HON. ROBERT H. VIM
OF Mt Sterling Succeeds Judge O'rear As
Associate Judge Of The Kentucky
Court Of Appeals.

On last Saturday afternoon at late
hour in a formal note Judge Edward
C. 0'Rear rendered to Governor Will
SON has resignation as a-judge of the
Kentucky court of appeals. He made
no recommendation as to his successor.
Judge O'Rear as yet is not fully de-
cided as to what future arrangements
he will make further than that he will
practice law in Frankfort.
On Monday Gov. Wilson appointed
Hon. Robert H. VIM of Mt. Sterling
to fill the vacancy occasioned on the
appellate bench by Judge O'Rear's
resignation. Judge VIM is chairman
of the State Central Republican Com
mittee, and is one of the best KNOWN
attorneys in the state. Judge Kirk, IL
B. Blakey and Judge H. G. Faulkner
were the other applicants for the posi-
ton, and at least one of these gentle
men will make the race for the nom
nation next fall, as also will Judge
VIM.

Lincoln County Commissioner Appointed.

On last Saturday Judge Hardin am
nounced the appointment of Mr.. Eph
Pennington to be master commissioner
of the Lincoln circuit court. This
puts an end to a sharp controversy
which has existed in Lincoln county
over this position ever since Judge
Hardin's election. Messrs Harve Nc
Roberts and Rowan Saufley were ap-
plicants, but neither of them landed
the plum, Judge Harding giving it to
a dark horse. w. w. Happy Saun-
ders was appointed trustee of the jury
fund. Both of these appointments
should meet with public approval as
both of the gentlemen are splendid
young democrats and are capable of
filling the offices to which they have
been appointed.

Must Redeem Party Pledges.

Hon. Harry A. Sommers, editor of
the Elizabethtown News is sending
literature all over the state in order to
build up a sentiment against the third
house, and to make public sentiment
demand of the different representa-
tives of the counties that they carry out
the promises of the democratic plat
form upon which the entire ticket
swept the state at the last election.
This county elected John N. Farra
to the Legislature and can rest assured
that he will endeavor to carry out the
party pledges. Those progressive planks
that Judge O'Rear and the republican
leaders told the people that the demo-
Gratis would not carry out, must be to
the fullest meaning carried out so as to
insure the people of the sincerity of
the democrats. Had the people for an
instant thought before the election
that Coy. MeCreary and the demo-
cratic representatives and senator's
would betray them and prove false to
the vows, the whole ticket would have
gone down to merited cdefeat. We
must haya a greater Kentucky and we
must keep the grand old state in demo-
cratic line; in order to do this the
people must demand that their rep
resentatives be clean and able men and
men who will stand back of the promis-
es made by their party.
One of the determinate issues of the
last campaign was the county unit ques-
ton. Both parties embodied it in their
platform and both parties were thunder
ing all over the state they were in ear
nest. The people demonstrated by their
vote that they thought Gov. McCreary
wasin earnest and he was, however he
must have the support of the democratic
Legislature. We hear that the whiskey
people are already at work using every
argument they can think of to get
democratic legislators to repudiate the
platform upon which their party was
swept into power. We do not think
that the whiskey people can have much
influence with our legislators, however
it is well to warn them. If they find
democrats who are willing to violate
their pledges, it will make every true
democrat in this old commonwealth
hang his head in shame. We hope that
there will not be a representative or
senator in Frankfort but who will be
for the County Unit bill. We do not
see how they can keep from being for
it since it is right and since the people
have proven that they want the bill
passed.
If legislator who is democrat
votes against this bill, what kind of
salve could he use to ease his conscience
under the burden of his betYayals. No
democrat in this progressive age can
go back on his promise to the public
and again face them without going
down in defeat. Let every true Ken.
tuckian who is acquainted with a Ken
lucky Legislator write to him or see
him and urge them to do their full duty
and carry out every promise contained
in the party platform.

