The Kiowa Journal is just a triae M
consistent.It makes the point that because
kiowa republicans have no representa-
tive on the general county ticket, every
citizen in kiowa should vote for Luther

to party lines. YET in the same issue
is almost a column Of reading matter
urging Kiowa people to vote for r. S.
Crane Of this city. republican candidate
for clerk Of the district court.and against
w. B. Clarkson. the democratic candi-
date for that Office. who is an honored
citizen Of Kowa. 1t has always been

cations to support Clarkscn.

1t is hard luck to be forced into a
political party against ones desire but
strange things often come to pass in poll
dcs. This applies particularly to Judge
w. H. McCague's case. Judge Nc
Cague is the independent candidate for
representative in this county. and under
ruling Of the secretary Of state his
name will be printed under the names
Of the candidates on Hearst's Ind epend-
ence League ticket. Now If there j.
man on earth that Judge McCague
does not Ike it is Bill Hearst and the
idea Of being compelled to bear the
Hearst label is certainly the limit.

job on Thos. Best new house in the
city and the work presents many new
ideas and demonstrations Of artistic work
that can be done with the howel. In
the construction Of this magnificent resi-
dence cement and gypsum have been
used very extensively. The outside oi
the house is constructed with portland
cement over expanded metal lathing and
the inside plastering is gypsum. sanded
properly inside and outside where paint
ing is intended. The bath room is tiled
with gypsum and is in imitation marble
and appears. in fact. to be genuine marble
at ordinary inspection. Probably the
most picturesque and novel departure i.
the manner Of construction Of the large
porch columns. They are also in con-
crete and are made to resemble pebbled
ash. There is probably not another
house built IN anything like this mannel
within radius Of 100 miles. To be

being an ornament to the city, it is a

In speaking Of the troubles In
D-rziiliss- isse Lszillss.;ss: Herald
says
Bat the SOURCE of ali of Breath
iu-s troubles Is an the failure to
enforce the law
The people. after al. are the
supreme power They are not
only tie law makers. but they
must al-e he in their daily lives
and conduct the supporters of the
law They m0s1 obey the law
and they must have the courage TO
use the power the Law cOnfers
upon them for It's enforcement.
They must fearlessly and faithfully
perform al Of tie duties of citizen
ship. including the duties OF wit
nesses in court and grand jurors
and petit jurors.
1t Is impossible to indict a whole
people, and it Is equally impossi
be to convict men guilty OF a vio-
lation OF the law when the whole
people either synpsthize with the
criminal or have not the courage
to stand for tie enforcement of
the law. The question of law and
oder In KentIcky- Is one to be
solved not 30 much by the officers
Of the law as by the people them
selves. Our system of criminal
Jurisprudence makes the public
and public sentiment the most
powerful factors in maintaining
order. and what has been true of
Breathitt county Id a more strik-
ing degree is likewise true OF al
most every community in the State.
