Occasionally. but not often enough.
we stop in the turmoil Of politics
to consider the responsibility that
the casting OF ballet carries with
it. 1t is Of greater moment than
the average good citizen realizes. We
misuse the sacred trust Of suffrage
very often without giving Il a seri-
Gus thought There are some offices
to which an unfit man may be elect
ed without serious results. but there
are many others that should never
have an incompetent or unworthy
man placed in them. Particularly Is
this true OF judicial positions. The
very life OF our government depends
upon clean conrts. Our Judges must
be men who are honest and clean;
men who by instinct and training
are upright and Just; men possessed
OF high ideals. and who have never
dethroned such ideals by living in
debauchery. The character that has
never surrendered TO the temptations
that ruin men Is the one that pos
sesses the qualifications for the strong
able and just Judge OF our courts.
Such a man is the Honorable J. B
Hannah. candidate for Circuit. Judge
in this district His Illss has been
correct all the way through His na-
ture and habits direct him along the
right path Accustomed to searching
for the truth, he will inquire only
for the right in dispensing justice
from the bench. We heard man
who served in the State Senate with
Mr. Hannah declare that he was abb
solutely the eleanest man he ever
knew in public life Not the slightest
faint OF suspicion attached To any
act OF his during two sessions OF the
Legislature and that Is a place where
only the sturdiest characters with
stand the temptations
Another prominent attorney who
knows Mr. Hannah intimately and Is
acquainted with his abll-
ity as a lawyer. says he is the best
equipped man in the district for Cir
cult Judge. and predicts thar his rec
ord in that office will equal any in
the State Of Kentucky. This gentle
man does not now live in this district
and has no personal interest in the
matter. but voluntarily expressed this
opinion in private conversation
Cast your vote for Mr. Hannah and
let US have a court that knows the
law and will deal out j'rstice 10 all
men regardless Of politics or any
thing else

His Memory.

Every one who has read Robinson

Miss White, while recently travelling
in England, learned that the famous
gun, which had been an heirloom in
the Selkirk family for two centuries,
was to be sold at auction in Edin-
burgh. Being a collector of curios,
she sent an agent to the sale, and aft.
er some spirited bidding he secured
the prize for $162.75.
The relic is in an excellent state of
preservation. The flintlock still
works on its hinges and answers to
the touch of the trigger. The old
weapon is almost six feet long.
About 351 miles to the westward OF
the Chilean coast is group of three
small islands known as the archipel-
ago of Juan Fernandez, and named, re-
spectively, Mas a TERRA, Mas Afuera
and Santa Clara. Mas TERRA, bet
ter known as Juan Fernandez, is the
one upon which Selkirk lived for years
as a castaway. He was not wrecked,
as De Foe causes Crusoe to be, but
was sent ashore by Capt. Straddling,
with few personal effects, which in
cluded his seaman's chest, the famous
fire lock. one pound of powder, some
bullets, tobacco, a Ratchet, a knife, a
Bible and his mathematical instru.
