AMUSEMENT
COMPANY

The fact that the management of the
famous Hippodrome Theatre of Lex
irgton. now known as the Ada Meade
Theatre. has taken over the Romans
Opera House and will conduct it along
it's successful ideas has met with
popular approval in Lancaster and while
the new management has hardly had
time in which to put into force much Of
its new policy, the knowledge that
everything that is possible will be done
to please the the atre goers has awaken
ed new interest.
Mr.. Elmer T. Ramsey. the resident
manager. has been instructed by Mr..
Gurnee. the president of the Gurnee
Amusement Company. to meet all the
theatre goers possible and find out rom
them personally just exactly the sort
of pictures and entertainment desired
and as this, information is secured an
average will be taken and the class Of
entertainment given from that time on
will meet the public demand.
The slogan of the new management
is give the public what it wants at all
times" and the people of Lancaster will
shortly discover that Mr.. Ramsey will
devote every possible minute to looking
after his patrons interests II would
aid matters considerably If the patrons
would seek out Mr.. Ramsey and talk
the situation over with him. Remem-
Der he Is here to please everyone and
the only way that difficult feat can be
accomplished is to get together.
Only the best pictures and entertain
ment will be shown at the Opera House
at all times and as soon as Mr.. Ramsey
has a chance to feel things out. sea
son of very unusual features can be
looked for.

HUSBAND SMELT BAD"

In the trial at Harrrodsburg of Mrs.
Peavler for killing her husband. Mrs.
W. A. Snapp swore that for two Years
she was d close neighbor to the de-
PENDANT and that Mrs. Peavler fire.
quently told her that she hated her
husband and that she would have to
kill him: that The smelt bad" and
that she would not cook anything for
him; that ''he smelt bad" and that
she would like TO take a shot gun and
shoot out the heart of him, and that
she had been practicing shooting in
order that she could kill her husband
as another Mercer county woman did
few years ago. Perhaps if women
had been the jurors. Mrs. Peavler
would have cotton off lightly as we
have heard several say she had justi-
fable grounds for killing. AT any rate
husbands should heed this warning.

STAMFORD COURT DAY

A lot of good material went to waste
at Stanford last Monday for the lack
of political speech that should have
been made by some of the many candi-
dates that were on hand that day.
One of the largest crowds seen there in
several months and several times dur
ing the day We were asked. will any
one speak to-day. Handshiking was
the order of the day and the candidates
lost no time along this line, The cattle
pens were crowded and most of them
sold at what seemed fabulous prices
E. c. McWhorter bought "a head of
heifers. weight 600 pounds at 81 cents.
J. B. Woods % head at same price.
Woods Walker purchased four wean-
ling calves at s35 a head Center Bros
five cows at $500 hundred. Harris

cattle to J.. C. Caldwell of Boyle, for
October delivery. for u cents and q

The August primary is now little
more than three weeks Off. While
there are four candidates for Governor,
it is well recognized that the real con-
test is between Stanley and McChes-
ney. News comes from all parts of
the state that lead US to believe that
Stanley will win the nomination by
safe majority, in fact his friends claim
that he will get an unprecedent ma
jority for such a contest.
Democrats who do not want to see
our party wrecked by the differences
that must come by the adoption of
State wide prohibition, look to Stanley
as the strongest msn for US to select,
to lead in the fight against the repub.
licans in November. Democrats who
know that by the adoption of state wide
prohibition. state and municipal taxes IN
Kentucky would be doubled and that such
party program would greatly en-
danger the success of our party in the
state, from the county nominees up to
Governor, believe that Stanley nomina-
tion would save US from defeat
Democrats know that this is not wet
and dry fight, that such statements are
made simply to arouse the prejudice
and obscure the real issue. The real
issue is whether the democratic party
will stand upon the county unit plat
form adopted four years ago. which
was then radical temperance plat
form or adept state wide prohibition as
a party measure and take the con-
sequences. What would the con-
sequences be to our party? Then what
would the immediate consequences be
to our state should the party win upon
such platform? OF all times, this is
one for democrats to stand upon a con-
sentative platform. carry the state IN
November and get ready with united
party to give Kentucky TO Woodrow
Wilson in 1916.

