prlvations Of life on the farm for wom-

the most important drawbacks. That the
farm yields the largest proportion Of
insanity among women as compared
with any other environment, is a grue-
some fact that has been known these
many years, but no general plan for the
ameloration of the isolation thai is the
largest contributing cause Of insanity

So true is this that many cases are

lack of human comradeship. One of
the most drastic of all punishments is
solitary confinement.

race between Cook and Bush a few
years back Phillips was an ardent
supporter of Judge Bush in the pri-
mary, and when Cook was nominated
he was a strong supporter OF James
Breathitt. the Republican nominee.
IL is common talk that he will be
asked to take a dose of his own medi-
cine in November.
Phillips Is the law partner of Zeb
Stewart, who is accused by some OF
his own party by virtue of his posi-
ton as a member of the county COM
mittee of having practically disfran-
chised 1000 Democrats in the re-
Organization of the county Demo-
cratic committee some time ago.
There is great dissatisfaction among
Democrats in general, and though
this county is normally Democratic,
'it has large Independent vote, and
has several times rebuked the irregu-
larities of ring Democrats"
The races for sheriff and jailer are
also interesting. Walter Holland, the
Democratic nominee for sheriff, also
supported James Breathitt for Judge
against Cook, the Democratic nomi.
nee. This was done, however, on
personal grounds.
Holland is opposed by Charley Jor-
dan, a former prominent business
man of the west side of the county,
and at present in the insurance busi-
ness.
Jordan will make great inroads on
the west side Democratic vote, as
that is considered the stronghold of
Democracy in this county.

body knows, is popular everywhere.
There are about 900 Republican
votes in this county, and nearly every
one OF them viii vote for Patterson.

adds to this vote some 1900 dissatis-
fed and disfranchised Democrats one
can understand why certain Demo-
cratic nominees are on the anxious

Ruling Of Judge Makes il I'm.
possible TO Successfully
Prosecute.
Other Cases Are Called For
Trial Today.
POLITICS IS GETTING WARM

Murray, KY. Aug. Q. Especial. y
On account of a ruling of Circuit
Judge Cook, 1t became necessary Sat
urday to dismiss the indictments
against the alleged night riders in
what is known here as the Frank
Mardis raid. There we're 10, includ-
ing Magistrate Tom Jones and Ed
Thompson. This was necessary, as
his construction of a decision of the
court of appeals in the Jake Ellis
case prevented the commonwealth
attorney getting certain evidence be-
fore the jury. 1t is now a question
as to whether the present grand Jury
will reindict.
The jury having the Wayne Law
renee case brought in a verdict Sat
.urday afternoon giving Lawrence
two years in the penitentiary. Law
renee killed Andy Banister at a
church near Backusburg in July,
.190S. In the fight Lawrence was
stabbed twice over the heart, but re-
covered. Bannister was shot and died
ten days afterwards. The trouble
came up over the objections of Ban
mister to Lawrence's going with his
daughter. The case attracted wide
interest in the county Lawrence
was defended by Coleman & Linn, of
Murray, and Pete Seay. of Mayfield.
The prosecution was ably assisted by
Speight & AGREE. Both Speight and
Commonwealth Attorney Smith
made powerful arguments.
Galloway Politics.
The political pot is beginning to
simmer in "Old Galloway" and ere
long may reach the boiling point
Jack Hanberry was here last week
looking after his political fences.
However. little interest is being
manifested so far in the judicial race
as the Republicans will not nomi-
nate candidates for circuit Judge
and commemorative attorney until
August II.
At present interest seems chiefly
centered in the county races. The
Republicans have nominated candi-
dates for county Judge, sheriff and
jailer. Judge T. w. Patterson, who
was appointed by Governor Wilson
to oil out the unexpired term of
Judge Wells, is opposing 4. p.
Philips. the Democratic nominee.
Patterson has made a satisfactory
official to all parties alike. and in his
public capacity has known no "fac-
ton" or set of men. His official
course has been absolutely above
criticism, and there Is a strong dis
position to endorse him in November.
The race between Phillips and Pat
terson presents a peculiar condition,
in that 1t places Phillips at a great
disadvantage in asking the solid sup
port of his party. In the judicial
