The Knockers

1t is really amusing to hear
some people knock, not because
they want to. but because they
Just can't help it. No matter
what happens, if we have the
best looking woman in the United
States all the women of the town
get green with jealousy and be-
gins to knock; If we have a BAN
quet, and everything is just as
nice as the skill of mankind can
make it, some one is ready to
swear that it was ordinary slop;
if a man gets up in the pulpit,
and breaches a real sermon, and
tries to bring souls to Christ,
some moss back hypocrit will rise
up and swear that he is preach
ing the wrong doctrine; if one of
our best teachers goes into the
school room and wears out a good
hide trying to pound a little know
ledge into some little fellow who
must run the country in the flu
ture, some little simlin headed
fool will coll him anything but
the right thing; if the editor of
a newspaper sets up at night and
tries to write an editorial for the
enlightment of his readers, some
little upstart that has just enough
sense to come in, out of the rain,
will undertake to ridicule it; even
there are people who will knock
the lodges, a thing they do not
now, nor never will know any
thing about. The cronic knocker
ought to be banished to Mexico,
where they are all the time in
that kind of business, why not
get into the habit of boosting, it
sounds so much better.

made that it will be acceptable

This is Not a One
Man Country.

A good deal of anxiety is being
expressed as to whether or not
this or that man is strong
enough to beat Wilson. For
tunately this is not a one-man
job. The Republican party can
beat Wilson, with any non
factional candidate who stands
clearly and decisively for Republi-
can principles and policies, to
which the people. having expert
enced the alternative, desire and
intend to return. Under Wilson
the country has had about enough
of the 'one-man business" Even
the Democratic party has about
enough. 1t is in the position of
the woman. who in discussing the
| litigation among heirs over the
provisions Of her fathers will,
said: Sometimes when | think
how much trouble the will has
caused. Iwish the old man hadn't
died." The one and only man.
idea in this country is an impor-
tation from Europe, and feudal
Europe at that. Whenever the
time comes that the future of this
country depends upon any one
man. it is time to confess the fail
ure of Republican institutions,
and to apply for a receiver. 1t
was Lincoln, on his way to Wash
ington to undertake the might
lest of tasks for the humblest of
Presidents, " in the midst of a
real and not a campaign crisis,
who said: Not with politicians
not with Presidents, but with the
people" rests the future OF this
republic. In other words this
isn't Mexico, or Venezuela, or an
old world oligarchy; this is a gov
eminent of, by and for the peo-
| pie. If the people Of this coun-
try are competent to govern the
country, there are many men
competent to be President, and
not one of those who would be
competent and safe in the presi-
dency would for a moment put
forward the theory that he could
do the job alone, and that no one
else could. The exalted ego is
what, principally, is the matter
with the present White House
incumbent, and when he goes out
Of office he will leave the most
unsatisfactory record and the
most demoralized party behind
him that is to be charged up to
any President since Buchanan.
Most of his troubles are due to
his stubborn insistence on at
tempting to be the whole thing,
in accordance with his theory
that this government calls for
White House leadership" i. e..
White House dictatorship.

| have been asked by many
friends to enter the race for the

have given the matter proper
consideration and have come to
the conclusion that | will offer
myself as a candidate for that
office subject to the action of the

road proposition and have stood
right behind the Fiscal Courts in
all its deliberations. We have
tried to give them all the doubt.
We have defended their actions
in what we thought was right,
and have refused to publish
things that were derogatory to
their names as officers and good
citizens, we have refused to say
many things that it looked like
ought to have been said. We
are the friend of all of them
personally AM have always
wanted to give them another
chance.
When they were Indicted by
the Grand Jury of Knox County,
we, in spite of all that. tried to
and did defend them from the
onslaught of abuses that was as
we then saw it. unnecessary and
uncalled for.
1t comes to us today that there
is a combination formed by a
majority of them to do as little
as they can toward the making
of the connecting link between
Laurel County and Bell County,
thereby killing what We have
looked forward with the fondest
hope, The Dixie Highway"
We yet have not lost confidence
in this Court. Some of them,
and we will refrain from calling
names, and if there is a kick re-
gistered it will come to light who
it is, is prospective candidate for
some Office in the gift of the
people, and think that by blow
ing hot and cold that they will
gain the favor of the voters of
the County. But that is not the
way to do it. the people of Knox
County want this connecting
link made, no matter which way
you go. but to make it. We have
been told by reliable parties that
if it had not been for the Com
missioner Of Roads for the State,
that long since the Roads of
Knox County would have been as
dead as a salt mackeral, and that
we would had only a few miles
built from the City limits about
a half dozen ways. We hope
that this is not true. We hope
yet in spite of all this delay that
the Fiscal Court and the State
Road Commissioner will come to
a mutual agreement, and let us
have what we voted FOR when we
went to the polls nearly two
years ago and voted an addition
al tax upon ourselves of 100000.
90 that we might enjoy at least
for a while a good road or two
in Knox County.
We were among the first to
vote bonds, and since that time
many Counties have voted bonds
and are going right along build
ing pixies. Harlan County, for
instance, has voted bonds, have
made their survey and have let
the contracts to build their roads.
We are forced to the conclusion
that there is something wrong.
But we are still in the hope that
our Fiscal court will not make the
blunder that is reported they are
about to make. Our Fiscal
Court are credited to a man with
having the ordinary intelligence
and honesty, they are men who
We yet believe will not attempt
to thwart the will of the majority
of the people of whom they
serve in the high and exalted
position that they hold. We be-
lieve that they will consider well
the welfare of the good old
county of Knox. and that they
will not attempt to sprag the
wheels of progress by letting
little personal petty prejudice
get the upper hand of their bet
ter judgement. Until we see

 To the Public.
 In answer to the piece Tn last nights paper in regard to the Paw nee-Pirate game, I wish to state that the writer showed either lack of judgment or ignorance in regards to the rules or regulations of baseball. According to my opinion the whole blame for the abusive game of ball should be laid to the Pirates, who l consider the crabs of baseball in New Britain.
