NO COMPLICATIONS NESESo<AAeA
There should be no difficulty in de-
Gliding which of the newly elected al
dermen take their seats this week
that is If the administration uses
little common sense and reason.
Messrs. S. A. Hill and Henry katter-
John will take their seats in the coun-
ell. and Mr.. w. T. Miller in the
board of aldermen. AT the recent
election, there were only three vacan-
cies to fill, those mentioned above.
The unexpired term of former Al
derman Charles Smith was filled ear
" this year by Mayor Yeiser for the
remainder of the term, which ends IN
December. Mr.. Smith was serving a
two year term, and had served over
a year of It. When he resigned Mayor
Yefser appointed Mr.. A. w. Greif,
and Mr.. Greif serves the remainder
of the term, or until January / next.
All of the aldermen recently elect
ed were chosen for two year terms
except Mr.. w. T. Miller, who was
elected to serve out the unexpired
term of JEFF j. Read, who resigned
after serving a few weeks. Mayor Yei-
ser had authority to appoint Mr..
Reeds successor only until the next
election when the people could say
who should fill the vacancy, and he
did it, naming Mr.. Henry Orme. The
people said Mr.. Miller should serve
out the term, and Mr.. Miller takes
his seat this week. Mr.. Greif serves
in Mr.. Smiths place until the first OF
the year, when Mr.. Smith would have
gone out of office. Then the alderman
elected for two years in Mr.. Smiths
ward. takes his seat. 1t is so plain
that there is no reason there should
be the slightest doubt or disagree
ment over IL. If Mayor Yeiser at
tempted to put someone in after Mr..
Greif serves the remainder of the
term up to January /. he would only
stultify himself. Mr.. Greif is in the
board of aldermen as successor to a
man who had served over a year. Mr.
Greif will have made up the remain
der of the two year term by January
1. If Mayor Yeiser could appoint
someone then, he could do It in the
case of every other alderman after he
had served two years.
The trouble seems to be that
number of people imagine that Mr..
Miller was elected to take Mr.. Greif's
place. This is a mistake. He was
elected to serve the fourteen months
that remain of Mr.. jeff Reads term.
No one was elected to fill out the re-
mainder of Mr.. Smiths term, and Mr..
Greif remains in the board to serve
It until January 1.
The charter is somewhat ambigu-
Gus on the subject of vacancies, but
the constitution of Kentucky, with
which the charter must not conflict,
is very plain. and Section i52 says:
Vacancies in all elective offices
shall be filled by election or appoint
ment as follows: II the unexpired
term will end at the next succeeding
election the Office shall be filed by

Our contemporary, the News-Dem-
to Senator Blackburn.
This is a mistake. We have always
been friendly to Senator Blackburn.
but as matter of fact and of news,
we have not attempted to mislead
anyone in regard to his chances for
reelection to the United States sen
ate, which may be the reason we are
considered by Senator Blackburn's
lieutenants unfriendly to him. The
however, which Is
for Blackburn first, last and all the
time, helped elect a man in McCrack
en- county at the recent election who
IL knew was against Blackburn and
knew would go to Frankfort and vote
against him. The Sun was friendly
enough to Senator Blackburn to tell
the people in advance that the Demo
cratic nominee was against Black
burn for the senate, which Senator
Blackburn's supporter, the News
Democrat, did did not do. Instead, II
said Vote the Democratic ticket"
which was equivalent to saying.
Vote for this Democratic nominee
he is going to Frankfort to vote
against Senator Blackburn" A ma
jority of the people voted for him,
and thus elected a man who will
vote against Senator Blackburn, and
the News-D Democrat did all it could
to aid in bringing it about. In other
words. with Senator Blackburn need
ing votes, it deliberately helped elect
a man to vote against him.

appointment for remainder of term.
If unexpired term shall not end at
the next succeeding annual election,
and II three months intervene before
said succeeding annual election the
Office shall be filed by appointment
until said election, and then said va
cancy shall be filled by election for
the remainder of the term. If three
months do not intervene between
happening of said vacancy and next
succeeding election the Office shall be
filled by appointment until the second
succeeding annual election, and then
IL any part of the term remains I'M
expired, the Office shall be filled by
election until the regular time for
the election of officers to I'll said of
ces. -
The words IF the unexpired term
will end at the next succeeding cleo
ton the Office shall be filled by APP
pointment for remainder of the term"
apply in this case. Alderman Smiths
term ends this year, and Mayor Yei-
ser appointed his successor until the
end of the term. therefore Mr.. Grief
holds the place until January /, when
one of the aldermen-elect. succeeds
for two years.

Mr.. w. B. Haldeman, of the Louis
Vile Times and Courier Journal, has
practically entered the race for
United States senator. He is the
dark horse"-or one of them. His
candidacy can mean but one thing
the weakening of the Blackburn for

plan to get the Louisville vote from

Criminal Docket.

Prior to the empaneling of the pet
il jury, the court called several cases
n which important witnesses were
known to be absent, necessitating 4
postponement of trial. They were
the cases against Sam Sweeney for
alleged postoffice robbery. and NJ. G.
Cope for alleged sm'bezzlement.
Sweeney is a young man who for
merly o,erked in the postofiice at
Boydsville. Tenn. and who is accused
of stealing a registered letter from
postoffice obtaining $40. He was
arrested shortly after the adjourn
ment of court last term, and gave
Bond. His case was again continued
today and ne is out on bond,
The Cope case was also continue

The Evansville journal News gives
this timely warning: "Just about the
time the people of the Ohio Valley
are organizing for the purpose of i'm
proving their great natural highway
of commerce, along comes Chicago
with a scheme to tap Uncle Sans
pocketbook for money sufficient to
build a canal from the lakes TO the
Mississippi so that the big city can
be in the swim when the Panama
canal is completed. 1t is the duty of
the o. V. |. A. to keep tab on every
move of this sort in order to circum-
vent it in favor of the great improve
ment our people have waited for so
long. A watchful eye and keen I'M
derstanding of things pertaining to
our needs means success. Indifference
to what is gazing on around us means
failure"
