we would ask how under heaven

WE TOLD YOU SO

Some weeks we gave an &C.
count of the speaking at the
Court House by the candidates
for Circuit Judge.
We showed how R. S. Rose
ran J. c. Bird thro the thrashin9
machine and mommocked him
up so that his own mother
would't have known him.
And we predicted that that
would be the last joint debate
between r. S. Rose and j. c..
Bird in this campaign; for we
felt satisfied that Birds friends
and hackers wonld never let F..
S. Rose get his hands on their
pet again if they could help it.
Our prediction has been fulfil
led sooner than we expected.
A night or two ago r. S. Rose
was on the train going from Cor
bin to Barbourville.
J. c. Bird, without letting Rose
know anything about it or in
viting him to be present had
spoken at Grays, d, at Eman-
uel, a small station between
Gray's and Barbourville, got on
the same train Rose was on.
Rose was sitting on a seat be-
side a lady, and when Bird cam
down the aisle in the train Rose
spoke to him pleasantly and
courteously and asked him where
he was going.
Bird, who seemed to be in a
bad humor. fatty replied that it
was none of Roses business.
Being with a lady Rose could
not resent this insult and simply
replied IAN right, No offense. +"
n When Rose got off the train at
rbourville he learned that Bind

a chance to find out whether he
is fit and worthy for the place is
too much like getting goods un-
der false pretenses to suit the
honest good people of the dis
trict.
But even at that, you can't
blame Mr.. Bird very much. His
fierce hunger for Office has kept
him running for everything in
sight, from Police Judge of Will
liamsburg to Congress on the
Progressive ticket-kept him
running ever since anybody can
remember-and still keeps him
running. He never got there
but once; and that $4200.00 sal
airy looks mighty good.
But even for all that he'd rath-
err lose the office and the salary
than go up against that buzz saw
Rich Rose, again.
Besides, he knows that Lincoln
once said that a man may fool
all the people some of the time,
and that sounds hopeful to him.
But he knows also, that the
only chance under heaven he has
to do that is to deny the people a
chance to see and hear himself
and Rose on the same stump at
the same time-a chance to take
the measure of each one of them
as to ability, character, qualif-
cations land fitness for Circuit
Judge.
If you wanted an office as bad
ly as he has always wanted one,
you might be tempted to do the
same thing, Mr.. Reader; even if
it does look like obtaining goods
under false pretenses.
Every body is compelled to ad-
mire the courage, candor and
honesty of R. S. Rose all through
this campaign.
He promptly accepted Mr..
Catron's proposition that they
all be examined as to their quail
fications for Circuit Judge and
that the man making the high
est grade be the candidate and
all the rest quit.
He offered to Mr.. Bird to quit
the track and let him (Bird) be
elected-as he surely would be
if Rose were not running-if he
Bird would show to the people
in that crowded court house that
he knew even a little of the
simplest part of law.
And now, so far from trying
to hide out in the brush and bush
whack, he is asking Mr.. Bird
and all the other candidates to
come out in the open, to go. alb
before the people, lett
the people see and hear them all
together and thus give them a
chance to satisfy themselves who |
they want to vote for. j

