requisite for the acrobatic pupil. Courage
and patience are the other essential quail
ties. Unless q boy is absolutely fearless
he might as well give up the game before
he begins to play, and when an experienced
acrobat finds that he is losing his nerve he
should give up the work al once before he
kills himself. An acrobat must not eat too
much. Three light meals a day for him,
and absolutely no foolish things. Very little
meat. very little coffee and very little

Some Fellow May Want The
Water Turned On.

Some degnerat son of Adam. I'M
less he makes other preparations,
will need to have the water turned
on down yOnder, where it is hotter
than it hasbeen this week in town.
1t may be that he is getting ready
for reducing the temperature in
Satan's realm when he makes his
first appearance there. Any way
the sinner couldn't resist carrying
from DR.. John w. Lewis front yard
Thursday night so feet Of new lawn
hose, the nozzle and coupler. The
Doctors loss approximates $40 or
more. Just enough to send the fell
low to Eddyyille should the law ever
get him in hand. OF course DR..
Lewis wouldn't be instrumental in
sending him there but would be
more apt to point the thief to a bet
ter world than the one he is evident
ly headed for now.

The dastardly outrage at Edgoten
Thursday was the first case of actual
blOOdshed growing out of the law
IesEness that is disgracing Kentucky
and Tennessee. From infammatory
speeches to threatening letters; from
letters to plantbed scraping; from
destroying plants tn barn burning,
and from incendiarism to attempts
at wholesale murder by Russian
methods have been the successive
steps in the reign of kukluxism that
has so far gone unchecked in the
Dark Tobacco District The time
has come to stop this era of crime
no matter whose feelings may be
hurt. If the law is inadequate,
there are other ways. Christian
county had experience with night
riders many years ago and found a
wav to rid the county of them. In
diana had experience with White
caps and adopted a plan that put
them out of business. The identity
of many of the night riders, espe-
ciaIly those in Trigg county, is no
longer a mystery. Many of them
are 80 bold in their movements that
they are well known by their victims.
If the law cannot reach them, it is
because officers are neglecting their
duties. The law itself is adequate
1t is a felony to even wear mask
on a public highway and the greater
crimes all have adequate penalties
It is true some benighted counties
are in hopeless condition, where
the officials are in sympathy witt
Iawlessness and the press is under
the same Upas tree, but in thi
county, at least, there are officers
who are willing to enforce the laws

country are on you. The KENTUCKIAr

way it can. Get busy.