those labor unions inevitably will creep
just such men as the Mcnamara broth
ers, men who will seek to gain ends by
fair means or foul, and who without
even exhausting every honorable
means, seek to further their ends by
means of the torch, dynamite and such
violent means, and just so long as such
men are tolerated and such means are
just so long will organized
labor fail of the object to which they

sooner will they become a power for

wednesday evening. g
Admiral Young has been stationed
for the past two years in comman d of
the Navy Yard at Pensacola, Fla.
where he was promoted last year to
the rank of Rear Admiral, next to the
youngest on the active list of the
Navy.
He was born in Lexington March 81,
1852, and was appointed to the Naval
Academy in 1863, where he graduated
in 1873. His FIST duty was on the u,
S. steamer Alaska. After performing
several sets of signal bravery he was
promoted to the rank of Ensign in
1874. In 1877 in recognition of work
done in the saving of lives from the
wreck OF the Huron, he was given the
rank of Master by the United States
Senate. In 1888 he was appointed a
Lieutenant of the Junior Grade. sent
to Panama, and remained in South
America waters until 1886, at which
time ne was ordered to Washington
and promoted to the rank of Lieuten-
ant.
During 1890; while the Hawaiian rev.
olution was in progress, he was en-
gagged in the protection of American
interests at Honolulu. In 1897 he was
assigned to the duty of surveying the
west approach to the Panama Canal
where he was taken iii and ordered
home on sick leave In 1898. When the
Spanish War broke out, although still
on sick leave, he joined the feet of
Admiral Sampson eff Santiago. For
his services at the battle of Manzanillo
he was awarded the highest medal by
the Navy Department.
For four years following this Admir-
al Young was in command of the Nav
al Station at the Port of Havana, I'm
til 1902, he served on the Naval 'Boara
at Washington. In 1894 he was as
signed to the command of the Naval
forces in Panama. He was also In the
San Francisco earthquake and was
by the Secretary of the
Navy for his work during those trying
times.

Of the Llewelyn Iron Works.
The confession of the Mcnamara
Bros. of their guilt, owing to their in
innate association with organized labor,
is the most severe blow ever struck
against labor unions in this country.
The confession of J. r, McNamara
that he placed the dynamite WHICH did
the deadly work, but without intent to
take human, life is no mitigating cir
cumstance in his favor, for it stands to
reason that the damage which would

who were employed in the building.

ears of Union soldier in Kentucky or
in the entire south, or for that matter,
should give offense to anyone. 1t is
true that Hon. James B. McCreary did
fight for the confederate cause, but a
majority of $4,000 Kentuckians cast
their ballot for him to serve as COVER
nor of Kentucky, an honor which for
the second time has been conferred up
on him, and most assurdly the great
majority of these voters were not con-
federate soldiers. Down here in Ken
lucky the war is over, past grievances
are buried and forgotten, and no man
strives more earnestly to heal those
wounds than that noble gentleman who
now sits in the gubernatorial chair, and
for whom every Kentuckian has the
deepest regard and respect, as they
have for every old soldier. whether he
wore the blue or the gray. No news
paper in this commonwealth would
even think of voicing such an article as
appeared in the Times, and we think
that the gentleman had small cause to
criticise what plainly does not concern
him.
thousands of Kentuckians who
fought for the Union are now drawing
pensions, pensions many of which were
secured by the assistance of those dem
ocratic members of congress from this
and other southern states, who the
Times unjustly accuse of opposing the
pension system.
We do not wish to enter into a con-
troversy with the gentleman from Indi-
ana or for that matter with anyone
else, on this subject, but we do wish to
remind him that the same stars and
stripes float oyer the grand old state of
Kentucky as float oyer our neighboring
state of Indiana, and they meet with as
much respect here as there or any other
place in the country, there are as many
gallant men here ready to volunteer to
resent insult to or defend them as in
any state in the union, and we ehallen-
&c the right of any newspaper any
where to interfere as to the method
adopted in Kentucky of inaugurating
our governor, be they confederate or
union soldiers.
