ACCEPTED THE INVITATION

We recently met a man who was
under the influence of whiskey.
He said that for about two years
he had not been drunk. He lives
in IA local option town. While in
Winchester he met friend who
had for some years lived in Clark.
That friend invited him to drink
and he entered a saloon, another
acquaintance came in and all drank
again and again result our friend
went home drunk. To us he eX-
pressed his shame and regret. We
advised him as best we could. Of
course HE is to answer for HI
OWN sin. but what will come to his
friend who placed the temptation
before him and caused mortiiica-
ton to the wife and children {!
Such mistaken friendship or socia-
hility has gotten into trouble and
sin many men who have desired to
lead sober and worthy lives. Such
sociability will bring serious con
sequences to those who think they
are showing kindness. Am |
my brothers keeper :" Yes, yes.
and if lead him to drunkard's
sorrow, grave and hell | will be
held responsible. Oh, what JOY
would come if all men would rec
ognize their debt of love to their
fellow men. Love brings no evil.
Ii we wished to be sociable we
would never invite a man into IA
saloon. He accepted and fell.
We hope this recital of fact will
reach the man who invited our
friend into IA saloon. 1t may if the
editors of the Sun-Sentinel and
Winchester Democrat copy it.

ACQUITTED.

Judge James Hargis' acquittal
was a surprise not only to us. but
to many people of the State who
had studied the case and kept up
with the trial. The jury was from
Scott county and had been present
ed with the facts and the law after
having been sworn in the presence
of God and man.

be in political affairs. If a man

In LOUISVILLE Unefe we're ITTegu-
larities and frauds, resulting in
litigation leading up to the Court
of Appeals. where the case was
decided. The high court of Ken
lucky, composed largely of Demo
Gratis. rendered an opinion declar-
| ing the election void and authOriz-
ing Governor Beckham to appoint
the successors of the present in
cumbents. Only one Republican
is on the bench: he being so near a
Democrat, so near being strictly
orthodox. we seldom think of him
in class of Republican political
theorists. of centralizatiOnists. BY
no means is he partisan. When
we speak of body by name we do
not mean to exclude any member
of it or to exhibit a partisan spirit
but only to speak of that body ac-
cording to its ma ority. For in
stance, the Court of Appeals, po-
IiticaIly speaking, is Democratic,
because a majority of that body
was nominated and elected by that
party: by no means do such cOndi-
tons make that law constituting
body partisan. This case, bearing
the stigma of fraud and corrup-
ton. wars therefore considered by
"A Democratic court: its partici-
pants were rebuked by the Court
and the opinion was handed down
by Democratic member, Judge
Lassing. These statements do not
preclude participation by Repub-
lican Judge. Judge O'Rear voted
with the Democrats. This case
having been settled it now remains
for the Governor to make such
appointments as will yield the
most heneiicent results. We do
not speak authoritatively, but of
our own volition, when we say the
moral people of kentucky will
have reason to say a greater man
than the Missouri Folk has risen
in Kentucky. Corruption among
Democrats, Fusionists and Rcpub-
licanS is corrected by Democratic
Court. We spank our own chill
dren when they are bad. Louis
vile politicians have been doing
wrong and it is hoped this chas-
tisement may teach them lesson.

WILL TAKE HIS MEDICINE

A committee of the Louisville
City Council requested Mayor
Barth to resign so that they could
elect his successor-thus thwarting
action of Court of Appeals in
declaring his Office vacant. He
emphaticall.y refused to accept and
said he would take his medicine.
This is wise and honorable.

