THE REAL ISSUE

Whitman county is fortunate in
having two candidates for superior
judge of unquestioned ability and in
tegrity. Not one word has been or
can be truthfully said against the
fine qualifications of either one to
fill the position to which they aspire.
MI Neill has been on the bench for
two years and his administration has
given general satisfaction. Mr.. Nc
Croskey's record as a lawyer and a
man is a guarantee that he would
make first class Judge. AS the
characters and ability of the rival
candidates are above criticism, the
arguments of their respective sup
porters should be carefully analysed
The contention Of the Neill men
is that their candidate has made
good and is entitled to a reelection.
They argue that when a judge has
made such good record that no
flaws can be picked in it he ought
not to be recalled simply to make
room for another well qualified man
who wants the position
The contention of the McCroskey
supporters seems to be that their
man should be elected because he is
good citizen, a good lawyer and
democrat. They admit that NeilI has
made satisfactory judge, but argue
that he should be defeated because
he does not belong to one of the old
parties.
This attempt to inject partisan
prejudice into the fight is manifestly
in violation of the spirit of the non
partisan judiciary system. The OBJ
ject of that system is to secure the
election of judges solely upon the
basis of their qualifications, instead
of upon their political affiliations,
and to make their tenure of office
dependent upon their administration
of their duties, instead of upon the
defeat or success of any political
party.
The only real issue in this Judge
ship contest is whether 1T is wise and
Just to recall judge who has made
good and discharged his duties with
ability, fairness, honesty and econ
omy. in order to give the place to
another well qualified and honorable
lawyer who happens to belong to an
other political party If the voters OF
Whitman county should decide to re-
move Judge Neill for no other rea-
son than because of his political ten
ents, it would prove that the power
to recall judges is dangerous
weapon to place in their hands.

DESERVES REELECTION

Judge Thomas Neill is a candidate
for reelection to the superior court
OF Whitman county. He was elected
two years ago to serve out the I'M
expired term of Judge Garfield ire
signed). In Judge Neills behalf it
can be said that he has made good in
every respect, from the peoples
standpoint. He effected a saving IN
his branch of the county expense that
was almost phenomenal and his econ
omy in conducting his office has
brought forth words of praise from
every section of the county There
has not been single criticism of
Judge Neills record. The only dis
satisfaction with Judge Neill has
been from the larger corporations,
and it has been frequently urged that
he was not in good standing with
these interests and that they would
prevent his reelection. To allow
these interests to dictate as 10 the
occupant of this office would seem
to be the poorest policy imaginable.
To defeat Judge NELL at this election
would be the same as a recall. from
the fact that he has been in the office
but two years. To recall a man who
has shown such capabilities as those
shown by Judge Neill would be TO
discourage efficient public service
and say to political aspirants that we
care nothing for efficiency The
election as far as this one office is
concerned will be decided at the pr.-
maries on September 10 and it is the
duty OF every voter in Whitman
county, regardless of political affili-
alton, to go to the primaries and
call for the non-partisan ballot aad
vote his honest convictions In regard
to the judgship.

which can not be measured in dollars
and cents. This side of the question
has been brought home again to the
people of Whitman county by the
terrible tragedy enacted at Tekoa last
week.
one man was killed in drunken
row, and one of the proporietors of
the saloon, in fit of insane rage be-
cause the license was revoked, killed
Deputy Sheriff Estep and City Mar
shall Grant Dickinson and then blew
out his own brains. How much
license money will it take to make ND
for the sorrow and suffering caused
by these four untimely deaths? How
much will it take to recompense the
taxpayers of the county for the costs
OF the murder trial resulting from
the killing of the first man?
A very large per cent of crimes
IN this or any other county can be
traced directly to the saloons and a
law should be passed providing that
the residents of each town or city
which licenses saloons must pay all
the costs of criminal actions resulting
from the presence of those saloons.
People would then learn that revenue
from saloon licenses is very expen-
slYe, even when measured in dollars,
to say nothing of the terrible cost
to the morals and happiness of the
community.

