GOOD TIME COMING.

Political reforms and revolutions
move slowly, but with right, hui
mainly and justice as their basal
structure their force can not be
checked until they have literally
permeated the heart of all men OF
reason and force. Men may yell
or snap or growl, but the people
move on to victory. In these
revolutions are principles which
make the compact organization
and which their adherents stand
for, 1t comes slowly but the
good times long looked tor will
be announced one of these days.
Trusts will be no more. Bossism
will be Of the past, and every
mans opportunity can be taken
advantage of and men may acquire
according to their merit.

WHOSE MEMORY SHOULD
KENTUCKY HONOR

In an editorial published a
month or six weeks ago on the
unwilling OF the statue Of Frances
Z. Willard. in the Hall Of Statu-
airy at Washington, we called at
tention to the fact that Kentucky
had not avaiIed herself of the right
to place in that hall the statues of
ewc OF her citizens.
After the House of Representa-
tives had moved from the old
room in which it had held its ses-
sions to the new hall in which it
now holds its sessions, the old hall
was set apart as Hall Of Statuary.
Each State of the Union was
given the right to place therein the
statues of two of its citizens who
had achieved greatness. Since
that was done, now nearly half a
century ago, nineteen States have
placed statues Of their sons in that
hall, fourteen States the two al
lowed. We published in the edi-
torial on the unwilling of the
statue of Miss Willard a list Of
those States which have placed
statues Of their sons there, and the
names Of those sons, and will re-
publish that list in Sundays issue.
Last week the Henderson Coun-
ty Medical Society determined to
present to the Legislature the
claim of DR., Ephraim Mcdowell
to have his statue placed in the
Capitol and requested the State
Medical Society and Medical Jour
nal to use their influence to have
him so honored. We are glad to
see the action taken by the Hen
derson County Medical Society.
We hope other organizations will
present the names Of those whom
each organization believes the
most worthy OF having their stat
ues placed in the Hall of Statuary,
so there will be discussion Of and
a revival Of interest in the lives of
Kentucky's great sons.
Some four years ago The Herald
inaugurated a contest, offering
prizes 10 students IN the Kentucky
colleges who named the twelve
greatest Of Kentucky's dead sons.
That contest was decided by jury
OF two hundred Of the leading citi-
zens Of Kentucky, and aroused
wide interest, not only in Ken
lucky, but in the other States to
which Kentuckians have gone and
in which they or their descendants
now reside. We do not know
what, if any, action the Legisla-
ture to be elected this year will
take about placing statues Of two
Kentuckians in the Hall of Statu-
airy. But a widespread discussion
Of the merits of those who for any
reason may have claims to be so
honored, will aid in having the two
greatest Of all dead Kentuckians
selected. The Herald will, to aid
in arousing this interest, give four
prizes-one Of $40 in gold or in
books, one Of 81. so in gold or in
books, one Of S. and one Of 81. 50
