BEACH HAkGIS
Now on Trial at Irvine for Muir.
der Of His Father.

Irvine, KY, Dec. 21.-All preliminar-
les incident to the trial of Beach
Hargis for the murder Of his faith
er, Judge James Hargis, were quick
ly dispensed with this morning and
the actual trial begun,
For more than an hour the jury
and spectators sat almost motionless
and heard both sides outline what
they expected to prove by witnesses,
and the sensation was not cohfined
to the prosecution, but, If anything,
were even eclipsed BY the defense.
1t is doubtful II ever in the history
of the Kentucky courts such astound-
ing charges were made against dead
man as were detailed to the Jury by
Judge ]. j. C. Bach, for the defense,
in his opening statement 10 the jury.
Judge Bach pictured the late
Jim Hargis, for years his friend and
companion, and the man whgm be
defended in all of his trials, as rer-
haps the most desperate man In the
mountains, man whose despotc
rules was even greater than tnat of
Louis XIV. He said that no man wht
dared to defeat his purpose was
row living to tell t.
A. F. Byrd, who spent five Years in
an effort to convict Jim Hargis Of
ore or more of the several assassin
ations OF which he was accused, was
perhaps the most interested listener
In the crowded court room, and he
said after court that he had leen
vindicated In the many charges he
had made against Hargis in the past
and that the vindication came from .
man who stood with Hargis Luring
his lifetime and had defended him
and had tried to make the people Of
this country believe the charges A.
gainst Hargis were false,

For the Holidays.

On Tuesday afternoon the pupils of
the public school and the college wer
dismissed until January 4, 1909.
They needed the relaxation which the
recess brings, and the NEWS hopes
tLey will enjoy the holidays in a
sane sober and sensible way. Co
lug to school under the direction
OF the present faculty is no child's
play, even though the pupils, most
Of them, are children. There is no
waste time, no idle moments, no
lost notion as the engineers say.
After four months study it is
proper to spend a time in ways.
May every pupil return iefeshed
and strengthened by the vacation,
and may the attendance at the X.

Model School Prize.

The interest already Ghown in the
prize Offered by clubwomen Of Ken
lucky to the model school, is most
encouraging. 1t indicates that in va
rous sections of Kentucky, there IS
a definite realization of the present
educational deficiencies and hope to
improve conditions. Not every gchooI
In the state may compete for the 800
offered-more's the pity-for many
will regard 1t as helpless from the
very outset, but those that do com
rete will gain from the improvements
they make and the whole system viii
benefit from the impetus the move-
ment gives to better educational IA
eilities. At present there are i1fin-
itely more poor schools in Kentucky
than there are good ones. In fact,
good schools are the exceptions. There
must come time when the poor
schools will be the exceptions That
Is the time Kentuckians must .snire
to and work for Te existing rondi-
tions are lameatable. They reach dow
to the fundamentals. The nverage
school building is unsanitary, iick-
ETY. and all but uninhabitable. Far
too many teachers are lacking the e.
quipment proper for. their work. Great
achievements must have beginnings
and the task of revolutionizing the
Kentucky school system has had its
start. That is the one splendid fact.
