The fire fighters as a whole, deserve
the greatest praise that can be heaped
upon them for the heroic work they
did at this fire, which had it succeeded
in getting beyond control, would have
swept at least the half of Welsh to q
level with the ground.
We believe that there should be pur-
chased rope, axes, water buckets and
several good extension ladders to be
distributed in three or four different
parts of town, or that some central
station be seleced where they would
always be available in case Of fire.
This would enable our boys, who are
always ready day or night, to save
much time spent now in running
around and hunting up these things,
to get at once to the place where the
fire exists, and would place everybody
in q position to do their best to con-
troll and put out all fires when before,
through the lack of proper material
with which to fight same, they have
gotten entirely beyond control.

people are inclined to view, with
alarm, the deplorable condition
of the laboring people of that en-
pire, yet these same Samaritans
of America forget that the labor
ing class Of this country is stead
lily approaching the same envi-
'ronments that shut off the meat
and bread from the laborers of
Russia and other eastern king
doms. 1t is not so much the
form of Government as the con-
centration of capital that bids de-
fiance to the earnings of toilers.
Eastern Governments have pom
dered to capitalists and filled
their lands with millionaire and
paupers. America, proud and in
dependent, unfortunately, is do
ing the same thing. The Govern
ment must place such restrictions
against combines, protect the
producing class directly, or year

that have enslaved the laboring
people of other lands.

WE'D. FEB. %. 1905.

The Louisville Evening Post is
still threshing old straw and fight
ing the wind, so to speak, and in
our judgment is not lifting that
publication an atom higher in the
estimation of the people, nor is it
doing any good for the city Of
Louisville or the courts of our
State. We are not sufficiently
acquainted with the facts in the
case, as set out by the evidence,
to say whether or not the verdict
against the Post was warranted,
but it is not conducive to good re-
suits for a defendant in a legal
controversy, after defeat, to seek
to reduce the standing Of our
courts and juries. In a recent
issue Of that paper it's editor
says: Certainly it appears that
with us trial by jury is a failure. :"
Something must be done to give
greater force to the verdict of
juries. The position of The
Post touching the jur es of JEFF
ferson county indicates that the
juries are created, selected, to
accomplish a purpose known be-
fore trial, regardless of evidence;
that justice is not the object of
the courts and that the whole
proceeding is but a travesty. Mr..
Knott may have some grounds
for complaint as to- the verdict
rendered. He may have been a
victim of legal misfortune "a
case justifying a different verdict
on merits, but unwarranted by
clearly proven facts. It may be
that the jury was not warranted
in giving a decision against the
defendant, this is unknown to US,
but to change fronts, to turn his
batteries from a saloon against
the jury is of itself as distaste-
full as it is unwise, If The Post
means to fight the gambling dens
of it's city; if it is against corrupt
methods, debauchery and prosti-
tuition, then, it seems, that its
powers should be directed to these
specific evils and not to seek to
bring the jury system into disfa-
vor. Again, if The Post is actu-
ated by a spirit of righteousness,
if it truly desires better condi-
ons it should not eternally init
mate that political bias has warp
ed our whole system of govern
ment in this State. There are,
doubtless, some instances in
a jury may be diverted
from the facts by political feel
ing. There may be rank and
rash verdicts, but this has been
true in all ages, in every State.
In the main, we believe that jul
ries and judges discharge their
duties honestly and fearlessly and
if there is a State in the Union
whose people extend mercy, as
well as justice, it is our own be-
loved Kentucky. If The Post
will shake off it's bitter partisan
feelings, if it will publish more
good and less bad; if it will pull
itself out of the eternal grumb-
ling and criticising channel into
which it has fallen and bask in
the sunlight of peace and prog
ress, then it will have less room
for complaints, a higher and no
bier sphere in which to labor.
We consider it harmful to Louis
vile rather than beneficial, and if
it has ever advertised a virtue
common to true Kentuckians we
are not aware Of it.

What Becomes Ofthe Bibles.

The announcement Of DR.. James

Bible Society, that his organization
alone distributed 100000 Bibles last
year, while 100000 were sold by the
trade, again calls attention to the i'm
mense circulation of the book Where
all the Bible issued go to is a wonder
even among the agencies that are con-
cerned in the work. Distributions are
supposed to cover, as far as possible,
places and persons not yet reached,
but it would appear that there are no
longer any such places and persons
left. Even supposing there were Bibles
in the knapsacks of some Or even all
of the slaughtered thousands on the
field or buried with their clothes on at
Port Arthur and Mukden, that would
be but a drop in the ocean of produc-

they probably stored away more than

Little Love TaDs

He has beautiful daughter of aristo-

The wife of Congressman from a
