Manager Elgin had an off day in the
second game and made three errors on
first. He had been playing a perfect
game up to this. He acted the man
however, and placed all the blame
upon himself for the loss of the game.
Fleming recovered sufficiently from
the tea shower of Sunday evening to
pitch the Bourbonites to their first vic
tory at Shelbyville Tuesday.
The Frankforts, who won the pen
nant last year, will be here for games
today and tomorrow. The champions
are strong bunch, but the Bourbon
ties are beginning to play fast ball and
Paris fans should not miss either of
these games, for they will be corke1s.
The crack Winchester team, who
call themselves the "Hustlers'' will be-
up with the Bourbonites Sunday after
noon, at League Park. 1t is said that
five hundred Winchester fans will be
mere to see Sundays game.
A large banner "Game Today"
stretched from G. r. James corner to
Wills puolroom corner will always keep
the public posted as to home games.
There will be a special train that
will leave Cynthiana Sunday at 2 p. m.
for parties who desire to see the ball
game, between Paris and Winchester in
this city. The train will return at
6 80 after the game.
Ike Price, who ordered shirts in case
lots expecting to keep the Bourbonites
supplied in this wearing apparel, Of
fering a shirt for each home run
knocked on the home grounds, hasn't
had any calls for the garments and is
beginning to wonder what disposition
he can make of his stock.
Scott, like another fellow of the
same name, is showing considerable
speed-not on a train, however-but
on short. He is proving himself to be
''the kid with the stick.
Now that Barnett has shaved, it is
quite likely that he feels much better
and wilt no doubt be in the game with
renewed energy.

PARIS. KENTUCKY FRIDAY, MAY IA. 1909.
Base Ball.

The Paris Base Ball team returned
from Shelbyville Wednesday night
after playing two games there, WIN
ming one with score of 8 to 4, and los
ing one with score of 6 to 4. The ice
however, is broken and we can look
for better things. Fleming was the
pitcher that stopped the ''hoodoo" in
the first game at ShelbyvilIe. The
second game there was pitched by
Quinlin mastery style allowing only
four hits to be made by these sIuggers.
The game being lost in the eighth
inning by errors. The features of the
latter game were Quinlan's pitching
and ScOtt's fielding at short for Paris.
The home team went to Lexington
yesterday and the following tells the
tale:

According to the Savannah News,
Mr. Bryan is seeking a fourth NOM
ination, but wrong in the opinion that
he will get it, The News adds, "All
signs indicate that the South will be
against his nomination in 1872" The
motive is a belief that the party can
not win with him as it's standard bear
er, and doesn't see the wisdom of
naming a leader who is practically
sure to lead the party to defeat
Phis is very plain language. 1t
means that the South which doubted
somewhat the advisability of nominal
ing Mr.. Bryan last year, is now fully
convinced that he is unavailable for
1912. And at a time when the Fed
era1 Administration is striving hard to
split the South, it would be exceeding
ly impolitic for the other sections to
impose upon it a candidate unsatisfac-
tory to it. We may add that very
many Northern Democratss-who have
stanch1y supported Mr.. Bryan in his
three unsuccessful campaignss are not
in favor of a fourth attempt, even
though still admirers Of him and sup
porters of his policies. 70 :"

Representative Malone cot Bristol,
who should have been named to the
Craftsmanship, instead Of mere mem
bership, of the Judiciary committee,
has declared that he. favors a public
utilities bill. Yet the adverse report
of the committee was reported as un-
animous. Other members of the House
claim to favor the principle, but not
all the provisions of the bill. Why
then did they, and Mr.. Malone also, at
least seek to amend the measure to
meet their views? Are their. explana-
tions mere endeavors to sexculpate
themselves, when in reality they do
not favor the creation of a public util-
tiles commission Of any type? The peo-
pie are not inclined to accept fimsy
excuses in this matter. They are not
likely to accept explanations which
don't explain and which seem to be
only designed to avert popular ven
geance, at somewhat of cost to truth

GREENE. HOLCONIB


Gov. Weeks selections for Superior
Court judges, Marcus Holcomb OF
Southington and Gardiner Greene of
Norwich meet with general approval,
except from those who desired the ap-
pointnent of Michael Kenealy- 1t APP
pears that the late Gov. Lilley had de-
cided upon these selections and that
Gov Weeks has carried the wish Of
his predecessor into effect.
Gardiner Greene is a leading lawyer
of Eastern Connecticut, IS years old
and a graduate of Yale university and
Columbia Law school. He was a part
ner with Congressman Wait from 1875
until the latter,s death in 1899. He
has served two terms in the House.
in both as member of the Judiciary
committee. His appointment to the
bench is highly commendabIe.
Marcus H. Holcomb is a native of
New Hartford and 65 years old. The
age limit will retire him. before the
completion of an eight year term. In
1906, he served as Speaker Of the House,
and in 1906 he was elected Attorney
General, his term in that office not
expiring until 1911. AS such official,
he has rendered useful opinions which
strongly indicate possession Aof what
Is called the judicial temperament.
Il There is much sympathy for Mr..
Kenealy who was, it had been sup
posed, assured of one of these judicial
appointments. There was no question
as to his ample qualifications, any
criticism of his personal character. In
addition he was held to have earned
such recognition, by his services to
his party. Tt is a great surprise to
many Republicans that the late Gov.
Lilley rejected the Kenealy candidacy
and that Gov. Weeks has. endorsed
that rejection Surely. both were I'M
der obligations. to him for his very
capable management Of their cam
paigns last year, and there is a long
honored custom of properly rewarding
such service
Possibly, the future may bring an
explanation of the failure to recognize
Mr.. kenealy in accordance with his
merits and probably alses wishes
In the meantime the surprise must
continue, though numerous Sonjectures~
will probably appear, sQHs : one of
which may chance upon the real facts.

In a speech by Representative Taw-
ney, one of the Republican leaders in
the House, there appears a statement
upon the free-lumber question, which
is as conclusive in it's reaSoning as it
is concise in language:
If to demand a duty on the unf1n-
ished product of an industry where 1t
is conceded that the cost of producing
that product is no greater here than
it is aeroad-an industry whose raw
material is rapidly diminishing and
cannot be reproduced except by the
joint action of God and man-for the
purpose of giving to that industry
monopoly in the sale of its product
in the American market, is Republican
protection, then the gentleman from
Michigan (Mr. Fordney) is entitled to
the distinction of standing alone in
his theory of what constitutes Re
publican and a Protectionist. Let me
say to him. that kind of protection is
not Republican protection. 1t is mo-
nopolistic protection.
Standing timber is not an infant in
erican forests continues at the pres
ent rapid rate, it may become such
in the form of reforestation or timber
culture. Much better than to compel
a resort to timber culture which is
costly, is to avoid the necessity of do
ing so by making lumber free of duty
and thus drawing upon better forested
countries for some material part of
our necessary supply. This would per-
NIT our own forests to recuperate from
the rapacity of the lumber millionaires.

latter, may be found somewhat diff
cult of conclusive proof. There may
be conditions under which a speed of
miles an hour could be rightly call
ed reckless driving-for instance in
passing a trolley car or other vehicles
from which persons are alighting-
and there may be other conditions I'M
der which a speed of 80 or more miles
an hour could rightly be called safe
driving-for instance, on a wide road,
nearly or quite devoid of other vehic-
ular traffic and of pedestrians. New
York's new law provides for the latter
conditions by CHASING a speed of so
miles, not as absolute but as pre-
sumptive' evidence of reckless driving.
The evident purpose is to cover rae
ing, for which the road is kept clear.
