SHAME ON
STEELE

or any other person willing to stoop
so low in politics as to make direct
reference to the wife of an opponent,
such as Mr.. Steele does. when he
says that Mr.. Golden married into
the family of a Democrat. This is
false as most he has said is false.
A. M. Decker. Mr.. Golden's father
in-law was once member of the
Democratic party, but for the past
twenty-one years, he has been a Re
publican and that is more than
twice the length OF time that Sol T.
Steele has even claimed to have been
a Republican. Mr.. Golden would
not be understood as in the least
casting any reflection in any wise
upon the worthy good woman VINO
keeps restaurant in Barbourville to
support her husband, at least for
the most part, who has not been self
supporting or family supporting
since he returned to Kentucky only a
few years ago after a long absence,
and after, of course, having been a
failure during that long absence
from his native State, or else he
would not have returned and sat up-
on the stool of do-nothing here in
his County seat most of the time
since his return, but so long as it
pleases Mr.. Steele to make these
unmanly suggestions, let 1t be real
ICED that Mr.. Golden i'll marrying
selected the daughter of a Knox
County, Kentucky family, while Mr..
Steele went to the extreme north
west, if not over into the Dominion
of Canada to find himself a wife.
But we repeat, is it not shame ana
disgraceful to Mr.. Steele to force
this sort of discussion in a political
race. OF course we don't know wheth-
er his wife's family was Democrat,
Republican or what not, but the
truth is, that does not and ought
not. to make any difference, what
ever, in this race. The question is
not what the wives of these men are,
but what are the men? And in this
connection, let us ask, who knows
of any real labor, professional or
otherwise, of any consequence that
Mr.. Steele has done since he has re-
sided in Barbourville, subsequent TO
his return here, a few years ago,
except what little he did as Master
Commissioner of the Knox Circuit
Court while his brother-in-law was
Circuit Judge, and it is we'll known
throughout this section of the State
that any lawyer who is capable of
being County attorney would not
have the position of Court Commits
sioner, which pays but little and re-
quires but meager qualifications. If
this question as to the wives OF can
didates for Office is proper to be
brought into discussion, but which
we insist 1t is not, then 1t would
OF course be proper to take up and
discuss their Church records, and
demand to know to what Church
they belong, what religious sect OF
creed they believe in, and easily can
1t be seen to what absurd and I'M
reasonable length these things may
be carried.
But we are proud of the fact that
the home and family into which Mr.
Golden fortunately married are
prominently identified with one of
the leading Churches of Barboar-

years Superintendent OF the Sunday
school and has often. been signally

having said: How are you, John?"
What John said in reply could not be

There are any number OF faulty
! golf rules such as that which provides
for playing another bail when the
bust ball has been split in pieces.
Why then, with widespread discussion
in favor Of eliminating the faulty
portions, is there backing and filling

game in this country?
Eliminate Rule Here.
To begin with right here at home
at Columbia Country Club there is
every idea of playing matches with
the stymie rule eliminated.
In the women's putting contest in a
stymie the near ball can be lifted or
played at the discretion OF the player
whose ball is nearest the hole.
But" say some OF the players,
This Is a special contest and not a
tournament in any sense and the
women are not violating the rule"
AS far as can be learned the United

This, IL seems, should be looked into,

HANK SHANKSH|TS
FOR .358 MARK IN
THIRTEEN BATTLES

Sometimes a change OF scenery
dement's a person. At other times the

ciaI wonders in the activities of q
ball player.
All of which serves to Introduce
Hank Shanks, the Monaco Marvel
Grih's converted battleship outfeldsr
who has recently been summarizing
EN- around shortstop, and, Incl.
dentally, starting a riot with the old
fail.
And now for the change of scenery
idea. On June %, about 1870 p. m.
Grif announced his lineup. Hank
Shanks, who had been buried down
among the tailenders in the list, was
suddenly shifted to second place in
the batting order
The sudden elevation to the peerage
must have gotten to Hank Shanks'
head, for from that moment he began
to bat like a regular major Lacquer.
And by major Lacquer we mean a
800 hitter.
In the last thirteen straight games
Shanks has hit safely one or more
times. The Monacon has gotten 60
ing with a rush, and has boosted his
regular average from .220 to .254, no
mean feat, for a clear gain Of "a
points.
Since going up to second place in
the batting order Shanks has played
in thirteen games. He has been at
bat 50 times and has landed 10 hits
for an average Of 1888. which is all
that Griffith or any other manager
could expect Of a shortstop.
On a recent visit here Mike Rahoe
expressed himself as .favoring Shanks
TO the extent OF $4,000. Shanks has
been played regularly. and. since be-
ing showed up in the batting order,
has hit like q REGULAR major leaEuer.
