The Bar Sinister.

Plays that appeal to the heart and
plays that heads of families can bring
their children to see are the plays
that thrive. Such a play is the Bar
Sinister which will be the attraction
at the McHenry Opera House foor one
night, November /, 1909. The play is
a love story full of characters that
have good red blood in them. A
play with a stronog moral lesson
and a play that every yuong man and
woman should see.

There is but one way TO deal with
that class of demons, who seek TO as
sassinate presidents and other public
officials. They should be exterminated
The plot recently uncovered to assas-
sinate president Taft and president
Diez disclosed a fearful state oof af-
fairs and calls attention to the neces-
sity for some strenuous effort to de-
tect and deal with this class of individ-
uals. We came very near saying "citi-
zens", but they cannot be called by
that name, they are outlaws pure and
simple and should be treated as such.
We have been too lenient with this
element in the past and while we do
not say government should prevent
public speeches or freedom Of the
press, yet there should be a sharp
line drawn indicating the extent to
which TRADES on public officials may
go and where they must stop.

The splendid characters and fit
ness for the positions to which they
aspire should arouse enthusiasm anon
the Republicans all over Ohio county
for our nominees for county Officers
Our Democratic friends are trying 10
steal a march on us by hiding their
identity, when among Republicans,
but they are all Democratic nominees
running under the rooster. Some of
them may be less partisan than 9TH
ers. but none of them are running as
Independents, and if conditions in
Ohio county were as twenty years
ago, they would no doubt sing anothe
song. At least the words would be
changed If not the tune.

Republicans in Breckenridge Coun-

The growing tendency to ignore
politics in judicial races is a good
omen. In many of the judicial dis
tricts in Kentucky for the first time
the Democrats are not opposing Rep
ublican nominees for this position
and in a number of other districts the
Republicans are offering no opposition
to the Democratic nominees. The jul
dietary should be held above mere
partisan strife and although we had
long since lost all hope of ever see
ing this condition in Kentucky, we
are more hopeful than ever that in
the years to come our courts from
the lowest to the highest may be alb
solutely free from partisanship, and
that every son of the commonwealth
may have a fair and impartial trial
whether his liberty or property rights
are evolved, without regard to his
standing in life or his party affiliatioi

Voters should not overlook the fact
that there is to be elected in Ohio
county this year representative In
the lower house of the Kentucky legis
lature. In casting their ballot they
should bear in mind that the DEM
ocratic party is pledged, by its action,
TO an unfair apportionment law for
the legislative districts of the state. A
vote for the present Democratic tick
ct in Ohio county is an endorsement
of the unwholly gerrymander which
was attempted to be fastened upon the
people of Ohio county by the Legis-
lature of 1906, when Ohio, Butler and
EdmonsOn counties with a population
Of $4,000 were put together to make
one legislative district that Spencer
county with a population of less than
5000 could be given a representative.
1t Is needless to say that Spencer
county is safely Democratic and the
election of a Democratic represena-
tive from that county was assured.
The next legislature, a member of
which will be elected from Ohio cOun-
ty, this fall will reapportion the state
into Legislative districts. Do the peopl
of Ohio county want to be represented
in that legislature by a man whose
party is on record in favor Of dishon-
est and unfair appointment laws
or do the people of Ohio County want
to be represented in that legislature
by a man whose party is on record
In favor of absolutely honest and
fair apportionment of the state? Do
they want to be represented by a man
whose party has passed law providing
for only one representative for &c.
900 people, where that representa-
tive must be a Republican, and a law
providing that less than 5000 peo-
pie are entitled to a representative
where that representative Is certain to
be Democrat? This Is the proposit-
lon that is up to the voters for the
determination at the polls November
End. II you want honesty and fair
ness in the apportionment of the
state into the next legislative dis
trict, cast your vote for the Republic
can ticket. Ii NOT cast your vote for
the straight Democratic ticket.

Strike the knot" said man one
day to his son, who, tired and weary,
was leaning on his ak over log
which he had been trying to cleave.
Then, looking at the log, the gen.
tleman saw how the boy had hacked
and Clipped all around the knot with.
out hitting it. Taking the ak. he
struck few sharp blows on the knot
and split the log without difficulty.
Smiling, he returned the ak to his
son. saying:
always strike the knot"
That was good advice 1t is as good
for you as it was to the boy to whom
1t was first given. 1t is capital max.

Have you a hard sum to do at school?
Have you got to face difficulty? Are

in charge of the lighthouse at Alpreck,
near Bologne, was recently taken Ill
with influenza and had to go to bed
One evening his substitute came tc

unable to light the lamp. and in view
of the grave consequences that the
absence of the light might entail. the
sick man rose from his bed. and IL
spite of the snow and wind. made his
way to the lighthouse, where after
considerable effort he was able tc
light the lamp. He returned home
but died two days later of cerebral
congestion. the result of exposure tc
the inclement weather. The humble
hero would have been entitled to his

Rocks Hatred Of Crows.


A curious incident in the recent his.
tory of the Gray's Inn settlement Of
rocks is mentioned by a London CORE
spondent.
1t appears that q couple of carriOn
crows settled in the gardens and one
day it was discovered that the rOOkery
was deserted. The benchers, who are
particularly proud of their rocks, gave
orders for the carriOn crows to be de-
stroyed and the gardener prepared
pigeons eggs with good doses of ar
senic. The crows swallowed them
and seemed to grow fatter and health
Ter. At last strychnine was used and
the pair was seen picking at the egg
One of them fell as it flew up to the
nest, the other reached the branch,
reeled and dropped.
Then a curious thing happened Not
a rock had been seen for weeks at
Gray's Inn. but the next day they were
all back as though advised by tele
gram.-ManchesterG Guardian.

THE LIVING BEFORE THE DEAD
Common Sense Opinion Clothed in
Poetic Language Delivered
from the Bench.

One might say that John Driscoll's
ears burned while Judge Marean read
his decision in court the other day,
except that such q statement might
be open to misconstruction. For John
has been dead for two years. Just the
same, whatever may be the feelings
Of the deceased about the matter.
Judge Marean's common sense ought
to come in for q bit Of reward.
Driscoll left his estate of few
thousand dollars to the church he at
tended at Far Rockaway on condition,
literally. that his grave be kept green.
In his will he commented with a GER
tain austerity upon the common prac-
tice Of neglecting the green tents be-
meath which the greater part of man
kinds army Is biv0uacked. and de-
vised his thousands with an eye to
making John Driscoll's grave q thing
Of beauty to the end of time.
But John Driscoll had some collat-
eral relatives. poor and ill-ciad and
on the verge Of starvation. Maybe
they never did anything for John Dris-
coll during his life. Maybe John Dris-
coll even hated them. But neverthe-
less they are i'll and in need, and that
money John Driscoll gave to the grave
might keep them in comfort for their
few remaining years. No hint through
the documents as to their previous re-
lation to John Driscoll.
But Judge Marean held that it is
better that the hungry be fed and the
ill-clad be clothed and the fatherless
be c0mforted than that a mound of
earth be lowered and gardened. The
revolving seasons may well care for
John Driscoll's grave. The winter
may cover it with a glittering mantle
and the spring adorn 1t with budding
flowers, and the summer weave above
1t thick green coverlid, which in its
turn the fall may grant a russell hue.
Let the law be as merciful to the liv-
ing as God is to the dead."-Cincin-
natl Times-Star.
