FACTS and
OBSERVATIONS
OF A POLITICAL
NATURE.

0nr inexperienced ID political al
fairs may subject us to the crIti-
cism of-the initiated, or expose us
to their ridicule or contempt. We
have heard it said that EVERY THING
is FAIR in politics. This may be
true if politics Is HE'LL" if politics
is synonymous with force, arbitrary
rule, dishonor, theft, deceit, mis-
representation and fraud.
We may be regarded as an Gin
nocent abroad" for claiming that
the political affairs of a county,
state or nation should be founded
on principles of peace, equity, JUS
tice, purity, righteousness-with
some consideration for the rights
Of men and the sovereignty OF
God. That differences of opinion
misunderstanding, and strife have
resulted in the settlement of politi
cal questions and in the working o
the machinery are facts of history
ancient and modern-wKich We
can not deny, however much WI
may regret them. Let our concep

We clip the following from an
editorial in the Morning Herald,
Lexington, January 7th;

editorial calling attention to the

distant when the efficient, faithful,
industrious woman who earns her
daily bread by her daily labor Will
receive the simple justice OF hav-
ing her wage reckoned by her SER

but short while ago we believed
that women should not work in
competition with men-belieyed In

foundation stones upon which is to
be built a national structure, which
is beauteous, glorious, Ienduring, a
cherished refuge for the oppressed
and downtrodden of those lands
where "might is right" and God
is not revered.
We do not claim that our State,
our beloved Kentucky, is a sinner,
more than all but we do say that
during the past few years the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties
have been guilty of deeds which
have been to our dishonog ard ha-
initiation and debasement.
Are we justified in cherishing the
hope that from our darkness will
come light, from our weakness Will
come strength, from our shame will
come honorF Yes, if each com
munity will look we'll to its own af'
fairs, if each man will be honest
towards his fellow men and mind
full of God.

pressed these are some of our con
ceptions of citizenship.

The president does not ignore the
possibility Of the construction Of a
