TEMPERANCE ISSUE.

Kentucky Democrats appear to
have been surfeited with the
temperance issue. Since the
election any number of party
eaders have been asked as to
their opinion relative to the act
ion of the coming Legislature on
any temperance measure which
may be introduced. Every one
of them, without exception, has
taken the position that the county
unit law now Onthe books should
answer all demands Of the tenn
perance people, and that there
will be no development or am
plifcation of the present law. In
addition to this, any number of
Democrats feel that the party
was mistreated by some of the
temperance people, and by some
of the officers of the Anti-Saloon
League. The Democrats ma Ike
the claim that the only legislation
that the Anti-Saloon League was
able to secure was given them
by the Democratic Legislature,
and they.charge that during the
last days of the recent State
campaign several of the officers
of the Anti-Saloon League and
other advocates of temperance
came out boldly for he Republi-
can ticket, instead of standing
by the Democrats who had helped
them. Therefore, it is not
expected that there will be any
more temperance legislation en-
acted at Frankfort this winter.

OUR MOTHER.

On the 23rd day of August,
1907, death visited our home and
took from us our dear mother,
Mrs. w. N. Smith She was born
Nov. 2, 1847, and at the age of
eighteen united with the Chris
tian church in which she lived a
consistent member until her
death.
During the eleven years of her
illness, often when she would
sink under her sore affection and
death seemed to be at hand, she
would say II an not afraid to
die; l an ready to CO." She was
ever ready to give good advice to
her children and to speak a kind
word to all about her.
On the 18th day of December,
1865, she and father were united
in marriage and to this union
were given eight children-si six
girls and two boys all living ex-
cept Mary, who preceded moth
er to the grave, eight years ago.
She leaves.a mother, husband,
seven children and a host of
friends and relatives to mourn
her death. When the end came
all her chsldren, except Mrs. C.
S. Moore, of Louisville, were at
her bedside.
May Heavens purest blessings
rest on our dear father, who was
so kind, patient, and attentive to
her during her long illness.
Many days has our dear mother, in the
quiet graveyard lain
But the memory of her counsels DER
our path light has shed,
Daily calling us to Heaven even from
our tundlebed.

Mr.. Archbold's statement follows:
.'on Saturday, August Sd. Judge

ION Monday, August 9Th. Commis-

This remarkable report OF Mr.. Smith
marks another coincidence in the ut

of the government in their attacks on
us that have occurred so frequently
as to rob them of even the appearance
of being accidental. In connection
with its publication it may not be
amiss to remind the public that the act

provides that such reports shall be
made to the President for the purpose
of guiding him In framing suggestions
as to legislation. and that they may
be made public In whole or In part
only In tue discretion Of the President.
1t is sufficient now for us to say that
in the preparation of his report Mr..
Smith did not sec fit even to confer

ugrec that we are at least entitled
to be hoard in such a matter. If Mr..

we would have readily furnished him
