a Man Selected by Prosecutor Lang
don from Board Of Supervisors.
San Francisco, June ia radical
change in the executive branch of San
Francisco's government is contingent
on developments in the case of Mayor
Schmitz, who is temporarily incapaci-
tated by reason of his Imprisonment
in the county jail. The date for the
passing of sentence on Mayor Schmitz
has been set for June 27. Prior to
that date he cannot possibly procure
bail, according to the decision Of
Judge Dunno, but the law provides
that after Judgment has been passed
the matter Of allowing bail is discre-
tionary with any magistrate having
jurisdiction, Consequently II judg-
ment is passed on the date set Mayor
Schmitz will have ground for a new
application for bail and his request
may run the gamut, not only OF the
twelve judges of the superior court,
but of the appellate justices and
judges Of the police court as we'll.
Whether Mayor Schmitz will ask for
sentence ON June % or ask for con-
tinuance, has not been stated by his
attorneys. This has made It impossi-
bic for the prosecution to plan its ac-
ton in this regard.
The conviction of Mayor Schmitz
has at last made simple what has
heretofore been a complex problem.
The charter provision making 1t in
cumbent upon the board of supervisors
to appoint an acting mayor from their
own number whenever the mayor be-
comes temporarily incapacitated from
performing his duties Of office can be
taken advantage of because of Mayor
Schmitz's Imprisonment. When Pros
ecuting Attorney Langdon gives the
word, backed with the power Of the
supervisors, James Gallagher or some
other supervisor will be at once APP
pointed acting mayor. designations
will be accepted from one or two
members OF the board who are not
only willing but actually clamoring for
a chance to become free again. and
vacant place will be filled with the
man chosen by the prosecutor TO take
the mayors chair. Gallagher will then
be ordered to resign; the board will
be instructed to place the new mem
Der in his stead and the new member
as acting mayor will start by chopping
on Chief OF Police Dinen's head and
then proceed down the line.

"OUR KENTUCKY"
Graduating Grafton Of Harry Burnam
Kinnard in Berea College, June 5,
1907.

"Bordered by five mighty states on
the north and east and stretching south
to the historical battleflelds Of Tenn
essee. there is found upon the map Of
the United States a spot that is
shaped like a country ham. The fat
end rests upon the backbone Of the
Cumberland Mountains. and the hook
is dipped in the turbulent waters Of
the mighty Mississippi" That spot
Is Kentucky. our native state. a state
which we are all proud to call our
home.
one hundred and fifteen years ago
last Saturday. Kentucky was admitted
into the Union. She may well be proud
OF her history. The pioneer Kentuck-
ians crossed the mountains with their
old flint-lock rifles on their shoulders.
determined TO win a new home for
themselves. They fought the Indian
until his warwhoop no longer rang
in the forest, and his scalping knife
no longer cleaned at the cabin door.
Under the leadership Of George Rogers
Clarke they won from the British the
northwest territory by their capture
Of Kaskaskia and Vincennes. Ten
thousand Kentuckians took part in the
defense OF Ohio and Michigan in the
war Of 1912 and one-thlrdof the army
which under Jackson defeated the Brit
ish at New Orleans consisted of Ken
lucky volunteers. In the war with
Mexico the question was not how
many troops were required from Ken
lucky, but how many the government
could be induced to accept. Kentucky
was the first state to strike a blow for
Cuban liberty. It was a Crittenden,
who. when captured by the Spanish
and ordered to kneel that he might
be shot. proudly uttered the keynote
of his race. "A Kentuckian kneels only
to woman and his God, and always
dies facing his enemy"
in the Civil War. Kentucky furnish
ed Lincoln to the North. and Davis to
the south. Forty Thousand of her sons
wore the gray. and eighty thousand
the blue. the largest number in pro-
portion TO population that has ever
been furnished in time Of war by any
modern state. No wonder the Ken
tuckians are noted the world over for
their daring and bravery Their
blood has enriched every battlefield.
and their deeds have illumined every
page of the nations history.
But enough for the past. Let us
turn for a moment and see what the
present and future have in store for
Kentucky. Today we are entering up
on new era, an era which is COM
pletely Transforming the world. Every
age has some dominant spirit The
dominating spirit that is actuating this
age is the spirit of reform. All over
our broad country 1t has been doing
its good work. In education, politics
and religion it has worked changes
which are OF the greatest value to
mankind. Our own state is now COM
ing fully in touch with the spirit of
the age. The spirit of reform is here.
and 1t is echoing from the press, the
pulpit, and the platform.
The need for a better educational
system is the great CRYING need Of our
state, and 1t is a need to which the
people are nobly responding. At last
we are awakening to the fact that our
school-houses are very far apart

and our standard of education is very
low. We are beginning to realize
that the world now calls for educated
men and women. How foolish we
would consider the soldier who would
20 into a battle without a weapon!
But how much more foolish the per-
son who goes out TO fight the battle
OF life without an educationl He is
as helpless as the unarmed soldier, and
history and experience alike prove
that he has small chance Of success.
But we would not have you believe
that the need for better education Is
the only need Of our state. There are
others which are almost as pressing
and here too the spirit Of reform is
at work. Kentucky has often been
accused of being a state where there
is little or no respect for the law. That
its good name has often been tarnish-
ed by lawlessness and disregard for the
sacredness Of human life we cannot
deny. That much whiskey has been
made and drunk in our state we also
admit. But these conditions are now
rapidly changing. Everywhere Law
and Order Leagues are being formed.
and the women and children Of our
Kentucky towns are marching in pro-
cessions thru the streets and plead
ing to men to vote out the saloons.
The evils OF lawlessness and intern
perance must be destroyed, and there
are others, which as yet are hardly
touched. Party methods now prevail
ing In our state admit Of no defense
or excuse. and demand immediate and
thoro reform. In many places party
leadership has passed into the hands
of politicians, who think more OF party
success than of public good. They
have not come to realize that pub
lie office is a public trust" and value
place and power in proportion as they
afford opportunity to promote party
and personal ends. To these methods
backed by a party spirit that tolerates
IL II does not inspire them. the bad
condition of our politics is to be at
tributed.
II we would remedy these condi-
tions. we must put our state pride
and loyalty above our party pride and
loyalty. We must vote for the best
man regardless of party affiliations.
This, l know will seem very strange
and radical measure to many of you,
vet It is one which is being used very
effectively all over our country today.
The evil and base politician can no
longer shelter himself under the cloak
of his party. He must not only rep
resent principles but he must have
principles.
The battle OF reform is already on.
Every good citizen is soldier and his
best weapon Is the ballot Arise, Ken
tuckiansl Go forth to the battle clothed
in the armor of righteousness. and the
time will soon come when Kentucky
will no longer be called the Ozark and
Bloody Ground" when It will no long
err be noted for its good whiskey and
it's dead-shots, its lawlessness and It's
feuds, but when 1t shall be called the
Fair and Peaceful Ground" the home
