Democratic United States Senator.

the best wishes of large number of
Republicans, which, of course, cut no

Every voter in Kentucky should
remember that at the November
election an opportunity will be
given them to say at the polls
whether they are in favor of an
amendment to the constitution,
going back to the open ballot.
When the present constitution
was adopted it was believed by
its trainers, that is a majority of
them, that the secret ballot
would stop fraud and the peope
would be given fair elections, but
there has been an utter failure
up to the present time. If you
are in favor of returning to the
honest system of voting which
was in force in the days of "old
honest" when every vote was
counted as cast, you should place
your stencil in the square opposite
yes" but if you want to return
to the dark secret system which
originated in Australia and has
been used in Kentucky for thir-
teen years to disfranchise voters,
then you should vote no.

The interesting personal item
in regard to Witte, the Russian
peace plenipotentiary, comes
from across the water, that his
wife is a Jewess a fact that has
closed many doors to him in Rus
sian court and official circles and
been a certain obstacle to him in
his public career. The independ-
ence required to contract such a
marriage would tend to make
Witte still more interesting fig.

A juror in a New York murder
trial recently asked the judge
permission to have stock market
quotations brought him during
the trial. He explained that if
he knew how the market was 60

and could give better attention to
the trial. Permission was grant

trial for murder was found guilty

est man the world, yearns fol
sympathy. Broken in health and
knowing that he has been a
grinder since early manhood,
riches bring no comfort to him.
No man in lifetime can make,
honestly, the amount of wealth
now at Rockefeller's command,
and the only restitution for him
is to restore his ill-gotton gains,
then plead with his Heavenly
Father for forgiveness. This is

1t was one of the shameful facts
to be recorded against the United
States that the crime of homicide
was so much greater in this
country than in Canada, just
across the border. From the
best statistics obtainable it was
learned that there were 10000
persons killed annually in this
country during the time of pro-
found peace. This was q greater
number than were killed in the
Spanish American war, a n d
more than were killed in any one
battle Of the Russo Japanese
war. Judge Grace said the car
rying of pistols by men was a
bad example to the boys OF the
land and led to many crimes. He
urged the grand jury to be vig-
liant in looking after those who

The bill which passed the sem
ate, requiring long-distance tel
ephone companies to give con-
nection with local telephone
companies, was defeated in the
house.
The lower house and the senate
are becoming quite angry with
each other, and the senate is
killing house bills with a VEN

iates by smothering senate bills.
In this respect, the stately law
makers are not unlike a gang OF
small fry.
The senate has endorsed a
measure taking the power to APP
point the members of the state
levee board out of the governors
hands. Governor Davis has ad-
dressed a special communication
to the lower house asking that
body not to concur with the up
per branch.
The Toney bill to prevent mob
violence in the state has passed
the senate. The bill provides
that when a crime is committed
that it is feared will be avenged
by a mob, the sheriff shall notify
the circuit judge, and the party
who committed the crime must
be given a trial within ten days.
