editorial writer, has written an
article called IF / Were Twen-

obby story goes the rounds that
he big republican victory in
louisville was a moral vic
;ory and endorsement of Wood
low Wilson and democratic ma
sional policies. Since Senator
James and Gov. Stanley took a
very active part on behalf of the
Cronan ticket, this idea advanced
by a strong James man, by ap-
pointment, somewhat puzzles our
woolly head; and we wonder
still more at the suggestion that
gubernatorial support and influ-
ence in the coming senatorial
fight will be counted for weight
by the Handicapped, and non per-
soma grata. Politics is a queer
business, and the ''dear people"
are capricious in Kentucky. 1t
was said that pre-eminent per-
sonality in the next senatorial
race would count for less than
the issues of certain principles. !"
Of course, a barbarian is not sup
posed to understand all of this.
Other interesting gossip has it
that strong sentiment is or
ganizing toward shelving the
whole incongruous triumvirate
of Stanley, Beckham, and James
for an entirely new order of men
and things. Fearing the survival
of the fittest, this may have or
iginated in the fertile brain of
some deserving republican, and
is not to be taken with excessive
ridicule.
The congressional races are re-
ceiving consideration too. A
new order is predicted with con.
fident assurance up in the

to be satiated with the vindica-
ton of a prosecuted idol. In the

RS and a greater number of /
school trustees in the state, haz-
lrdously jeopardizing the seven
school term and other re-
forms of the last democratic adj
ministration in all matters per-
tanning to improvement in public
education make it questionable
whether any one connected
with the administration can af-
ford for many years to come, to
face a Republican phalanx in
a November election. There is
nothing new nor much that is old |

Belshazzar's feast and recall with
historic sadness:
MEME, MEME. TEKEL, UP
HARSIN, the double meaning of
which, as is recorded in the COM
mentary, may have been antici-
pated on that memorable night
in room at Seelbachs', when a
Governor was made and a secre-
tary of State unmade. Eli got

of men will view ere long this
modern Warwick on dress parade

Thirty days before the con-
venening of the 1913 General
Assembly, it is difficult to pre-
diet what new Offices will be
created and which ones abolish
ed. A speaker will be elected,
we presume, by executive con-
troll, and the sinecure places as
signed in chronic order. If the
bond of the Fidelity Columbia
Trust Company does not guaran-
tee the collection and paymant
by statutory provision the Bing-
ham inheritance tax, other SOL
ons may not be content to forego
a share in the states treasury
surplus. There is little likli-
hood that other special and as
sistant attorney generals will be
created since the. school fund
has been reduced to a political
normal, the fees for the cost of
which for the first time in his
tory, have been paid out of the
general expenditure fund which
they say now, is regarded as a
sinking" fund; and since the
orphans home is supplied with
two permanently employed at
torneys without additional legis-
lative appropriation. Such Judg-
ments as have not been hereto
fore provided for may be here
after supplied by executive ex
post facto.
An entirely new political dill
emma confronts several pros
pective members of the Legisla-
ture. Some of both parties find
themselves holding incompatible
commissions and may be depriv-
ed of their coveted seats on ac-
count of the priority claim of
the shorter termed Office. They
shouldn't worry about such small
matters. The ones that are &C.
tuaIly needed at Frankfort will
get there anyway, and the
others can better serve the
country in these days of war and
pestilence Back at home. They
will be better satisfied with
themselves when the Journal OF
the 1918 General Assembly has
been published.

Work Done by Red
Cross Workers

The Executive Committee of the
Lakeland Chapter of the American
Red Cross desire to express their ap-
preciation to all who worked in rails
ing Lakelands quota Of the War
Fund and to all who contributed. The
success of the campaign in Lakeland
may be attributed to several factors,
each of which forms link in a
chain:-the twenty-seven foot ther'
mometer, the publicity given by the
local press, the untring efforts and
the splendid spirit of the ladies's
teams. the great enthusiasm and
hearty cooperation of the mems com
mittees under the generalship Of Mr.
DeVane, the cooperation of the
Chamber of Commerce together with
the use of their equipment and the
zeal of Mr.. Holworthy, Executive
Secretary of the Campaign, and
above all the patriotism and gener-
osity of the people of Lakeland.

Capt. H. D Mendenhall's many
Lakeland friends will be interested
to learn that he has been appointed
captain of Chief Engineers of the
War Department, and has been as
signed to draw maps and specifiGar
tions for bridges, wharfs and ter
minals in France. This means that
he will leave for that country short
ly, though so far he has not received
notification as to what time he will
leave. Capt. Mendenhall offered his
services when war was declared, to
the government, and he was first as
signed to Fort Mcpherson, where he
was in training for time Bein :
one of Florida's leading civil engi-
neers, his ability was Immediately
recognized, and he was transferred
to Washington, where he has been
the past month. 1t is probably that

ital with her husband, will accom-
npany him when he is ordered to
