WON'T MEET HIS COMPETITORS

Governor Beckham has very pru.
IDENTIFY declined the invitation OF his
competitors, Col. Hendrick and
Judge Breckenridge, to engage in a
series of joint debates. He gives
as his reason that such debates
might result to the injury of the
party in the general election, but
erybody who knows him and has
heard him attempt to speak knows
that is not his real excuse for de-
clining. Joint debates in political
campaigns, and campaigns for
party nomin ations has been custo-
mary in Kentucky and other states,
and no man can recall an instance,
in Kentucky at least, where JOINT
debates by rival candidates for
nomination ever hurt the party in
general election.
What the Democrat party in Ken
tucky now most needs is something
to inject some life into the canvass
for the nominations for state Offices.
The primary election has been
called for the 9th of May, the very
busiest of seasons for the farmers,
and present indications are that
except In counties and districts
where local candidates are debat-
ing and contesting for nominations
there will be very light vote. A
light vote in the primary will be far
more injurious to the Democratic
party in the general election than
a friendly series of joint debates
could be.
1t is too bad that Beckham is
afraid to meet Hendrick or Breck-
inridge and discuss with them his
and his record. or lack of
record, in the governor 5 Office

When mothers are worried

1t is like the penny in the

SCOTS Emulsion is simply

"You take it all so philosophical

Newspaper Mans Mistake.

A good 'joke" on q prominent
local newspaper man has just leaked
hut. says the Memphis Scimitar. He
is up at one or the hotels, and on
2ristmas day when he sauntered
down for dinner his usually large
heart was of increased size with good
feeling for his fellows and he felt that
a small remembrance to his waiter
would be the proper thing. To the
recipient however, he was all heart.
When he seated himself at the
festive board and the waiter stepped
up for his order the colonel Che is
q surenough coloneD slipped his
fingers into his vest pocket and
handed the negro greenback. In
the colonels opinion 1t was dollar
bill.
Instantly the waiter was all atteu
tion and he nearly had spasm. He
acted as if he had heart failure. The
colonel couldn't account for 1t. The
ssman in white" fell all over himself
in showing the newspaper man at
tention during the meal, and as h.
passed out of the dining-room all
the dukes had the eyes on him
and one of them pointed at him and
said: Oats him."
Later In the day the mastery Wa
explained. There had been only
two bills in the giver's vest pocket
$40 and Stand he had given tht
waiter the $40.
Now he's the biggest man in the
hotel and the walters point him ou'
as the erich boarder."

THE NEW YEAR.

TODAY the old year will make
it's exit, and during the Silly
shades of night the New Year
will enter upon the good people
of the earth, and tomorrow 1904
will be with US. AS people and
as nation it is not difficult to
turn our attention towards the
past, and to find what we have
done, but as individuals the re-
cord is not SO plain, and it be-
hooves each and every one to in
quire into their record of the
year, and ask themselves if the
record be poor: What are we
going to do about it?" New
Years resolutions are easily
made and as easily broken but
a determination entered upon to
accomplish that which is for the
best in the year to come, and
a rigid adherence to that deter
mination ought to count. AS a
people we are fast making his
tory. 1t is doubtful whether
any nation ever progressed more
rapidly than has the American
nation in the last four years. AS
citizens we ought to keep pace
with this rapid progress. And
incidentally at this time do not
neglect to pass the greeting with
which THE TIMES greets it's
readers: Happy New Year!
