Mr.. Davis was not in his saloon at
the time the liquor is alleged to have
been sold TO young Stone. A young
man named O'Conner was behind the
bar at the time, and claims Stone told
him he was of age. In consideration
of O'Conner being a comparative
stranger to the boys, Davis friends
believe he is entitled to some mitiga-
tion for the offense,
On the other hand, the men who are
prosecuting the case, say they will be
satisfied with nothing but the revoca-
tion of Davis saloon license, citing
that ordinance No. 104, which empow

Correspondence--Th annual oratori-
cal contest of the College was held

The State is Watching Louisville.

The political situation in Louis
vile has never attracted the atten-
ton of the State as it does today.
The public understands now
what contest has been carried on
here for years with the foes of
good government. The action of
the Court of Appeals has been APP
proved. The course of the Gov
ernor is applauded not merely by
Democrats, but by the people at
large.
Now Louisville itself is watched
to see whether our people are ca
pable of self-gOvernment. Party
capital can be made under these
conditions only by the highest
public service. If the Louisville
Democrats should betray the cause
of good government their influence
in party councils would be gone.
Should the Republicans subordi-
nate the cause of good government
to party necessities. real or imag-

IhdnkfulneSS.

There was once man who was
very fond of flowers, and was able
to have a garden as beautiful as he
wanted it to be. 1t soon bloomed
gloriously. But he planted high
wall all about his garden, and the
neighbors and passers-by never
knew what loveliness bloomed
within. Poor people and sick
people an d discouraged people
passed that way and would have
been helped by the beauty and
splendOr of the flower garden if
there had been no wall around it.
SO there are men and women who
have a garden of beautiful
thoughts in their hearts which are
the outcome of beautiful experien-
ces: but they have built a high
wall of silence and reserve around
themselves, and the men and
women who would be helped by
the testimony and by the helpful
telling of experience 90 on their
way uncheered and unhelped.
What we have of experience is for
our brother, and when we sing the
new song which the Lord hath
given us many shall see it, and
shall trust in the Lord. "-Selected.
