THE THIRD HOUSE AND
ITS CONSTANT MENACE

One OF the worst menaces of the
public welfare to-day is the third
house" which convenes with the as
sembling of almost every legislative
body. Its members are the lobby
lists and bribe-givers who stand like
evil angels at the side of many hon
est legislators. Their presence is
both recognized and felt, but their
adjustment is one of the serious
problems that confront the law
making bodies of the present time.
-[Hartford Herald.
Perhaps the legislature has never
really been in earnest about abolish
ing the third house" Whenever
a majority of the House and Senate
decide to put the third house" out
of business, they will find some
way of doing it. OF course there
are lot of fellows who get them
selves elected to the General Assem-
bly, because of the third house"
They want to get to the capital in
the capacity of a law-maker for no
other purpose than to reap the re-
ward which comes to the wretch
who places money above principle.
They care nothing for the welfare
of the people they represent. They
possess no honor except the kind
that exists among thieves. For
few dollars they will sell out the
rights of the people to a grinding
They know no code Of
honor. and treachery to their con-
stituency is the thing they barter.
OF course these rascals would |
find some way to "be seen" by those |
who want to buy up the peoples
like a stock dealer
buys up a drove of hogs or herd |
Of cattle. but to drive the third |
house" out of the capitol building |
Dr. into the penitentiary, would at
least put an end to the brazen pub
lefty with which the bribe-giver
plays his infamous vocation.-[Ow-

MADE TWO ATTEMPTS
TO LYNCH NEGROES
But FaiIed-BIacks Had Killed
Policeman Who Arrested
Them.

Lebanon, KY, May Police,
man John Robey was killed by Jas.
Buckner and Jesse Smith, negroes
early to-day, when he was taking
them to the workhouse. Smith held
the policeman while Buckner stab
bed him IS times. Smith was caught
this afternoon hiding in a negro
cabin in the West End. A mob
sought to lynch him, but Police
Chief Vowel and Sheriff Burhan
rushedth prisoner to Louisville.
Buckner was captured this even
ing and lodged in Jail. A crowd
stormed the prison, and while the
Mayor, County Attorney and prom
inent citizens appealed to the mob
to let the law take its course, Buck
ner was slipped out and also rushed
to Louisville.
Mayor Spalding called the City
Council in special session early this
morning and a reward was offered
for the capture of the negroes. Gov
ernor Wilson later increased the
amount.
All day crowds were parading the
streets and for a time a race riot
was feared.

So long as the Government of the
United States stands as tacit part
ner of the liquor interests in their
nefarious business, Just so long will
the Prohibition question remain
much vexed problem in this coun-
try. The Government virtually says
to the liquor man I'VE know your
business is demoralizing; that it
fills penitentiaries, poorhouses and
insane asylums and creates MANY
thousands of widows, orphans and
paupers, but If you will only give
us s1.1O on every gallon of your
product, you can just go ahead"
The bargain is a mutual financial af-
fair. Liquor will continue to be
bought and sold, more or less, so
long as the process goes on with
Governmental sanction.

BRYAN MAKING HEADWAY
MAY BE "RECALLED"

Keep your eye on Bryan" said
a shrewd Democrat the other day.
Those who heard the suggestion
have done so, and they find that Mr..
Bryan is making great strides. The
Nebraskan is a good politician now
"a cunning judge of popular SEN
timent and a keen forecaster. He
does not work wholly in the open,
exposed to the enemy's bullets. The
Democratic situation changes daily
in these glorious times, and hour by
hour it is apparent that the wheel
of Bryan's fortune is turning up
ward.
When a scrutiny is made of the
job lot of progressive plans propos-
ey by reformers of all parties, it is
discovered that most of these ideas
were proposed by Mr.. Bryan long
ago. If the credit is to go to the
inventor, progressives will have to
make way for Mr.. Bryan. If the
radicals really mean business, they
will turn to the man who deals in
radicalism by wholesale, and not by
retail.
Many of Mr.. Bryan's friends are
for the recall. They may decide to
apply recall to him, and make him
come forward again. AS events are
shaping themselves, it may be in Mr..
Bryan's power not only to prevent
the nomination of any Democrat he
opposes, but to nominate the man
he prefers. But, like some other
great commanders, he takes the
sense of his followers, and If he
should find them stubbornly oppos
ed to his own choice, and determin-
ed to name Bryan himself-wcll,
the people ought to have the right

A Wise Selection.

The school board met last Friday
and reelected Prof. G. c. Justus as
principal of Ballard County High
School for the next two years. This
is a very wise selection. The term
now drawing to close, under the
management of Prof Justus, has
been the best managed and most
thoroughly taught of any In the his-
tory of our school. We are certain
ly glad the Board of Education de-
cided to keep Mr.. Justus at the
head of our school. We predict for
1t much greater success during the
next two wears than in the past
