HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
REPUBLICANS POSITION

The Hartford Republican now
objects to the recent appointment
of fifty game wardens to serve the
State of Kentucky, and lays par
ticular stress upon the fact that
they receive. $3G9 "a -year-fur their
services. This sum is paid out of a
gun tax, imposed at the same time
the new game laws were passed,
and meant to provide for the ex-
penses incurred therein. The sports
men. who pay the tax, derive the
benefit in the increased protection
given the game. If the Republican
will say it is in favor of dynamit-
ing the fish, We could better under
stand its position. If it is in favor
of law enforcement, it should ap-
prove of the appointment of game
wardens sa means to bring about
that end.-[Elizabethtown News.

REFUSES SALARY HE FEELS
HE Is UNABLE TO EARN

Washington. May "A pathetic
story of the determination of an in
valid Kentucky boy not to accept
a position in which he could not
give complete service, came to light
to-day. E. Stout Lillard, son of
Col. e. H. Lillard. secretary to SEN
ator Bradley, declined a $1,000
place as stenographer to Mr.. Brad
ley's committee on revolutionary
claims because, he said, he could
not earn the salary"
The lad Is a competent stenegra-
pher, but is undergoing treatment
for curvature of the spine, in the
course of which he will have to
wear braces for six months, thus
partially incapacitating him. SEN
ator Bradley was satisfied with
young LIZARDS qualifications and
put him on the payroll, but the
youth insisted he would not draw
salary for work he could not sat
isfactorily perform.

In their recent declaration Of
principles, the Daviess county Pro.
gressives said
"First-Because the Pri-
mary Election law provides
that anyone becoming can
didate for Office must declare
that he affiliates with the par
ty under which emblem his
name is placed, at the last cleo
ton"
This is an obstacle which will
prove to be the biggest stumbling
block in the route of the fusion can
didates in Ohio county. In order to
file their petitions and get on the
ballot, they must declare to which
political party they belong and
must also affirm that they voted
that party's ticket at the last gen.
eral election. Can all those candi-
dates who are running on the Re-
publican ticket truthfully affirm
that their last vote was cast with
that party?

Judge ]. p. Miller announces in
this issue of The Herald as a can
didate for the nomination for Coun-
ty Judge of Ohio county, subject to
the action of the Democrats at the
general primary. August 2. 1918.
Judge Miller having heretofore
served two terms as County Judge
is too well known throughout Ohio
county for comment on our part.
1t will be remembered that he was
first elected as County Judge in
1897, served four years and was re-
elected in November. 1901, and
served four years more. In the fall
of 1905. for the third time. he was
made the Democratic standard
bearer for this Office but went
down with the remainder of the
ticket in the Republican landslide
of November, 1905.
Judge Miller made a good Coun-
ty Judge during his eight year in
cumbency and We predict for him
a good following in the coming
August primary.
