GoituriaL.

We were amused at the Peo-
pies News last week, after it had
ripped and roared and ranted a.
bout the way the Democrats
were being treated who reside
in the mountains of Kentucky,
and after that sheet had said
all that it could think of about
its own party We thought that it
was actually coming to its senses
and agreed to everything it said,
and congratulated it but low and
below in last weeks issue it was
so afraid that some one would
not believe that it was simon
pure Democratic, and so afraid
that Republican would agree
with it that 1t took all that 1t
had said back and wound up by
SAYING I'VE are still Democrats. "

CIRCUIT COURT.

In the closing OF the Court last
Saturday there were many disap-
pointed because there were no in
dictments returned against vio-
lators of the election law, we are
somewhat surprised as we had
heard so much about thief, scoun.
drel, liars, malignors and such stuff,
but we call attention to the report
OF the Grand Jury, found elsewhere
in this issue, and ask any one TO
scan over the names signed to that
report and ask themselves if they do
not believe them to be a pretty
square set of men, every one Of them
is gentleman OF unquestionable vo-
racity, they say that there was
nothing done in the last election
that was illegal or irregular, we
are glad to see this and point with
pride to this election as one that
was fair. Why can we not always
have our elections held in this man.
ner?
The present Jndge of the Circuit
Court is the only one since the days
of Judge II. c. Faulkner that had
the nerve to PUT a stop TO this
wholesale of whiskey and money in
elections. Judge Faulkner under
took this in good faith and at that
time the matter was not ripe, the
people then believed that they had
been outraged, and w S, Woodson,
the foreman of that Grand Jury. was
in danger Of loosing his life m going
to and from home. Had the citizens
of the county stood behind Judge
Faulkner as they have and are
standing by Judge Sampson this
traffic would have long since been
stamped out and our citizens would
not have had this dark blot upon
the fair name Of old Knox County,
and we hope that in the future, let
BUR judge and officers be who they |
may, that the good citizens will
stand by them in the enforcement |
Of the law not only in the matter of I
elections but in the enforcement of
very letter Of the law.

Modern Thanksgiving

The pessimist feels greived
about the present state of Amer
lean holidays. On July 4 he sees
the high patriotic devotion of the
Revolutionary Fathers succeeded
by the rough anarchy of dyna-
mite fire crackers, with after
math of hospital treatment and
lockjaw.
Similarly with Thanksgiving
day, when the old timors gath
cred for family prayer, as it VINO
perfunctory or formal ritual,
but real, often an emotional
outpouring. The churches were
filled with black coated men,
and such women as could be
spared from the critical hour of
cooking the dinner.
The occasion had an interest
ing tinge of intellectual politics.
The old timers would gather
from many miles to hear noted
parsons preach political sermons.
The modern observance has
social charm and culture. The
Thanksgiving feast shows an ex-
terror of finished details that
the palmer life of the fathers
never knew. Manners have i'm
proved, the voices of the women
are less rustic. The Thanksgiv-
ing dinner now a grace that the
husky old holiday never knew.
But in the majority of homes,
it is forgotten that this feast is
a recognition of the kindness
and mercy of the Power above
us, an occasion suggesting hum
ility of heart and gratitude of
soul, in view of life's blessing.
One side of the feast shows ad-
vance. Probably there were
never so many works of charity
performed as now. Our eyes
may be partially blinded by too
materialistic lives TO the vision
Of the unseen. But at least they
bre oIen wide 10 the call Of the
Itoi o. d needy.

DAVIS ENTHUSIASTIC
Increase IN henfuCky VIII Total
Fully One Thousand; nsnv
New Tribes Are
Organized

Great Sachem Davis spent a
few days in Louisville last week,
and while here spoke enthusiastic
cally of the prospects of a large
me mbership increase in Ken
lucky.
you can safely increase my
previous estimate of an increase
of 500 to .0OO," said Great
Sachem Davis.
Within the last few weeks a
very aggressive campaign has
been conducted under the i'm
petus of Foster Honor Week, +"
and every Tribe in the Great
Reservation is assiduously follow
ing the trail. A great many dis
pensations have been issued
since Great Sachem Davis issued
his condemnation. There will
be a satisfactory growth in the
number of Tribes, according to
Great Sachem Davis, who re-
ports that nine new ones are be-
ing organized with a number
more, to kindle the council fire
for the first time in heretofore
unoccupied hunting grounds be.
fore the close of the present
great sun.
Great Sachem Davis is an en-
cellent booster and in eXerting
his every effort to finish his great
chieftaincy in a blaze of glory,
so to speak. During his term of
chieftaincy a lalSe number of
tri bes throughout the Great Res
walton have been visited and in
practically every case, by his
wise counsel and encouragement,
good results have followed.
He was not only the first Great
Sachem to enlist in the Foster
Honor Week" campaign, but is
also one of the strongest believ-
ers in the effectiveness of the
method. You can scatter the
tidings broadcast, Kentucky is
coming TO the front in hurry.
Our tribes are all working hard,
and their efforts carries the
punch that wins witness the re-
suits. We are going to run some
of the other live reservations a
close race for the largest increase
during the present great sun,
and. don't you forget it," de-
clares Brother Davis, and he
means it-every word.
Past Sachem j. NJ. Wilson, a
member of the Judiciary COM
mittee of the Great Council of
Kentucky, has been reelected
mayor of the city of Barbourville.
The contest for mayoralty was
full of excitement and interest
from start to the finish. The
candidates and the friends made
a gallant fight; butBro. Wilson
proved an easy winner. His ad-
ministration has been one of the
most successful Barbourville
ever had, and won the highest
encomiums from both political
parties. Il American Redman,

day disposed of the most knotty prob
