THE LOUISVILLE ELECTION.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make ye ready the way of The Lord.
Make His paths straight"
The recent election in Louisville and
jefferson county is a warning to the
Democratic party of Kentucky, IT'S
"taps" for System" in Louisville,
whose bugles note may be heard along
the Kentucky river and not cease to
sound at the mouth Of Benson. IT'S
a sad and unhappy time for the party
in Kentucky to suffer so severe a
blow, and has an i'll forboding When
the party is so decisively beaten in
Louisville and Jefferson county, it
must necessarily have a portentious
effect upon the entire democracy of
the state.
1t is not long before we elect
National representatives, a U. S
Senator, and soon afterwards an
other State administration. Democ-
racy is rule, by the people. 1t is not
always so in fact, but nevertheless
should be so if the constitution of our
government means anything. The
crushing defeat of the socalled lead
ers Of the party in Louisville by the
people" is evidence of the fact that
there has not been the right kind of
democracy and the right kind of rule
in Louisville. IT'S an evidence that
the right kind of Democracy and the
right kind of rule is not in aScendency
at Frankfort.
1t may be said that we agreStics
have no right to say such things
and that we take inopportune
liberties to speak thus boldly. We
did not come into the wilderness to
be reed shaken by the wind, nor a
pillar Of salt looking back upon Sodom.
We have had by these mighty leaders
at Louisville and Frankfort liberties
taken with US at importune times
Democracy will no more forever be
bound, and blindly led by political
machine and boss at Louisville than
the Democracy of Kentucky will be
cheated of its heritage by machine
controlled boss at Frankfort.
We want to see in this Louisville dis.
aster sign of better things for real de-
mocrScy in Kentucky. Occasionally, in
Kentucky politics. some lone, intrepid
youth has succeeded for the while in
winning a nomination and election to
an Office without bowling down in wor-
ship to a boss at Louisville or a boss
at Frankfort. But at that, he was in
danger of being deprived of Democra-
cy's bestowals by the whimsical in
trigue of usurped leadership in the
Democratic party.
We want to see in this wreck at
Louisville sign, for the Democratic
party, that we are abont to enter that
golden era when a man can run for,
be elected to and hold an Office by the
suffrage of the people without secur-
ing through Beelzebub, or Baal, the
consent and endorsement of boss at
Louisville or an oligarchy at Frank
fort, of any clique or party faction.
If this sign is not needed there may
be a more disastrous wreck ahead.
Therefore, fellow Democrats, be
wary make his paths straight

JAPANESE WARNED
Against Spread of Pro-German Senti
ment.

Toxic. June 4 correspondence of The
! Associated Pressl.A warning against
the spread of pro-German sentiment
among the Japanese people has been ut
tered by Dr. lnazo Nitobo, a famous
scholar Through the columns OF pop.
ular business organ, he has declared that
two dangers confront his people during
the present war The first is the pro-
German illusion and tire second the ten
dency to luxurious living.
He said Though Japan Is one Of the
belligerents, we did only little fighting
at the outset OF the war, and for the
rest we did nothing but make gain We
realized unexpected profits through war
trade. Some japanese make no hesita-
ton in offering unstinred tribute of ad-
miration at the German altar.
This is no time for the japanese to
indulge in lauding the Germans and dis
paraging the entente peoples. If Ger
many should win victory in this war and
control Europe, it would be an appalling
calamity for all the states of the orient.
Ii the Japanese were so much bewitehed
by the splendid German organization as
TO adore other Objectionable German
qualities, such as disregard of justice,
humanity and international treaties, it
would be a most deplorabe misfortune
for the nation.
DR., Nito0 condemns the extravaganza
of those who have become rich through
the war, and says they are exercising

What's Doing at the Barre Golf Club.

For the fourth week Of the weekly
tournament there were quite few score
cards turned in, and all of them showed
better results than for the past three
weeks. Some very low scoring was done
and any player in search of points has
to be in his best form in order to get
them. Out of the Ia players who played
in class A, there were only 10 strokes
difference between the first net score and
the last one. Some of the starters at the
game are coming along good, and before
many weeks are gone, they will be right
there among the first winners every
week The tournament committee is TO
meet this week to readiust some of the
handicaps; notice win be given of the
date.
In class A last week, J. +. Walsh wins
first points with very low net score Of
80. l.. r. Hutchinson wins second with
low net of n, while w Johnston wins
third with " net.
In class b, d. Peduzzi, almost a new
one to the game, wins first points with
a met score OF rs. G. Brand wins second
with IA net, while Alfred Brew and Clar-
ence Burke are tied for third place with
rs net each.
In the novice class, Clarence Burke
wins first with IS net d. Peduzzi wins
second with II net, while II. Dawson,
