Friendship

There is a path that all men can
travel-the path of absolute honesty.
There are no curves no grades, no
bridges, no chasms in that road
Just keep an eye on the roadbed and
all will be well.
We know a man who said, 81 never
knew dstrust until recently" He's
o be pitiej.
Be he rich as John D., he'll always be
broke if he keeps on thinking that
way
Friendship is an imperishable thing
There are mighty few in life. You
can buy some for a cheap song-but
the real thing only with its like.
So be staunchl If you are right
you are thrice armed.
Yea. armed hundred fold, against
selfishness, greed, avarice, envy and
the petty ills of life.
The sneak knows he's sneak. Do
MT think he is walking IN velvet.
Sooner or later he will walk the
plank.
You may not be there to see Lin, but
he will walk it, Everybody does who
is worthless.
We are,or nearly all Of us,ambitious.
We are seeking, not so much for our
solver as ours, honor, fame, riches,
surcease from trouble.
We ought to realize that this ideal
can come only from unselfshness, from
honesty, from appreciation, from the
"bear and forbear' spirit.
It's there in everyday life, in yours.
It's there if you so after it. Seek
it honestly, kindly, temperately, wise
lY.
God save US from the shams of life.
How the real heart aches for real
friends They are millions who feel
that way It's up to you to find them.

speech in the present political cam

he declared his unqualified support of

Mr.. Johnson's speech in full is as

Ladies and Gentlemen: At the out

the day it commenced than it is now,
and | believe il will grow less and
less so until the 18th of November.
The claim of sanctity made for the
Republican candidate for governor
with such a great flare and blowing
of trumpets has exploded because of
apparent insincerity upon his part. He
was the man who was going to stop
all the drinking, and the cussing and
the swearing; then he was to be
elected governor of Kentucky, and
finally. like Elijah, translated to
heaven. He is most to

is so good that everything around
him seems bad; if ii does no. today,
it will become so tomorrow But
what was bad to him the Inst day
he started out, is worse now, and
what was good then is not quite so
good now.

Wickliffe, KY, Oct. THE third
real sensation of the campaign between
former Senator lanes b. McCreary nd

Conduct OF O'Rear.

Senator McCreary said the conduct of
his Republican opponent in that mem
orable meeting was of such a nature
that he did not care to comment on it
to any great length, unless it should be
denied, when he would be ready to
furnish the names of two prominent
men of Kentucky who were in the con-
ference, to prove his assertion. He
said, however, that he believed the peo-
pie of Kentucky would give the matter
much thought between now and the
November election and would show by
their votes that they did not countenance
such action on the part of man seek
ing the highest Office within the gift Of
the people of the state.
