IT'S UP TO DAUM.

We are told that last week at the
so called Elks Fair there was the
most open and fragrant violation OF
the law against gambling ever seen
even on those grounds. All sorts
Of skin games, from craps to rou
lette were running wide open. 1t
is the duty of the Commonwealth
Attorney to see that such open
and fragrant violations of the law
are punished. Will Ed. Daum do
his duty and indict the promoters
OF tine affair, vino sold privileges Of
running these unlawful games, or
will he not2 It's up to him

If street fairs and circuses can
not be so controlled that vicious,

can not be suppressed or held in

be no street fair or circus. Let

STREET FAIR.

With all things ready the Mt.
Sterling Street Fair, under the
auspices Of the orders of A. o. U.
WIS and Red Men, will open to
the public Monday. Governor
Beckham will be here to touch the
electric button, so TO speak, and
to set things agoing. We are as
sured every feature will be worth
seeing. The premiums though
not numerous are liberal, and indi-
cations point to sharp competi-
ton, The catalogues are being
sent out and those who fail to get
one in this way may call on Mr.,
Charles Sledd or Thos. Rodman
and obtain one, Special police
force will be engaged which will
be a guarantee Of perfect order.
Gambling, drinking, anything i'm
moral is positively prohibited and
the object will be that it may be
said of truth: a model street fair,
free from evil tendencies, was con-

The people, who under our form
OF government rule, are noting the
conduct Of citizens Of Mt. Sterling
on Sunday. II laws are not en-
forced by means now at hand, they
will rise up and take hand. Woe
unto him who on that day is found
allied with and inviting lawlessness.
Stop now, close doors on Satur-
day evening and let them remain
so until Monday morning. If our
people will work six days they
will find need of rest on the 9TH.

" Main Sire" F. A. TUCKER Mt Sterling. Ky
Opera House, II, Is and 10.

For the first time the Murray
Comedy Company will present Tols-
tots great play, "Ressurrection. :"
The immortality Of the principal
character (Maslova) is handled in
a manner that can offend none, vet
the scenes lose none of their
strength or great moral lessons
thereby. This company presented
the above play to crowded house
in Lexington, and by special re-
quest repeated the bill to large
and enthusiastic audience. This
is without doubt the largest and
strongest company on the road
playing at popular prices, and they
have expended over $1,000 for this
special production.

FROM HIS OWN LIPS.

If Belknap is as slow in other
matters as he is on making mp his
mind as to the guilt or innocence
of the parties convicted for the
murder Of Governor Goebel. and
he was Governor, his term would
expire before he could talk intelli-
gently. This is what his speech,
replying to Governor Beckham s
question when asked if ne would
pardon the parties convicted for
the murder Of Governor Goeble,
implies.

WARNING.

The Sunday law is plain. There
are men accused Of violating this
law by opening up their houses
and inviting trade. Such business
men are amenable to law, and the
more cultured the greater the rea.
son for conviction, for the better
classes are examples to others.
Officers are abundant to suppress
this lawlessness, and the laws and
courts are adequate.
If by warning, these people will
not regard the Sabbath, then a
more heroic action must be taken.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1903-09-16
REPUBLICANS IN TROUBLE.

They charged Beckham with ex-
travagant use of the pardoning
power. The records show for rape
alone, Bradley, Republican, three
and four ifths times as many as
Beckham and for murder four and
one half times as many. They can't
get around the record and in their
distress they cry "doctored."

A GREAT DAY.

Monday will be great day in
Mt. Sterling. Many thousands
will be attracted here by Governor
Beckham and other men Of dis
tinction who will open the political
campaign in this county. The
people will have an opportunity to
know from the lips Of our Chief
Executive the real condition Of the
state of affairs financially, morally
and otherwise. They will have
comparisons held up before them
showing advancement and i'm
provement in every department.
II will be seen that our State is
comparatively free from debt, that
barring troublesome Jackson, peace
and quiet prevails in every county
and almost every neighborhood.
That the Jackson matter is being
speedily settled and efforts will be
continued until the guilty are all
brought to answer to the law,
that schools are in fine condition,
parents are more interested on
lines of education and by this rea-
son larger numbers Of children are
in the schools; that the undevelop-
ed sections Of our State are being
taken up by capitalists, and
the mountain sides are active with |
labor taking out timber, opening |
up our rich mines and bringing in
many profitable oil wells. This
prosperous era is within a Demo
cratic period. That the deplorable
condition Of affairs inaugurated by
Republicans are being corrected
and the murderers Of Governor
Goebel are slowly but surely being
brought to grief, and the day is
not far away when Kentucky will
become model to other State in
peace, education, religion and
wealth. Governor Beckham will
show how the Democratic party is
Iaboring for these results, how it
can be attained by Democratic
policy; and on the other hand Re
publican methods have been hurt
full and have given to our beloved
State reputation for lawlessness
that it will require years to outlive.
Every man, woman and child
should avail themselves Of this
opportunity to hear Governor
Beckhcm.

POLITICAL LINES. "

Public speakers should be con-
sistent. The Temperance candi-
date for Governor addresses the
people on political lines, and on
Sunday he will speak at Jefferson
vile in the morning and Camargo
in the evening. Parson Hopkins,
would preach. Far more consist
ent is Parson Hopkins.

by necessities Of reaching agreements

OF the works contemplated FOR con-
struction are Of national Importance,
involving interstate questions or the
securing OF stable, self-supporting
communities In the midst Of vast
tracts Of vacant land. The nation as

as they do TO the wealth and stability

aminations continually emphacize this
need and urge that the remaining pub.
lie lands at the headwarters OF the i'm

supply for irrigation. Much progress
in forestry has been made during the
past year. The necessity for perpetu-
ating forest resources, whether In
public or private hands, Is recognized
now as never before. The demand for
forest reserves has become nsistent
In the west, because the west must
use the water, wood. and summer
range which only such reserves can
supply. Progressive lumbermen are
striving through forestry. to give their
business permanence. Other great
business interests are awakening to
the need OF forest preservation as a
business matter. The governments
