ONE CASE or MANY

UlS \ere in this paper Mr., Ira

a.ss,sneray " regarded as a strong plea
ne eD,nself and for his new tenement
ahbusv on Jefferson avenue, abous
which there have been some wordy
proceedings In the city council. There
seems to be no doubt that Mr.. Hast
ings has made very decided improve
ment in the neighborhood where he
has had his new house built. The only
grave point that can be raised against
him is that he did not carry out the
terms Of his petition TO the city conn
ell, nor the terms of his permit from
that body. In short. he has erected
house for the building of which he
had no permit from the city council;
and If any action is brought against
him in court. that, it seems. should
be the contention--not that he built
nuisance. for his building can not
by any process of reasoning be so
presented.
However, although the letter Of the
law as 1t is found in the books stands
against Mr. Hastings, he can claim full
Justification for bis course in a long
line Of presidents running through
many years of practice by citizens and
condoned by those in authority. In
fact the city council itself. and It's
building committee. have often shown
small regard for the ordinances relat-
Ing to buildings. passing upon petit.

plans and specifications as required.
(which II did in the case of Mr.. Hast
ings petition) and overlooking other
Irregularities and defects which vio-

meeting of the city council. the pass
ing upon building permits has been
the standing farce. as Alderman Fer
gnson stated at the meeting Tuesday
night il being generally understood
that the granting Of the petitions was
a mere perfunctory formality. as the
buildings referred to in the papers
were. in ninety per cent OF the cases,
already near completion. or fully com
pleted and occupied. before the peti.
fions were filed. The building ordi.
mace has been as much a joke as the
ordinances against throwing refuse
and distractions in the streets. and
some others that might be cited: and
the public contempt for II has been
but an incident Of the general habit
Of sloyeniiness and disregard for
those laws which are intended to reg
ulate the conduct Of individuals in the
interest Of public neatness and health
and the material advancement OF the
city toward a metropolitan character.
which has long pervaded the commu-

The Mysteries of Sleep.

1t is related of a Chinese merchant
who was convicted of wife murder
and sentenced to die by being de-
prived of sleep that he was placed in
prison with guards charged hourly
for the purpose of preventing him
from sleeping. After the commence
ment of the eight days his suffering
was so intense that he implored the
authorities to strange, guillotine,
burn him, down him, gattote, shoot,
quarter, blow up with gunpowder, or
put him to death in any conceivable
way.
Natural sleep has been defined as
mental rest produced by an appetite
resulting from fatigue. But the idea
that mental rest means mental mac
ton is hardly tenable, inasmuch as it
quite frequently happens that the
solution of unsolvd problems is the
first thing to appear in the conscious
ness on awakening and thus the
mind must have been operative while
asleep.-Harper's Weekly.

THIRD REGIMENT DRY
and WAS "GRUBLESS'
That is a Story Which Comes
Back by the Way Of Hen :.

According to the story told by a
few of the young men who quilted the
military companies Of the Third
Kentucky regiment at Lebanon juno
ton and returned to their home rath-
er than continue the journey to
jamestown, Company b as well as
the rest, was not travelling de luxe,
neither did the boys in kaki find ev-
erything pleasant, says the Hender-
son Cleaner.
A five-gallon cooler Of ice water
was provided on the train for Com
pany B, and there were sixty-three
persons on board to drink II. The
supply did not last the first round
and the soldier boys were compelled
to drink whatever they could get hold
of.
One young man returned imme-
diately after the train reached Lab
anon Junction, saying that the spe-
cial was delayed about seven hours
before starting to Louisville, and that
probably fifteen men deserted and
caught trains coming back this way.
A Henderson boy said there was
nothing to eat on the train and that
reached Greensboro late Tuesday
night, there being no hotels or lunch
rooms accessible in the small towns
along the railroad between Owensboro
and Lebanon. He enjoyed seven ham
sandwiches made of stale bread
bought in a lunch room in Owens
boro, relishing them as If they were

Force Him off.

