Queer Beliefs.

The Figian canniba's emotions
have reference for the greater part
TO food, so he worships the god
Matawaloo, who has eight stomachs
and is ALWAYS eating.
The Tengans have very curious
dogma to account for a day and
might being twenty-four hours long.
1t used to be less; the sun used to
go down too quick. So one day a
man caught it with a moose. and it
had to 60 slower thereafter.
The ancient Peruvians believed
that the sun once came down to the
earth and laid two eggs and then
went back up again. From these
two eggs man and woman sprung,
hence that yellow streak in the hu-
man race.

no full moon. January had two

LOOKS LIKE A WINNER TO US.

Elsewhere in this issue appears
the official announcement of
Judge F. d, Sampson for the
nomination for Circuit Judge of
this the 34th Judicial District of
Kentucky.
Judge Sampson is in every way
qualified to fill this position with
credit to himself and with honor
TO the district.
For the past sixteen years he
has been q member of the Knox
county Bar and from the very
first has been recognized as
among the most able members of
the bar, and his large practice
and remarkable success has won
for MIN a reputation as a lawyer
throughout the entire State.
In 1905 he was elected County
Judge of Knox County without
opposition and served to the end
of his term to the entire salts
faction of the entire county. He
was urged to make the race sec
ond time but he declined on &C
count of pressing law business,
and has never sought or asked
for any other office.
The pressure and influence of
his friends, both in Knox and
Mountain advocate. (Barbourville, Ky.) 1904-1935, 1910-12-30

Whitley counties, has caused him
to become a candidate for this
nomination, and he is in the race
to win, and we predict that he
will win by large majority.
From the very time that the
committee fixed the date of the
primary bis friends have been
earnestly at work in his behalf,
and from present indications he
will receive practically the entire
vote of the district even if some
other candidate should decide to
enter the race.
Judge Sampson is man of firm
conviction and possesses courage
and manhuod sufficient to decide
for himself any matter that
might come before him without
being-infiuenced by relatives or
associates when matters of law
are evolved. Judge Sampson
knows the law and if elected,
which he is sure to be will see
that it is properly enforced with
out fear or favor.
A vote for Judge Sampson is a
vote for the betterment of the
district. Don't fail to vote for
him In the primary, February 4,
10l1.

q Startling Report

1t is somewhat amusing to Sc,
how the Democratic press is irving
to stir up strife within the ranks o
the Republican party. A dispatch
to+he Courier Journal this week re.
ports a breech between Caleb Pow.
ers and Charles Finley over the
Judicial Primary, when in fact, there
is no truth whatever in the report.
Mr., Powers has gone to Washington
on some important business matters
and is taking no hand in the Pri-
mary, and as yet there. is no other
candidate in the race against Judge
Sampson. so that it is evident that
the reported rupture between these
two distinguished Kentucky States
men is all bosh and originated in
the fertile brain of some Democratic
politician whose wish was the faith.
er to the thought.
1t will take more than a Demo-
cratic report to convince us that
such report is true.

THH FIGHT FOR LOCAL OPTION.
Governor Crothers Declares II Mas
Mistake For Legislature Not

The Anti.Saloon League has made its
anal legislative report upon the work Of
the recent session. II shows that on the
vote Of SO to 48 by which the Statewide
local option bill was defeated all the
delegates from eleven counties calvert,
Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Frederick,
Garrett, Howard, Kent, Montgomery,

and all except one man each from the
following counties, Talbot (Rhodes), Car

Worcester Murray absent) voted for it.
In Hartford county DR.. Jarrett and Mr..
Osborn supported it and Messrs. Archer
and Sullivan voted against it. We quote
as follows from the Superintendent
report:
1.-THE failure to pass the local option
bill this time Is no ground for discour-
agement. In Ohio and Illinois the
League was defeated in three Legislative
sessions, yet today more than four.ffths
Of the territory of these States is dry
under the legislation finally secured. The
Maryland Local Option bill has only
been beaten twice and after showing SO
strong that the Governor himself came
out in an interview declaring it WAS 9
mistake for the Legislature to fail to pass
It. This statement Is . most encourag-
ing recognition Of the strength of local
option sentiment and will compel the
Democratic party to nominate satisfac-
tory candidates and get right on the local
option question or else give winning
issue to the opposition. The attempt
which failed, because tie Governor re-
fused 10 approve. il, to prohibit asking
candidates where they stand on public
questions, shows how the liquor interests
dread the Leagues activity.
The Anti.Saloon League is not trying
to defeat or injure the Democratic party.
II 10 not the business of the Anti-Saloon
League TO disturb the political balance or
defeat the majority party anywhere, no
matter which it is, but to make an issue
90 clear that the politicians will under
stand that the majority party can remain
such only by representing public SEM
timent.
The defeat this time, while disap-
pointing, win simply strengthen the
League. It has proven conclusively the
folly Of ssv0ting for Legislators who are
not known to favor local option. The
refusal on the part Of the Baltimore City
and County delegates to pass Local
Option bill for those counties which
wanted It has shown the county members
