recently purchased an interest in the

property that they went. They re-
port everything above expectations
and are highly pleased with their in

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENEMENT

The late session of the Legislature
voted to submit at the coming No
vember Lotion TO the people of Ken
lucky a Constitutional Amendment af-
fecting the qualification OF voters. The
scheme Is another aid TO debauching
elections, by requiring a tax receipt,
which must be issued sixty days be-
fore the day of election. or course
the man who is willing to sell his
vote, or his right to vote, can simply
dispose of his tax receipt This ar
rangement, which is in force in Tenn
essee and other Southern States, is
known to open wide field for cor
ruption. For this reason, we are OPP
posed to it. We are opposed to it on
another ground, however. 1t is a slap
at the poor man. What right have
we to disfranchise man simply be-
cause he may have had misfortune, and
is thereby unable to pay taxes? The
man may have fought, in his young
manhood, to preserve his country and
its honor. He may have paid hun
dreds or thousands of dollars in tax
es in other prosperous days, but now
he is to be denied voice in the gov
eminent which he fought to main
tain. 1t is a vicious, unfair PROPOSE
ton and should meet with overwhel-
ming defeat.
This scheme was submitted by
Democratic Legislature, which would
no doubt, have enacted it into Law
without that formality had it beer
/ in its power.

HOPE FOR NEW ERA UNDER RE-
PUBLICAN RULE.
James Hargis is at last free from
the menace OF the criminal courts,
and may now return with an easy
mind-we say nothing of hypothe-
teal conscience--to his work on the
Democratic State Executive Committee
A man so expert in the devising of
plots ought to be invaluable to that
organization. TheI -farcial end of his
trial comes just in time for the APP
preaching campaign.
Seriously, WEI feel too mentally sick
of the whole horrible story that has
reached travesty of justice that has
characterized it, to do otherwise than
dismiss it in few words. The stain
of cowardly assassination must remain
upon the soil OF Kentucky. Time may
obliterate it from memory but mean
while the abortive efforts Of justice
to avenge the; blood. OF the murdered
have accomplished nothing for the
State, but discreditable notoriety.

MURDER UNAvENGED

Judge James Hargis has been freed

ding against him. Twice his acquit-
tai resulted after long drawn-out tri-
ais, while in the last case the trial
Judge instructed the jury to find him
Mt guilty after the prosecuting at
torneys had stated to the court that
they intended to withdraw from the
case, because certain important wit
nesses for the commonwealth could
not be secured.
1t seems to the layman that this
case of all the Breathitt murder cases
should have been tried and thorough
ly sifted, and IL IL had been found i'm
impossible to convict James Hargis,

NO WORSE GOVERNED STATE

The failure to convict Jim Hargis
in the various sham trials which he
has had, may be laid at no other door
than that of the Executive mansion
at Frankfort. Governor Beckham has
appointed every special Judge, and
the result of each effort might have
been surmised by his selection in each
case The Courier-Journal shows its
disgust in the following language:
The outcome of the trial of Jim
Hargis at Sandy Hook ended as was
expected. In this. out-ofway hole in
the hills there was every conceivable
circumstance against an effective prose
cution. Witnesses were absent and
Inaccessible, means of communication
and transportation were such as 10
cause every degree and kind of delay
the attorneys for the Commonwealth
were put in the attitude OF fighting for
a tchange of scene back To Breathitt
county or see the case terminate a
farce. They fought for the change. for
postponement. They were overHuled.
That settled the chances for convic-
ton. AS matter of form the Judge
gave directions for the acquittal of Har-
gis. The jury obeyed The comedy
was over. And again is illustrated
the fact there is no worse governed
State in the Union than Kentucky"

CHINESE AS SOLDIERS.
Experience of an English Officer Who
 Drilled and Trained Them.

One of the greatest assets pos
 sessed by Chinese as soldiers is in
 their marching power; another is l their ability to manage with the
 smallest amount of transport, owing
 to the hardly outdoor life and climate
 to which they are accustomed, and
 to the fact that they live almost en- tfrely on rice, writes Mayor c. D.
 Bruce in the United Service Maga- zine. Two other points in their favor
 are that they have no cast preju- dices and have already learned the virtue of discipline before they enlist. Drunkenness Is practically unknown among them, but they have the na- tional failings of gambling and opium smoking.
 My own experience leads me to class most native soldiers as grownup chil- dren, and perhaps the most childlike is the Chinamen. All the traits which have to be studied in dealing with children are so many keys to open the door to understanding their nature. Most amenable to kindness. he is at times quite capable to talk ing advantage of it.
 Firmness he not only appreciates but prefers; that is, once he realizes as boys say, that it is no use to "try
 on." Above all, he admlres and will do anything for those whom he re- alizes are trying invariably to be just to him. Whether gratitude is to be set down as characteristic opin- ions may differ.
 My own is that he has it and would exhibit it more often did not the hidebound conventions by which Chinese unwritten law surrounds him make 1t sometimes nearly inn possible. Whatever feelings may re- main in the hearts of those whose fate 1t was to go through the unique experience of serving his gracious as soldiers in the late Chinese Regiment of Infantry, I feel that I am on sure ground in saying that the memories of those who trained them will long retain the happiest recol- lections. of the trials through which and men passed together.

EAGLE HALL VAUDEVILLE.

An improvement is made in the bill every week at the Auditorium, and the program which is offered for this week certainly looks at its best. All the artists are high notchers and should score heavily during their stay at the new theater. Miss Ethel
 Kelly, marvellous dancer, who is one of the best at this kind of work,
 now doing variety, has one of the pleasing acts which is always we'll received. Musical Shirley, who makes his second trip here this sea- son, has high classed musical act, introducing many novel musical fea- lures. The Thompson sisters, sing CTS and dancers, have pleased in all the big variety houses this season. They render all the latest selections and have the dancing act which is always popular. Peyser X McDon- aid, acrobats, are considered one of the best acrobatic teams in vaude- vile and introduce several stunts which have never been attempted by any other acrobatic team. The act is one which will command the at tention of any audience from start to finish. Al Wilson, colored com edian, sings popular songs, dances in the usual darkey style. Miss Minnie Sullivan sings all the latest illus trated songs, and the motion pictures are all new. Prices are, matinee and 10 cents; evenings 5, 10 and 20 cents.
