the machine press, are forgotten.
They must be relegated to the
tomb that contains the many ex-

henceforth Secretary Taft is to
be eulogized. 1t matters not
that the machine referred to Mr..
Taft as an imitation candidate;
neither does it matter that Mr..
Crawford's chief organ once de-
clared the "progressives" were
not for Taft; and under the ava
lanche Of nice things that are to
be said of Mr.. Taft in the

Ground-Hog Day.

A subscriber wants to know if
we can tell him the origin of
Ground Hog-Day. Its origin is
as fnllows: February second, or
Candlemas Day, was q faverite
hoilday, marked by public paiety.
AMI ceremonies in Europe during
the Middle Ages, 1t is still
marked there by the closing of
banks and offices, but not other
wise, outside of the reading of
church services. In the Church
Calendar it is known as tie:
Feast of Publication of the Vir-
gin, and was first instituted by
Pore Selgius, about the year 654
A. D. The populur name Of the
day is derived from the early
custom of lighting up the
chlrc les with candles and car
ryilg these in procession on this
festival AS to the weather su-
pers ii ion that gives to Candle
mas The name Of grounding
dty," that S a world wide fable.
In Germany 1T is the badger that
bAelks his winter nap on this
day to essay the thankless task
of weather prophecy; in France
and Switzerland it is the mar
mot, in En- gland the he lgeaoy.
Observation shows that no le Of
these smlll amin Ills d. thus OBJ
serve the date fixed, also that
the we; ther on this date does
not accurately foretell Il at Of
the follow np two months, as is
supposed. But it is a general
truth that in temperate latituGes,

be followed by a change and a

Big Parade
Robirson's Big
Circus Which Ex-
hibits Here Sept Fl

Features everything connected
with it, from the street parade to
the concert. The press of other
cities have only the most favorable
comment for Robinson's parade.
Even when the show visits territory
where it has never been, its magni-
ficent street pageant so agreeably
surprises the public that they are
sure to crowd the immense tents.
1t is in the parade that the man.
agement of a circus can show to
good advantage the stability and
character of the aggregation. If it
is a cheap concern, giving only ordi-
nary performances, its parade will
tell the tale. If is really meritor-
ious the street display will demon
strate the fact. The splendid equip
ment of the Robinson show is shown
to excellent advantage in the big
parade, and it is always compliment
ed. The horses are in fine trim,
and the tabeaux, wagons, dens, Gag
es, and chariots are resplendently
decorated with costly corvings, gilt
and uarnish, An unusually large
number of dens are open in parade
and the general public if given 9
free exhibition of a fine array Of
wild animals. All in all, it is pro
nounced by many the finest anc
best circus display ever seen upor
any streets. But it is in the circus
performance that the show excels.

WILL FILE SUIT
Said That Henry Bennett
Will Ask $780, 900 Damages.

Paducah, Sept. IA straight tip
has been given The Times correspon-
dent that the first Night Rider suit
to be filed in jefferson county will
have as it's plaintiff Henry Bennett,
who has taken up his residence eth
err at Jeffersonville, Ind., or New
Albany. Ind. The suit will be filed
in the Federal court at Louisville.
Bennett was numerically whip
ed few months ago by Night
Riders at Dycusburg, Crittenden
county. He and William Groves
were taken out and then beaten with
thorn switches. Over 100 tin y
thorns were taken out of Benefits
body later by a physician. Groves
was also badly punished and was in
a precarious condition for several
days. The old Bennett distillery
was burned the same night, along
with tobacco warehouse.
Repeated efforts have since been
made to assassinate Bennett, but he
was not at home when Night Riders
called. For several weeks he slept
in the woods at night. Death was
threatened him if he did not leave
that section Of the country. Be-
coming afraid to venture to his
home in daylight he asked for a
bodyguard of soldiers. They were
supplied, and everywhere Bennett
went two soldiers accompanied him.
To a Times correspondent he re-
Gently stated that he had been finan-
cially ruined. He said before the
Night Riders visited him that he was
making plenty Of money, but that
since that time he had scarcely earn
ed anything. He was a tobacco
buyer at Dycusburg and owned a
farm.
Judge James Campbell and City
Solicitor James Campbell, of this
city and the Hon, Wheeler Camp
bell, of Louisville, have seen engaged
to assist them. When Bennett is
ready the suit probably will be
drawn up by Wheeler Campbell.
The amount of damages sought will
not be less than $4,000.
1t was a jury from Jefferson and
Bullitt counties that gave Robert H.
Hollowell a verdict of $4,000 again.

Let Oklahoma Have
the Night Riders.

Taking advantage of the might
rider" troubles in Western Kentuc-
ky, real estate agents and land boom
ers of Oklahoma are making an ef-
fort to get farmers and other citi-
zens of that section of the State to
emigrate. Commercial clubs and
other business organizations of Ok
lahoma towns are flooding Western
Kentucky with literature setting out
the advantages to be derived in the
new state.
If Oklahoma is after the night ri
ders the universal prayer in Kentuc-
ky is. may the new state get them
all. If it is the aw.abiding element,
there is plenty of room in Kentucky
for them, and if the criminal class
makes life too burdensome for them,
there is room in Daviess, Hancock,
Henderson, Mclean and other coun-
ties in which there has been no night
rider troubles, and in which there is
not going to be any serious trouble,
because the good people. in Davies
and other counties of the Green Riv-
er district are not going to put up

citizens. In the Green River dis
