Capt. E. W. Clark, of Hopkins
vile, tried and convicted last week
of carnally knowing a female under
sixteen years and sentenced to ten
to twenty years in the penitentiary,
applied for a new trial and filed
four principal reasons, the main one
of them being that the members of
the jury were led in prayer by one
OF their number just before enter
ing upon the duty of redering a YER
dict in his case. He claims that
this act was highly prejudicial to his
rights. 1t is no new thing for a
jury to engage in prayer and ask
Divine guidance in rendering a YER
dict. Whether in the cold eyes OF
the law this is diverting their minds
from a fair consideration of the
facts and the testimony in the case,
remained for the court to decide
which was against the defendant.
Capt. Clark's plea, however. was
rather new.

BtAKHAM AND O'RfAR TO
TOUR STATE AND SPEAK
In Favor OF An Amendment
Providing For Statewide
Prohibition.

Frankfort. KY. April 5.-Th'
fight for the adoption by both the
Democratic and Republican partie;
Of platforms advocating the submis.
sion to the voters of an amendment
to the Constitution. providing fol-
Statewide prohibition. will present
United States Senator ]. c. W. Beck
ham and Former Chief Justice Ed c.
O'Rear touring Kentucky together
in a speaking campaign in behalf OF
that issue. Their tour will open at
Mayfield. April 10. and they will
speak in that district the next two
days. They will include in their
itinerary every Senatorial district
where there is an election--not less
than twenty counties, Democratic
and Republican.
The announcement that they will
make a joint canvass at the invita-
ton of the anti-saloon league was
made public here by n. A. Pal
mer, State Superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League. after he had
seen Senator Beckham and Judge
O'Rear.
The announcement was accom-
panied by the statement of both
speakers that the canvass will not
be in the interest of any particular
candidate, or candidates, in either
party, but solely for the purpose of
urging the submission Of the amend
ment.
Senator Beckham has just return
ed from Florida. where he and Mrs
Beckham have spent several weeks.
He confirmed the statement of Su-
perintendent Palmer, and when ask
ed if they were to speak in behalf
of certain candidates, he replied
mo, sir; I shall address myself en-
tirely to the issue on which was
invited to speak"
Judge O'Rear spoke more ex-
tendedly. Il am not espousing my
mans candidacy" he said, "but the
Republican party cannot afford to
pursue a cowardly. equivocating |
course. 1t has always been the /
party to meet new issues as they |
arise. 1t must take one side or the
other on this one. There is no mid
die ground to stand on. 1t must be |
wet or dry, and my sole purpose in
this canvass is to arouse
the party conscience on this vital
question"

Our old friend John Henry Thorn
as, who edits a column each week
in Louisville's new Republican pa
per, the Kentucky Sun, has the fol-
lowing editorial in its last issue:
I'VE have the highest respect for
and extend the warmest welcome to
the former Progressive who comes
without apology for his former opin-
ions, and sits down TO share pot luck
with his fellow-members of a re-
united party. but We are out of OIL
i've branches to offer that small
crowd whose shibboleth is, We will
lead or Destroy"
II seems a shame that the Repub-
lican party has run out Of olive
branches TO offer its erstwhile
party colleagues, the Progressives.
However we suggest substitute.
Come down to Hartford. where mis-
tletoe grows by the wagon load. Get
a supply sufficient to keep a branch
hanging over the old Log Cabin
door. and when a Bull Moose is
found standing beneath, "buss" him
right in the mouth.

II is announced that Senator
Beckham and Judge O'Rear will
tour Kentucky and speak in favor
of an amendment to the Constitu-
tion providing for a vote on State
wide Prohibition. Then if the Leg
islature of 1916 decides to adopt
such an amendment by a three-fifths
vote of the members of each branch
of the General Assembly, the ques-
ton will be submitted to the people.
II will be several years yet before
the matter can be voted on, If at all.
The members Of the General Assem-
bly, alone can decide that. In the
meantime all this hubbub that has
been stirred up in the Democratic
party, principally anent the candi-
dates for State Offices, should be
placed in allegiance to await the due
operation OF the statute and the will
of the people.

The utter demoralizing and debil-
itating effect of liquor drinking upon
humans individually or enmasse has
been recognized by the war powers
of Europe who are using their best
efforts TO enforce prohibitory laws
in their realms. 1t is asserted that
John Barleycorn is a greater enemy
of the citizenry and soldiery than
the great cannon and machine guns
of the enemy. The movement is
meeting with about the same argu-
ment and opposition that it encoun-
tiers in this country, but nobody can
deny the common effects Of liquor
drinking. The highest efficiency is
maintained by sober men, anywhere
they are placed.

Mr.. CAMERON'S CONTEST

Election contests are always regret
table. They engender unpleasantness,
entail lot of trouble and impose a
great burden of public expense. We
had hoped there was no truth in last
weeks rumor that Mr.. j. Turner Cam.
eron would contest the election of Mr..
John f. johnson. Indeed We have
understood that Mr.. Cameron himself
did not desire tomake such contest,
but that certain political influences in
Elkton were pushing him on. We re-
gret that he has yielded to these un-
wise and very narrow minded in
f1uences. The County Commissioners
office is no very attractive job at the
best and does not greatly appeal to
many of our citizens. In word, it is
not easy to get the proper sort Of
men to stand for the place, and such
unfortunate performances as this con-
test are going simply to make it
harder yet. The County Commission
ers' Office ought, ideally, to be free
from partisanship. 1t so vita!ly at
fects the comfort ard prosperity of all
our people that it ought to command
the services of our most capable citi-
zens, without regard to partisanship.
If it is going to be made a centre of
small politics our best citizens will
shun the job and county interests will
suffer accordingly.

Interesting Sidelights

Some interesting sidelights are cast
on the late election in the State by a
study of the following figures:
Mr.. Weller polled in the state 1910
more votes than did Governor Colds
borough four years ago and vet was
defeated. Mr.. Godsborough's vote
was lO6,394; Mr.. Weller's, 114,O34.
Mr.. Harrington polled 14,139 more
votes than Mr.. German and yet won
by only $500. In Baltimore city four
years ago Mr.. Goldsborough received
44,o2I; Mr.. German received 42,958.
On Tuesday Mr.. Weller polled 1854,
while Mr.. Harrington pol!ed 5O,l17'
Mr.. Weller's vote in the state. exclu-
sive of Baltimore city, was 90 400. Mr..
Harrington's vote outside the city was
67,417. Mr.. Weller, therefore, defeat
ed Mr. Harrington in the counties by
9S9 plurality.