Judgment of the Clark Circuit Court
awarding Mrs. Abrelia Marcum widow
of James b. Marcum, VINO was assass-
mated while standing in the door of
the county courthouse in Jackson sew
eral years ago, damages in the sum
of $4,000 against James Hargis and
Edward Callahan, former County Judge
and Sheriff of Breathitt county, on
the ground that they had caused him
10 be shot and killed, was upheld by
the Court of Appeals last Friday. The
opinion of the court was handed down
by Justice Hobson. Judges Lassing
and Num- dissented from the opinion
of the majority of the court and unit
ed in a dissenting opinion delivered
by the former.
The action by Mrs. Marcum was
against James and Alex Hargis, Ed
ward Callahan and b. f. French. The
case was tried before a jury, who
found the defendants, Alex Hargis
and B. F. French, and for plaintiff
against the other two defendants
named in the petition.
Judge Hargis, who has been thus
sentenced 10 pay judgment of $4,000
.or assassination, is a member of the
Democratic State Executive Commit
Tee. The Times under stands that the
exceeding indelicacy of his longer re-
naming a member of that body has
been, time and again, suggested to
Judge Hargis, without results.
The Times desires to go on record
as protesting against the further re-
IGNITION Of Judge Hargis in any politi-
cal capacity whatever. If Judge Har-
gis declines TO resign, the executive
committee should pass resolution
denouncing his conduct and declining
10 hereafter associate win him.
Kentucky Democracy can not afford
10 condone, or even countenanCe, the
retention of this man in its councils.
His sitting there is an insult to his
party and an affront 10 political de-
cency. He has been adjudged an as
sassin by a Democratic Court of APP
peals and ordered to pay $4,000 dam
ages to the widow of his victim.
Judge Hargis should be forced off
the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee. His very presence is pollu-
ton; his touch means political death.
Force him oif-the quicker the better.

when Opportunity KNOCKS.

How well President Mckinley was
prepared every time opportunity
knocked at his gate was told by Mark
Hanna in a reminiscent after-dinner
hour. Mr.. Hanna was engaged In a
very important litigation over some
coal land left him by his father. The
case was in charge of ex-senator Thur
man, and associated with him were
several prominent Cleveland attorney.
1t was near the end of the lawsuit. Thu
last witness had been sworn. Senator
Thurman arose to addpess the judges
of the Supreme Court OF Ohio. Sudden
ly the brilliant lawyer trembled and
stopped speaking. He had TO be taker
from the room because of the stroke
that later caused his death. After Or
der had been restored, the Chief Jus
tice ordered the case to go on. Unbid
den opportunity knocked at the gates
of the associated attorneys. 1T was
the hour of fate" Not one of them,
however, was able to rise to the occa-
sion; and opportunity, for once at
any rate turned away. Mr.. Hanna
thought that the case was surely lost.
In his perplexity a yong man step
ped up and asked to speak to him for
a moment. In the interview which
followed, the stranger showed that ne
had neither been sleeping" or feast
ing" Up and awake, he was pre-
pared to seize the hand of opportu-
nifty even before it touched the gate
He said that his name was William
Mckinley; that for several years he
had seen that the developing OF the
coal fields was certain 10 give rise
TO litigation, and that having thor
oughly studied the laws relating 10
such cases, ne was prepared to go on
with the suit.
The case was given over to Mr. Nc
Kinley. For three hours he brought
argument after argument before the
court and won the case. The victory
secured for him the lifelong friend
ship of Mr.. Hanna.
Opportunity again found Mr.. Nc
Kinley waiting at the gate. This time
it was in Congress. Seeing that trade
conditions we're not very stable and
that a revision Of the tariff was sure
to come, he prepared for the hour of
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1907-07-19

opportunity. 1t came, and then, with
out doubt or hesitation, he took up tn
work and brought forth the famous
bill that bears his name.
Those who knew Mr.. Mckinley best
say that he also followed something
greater than opportunity, and that
through it he conquered every foe, in
Guiding death. At least, the words of
his favorite hymn which he repeated
just before the end, suggest that he
would be able to conquer "the last foe
to be subdued."
