THE GOVERNORS WORD.

The argument that it was not in
cumbent on Gov. McCreary to declare
for a bipartisan Board of Prison
Commissioners is sustained by the
wording of the prison plank in the
Democratic platform. 1t does not erase
the fact that the Governor, in his in
augural message, did so declare. The
House, in its vote on the Hamilton
substitute, did no violence to the prison
plank for the simple reason that its
provisions lend themselves either by
accident or design to prostitution.
What was done was to raise the ques-
tion of good faith concerning the word
of the Governor, man whose word
had stood for good faith in Kentucky
for the greater part Of a half-century.
1t is now said that the Hamilton sub
stitute will pass the Senate. If the
prediction is verified it should pass
over the Governors protest. He owes
that much to himself.-Louisvile Times.

decision of court in any case; and that
therefore the Judges are to be establish
