sulting and advising with leading
Democratic politicians of the State,
reproduced an article from the Muir
ry Ledger in opposition to forming
the proposed new county. The ar
ticle says: 1.-THE idea of making
another county in Kentucky is ride
ulous. This was tried at a recent
session of the Legislature. The bill
passed, and its name was Grips.
But the great statesmen who put it
through didn't know a compass from
a custard. When the surveyor put
his line to it they found that it took
off a slice of Ohio, including a court
house. How thoughtful! Kentucky
already has l19 counties; Tennessee
has only ninety-six; Indiana ninety
two; Pennsylvania siXty-seven; Ohio
sixty-eight and other States in pro-
portion, yet we hear of no movement

somebody's vanity except in ring
ridden Kentucky" If the Herald
is actually opposed to the formation
of the new county why doesn't it
have the boldness to declare so?
You are polder OF public opinion
so says Prof. Patterson in quota
ton in your columns. Why then
don't you take some unmlstak-
able stand on this very important
question. It's not personal affair
as we understand it. But matter
that vitality concerns the public.
The public seem overwhelmingly
opposed to Remembering the good
county of Ohio to form a new one
and for that reason we have all along
stood out in opposition to the scheme.
Can't you, Mr.. Herald, fall IN with
the vast majority and give us scme-
thing original?

Fire-Bug in the County.

An incendiary fire Monday night
destroyed a large barn and much
valuable property for Mr.. Ed David
son, Ohio counties wealthiest farmer
near Shreve. The barn was forty
four by one hundred and ten fet and
was valued at $1,000, and contents OF
the building destroyed were worth
$4,000. They consisted of 1000 bush
els of corn, a large quantity...of hay
and fadder, four valuable horses
and several hundred dollars worth
of tools and farm machinery. The
building burned early in the night

1T is certainly wonder how they
do things in Louisville. A few days
ago Shoals, Indiana, safe was rob-
bed of, among other things, $4,000
in bonds and to procure their return
a reward of $1,000 was offered.
Last Thursday the owner of these
bonds was notified by a Louisville
lawyer that he had the bonds and
the following day the owner appear
ed and the bonds were turned over
to him, the lawyer receiving the re-
ward money, $1,000. The grand
jury has spent week investigating
the matter and has exhausted every
available means to disclose the iden-
tity of the party or parties guilty of
the theft but they have as yet been
unable even to learn from whom the
Louisville lawyer procured the bonds.

THE Elizabethtown News. the
acme of Democracy in Hardin coun-
ty, says: 1--WE used to believe that
all the rascals were in the Republican
party, but since reading the investi-
cations of the recent Louisville cleo
ton our mind has undergone an en-
tire change" Judging from its ac-
ton in the Neal-Baxter contest, the
Kentucky Legislature prefers as one
of its members one of these individ-
uals of whom the News so aptly
speaks.

ARCHITECT ANDREWS, of the new
State Capitol, has had his way about
the purchase of a new site for the
structure, to the States discredit as
well as $50. 900 expense. Now he is
urging the present Legislature to
appropriate a million dollars more
to be expended in completing the
building. OF course Mr.. Andrews
wants more. He gets ten per cent.
of the cost of the Capitol and the
more it costs the more will be his
profit. The Legislature should be
very slow to appropriate more
money to be placed, for expenditure,
in the hands of a man who prevailed
upon it to abandon the most beauti-
full site of the present Capitol build
ing for the very rugged, unsightly
country spot of ground at cost of
$50, 900 on which a hole has been
dug preparatory to building the
million, two million or two and a
half million Capitol.

THERE are quite number of i'm
portant measures pending before
the Kentucky Legislature and the
members thereof would do them
selves proud if they would get down
to business and pass them. Among
them is bill introduced by our own
Senator, Hon. Avis S. Bennett,
which seeks to prohibit gambling
on horse racing, another is an anti
cigarette bill and still another is a
bill providing that the county shall
be the unit in determining whether
or not liquors shall be sold. That
is: if a majority of the people of any
county vote to have no saloons there
can be none in that county. These
proposed measures if enacted into
laws would do much to enhance NOR
atty and insure purer and better
citizenship. They are backed and
Endorsed and their enactment urged
by the leading moralists and reform
ers of the State.

