Two weeks ago we published a
rumor that Miss Ellen Young, who
is now in California. had sent in her
resignation as a teacher in the pub

would take a position that had been
offered to her. at better salary. This
rumor has not been disproved or af-

Directors An Superintendent
Disagree as To Who's
Who.
20 CHILDREN IN THE HOME.
Superintendent ReCOnsi d err S
Resignation, to No
Effect.

There is difference between the
board of directors and the superin-
tendent of the West Kentucky Or
phan's Home.
This difference. as we are told by
one Of the directors, started when
Superintendent Humphrey under
took to take child from the home
of gentleman at Dawson, where
it had been placed by the directors.
He said that gentleman. who is one
of the best men of the place, and his
wife had become very much attached
to their adopted child and did not
want to give it up when Mr.. Hum
phrey demanded it. and have ro'
done so. The directors, knowing
that the child had as good home rs
could be desired, did not sustain Mr..
Humphrey. Mr.. Humphrey, as stat
ed in his card, published this week /,
sent in his resignation, which was
accepted by the board. Afterwards
he withdrew his resignation and
claims that the directors held a pri-
vate meeting. He wanted to be
represented at the meeting by an
attorney. as he was not physically
able to be present himself, but was
/ not.
The board does not consider il
necessary to have the superintend.
ent present at its meetings. unless
there is cause for his taking a part,
which is the reason for their not CIV
ing him notice.
The superintendent now claims
that he. and not the directors, is the
head of the Orphanage. The West
Kentucky Orphans Home is an IT.
corporated institution, but uninten-
inally the direc .ors failed to file their
amended articles, after having them
prepared for the purpose.
This friction between the direct
crate and superintendent is a rather
serious matter, so far as the work OF
the Home is concerned. but the 70
little children now in the institution
will be properly taken care of by
the directors. No fear of that. but
the usefulness of the Home will GER
tainly be crippled for awhile by the
trouble.
During the two years of the exist
ence of the Home, nearly a hundred
little innocents have been placed in
good homes and the great work ha:
increased from time to time. We
do not believe that the ladies anC
gentlemen composing the board will
allow the incident referred to tC
dampen their ardor for helping
those who cannot help themselves

Special Registration Certi6-
Gates Admit to the
Polls.
SHOULD BE REMEMBERED

Circuit Judge Hanbery gave his
decision yesterday morning in the
friendly suit filed to get a construc
ton of the law in regard to voters
who failed to give their party affilia-
ton at regular October registration
and the supplemental registration
before the County Clerk.
The court decided that those whose
party utilization was not recorded at
the October registration cannot vote
in the primary election to-day.
Those whose party utilization was
not recorded in the supplemental
registration can vote in the primary
election to-day. This includes those
whose names are mentioned in the
amended petition laid before the
court yesterday morning. By order
of the court. the parties named in
the petition are to have their affilia-
ton recorded in the proper column
of supplemental registra
The number of voters barred by
the decision as to regular registra-
ton is not known. but may reach 90

1t is well that this matter has beer
brought into court and been passed
upon, in that at future registrations
voters will see the necessity of giving
their party utilization when asked by
the judges of registration. A very
large per cent. of them refuse Il
give their utilization when asked
many get angry and some become
almost insulting in their language
The law makes it the duty of thu
judges to inquire as to party aftilia

1t is quite clear that Judge Han
berry could not fail to decide as b,
did as to the regular registration
Had he decided that the Count.
Clerk should correct the books useC
in the regular registration, it woul'
have amounted simply to requiring
the clerk to correct the mistakes o

nor common sense. AS the registra

they cannot be required to max
their own corrections.

ANOTHER
RAILROAD
The Scheme HatChed Out In
Nashville On
Paper.
A TRUNK LINE THIS TIME.
What About a Railroad From
HOpkinSville to Owens
bOrO?

Lrst Wednesday a dispatch was
sent out from Nashville to the effect
that Nashville men with, W. j. Oil
yer at the head, we're considering a
scheme to have a trunk line from
Chicago and st. Louis to the south
east. The route proposed is over
the Tennessee Central via Hopkins
vile, Nashville and Knoxville, thence
by other lines to Savannah, Ga.
The trunk line scheme is liable
to be, as many others, a great dream
but barren of results, a story soon
told and soon forgotten. We can't
see more in it. if as much, as we did
in the railroad that was to be built
! from here to Owensboro-a flash in
the pan and nothing seen but smoke
The game was in sight and it looked
as if something was going to be
done. The Greensboro road has not
been heard of for so long that it has
passed out of public memory.
The projectors came here and met
with our citizens and assured them
that the road would be built right
away if they would subscribe a few
thousand dollars for construction
The amount was over subscribed anC
it was agreed would be paid wher
the road was completed.
