BAND CONCERTS

With the finest, and perhaps
the only band stand in the State
this city has no music, except oc
casionally from a wandering band
The music of a community is 4
pretty good test of its public
spirit. No energy or progress
no music. Music must be dis.
associated from the idea of wan.
dering Ministries.
There is nothing SO refining as
a high class of music; nothing
more enjoyable than the melodies
and harmonies of a good band;
nothing more refreshing than a
tune well played" A series of
concerts once or twice a week,
given from the band stand, will
bring the people out en- masse.
They can enjoy the music, see
each other, spend a most pleasant
and social hour and all be re-
freshed mentally, morally, and
socially. The little amount of
money necessary to put this on a
sure and permanent foundation
could be easily raised, Let Prof.

"A circular letter addressed to
the candidates for the various Of
fees in Clark county and in the
city of Winchester, asked them
three very pertinent questions:
LIST. Are you connected in any
business way, or in sympathy
with the liquor or saloon interests
of Clark county, or of Kentucky?
End. Are you in favor of the
rigid enforcement of the temper
ance laws of the State, and do
you agree to lend the influence of
your official position, if elected,
to the enforcement of our present
temperance laws or any others
that may be enacted before your
term of office expires?
3rd- May we make public your
answer to these questions?
Why not ask our candidates a
few questions? But why limit
the questions to liquor? Are not
the other laws equally important?

judges who possess such remark
able powers as these.
We do not believe in appealing
to the mob spirit of the people;
nor do we believe that the people
in determining sober questions of
state polity, ever manifest the
spirit of a mob. The people are
just as capable of selecting hon
est, qualified men to act as judges,
as they are of selecting a capable,
honest man to appoint them.
1t took twelve years of honest
effort on the part of the people
to obtain the right to elect sena-
tors by popular vote. 1t may
take that long or longer to secure
the right to elect judges. But the
people are aroused and deter
mined to take matters in their
own hands relating to every de-
partment of government. May
the day when they have this right
speedily come.

How an error once started per-
sistsl Some newspapers describe
Woodrow Wilson as the 18th
President of the United States.
He is really the 9th. The error
arose from the affectation Of
somebody who started the prac-
tice of designating Grover Cleve-
land as the 22nd and oath Presi-
dent of the United States, just as
if he had been two different men
because his administration hap
pened to be not consecutive.
Just 26 other men have been
Presidents besides Woodrow Viii
son. He is entering on the 32nd
Presidential term.

WHY NOT IUDGEs2

Connecticut has ratified the
amendment to the constitution to
elect United States Senators by
the people.
1t now seems that the people
are coming into their own. If
they will demand that United
States judges also be elected by
the people of the districts which
they serve, and also include post
masters, there will be little left
for appointment.
Why should not the people de-
termine these things? In answer,
it is urged that the people do not
know the qualifications of the
judges and can not properly select
them. 1t might be a sufficient
reply to this suggestion to say
that they have been doing so for
many years in almost all of the
States, and the system works
well. A man who is unwilling to
trust the people, ought not to be
trusted by them. When it is
possible for one President, in the
course of one term, to appoint a
majority of the members of the
supreme court, it will be seen at
once thatit is possible for that
President to pack that tribunal.
It must be remembered that un-
der our system of laws, the courts
make and unmake laws passed
by the representatives of the peo-
pie; that is, they have the power
to pass on the constitutionality
of laws and give them proper
construction. Finally, it is no
more than this: The legislative
bodies propose and the courts
either ratify or reject the proposal.
It is manifest that the people
should be given some power over

POLITICAL PUBLICITY

Senator John Sharp Williams
is turning up his nose at Presi-
dent Wilson's attendance at the
joint session of Congress to de-
liver his message; also at his at
tendance at the capital to discuss
matters of legislation with the
Congressman. But the people
will applaud his acts. In one
week the President has put more
publicity in the great business of
legislation, and has taken the
public more into his confidence,
than any other president has ever
done. Matters that affect the ma
ton at large in the way of legis-
lation Can be discussed openly by
the legislators. The President
has put a stop to button-holing.
If a member of Congress has any
thing of value to say to him, it
can be said openly before his fell
low representatives.
1t is more evident day by day
that in Mr.. Wilson the country
has a safe, sane, honest man. If
the platform pledges are not re-
deemed, it is certain that the
President will show the country
where lies the fault.
