Turkey has one first class cruiser,

OH! MYi

As . general rule the man who
calls himself the only nonpartisan
jurist, but needs an adjective to
qualify the word, is not what he
claims to be at all, but a wolf in
sleeps clothing. Does not this apply
to Judge O'Rear, who is now in
politics over his head? Listen to
(Hhat he has to say and then give the
Xnbject some sober thought:
"a nonpartisan judiciary implies
two propositions, as conceive it..
One is that the Judges shall be nom
mated and elected without respect to
party utilization or party emblem
upon the ballot. That is our posi-
ton. The other is that Judge of
a court ought not to participate, as
a politician, in the politics of the
country, while exercising the duties
of his office. agree to that propo-
sition with all of my heart. There
has not been a day since I became
a candidate for Governor that 1 have
ventured to sit in judgment upon
any mans rights, nor will l, so long
as I am a candidate for office in
Kentucky. I believe IN a nonparti-
san judiciary, and whatever else may
befall me in this race, you may be
sure that the record of your highest
court for keeping its hands out of
politics and keeping politics out OF
that court, shall be maintained at all
hazards"
This from man who has de-
clined to perform the duties OF the
high office to which he was elected
will not commend him for the Gov
ernorship. Drawing pay and not
serving the State is an offense that
should not be forgotten by the tax
payers, who should also remember
his threat to usurp the powers Of the
legislative, judicial and executive
branches of the State government.
This alone stamps him as danger
GUS man and one not to be again
trusted.

HENNESSY- DRISCOLL
Popular Couple Given Big
Send-Off by Their
Friends.

Miss Margaret A. Hennessy and
Jerome ]. Driscoll were united in
marriage at st. Johns church on
Tuesday morning with nuptial
mass at 80 O'Clock, the ceremony
being performed by Rev. DR.. Schulz
mann. John M. Hennessy, a brother
of the bride, and Miss Katie Dris-
coll, sister of the groom, acted as
attendants. The bride and brides
maid wore white embroidered
dresses, the brides veil being of
white tulle, and she carried bou-
quet of bridal roses. After the cere-
mony a wedding breakfast was
served at the home Of the brides
mother, Mrs. Winifred Hennessy,
1919 East Breckenridge street, after
which the happy couple left for a
tour of New York, Philadelphia and
other Eastern points. The large
crowd of friends and relatives who
thronged the church helped to en-
liven the occasion by decorating the
horses and carriage with large
printed streamers and cards, and in
addition followed them to the depot
with a "rube" band. They are ex-
pected to return about October H.,
when they will begin housekeeping.

SEEKS COVER.

Didn't Judge o'Rear Guido him
self in extending the olive branch to
John w. McCulloch, President of the
Kentucky Distillers' Association? His
eagerness to palliate the wounds he
inflicted is a sample of three-ply
nerve and double-decked incon-
sistency. 1t is something like taking
a healthy punch at neighbor and
then telling him what a good fellow
he is. The man who breaks his
promises before election will not
keep them afterward. Voters should
remember this.

PRAISE FOR HARMON.

The State % Ohio will soon hold
constitutional convention, in which
Catholics are greatly Interested,
both from the standpoint of good
citizenship in general and for other
reasons of special Importance to
them in particular. Among these
latter is the discussion which has
been raised as to the clause in the
existing constitution exempting re-
ligious and charitable institutions
such as churches, hospitals, educa-
tional establishments and the like
from taxation, in which other
denominations as we'll as Catholics
have a natural interest.
The Catholic Columbian, in noting
this and kindred topics on the taps
in this campaign, which promises to
be a historical one, says it is inter-
esting and reassuring to Catholics
and all lovers of good government
and sound public morals that, at this
important juncture in the affairs of
the Commonwealth, the office Of
Chief Executive of the State of
Ohio is held by a man whose SPLEEN
did record both in public and private
life is a guarantee that the great
Influence of that high office will be
on the side of due consideration and
favorable action toward the higher
interests concerned in this matter Of
the amendment of the constitution.
Although Gov. Harmon is a strict
Baptist, he is nevertheless a man of
the broadcast and most tolerant
views in matters of religion and a
sturdy champion of the rights of
American citizenship, irrespective OF
race or religion. From the Catholic
point of view the Governor has, ever
since he first assumed office as
official head Of the State of Ohio,
been eminently fair. just and i'm
partial. He has treated his Catholic
as we'll as all other creeds and classes
of his fellow-citizens with great
consideration and eminent fairness.
It is not too much to say that there
is positively no State Government in
the country under which Catholics
have been more generously recog-
nized than under the administration
Of Gov. Harmon. Responsible execu-
tive positions have been given to
many we'll known Catholic men OF
the State and 1t is a pleasure to be
able to read that in no instance has
his favor been misplaced, but that
In every case Catholic employees have
ably and faithfully co-operated with
him in making his administration
one that the people Of Ohio are
proud Of and glory In.
