constitution. The surroundings Of
one taught him to abhor slavery and
secession, while the surroundings OF
the other taught him that slavery, as
II existed, was best for the negro
as well as for the white, and that the
right OF a state to secede was guaran-
teed or implied In the constitution.
Lincoln and Davis did not make
those issues and could not avert
them. They were the mere victims of
chance, and fate chose them as the
leaders OF the two opposing sides. IL
was an honest difference of opinion
about the construction of the con-
stitution. Lincoln believed as Web
ster believed, and Davis as Calhoun.
Suppose the fate had sent Lincoln
to Mississippi and Davis to Illinois
what a change in their destinies 1t
would have wrought Or, suppose
both had remained in Kentucky; but
there is no use supposing. The ques-
ton has been settled, and, tho We
may lament the terrific cost in blood
and treasure to settle II, yet no one
can now regret that the Union was
preserved and slavery abolished. Lin
coins idea prevailed, and every Sec
ton now honors his greatness of
mind and heart. Davis stood for a
principle that was believed In by the
South and with courage and ability
led the fight for ii. The states that
followed him are now a considerable
and loyal part of the Union, not
grieving that their cause was lost. but
stlll devoted to the memory of their
leader in that unfortunate struggle
Lincoln and Davis were great men
and Kentucky may well be proud
that they were born of her bone and
sinew. They we're equally sincere in
their convictions.
Kentucky should. therefore, pre-
sent these two sons as her represent
ativee In the National Hall of Fame
1t would illustrate, better than any,
thing else. the fact that this is re-
united country; that the bitterness
of sectional strife has passed away;
that peace and friendship exist be-
tween the sections: and that the only
memory we have of that unhappy
conflict is the memory of valorous
deeds and heroic men on both sides
a common heritage of renown and
glory to every American citizen.

KENTUCKY IN STATUTORY HALL

KENTUCKY IN STATUTORY HALL
Each state In the Union is given
the privilege by congress to place
statues of two of its eminent men in
Statuary Hall in the capitol at Wash.
ington. Many of the states have al.
ready done so, and Statuary Hall has
become one Of the chief points of in
terest In Washington, with its marble
likenesses OF the country's greatest
men. Virginia has but recently
placed statues of Washington and
lee in the hall, and commenting on 1t
former Governor Beckham, who is
now editor of the State Journal, OF
Frankfort, comes forward with the
suggestion that Kentucky place Lin
coin and Davis as its two representa-
tive men. He says:
II is now Kentucky's turn to pre-
sent two of its greatest names TO the
Capitol. II was not a state, but a
part of Virginia, during the Revolu.
tionary period, and consequently we
must come after that time for a Sc
lection. Among the states born since
the establishment of the federal gov
eminent, 1t has the most extensive
list from which to make its choice
A number of distinguished men have
been suggested, and 1t might be diff.
cult TO choose two from II, except for
the fact that history itself seems to
point unerringly to the two, who
stand out conspicuous, above all the
rest. The most critical period which
the country has experienced since
II secured its independence from
Great Britain was undoubtedly that
of the Civil war. Kentucky was on
the borderland between the two war
ring sections in that awful struggle
The rival armies OF North and South
passed to and fro over its land and
left devastation and distress. In some
respects II suffered more than any
other state; the people OF the state
north OF us were all on one side; the
people of the states south OF us were
all on the other side. But our own
people. by reason of geographical To-
cation and the logical force OF cir
cumstances, were divided among
themselves. r..s .,...4..
IL IL a curious and remarkable
fact, and 1t illustrates the
here at the time. that the
leader on each side In the conflict,
was furnished by Kentucky. OF its
soil and OF It's blood were produced
Lincoln and Davis; the one the pres
ident OF the United States, the other
of the Confederate states. Born in
the same state, within a hundred
miles of each other, the boy Lincoln
was taken north to live and the boy
Davis was taken south. Each was
the child of circumstances In his mi
grafton from the mother state, and
neither dreamed OF the bearing itI
might have upon his own destiny or

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

The following story is told by one
of The Kentucky employees: while
we had on a rep show here one week
last winter. we ran the same bill
three nights. and in one scene a hus-
band enters door an instant after
an admirer Of his wife departs thro
another. During the run I noticed
that one man, obviously from the
country, went IN every night. so re.
marked to him that he must enjoy
the performance.
'Tolerabiy So. he rejoined. but

catch that other fellow, and | want
to be on hand when he does Il for
there is going to be something do

The following story Is told on a
bright Paducah LAWYER who, while
visiting In another city not long ago
was asked to Introduce a prominent

him to mention the name of the
distinguished visitor he forgot II
completely and in the hope that II
would come to him, began to spar

The Operetta PauIine--A
Fine Performance.

The operetta Pauline as pro
duced at the Opera House last
Thursday night, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Effie Hughes, was
an unqualified success. Every
part of it moved smoothly and
with precision. Considering the
large number of persons engaged
in the production, many of whom
were making their first appear
ance, it is remark able how well
everything passed off. The sue
cess of the operetta depended of
course on the music and the
singing, there being very little
talking done, even by the princi-
pal characters.
Miss Berta Thornton, as Pau
line, sang several beautiful solos.
Miss Ethel Burkett also sang a
solo very sweetly. Miss Ligie
Thornton and Mr.. Wlllie Huebner
Joined voices in a beautiful duett.
Mr.. Huebner has most melodi-
Gus voice and, with proper train
ing, would make his mark as a
vocalist. Mrs. S. A. Thulemeyer
was the Coincidence of the play
and, as usual, entered into the
full spirit of the part. Mr.. s. a.
Thulemeyer, as the village ply
stefan, sang in his usual good voice
Mr.. It. ]. Ponton, as Faber, the
journalist, was there with the
words if not quite with the music
Mr.. Rudy Flato surprised his
friends by his rendition of the
part of an old negro, and while
he does not claim to be soloist,
sang his little song very nicely.
Messrs. Lichey, Kunetka and
Messer, as the three tramps,
carried off the honors as fun
makers. Mr.. A. Dunn, as the
negro Shady, and Mrs. Dunn, as
the gypsy fortune teller, also did
we'll. Mr.. Peck Welhausen
paired off very we'll with Chiclkie.
THE chorus was we'll trained and
sang like professionals. The cos
tunes were all neat and showed
up we'll.
Mrs. Efie Hughes has good
cause to be proud of her success
in her undertaking, as to her
almost alone belongs the credit
of this splendid production.
