Maryland and Kentucky.

This is the last week of the campaigns
Except in two states matters have been
!angutd. What might have been a rous-
Ing race in Massachusetts, was spoilt
by false start of the democrats. The
Whitney people and the Bartlett people
have been using against each other
energy properly to be employed against
common enemy, with the result that
the common enemy in this case has been
living on Easy street. and now calmly
awaits triumph on election day
1t is in Maryland and Kentucky that
the most interest has been awakened
and 1t has steadily grown. Both states
have been thoroughly canvassed, and in
dications are that a large vote will be
thrown. Both states normally are
democratic. and are now under DEM
ocratic rule. In both, however dem
ocratic rule has come to be synonymous
with machine rule. and formida bic re-
volt in the democratic ranks has re-
suited If the republicans succeed next
week it will be with the aid of demo-
Gratis who feel themselves justified in
turning from their party at this time.
The republicans in both states are APP
strong tickets MIR. Gather, who heads the
Maryland ticket ts leader of the Balti-
more bar, and for his personal and profess
sional character as much esteemed by
democrats as by republicans He has made
honest elections the paramount issue, and
pledges himself If elected to use the infiu-
ence of his Office toward securing the en-
actment of an elections law banishing the
elements of trckery and false counts, and
guaranteeing the real rule of the electo-
rate. The issue is popular with republi-
cans independents, and all but machine
democrats.
Mr.. Wilson. who heads the Kentucky
ticket. holds the same place at the Louis
VILE bar that Mr.. Gather does at the Bal
timofc bar. and IS quite as popular at
home personally. He Is a good speaker,
and his audiences everywhere have been
large. Many democrats have pledged
him support, on the ground that the
Beckham machine. which has grown out
of the Goebel machine. has demoralized
their party and injured the state. Mr.
Watterson. whose pen is not employed. but
whose newspaper is Supporting the demo-
cratic ticket, yet says that Kentucky I'M
der the present administration is the
worst governed state in the Union.
In the light of these facts. should both
Maryland and Kentucky go republican
next week the result should make more
for improved local gcy eminent there than
for any strictly partisan ends, state or
national For both democrats and inde-
pendents are aiding the republicans upon
appeals higher than partisanship.

Guilty when they have been driven out
upon the road by the very lack of en-

The real problem relates to the habitual
tramps. the men who have cast loose per-
manentiy from organized society. who
have abandoned their responsibilities as
citizens, have deserted families and have
fallen Into the vicious habit of subsisting
upon their begging enterprise. They
are on the borderland OF criminalty, and
from them are undoubtedly developed
many Of the most dangerous violators OF
the laws. The chief purpose of any cru
SADIE against this form of the tramp con-
dillon IS to render life In the ranks Of
the army SO unpleasant, so hazardous of
success, in tramp terms that wouid-be
newcomers will be discouraged and will
turn to better ways of life. If every
state In the country and every county
and every city. town or village were to
adopt uniform measures to persuade the
tramp that his way will be hard and that

way of general bettcrment of Condi-

are IN a position to help materially by
increasing their efforts to prevent tramp
travel.
These tens of thousands of men who
wander about the cou~try stand for a
serious economic waste, and present an
inevitable menace to the safety Of prop

Trees.


''Woodman, spare that treer'
We sang 1t long ago:
But just the same the woodman came
And laid the giants low.
We turned them into tables,
We chopped them into pegs
And things unique in styles antique,
With queer, unsteady legs.
We swept them from the hillside
And from the mountain stream,
And lest the ak our arms might tax
We sawed them up by steam;
And even art got busy
With geometrIc marks;
To ease the nerves that shrank froI
curves.
They cleared them from the parks,
Across q sterile plaza
The winter wind blows free;
On summer days the suns hot rays
Beat fierce as fierce can be;
All, Spare that tree'-the echo
Falls on the desert air.
But such Is fate. 'Tis all too late
There are no trees to spare.

Psychology seems to be the fashionable

all the high schools, and discussions OF
its abstruse points burden the 1O-cent

who had ever read "A Dolls House

officio an intellectual. But that time has
gone the way of the water under the
bridges. Today old Ibsen is as common

acquaintance with psychology. The die

We have referred once or twice to

the >city connciI should remove the
names which have been placed upon
the posts and have the CORRECT spcll4
ing Of the strcet,pl} on; The cost would
be very little and ii does seem to us if
II is worth while to post the names
OF the streets it is. worth while that
the names be correctly spelled.
Our attention has also been called
to the fact that O'Ncall street is
spel led "O'Neal".' TT is Il little re.
markablc that the name which is SO
tanllh iAr TO the people, Of Ncwberry
county and which was so much honor
ed not only bue the people Of his own
county but by the people Of the en-.
tire state should So often be ,sp.. lied
incorrectly. Certainly the city faith
ers, af 1t is their purpose to honor the
name OF this great man by having a
street called for him, should spell his
name correctly. 1t is really more in
eScusablc that O'Neall street should
be spelled Incorrectly than probably
any other street in Tie city.
This may he a small matter to some
people but if ynu are going to post the
names of the streets at ALL and as
that must be done in order to have
free delivery established. it does
seem that it is worth while to have
the spelling correct.
