voeEL,s mINsTReLs COMING

There are many prominent names
in the roster Of John w. Vogel's
Big Minstrels which will be seen at
the Tabb Theatre Monday, Feb. 10,
Arthur Deming, Tommy Donnelly,
Bobby Gossans, Hazel Davenport,
Claude Amsden and Charlie Fulton
being some of the pre-eminent per-
formers of whom Mr.. Vogel can
well feel proud, for every one of
them has been more than feature
in their individual lines. 1t is quite
out of the ordinary to find such
names as the last three linked with
minstrelsy, for the trio has long
been identified with the master
roles in grand and comic opera,
Miss Davenport being prima
donna ,of the better sort. Mr.. Ans
den is a basso of repute, also not
ed producer of comic opera, his
ability in that line being essential
to the success of the Vogel enter
prise, for the offering this year
smacks of opera to about the same
extent as it does of minstrelsy; in
fact, it might well be called John
w. Vogel's operate Minstrels. "Oh,
Gloria," from Faust, ''Poiiceman's
Chorus" from the Pirates of Pen
zance, the Finale" from Ell Capt.
tan, "The Sextette." from Lucia
and zone Fine Day." from MADAME
Butterfly" being a few of the OPP
cratic interpretations incorporated in
the score of Mr.. Vogers song

day morning at Land & Priests.

Born as lowly as the Son Of God
in hovel; reared in penury, squat
or, with no CLEAN of light or fan
surroundings, without graces, ac-
tual or acquired; without name OF
fame or official training; it was re-
served for this strange being, late
in life, to be snatched from obscur.

supreme moment, and entrusted
with the destiny of a nation.
The great leaders of his party,

plished public men of the day, were

II is immaterial whether we were
for him or against him; wholly i'm
material. That, during four years,
carrying with them such a weight
of responsibility as the world never
witnessed before, he filed the vas,
space allotted to him in the eyes
and actions of mankind, is to say
that he was inspired of God, for
nowhere else could he acquired, the
wisdom and the virtue.
Where did Shakespeare get his
genius? Where did Mozart get his
music? Whose hand smote the
Tyre of the Scottish ploughman, and
stayed the life of the German
priest? God, God and God alone:
and as surely as they were raised
up by God, inspired by God, was
Abraham Lincoln; and a thousand
years hence, no drama, no tragedy,
no epic poem will be filed with
greater wonder, or be followed by
mankind with deeper feeling than
that which tells the story of his life

NO SECU LAW.

The loCuacious spokesman for the
cotoric of one-sided- ballot authors
says the law provides heavy penal
ties for a county clerk who places
on the ballot the name Of a cand-
date who has not filed his nominal
ton certifcatcj Blankenship made
substantially the same statement on
the witness stand. and. at the time,
Judge Slack said he would like 70
see that law; that it was a new one
to him. Neither the clerk nor his ex-
pert ballot attorneys could fed such
n law. 50 the citizens oc Ohio coun-
t., like Judge Slack. are from Mis-
souri, and want 10 be shown. The
law published in an effort to justify
the act Of the faithful (?) clerk
makes no such provision. It fixes Il
penalty fer placing on the primary
ballot the names Of candidates who
have not filed their nomination "a
pers, but not so with reference to the
ballot for the general election The
penalty is simply for the clerk who
knowingly places on the ballot the
names Of candidates who have not
been nominated according. to law.
There is not a word that couples the
filing Of nomination certificates or
failure to file such with any penalty.
Now, did Blanlenship know the Dem
ocratic candidates waro regularly
nominated Yes. no evcrc he knew
IT, and the records IN his Office show
ed they had been nominated accord
iar to ia-.
According to certain reports and
the mysterious filing Of some of the
Republican certificates this same
clerk took a chance on being sub
iected to n penalty if there had been
one provided by law.
Afraid of the law? Did his fear
of the law imDel him to leave his
office and go with high-priced law
yers to OwensbOro. Central City and
Frankfort to prevent being ordered
to print the names Of the Democrats
on the ballot? Was he afraid that
he would be ordered by Judge Slack,
Judge Rhea or the Court of Appeals
to give the people fair chance to
vote, and then be sent TO the peni-
Tertiary for obeying the order? Not
an your life. 1t was not the law he
feared but the votes Of the people |
at fair election.
The published repetition Of tlS
statement which he made in court, |.
and for which he was called down by
the Judge, is (using a war term) |
as well as another exhi-
bton Of faithfulness CD. This, too,
coming through a paper that so re-
Gently "bawled out" the Owensboro
papers for what the Republican edi-
tor termed misrepresentation"
