WHERE WE ARE AT"

The Sun-Sentinel is not the or
gan of any party, sect or class.
We believe in home rule, free
from outside influences.
If the people of Winchester and
Clark county say they want no IL
censed saloons we say Amen '.
We are opposed to liquor traffic
and always have been.
If it is proposed to have a local
option election in this city and
county. let it be done in decency
and in order. Let the arguments
be upon a high plane of reason
and common sense. q We want all
evils abolished. but the remedy
must come from within, not from
the outside. Communications
bearing on the license question
will be published at our regular
rates. ten cents per line. At that
rate the Editor reserves the right
to pass on all communications. -
Sun-Sentinel.
The writer was in Winchester on
January l and chatted with Mr..
Perry. the editor. When our eye
fell on: I'VE Are Opposed to the
Liquor Traffic and Always Have
Been" we thought of what Mrs.
Carrie Nation said when the writer
was introduced rs an editor inter
ested in temperance. At once she
said Tin a tone indicating now |
have you) do you take whiskey
ads 4" We answered: No. Then
she presented a souvenir Ratchet
and placed her hand upon my
shoulder.
so we examined the Sun-Senti-
mel and found NO saloon advertise
ment. If any saloonist has applied
and Perry has said no" we say:
Hurrah for PERI,
We also notice that he charges
10c per line.
For over IL years we have been
combating the traffic and have
never received any money compen-
sation. except for space during
our Mt. Sterling local option cam
paign.
We expect to help put KEN
ruCKY in the dry list.
We will in our way help Perry
dispose of the stuff.

Alas. Alas.
A CHIEF OF POLICE who drinks.
Perhaps voters and councilmen
will learn after awhile the impor-
lance of putting only sober men
on the police force. The town
wanted revenue and licensed the
saloons. Such deeds of violence,
while not necessarily resulting
from the license system, often
occur.
Beattyville and Lee county are
reaping what they sowed: but we
are Glad TO know that Lee county
including Beattyville, has voted
out saloons and on expiration of
present license these places will be
closed-thus removing SOME of the
temptation to do wrong.

TWO MEN KILLED.

'Beattyville, KY, Jan. Joe
Davidson. Chief of Police of
Beattyville. and Robert Evans, a
merchant of this place, shot each
other to death in Evans store last
evening. They were on speaking
terms. but had a grudge.
Carter D. Stamper, in Evans
store at the time. was the only
witness, and he says that Davidson,
who was drinking, came into
Evans store and asked Evans if
he was his friend, and Evans said:
Joe. you know / have nothing
against YOU" and requested him
to 90 home, as he desired to close
his store and go home with his
little boy. who was waiting on the
street for him.
Davidson then remarked: Il
would rather drink my enemy's
blood than to hurt my friends
feelings" ,
By this time Evans was near the
front door and said. II must go,
and put his hand into his front
pocket, it is thought, for his store
key.
Then Davidson said: Take
your hand out of your pocket. "

vile in resisting the reasonable
$500 saloons ordinance and the
general conduct of the Louisville
liquor men. during the last ter
years seems a policy of suicide
If they halliday by day accepted
guidance from the Prohibitionists
they could not have acted in way
more calculated Ito bring prohibi-
ton.
Going back no further than
1905. the record shows that a sa-
loon. half barroom and half bawdy
house. arraigned Louisville
newspaper in the Criminal Court
under indictments dragged from
the grand jury to make plain the
fact that any newspaper or lndl-
vidual who dared to antagonize the
saloons interests would be punish
ed through the influence the sa-
looms possessed in politics. and
through politics over the courts.
That same year a municipal elec-
ton was held in Louisville upon
the plain issue of honesty in cleo
tionS. The saloonkeeperS and the
hangers-on of the saloonkeepers
went in large numbers with the
election thieves. From 800 Louis
vile saloons repeaters were regis
tered: >aloonkeepers and barteud-
els acted a. Democratic election
officers in the crooked precincts;
alphabetical elections were held in
the rear of saloons.
Then came Sunday closing. des-
perately resisted by the SALOON ell
ement. Then a large element of
the Louisville saloon-keepers fol-
lowed Mr.. Billy Boardman in an
attempt to carry last months cleo
ton for Owen Tyler on a platform
of defiance of law in favor of the
saloons.
Mr.. Tyler was defeated and the
saloons were again routed. Lately
il has been proposed to make Il
reasonable and Just increase in the
amount of saloon licenses, and the
saloons and breweries have again
thrown themselves into the fight
TO dictate terms to the people of
Louisville.
All this i done just before the
converting of a Legislature already
iafamed against the liquor ele-
enent. Certainly if prohibition
does come in Kentucky it will be
traceable. just as it was in Geor-
gia. to the blind folly of the liquor
dealers themselves.
The Evening Post sees in the sa-
loon business two antagonistic in
fiuences. On one side are the sa-
looms that prefer to obey the laws
and build up business by fair
methods. keeping out of politics.
On the other side are the saloons
that plunge int politics, to do the
dirty work of the dirtiest polite
ians: saloons that make money by
harboring gamblers and thieves
and defying the police, protected
by political supporters.
1t is not clear which element is
to control the various organiza-
tons of the liquor trade. We
hear many professions of a change
of policy, but we are watching for
some evidence of that change ex-
pressed in action. Evening Post,
