1T HAS PASSED.

The age of drunkenness has passed
The age of sobriety is with us.
To what school do you want youl
children belong?
Fasten the shackles of drunkenness on
them and you
l. Debar them from polite society.
Put a mill stone around their
necks commercially
8. Bring discord, poverty, ruin and
disgrace to them.
4. Make some their children mental
incompetents.
5. OpenAthe doors, of~the jails, and
penitentiaries to them.
6. Deprive them of education.
What is true of a family is true of a
State. A State is only collection of
individuals
Eve are all but parts of one stupen-
duous WHOLE"
Kentucky has a worldwide reputa-
ton for being drunken, fighting State.
Are you satisfied with this reputation?
Such reputation keeps away:
1. Capital.
2. Population.
KENTUCKY needs more money, more
people. 1t has the best lands in the
world for agriculture, coal, minerals,
oil and lumber.
Do you want it to remain handicap
ped with drunkenness, poverty, murder
and thriftlessness? If so, vote with
the Whiskey Trust. If you want it to
develop asst would under sobriety and
business administration, vote DRY.
McChesney is dry. He stands for more
schools and no distilleries; more bust
ness and no stagnation. He stands for
the boys and girls, the fathers and
mothers and for all that makes men
and women purer, better, stronger and
nobler. Lets call him School House Nc
Chesney. Lets vote for him because
he will see to it that the doors of church
and school are open and every one
given an equal opportunity.

McCHESNEY SPEAKS
IN TWO COUNTIES

H. " McChesney campaigned Pull
ask and Wayne counties Tuesday in
the interest of his race for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. He
spoke in the afternoon at Monticello in
Wayne county, where he was heard by
600 people. He was introduced by
Clarence Duncan, one of the leading
men of the county. 1t is predicted
that he will carry the county by a
large majority. He spoke to 300 peo-
pie at Burnside at night, where he was
introduced by Ben v. Smith, of Somer-
set. In both speeches McChesney
waged war on the liquor interest and
told large number of incidents where
liquor had destroyed the brightest
young men in the State. He asked the
people to vote for him, and help to
drive it from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

DON'T THREATEN US.

The claim put forward by the Stan
ley supporters that Stanley is the only
man that can defeat Hon. Edward
Morrow contains a latent threat. Do
they mean that the liquor men will
bolt McChesney? Won't there be the
same number of Democrats, it matters
not who is the nominee? You might
persuade Democrats to vote for Stanley
in the primary; but you will never
make any of them do 50 by the use of
the lash. Don't threaten the dry men.
It's bad taste and besides its the sure
breeder of strife.
Let's have peaceful primary. And
may the best man win.
We entertain the kindIiest feelings for
the people who are supporting Mr..
Stanley and Mr.. McDermott. We
differ from them like gentlemen should
differ-with a smile and glad hand
like brothers who differ We have
nothing unkind to say of them or of
their favorites.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

Year after year he chronicled
The little towns affairs,
The births, the deaths, the visitings,
The sorrows and the cares,
In his reports of wedding, he
Excelled-For instance, when
''The bride, vision of delight"
Was made so by his pen.
Our graduations were his forte
Held in the Public HalD
At church picnics, ga pleasant time
Was always chad by ALL"
Like murmured "requiescats" were
The "obits" he would write;
His daily comments kindly were,
Nor never charged with spite.
And when the need rose, he'd fight
Straight to the point he'd come,
To make the columns of his sheet
A true Palladium;
He'd hold the "solons" to their task
Their schemes and tricks would call
He wished to curtaiI no ones rights
But sought fair play for all.

WHERE?

In the sworn statement made by Mr.,
Jno. F. White in order to get his name
on the official ballot, he gives his resi-
dence as Richmond, Ky, and his vot-
ing precinct as Normal.
Mr.. White has not lived in Richmond
for over twelve years. We are advised
that for the last or eight years his
family has lived out of this county and
in Woodford and Jessamine counties.
Mr.. White has lived with his family all
the time.
Claiming a residence is not sufficient.
The residence must be an actual one.
In our judgment Mr. White is not
legally qualified to hold the office if
elected
We wish to say that we have no per-
sonal feeling in this matter. Certainly
not against so kind-hearted and cour-
teous a gentleman as Mr.. White But
law is law and facts are facts and the
people should know what they are
doing. The point might be made by
the Legislature that Mr.. White Gf he
is elected was not legally qualified to
hold the Office. Then Madison county
would be without a Representative.
We have long cherished a kindly feeling
for Hon. Jno. F. White and we would
not spring this question if we entertain
ed any doubt as to the correctness of
our opinions.

PROBE ORDERED BY WILSON
President Directs Inquiry Into the
EastIand Disaster.

FTeSloenL OlrectS inquiry Into the
EastIand Disaster.
Cornish, N. H., July 26.-President
Wilson is taking the deepest interest
in the fixing of responsibility for the
disaster to the steamer Eastland at
Chicago. After reading accounts of
the great loss of life, he wired orders
to the department of commerce, that
a searching investigation be made to
determine If any violations of the
steamer inspection laws were involved
in the keeling over of the excursion
steamer. The president is convinced
that the national government has
ample Jurisdiction to bring about the
punishment of persons responsible
for the catastrophe.
The presidents message to Wash
ington carried urgent instructions
that the agents of the department of
commerce begin investigation with all
possible haste.
The president dictated a message
to Mayor Thompson of Chicago, ex-
pressing horror at what has happened
and conveying his heartfelt sympathy
for the relatives of those who per-
ished.

for general purposes. At the close of
business December 81, 1914, the city
was in debt to the extent of S1,320.51.
The large amount spent for lighting

The colleges are paid when their

of $4,978.47. The common school
teachers have not received a cent
this year so far as the State is con-
cerned.
In 1907 the colleges received about
10 per cent of the State appropria-
ton for education: in 1915 they will
receive about 20 per cent. The APP
preparations for the colleges has
more than doubled, while the appro-
priations for the common schools has
increased about rs per cent and the
attendance in the common. schools
has increased about 6 per cent The

The university received $4,000
from the State and $115,307 from
other sources. See report Of State

the remaining $76,942 used? Was
not S34,617 Of it used for bonds that
will be source of permanent income
to the institution? Why should an
increase be recommended?
In the agricultural college we find
100000 from the State and $16,332
from other sources (see same refer
ence as above). Exhibit ga" shows

For farm extension the State gave
$4,000, the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington $4,000, the
Smith-Lever act provides $4,000,
and $4,000 is provided outside,
making a total of $176,00O, or
nearly per cent of the entire State
