COURT HOUSE BONDS
Would Carry by a Large Ma
jOrity if the Public was
Educated Along
That Line.

We have talked with quite a
mum Der of good citizens recently
who have asked us numerous
questions relative to the Court
house bonds, and invariably they
have expressed themselves that
if the people properly understood
the proposition that the bond
question would carry by large
majority.
Many of our citizens have but
the one idea, and that is that
the Courthouse bonds means a
heavy increase in taxes. This is
not true. 1t simply means that
it will make our taxes lighter.
Judge Faulkner stated from
the bench at the last term of
court that if the bond question
was defeated he would see TO it
that the Fiscal Court builta new
Courthouse anyway.
Now if he does that, what does
it mean? 1t means that instead
Of having twenty years in which
to raise the 100000 and pay off
the bonds, it will have to be
raised in two or three years and
it will have to come out of the
taxpayers pockets.
Now would it not be much cas-
ier to pay the 100000 in twenty
years than it would in two or
three years?
Again, if the bonds carry and
the time is extended twenty
years new comers who may To-
cate here in five or ten years
from now Will help to pay off the
bonds; whereas if we have to go
down into our pockets and pay
for it in two or three years, these
new comers will get the benefits
of the new Courthouse without
it costing them cent.
That is a common sense view
of the matter, and it is for the
interest of the taxpayers that
we have tried in our feeble way
to get this properly before the
people.
We have for some time been
we'll aware of the fact that there
are some who are opposed to
the Courthouse bond question
because this paper has favored
it. That matters not to us. We
are proud that we are endowed
with a broader conception of
other peoples interests than to
oppose a thing just because some
one else favors it or favor it be-
cause some one else opposes it.
We are glad that we were born
with a reasonable amount of
common sense and are sufficient
ly able to overcome prejudice
that we can be for that which is
right and will benefit the masses
even if some one else should be
the same way.
Now let's all set about to make
the bond issue a success, and
when we get the new Court
house we will I'll feel proud that
we were instrumental in helping
TO make it; Knox county de-
serves it and we should not
stand in her road to progress.

JUDGE lrNslry LOOKS LIKE a WINNER.

IDSOuOTe hOOSSNSlu llSNOl Vic
played his originality and straight
forwardness in a more striking
manner than on last Saturday,
when he decided the contest for
United States Attorney for the
Eastern district of Kentucky.
The incident is worth relating,
for it shows that candor and man
illness are preferred to subtle
diplomacy by the President,even
i'm the settlement of a difficult
question, where there are strong
contending interests.
When d. @. Edwards, Con-
gresham from the 1Ith Kentucky
district. reached Washington
Saturday morning, accompanied
by j. H. Tinsley, District Attor-
ney, he did not have the faintest
idea that Congressman j. B. Ben
nett and w. G.. Dearirg, would
be District Attorney, had select
ed that identical morning as
their time to interview the Pres
ident. Mr.. Edwards did know,
however, that Messrs. Bennett
and Dearing were in Washing
ton, and that it behooved him
self and Mr.. Tinsley to be max
ing hay while the sun shone.
Accordingly they hurried up
to the White House. While they
-fwere in the cabinet-room, wait
ing to see the President, much
to their surprise, Messrs. Ben
nett and Dearing were ushered
in. 1t was a bit em barrassing
for the man who wanted TO hold
on to his job to be thus thrown
into company with the man who
was after it, but there was no
time for apologies, for Messrs,
Edwards and Tinsley We're passed
on in to Mr.. Roosevelt's pres
ence. Mr.. Edwards was about
TO paint some glowing reasons
why Mr.. Tinsley should be con-
tinued in office when the Presi-
don't interrupted.
rs there any one else to be
heard in this matter?" he asked.
Mr.. Edwards, Of course, was
obliged to inform him that Ben
nett and Dearing were waiting
in the ca binet-room for an audi
ence.
LET'S HAVE IT OUT"
Let's send for them and have
it out face TO face" said the
President.
Mr.. Edwards had not counted
on such unexpected develop
ments, but, of course, he assent
ed. When Mr.. Bennett lined
up with Mr.. Dearing, and Mr.
Edwards stood up by the side Of
Mr.. Tinsley, the President pro-
ceeded to make an impromptu
little speech.
II have been President about
four years." he said, "and |
think | am onto my job well
enough to know just about what
you fellows are going to say. In
fact, think | could make your
speeches for yon. You (turning
to Mr.. Edwards) are about to
say that your friend, Mr.. Tins
ley, is an old soldier, that he has
held Office but one term, that he
has made u good record and de-
serves appointment. You Ito
Mr.. Bennett) are about to say
that your district has only but
lately been redeemed from the
Z Democrats; that you need what
strength you can get to keep it
redeemed, that your candidate
is a good man and worthy of this
appointment.

WATCHES
OF WORTH

In choosing such a companion
as a watch, one should be careful
to select the best and to buy only
at a store that guarantees every
watch sold.
There is no store hereabouts that
can show you an assortment OF re-
liable movements and. fine cases
than you may choose from here.
Our guarantee goes with every one,
of course.

Since the new improvements
have been made in the postof6ce,
Washburn boasts on one of the
handsomest and most convenient
Offices in the state.
The building was enlarged seven
feet by taking out the rear end, also
a large basement was dug in which
will be placed the furnace to heat
the building. The interior Of the
building was finished with steel
ceiling and siding ola very hand
some pattern and the large plate
glass 6OX6O affords plenty of
light. The heavy oak fixtures with
the iron railing around the top
is a handsome piece of work, being
of solid oak and of a massive de-
sign and richness in finish has to
be seen to be appreciated. The
fixtures we're made by an eastern
firm and every thing was complete
even to the smallest detail.

The charge against Kim is that of
buying and selling diseased meat and
the evidence against him is so stron.-
that he can hardly escape term in
the peEiteutiary. Stefan located in
little howell near Burbank some time
ago. He was never moleSted by his
neighbors. who knew nothing OF what
he was doing or how he made a liv,
