The late George w. Harvey, Wash
ington's noted caterer. was an admir-
able after-dinner speaker. A Wash
ington correspondent recalled the
other DAY a press banquet that Mr.
Harvey once attended.
"He gave" said the correspond.
ent. some funny advice TO the won.
ans page editors present. He sug'
gested that they brighten up theil
etiquette departments by the intro
duction OF really interesting rules OF
etiquette.
Then he ratified OF a lot OF rules
like this:
Never wear automobile goggles
when riding on an electric car. Our
best people consider II pretentious.
"Tf someone accidentally treads on
your heel and says. 4 beg your par

be thought a true gentleman simply
scowl and pass on.
"A gentleman should never allow
a lady to pay for anything This, OF
course, does not refer to the titled

the report a note Of surprise and CON
graduation that more was not miss
ing.
The credit. the report is bound to
reflect on the county administration
is so obvious that We really do pot
recognize the necessity of the es-
teemed News Democrats labored de-
Tense of those officials, to whom the
people have delegated authority over
the tax money and disbursements.
Its unfortunate comparison of the
MANAGEMENT of county institutions
and finances with the operations of a
bank or other "competently managed
Offices and business houses, rather
detracts from what would otherwise
be an enthusiastic approval of every
thing the county administration did
and did not do all during the time OF
Smedley's alleged defalcations.
II we could conceive a bank clerk
stealing Systematically for ten years
without being detected (for, so far
as the county officials are concerned
Smedley never was detected; VIII
Husbands, state revenue agent
discovered the shortage), we
can scarcely conceive those officials
whose duty 1t was 30 prevent theft
not only being allowed to retain their
positions. but being congratulated in
the report of the shortage for theii
excellent management and econo-
my.
We know the prediction that the
report will reflect great credit comes
direct from the administration itself
and, therefore, must be authentic;
but, IL as the News-Democrat re-
marks, such thefts. covering so ex
tended a period, do happen in great
business houses, as well as in public
Offices, the county should do as great
business houses do, discharge those
whoshould have discovered the thefts
and be very very careful what char
acter of man is placed in charge Of
that office hereafter; for the fac
that one hundred of the 119 county
court clerks in Kentucky are paying
back under this state administration
money they stole under the last, in
dicates that Kentuckians have MOI
hitherto been as careful as "compe'
tently managed business houses.

state PrImary Election LAW.

Sthte t'fif1hfy ElectlOu LAW.
To every thoughtful citizen, what
ever his political bias, It Is more than
clear that Kentucky is sorely in need
of state primary election law.
The days OF conventions are over.
They are nothing but assemblages OF
tricksters. corruptionists and traders,
ready, willing and anxious to sell for
Office, with no thought of principle
whatever.
Il Is equally apparent that the pri-
maries of today are unsatisfactory
ITO go no further from home, present
conditions in Barren, Monroe and
this judicial district are all the Illus
trations necessary The time appears
to be passed when Democrats can be
relied upon, under any and all cir
cumstances. to do the fair and square
thing with each other, and the Re-
,publicans are in the same boat.
The primary. however, is the
proper method OF selection by all
parties. The people have a right, by
their direct votes, to choose their
own officers nor can a state primary
be as easily corrupted as a conyen-
ton.
IL is not probable that a state prI-
mary election law would end all the
evils complained OF. Human nature
must be changed before that can be
done. but a fair, honestly-framed
primary election law will come nearer
Fighting the wrongs complained OF
than any other possible agency.
II this law will force all parties 10
make their nominations by primary
ELECTIONS, holding them together at
the same time and place. placing
their elections under the control OF a
non-partisan board, distributing the
tofficers fairly and evenly between tbs
lpartles. paying them out of the state
treasury and applying all the pro
visions OF the general election law tC
primaries, long step towards stem.

satisfaction threatening TO oyerwheln

Beyond all dispute, a law OF thil
character is supreme politica

The Grass Widow.

Grass widow" is not necessarily a
slang term. II appears in the mar
triage register of Halstead, Essex
England. as early as 1864. II is said
10 be a corruption OF grace widow
and dates from the days when d.
vorces were granted only by the au-
thority OF the church. The woman
who was 30 empowered TO separate
from her husband was commonly
called a grace widow. and from this
the expression gradually gained its
present meaning and spelling.

CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

As the News Democrat cheerfully
suggests, the report OF Professor
Smith. who examined the county
books to ascertain the populations OF
former County Clerk Hiram Smedley;
will reflect great credit on the
county administration" Indeed
the bare announcement of the fact
that thefts have been going on regu-
larly undetected for ten years re-
fleets great credit on the county ad-
ministration.
Its long suffering patience under
the circumstances, its gradual reduc-
tion of interest on county deposits
and it's benevolent settlement with
Smedley's bonding company for less
than the alleged shortage indicate a
paterial patience with human nail
ties and a tender regard for the In
terests OF contracting parties, little
less than divine. We anticipate in
