HOME SOCIETY VICTIM

Last week a trial in the Crttenden
Circuit Court brought to light the
fact that the homes provided by the
Kentucky Childrens Home Society are
not always better than no home Some
time since a representative of that
Society was IN Hartford, playing de-
tective, and came very near starting a
riot. He also engaged in "a fierce ar
gument with the writer, because we
mad offered some criticism in connect
ion with published account of the
kidnapping of two little children from
their mothers by an officer of this
Society. Those IN our vicinity who
have been contributing 10 this institu-
ton and voting money from their
meager Sunday school collections, will
no doubt, read with borrow the fate
of poor little Frances Watts in
the home which they have
helped TO plan her, doubtless forceable

HARTFORD HERALD ON BRYAN

OHIO County Democrats may gather
from the following quotations what
the Hartford Herald thinks of Bryan
whom it strongly intinates is boss.
and a weak one.
Tine greater hope of Democratic
unity and harmony for the next cam
paign lies in the effort to eliminate
the names of both Cleveland and
Bryan from the list of President al
possibilities. There is a difference and
an antipatny between the men and
the followers of cdcn--which con-
stitute a large portion of our vu,iug
/ population-wnich precludes the pos
sib1lity of unity of Democratic sentI-
ment so long as either one casts the
light OF his influence from the pc,Ii, al
horizon. Mr.. Cleveland says under no
circumstances would he accept Pres
dental nomination. Mr.. Bryan mas
given uterante 10 samething similar.
Let that suffice.
The Hartford Herald Dec. 21d, 1893.
/ 1T is a mater of regret that Mr.
Bryan still persists in assuming To-
dictate the inssues OF the DemocI I;ic
party from SO standpoint. and to
thereby create dissension in the party
which would otherwise not exist. MT.
Bryan is a great and good man and ne
enjoys Gis;iIc, ion and honor which few
men have attained. He harbors very
peculiar idea, however, in that he
seems to regard tenacity and political
defeat as of equal consequence with no
lltical victory. The idea that pon-
hcal party should win once in "A wn!ie

STATE AID FOR ROADS

Ex-Governor Hoard says on state aid
for country roads:
'In my judgement, nothing has come
before the people of the State in many
years which means more to the future
progress and development of our COM
monwealth than this very question of
State Aid
"The farmer is especially interested,
if he can but see the question in it's true
light. There is a powerful pressure of
public sentiment for the Improvement
of our roads. The farmer has rests ted
this pressure because, as matters now
stand, the main burden of construction
would come on him, but if the proposed
amendment to the constitution is car
ried, then all the property of the State
is placed under contribution for this i'm
portant object.
"Then again, there is no man in the
State who is more vitality interested
from the hard cash standpoint, in having
good roads to his market town, than the
farmer. The nearer to town his farm
lies the greater it's value, and the more
it will sell for per acre. A good macad-
amized road that can be used in all kinds
of weather and all times of the year for
the heaviest loads, practically reduces
distance fifty per cent for, double the
load can be handled and, if need be, the
distance can be travelled in half the time.
Wherever such roads have been built,
the effect has been to, at once, increase
the selling value of the farms adjoun-
ing from $40 to 500 per acre.
''These are hard practical reasons
looking to an increase of farm values
and wealth, and believe they lie with
in this proposition of State Aid for
roads.
