VOTERS RESPONSIBLE FOR POLITICAL GRAFT.
By II. C.. LOudensIagef

We will never have really pure politics In
America until we devise some means for COM
polling voters to perform their duties. At the
present time the percentage Of men who shirk
their responsibility, particularly at the pri-
maries, is enormous The result is that the
political game in America is played too often
only by an inferior class Of citizens, who could
easily be outvoted by good men. These de-

A GOOD HUSBANDS HARD LOT.

Sometimes, 1t seems to me, that worn and
worried wives and mothers forget, or at least
neglect to remember, that good husbands bear
their equal half of the burden. woman who
runs a house and cares for children has no

has to find every cent to pay for it all has no
easy snap of it, either. woman's work is

Long Wait For Deposit0rs.

The Owensboro Messenger says:
There is no probability of an early
distribution to depositors of the as
sets of the Daviess County Bank and

Neither Assignee F.. B. Anderson nor
Receiver Pedley can make dis;ribu-
tion of any part of the proceeds until
certain preliminary matters are de-
termined, and this cannot be done
until the October term of the Circuit
Court.
In the case of the Daviess County
Bank and Trust Company the princi-
pal obstacle is the question Of pref
erencc of holders Of mortage certi-
ficates. Judge Birkhead, of the Cir
cult Court, has handed down an op-
inion in the case, holding that mort
gage certificates Of deposit are not
entitled to preference, and that all

order to this effect entered, and the
present status of the case does NO
admit of an appeal. The order will

In the case of the greensboro Saw
