that the people of Kentucky know
that they are addressed to him.
1t would be wise for each one Of
this gang to take home to himself
the true significance of this warn
ing, as well as the recognition of
the identity of those to whom it
is directed.
They are standing on very thin
ice, which, with any further step
ia the path OF murder that has
brought them to their present po-
sition, will inevitably break through
to their own long deserved undo
ing,
They will be fortunate if they
escape punishment for their MUIR
ders in the past. If they add to
those murders there is not money
enough and power enough, and
powder, steel and depravity enough
in Breathitt county to save their
necks from the gallows. Two Of
their tools have been tried and
convicted, but this does not satisfy
the people of Kentucky. They
know that behind Jett and White
are men guiltier than they. They
know. or they think they know,
who those men are. They have
not abandoned the hope that it
will yet be possible to prove who
they are. Let those men make
but another move to continue their
murders and it is an absolute GER
tainty that in the light that now
beats upon them they will not be
able to escape responsibility for
their crime.
There is an excellent chance yet
to hang them, even if they never
lift another lawless hand. Let
them take a single life in intimlda-
tion of those who know their past
misdeeds or in revenge upon those
who have dared to tell what they
know, and their doom, will be as

To Whom it May Concern.

People who know too much are

fear of assassination, and Capt
Even, who happened to see the
murder of j. B. Marcum and who
had the courage to tell on the wit
ness stand what he saw, is not
only unable to live in Breathitt
county. but finds it expedient to
move about hurriedly from one
point in the State to another for
self-protectlon.
In view of these conditions, it
would be we'll for certain men who
have so long ruled Breathitt for
evil to take to heart few words
of warning which the Courier
Journal volunteers 10 give them.
These men should not make the
mistake of assuming that the ill.,
terest of the people of Kentucky
in the affairs of Breathitt county
has subsidized, or that their deter
mination that the reign of anarchy
there shall cease has relaxed.
They should not take it for grant
ed that with the disposition of the
cases against Jet and White, with
the scattering of the witnesses and
the militia and with the lapse of a
few weeks or months the program
of bloody revenge and eXtermina-
tion can be resumed in Breathitt
county with impunity to those
who have so long heretofore fol-
lowed that programme without
dindrance. They were able to
keep up such a programme prior
to the murder of Marcum; they
cannot do it now with any assur.
ance of safety to themselves.
They ought to know this, and we
believe they do know it. They
are far from fools, and only fools
could so greatly mistake the tenn
per of Kentucky now as to think
that they could safely defy public
sentiment, already so strong
against them, by resorting again
TO the policy of assassination by
which they once maintained their
supremacy in Breathitt and by
which they have so aroused against
themselves the entire State.
The Courier Journal does not
deem 1t necessary this morning to
call these men by name. II has
called them by name so often that
there is not a reader Gifts columns
who does not know who 'rr are.

REPUBLICANS
VIOLATE LAWS.
TO GET CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Federal Employees are Assess
ed in Large Cities
EFFORTS TO ELECT BELKNAP.
Negroes are Being Imported to Louisville.
Lexington, CoYington and Paducah.
COME FROM OTHER STATES.

In their desperate efforts to give
Belknap big vote in Louisville,
Lexington, Covington and other of
the larger cities in the State, Fed
eral employees are being assessed
by the Republican Machine in VIC
lation of the laws of the United
States.
A circular letter requesting in
polite terms a contribution to the
campaign fund, but none the less
concise and to the point, has been
sent out by the Republican Cam
paign Committe.
These letters were mailed to Re-
publicans in general who it was
thought might contribute to the
fund, but to the internal revenue
employees in particular, from
whom the committee has all along
calculated upon raising $40, 600 or
more in Louisville alone.
1t is a direct and grave viola
tion of the Gil service laws for
any Government official to be used
for political purposes. 1t is like
wise an infraction of civil service
law for any one to solicit funds
from a Government official to be
used for political purposes while
that Government official is about
the discharge of his duties in his
own office or any other Office owned
or occupied by the Government.
In the Internal Revenue Depart
ment of the Fifth District are en-
ployed about $50 storekeepe r-gau-
gers and storekeepers and gaugers.
They receive salaries ranging from
$115 to $40 month, though the
average Is from $50 to 500 a month.
From time immemorial, so long as
the Republican party has controll-
ed the national Administration
this corps of storekeepers and
gaugers has been looked upon as q
valuable asset when it came to
raising money for campaign pur-
poses.
For this campaign the word has
been passed along from the Cam
paign Committee that a donation
of $50 from the storekeepers and
gaugers who have regular assign
ments and steady work will be
appreciated" and from those
who have not regular work, but
only serve during the busy seasons
donations ranging from $25 to $40
would be "gladly received"
Hundreds of strange negroes
have also appeared in Louisville,
Lexington, Covington, Paducah
and elsewhere. They have been
imported from Tennessee, Ohio
and Indiana to the smaller towns
in Kentucky. The Republicans
will make an effort to register them
as legal voters. BY this method
they hope to pad the registration
and thus pad the vote on election
day for the Republican State
Ticket.