WOMEN SHOULD SUPPORT NELL

Six years ago, in an address at the
veterans reunion in this city, Judge
Neill chided the old soldiers for ne
glecting to raise their voices in favor
of giving their wives and daughters
the right of franchise He said:
You may answer that they
do not want to vote, but |
answer back that the nation
needs their vote Give the
women the right to vote and we
will solve many of the present
day problems in manner that
will rebound to the honor and
the glory of the nation"
1t would be the irony Of fate II
the women's vote of this county
should be cast against Judge Neill
who was advocating woman suffrage
when it was unpopular so to do.

AN EXPENSIVE REVENUE

One of the frequent arguments ad-
yanced in favor of saloons IS that
they furnish needed revenue 10 run
a city. This argument seems plaus-
ible enough unless one stops to think
of the expense which this revenue en-
tails on a community, an expense

Ed Walton Sells Somerset Paper

Ed c. Walton, former editor of

and n. l.. Brown, the owners Of the
Somerset Journal, thus effecting a
consolidation of the two democratic
newspapers at the capital of Pulas-
XII. Mr.. Walton has not decided
upon his plans for the future as
yet, but may return to Florida. He
was never satisfied with the field
in Somerset, which never was and
never will be four newspaper town,
two being amply sufficient for n
place that size just as one is amply
sufficient for Stanford. Mr.. Walton
made many improvements in the
Times, but democrat of his stripe
never had any business running a
newspaper in county as over
whelmingly republican as Pulaski.

July 18th, 1912
To the citizens Of Lincoln County -
The undersigned citizens of
Jessamine County, Kentucky, are IN
formed that report is being cjrcu-
lated in Lincoln county that Judge
Emmet Puryear, who is a candidate
for Commonwealth Attorney in the
District embracing Lincoln county,
was under the influence of liquor
while in Nicholasville.
We are all citizens of Nicholas
vile and personally acquainted with
Judge Puryear and we unhesitating-
ly brand this report as false.
The report is probably started by
some whisky man, who resents the
very efficient services which Judge
Puryear rendered to the "drys" in
the two contests of local option
elections held in Nicholasville.
Because of the efforts Of Judge
Puryear and his associates one con-
test was decided for the "drys" and
another so ably conducted that
Nicholasville was kept dry for over
two years, the first election having
been held February 18th, 1910, and
saloons kept out unti March LIST
1912.
As contestants in these cases, and
as representatives of the temperance
element in Nicholasville, We take
pleasure in saying to the temperance
people Of Lincoln county that Judg,
Paryear was thereby identified witt
the "dry" side of our fight in Mich
louisville, and that we are personally
associated with him, and know this
report is untrue.
We consider the people of your
district fortunate in having an OPP
portunity to vote for man of Judge
Puryear's character and attain
ments for their prosecuting officer.

SIXTEEN CONVERSIONS
At BAPTIST MEETING


Sixteen conversions have been
made at the revival services. which

church, under the forcefuI preaching
Of DIR. J. W. Porter, of Lexington.

Interested
Friday morning nearly all Of the
business houses in town closed for
on hour to permit their employees to
attend the services. The crowds
each night are large.
DIR. Porter's subject Friday morn
ing was Heaven. There was the
closest attention to the speaker and
one profession at the close Of the
service. DR.. Porter breaches again
tonight Saturday morning and Sat-
urday night.
Stanford has been greatly blessed
by the coming of this godly man.
DR.. Porter believes and breaches
that there is hell for the wicked
and heaven for the righteous. He
is great preacher and believes in
the "old gospel and breaches it
with power.
Announcement will be made Sat-

