Why The Youths Companion
Should be in Every Home.

"If could take only one paper"
said the late Mr.. Justice Brewer of the
Supreme Court, "it would be the
Youths Companion-a little of every
thing in a nutshell, and unbiased"
The Companion is family paper III
the completest sense. 1t provides
reading that, without failing to inter-
est the young, still interests the ma
ture. 1t unites young and old through
their common enjoyment of delight
full fiction, agreeable miscellany, and
the clear exposition of public ques-
tions.
So carefully is it edited, so varied
are it's contents, that it would easily
supply family with entertaining fic-
ton, up-to-date information and
wholesome fun, if no other periodical
entered the house.

state wide, they are now preparing
for it.
The real purpose is to duplicate in
Kentucky the immoral politics, with
its chance for office and plunder and
pelf, which the last ten years has
made of Tennessee a political he'll on
earth. The regulation plan is to
cpmmercialize religion and to serve it
with trimmings over political count
ers. Its effect is to elevate hypocrisy
into fine art All the while its best as
set is gullible rustic who is made to
think he is doing Gods service. Yet,
as Buckle truly says, there is no in
stance on record of an ignorant man
who, having good intentions, and
power to enforce them, has not done
far more evil than good And when
ever the intentions have been very
eager, and the power extensive, the
evil has been enormous. If he has no
fear, if he is entirely unselfish, if his
sole object is the good of others, if
he pursues that object with enthusiasm,
upon large scale, and with disinter-
ested zeal, then it is that you have
not the means of preventing calamities
which the ignorant man will be sure
to inf1ict 1t is an undoubted fact
that an overwhelming majority of
prosecutors have been men of the
purest intentions, of the most admir-
able and unsullied morals.'
The really wise and true people of
Kentucky, the responsible men and
women who were reared in the Demo-
cratic belief that the union of church
and state is an abomination and that
sumptuary laws made to vex the
citizen in his home and to sacrifice
his right to regulate his conduct to
the profit, or the moral conceit of the
fanatical, is villainous and deadly
assault upon personal liberty, should
begin to realize that very grave
danger is at their door and that
they cannot afford to let it proceed by
default to destroy property honestly
and lawfully owned without compen-
sation, TO rob the state of its needed
revenue without alternative of equiva.
lent, and to strike down industries
permeatiug every rank of work and
walk in life. If they. do, we shall
have here conditions such as exist in
Tennessee. If they do, we shall have
a generation of Kentuckians degener-
ated to match the generations we have
SO long despised in Maine and Kan
sas. If they do, they will show them
selves not only incapable of just ant
sober government, but unworthy the
heritage they hold from century Of
noble history and a line of brave, up
right and patriotic forefathers.

of for the cutting Of portraits. They
are among the hardest of stones, and
so stand the work better than their
