the highest citizenship.
Kentucky does not deserve this
record Of illiteracy and idleness. Out
side the mere condition. it indicates
the menace of prison bars. Idleness
leads to crime. llliteracy, with a
pliable subject, leads in the same
direction. Victor Hugo said: When
you open a school, you close a pris-
on" This is as true in its essential
limits as that the use of preventives
will eliminate disease.
There's wonderfully important

charge of children in these investiga-

Send your boys to school-make them
go. II you must have their labor, com

themselves for some certain work in

"cpME SEVEN. COME GOVERN
oRSHIP."

Talking with a party of friends al
the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville re-
Gently, Congressman Ben johnson
prospective candidate for Governor OF
Kentucky, remarked that a curious
fate had followed him in his official
aspirations. He has made the race
for a number of offices within the
gift of the people and strange to say,
each time he has won, he had seven
opponents for the place which he
sought. He says all he asks now is
that seven Democrats oppose him for
the gubernatorial nomination. His
wish would seem likely to be granted,
for the men who have been spoken
of in connection with this nomination
(seven in number) are as follows:
Ex-Congressman Charles X. Wheel
er, of Paducah; Judge ]. E. Robbins,
Of Mayfield; Chief Justice T. J. Num-,
If Marion; Ex-Congressman Henry D.
Allen, Of Morganfield; DR.. j. N. Nc
COrmick, of Bowling Green; Judge w.
P. Sandldge, of Russellville, and Ex-
D. H. Smith, of Hodgen-
vile.
If there is anything in a num-
her, Mr.. Johnson seems to have his
wish fully gratified.

CHILD's WELFARE
Is Sole Guide When Parents
Have Been Divorced, Says
Court of Appeals.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 2O.-Construc-
ton of the law as to the rights of
parents in regard to children, when a
divorce has been granted. was given
by the Court of Appeals to-day in
the case of Harry NJ. Shallcross
against Sarah. Shelby Shalcross, on
appeal from Jefferson county. The
welfare of the child is to be the sole
guide, the court says, and neither
parent has any rights which are high
er than the rights of the child.
Judgment of the lower court was
affirmed. Mrs. Shallcross obtained
divorce from her husband and was
awarded the custody of their infant
son, the judgment of the court being
that the father should have the boy
two days each month and week or
two during the summer vacation. La
ter Mrs. Shallcross refused to per-
NIT the boy to be with his father
even during the time which was spec
flied in the courts or
der. She alleged that the fathers
habits untitled him as a companion
for his son and the lower court mod
flied its order when the father sought
to secure the boy, sustaining the
mother and providing that Shallcross
should have the boy only at the home
Of a third person. In making this
ruling the court says, by Judge Set
tie:
JUDGE SETTLES RULING.
"Tn all cases respecting the Gus
tody of a child, the welfare of the
child is the governing principle with
the courts. Neither the father nor the
mother has any right that can be al
lowed seriously to initiate against the
welfare of the child. II the father be
unfit to have the custody of his child,
the courts will promptly declare his
rights forfeited. The same is true
IF the mother, and neither parent is
entitled to its custody If it is mani
testify against the child's welfare. If
the child has reached years of discre-
ton its wishes will be considered, but
will not always control. AS between
the parents the tendency of the courts
is to give very young children to the
mother, especially in cases of divorce.
The language of the statute itself
recognizes and emphasizes the para
mount duty of the court, which is to
look after the childs welfare, regard
less of both parents. We think the
evidence was sufficient to show APP
pellant is unfit to have the custody,
even temporarily, of his SON"

STARTLING CONDITIONS.

