bition of the liquor traffic in all OF

The liquor men are whining over
the financial losses which will come

sum. Of money that have invested in
the traffic. Where did they get this
money? Was it in legitimate trade?
, Did the people from whom these mil

every distillery and warehouse in the
State Of Kentucky represents the
blood and tears of the men, women
and children on whose wreck and ruin
the wealth of the liquor interests has
been erected.
Mr.. McCbespev. candidate for nom
ination for Covernor of the State of
Kentucky. dares TO lift his voice
against this awful traffic and the
riot and ruin il has wrought through

and, as might be expected. the liquor

try should receive a telegram from
the devil that so many drunk
ards had been sent TO hell through
the operations of their craft. that in
their sectioon of perdition birthstone
was becoming exhausted and the fires
were going out. and that after sever
al tests he had found that Kentucky
whisky would make hotter fire than
birthstone, and he wanted to order
at once fifty millions of gallons of
whisky TO continue the torment of
lost dunkards, and that he would
guarantee TO pay the distillers an ex-
ira fifty cents on each gallon at once.
every ditiller in the State would put
on extra force, run day and night,
cancel orders and turn a sluice of
their liquid ruin down 10 the pat to
keep the fires burning on the miser-

FIST FIGHTING.


 Some interest has been excited by a recent petition sent to the Navy De partrnent. that fist fighting be permit ted the students in naval schools in settling personal disputes. as a means of promoting manliness.
 There are a large number of peo- pie who believe at least that boys Of school age should settle their own disputes with their fists One raan who has raised up a good sized family with a kindly hand. says that when he heard his boy complain that he got his son still another, to teach him to fight better next time.
 But in mature life the trouble with physical combat is that it does not settle the justice of disputes. The big man. heavy in beef and brutal in muscle, becomes too arrogant. Tho fact that a man Is puny of stature does not mean that he has no Justice in his cause. If he must suffer not merely the original wrong, but a lick : ing in the attempt to right it, his lot is indeed hard. As the principle of arbitration spreads, the power of the fist diminishes.

 t Judge Wilder at once acquiesced in tho request. of Finkelstone, and John P Gray, the assistant prosecuting at torney, offered no objection Tomor- row morning, the two men will be re- arraigned in the city court.
 Supt. Birmingham said today that he expected there would be d press about the city court tomorrow when the cases of the men are called. Ow- ing to the limited capa city of the court room, there will be, a restric- ton imposed upon the admission of spectators, after the seating capacity of the court room is reached. Members of the Textile workers union c1aim<that >r4e trouble at the textile plant yesterday might have been averted if the police had adopt ed more conciliatory tactics in handl- ing the situation.
 The arrest of the woman brought a mighty protest from the men in the vicinity. They assert that the police roughed the crowd and incensed the pickets and other employees in the vii cinity to such an extent that violence which otherwise might have been avoided was the inevitable result.
