to drill, to march, TO make camp, and

to congress. which, In March. 1903,

GOOD ROADS.

An article in the southern Farm Mag.
azine urging better roads. gives the fol-
lowing information and advice;
"The tax in getting produce to market
in the south is something enormous.
Not less than 25 cents per ton per mile
is paid out every rear to get the cotton
tobacco. peanuts, rice. wheat and other
products TO market For transporting
the 7,5il 1854 pounds of cotton in
1903 to the railroad station or to market
over the common highways, assuming
the average distance to be six miles,
cost the planters, at 25 cents per ton
"a mile, S3,s230s7 II the cost of car
Iiage could be reduced to eight cents per
ton-mile. which may be done over good
roads, the saving in getting the cotton
crop to market would b. $3.50 500"
The people of McCracken county have
recognized the necessity for aud the
benefits of good roads.

WHY EOr7

1t would be well if Judge Parker
would take up some Of the issues OF the
day and make plain his views upon
the money question, the tariff ques-
ton, the Philippines and upon many of
the lesser issues in which the voters of
the country are interested. It would be
well if the literature Of the Democrat
lie national committee gave some at
tention to these greet questions Of the
day instead OF cheap TRADE and mean
ingIess announcement We shah await
eagerly the letter OF acceptance OF the
Democratic candidate for president to
see if he will not before the campaign
is over have a fuller realization OF ghat
basis the American voter intends To
make his decision when voting for the
chief magistrate Of his country The
Republican committee and the Repub-
lican speakers and editors of the ooun-
try have no attack whatever TO make
upons he emdidates of the Democratic
party; they prefer to discuss the issues
of the day; TO point to the record OF
Republican legislation; TO call atten-
ton 10 the promises and pledges full
filed. and above all TO emphasize the
great prosperity Of the people during
the last seven years under Republican
administration and protective tariff.
These are the questions that should
be discussed and upon the result OF
this discussion and upon the merits OF
the arguments used. the people should
decide whether we shall elect in No
vember Judge Parker or Theodore

THE REGISTRATION LAW.

The registration certificate plan for
stealing and controlling the vote of cities
of the first four classes of this state was
deliberate party measure, with no pre-
tense of honesty about it, says the Lou
isville Herald. No penalty was provided
for the purchase or sale of the re9stra-
ton certificates. 1t was law enacted
TO impede and steal elections.
Judge Mackoy, of Covington, declared
IL Unconstitutional yesterday on the
ground that certificate of registration
was not itself registration, and that its
issuance imposed qualification for suf-
frage not laid down in the constitution
judge Mackoy is democrat, but he
stands very high as an able lawyer and
citizen He was the first president OF
