Recent disorders in Bloody Breath
lit" have revived talk of the abOl-
isthent Of the county by the Leg
isLture. The Lexington Gazette
champions such action in the follow
Ing:
The Gazette once more renews the
suggestion that Breathitt county be
wiped off the map as a county. APP
Parently as long as there is a county
government at Jackson to be a bone
of contention between blOOdthirsty
fcIdists, but exercising little power
for the enforcement of the law, we
may expect these frequent outbreaks
of crime that bring discredit not
Herely upon Breathitt, but upon the
whole State of Kentucky.
We have already far too many
counties in Kentucky We could
abolish forty or fifty of them with
very great profit to the State and to
al classes Of people, and Breathitt
offers an excellent starting point for
this process Of retrenchment
The Gazette does not mean to re-
fleet upon the lawabidIng element of
Brtathitt citizenship. We have no
doubt there is such an element in
BrCathitt, but the lawless class is
more constantly in evidence and
seems to be able to maintain the
upper hand.
1t may be said OF Callahan that he
is the victim Of retributive Justice
hut If we COuntenanCe this methoC
for applying retributive justice We
might as well abandon all law and
all social organization and return Il
a condition of chaos and savageTY
Thus far all efforts TO restore peace
and respect for law in Breathitt have
a"ailed but little, and the county
still stands before the Safe and the
country as the representative anC
exponent of violence and blOOdshed
Breathitt as a county does not seen
to be able 10 purge herself Of the
criminals, and the next session Of
the Legislature ought to take steps
tC eliminate the name of Breathitt
from the map of Kentucky.

PERSONAL LIBERTY A
MISNOMER--- ---bRYAN
Takes Strong Position Against
Saloon and Liquor Dealer.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 20.-In this
weeks Commoner w J. Bryan takes
a strong position in opposition to the
saloon and the liquor dealer and de-
clares the term personal liberty" to
be a misnomer The article is taken
to forecast Mr.. Brytn's coming dec
laration for county option. The article
says,
"The liquor dealers, recognizing
that their very obvious pecuniary In
terest would lessen the weight of any
argument which they might publicly
advance, are making their fight under
cover of organizations purporting to
represent those who use liquor. Many
well meaning men have been misled
into believing that every attempt to
lessen the evils of intemperance is a
fanatical attack on personal liberty
"The saloon is next of kin to the
brothel and the gambling hall; 1t is
a rendezvous for the criminal ele-
ment and willing tool of corrupt poll
ticians. Has not the body polite a
right to protect itself from the de-
moralization which the saloon works :?
"The right to drink does not neces-
sarily include the right to demand the
establishment of a saiCDa. The right
to drink is sufficiently protected by
any arrangement that permits the rea-
sonable use of liquor under reason
able conditions and it must be remem-
bered that the right to drink, like any
other right, can be forfeited"
