ATTEMPTED ARSON.

Within less than a week two
attempts have been made to burn
the buildings on South Maysville

Gently occupied Gin part) as a bar
Der shop. The fact that the struc-
ture on Mr.. REFS lot is old, di-
lapidated, insignificant, and not in
keeping in architecture with all
the other buildings on the block
affords no excuse to any one to
destroy it by fire. Burning it is
no joke. The guilty should be
punished. In this issue is offered
a reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of the person or per-
sons burning or causing it to be
burned.
If Mr.. Refs voluntarily decides
to tear away the buildings and
erect in their stead a modern up
to-date business block (which we
hope he will do) his action will be
highly pleasing to our citizens,
and the new building would be an
ornament to the street and we
hope would be a paying invest
ment.

has been yet and the Democratic
party in the nation shows greater
capacity to win the popular con-
fidence, the position of a Repre-
sentative in Congress is OF but
minor Importance at present,
whereas the position of Governor
of Kentucky is of supreme i'm
portance to the State.
That there may not, however,
be any possible misunderstanding
in the future,-not on the part of
Senator Thomas, between whom
and us there could be no misunder-
standing, our friendship having
extended over-bv Jove, when we
think of it, quarter of century,
but on the part OF others, we
do not mean this as a plea to
Senator Thomas to make the race
for Governor, or cOmmlttal or
our support to him if he does
make the race.
When his sense of duty and
his ambition unite upon his future
political course we feel confident
we shall be among those who will
earnestly strive to advance his am
bition to serve the State. But
that is a matter for the future,
not for the present"
We want for Governor man
who is honest enough to give his
opponent and the Republican party
a square deal: man who is self
respecting and decent, who rever-
ences God. who is not tool of the

GRAND JURY.

The grand jury convenes next
Monday. Ali good citizens that
know of any violations of the law
should report them to the repre-
sentatives of the Commonwealth,
50 that the guilty can be brought
to Justice. We hear there is a
good deal of shooting being done
on our public highways. This is
a dangerous and annoying practice
that should nr broken up. We
are also informed that numbers OF
BOYS under age are being sold
whisky, especially country boys.
Parents owe it to themselves, THEN
children and community to report
these things. The officers cannot
know of all these violations of the
law and good citizens should fee
sufficiently interested to render al
the aid they can.

was not printed. AS soon as the

promptly ordered others. We are

A SQUARE DEAL,

Commenting on some recent ac-
ton of members of the Democratic
Committee, the Midway Clipper
says there should not be the faint
est suspicion of unfair means being
used in the interest of any candi-
date. The Democratic party has
suffered much from such 'snap'
methods, and the leaders should
have learned a lesson from past
experiences.

LAMLESSNESS.

|
mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love, so as Circuit
Court approaches the thoughts OF
SOME young men and older too
turn to their previous sowing and
are anxious to know what the har-
vest will be. So far as we know
the conditions IN this community
are very complimentary and en-
couraging along some lines. Much
of the praise is due Judge A. w.
Young, who has shown his ability
to do things. The investigations
by the CONFERENCE.-The Attorneys,
Conner and White, and their able
assistants, Thomas and Senff,
coupled with the hearty support
of the iuries, deserve much praises'
The law should be supreme; it
should be respected and obeyed.
Violators of the law should be adj
monished. and if need be made to
know, that violation thereof is no
Joke. We confidently expect a
continuance of faithful service.
A community is impoverished,
Inundated, and dishonored when
virtue is despoiled, the marital
vow ignored, young manhood
lured to the gamblers den or sa-
loon. We exceedingly regret to
know that several boys or real
young men are to answer at our
Circuit Court the charge of gamb-
ling. Any clemency shown them
should he preceded by a promise
by them that they will not again
be so thoughtless or vicious. They
should be made to feel what they
are doing; and whatever is done
should be done PUBLICLY in open
court, not by SECRET AGREEMENT.
Some highly respectable fathers
and mothers will be surprised to
see the names of THEIR sons on
the list.
For the present we withhold
their names from these columns,
hoping that word of sympathy
and kindly warning will lead them
to nobler living. Voluntary ie-
quests have been made of us at
other courts not to publish names
of boys arraigned for gambling,
accompanied by the promise that
they would not again engage In
such conduct. Their request has
been cheerfully and hopefully
granted by US. We want to see
the pure, good and beautiful pre-
vail.
"Old hands at the business"
and other violators have warned,
threatened and refused to speak to
us because, in doing what we be-
lieved to he our duty and for their
and the community's welfare, we
have investigated and reported
evil deeds and published court
proceedings, laying aside consid-
erations of personal interest and
safety, leaving the result with Him
who rules over the affairs Of his
children.

CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

CONGRESSlONA AL KACE.
The Lexington Herald in speak
inc of the prospective candidates
for Congress in that district, makes
very favorable mention of two
friends of the writer, one of whom
is Senator Claude Thomas who
has with such distinction repre-
scented the county of Montgomery
with Clark and Bourbon. Tue
Lexington Herald says:
Mr.. Kimball has announced
that he will not be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination. 1t
has been published that Judge
William Rogers Clay, Commits
sioner of the Court of Appeals, is
inclined to make, and the predic-
ton is freely made that he will
make. the race for Congress. 1t
has also been urged that Claude
NJ. Thomas, of Bourbon, should
enter the contest and the intima-
ton, if not the direct charge, made
that Mr.. Thomas has a pledge
from Mr.. Cantrill that he will not
be a candidate for reelection.
Whether there are any other pros
pective candidates we do not know,
and we write this without con-
sultation with any candidate, or
the friends of any candidate.
This is an overwhelming Demo-
cratic district. A vast prepon-
derance of the wealth, intelligence
and character of the district is
Democratic.
The nomination is equivalent
to an election, and it ought to be
secured in such a waw that no
Democrat can have the right to
complain. and no Republican
grounds to condemn the methods
by which it is obtained The
Democratic party has suffered
previously in the past from the
charge, sometimes too well found
ed, that the power resident in the
committees of the party, which
ought to be used solely for the
good of the party, was used for
the benefit of individuals, We
are gradually getting away from
that custom; We hope that the con-
duct Of this campaign will dem
onstrata that we have gotten en-
tircIy beyond any such custom.
Judge Clay would make a.
most excellent Congressman and
his candidacy would do much to.
allav the animosities which have
existed between certain factions in
the Democratic party in this Con-
grcssionaI District. He had long
experience at Washington as the
private secretary Of Senator Beck:
as Commissioner of the Court of
Appeals he has proven his capaci-
ty for labor: his decisions have.
demonstrated his learning: he
would represent the Ashland Dis.
trict with high credit and be of
service.
Senator Thomas has won for
himself a Statewide reputation
during the session of the Legisla-
ture. There are strong indica-
tons that such pressure will be
brought to bear upon him to
make the race for the Democratic
nomination for Governor that he
will not be able to resist. He
would make a most excellent Gov
ernor. as he would also a most
creditable Representative, having
the capacity, learning and training
to fill either Office with distin-
guished credit.
I'VE would rather see him Gov
ernor than see him Representa-
tive. Unless Cannonism is de-
stroyed more thoroughly than it
