Early Nominations Probable.

Among the aspirants for pomina
ton tor the various county officers,
and Republicans in general, there
seems to be a universal desire to have
the party name its standard bearers
at an early date. In many OF the
neighboring counties conventions and
primary elections have already been
called. The members of the Republi-
can Executive Committee have been
called to meet here next Saturday,
and at this meeting they will, no
doubt, take some action With reference
to the time and manner of nominal
ing candidates for the various county
officers to be elected next year.
Whatever the committee sees fit to do
will meet the appreciation OF the party
as its personnel represents the best
there Is in the organization.

Greensboro, KY, Aug. 3I.-Foi
the second time in the history Of Da

ty-tour years, a Daviess county jury
returned death penalty verdict In q
murder case.
"We, the jury, find the defendant
Robert S. Mathley, guilty, and fix his

The verdict was announced at o:o7

taken on the verdict, ser timent of the
Jurors being unanimous on the first
ballot for the death penalty.
Mathley was tried for the murder o.
young Emma Watkins. In Owens

trial was commenced on Saturday
and the testimony and argument;

Recognizing that they have no Is
sue that will appeal to the people in

President Roosevelt, the Republican
candidate. They declare that he is
unsafe. Unlike their candidate he
has convictions and is not afraid to
express them and act upon them.
Everybody knows Just where he
stands and what he thinks about all
important questions that may come to
him for action.
But few candidates for the Presi-
dency have been more thoroughly
tried and are more fully known by
the American people than Theodore
Roosevelt. In 1881 at the age of %
he was elected a member of the New
York Legislature and was reelected
in 1882 and 1888. He was dele
gate to the National convention in
1884; was appointed member of the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion in 1889, and in 1895 was made
President of the New York Police
Board. In 1897 he was appointed
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and
the following year resigned to become
Lieutenant Colonel of the First Vol
unteer Cavalry, in the Spanish
American war and was soon pro-
NOTED to the rank of Colonel of the
same regiment. In the autumn Of
the same year, after being mustered
out, he was elected Governor of New
York; and in November of 1900 he
was elected Vice President of the
United States and succeeded to the
Presidency September II, 1901.
Thus for % years he has been con-
stantly before the people in positions
Of trust and responsibility and not a
single spot or blemish on his character
or integrity has ever been charged.
He has been in the light of public
observation for almost a quarter Of a
century and has stood the test. He
is one of the best types of courageous,
vigorous American manhood, proud
of his country and devoted to the best
interests of the whole nation.

We believe that double tracks on all
the railroads in this country would di-
minish the risk of accidents at least one
third Trains could not meet IN head
end collisions when running on opposite
tracks. A block system in addition also
would prevent any train from overtaking
another and causing rear end accident.
Track walkers would discover the faults
in the rails, more section men would
keep the roadbed in repair. Why are
none of these things done? Simply be-
cause the railroad companies say they
would cost too much. And the travel
ling public furnishes lives free, which by
a simple matter of reasoning thus be-
come a part of the dividends of the
railroad companies. 4.

er than corresponding prices in the U.
S. for a long number of years. though
this year the difference is more marked
than exer. The probable reason is, that
the states that raise hard wheat are short
and the millers of the northwest are try
ing hard to get enough on hand to last
them through the milling season. For a
large part Of the season so far, wheat
prices have been as larger or larger in
Minneapolis than in Chicago, which is
another proof that there are times when
Europe don't fix the price of wheat. But
we are willing to bet doughnut that if
there was no duty on wheat. there would
be no difference in the price of wheat in
Canadian and American markets, and
we will leave our readers to guess for
themselves Whether it would be higher
prices for the Canadians or lower prices
for Americans.

could not we'll afford to do without the

has been in the state senate ever since
statehood. He has stood for conserva-

possible. fair treatment Of the people
who disagreed with him; has always
been desirous Of giving concessions,
where to DO SO would not sacrifice a
principle or wrong the public. His
voice has alysys been raised for good
government, Notwithstanding the bark

sometimes been with him as earnestly as
at other times they have scored for some
Encied wrong, Those who know Mr.,
