Honorably and lnseparably
identified with the cause of Good
Roads in Kentucky is Judge BOs-
worth. OF the gre at Napoleon,
it is truly said, that his most val
ued services to the French people
were not glorious victories on a
hundred battle ields, but the
Code Napoleon, that made jus
tice so clear and easy of admins
tration: and the Good Roads,
which brought church and school,
factory and market, to every
mans door.
Joe Bosworth is one of the
young Napoleons of the Mount
aims. He wants to place culture
and prosperity in every ones
reach, by means of Good Roads.
Another term in the State Sen
ate will enable him to carry out
this purpose. 1t will yield to the
State profit, incaculabIe and
everlasting. 1t will make for a
brighter and better Kentucky.
1t will add to the efficiency of
every school, aud increase the
wealth as well as the value of
every bank in Kentucky.
Augustus Caesar found Rome
a city built of brick; he left it a
metropolis of translucent marble.
Joe Bosworth found Kentucky
intersected in large part by
mud roads. He will have it serv-
ed and strengthened by a Good
Roads system, rivalling the best
i'm Europe or America.
Having carried out his Good
Roads programme in the State

pies desire, go to Washington,
to serve in Congress the best in

for the continued ascendeEcy of
Republican craftsmanship.

we shall place the figure of Law,
regulating the races.
Governor Thatcher is cautious,
conscientious. and above all
kindly. The learned Monies
quieu declares that the Roman
Republic owed her wonderful
growth to the kindly considera-
tion given by her Representa-
tives TO far off, subject peoples.
The Spanish Americans. on aud
near the Zone, are not, of course,
subject race. But, differing
so much from Anglo-SaXon Amer
lea, they have to be dealt with
considerably, kindly, and, with
al, firmly. 10 deal thus with the
Latin race, no man better quail
fled than Maurice Hudson Thatch
err.
Governor Thatcher's heart
swells with benevOlence Ad-
dressing the Civil Service Reform
Committee of the Louisville
Woman's Club, Mr.. Thatcher
said the other day: I'VE are
slowly emerging from the semi
barLarous laws in relation to
prisons. For the past 100 years
/ the prison laws Of the State of
| Kentucky would be "a disgrace to
Monarchy. The policy has not
/ been to keep those who are evil
from those who are cOntaminat-
ed, or to awaken some spark of
manhood in the prisoner, but it
has been policy of rigorous pun
ishment. Penal and Char
liable institutions, above all
Others, where the inmates are
dependent upon the State should
not be subject to politics and
politicians. No rest should be
given Legislative bIdles till
these institutions are taken out
ofpolitics."
Reading these beautiful words
from Governor Thatcher's lexicon
of benehcence, we pause to think.
And 50 he grows from day to
day,
Not blind to errors devious
way,
Nor lost in some ethereal ray
TO sins deep pain.
He finds the flaw, describes
the cure,
Reveals the faults to make
them fewer,
He seeks with goodness to al
lure,
And cleanse the stain"
A man thus kindly, thus ben
evolent, thus broad minded,
whose heart opens so freely
and generously to the most
abandoned of the human family,
is, indeed, specially fitted for
promotion and honor.
No movement for human bet
| terment in the Zone will fail of
( Governor Thatcher's indorse-
ment. A firm believer in Amer
iCa's mission for the upliftment
of mankind, he will carefully,
/ fearIessly safeguard every Amer
lean interest. A place IN history
will he carve out for himself,
doing perpetual honor to Ken
/ lucky and to the Republic. The
/ Nation hands him five talents
Governor Thatcher will, in due
course, hand back to his country
not only those five talents now
given him, but five and twenty
more, won by fidelity, firmness,
foresight and forcefulness.

KENTUCKY SIGNALLY HONORED.

