We repeat what we have fire.
Iuently said before, all people who
egard the enforcement of laws
should stand firmly with Governor
Wilson in his effort to enforce the
laws. All men deserve protec-
zion. They pay their taxes. They
merit what they have paid for and
under the laws they should expect
nothing less than protection. If a
man steals your horse he should
be punished for it, if he burns
your home he should be punished
for this also and if he should scrape
your tobacco beds or be proven
guilty of applying the torch to
your tobacco barn, he should be
made to endure a just punishment.
Adiutant General johnson and his
force of assistants are laborin9
hard day and night in their efforts
to enforce the laws and in this
they deserve the cooperation OF
all citizens. This lawlessness must
be brought to "A close, but can not
without the sympathy and support
of the law abiding element of the
Commonwealth. If we would
have our homes secure, if we
would have our lives free from as
sauh, we must stand by our Off
GERS in their efforts to re-
store peace.

Saloonists in Louisville have
been notified to pay their license
promptly for August 1 or be

have been granted. If the saloon
business is honorable, helpful,
conducive to morality, happy lives:
If it gives to its patrons an ade-
Iuate return for the expenditure
Why should saloonists be subjected

CUSSES $3.50 EACH.

Among the eight or nine cases In
Police Court on Monday morning
was one of rare occurrence and
kind. A colored man was .arralgn-
ed for swearing. He admitted that
he swore, saying that another man
tried to induce him to take some
whiskey and that he did not want
to take it, and that he used pro-
fame words. A policeman stated
that he heard the man swear three
times. There was no testimony to
show that he was boisterous or dis
orderly or the charge would have
been "disorderly conduct" The
usual statutory tax for cuss is 81,
but he got a Special price (this is
the season of closing out0and re-
moval sales 3 for 81, reduction,
of one-third.
If EVERY WHITE MAN who is
heard to cuss on the street should
be fined 668c per cuss, the City
Treasury would be so flush that
city vouchers issued prior to 1908
could be paid on demand.
If cussin is Unable, why show
partiality to a CoLoRED man Why
not touch the white cultured Cd
citizen who makes the air blue with
his profane words
Men of both colors should look
alike when it comes to genteel, CD

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the representatives of the Democracy OF
Kentucky, in convention assembled at Lexington
June H. 1908, reaffirm our allegiance and devotion
to the principles of the Democratic party as repre-
sented by Jefferson and advocated by long line OF
lustrious leaders and as set forth in the national
Democratic platform in 1904. We indorse and point
with satisfaction to the wise honest and economical
conduct of the State government by the Democratic
administration of Gov. j. G. W. Beckham and his
associates in office.
We disapprove and condemn the weak, vacillat-
ing hypocritcal and arbitrary conduct OF our State
affairs by the present Republican administration.
We instruct the delegation elected by this con-
vention to cast the vote of Kentucky as unit upon
all questions and matters coming before the national
Democratic convention to be held at Denver COL,
July 7, 1908 and they hereby further instructed
to vote for William Jennings Bryan as the nominee
for president by said convention and continue to vote
for him until he shall be nominated.

letter to the Demo-

To the Democrats of Kentucky:
words are inadequate at this

and gratitude for the signal honor.
Not words, only acts are sufficient,
and in proof thereof | shall bring
to the discharge of the duties OF
this sacred trust whatever ability l
may possess, in a spirit.o earnest
devotion to the party's interest and
welfare, and with promise and
pledge, ever abiding, of universal
fairness and square dealing to all

SEALS FACTIoNALIsM's DOOM.
THE noble spirit Of harmony
and good feeling. so abundantly
manifested in the convention, is
the very seal of death of faction
alism, and an evidence of the end
of the. bitter internal strifes ofthe
past. Let by oOnes be by-gones.
Let the dead past bury its dead.
Never before has there been wit
messed such a spirit of liberation,
and the putting aside of self, all
for the promotion of the peoples
and the party's cause.
This magnificent display of
true party fealty and loyalty on
the part of Kentucky's noble DE
mocracy is but an index finger,
pointing onward to our coming
again into our own, and to a sure
and final triumph both in the State
and Nation.
NO DISCORDANT NOTE SOUNDED.
mo discordant note has been
sounded. No spy from the enemy
turks in our camp. We are all
brothers in the bond. With our
faces toward the future, with a
united and harmonious party, we
face a rising and not a setting sun.
II conceive the purpose of the
organization to be confined to car
rying into effect the wishes of the
voters, and of honestly and intelli-
gently seeking to promote the in
terests and establish the policies of
the party.
1T shall not be my purpose to
try to control the party or to
mould its sentiments in favor of
any particular interest or person,
but shall earnestly endeavor to
carry out whatever policy the
party in its deliberate judgement
and speaking through it's repre-.
sentatives may favor.
ACCEPTS HONOR AND THE DUTY.
In the spirit in which my fel.
low Democrats have conferred the
honor and the duty l accept it
and with malice toward none ant
charity for ALI let us, as reunited
and rehabilitated party, strive OF
to the accomplishment of Democ
racy's mission"

For a Sprdined Ankle.

AS usually treated, a sprained
ankle will disable the injured per-
son for a month or more, but by
applying Chamberlain's Liniment
and observing the directions with
each bottle faithfully a cure can
be effected in many cases in less
than one weeks time. This lini-
ment is a most remarkable prepa-
ton. Try it for a sprain or bruise,
or when laid up with chronic or
muscular rheumatism, and you are
certain to be delighted with the
prompt relief which it affords.
