can be more imperative, for bet
roads, and it rests with the leg
slative department to provide
wise laws under which the work
can be done.
The primary election system
should have a thorough revision
so as to give the man of merit as
well as the man of money, an op-
portunity to servessthe people in
official position.
The State must be re-district-
ed, and this should be done with
elaboration, andswith a regard
for the rights of all the people.
The questioned taxation, and
nothing is closer to the people,
will necessarily occupy much at
tention, as the sentiment is very
general, that existing laws are
not what they should be.
The county unit bill, to the
enactment of which the two
leading parties are committed,
but which has heretofore been
studiously evaded, should, to
make local option effective, be-
come a law.
We will not further enumer-
ate-yet with all this and much
more, there seems to be great
and growing indifference in the
public mind as to how and by
whom we shall be represented.
Any body who wants the place it
seems, is good enough. If a
fellow has cheek enough to seek
the place, he is all right to go to

While in Louisville some weeks
ego, it was ourspleasure to meet
Hon. w. H. Able, a gentleman
who has passed,the half century
mark in the activities of life, but
whose heart still. beats in hearty
accord with the old time, honest
and open political sspolicies true
Jeffersonian Democracy. In
fact, our meeting was a pleasant
one, and in conversation we
found him to be a polished gen.
tleman, and a Democrat whose
service has been acknowledged
and appreciated by the thousands
of Democrats in Jefferson county.
We feel that it is not an in
justice to him to say that he was
elected Assessor of Jefferson
county, also served as deputy
Sheriff, and afterward elected
High Sheriff by more than five
thousand votes. Then again he
was chosen as the party nominee
to represent the largest legislative
district in the State, the eleventh
md twelfth wards in Louisville.
He was elected and discharged
his duties with fidelity. Later
he represented the National Gov
eminent as special Indian and
Dispensing agent in twenty-nine
states and territories. Last, but
not least, he was elected Pres
ident of the Jefferson county
Democratic Club, the largest in
the State. Now, it is a fact that
many country Democrats regard
the Dem ocracy of the cities as
merely policy people, that the
leaders are arrayed against the
country. Such an opinion is err.
roneous, and comes from a mis-.
understanding. A true Dem.
ocrat is true, in or out of a city
No man could doubt the Democ
racy or w. H. Able, no mar
would say that he is a policy ar
ficle, but the very opposite, al
old time Democrat-a Democra
who stands for principles ant
not for policies, who believes il
an open, honest deal, and VIII,
would not compromise with dis
honor to win in any battle. Mr.
Able is an outspoken, activ,
friend of our townsman, Mr.
Garrett. FIR Attorney General