In the appointment of Hon. Nj.
II. Thatcher to the Governorship
of the Canal Zone, Kentucky is
signally honored. The position
is of not only national, but inter
national influence. And, In a
station so high, with duties so
transcendent, with the eyes of
mankind upon him, MCurice
Hudson Thatcher is fully quail
fled TO render service calling for
American commentator and
gratitude. A deep student, a
profound thinker, brainy man,
verify, with head and heart
thoroughly trained and eXquis-
itely cultured, Governor Thatch-
er has the force, the foresight,
the conservatism equal to lofty
station and exacting duty.
No mistake did Kentucky 5
most eminent statesman and
most beloved son, Hon. w. o..
Bradley commit i'll presenting
Governor Thatcher's name for
Presidential consideration in
connection with an Office so eX-
allied. Honor, has the President
done himself, in accepting Sena-
tor Bradley's suggestion and adj
vice. America needs her best
men in such posts as the Cover
norship of the Zone, wherein dip
lomatic and administrative ablll-
ty Of highest order is in constant
demand. We rejoice that Ken
lucky has the right material for
such distinction and such respon-
slbility. OF this right material,
none superior has this or any
other State, TO that found IN the
Hon. Maurice Hudson Thatcher.
Consider his office! Speaking
of the Panama Canal, Lord Kitch-
ener, of Khartoum, one of the
greatest military geniuses OF this
or any other age, says in an IN
terview with a Chicago newspa-
per writer:
Asked what he considered
the chief factor tending to inter
national peace the General re-
piled; Food. You see the Ma
tion whose food supply is cramp-
ed is restless and irritable. 1t
wants to expand-it wants what
the other fellow has. 1t was a
comfort to my heart as peace
lover, Il really am, you know,)
to see broad acres of food pro-
ducing land in your country and
TO hear that Canada could dupll-
cate it. The Panama Canal was
the best move your country ever
made. 1t will bring your East
and West close together and be a
big factor not only in commerce
but in its military future. "
General Kitchener character
lied the political aspect of the
Pacific as a hard question to
answer. He sighed deeply,
gazed out of the window for a
moment and replied slowly; Il
wish knew what the future
would bring forth for the Pacific.
1t is gratifying to us that the
Canal is being built at Panama,
for that helps TO simplify mat
tiers. But only by the movement
of nations in the future can we
tell what part the Pacific will

England's national and imper-
ial growth is due TO her choice

FOR TWO MORE BATTLESHIPS.
Their Construction Authorized
By the Hon. Q

Washington, d. c. (Speciai).-
By a decisive vote of 1872 to 10, IA
being present and not voting. the
two battleships to cost 100000
each. Thirty-three Democrats voted
for two battleships and "a Repub-
licans against the proposition.
This action was taken just prev
ious to the passage Of the Naval APP
preparation Bill, carrying about
$12S,037,6O2. This amount is about
$3,000.000 less than was recommend
ed by the Navy Department. In addi-
ton to the battleships the bill also
provides for the construction of two
feet Golfers and four submarine
boats.
AS amended on motion of Mr..
Fitzgerald, of New York, the two
battleships and two fleet GOLFERS
must be constructed by firms opera
ting under the eight hour law.
The committee on Naval Affairs
had reported in favor of authorizing
two battleships. Mr.. Tawney, Of
Minnesota, chairman of the Approp-
riations Committee, offered an
amendment providing for only one
battleship, while Mr.. Hobson propos-
ed an amendment providing for three.
Mr.. Hobson commended that three bat
tleships would give no increase, but
would provide only for the ordinary
depreciation in the naval force. By
an almost unanimous vote the House
rejected this proposition.
Mr.. Gronna, of North Dakota.
moved to strike out the authorization
for the construction of any battle
ships, viva voce vote showing that
there were not handful of advo-
Gates of a "no-battleship' policy,
Speaking in favor of his one bat
tleship plan, Mr.. Tawney reiterated
his statement that 70 per cent. of
the revenue of the country was be-
ing expended for wars that had pass
ed and for preparations for wars
to come. He declared that one bat
tleship was sufficient to maintain
the proper strength of the Navy.
Mr.. Thomas, of Ohio, proposed an
amendment for four battleships, but
the House voted it down almost
unanimously. Mr.. Tawney's amend
ment for. one battleship also was
lost by vote of 104 to 1873.
A point of order was sustained
eliminating from the bill authority
given the Secretary of the Navy for
the construction of million-dollar
feet collier, to be built on the Pa
cific Coast by private contract. so
that under existing law it will be
constructed in government navy
yard on the Pacific Coast. The APP
preparation of 100000 for one re-
pair ship was also stricken out on
point of order.

BIG HATS WEIGH LITTLE.
Why Railroads Have Raised Rates
On Them.

Washington, D. c. Especially ~
Women's hats have been growing
larger and larger every year. They
have also been growing lighter and
lighter in weight. So that a WON
ans hat weighs less and takes up
more room than 10 did 10 years ago.
A freight or express car will hold
only a tenth of the hats it once did,
and the carriers raised the rates to
make up the difference.
That is the answer of the railroads
and express companies to the COM
plant of the Millinery Jobbers' AS
ISOLATION, which was heard before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. 1t was purely question of
hats, into which the length of the
pins did not enter. The milliners
say the rates are too high and the
carriers say the evolution of the
headgear simply made them put on
the increase.
