Able Young Men Are Offering for
the Many Legislative
offices.
Politicians Are Resting, But the
War VIII Soon BE
Waged.
ABLE CHANCELLOR IS DESIRED

The Democrats Of Kentucky will
assemble in every legislative district
in the State at O'Clock today to
elect delegates to the State conven-
tion which will assemble at Masonic
Theater, Louisville, on Tuesday.
Louisville and Jefferson county are
entitled to 131 votes. Able men
from each district and county will
attend the mass convention on Tues
day. and the platform that will be
drafted will represent the will Of
the majority.
Whether that platform will return
to the liberal ideas of Jefferson and
Jackson or whether It will ape the
Republicans in curtailing personal
liberty and indorsing the centraliza-
ton OF power in government by
commission none can tell. 1t is to
be hoped that the delegates will re-
member that they are Democrats.
Meanwhile politics is tagging and
the majority Of politicians are rest
ing up preparatory to opening the
campaign. After the platform has
been adopted by the Democrats next
Tuesday look out for war
Young men and able men are
candidates for the Legislature in
, Louisville and Jefferson county
Luther Owens will undoubtedly be
returned from the Forty-fourth dis
trict. which embraces the county
outside Louisville, and it seems that
Charles Knight will be. without OPP
position in the Forty-fifth district,
which includes the First ward In
the Forty-sixth district, the Second
and Third wards, former Magistrate
Adam SPAIN is making a runaway
race.
In the Forty-seventh district Lee
R. Curtis, young and energetic
attorney. formerly. in the law office
of O'Neal & O'Neal. is the aspirant
for the nomination. Peter Lee Ath-
erton promises to have a walk over
in the Forty-eighth district, which
is composed of the Sixth and Seventh
wards. So far no Democratic aspir-
ant has appeared in the Eighth and
Ninth wards. William McNally will
be an easy winner in the Fiftieth
district, which takes in the Tenth
ward. and Samuel L. Robertson will
be returned from the Fifty-first dis
trict. which embraces the Eleventh
and Twelfth wards, Democratic
stronghold.
The Democrats must name a
strong man. man who has the con-
fidence of the people to make the
race for Chancellor to succeed Judge
! r. w. Bingham. The Republicans
are still quarrelling among them
selves. but the OiRear followers are
hoping that the Democrats will split
on the platform question. II is the
opinion Of the Kentucky Irish Ameri-
can that armony will prevail and
that safe and sane platform will
be adopted.

Miraculous Translation of Her
Remains From Ea rth to
Heaven.
Celebration of Feast Dates Back
to Very Early Christian
Ages.
PATRONAL FEAST OF CATHEDRAL

Next Tuesday, August is, will be
Assumption day, a holy day of obli-
cation for Catholics. All must hear
mass that day under pain Of mortal
sin. In England and ireland Il is
called Lady's day, and is the occa-
sion OF fetes and social gatherings.
1t commentaries the miraculous
translation of the remains of the
Blessed Virgin from earth to heaven.
After the death of her Divine Son
the Blessed Virgin lived under the
care Of st. John. IL Is not quite GER
tain where she died. Tillemont con-
lectures from a passage in letter of
the Fathers assembled in the General
Council of Ephesus that she was
buried in that city, but the common
tradition of the church represents
her as having died at Jerusalem,
where her empty ton-b was shown to
pilgrims in the seventh century. In
any case 1t is certain that she died
and that her exemption from sin
original and actual did not prevent
her paying this common debt of
humanity. The very fact that she
received a passable nature rendered
ner llaDle TO deatn.
Still, although the Blessed Virgin
tasted of death, her body was pre-
served from corruption and it was
united to her soul in heaven. The
church signifies her belief in this
fact by celebrating the feast of her
Assumption on August Is. There is
no distinct assertion of the corporal
assumption in the prayers of the
feast, but it is plain that the church
encourages and approves this belief
from the fact that she selects for the
lessons during the octave a passage
from st. John Damascene in which
the history of the corporal assump-
tion is given in detail.
This pious belief is recommended
by its intrinsic reasonableness, for
surely 1t is natural to suppose that
our Lord did not suffer that sacred
/ body in which He himself had dwelt
and from which He had formed his
own sacred humanity to become a
prey to corruption. It is confirmed
by the testimony of st. Andrew of
Crete, st. John Damascene and of
many ancient martyrologies and
missals, cited by Butler on this
| tcdol. IL 10 HOIcONcI d SlIlhiuB ldCl
that, Notwithstanding the zeal of the
early church in collecting and ven
Grating relics no relics of the Blessed
Virgins body have ever been ex-
hibited.
Much weight. too, must be laid
on the common sentiment of the
faithful. The corporal assumption is
not an article of faith, still Melchior
Canus sums up the general teaching
Of theologians on this head when he
says: "The denial of the Blessed
Virgins corporal assumption into
heaven. though by no means an
article Of faith. is still so much op-
posed to the common agreement of
the church that It would be a mark
of insolent temerity." Both history
and tradition show that the feast of
! the Assumption was celebrated In
the Eastern and Western branches Of
the church prior to the sixth CEN
/ tury.
Our Lady of the Assumption is the
patron of the Louisville Cathedral
and the feast will be duly observed
i In that church next Tuesday.