Miss Ellen Moore, was with her to
see the school get fairly started the
first week. The outlook for a good
school is flattering. Now that we
have a compulsory attendance law,
which is much better than any yet,
on orr statutes, (only lacking l6
years Of age as the maximum limit
instead of IL years, TO have been
more beneficial,) aud wider in scope.
Let the parents and patrons lend
their heartiest cooperation at all
times and in every way, and then
will the teachers over our land .ac-
complish much. II is almost as much
with parents whether their children
learn Or not, as with the teacher.
Not only send them to school but
encourage them in their efforts to
acquire an education for one little
word of disapproval of learning ar
the methods of instruction of the
present time may prove stumbling
block to them forever. Long has
hlindfolded ignorance, chained with
the letters Of superstition, walked
up and down the length and breadth
of our fair Commonwealth. But now
a better day is coming. Kentucky
shall awaken, for the torchlight of
education shall ere long, change our
darkness to brightest MONDAY, for
education is the hope of our country.

UNJUST ATTACKS.

(Danville Messenger.)

(Danvllle Messenger.)
When Misrepresentation, villifi-
cation and other abuses Of an op-
ponent must be resorted to, an as
pirant for office certainly is skating
upon very thin ice. The unwarrant-
ed attacks upon Hon. Harvey Helm
are being condemned by right think
ing people and are making friends
for him every day. For time, Mr..
Helms friends were kept busy deny
ing these reports, but the practice
Of framing new ones has continued
until today they are given little at
tention and absolutely no credence.
An effort is now being made to
throw off the temperance people by
saying ANDERSON county is solid for
Mr.. Helm" meaning to create the
impression that none but WHISKY
people live in Anderson county.
There are no better or more law
abiding people on Gods green earth
than reside in Anderson county, and
while it is true Lawrenceburg has
saloons ana there are several large
distilleries in the county, the pop
ulation is not the whisky soaked,
hoOdlum element limited at when the
attention of the temperance people
is being constantly called to the fact
that Anderson is solid for Helm"
The people are disguised with such
talk, and are going to show their
feelings by voting for Mr.. Helm.
AT present, every indication
points to the nomination of Mr..
Helm, but The Messenger desires to
impress upon the voters the impor-
tance of going to the polls and cast
ing their ballots. His enemies are
moving every stone, their pork BAR
rel has been opened, and every eff
fort will be put forth, so it behooves
every friend Of Congressman Helm
to go to the polls and vote. The
does not believe in party
papers taking an active stand in
races for nominations, but So vici-
Gus have been the attacks upon Mr..
Helm. that duty has made it neces-
sary to correct some Of the unjust
criticisms upon him.

to duty, without fear or favor in the
discharge Of his sworn duty as an
officer Of the law and a protector Of
the peace and dignity Of this grand
old Commonwealth.
Good reports come from that dis
trict that Mr.. Burch will win over
his opponent. Not that we don't ad-
nire Mr.. Puryear, for We do, but
that we love "Old Beebe" all the
more. He is a democratic soldier

the bottom of his wounded limbs.

The writer spent yesterday in
Mercer county and was gratified to
observe the marked enthusiasm for
Hon. Jere Sullivan. His friends, who
represent the Democratic strength
of that county, declare that Sullivan
will carry the county by not less than
600 majority. The county appears
to be absolutely united on Sullivan.
Mercer is the strongest temperance
county in the district and the tenn
perance leaders deeply appreciate
Judge Sullivan's stand in forcing the
county unit plank in the last Dem
ocratic platform over violent pro-
test of the Hon. Henry Watterson
and the Courier-Journal. 1t is said
that Congressman Helm has been
"asleep' on the interstate shipment
bill in Congress during the past five
years and has never made an at
tempt to pass the bill or have il
taken out Of the hands of the COM
mittee and given a vote.

are kicking on the "blind tiger" sit

of business and that Danvile could
do the same thing if the temperance
people would put their heart into the
movement. Mercer county believes
in uniting and standing solidly for
those who take the initiative in tenn
perance legislation. They don't want

why he passed sleepless nights and
ripped his neither garments to take

truth is Mr.. Sullivan wants to go to

bad, and seems disposed to tell most
any kind of story to get there. But
Casey county democrats are on to
