A party of men sent out by the
Industrial Department of the l.

upper end of Powell and Wolfe

These men were brought up here

toward that end for some time

Judge Benton
Announces.

In this issue we carry the Off
cial announcement of Judge Ben
ton that he will be a candidate
TO succeed himself as Circuit
Judge of the Twenty-Fifth Judi
cial District, comprising Powell
Madison, Jesssmine and Clark
counties. Judge Benton is too
we'll known throughout the dis
trict to need much comment on
his announcement. For the past
twelve wears he has filled the Of.
fee of Circuit Judge to the en-
tire satisfaction Of those who
have found it necessary to have
recourse to the law. OF course
thare are exceptions. Some have
found that his rigid enforcement
of the election laws was rather
embarrassing, as his action in
failing a prominent Clark county
man met with some criticism at
the time, but in the light Of later
events. that feeling mostly died
out. The majority of the people
have now decided that elections
should he fought on the grounds
of tn. qualifications Of the can.
didates, and not on the amount
of money that that they are
willing TO spend. Judge Bentou
was one of the first judges to
start a "clean election" cam
paign, and it has borne good
fruit, many other judges through
the state having followed his ex-
ample, with the result that
poor man now has as good show
TO win an election as rich one.
Another point in his announce
mcnt that makes hit with the
voters and taxpayers is the fact
that he has saved the Stale more
than 5000 a year la the ex-
pense of trials, rs we'll as large
sums to llugants in civil cases.
Judge Benton has an envIable
record with the Court Of Appeals
as his decisions are very seldom
disputed, the litigants coming
to the conclusion that is almost
useless to contest his decisions,
owing To the fact that the Court
almost invariably sustains him.
This is a big item to those who
are forced into litigation and is
the means of saving hundreds of
dollars to the public.
The experience that Judge
Benton has already had, aud the
The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1915-02-04

splendid service he has given the
public merits the approval of the
voters, and it is safe to say tina
Powell county will give him II
good majority.

Lecture at Central.

On Monday evening Maj. w.
H. MacKellar of the Wentworth
Military Academy, gave in Muir
rell Auditorium what is generally
conceded to be one of the ablest
lectures that Central College and
the people of Lexington have en-
.ioyed in many months. The
subject discussed was the Greek
drama and the treatment was
unique in that it showed the
drama, not as originating in the
mind of the dramatist, but rath-
er as growing out of and express
ing the dominant aspirations and
racial ideas of the Greek people.
They had no revealed religion
as did the Hebrews, but without
knowing Gods will they did it
and through the sympathetic
study of nature and of truth as
they apprehended it, they evolv.
ed a religion, the ideals Of
which bear a marked similarity
to those of the Christian faith
What these ideals were is shown
in the Antigone of Sophocles
humanity, obedience, catholicity
of mind, reparation for defeated
love, joy as an indispensable fea
ture of life and love that set
duty to a loved one above ever
, life itself.

tieing the 'knot" in behalf of
the people.
A bill to do away with the "red
light" districts Of the larger cit
les and forbidding the renting Of
houses for immoral purposes in
any town of the state, was en-
rossed with only Is votes in OPP
position.
The Senate, though late, has
adopted a resolution to drop
from the pay roll all employees
who do not show up for work.
The House has properly refus-
ed to appropriate $4,000 for
Gov. Major and his body-guard
to spend in a pleasure trip to
San Francisco Exposition.
The Appropriation Committee
has recommended 100000 for
Confederate pensions. Of this
sum S91, 1000 is to be used in pay
ing up back pensions on the
basis of so cents on the dollar.
The back pensions total S182,OOO.
The other 100000 is to be used
in the payment of pensions as
far as it will reach during this
year and next. There are now
1.40O INDECENT confederates on
the pension rolls, but this list is
to be revised and only those in
actual need of a pension are to be
kept on the roll.
Saline County, the banner
democratic county in the seventh
congressional district, will pre-
sent Hon. Joshua Barbee of Mar
shall as her congressional candi-
date next year. 1t is held, and
correctly, that while the north
ern counties of the Seventh Dis
trict have furnished the vote
by which the nominee has ever
been elected, yet their interests
have not received the recognition
entitled to, and further believing
that II years is long enough fol
one man to hold his place at the
pie counter, without making
showing, from now on the en-.
deavor will be to have the entire
district represented instead o.
certain parts. Mr.. Barbee is ev
cry inch congressional timber
and in him the Seventh Distric
would have an able, clean and &C
ceptable representative VIII.
would come to the discharge 0
his every duty thoroughly an
efficiently equipped. His recor,
as a member Of the legislator
is par excellent, without spot o
blemish, thus fitting him admir-
ably for still higher and create
recognition in keeping with hi
worth and efficiency. Lafayett
County, not having a candidat
for Congress, Saline's candidat
should have the hearty supper
of the democracy Of Lafayett
County.

which he sought to mix the
state in the matter by having
the Governor appoint a commits

roundly condemned Adams for
poking his nose into affairs not
