not be willing to take the nomination
without knowing something about the
men to be nominated on the ticket
with him. If those nominations should
be deferred until primary day he
could, of course; know nothing. The
convention decided, therefore, com
slider the whole party program and to
recommend candidates for all the
State Offices, and this was done.
This action probably makes the di-
rect primary unnecessary. Represen-
tatives of the Democratic party have
gotten together in a representative
way and decided to support certain
candidates. These candidates will al
most certainly be nominated, and the
primary becomes farce, but an ex-
pensive one, as it will cost tens of
thousands of dollars.
The system adopted in New York
is very much better than the system
followed where nothing is done open
ly before primary day to indicate
whom the leaders favor. OF course
every sane man knows that the lead
ers to, get together before primary
and decide whom they will support.
Where no pre-primary convention is
held, this is all done behind closed
doors, without the public being in
formed as to the arguments made and
the reasons given for selecting certain
candidates, public opinion thus being
denied an opportunity to make itself
felt.
The direct primary is the most in
sidious blow at popular government
OF a generation. The New York plan
is the first intelligent step to minimize
its evils, although a much better plan
would be to repeal the compulsory
primary feature entirely. Post.

lie and with the pledges his speeches
contain to those who are now aiding
his ambitions, he has the impudence
to hold up for criticism legitimate
effort to reward competent men for
the service which they have rendered
to the cause of reform.
This seems to have brought Mr..
Hughes to his senses as he has not
referred directly to the matter since
Mr.. Bryan's pointed structures. Mr..
Hughes seeming determination to
knock everybody and everything
Democratic is proving a boomerang
and he will soon discover that to a
man who lives in such a thin glass
house as he does, it is very foolish
performance to throw rocks.

FOOTBALL
PROSPECTS
Looked Over By Coach NAL
larry Last Night at The
High School Building.

Coach E. N. Mallary met with his
high school football squad prospects
at the high school building last night
and was tickled to death with the way
things looked. A number of new
satellites have been overcome with
the idea Of shining on the gridiron
and are itching for the season to be-
gin.
The coach started them off by CIV
ing them complex play to scratch
their heads about. Tutor Mallary is
one of the believers in the theory that
football is played from the neck up
and he wants to start his men early in
the brainworking part OF the game.
Training rules and other matters were
discussed. The coach has his last
years line and his reserve back6eld
to work on.

THE FIRST DUTY.

II is observed with regret that
many are already announcing. for
county offices to be filled in 1917,
when every effort should be concen-
trated on securing votes for Wilson
and the Democratic nominees for
Congress. AS the Louisville Times
aptly says, this is no time for such
announcements and aspirants for
honors in 1917 should not be per-
mitted to canvass their strength when
a strong pull together is needed for
the work in hand. Such entries for
Offices to be filled in 1917 is bound to
breed factionalism and discord, when
it is most important that these should
be eliminated until the National Elec-
ton is over.
The Republicans are organizing
with great confidence, are using vast
sums of money to carry Kentucky
and are devoting themselves entirely
to the race of 1916. They are not let
ting anything interfere with their de-
termination and Democrats should be
just as determined. Our only inter-
ests for the present should be in
electing Woodrow Wilson, Thomas
R. Marshall, A. w. Barley, D. H.
Kincheloe, R. Y. Thomas, Jr.., Ben
Johnson, Swager Sherley, Arthur. B.
Rouse, j. Campbell Cantrill, Harvey
Helm, William j. Fields, Willis
Station and S. B. Dishman and in this
judicial district, Chas. H. Bush.

WORDS WITH THE
BARK ON THEM.

When he was Secretary of State,
Mr.. Bryan wrote letter to the Re-
ceiver of Customs at Santo Domingo
inquiring as to what positions could
be obtained for deserving Demo-
Gratis" Candidate Hughes quoted
this letter in his speeches declaring it
shameful, and the Commoner comes
back at him like thousand OF brick.
He says that he enforced the civil SER
vice law to the letter with the EN-
ployes of the State Department
wherever it was in force, but he felt
free to reward deserving Democrats
whenever it could be done without
detriment to the service. Then after
declaring that Mr.. Hughes has shown
himself prompt in "discharging obli-
cations" he hands it to him thus:
"When he was candidate for Gov
ernor Mr.. Hughes received the sup
port of the railroads of New York,
and he generously repaid the debt by
vetoing the twO-cent passenger rate
bill. He did not describe that as
shameful. When a candidate for
Governor he received the support of
the New York tax dodgers, the own
ers of swollen fortunes and he paid
his debt by sending message to the
legislature protesting against the in
come tax amendment to the Federal
Constitution. He does not describe
that as shameful.
"He is now being supported by the
railroads of the United States, and he
expects to pay them back by aiding
them to escape state legislation and
find a haven of security in exclusive
Federal control over the railroads;
he is being supported by the Ship
ping Trust, and expects to pay them
back by helping them to prevent
Government competition. He is sup
ported by the trust magnates, and ex-
poets to pay them back by shielding
them from punishment for the ex-
tortion which they desire to practice;
he is supported by Wall street and ex-
poets to pay them back by spending
American blood and squandering
money raised by taxation in order to
guarantee profits on speculative in
vestments.
"And yet, with the record which
he has made in paying his political
obligations at the expenses OF the pub

In the Board OF Commerce each

nights OF the public evening schools
will be given over to the recreation
commission and its work. The un.
derstanding heretofore has been

lish speaking foreigners. There will
he three evenings OF English in
struction and one evening OF games,
gymnastics. debating and all the
other coutless activities of the rec
reation commission.
This means that each OF the 80

have assigned to it trained leader
in physical instruction. These men
will have charge OF game room, a
reading room, gymnastic work. de-
batting teams, calisthenics, lecture
yeries. educational movies, parties
lNr mixed groups, musical clubs, etc.
BY scheduling the recreation"
night on different evenings for the
various schoolS, this work can be
carried on in Az OF the 80 schools
with a comparatively small group of
men from the recreation commits.

A shabby little girl Of IA stood
smiling happily on the steps OF
hospital in an eastern city. She
thought of the sick babies and the
sorroWing mothers in that city,
which il stricken with a scourge
Of children's disease. Yet her smile
seemed to show that life had that
day repaid her for some Of her own
suffering. That girl was Alice En-
gle. Few have heard OF Alice before
or will again, yet Alice poor and
humble, has proved her understand
ing Of the commandment that was
given nineteen hundred years ago.
Five years ago Alice was victim
Of infantile paralysis, now attacking
children in the city where she lives.
Her parents were so poor that the
only medical attention they could
get for their sick child was the free
help of the city. The little girl re
covered from the disease and seem
ingly regained her health, but one
arm was left lame and withered.
Her Iamcncss has been trying on
the girl. whom poverty has deprived
Of so many blessings. She has be.
come shy and d.hident Her teach
crs say she is sweet and sensitive
and seems to suffer greatly because
she is unlike other children. She
avoids the school play that Will make
her show her arm, and has been
panied and embarrassed in trying to
avoid the exercises and recitations
in which she will use IL. Her par
ents feel her atniction and, though
poor. work hard 10 give her good
education that she may earn an
easier living Alice plans TO become
a bookkeeper or stenographer If her
parents can only get her through

A few days ago in her home in
that city whore there are so many
sick babies and Borrowing mothers
Alice read an announcement in 2
paper that brought a thrill OF hap
piness TO her lonely heart. The story
said that qualified physicians OF the
city believe that blood taken from
the veins OF one who has had infan-
tile paralysis and recovered can be
used as a serum to prevent children
in the early stages OF the disease
from being crippled for life
