THE CRIMINAL REGISTRATION LAW.

Last week every good voter in the and cities
of Kentucky registered. Under the law which is
of the things the Democratic ring depends to keep
power against the will of the people, he got from the
registration officer certificate which gives him right
vote This arrangement is made not to benefit the
Democratic party, but the ring, which controls it.
One of the most necessary laws in free country is
the which prevents mans selling his vote. If
not for this law who once got a chance to
steal ronthe people could buy up votes with the stolen
money and keep himself IN power. his does not
mean that the majority OF would sell their votes but
that it takes very few to decide contest either way
only when the two sides are about evenly divided
The Kentucky law provides penalty for selling
your vote, but the who passed the registration law
took pains leave without any penalty for the selling
of the registration certificate which gives anyone right
to vote. This that the democratic ring they
were the people who passed the law, and they surely
passed it for their benet-could buy up the
of ignorant people, largely black without riskng any
punishment for It, They knew what they were doing
for honest who happened to be in the senate when
the law passed told them that they were making an
arrangement that would encourage the crime of vote
buying and begged them to stop It, and they laughed
at them. They speaking for the people that
time and it the people that the ring laughed at And
the people you and your friends and your neghbors
The question is whether the man who voted for
a law make crime easy shall profit by the crime they
have encouraged or whether there are enough honest
men in the state enough men who would rather lose
honestly than win by thet-to defeat them. Some
honest men get so twisted by the heat of a political
campaign that they to think that anything, fair
or foul which hurts the other side is all right
Such men manage to approve the persecution OF an
innocent man for political purposes, and such
Will for who have helped commit the worst
of all crimes against American lberty-who have
helped make the of great state byword.
But men who straight even in politics
will that crime is crime, when committed
for their side and will know that it will do party
good in the end TO be known as led by criminals.
and they will turn in with the who politically
opposed to The present administration, and drive the
crime makers out of office

alton and his own practical experience
in office fit him in a peculiar way for
an able discussion Of the issues. His
speeches have been mastery contribu-
lions TO the campaign They have not
only morcilessly exposed the inflated
claims OF Beckham and Hager for the
virtues of therr administration. but
they have demonstrated the fallacy of

against his own regime.
His popularity is undiminished. The

flied support of Mr.. Wilson and all

a most valuable asset at this time.

this spot the monument was erected.
The monument is Of marble and
bears the names Of all the leading
spirits in the settlement az that place.
The site of IN old fort is now a
cornfield surrounded on the north and
east by the Kentucky river and an the
south and west by gently rising hills
a place admirably adapted to defense
against the savage in those early days.
Nothing OF the old fort remains 70
mark its site except the spring where
the women were sent to get water du-
ring the memorable siege of the fort
by the Indians. and the ferry boat
built by Daniel Boone and Richard
Galloway.
An interesting and instructive pro-
gram was rendered consisting Of band
music and patriotic addresses by Col
onel Caperton, United States Senator
McCreary and others. Also, there
were exhibited relics OF the fort: scis-
sors, sugar-bowl. chair, powder-horn,
etc.

Guilty. Speaks at Cairo,
H.

In reversing the decision OF the
Boyle Circuit Court, filming the CinciR-

Railway Company for transporting
liquor into a local option territory, the
Court OF Appeals held that II was not
within the province OF the State TO
regulate or control interstate com

been shipped from Cincinnati. The
court adds that the fact that the
liquor In question was brought from
Kentucky to Cincinnati by the con-