TALK BY PRESIDENT JENKINS.
He Says the Bible Contains Mas
terpieces Of Literary Style
and Pride and Beauty
of Youth.

President Bnrris A. Jenkins de-
livered an address to about three
hundred men Sunday afternoon.
September 81, in the Broadway
Christian Church, Lexington, KY.
President Jenkins simply and
with straightferwardness talked on
"The Young Man and His book"
WVys the literary, the scientific,
e Religious and the business man
to read the Bible. The choice
maxim. 81 f the public schcols today
is "make children love to study"
We should stimulate love and taste
for the Bible. There is nothing
like the study of it. 1t pays, if for
nothing else than its superb literary
style"
The speaker then quoted from
Emerson, Shakespeare, Milton and
others, at the same time making
comparisons with certain verses of
the Scripture. He plainly showed
the Bible to have had authors of
greater ability than have ever lived
since the days of Christ. Scien-
tiye men have come to the Bible to
Al Use their theories. With their
.emical apparatus, they have tried
Il destroy the facts relating to
] ,ience in the Bible. Let them
search as long as they may. We
want them to search and do it dill
gently. 1t will strengthen our
cause. Has science ever told bet
ter story about the creation of the
earth than the first chapter of Gen
esis? No volume ever published
has gone under such rigid investi-
CATION.
'sThe poets and artists of litera-
ture have never surpassed the

criticise the Bible is that they have
never read it, The words of Jesus
Christ are beautifully polished.

An Ideal Halloween Party.

- =
A curious festival is this of
halloween on the vigil of all saints
day. OF course, every one knows that
witches and elves and all the strange
people of that land of superstition
dear to the young ana the ignorant
are wandering about this prosaic old
earth, glad to shake off the sleep OF
the twelvemonth and show their
pointed caps and hoary boards.
To an ideal halloween party a very
necessary setting is an old-fashioned
barn with lofts and stalls, and per
chance at the back an orchard of
gnarled appletrees casting weird
shadows in the moonlight; but if this
is impossible the Kitchens the place.
Candles, apples and nuts are un-
doubtedly the most favorable media
through which the witches may
acquatnt us with our future fates.
This is one of a young girls favorits
methods of learning the name of het'
future husband. She selects as many
candles of equal length as there are
men in her acquaintance whom she
considers among the probabilities,
and after naming each one she lights
them, and allows them to burn five
minutes. The candle which is the
shortest at the end of the stipulated
time indicates the chosen lover.

instantly use that as reason for dis
claiming any obligation now? AS

You shall have an order for his re-

almost gayly and his face was only
little less radiant than Roses glow of
delight.

giving me such joy for my friends?"
How? Oh, easily-you see have
the thread of destiny in my hands,

Nanny was very discreetly study
ing one special mule through the open
window, but Roses answer was given
more fully by her smiles and bushes
than by words.
That night Nanny, in the midst of
the little attentions which she le-
lighted in rendering to Rose, asked
slyly:-

metamorphosis in winter as well as in
summer. With tropical heat in their
houses in winter Americans have TAX
en- to themselves some of the tropical
insects that lead a perennial existence
in tropic lands, with no birds or natu-
raj enemies to fight them. The battle
with the buffalo moth under such cir
cumstances is well nigh a hopeless one.
When this creature first came a we'll
known entomologist of the state rec
commended that it's habitats be satu-
rated with benzine after carpets, rugs
and clothing. which 1t had attacked,
had been we'll beaten. Its ways are
ways Of darkness, and the creature
avoids the light, therefore dark cor
ners of closets and wardrobes should
be carefully searched and cleaned as
early in March as it Is practical to do
so. Good housekeepers drive away the
buffalo moths by making the premises
unpleasant for them. Camphor, pep
per, tobacco and various other articles
will accomplish this purpose, but moth
ing but benZine poured on them will
actually annihilate them. This insect
has a curious passion for the red parts
of the rug, and will eat out the color
and leave the rest, especially if it is on
the edge or the border.
