ReaI American Aristocracv.

1t was through the Declaration Of
Independence that we Americans Ak
knowledge the eternal inequality 0;
man. for by 1t we abolished a cut ana
dried aristocracy. We had seen little
men artiicially held up in high places
and great men artifcially held down in
low places. and our own justice loving
hearts abhorred this violence to human
nature. "Let-the best man win" That
is Americas word. That is true democ-
racy. And true democracy and true
aristOcracy are one and the same thing.

RIDDING THE CITY OF TRASH.
Crusade for Better Sanitary Condi

Crusade for Better Sanitary Condi-
tions Proves Il Success.
The crusade inaugurated last
week for a better sanitary condition
has In the main been great success
but there is still much work to be
done along that line. The proffer of
the city to furnish wagons to haul
off the trash received hearty res
ponse from many citizens and they
went to work with a will to clean
up their premises. Two large wagons
were started on the rounds this
morning and it required nearly all
day to work one street. This is an
opportunity that should not be ne
elected and there is no reason why
everyone in the city should not have
cleaner premises. If you have not
gathered up your trash yet, do SO
at once and phone 101 two rings. 1t
will take several days for the wag-
ons to visit every part of the city.

Constantly on
Duty.

Lexington, Ky, Mar. 23.-Driven
by panic fears because of warning
letters and visits from .nightriders,
farmers in nearly all of the forty
two counties in the white Burley
tobacco district are busily destroying
their tobacco beds and at the pres
ent time less than one-third of the
number usually planted have beer
started.
In many counties huge signs have
been erected on buildings and in
high places nearby declaring the in
tention of the farmer not to raise
any crop this season. Realizing the
difficulty of making living for
their families in case the decision to
raise no tobacco is adhered to, many
tenant farmers are preparing to
move to other states while many
farm owners have placed their prop
erty on the market with the avowed
purpose of leaving Kentucky. The
murder of Farmer Hedges in Nichol-

Woodford and other counties last
week have increased the alarm. In
announcing their determination to
go elsewhere the tenants declare

was something in the neighborhood of
$40, 900 and takes in business which has
been established nearly 81 years. It
was located by John w. Stoner, and up
to the time of his death, less than a

dependent on the trade received from
the travellers over the Oregon trail, the
trappers and hunters, who passed that
way.

of western Wyoming and is the center
for large sheep industry, from which
1t derives its principal support, together

the intention Of the new owner to put
the business on strictly up to-date basis.
