grand jury, if we stopped at this.
The grand jury must be sup
ported by a strong, bold, united
force for law and order. With
out the concurrence and assist
ance of people who stand for law
and order, the grand jury will be
powerless. Therefore, it be-
hooves all men who desire
moral purity and the enforcement
of the civil laws, to stand firmly
together and come a united force
to help, aid and assist the grand
jury in the discharge of its diff
cult task.
The preachers of the commune
ty, who are the leaders of thought
viewed from the moral standpoint,
must come out in the open and
preach from their pulpits social
and commercial purity, and en-
courage their church membership
to act in body in the support OF
the court and its grand jury.
If has been freely predicted on
the streets that the grand jury
will do nothing. But why con-
denim it in advance? Why is it
not just as easy to say that these
gentlemen of integrity will do
their duty? For our own part we
prefer to believe, and do believe
that they will strike, and that their
stroke will be most effective.
Surely these men whom we
would trust in all the affairs of
life, can be depended on to fully
realize, understand and perform
their sworn duty.

Riddell Stands For Clean
Elections

Judge Hugh Riddell in his in
structions to the grand jury in
county last week, gave
a very strong charge against the
of the local-option laws,
and against the use of money
or other corrupting influences
in elections. His charge was lis
tened to by a crowded court room
and made a profound impression
on the citizens who are eompli-
menting him very highly for the
position which he has taken on
this latter question.
He is opposed by Judge ]. P
Adams for the office of Circuit
Judge in the Twenty-third District
His friends predict his election.

are readily assimilated by the
older parties as political dogmas.
For instance, the election of U. S.
Senators by direct vote of the
people, was brought forward prob
ably more than fifty years ago
by the prohibition party. 1t was
then adopted by the republican
party and later on became the
shibboleth of the democratic party
and still later became the doc
trine of all political parties S.
This principle has been engrafted
in the constitution of the United
States as Amendment No. II,
which reads as follows:
1.-The Senate of the United States shall
be composed of two Senators from each
State, elected by the people thereof, for
six years; and each Senator shall have one
VOTE The electors in each State shall
have the qualifications requisite for elect
ors of the most numerous branch of the
State legislatures
when vacancies happen in the repre-
sentation of any State in the Senate, the
executive authority of such State shall is
sue writs of election to fill such vacancies,
provided that the legislature of any State
may empower the executive thereof to
make temporary appointments until the
people fill the vacancies by election as the
legislature may direct"
We entertain no animoSity
toward telephone and tele-
graph companies, for they have
revolutionized the commercial
and social world. However,
that which belongs to the pub
lie by right and is essential to
the public good, should be own
ed, operated and controlled by the
government. We stand unquali-
fiedly for the public ownership of
both utilities.

A FINE BUNCH OF ROSES

Judge ]. NJ. Benton, of Win
chester, is one of the most cour-
aeeous men on the bench in Ken
lucky. He slapped into Jail last
week the president of a bank

whether he had furnished money
for any candidate to buy votes.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

We have always believed that
the United States government
should take absolute control of
the telephone and telegraph bus
mess. tits true that SO far as
the telegraph business is con-
cerned, it requires technical
education, but as to the tele-
phone, there is no special educa
ton required. All that one
needs to properly operate a tele-
phone system, is good judg-
ment, a good voice and an accom-
modating nature. The means
of communication between the
people should be absolutely
freed from Individual ownership,
and should be put under the
protecting wing of great gov
eminent.
A telephone should be placed
in each postofice throughout
the land and the system should
be so extended that the remote
districts would be in instant
communication with the centers
of commerce. There is no reason
why this should not be done.
The postofice department is
not altogether self-sustaining,
but it will in the future, be not
only self-sustaining but will be a
revenue producer.
|. The extension of the free de-
livery system to the rural COM
munities has been of inestimable
value to the farmer both from
a social and commercial stand
point. The better his means of
communication with the cities
the more he is kept in touch
with the progress of the world.
Communities where formerly the
inhabitants received their mail
only once and maybe twice q

these routes read the daily pa

IT'S UP TO YOU

We noted in our last issue the
remarkable charge given to the
grand jury by Judge Benton in
relation to law enforcement and
especially in relation to the
bribery laws. This charge was
strong and was the result of a |
long and careful consideration of
the subject by the court. This
charge has placed a duty on the
grand jury which cannot be es-
capped without deliberate shirk-
ing. The character of this jury
and its intelligence commend it
to the people. They are law a
biding and believe in the en-
forcement of law. They believe
in the preservation of a pure gov
eminent and in the preservation
of the people. One of the dam
nable influences which destroys
manhood, is corrupt practices
in elections. The crime, and we
think that we properly name it
when we call it a crime, steals
over the bribed person like
an insidious poison, paralizing
and destroying permanently his
self respect. When self respect
is once destroyed, he becomes
fit for any crime. This is well
known to every one who stops to
think and who will allow
intelligence, instead of prejudice
and passion, to control his
thoughts. The crime has reach
ed such a stage and has become
so common and so general,
that the community is thorough
ly permeated with it. Those
who accept brides and those who
give brides, in order to have some
show of right in the matter, use
the stereotyped phrase, Every
body is doing ii"
The grand jurors are men Of

is not true. Furthermore they
know that the law should be en-

The following is letter received by
Mr.. Wilmington in regard to rose
plants:
II would like to know what is the
matter with my rose plants The leaves
have large brown places on them, some

Your trouble is caused by the rose
slug, a greenish-larva about one-half an
inch long. This larva feeds on the
leaves by night, and rests on the under
side of the leaf by day.
The best way to fight the slug is to
buy one ounce of white Hellebore (costs
5 cents), mix with four "a parts of
-four and dust on the rose bush Be
sure and sprinkle your foliage with
water good before busting the mixture,
otherwise the HelIebore will not adhere
to the leaf surface, or if you have a
small hand sprayer, mix the ounce of
Hellebore with one gallon of water and
spray your plants.
There have been num- rous inquiries
as to the above trouble with roses and
if the above directions will be followed
out. the plants will again become
healthy and resume their once green

Of HER HAIR AND HERP|C|DE

Few ladies realize how an untidy
head of hair detracts from their per-

undesirable trait. Unkempt hair sim
ply shows that while they may be
serupulously neat in every other way,
they are careless about their hair.
Thin, scraggy, wispy hair generally

caused by a germ. Newbro's Herpi-

the hair to grow naturally and luxur-

goes with the dandruff stops with
