Can ii be true that the flying ma
chine and the perpetual motion ma
chine are to come simultaneously to
bless the people Of this old world?
Well, il the news coming from the
capital city of this commonwealth
be true, it looks just that way. When
the perpetual motion machinery is
mode complete, that is if it has any
machinery about the thing. 1t will be-
then that one may just climb on, go to
sleep and fly over all creation while
they sleep-nothing to do or be dome
but fly and sleep, the machine just
going on ad llbitum, aid infinltum.
Here is about the perpetual motion,
and If there is no mistake about it,
and if it does not happen that the

WHY SHOULD O'REAR RESIGN?

The Democratic press OF Kentucky
lead by the CONVERSATIONAL and Times
is showing symptoms Of serious dis
turbance because Judge O'Rear does
not resign his position on the Court
OF Appeals bench in onder to- run for
governor The only man we ever
heard of who resigned such a position
to run for another office was Judge
Alton B. Parker, CT New York, who
ram for President some years ago on
the Democratic ticket and who was
about the worst beaten man who ev-
er ran for office and has never held
one since.
| But, reallyywhat sense is there in
making such demand of Judge O'Rear?
What Democrat in Kentucky ever re-
signed one office to rum for another?
Mr.. S. w. Hag@, the Dein,cratlo
nominee for governor four years ago
ran the race Through auS held the
position of STATE Auditor, and we pre-
sumo drew salary all the time and
we have never heard of Its being
! turned back into the State Treasury.
AT the same time and during the
same campaign, Goveror Beckham
was the Democratic nominee for Uni
ted States Senator and did not resign.
Some years ago Judge Cantrill, who
was Circuit Judge of the Frankfort
District, ram for Judge df the Court
of Appeals and did not resign as
Circuit Judge and drew his salary
as Judge of the Court of Appeals
for two years and during that time
nsvar sat in the court day or tried
case. But to come down nearer to
date, the Honorable Ben Johnson,
came to Kentucky from Washington,
last spring and for several months
was an active cand.dade for governor.
! He did not resign his position as
member the Hoouse of Representa-
tives and would not have dome so bad
had he been nominated by the DEM
ocrats. Hon. Ollie James, the pres
emit Democratic nominee for United
States Senator, lis a member of the
House of Representative and has
shown no symptoms of resigning. Prof
Barksdale Hamlet, the present Demo-
cratic nominee for Superintendent
of Public instruction, DIS also Super
inhendent of City Schools ait Hopkins
Willie. Why not Call for his resigna-
ton along with the others? 1t would
be just as sensible TO require amy
officer to resign his position to run
for Reelection. The Circuit Judge OF
this district was a candidate for re-
election and did not resign. The same
may he said of every county or dis
tncit officer who runs for re-eisctlon.
In view nf the past performances OF
it's Representatives, 1t is in very bad
taste for amy Democrat in Kentucky
to demand that Judge O'Rear resign
his position ON the Count of Appeals
because he happens to be the Republi-
can nominee for governor, and there
Is no sense or reason in such de-
mand from any person. although
they might be in better position to
sugg st it.

1t is amusing TO notice the dnsin-

one OF these boiling Democrats who

nized also that the men who consti-
tuted these committees-represe
as he had no doubt they would, sub
stantially all of the respective securi
ties-would be of very grea, help to
the company and to the court.
Mr.. Fuller suggested that on account
of the number of the holders the or
ganixat ton of such committees offered
the only practical way for the Sc
curity- holders to exercise their rights
in cooperating with the officials of the
company and the court in working out
a readjustment of the company's af-
fairs. Mr.. Fuller said that there were
more than 5000 preferred stockholders,
and undoubtedly a still greater num-
Der of bondholders.
The counsel and officers OF the com
pany have been hard at work upon
plans for the readjustment of the COM
pany and It's affairs ever since the
opinion of the Supreme Court was
filed. Mr.. Fuller said that any plans
considered must first be presented TO
the court for consideration and pos
sibly ratification
The chief counsel intimate that the
plans or suggestions of the company
Itself are not yet definite and com
