To the Republicans of this
Legislative district we want to
say that your Representative,
Hon. w. S. Sinclair, acquitted
himself with credit during the
term just closed. His studious
attention to business before the
House received from him the
closest attention for he was at
his desk the entire time. Again,
his courtesies to visitors from his
district is highly commendable
as a gentleman and can not fail
of appreciation.
In the redistricting measurs,
affecting this county, he was
openly opposed to all and took
the floor in opposition to the Sen
atorial change, making a speech
that elected much applause.
He made an open, hard fight to
defeat it in the House and for
his manly stand, game fight we
could not fail to admire him. His
standing with the body of which
he is member bespeaks not on
ly credit for him but for his dis.
trict,

So many want information as
to why Adair county failed to
change. Judicial andi Senatorial
relationship, with the districts
of which it is now a part, we
make the following brief state
ment: The proposition to place
this county in the Judicial dis
trict composed Of Green, Taylor,
Marion and Washington counties,
met with some objections from
Marion and Washington counties,
and was therefore abandoned
with good will prevailing on
both sides. The bill introduced
by Representative Dickey, of
Barren county, passed the House
but was killed in the Senate
smothered to death by the
Rules Committee at the in
stance of Senator Bertram,
a member of the Committee.

last fight pulled off in the Senate
last Tuesday night. He is a
true Democrat, a man who en-
joys the confidence and good
will of his associates. The Dem

district made no mistake in his
election, as he was in hearty ac-
cord for good and wholesome
legislation, and especially in
measures affecting his party.

In the closing fight over the
Senatorial bill affecting this coun-

this section are entitled to know
that Senator B. M. Arnett of
Nicholasville, espoused our cause
with as much enthusiasm as if
he had been personally interested.
He placed the proposition before
the Senate, asking that it be
called from the committee, and
put on its passage. 1t took
twenty-six votes to carry and
it only lacked three of reaching
that number. The twenty. six

ED. MACRH., 20. 1919,
? iSSING. OF THE LEGISLATURE.

&c adjournment of the Legis-
lature, last week, closed one of
the most interesting sessions this
State has had for a number of
years, and at this hour all are
at home rendering an account by
word of mouth to their inquiring
friends. Some of course are
elated over victories won, some
doubtless feel that there were
many pebbles on the beach. and
that their pets and ideals were
not groomed to their pleasure.
In the main, however, much
good and wholesome legislation
was enacted, and will doubtless
meet the appreciation of the pub
lie in general. 1t has been our
pleasure to meet and shake hands
with many of our law makers of
this, as we'll as other sessions,
and truly we can say that no
former Legislators indicated
more evidence of thorough in
telligent body. Many good cit.
liens from various parts of the
State visited our Capital city
while the Legislature was in
session, and all seemed proud of
the intelligence, honor and
standing of their representatives
both in the House and Senate.
AS usual many m eri t o.
rious measures failed to
pass simply for the lack Of time
and, to our mind it is unfortunate
TO the state that the Governor, or
the Legislature itself. has nc
power to continue its delibera-
lions for a short time beyond the
sixty day period prescribed.
Much time is required in the pre-.
paration, development and dis
cussion of measures effectine
the welfare of many sections,
and often the entire state, anC
after all painstaking afforts anC
proofs to justify favorable &C
ticn have been made the sixty
day limit kills the measure. We
believe that the Governor, Of
two thirds Of all the member:
elected should have the power tt
extend the Legislative period "a
least twenty days. Should sucl
extention of time be granted i
would have a beneficial effect tt

really amount to nothing. W.
trust that the day is not far dis

During the two opening rounds

work until he began to tire from
his own execution and then opened
up and pounded Tommy at will.
In the first round Cross slipped
to his knees and claimed he had
been fouled. The referee and most

From the fifth round on it looked
as though Cross was going to win
any second by a knockout, but
O'Keefe used all his marvellous
cleverness and managed to stall
and clinch through the entire ten
spasms. If the bout had gone an
other round or two the New Yorker
would have surely won a decisive
victory.
