A GRAVE INJUSTICE.

An item appeared in last Sundays

grave injustice. We do not know

Ohio county is NOT an armed

in all truthfulness that few il any
Of her citizens sleep with weapons
ready at a minutes notice. True,
We had an examining trial here of
men accused Of ''possum hunting"
but II was conducted in a quiet way,
under due process of law. and there
was no excitement manifested. Some
Of the most respected and well
known citizens of the county were
with it. We cannot be-
ieve that any Of the men connected
with this unfortunate affair are ly-
ng in wait for each other with
deadly weapons at hand. day and
night. Ohio county has never been
known as the hotbed of feudists and
assassins. as the above quoted re-
port would indicate, but her citizens
ire peaceful and lawabiding. Except
'ome recent occurrences in two or
hree communities. which are not
endorsed by our citizenship as a
whole. We are a peaceful people.

ADVANCES REASONS FOR
PREVALENCE Of CRIME
In Kentucky-Lack OF Respect
For Law Most Serious
Aspect.
me Louisville Herald says:


The worst thing in Kentucky Is
not its prison system. but lack Of
respect for law was the assertion
made last night BY Daniel <. O'Sul-
Iivan. chairman Of the State Prison
Commission. before a meeting Of
the Mems Federation.
Il can shoot you dead" he said.

If am allowed 10 select some at
torneys | know in this town. and II
am able to raise the money neces-
sary TO paE the expenses involved in
making such a fight, you can not get
jury in Louisville which will send
me to the electric chair. no matter
how unprovoked my crime may have
been.
We have many crimes of vio-
lence in the State of Kentucky be-
cause 1t is almost impossible to Sc
cure a jury which will convict for
the crime of homicide.
Another thing which tends to
produce a contempt for law is the
fact that what one man may do
with impunity, it seems impossible
to convict another man for. Why,
do you know it is fact that negro
chicken thieves are frequently SEN
fenced for longer terms of imprison-
ment than white men are for the
crime of homicide?
As an instance-There is
white man in one of the prisons in
this State sentenced from one of the
Bluegrass counties for offenses
against the banking laws. He was
charged with appropriating thous-
ands of dollars of money belonging
to others. Yet he was hardly in the |
before there came a pc
tition signed by about 500 of the
most prominent citizens of that
county. asking his parole as soon
as IL should become legally posi-
bic. From the same county, and at
about the same time there came |
to the same penitentiary a negro
sentenced for stealing about 81
worth of chickens.
Now | venture to say that the
banker will not be long in the pen
itentiary, but that the negro, for
whom there has not come a single
plea for clemency will. I feel am
safe in predicting. serve not less
than three years.

No one who signed any of the nu-

requesting Judge Birkhead to be-
