Governor Beckham is showing
a strong hand in aiding the May
or of Louisville to enforce the
Sunday Law. The whisky ele-
ment is strong and defiant but
it is facing a stronger element
and able and determined leaders.
Governor Beckham asks the sa-
loon people only to live within
the present law and practically
notifies them that if they persist
in ignoring the Sunday law that
they may lose all the privileges
they now possess. The Cover
is understood to favor vote for
prohibition in the entire State
rather than have the saloon peo-
pie of Louisville control the stu
alton. There is scarcely a doubt
as to the result of a vote on whis-
ky in this State. It would go
out bysa heavy majority and not
only would the saloons of Louis
vile close, but every screen door
in the State would be set aside.
Probably it will be best for the
whisky interests to obey the clos
ing law and likewise it would be
better for the State for them to
antagonize the legal authorities
and bring the proposition before
the voters of the State and blot
out their privileges in every COM
munity. The fight in Louisville
will be watched with much in
terest and since the Governor has
decided to aid the Mayor there is
not likely to be any let up in de-
mands and obedience to law will
ultimately be established.

1t looks like the saloon men in
Louisville will win out. Judge
Mccain held that section 1903
the sale of liquor on
Sun d ay unconstitutional. He
stated that, in his opinion, pros
ecutions may be had under sec
ton 1921, providing for general
observance of the Sabbath. To
us it looks like a case of corrup-
ton. The situation in Louisville
touching liquor selling will not
be improved until there is a dis
position upon the part of certain
officers to see that the law is en-
forced. Like all cities, Louis
vile is corrupt, not any more so
than others, and to purify the
atmosphere men like 10 Folk will
have to take hold Of the reins of
the government.

Everybody in this section has seen a
black snake called ''cow sucker" but

WE'D, JUNE +. 1906

The call for a meeting Of the
Democratic Executive Committee
of the State, on June 18th, fol-
the purpose of fixing time and
prescribing a manner of nominal
ing candidates for State Offices
and for United States Senator, is
in our judgment, premature and
WIDELY unwarranted by the ne
cessities of party policy. The
fact is that such action is not, at
this time, demanded nor wanted
by the great part of our party, but
evidently comes from the brains
of the scheming few who, doubt
less seek advantage in their per-
sonal ambitions. 1t is generally
believed that a primary will be
called on the day of the general
election next November, and it is
claimed tn at the committee
is justified in taking this advanc-
ed step in the belief that such &C
tion will assist Congressional
nominees in close districts and
especially in the Third. Wheth-
er this be true or false or wheth-
er it is the purpose of certain as
pirants to force an early and un-
due decision in the selection of a
ticket and thereby advance their
claims is unknown, but we do not
see any good to come to Demo-
cratic principles or party suprem-
ecy in such action. We believe
in the broadest opportunities to
all, the fairest means and meth
DDS and so understand our party,
to teach and practice the same.
There is no necessity for making
a ticket twelve months in adj
vance of a contest. The Demo-
Gratis do not want it and if such a
course is mapped OUT by the COM
mittee it will act in open defiance
to Democratic sentiment in this
State and introduce a dangerous
precedent that may later on cost
the party an enormous bill. Else
where we reproduce an editorial
from the Elizabethtown News
which is plain, open and positive,
and which, doubtless, pictures
the true motives behind t h e
movement to bring about nominal
tons prematurely. We do not
favor a primary and can not
see a single reason to justify the
selection of our candidates so far
in advance. Twelve months may
find our most popular political
lights but dimly shining; twelve
months may bring us face to face
with new issues, new methods
and even greater men; twelve
months may prove a great mis-
take to both party and State. We
trust that the committee will not
act hastily in this matter but lis
ten as well to the appeals of Dem
ocrats who do not favor t h e
course outlined as truly as those
who urge early action. The
great number of voters is not to
be ignored if success in the end is
to be obtained. Step by step ma
chine methods will work the over
throw of any party though
the m a j ority may be un-
questioned a nd unchallenged.
The committee should select such

c. o. d. Packages
Piling Up High

A special from Jackson, Miss,
says:
Piled high in the corners OF
nearly every local office of the
American Express Company in
the State are packages of C. O.
d. liquor shipped by Kansas
City wholesalers and distillers to
bibulously inclined. persons and
residing in local option com
munities, and which the express
company refuses to deliver, while
the consignors decline to take it
off their hands.
These are the liquor packages
that were in transit when the
American Express Company
announced its decision not to de-
liver any more c. O. d. liquor
into this State, and which the
Kansas City liquor houses sought
to have delivered via the injunc-
ton process, but the courts re-
fused to come to the relief of the
vendors, standing by the common
carrier in its determination to
give on further aid or encourage
ment to the traffic.
1t is estimated that not less
than $4,000 worth of whisky
and other liquors is tied up in
this manner in the various local
Offices, and there it
promises to remain until the
is finally disposed of by
the United State Supreme Court,
where it is to be carried as soon
as the appeal from tie recent
decision of Judge Niles can be
perfected.

It is Congressman Shackle-
ford's opinion shat President
Roosevelt will again be candi-
date for the presidency, although
he says there are some in Wash
ington who doubt this. He says
that the trend Of events in Wash
ington plainly points to a desire
on the Presidents part to serve
another term in the White House.
One day be is making overtures
and concessions to the radical
element Of the party, and the
next playing to the conserva-
tives.
Every Democrat in Washing
ton favors the nomination Of MIR.
Bryan for the presidency, said
Mr.. Shaekloford. "If there is
one Democrat in either the SEN
ate or House who opposes his
nomination, l have not heard of
him.
Between Mr.. Bryan and
President Roosevelt / have no
doubt but what many RrpubIi-
cans would choose the former.
THE President is too vacillating,
His own party is afraid Of him,
and undoubtedly the democrats
have found him out we'll enough
to withhold support from him in
the future"
