WILL ADVOCATE TEMPER.
ANCE LAWS.

Prof. j. j. Rucker, of George
town, last week called on Governor
Wilson in behalf of Temperance
legislation. IT'S said the Cover
nor will recommend to the Legis-
lature the extension of the County
Unit Law, making it apply to ALL
counties alike, thus cutting out
the exceptions where cities of the
first, second, third and fourth
classes exist.
Some Democrats during the
campaign accused the Republican
candidate, now Governor Wilson,
of insincerity, as being a whiskey
man. We hope that his declara-
tons will be fully sustained, and
that his influence will be for very
emphatic temperance laws.
Lieut.. Gov. Cox was during the
last Legislature jealous sup
porter of temperance measures.
As president of the Senate he will
no doubt show the same devotion
to the cause so dear to many
thousands of Democrats and Re-
publicans.

DOOMED.

The whiskey people of Ken
lucky had Just as well begin to
prepare for the inevitable. Their
diabolical business is doomed.
They have blighted our State, sent
tens of thousands of citizens to
drunkar's hell, broken the hearts
OF countless women, and robbed
thousands of helpless children OF
their necessary bread. They have
shown no mercy. Down with the
traffic. The foundations of every
whiskey house in Kentucky is laid
in the blood of its human victims.
The Ky. Issue.
The people of Kentucky know
what the previous Legislatures
have done in restricting the liquor
trade and they know the promises
and declarations and platform ut
terances during the last campaign.
Every temperance advocate should
be encouraged with the outlook.

WISHES TO CATCH EDITORS

In IA recent issue of Beverages,
the liquor organ, the following ad
vice is given to the liquor dealers
of America: IT h G argument
which we desire to make prima.
rily is that if one-half of the
money spent now on outdoor pub.
lefty was diverted TO the newspa.
pers of the country, these organs
would not be arrayed against the
traffic as they are, and would in
general be disposed TO give it more
fair play"
An editor may sell his space for
advertising whiskev, without
claiming 10 be in sympathy with
the business; but the people would
have but little confidence in his
sincerity or purpose to advance
the cause of temperance. Each
editor must decide for himself.
We do not get revenue that way.

THINK ON THESE THINGS

We wish every man, young and
old, could have read the speech de-
livered on Dec. % by Chief JUS
tice Jno. NJ. Harlan in New York.
We present in this issue,.a an ex-
tract entitled: Honor to Justice
Harlan" In appealing to the
young men of Kentucky of all po-
litical parties well and truly does
he say: Forget the things that are
behind save only the noble deeds
of the mighty dead who gave Ken
lucky its large place in the early
history of the Nation"
o! that dark past of at least
nine years. We do not say that
the leading Democrats and Repub-
licans of 1899 to 1908 are sinners
ABOVE all men of the century, but
we do hope and pray that Ken
lucky will never again present to
the world such facts as have
brought to us shame and disgrace.
Young man-Democrat and Re-
publican, avoid even the appear
ance of evil. Be truthful, be hon
est, look not npon the wine when
it is red, line up for that which is

There is great awakening and

The Montgomery County Sun

auxiliary to the Kentucky Sunday
School Association, is just now
making an effort to arouse church
people in, our county to the i'm
portance of Bible study.
There are fifteen Bible Schools
in the county, with less thar seven
hundred and fifty men, women
and children in attendance. There
are more than thirty-two hundred
persons under twenty-one years of
age in the county. J BIZ, is a poor.
showing for the future of the.
church. There should be more.
Sunday Schools and more than.
two thousand young people en-
rolled in them, besides the adults.
The motto of each church should
be, Every Member of the Church
a Member of the Bible SCHOOL,
and all the children and as many
others as possible. This would
mean much personal work. But
the christian believes in personal.
work and will do it. May the,
christian men and women of this.
county enter heartily and prayer
fully into this good work till the
whole county shall be found in the,
Bible Schools of our churches.
The Magisterial Districts are
being organized and in conjunction
with the County Board of the As
