Mr. Voter Paste This in Your Hat.

A man who is not public
spirited enough to subscribe
for and read his home paper
and who is too close listed to
announce his candidacy in
the official organ of his
county will not make a good
officer, no matter whether it
be the Office of County Judge
or Constable he aspires to
fill.
Watch the columns of the
Courier for announcements
and take your choice from
among them. They are bet
ter timber than the men who

selves.

The Farmers Institute

The Farmers Institute,
which was held here Friday
and Saturday, the LIST and
End Inst while not as well
attended as it should have
been, was a decided improve
ment over the former ones
held in Morgan County.
The attendance was fairly
good and the interest shown
by those present was all that
could be desired. 1t is pas
sing strange that the farm
ers of eastern Kentucky will
remain so Indifferent to their
own interests. Every tax
payer in the State contrib
utes his quota toward de-
fraying the expenses of this
work and every man, WON
an and child has a right to
attend the lectures and to
participate in the discussions
and when any man gets the
idea that he knows all about
farming into his Uranium, he
becomes then and there a
fossil and a positive detri-
ment to the community N
which he fives'1i
The Organization of the
Boys Corn Club and the pos

getting a sub experiment
station will, we believe, be
a great stimulus to the in
stitute work in this county
and it is our opinion that the
meeting next year will be a
"rouser" and that much
good will result therefrom.
A different line Of work
from that usually followed
was adopted at this meeting.
The printed program was
not followed strictly, but the
members were asked if they
wanted to hear any particu-
lar subject discussed. In
this way the work was of g
more practical nature anc
better suited to local condi'
tiOns.
The director, Mr.. Patrick,
and his co-workers, Mr..
Kane and Mr.. Cope are very
enthusiastic workers and ad.
vanced many ideas that vii.
be of practical benefit to the
farmers if they will only uti-
lie them.

Kentucky Game and Fish Nearly
All Gone.

Unless something is done in
the near future to prevent the
wholesale destruction of fish and
game in ond out of season, Kene
lucky fields will be bare Of birds
md streams without fish. Even
now there is but little use for the
gun or pole and line, and the
scarcity Of game and fish is a
constant inducement to violation
of law in the shooting of game
out of Season and in the use of
dynamite and se;nes.
Two things are necessary for
the preservation Of the game and
fish. One of these is the pro-
lection of the game and fish now
existing, and the other is the
stocking of streams and fields by
means Of fish hatcheries and
game preserves.
The killing off of the game
was q result Of a prejudice
against game laws, based on the
belief that game laws were adj
Is,.,ss,,ss.r;;--,als1;E e. tl,.a,.hen.0as -
city hunters but The people now
realize that good game laws are
for the benefit Of everybody.
The Kentucky Fish and Game
Protective Association is now
trying to get every hunter and
fisherman in the State interested
in the passage of better laws
along this line. One OF its pans
is for the State to charge a IL
cense of one dollar per year to
every man who hunts on other
mems land, and to charge non
residents OF Kentucky at least
ten dollars per year for hunting
in this State. Similar laws are
now and have for years past been
in force III every State in the
I Union except Kentucky and about
three other States.
! Under such a law a sufficient
fund could be raised to employ
men to see that the fish and
game laws are enforced, and tC
provide stocks Of fish and game
for every field and stream in the
State. Of course, if a mar
doesen't care dollars worth
about hunting he wouldn't have
to have a license, and the burden
would fall on those who woulC
be glad to pay so small a sum fol
so much pleasure.
One of the big benefits to b.
derived by the farmers would BE-
tie enforcement Of the posting
laws and keeping trespassers of
of their lands. Under the pres
ent conditions, a great man!
farmers allow themselves to bC
imposed upon rather than drive
hunters away, but a paid game
warden would have no such fee
ings in the matter
\ In order to make the employ
ment of warCens non- political, i
is proposed to put tie employ

TALES FASCINATE
Negroes Flock to Court Room
Where the Stewart Assault
Case is On Trial

Fascinated by shocking taxes,
large crowd attened the opening ses-
sion of the Stewart examination in
the superior court room this morning
Justice Seton presided The state
rested at noon and the defense started
early in the afternoon.
W. NJ. Stewart, part negro and part
Mexican is charged with incest, and
the principal witnesses are his three
daughters, thirteen, fifteen and sew
enteen years old respectively. Their
testimony was direct and connected
and they did not seem swayed by fear
Of the colored mob in attendance.
The occurrances allegel extended for
three years back.
Stewart has about thirty witnesses
to character They are expected to
testify that he is a model citizen, re-
ligious, and faithful voter, He lives
two miles east Of the city.
The court room was filed this morn
ing, and only few white men appear
ed. A few negro women were in at
tendance AS usual in such cases, the
negroes line up with the defendant,
VINO will probably emerge from the
hearing as something Of a hero.

NEGRO VOTE TRAFFIcKERS

OleT Indications Of Rush

million county grand jury this week
threatens to lift itself out Of the
abyss into which it has been plunged
through its own mismoves and the
skillful maneuyerings Of the politi-
clans and sweep the political filth
and litter from Speaker Cannons
front door
Detectives reputed to be in the en-
ployee of the grand jury, it is said
have uncovered a $4,000 Jack pot
fund which was distributed at the
November election as soothing sir
up to country newspaper owners and
country politicians who manipulate
the votes in their various districts
This 100000 jackpot fund, it is
charged,was but small item Of the
general organization fund spent for
workers and the lining UP OF the
vote.
In each Of the counties Of Kanka-
kee, Iroquois and Edgar, it is charg-
ed, practically as much money was
spent as in Vermillion county

break is made among this element
there will be a general flocking to
the court house to confess.