The Louisville Times has COM
menced the publication of a series OF
articles which deal with the subject
Of prison reform in Kentucky. They
are not only very interesting, but of
the most important character.
Recent Investigations have reveal
ed the fact that in the penitentiaries
Of Kentucky, two out of every three
convicts can neither read nor write,
and GO per cent. of them had neither
trade nor employment at the time Of
the commission of the crime for
which they were convicted.
This is a fearful record for civil
lized and enlightened people. 1t
speaks volumes for the value of an
education and its concomitant accom-
plishmeit, trade or calling. Boys
who go to school, even Enough they
may learn little, are taught the rudi-
ments of honesty and good citizenship
They are put in way to avoid the
strong arm of the law as it reaches
for the offenders against its mandates
An education, even If 1t be meager
in scope. saves boy from being COM
PEELED to resort to dishonest means to
obtain livelihood. No boy who has
diligently applied himself a few terms
in school need lack for honest en-
ployment of some sort, if he be COM
PEELED to look for work.
If circumstances cut a boy off
from school with even a smattering Of
an education, he should at once align
himself with trade or calling which
will fit him for some certain work
In life. There are too many boys
nearly men-who have no knowledge
OF any sort of trade. Usually, they
are the bane of the community in
which they live. They are little re-
spected and seldom wanted for any
thing. This is an age of specialization.
The day of Jack of all trades" has
passed. II is fitting and proper that
II should pass. The value of trade
was never more needfui or apparent.
This is obvious throughout the coun-
try. While penitentiaries are yawn-
ing, the trades are calling for young
men. IN them he gets something OIL

Death has again entered our quiet
little village and taken from us one of
our brightest minds and most beloved
citizens, in the person of DR.. J. J..
Mitchell DIR. John" as he was ia
miliarly known, was a doctor of rec
ognized ability and a man of sterling
qualities. He had many friends and
but few, II any, enemies To know
him was to love him, and the longer
you knew him the better you loved
him. He was a true friend and a
wise counselor. DR.. Mitchell was the
Oldest resident of the town of Beaver
Dam, having moved here in the year
1871, before the trains began TO run
over the railroad then known as the
E. & p, now the /. C. Your scribe
Is heard him say frequently that he
saw the first train pass through his
town, II am not mistaken, in the
year 1871. | do not mean to say he
was the Oldest man in the town, but
he was the only man living here nov
that was here when he came here.
DR.. Mitchell was born in Hancock
county in the year 1s47, making him
62 years old at the time of his death.
His father was a doctor andMethodlst
preacher and DR.. John was one OF Is

now remains OF that once large family

F. Mitchell, of Beaver Dam; Rev. f.
A. Mitchell, of the NJ +. Church, To-
Gated at Providence, KY. and Thorn
as G. Mitchell, a farmer living near
Hawesville, Ky. A sister, Mrs. Nancy
J. Williams, a widow, lives in Evans
ville Ind Another remarkable thine
of this remarkable family is that his
parents had Is children, 10 boys and
5 girls, all Of whom lived to be men
and women except one boy, who died
in infancy. DR.. John ]. Mitchell
married Miss Edna DeJarnett in May
1870. She, like himself, was ma
tive OF Hancock county. To them
were born s children, only two of
whom-Mamie and Jessie-survive
their father to console and comfort
their mother in her declining years.
Mamie is now sick in a hospital in
Louisville and was not able to. attend
her fathers funeral and burial. Jes-
sic married a Mr.. Cannon and Is liv-
ing in Greensboro, but has been with
her father ever since he has been sick.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to
the bereaved widow and children in
this the saddest hour of their lives
His funeral was preached by Bro.
Gardner, at the Baptist church, in a
crowd of sorrowing, friends that was
too large to be seated in the church.
After the funeral, the Masonicf ra-
ternity took charge of his remains and
inferred them in the Beaver Dam Gem,

Borrowing audience. DR.. Mitchell had
been a prominent member of the Bea-
yer Dam Baptist church for "a years
and was one of the most jealous chris
tians and faithful church workers that
II has ever been our lot to meet. He
went about his work in that friendly
christian spirit that made every man

his countenance. l can not close with
out saying that in him the Democrat

the date of our Presidential Inaugural
ton has bobbed up. 1t is now pro-
posed that this event be set for the
SOth of April, the date on which

convenience and public health and
comfort demand more salubrious
date than the present one, which is
generally characterized by snow and
freezing weather. By all means II
