An editor works 1851 days per
year TO get out ffty-two issues OF a
paper-thats labor. Once IN a
while somebody pays a years sub

once in while some dead beat

Hon. c. M. Clay, Jr.

Public sentiment in the Gnber-
Material contest all over the State
is now changing rapidly in favor
OF the farmer Statesman, Hon. c.
NJ. Clay, of Paris, There has never
been, nor is il likely that there ever
will be, any candidates in the race
save Clay and Hardin and now the
feeling is becoming general
throughout the State that Hardin's
nomination would mean defeat for
the party. Mr.. Hardin is a good
man, as far as that goes, but
the statement, whether true or not,
that he is heavily backed by y GER
tain corporation of railroad con-
tractors is doing its full share to-
ward turning the tide in Mr.. Clay's
favor. The Democracy of Ken
lucky wants just such honesty and
integrity as is found in the person

Hall, standing just on this side of the
line, fired and killed a man just over

victed in this State. On appeal this
was reversed on the ground that sin

Tennessee when the killing was done.
He was then arrested and held as a

on appeal, the Supreme Court, by a

ONE of the duties of the Governor
during the session of the legislature
will be to nominate a board of Asy-
lnm directors. There has been no
expressed desire for any change of
the old board; in truth, the reappoint-
ment of its members would give gen
eral satisfaction, but if change is
contemplated and one is to be made,
the Governor would act wisely were
he to give one member at least to
Blackfoot.
Economy would suggest and recon-
mend this. We believe the medical
superintendent would favor it and the
welfare and good of the institution
demand it. Occasions may arise when
il would become necessary for the
superintendent to consult the board
or some member Of it; when it would
be necessary for a member to visit
the institution on important business
at a time between regular quarterly
meetings, and if there were resident
member in Blackfoot the consultation
could be had without delay, or the
visit could be made without the ex
pense of mileage for a distant mem
Der. We note that the appointment
of Regents for the State University
was made largely of citizens of Mos
COW and neigbboring counties t.
Latah on the plea of economy, and i
economy demands consideration TO
one state institution why should i
not have equal consideration in thu
case of another state institution.
