Get a Big Dose of Law
Enforcement.


Democratic State committee,
knows how to get at law enforce
ment. The following article is
from the Howell Co. Gazette; il
shows how he goes about it aud
how he makes it work;
Bootleggers and gamblers were
severely dealt with in the Oregon
county circuit court at Alton last
week. There we're l25 gambling
cases and oyer thirty cases Of vio-
lating the local option law and in
almost every case a plea of guilty
was entered and the penitent vio.
Iator Of the law accepted the nomi-
nal fine that was assessed against
him.
The fines in the liquor cases
amounted to $l0,05O; for gam
bling 81. 200; keeping and operat-
ing gambling houses. $500. aud
one case of running a bawdy
house $500. The greater portion
Of these fines were remitted, pro-
viding the convicted persons pay
the costs. Some Jail sentences
were suspended pending good be-
havior.
I. V. Marshall, who was con-
victed on seventeen counts aud
fined So, 400 and sentenced to 900
days in Jail made settlement by
paying 800 and all costs in the
cases, and sentence was suspended
as to the remainder, providing he
conducts himself properly in the
failure, abstains from selling Ii.
quor and does not gamble. VIM.
Booker, Jas. Heigowood. j. o.
kimbrough and Andrew Self
pleaded guilty to selling liquor in
violation to the local option law.
Some of them are country mer-
chants who had been selling
bitters" bought from wholesale
houses, who informed them that
the sale of the goods was no vio-
latiOn of law. Ann Tracy, a ne
gro woman, pleaded guilty to con.
ductiug a bawdy house at Spring
City. and was fined 5000, being
paroled upon payment of S25 and
costs.
Ash HuisteddIer, barber of
Thayer. had been selling liquor at
that place for some time in viola
ton of the local option law.
There were four cases against him
and he pleaded guilty.
III shall fine you just $2l00 for
violating the local option law and
for gambling, and in addition shall
sentence you to seven months in
Jail" Judge Evans told Hufsted-
dler. But Pll let you off with
thirty days in Jail That will be
as good as the Kelley cure, for
shall instruct the sheriff that he
must not let you get whisky under
ANY circumstances. But Huf.
steddler did not get to take Judge
Evans Kelley cure. His brother
in law, j. w. Sloan. came for
ward and said Hufsteddler had
family to support and they could
not spare him. and then gave bond
for the payment of a part Of the
fine and costs.
Keepers Of gambling houses and
poker players also got theirs. 1t
is estimated that the fees of the
prosecuting attorney, j.. b.
Brooks. amounted to S570 In one
week. One of the thrilling scenes
during the court week was the

Have Nothing to Fear.

The Democratic party of Kentucky
and its orators upon the stump in
this years campaign,will have nothing
TO tear from the closest scrutiny by
management of the fiscal affairs OF
the State government and can well az
. d to meet in debate the utterances
Of the Republican platform upon the
subject The balance sheet OF the
Department OF State Auditor Hager
and State Treasurer Bosworth, both
OF whom are Democratic nominees
for State office, just issued. shows a
credit to the Commonwealth Of the
public T easury OF s2s4.2i2.9S. The
balance sheet OF one year before
slowed balance on hand at the close
of business Of SS23.04se3. Since that
time there has been paid out OF the
Treasury on account of the construc-
ton of the new State Capital about
$4,000 in round numbers. All obli-
cations OF the Commonwealth have
been met on the day that they were
due and presented, and Kentucky
is practically free from debt.
When the Democratic party took
up the reins OF government in 1900
following four years OF Republican
rule and a few months OF the no
torious Taylor regime. the retiring
Auditor showed balance in the
Treasury Of 1868, 334.5I but the liabf-
titles Of the Commonwealth amounted
to s2O62, sSl.S7. leaving behind him in
reality a deficit OF 81 .6ss. 657.3e in
excess Of the assets OF the State.
The present Democratic admins
tration. for several of its officials
have been in office since 1900, has not
only met promptly the current expen-
ses of the State, but 1t has dis
charged all Of the above liability ex-
cept few thousand dollars. less
than thirty thousand. which It can
lay at any time upon presentation
Of outstanding bonds for that amount.
In constructing a new Capital with
out the issue OF a single bond.
and without putting the State into
great debt for il, Kentucky has done
something that no other State OF the
United States has ever accomplished
in the last quartz century. Seven
hundred thousand OF the one and a
quarter million dollars appropriated
has been expended. and the Demo-
cratic officials and party leaders have
placed at the hands OF the Republican
opposition every opportunity to thor
doughty investigate every cent OF
expenditure.
It is upon such a record Of man
agement of fiscal affairs OF Ken
lucky that the party goes before the
people of the State in this years
campaign.
