about the "grand son of his grand

monstrous absurdity.

MORE INFAMOUS THAN COMMON
STEALING,

STEALING.
The Charlotte Observer closes an
editorial on the decision of the Su-
preme Court with reference to the
Governorship Of Kentucky with the
two following sentences:
"Whether Beckham is the lawful
Governor Of the State is now be-
You'd questic n-he may or may not
have been elected n the ticket with
Governor Goebel. In point of fact
they were defeate d at the polls"
We confess to our inability to
reconcile the contradictory state
ments in the above two sentences
from the Observers editorial. The
Observer says that Beckham is now
the lawful Governor of Kentucky
beyond question, and yet, in the
next sentence it says: ain point of
TACT they (Goebel and Beckam)
were defeated at the polls" What
does the Observer mean by this?
How can man who was def.a
at the polls be lawfully elected ?
Is not the title Of Beckham to the
Governorship just as much stained
with fraud and corruption to-day
as is the title of chicken thief to
the rooster he has just robbed from
his neighbours roost. It may be
said that in that case the chicken
thief, while he not only stole the
chicken, but at the same time vio-
lated the law, while in the case of
the Governor of Kentucky, while he
stole the office, yet he was author
lied by law to steal it, but does this
lessen the crime? Indeed, Is not the
crime greater? As lorg as laws are
just, but few men will violate them.
and these few will be summary
punished. Therefore, but little
harm is done by the thief or other
violator of the law, but when a
great party gets in power and in
stead OF passing laws to punish
theft and crime, pass laws to en-
courage, shield and protect thieves
and criminals, then that party is
worse than a common thief. That
party throws down the bar that
protects society, encourages the
criminal class to commit crimes
and then guarantees them protec
ton In their crimes. The triumph
OF such q party is more dangerous
to the welfare Of State than the

blowing at the time, the fire was soon
beyond control.

the homeless. Many people were ac-