CLEAN POLITICS.

facts and tendencies of our civil
zation is the Capitalization of
population in cities. AS we depart
from the freedom, simplicity and
quiet of village and country life
we often enter the paths or shame,
greed. deceit, vice and corruption.
Our great cities, although they
contain many excellent men, are
regarded as the storm centers, hot
beds of whatever vitiates and de-
bases manhood. Although thou
sands and even hundreds of thou
sands of people are brought into
narrow confines. yet the Opportu-
mites for keeping secret their
shortcomings are multiplied. Els
Gaping detection, men 90 from
vice to vice, fraud to fraud, until,
emboldened by their very crimes,
they forget God, bid defiance to
law and trample under foot the
most sacred rights and privileges
of their fellow men. Louisville,
the metropolis of our own beloved
state, though not sinner above
all cities, has for some years made
for herself an unenviablc record.
especially in affairs civic or polit
icaI.
Prior to the election in 1905 for
city and county Offices, the dissat-
isfactiOn and protests of men who
cherished high ideals had been UNI
needed. So strong had grown the
feeling against bossism, force and
fraud characteristic of the Demo-
cratic administration. that revolt
occurred. The professionals formed
a Fusion ticket, comprising many
of the city's best citizens, to OPP
pose the regular Democratic or
ganization then in control.
In this election the Democratic
ticket by the use of force, fraud,
bribery. theft and every device
known to corrupt politicians was
declared elected and entered upon
the duties of office. dishonOred. A
contest was instituted: the courts
of Louisville and Jefferson county
decided against the Fusion con-
testants: an appeal was taken to
the Court of Appeals; the facts
were thoroughly brought out; that
tribunal, the highest in our state,
Democratic in personel, declared
by vote of to 2 that the election
was null and void because of the
elements entering into it.
After the expiration of about
thirty days all the offices in Louis
vile and jefferson county except
those of Circuit Judges and Mag
istrates will be declared vacant.
These vacancies will be filled ac-
cording to laws.
The facts brought out by this In
vestigatiOn are enough to bring
deep regret to every man who
loves his country. her institutions
and laws. All should rejoice over
the prospect that bossism. thugs,
robbery and scandal of various
kinds in connection with elections
has received a severe rebuke. Let
us cherish the hope that not only
Louisville and Jefferson county
but every city and county in Ken
lucky will, by reason of this ex-
posture by our highest court, take
warning and enter upon crusade
for clean politics, an essential if
our republic is to stand. The pa
triotic, self respecting, God fear
ing man, be he officer, politician
or only a voter, will take warning,
submit to the decision and strive
for higher ideals set forth in acts.

The death list will be heavy and is esti-
mated at between thirty and fifty The

points along the Harlem division. Many
Mount Vernon residents were also on board.

were killed.
The third rail was torn up and protruded
through the side of one of the wrecked

Amended Davis Bill.
The amended Davis bill. to which refer
ence has been made previously in The Star,
provides for "a temporary addition to the
compensation of the civil employees Of the
government" and makes allowance for
those government servants whose compen-
sation is affected by the increase In the
post Office appropriation bill. The new bill
provides that every civil employee Of the
government whose compensation does not
exceed $500 year "and has not been or
shall not be otherwise increased during
this Congress" shall be paid 20 per cent
over and above the total compensation paid
to such employe during 1907, one-half pay
able June 80 and the balance December 81.
In all other respects the hill Is similar to
the original salary increase measure in
troduced by Mr.. Davis.
Representative Payne Of New York, floor
leader OF the House republicans and Repre-
sentative Littauer Of New York, who, in
the absence Of Representative Bingham of
Pennsylvania, Is the ranking member of
the legislative subcommittee on the House
committee on appropriations, have both
been quoted as saying that there would be
no general increase this session, as there
was not time to properly consider the SUBJ
ject, involving as 1t does the expenditure of
a large sum Of money and affecting thous-
ands of government employees. Mr.. Payne's
statement was dignf1ed and held out some
hope that action might be had during the
first session of the sixtieth Congress. On
tauer. to whose efforts the recent increase
in salary of members of Congress is largely
due, denounced In no mild terms the Davis
bill and similar general increase measures
as rank" and idiotic'' Mr. Davis has
taken exception to the characterization OF
his bill as 'rank' and to a Star reporter
he yesterday aired some of his views con-
corning his measure and Mr.. Littauer's
criticism of 1t.