At a recent meeting of the Kentucky
Bar Association retiring President, Mr..
Thomas, made some suggestions as to
needed Legislation in Kentucky. which
Is worth well TO consider. His sug-
gestion that the office of jailer and
sheriff be combined, with the duties of
collecting the taxes altogether elimi-
mated from the duties of the sheriff, is
such a suggestion as would be a most
valuable reform if enacted into law.
1t would not only save the tax PAYERS
in Kentucky thousands of dollars, but
we believe that the people would get
more efficiency in the performance Of
the duties expected and required from
these offices. The revenues Of the
country have become so large and the
sheriff's office such a highly remunera-
tive office that sheriffs in some coun-
ties neglect their duties as peace Of
hcers in collecting the taxes from
which source they get their larger pay.
The next Legislature in Kentucky
could afford TO make this change in our
laws.

PUGlLlST ON Lee
TURE PLATFORM.

John L. Sullivan is said to be an i'm
pressive temperance lecturer, for the
reason when he talks. he knows what
he is talking about and when he faces
an audience it is ALWAYS an interested
audience.
No American is better qualified
than John l.. Sullivan to impress an
impressive lesson upon the value of
temperance and the evils of intem-
perance. When he was in the hey
day Of his glory as a pugiist and at
the height of his manly strength he
injured himself at the flowing bowl
and when he was whipped by Corbett
at New Orleans twenty wears ago and
wept like child, charging his de-
feat TO booze" there was no ques-
ton in the public mind as TO the
validity of his explanation. His col
ors went down in the dust not before
the valor and supplene3s of Gentle
man Jim" but before the furnishing
blows of our old friend and enemy,
John Barleycorn.
John L. Sullivan has led a quiets
respectable life as a farmer in re-
cent years and has abstained from
drink. He began abstaining too late.
but has stuck to the water wagon with
persistency which commands respect.
Battling Nelson once addressed Chi
cago school children upon the evils
of smoking and there was quite an
ado about the school children having
been submitted to the bad influence Of
a pugilist. Nelson says that his alb
stinence was due 10 an address made
when he was a school boy by Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young. who said that a boy
should conserve his strength and try
for place at. the top of the calling
he chose. bat" chose fighting and
eschewed cigarettes and whisky and
landed at the top. II was altogether
for him TO tell school
boys why they should not smoke.

Official Washington takes a grave
view OF the situation produced by Ger
many's refusal to meet the demands Of
the United States growing out Of the
LusitanIa incident, when more than
one hundred Americans lost their lives.
Upon President Wilson rests the
burden of deciding the policy which
the United States is to follow. Quiet
w and carefully he is considering the
situation.
Officials generally agreed that the
German reply was far from salts
factory. and that the United States
was faced with another difficult stu
alton in its relations with Germany.
II was pointed out that the American
Government and Germany had prac-
ticslly reached a deadlock on the law
in the case, evidently neither side
being willing to recede from its posi-
ton. The situation was now thought
to resolve itself entirely into ques-
tion Of policy. which depends on Presi-
dent Wilson.
There was a revival of talk concern
ing the severance of diplomatic rela-
tons. it being recalled in official circles
that in the now famous cabinet meet
ing of May IL, when the sinking Of the
Lusitania was first considered. there
was an informal understanding that if
the negotiation by the United States
to secure reparation from Germany for
the destruction of American lives in
that tragedy failed, the American
Government might be justified is dis
continuing diplomatic intercourse with
Germany.
Germany's complete evasion of liza
bility for the loss of Americans on the
Lusitanis has revived the subject most
acutely, according to well-informed
persons.
For several days there has been an
undertone of disappointment and ap-
prehension all over the country as to
Germany's note. Germany in its latest
note has ignored the vital question and
has shifted, now emphasizing the con-
ditions under which it would promise
complete immunity from danger to
Americans travelling even on American
ships.
