WILSON'S WISE WORDS.

That the people of Kentucky did
not misplace their confidence was
Down last week when Gov. Augustus
Wilson, addressing an assemblage
tobacco buyers and growers, gave
tcrance to the following:
"The Governor has no choice, he
ust see that the law is obeyed. He
ust obey like the soldier. called
his conference because situation
listed in the State, not a theory.
body of masked, armed men in a
ich county, destroyed property and
fife. L invited no lawbreakers to this
conference. The law of 100000
people can not be resisted. 1t must
be obeyed whether violated by five
hundred, five thousand or fifty
thousand men. The law must be en-
forced by the sentiment of the peo-
pie. 1 believe the people will stand
for the law. When the people be-
come convinced that all is lost unless
the law is enforced, then the juries
will indict and convict"
Kentucky has long needed a Chief
Executive of this calibre, and those
who have been thrown in contact
with Gov. Wilson for any length of
time will readily understand that he
means what he says, that he stands
for the enforcement of the law, for
the maintenance of order.

ALMOST LEAP YEAR.

Has it occurred to you that the
year about to dawn is leap year?
This year Christmas was on Wednes-
Nay next year it will fall on Friday.
Children born on February 90. 1908,
will have to do without a birthday
for four years. Leap year ordinarily
comes every four years and gets its
name from the fact that because
February takes on twenty-nine days
succeeding feasts jump one day out
lof the ordinary calendar. The
Christian world bases its calcula-
tions as to time upon the Gregorian
calendar. A year is something more
than 365 days and six hours, so that
every four years it becomes neces-
sary to add a day to the year. The
leap years missed one in 1900, so
that there were only twenty-eight
days in February from 1896 to 1904.
Leap year is commonly supposed to
give the girls a chance to propose
matrimony to the young men. Maid
emily maidens would rather wait a
year than risk having the young man
say: ''I'll be a brother to you"

DESERVED TRIBUTE
Paid Mrs. Mary Ryan by
Vicar General James
Cronin.

! Holy Cross church, on West Broad
way, was crowded Tuesday morning
by those who chose to do honor to
the mortal remains of Mrs Mary
Ryan, who died at her home, 1902
West Kentucky street, Sunday morn
ing. The attendance was a deserved
tribute of respect to a loved ana
lovable Irish mother.
The requiem mass was celebrated
by the pastor, Rev. Father John
Sheridan, and the sermon was
preached by the Very Rev. Father
James p. Cronin, Vicar General Of
the diocese. Father Cronin called
attention to the good works that
Mrs. Ryan had performed as a mem
Der of st. Patrick's congrega ion tor
more than a quarter of a century
and held her as an example to the
Catholic women of Louisville.
Mrs. Ryan is survived by her hus-
band, Peter Ryan, and by her son,
Mark Ryan, a popular deputy in the
Circuit Clerks office. Mark RYAN
was an acolyte at st. Patrick's
church twenty-five years ago, when
Father Sheridan made his advent to
Louisville.

MALE DOMESTICS.
Eastern Housekeepers Are
Tired of the Feminine
Variety.

Male hired girls"-the expression
sounds paradoxical, does it not? Yet
the ladies of the Eastern States are
pleased with the new brand OF
domestics. 1t may not be long before
the ladies of our own dear Kentucky
may soon begin to sing:
Oh, It's Pat, please wash the dishes, -
! And "AlphOnse, make up the bed"
Since the ladies' took mems places.
And the men their jobs instead,
Mary Ann will drive the horses,
Husky James viii smooth the
! spread,
Since the ladies took our places,
And we took their jobs instead.
John, when you get those potatoes
peeled, you can take the afternoon
off," said Mrs. Dresenwall.

kitchen last night
And, according to Mrs. L. b.
Dresenwall John and James make
better hired girls" than any serv-
ants she has ever had. and all for
fifty cents a day.
They're much superior to women. :"
she confided 10 a reporter for the
World yesterday. "They never wear
my hats on their day off nor try on
my dresses. Neither do they enter
tain policemen in the kitchen. OF

II have only men to do the work
in my seventeen boarding houses,

easy to me as one of Joe Miller's

Men have their limitations in certain
ways as hired girls. but their advan-
tages outweigh them entirely.
"They do mot talk back nor

the grocer boy can take an order for
a pound of Oolong in less than four

THE GUILD HIGH HAT.

o! We needn't be so sly,
All We lads, when / go by,
Wild your winkin' o. the eye
An your smirlin' an all that.
Shure, I'm wise enough to see
That the cause of all your glee
is the ancient cut o. me
An me ould high hat.
Arrahl lads must have their play,
So I've not a word to say;
It's mesef that vance was gay
AS the gayest wan o. you.
Shure, there wasn't NANNY men
That would joke about me then,
When me blood was young an when
This ould hat was new.
1t was wild me an me bride
When he'blessid knot was tied;
An it followed, when she died,
Where they soon will lay me, too.
1t has served me all these years,
Shared me laughter and ME tears,
AS it's sharin' now the jeers
o. the likes o. you.
Now we're worn an ould an sick,
But there's JOY to think, avic,
That We niver held a brick,
An there's some that can't say
that.
So they needn't be so sly
When they smile an cock their eye.
All thim lads, when We go bg,
You an me, ould hat.

to assume his new duties Father
Logan has been Prior of the
Dominican convent here during the
past two years and previous to that
term served two terms in the same
capacity. His second term was per-
mitted only by special dispensations
Only one or two priests have been
thus honored by the Dominican
fathers in this city.
The people of st. Louis Bertrand's
church are plunged in grief over the
approaching departure of their chief
spiritual adviser. Father Logan is
"a born leader of men, and during
his residence here has done a won
,derful work in reducing the debt,
identifying the church, improving
the school and fitting the hall for
meetings of church societies.
Father Logan's appointment was
made by the Very Rev. Provincial,
Father Kearney, o. p. OF course he
would prefer to remain in Louisville,
but takes his transfer with very
good grace. All classes of society in
Louisville know and respect him.
Early in the present year a mission
was given by the Dominicans at st.
Louis Bertrand's church and Father
Logan visited all the saloons within
the radius of a mile of the church
and persuaded the proprietors to
keep their doors closed during the
hours that the mission was in prog
ress each evening. Non-Oatholics as
well as Catholics agreed to Father
Logan's proposition and kept it. In
leaving Louisville he will carry with
him the best wishes of thousands
who recognize his ability, his energy
and power for good in the com
munity.

States Senatorial plum. Meanwhile
former Senator'S Lindsay and Black

city, Congressman Ollie James of
Marion, Senator James b. McCreary
and Hon. Ben johnson of Bardstown

Kentucky wants a new man she
could go farther and fare worse If
Ben johnson were chosen. He is
capable, honest, fearless and above
all young enough to represent the
Commonwealth as It should be repre-
scented in the upper house of
Congress.

Il railroads, so must there be reform
the management and operation of
hines and factories, on electric as

reform can not be brought about in
a day, nor perhaps in year, but it
behooves every community to take
some step in the right direction as
soon as possible.
Right here in Louisville the General
Council can help matters immensely
If it will enact an ordinance requir-

to pass thorough examination. The

ought to be able to pass creditable