House at Artemus and asked him
for a division of time. and a joint
discussion at Artemus and that
Bird should meet him [Rosel Mr..
Catron and Mr.. Lay and make
out a list of speaking dates over
the three counties in the Dis
trict.
Bird refused to grant a divis-
ion of time and a joint discussion
at Artemus and refused to meet
the other candidates to arrange
for the list of speaking dates ov-
er the district, saying that Rose
and the others could make their
own dates and go where they
pleased and he would do the
same.
The reason he gave for his re-
fusal was that he didn't propose
to draw a crowd for Rose to
speak to, and that Rose couldn't
draw a crowd for himself; which
seemed as plausible as his state
ment that he didn't want Rose to
quit the track; which he made in
the Court House on the first day
of Circuit Court when Rose offer
ed to quit the track if he Bird
would give a definition of con-
tract, or pleadings, of equity, of
eligibility or name the subj ects
an applicant for a law license is
examined on.
In the meantime Mr.. Catron
issued a challenge to the other
candidates to meet and prepare
a list of speaking dates over the
District for the candidates for
Circuit Judge and Representa-
tive.
This challenge Rose promptly
accepted.
Bird had already refused it,
just as he refused to accept Cat
ron's challenge for an examina-
zion of the four of them touch
ing their knowledge of law and
the duties of Circuit Judge,
which Catron made on the first
day of our Circuit Court: and
just as he had refused Roses
challenge to quit the track if he
Bird would show that he knew
even a little law.
At this writing "wednesday
noon) Mr.. Lay has not been To-
Gated and it is not known wheth-
err he will accept the challenge or
not.
We sincerely hope he will.
We would hate to believe that
there is two men on the track for
Circuit Judge in this great Dis
trict who are afraid or ashamed
to meet their opponents on the
stump and let the people see
them all together and compare
them one with the other before
voting, between them.
Some of Birds friends are all
ready saying that they thought
he was a Gamecock Bird; but
will have to change their views
and believe him only a Dunghill
Bird.
We understand that Messrs.
Rose and Catron have made out
a list of speaking dates over the
district advertising candidates
for Circuit Judge and Represen-
tative to speak at certain times
and places and inviting all the
for those offices to be
present and take part.
We hope that it is true.
And we hope Mr.. Lay will ac-
cept the invitation and that Mr..
Bird will see the folly of his
course and come along with the
others.

the voting have a right to see all
the candidates together, ask

ADVANCE ON TRIESTE
 BROUGHT MONITORS
 INTO ACTIVE SERVICE

Grado, Gulf of Trieste, June 29- British monitors played an important part in the Italian advance upon Trieste They took up positions mid- way up the gulf where their guns could bear upon the aeroplane han gars, and the multifarious military es- tablishments which surround Presecco and Contovello. twin villages upon the main road and railway to Trieste, both constituting important depots for the Austrian air service and general SUD- plies.
 When the first gun spoke a great shell went hooting into the distance and an Italian scouting hydroplane duly marked it down upon the rail- way line south of Prosecco. The sec ond shot landed a little north of the first, hitting the railway again at a point where a Trieste-bound train was passing. The train vanished in ruin.
 Then other monitors arrived at their stations, and the bombardment con- tinued in tremendous, measured rhythm. Each monitor fired two hours. They smashed the hangars, dattened the railway station of Pro- secco, destroyed the railway and via duct, and produced at great fire near Contovello, whose peak of bright flame was visible out into the gulf.

PLENTY OF ROOM
 IN FLYING SERVICE

Washington, June 2s.-After Aug. 25 the government expects to Eradu- ate prospective army flyers from pri- mary college courses into advanced flying fields at the rate of 200 per week. This number will be largely increased as the war progresses.
 At present there are about 800 stu dents at the lower schools Men are being delegated to the work in eight colleges at the rate of twenty-five per week each. Other colleges with mod branches will be added to the chain of institutions giving primary theor- etical training in aeronautics
 Brig Gen. George O. Squier is anx- ious to have young men who are in terested in the flying service come forward and enroll by the thousands. Soon after the declaration of war large numbers of acceptable young men were turned away from the ayia- tion branch of the army on the be- lief that the flying camps already were swamped. Now that the eavia- ton programme has expanded, there is no lack of opportunity.
 The modern army flyer must be keen witted, level headed. human dynamo of energy and nerve The SOdASO OA oloQy at 4s>IHo schools, although fascinating, requires quick thinking, constant application and absolute accuracy. The first course, devoted to theory, lasts eight weeks. Those who can pass the ex- aminations at the end of this period are graduated to. the aviation schools, where they are given instruction in practical flying over a period of time varying from three to four months.
 Flying cadets are called upon to prepare for examinations in the fol- lowing subjects: Engines, cross coun- try and general flying, signalling and wireless, theory of flight, aerial ob- servation, gunnery and military stud ies.
