A Saint and a God.

There are more Saint Valentines
than you can shake stick at, but the
particular Valentine VINO was made the
patron of young lovers seems to have
been a quite young Florentine who
never did anything In particular to de-
serve the election. When the pagan
gods were given their official quietus
some centuries ago some of them were
rude enough to refuse to admit that
they were dead old customs survived ;
the switch from goes to saints was not
made IN a day; there was one deity in
particular who had gained the affec-
tons of the stupid multitude, and he
was very imprudent when he was
politely asked to retire. This stubborn
Individual was Cupid, and his recalci-
trant attitude created a scandal
throughout Christendon. But Cupid
stuck to his artillery, and finally
forced a compromise. 1t was agreed
that the old customs should continue,
but that the patron god should be
changed to a patron saint, and the
saint selected was the aforesaid Valen-
tine. And yet Cupid seems to have
got the best of the bargain at that; it
is on the saints birthday that those
sentimental missives ares exchanged,
but the pink and pudgy god. clothed in
nothing to speak of except his pink
ness and podginess is featured conspic-
uously on the posters-the saint can
have the name, but the god takes the
game.-Don Marquis in Uncle Remus's
Magazine for February.

Contract Let for Morgan's Statue

The contract for the erection of the
proposed equestrian statue of General
John. Hunt Morgan was awarded Fri
day night to Pompeo Coppini, of San
Antonio, Texas.
The award was made by the State
Committee and Advisory Board of the
United Daughters of of the Confeder-
acy, there being fourteen cotestants
present or sending proposals when the
final meeting was held in the reception
room of the City Young Mems Christ
ian association at Lexington.
The equestrian statue will cost $15.-
90. Oi::this amount there has already
been raised $50 and the committees
will start campaign soon to raise the
remainder of the money. The statue
is to be completed and ready for mount
ing in 1909.
The design selected is a most artistic
one, representing the great leader
mounted upon his spirited steed, his
hat n his right hand at his side and
his attention fixed expectantly upon
his command short distance away.

The kentucky Situation.

The Commoner, Mr., Bryan's paper,
says:
The situation in Kentucky is simply
.his: A few Democratic members re-
fuse 20 abide by the decision of the
majority rendered at primary, that
majority being respected by nine
of the Democratic members. Cover
nor Beckham and Senator McCreary
were candidates before the primary,
and Governor Beckham won by de-
cisive majority. Some complained that
the primary was called too soon, but as
Senator McCreary entered the contest
and would have had, the party support
if he had won his friends can make no
objection now. Charges of fraud have
been made against the primary, but
thUse charges were not prosecuted and
Senator McCreary spoke for the ticket
during the campaign. All or nearly
ali of the members who now refuse to
vote for Governor Beckham acQuiesced
in the result and allowed the voters to
assume that they would vote for Beck
ham.
Inc Louisville C.urier-Journal criti-
cises Mr.. Bryan for going to Frankfort
and urging all Democrats to vote for
Beckham, but the principle involved is
not local, it is national. Democracy
requires acquiescense in the will of the
majority and that Democratic princi-
pie is just as binding on the Democrats
of Kentucky as on Democrats else
where. Either the majority or the
minority must rule.
The contest may result in any one OF
five ways:
First-Beckham may be elected-in
this case the will of majority of tine
Democratic voters and the will of a
majority of the Democratic members
of the Legislature will be carried out.
Second-rhe boiling democrats may
force the nomination of another Demo
crat. In that case one-tenth of the
members will dictate to nine-tenths.
Third-The boiling Democrats may
| join the Republicans in electing some
Democrat-but what Democrat would
want to hold the place at the hands of
Republican politicians, and thus obi
gate himself to them?
Fourth-They may join the Republi-
cans in the election of Republican
bbQt this is unthinkable, for it would be
a base betrayal of their constituents.
Fifth-The deadlock may continue
until the end of the session and thus
lleave the State with but one Senator
and compel another contest two years
hence.
Every plan except the first means
the inauguration of another feud.
Governor Beckham stands for Demo
cratic principles, and his election would
cave less of bitteress than the election
of anyone else, for his election exc
Democrats-the election of any one
else defeats the Democratic will.
Acquiscence in the will of the ma
jority is the most fundamental of Dem
ocratic principles and The Commoner
urges the Democrats of Kentucky to
give their endorsement to this Demo
cratic doctrine.
