 careless, and are spreading no lit-

 the people who ride the street cars , are using more care.
 A campaign to reduce splitting on : the sidewalks is to be inaugurated , immediately. Signs will be paint

The Holland Law.

The Holland law, which Is to be
tested In court, represents peanut
politics and pin-headed legislation in
its worst form. II II is not decided
that the law is invalid. the next gem
eral assembly should repeal IL. The
general assembly that passed the law
exhibited, in passing 1t. narrowness
that does not reflect public sentiment
in Kentucky or in any part OF the
south Governor Wilson's veto fol-
lowed the enactment of the measure
as a matter of course. Its re-enact-
ment over Ms veto was a blot upon
theireeord OF the general assembly.
The interest OF the whole popula-
tion' in the practical education of ne
groes Is such that all efforts that aim
at preventing the establishment of
training schools reflect discredit up
on thase who promote them and
equal ;discredlt upon those who sup
port the promoters. No matter what
its origin, this bill should have been
killed. II the court of apepale does
not decide ii unconstitutional all
that should be needed to secure its
repeal at the next session will be a
campaign OF publicity directing atten-
tion to its existence and purpose.
From persons who delight in cry
ing down the negro there Is an end
less flow of criticism of his poor
equipment and inability. A theme OF
constant discussion in Kentucky
homes is the general lack OF training
among negro women who offer them
selves for domestic service. The ed
ucational institution at which the
Holland bill Is aimed would train ne
gro girls to become useful domestics
and negro men to become efficient la
borers. The kind OF race prejudice
which manifests itself in opposition
to such an institution Is not entitled
to any tolerance among intelligent
persons, and 1t is not general among
persons who can lay claim to any de-
gree of intelligence. Usually 1t finds
lodgment in the brains of white per
sons whose education has been sadly
neglected. -Courier-Journal.

nothing involved in way of personal
gain. and at times when a smaller
man would have sulked In his tent.
There Is not a blot on his political
| 'scutcheon.
1t Is doubtful that there is in the
commonwealth a citizen who has had
finer training for public service. He
has occupied many positions of hon
or and trust, and with splendid eff
cheney. His experience has been
varied and extensive. In 1868. he
was presidential elector on the Dem
ocratic ticket; from 1869 to 1873,
he was a member of the legislature
from Madison county. and, without
opposition, was chosen speaker of
the house three successive terms In
1875, defeating John NJ. Harlan by
an overwhelming majority. he be-
came governor OF Kentucky. AS a
candidate for congress in 1884, he
carried eleven of thirteen counties,
and served in the lower house of
the national legislature for twelve
successive years. During this period
he was a member OF committees on
coinage and weights and foreign af-
fairs. and other important commit
tees. In 1892 ne was appointed by
the president as a commissioner to
represent the United States at the in
ternational monetary conference at
Brussels. His service in congress is
a part of the nations history. In
1902 he was elected to the United
States senate. AS is well known. he
was a brave and gallant Confederate
soldier. entering the army as a priv
ate and leaving 1t, after the surren-
der. as a lieutenant colonel.
In politics. Mr.. McCreary has never
been identified with factions or clans.
There is probably no public man with
fewer personal enemies. He is es-
teemed for his character. his qualif-
cations and his attractive personality
by political foeman and friend alike.
He would harmonic all differences
in the party; there is no Democrat
who could have a reason to oppose
him. and he would win votes from all
parties.
His nomination would reflect infin-
ite credit on wisdom of the party.
and his election would mean a for
ward step for the state along all
lines, He would restore to the office
its distinction and dignity. and be a
governor that every good Kentuckian
would delight to honor-Hopkins-
