The spirit Of patriotism-s true in

carbohydrates our city and the
noble hearts Of our good people beat
in fraternal unison as they contem-

Spring is clothed in her glory--na-

THE numerous reports Of destruc-

agitation of the subject that the next

THE recent decision Of the United
States Supreme Court that Beckham,
the Democratic contestant, is the
lawful Governor of Kentucky argues
we'll for State rights. The decision is
based upon the broad ground that the
States have the right to enact laws
to govern contests in State elections.
Under the Kentucky law the L'gis-
lature is the fn,l arbiter, and the
United States Supreme Court had no
authority to interfere.
The G)ebel. election law may be nm
fair and upjust-but there is no au-
thority vested in the Federal govern
ment to nullify it. The U. S. Su-
preme Court was disposed to msiu-
tain the line of demsrcstion estab-
lished by the Constitution, and not
to encroseh upon State rights.