Pierce Admits Facts About Kansas
Showing in Revolver Contest.

Colonel William A Pierce, who cap
tanned the Kansas rife team in the Sea
Girt shoot. returned today from his
eastern trip.
sThe Kansas team, said Colonel
Pierce, came out wenty-fourth in the
match. This is the official result
There were forty-one competitors. Last
year, with thirty-Six competitors, we
climbed up into the teens this year if
we had not fallen into bad luck on our
skirmish run. We were assigned to
make the skirmish run at o'clock in
the morning, when the mist was
rolling in from the sea, and the sun
was in our faces. The shadows of the
targets were cast by the sun in such
a way that the men could not tell
whether they were shooting at the
shadow or the target. Every team
which had to make the skirmish run at
the same time we did fell down in
their score for the same reason"
AS was announced a few days ago.
the Kansas revolver team scored third
But thereby hangs a tale.
When the message came from Colo
mel Pierce announcing that Kansas had
secured third place in the revolver
competition, Adjutant General J. w.
F. Hughes was all swelled up with
pride.
THAT shows what our boys can DOR
he exclaimed jubilantly. IT expect
there were 3 or lOO teams from all
over the United States shooting against
us in that competition"
When Colonel Pierce arrived this
morning a frtendRof his remarked:
well. I see that Kansas got third
in the revolver competition.
Eyes, we did first rate in that" said
Colonel Pierce.
How many teams competed?'' was
asked.
well, you see,' said Col. Pierce hesi-
-
but two Of them dropped out. So three
teams participated in the shooting
The Kansas revolver team is in much
the same position as the little boy whose
father gave him a dollar for standing
third in the class.
The revolver teams which competed
against Kansas were New York and
New Jersey. The New York team is
composed of crack shots of national re-
pute, and they distanced all competitors

lMrs. c. F. Menninger.)
Vacation is over: School has be-
gun!" That ought to mean something
planned to do through the winter by
everyone, be it much or htt3e-but
something.
A systematic study OF the Bible
makes as good growing material as
can be found Perhaps the following
may help some one to decide to take
up the Bible study this winter.
Ten reasons why I should study the
Bible, by William Rainey Harper:
l. Because the Bible is SO well
known. It is well known; for go where
one will he finds it It presents itself
to him at every turn.
2 Because it is not we'll known.
When everything possible has been said
it remains true that the ignorance
which prevails with respect to this well
known book is stupendous-
8. Because of what it is as history.
There is no history like that of the
chosen nation. It should be studied, and
the difference between that and other
history discovered.
A. Because of what it is as litera-
ture. To have studied the lyric odeS
of other peoples. overlooking the
Psalms: to have studied the epics of
other Iiteratures, remaining ignorant
of the book of Job; to have read the
orations Of the Greek and Roman ora
tors, forgetting those of Isaiah and
jeremiah, IS objectionable IN these
DAYS Of comprehensive knowledge.
8. Because it shows the gradual de-
/ velopment through centuries of d.
vine plan for mans redemption The
revelation came step by STEP from cen
! turv by century until it was given most
fully and finally in the Christ
g. Because it describes the censum-
nation of this plan in the life and death
of Jesus Christ, and in the establish
ment Of the Christian church.
z. Because 1t contains the funda-
mental principle Of national life. The
institutions Of Israel rest upon eternal
/ principles. study the Bible If you
would know how to act as a citizen
! how to govern as a ruler
s. Because It preseribes a rule OF
+ guidance for individual life No man
] has dared to say that the Bible is not
j everything It has claimed to be a.
teaching men how to live and how moi
TO live.
