
county in tha ataté shall be the unit of appaintment an& that each
county shall be entitlea to appoint one annually." leavea no manner at
dcuht that the count: and not the state is the unit.

Saconfl. That no one who has not been appointea in confarmity
with.the distinct requirements of the law 13 a bona fide county ap-
fiointee, and that the eaaential anfi material dondition to validate
an appointment is aompetitive examination. -

Third. That no one other than a bana fifle aypointee under
the law, is entitlad to recaiva travelling exPanaea,'axem§tion from
811 fbea, ledging. fuel and lights. _ '

Fourth. ?hat thé principlé of aelaction adapfiad in_the
fitatute in in conformity with the well dafinédvané generally accagted
law of progresa which pervades all nature, viz.;"auxv1val of thm

'fittest."

Fiffh. what quality rather than quantify? pervafles the Spirit

of tbs law anfl 18 the §deal of the best and highast university
education. ’ ’

Sixth. That a grave responsibility reata upon the administra-
tion 0? tha University. who advised anfi counsellad Cofinty Superintefifl-
ents to evade, ignore and aiaragard the krw.

Seventh. That the State University above 911 cthgr institutions
of the Commonwealth, shanld by precapt nnfi example. anohurage anfi
atimulatw the deVQIOpmont and growth of a profounfl véneratinn for tha
ivw and obedience to its mandates. 5
