to repay il. For twenty-five
years joe Blackburn was in the
forefront Of every political battle
Il Kentucky whether he xas q
candidate or not. In the dark
est0ays OF the party his white
plume, ike that of Henry, OF
Navarro, waved in the forefront
of political conflict. He was the
most beloved member that Ken
lucky ever sent to Congress and
his fearlessness, his ability and
his loyalty is now q part of
American history. The crown
ing glory Of his record is that
he retired poor man and while
virtue Is its own reward there
should IN his care be shown an
appreciation Of it by Kentucky
Congressman. If a Republican
President at the behest of Repub-
licans whom he had fought all of
his life politically could he be
generous enough to make him
Governor of the Canal Zone sure

for whom he has devoted his life
should be generous enough to see

Administration of mis- own party

Mir. G. P. Smythe, of this city,
has filed his petition as a Prog
ressive candidate for the nomi-
nation for Representative in this
district composed of Adair and
Cumberland counties. There be.
ing no opposition to him in his
party It stands a fact that ne
will be in the final race in No
vember. The News did what it
could to bring out a strong man
in the Democratic party for this
position but no one responded,
hence the final contest will be
between Mr.. Snythe and the
nominee of the Republican party
who will be q Cumberland coun-
~ man. Since our party failed
TO offer good man for this i'm
portant position we trust that the
Republicans will not overlook
the worth Of offering a man well
fitted for the arduous work that
viii confront the next Genera
Assembly. Mr.. Smythe is com
paratively 2 young man, but wei
matured in fixed principles O.
public duty, a man of good NOR
ais and endowed with the abilit,
TO make q Yalable man for tn
position he seeks. So in tn
event OF his opponent being
man Of equal merits the distric
will not suffer regardless of VIII
may be elected.

them, and in humility they bow
before the Father of all and say
THY will be done"
In the years to come they shall,
never have a care about the wei

shall be able to say, when other
parents have sorrows because Of
children which have been spared
to them here. It is well with
our little ones There is 10

"Of such is the Kingdom Of
