NEW CHURCH

The Christian Church OF this place
will soon begin the erection Of a new
brick church, the one that they now
worship in is a very old building,
having been erected in the year 1865,
the old church, like the old M. E.
Church that was taken down in
1906. it has a history attached to
it that, il it could be gotten up,
would be one of interest to every
one. When it comes down it will be
the last OF the good old days of our
fathers, in this old church the rites
of matrimony have been solemnized
between some Of our oldest citizens.
and many have united with the
church in this building that have
gone to the beyond, many interest
ing sermons have been delivered by
eminent speakers, but the progress
Of the times demand that the old
church come down and that it be
supplanted by a modern brick.
They have gone at 1t in earnest,
and the way they responded last
Sunday when it was made public
that a new church should be built,
looks as though this church will &c
up at once, as they subscribed
$4.500.00 on the first call, they
made up more than half the money
required to erect the building.
We are not a member OF that
church, but we feel an interest in it
we feel that we should assist these
good people in this work. and that
every citizen Of the city should put
his shoulder to the wheel and help
in doing so you help your neighbor
and help the city, the more new en-
terprises we have the better it is fol
the community.

AWFULLY SORRY, BUT
BOUND BY THE
PLATFORM

President Wilson put himself to a
very severe test when, in talking to
the sutfragettes, he asserted that the
Baltimore platform was his supreme
law and that he could not recon-
mend anything outside of that docu-
ment. He was in sympathy with
the movement for equal suffrage, but
felt that he could do nothing be-
cause he was merely the spokesman
OF the great party. Those who are
close to the President describe his
deep emotion when he was forced to
reject the appeals of the working
women who pleaded with him to
recommend to Congress an amend
ment to the Constitution to permit
the reimbursement Of women.
The Presidents friends said that
he was greatly depressed that he
had to reject the plea. but that he
telt that his Own weakness should
not count against the edict Of the
Baltimore platform, The platform
did not oppose woman suffrage. but
by failing to recommend an amend
ment it ties the Presidents hands

CONVICTED OF
BOOT-LEOOlN0
Crowded out last week. J

Some doings in the Police Court.
One John Dorum, who runs a little
restaurant on the N. f. corner OF
the Public Square. was arrested by
Chief Of Police. Cstron, and was
tried before Judge Jarvis on Tuesday
and was fined $4,000 and ten days
in Jail for the sale Of spurious, vim.
Gus and malt liquors. He was run
ming full blast and the police had
little trouble in getting three cases
against him in a single day. While
the trial was in progress the Deputy
United States Marshall appeared
upon the scene and John was taken
before the United States Commission
err to be tried fer violating the Fed
eral Law. We have not heard from
the trial as yet, but it goes without
saying that he will be held over. as
there were three to FIVE witnesses
against him.
Boys, it won't do to fool with
that stuff and il our officers get a
case against you, you had better
look out, for there is no mercy
shown a man nowadays that fools
with whiskey, and under the
present law cannot bring your
neighbor a drink. If you do you
violate the law and he will be
called upon to tell it if some one
smells it on your breath. So you
had better be good and keep away
from booze.

THE LEGISLATURE
OF KENTUCKY

On Tuesday, the II, the Gen
eral Assembly Of Kentucky ad-
journed and wendell their way
homeward to tell their constitu-
ents Of the wise laws they have
made.
Well, they did make some
laws that are good, aud others
that are not worth the paper
they are written upon.
In the first place they proceed
ed to kill the STATE WIDE
POHIBITION LAW, one of
the greatest evils that we have
to contend with is LIQUOR, and
after having discussed it fully
and freely, and at time when
it was ripe to be passed, they
pigeon holed the bill there to re-
main for four more years, which
means four more years of BLOOD
SHED and TEARS.
Ninety per cent of the crimes
committed in the State of Ken
lucky may be, and are correctly
chargeable to the use of liquor,
and until we have State Wide
Prohibition matters will con-
! tinue as they have been.
We are glad that the Bosworth
/ Good Roads Bill went through
and we feel that we have been
amply paid for all the support
that we have given our Senator
Mr.. Bosworth, this has been his
pet measure, and it is one that
he should feel proud of, for If it
had not been for his untiring eff
forts we doubt very much if we
ever would have gotten any re-
lief, and the relief We got was
very small, but that is better
than to be passed up without any
thing, 5 cents per 800 for the
road fund will soon raise enough
money if it is properly used tc
make many miles of good roads,
this is State aid, now if the
Counties of the State would lay
a levy of say twenty five cents tc
the 800. worth of taxable prop
erty, we would soon be on the
way with ether progressive states

TO the Editor OF The Times:

II
A one who In the past has frequent
iy commended YOU. and who in local
option and womans suffrage addresses
and on other occasions has recon-
mended The Times 10 his audiences as
fair, just and clean, | desire TO enter
an emphatic protest against your RAD
/ Id methods In prosecuting and misrep-
resenting Gov. Ferris. II looks 10 me
that the only reason for opposing MIN
so savagely Is that he would not per-
NIT yoL to dictate to him as governor
as you do to most Of your other SUD
scriters In this county. We all appre-
ciate the fact that man whose record
up to two years ago was that OF q
courageous, able, fearless and indie
pendent gentleman, as you recommend
ed TO us In 1912. is apt to change over
night into q spineless jellyfsh, as you
present him to be now. II the vets
supported him In 1912, what excuse
have you to offer for your conduct In
urging dry voters TO support him? And
IL your Judgment and information was
erroneous then, why should we have
any confidence In your arguments
now?
The last accusation that can fairly
be brought against the governor Is
that OF disloyalty and double dealing,
and you know II, and when you rep
resent him In such characters, you are
stopping TO methods that common
ward heeler would scorn 10 use. and
that serve no purpose except TO ex-
pose the selfish motives behind your
pretended altruistic ones. and TO bring
into derision and contempt your boast
ed devotion to fairness and justice.
You are certainly right I'm one re-
spect, in what you say In your letter
to Mr.. Beery. in this. that you are not
a Democratic newspaper. You are not
democratic even with a small ID" or
you would not think of first inviting
your subscribers to express their
opinions to you and then drag them
deferseless into your editorial COZ
umns, to heap insults upon them and
suggest cheap and coarse puns on
their names as you have done with
others besides Mr.. Beery. This Is. to
say the least, very cowardly and
Internationally method on your part,
in view of your fulsome self-lauda-
lions. n you stand for principles and
give your support without strings at

you to call In lengthy editorial for q

I'm all his gyrations has been guilty
but once Of saying or doing anything
antagonistic to the liquor interests. In
preference to Pattengill. Of whose
progressiveness there Is no doubt,
whose executive ability is unquestion-
ed, and who. like Ferris. has fought

That kings take keen delight In;

II has been called TO our attention
that some Republicans are supporting

because Mr.. Osborn bolted the Repub.

This suggests, incidentally. that Mr..
Ferris has some elastic supporters.
A campaign Is being waged In Ken

mean that one of these days they will
