IN UNION is STRENGTH

When the democrats are united they
always carry Kentucky by n large
majority and it is only when they
engage in fractional strife that the
rennhlicaus have been able TO elect
their candidates. The leaders OF the
two factions have not only shcathed
their swords, but buried them and
in perfect accord have stood on the
same platform and urged that Ken
lucky democrats get together and
send Gov. Stanley TO continue the
work of the lamented James. II
Senator Beckham and Gov. Stanley
can forget the past and pledge their
support. the onr for the other, there
is no reason that their friends may
not do the same thing and we are
suro that thew will fall into line and
make Gov. SANKEY'S majority so
large that the kaiser will squirm with
horror over how firmly we are stand
ing behind the President in his eff
forts TO put kings and kaisers out OF
the enormity OF trying to govern
without the consent Of the governed.

couNTYs OLDEST WOMAN DEAD

Mrs. Polly Kaufman, aged 96, and
the oldest woman in lincoln county,
died at her home at Hustonville at
an early hour Thursday of troubles
incident to old age. She had been a
widow for many years and there
lived with her her two widowed
daughters Alice Lusk
and Minnie Robinson. These are her
only surviving children, and to them
every heart in the county goes out in
sympathy. Mrs. Kaufman, who was
a most excellent woman, had been a
devout member of the Christian
church for over half century, but
during her latter years her infrmi-
ties were too great to admit of her
attending its services. This after

BOKAYS FOR BEN AND CRIMSON
(Punta Gorda Herald)

Well, there is at least one news
paper in Florida that has some inf1u-
ence and that one is the Ocala Star.
1t fought the ten-mnl school tax
amendment and, at the same time,
published many columns of matter
from County Superintendent Brinson
and other advocates of the measure,
who presented every argument in fav-
or of it. When the votes were count
ed, it was found that Marion county
had gone more than two to one
against the proposed amendment.
Editor Benjamin of the Star, advo-
Gated the adoption of the prohibition
amendment and of compulsory cattle
dipping, and both these propositions
carried by good majorities. The large
adverse vote of Marion county on the
school tax amendment was undoubt-
eddy due to Editor Benjamin's inf1u-
ence as well as to his logic, for the
people of that county have confidence
IN him, knowing him to be thorough
ly honest, conscientious and patriotic.
And they have similar regard for
superintendent Crimson, who is a fine
gentleman and splendid official. and
the fact that the efforts of such a
popular man We're defeated by Edito,
Benjamin adds lustre to the latter's
victory. The Herald cordially con-
graduates him.

LETTER FROM ATTORNEY
GENERAL SWEARINGEN

Editor Star: | have your commu.
nication of the 9Th instant in refer
ence to the Mariana school, but ow-
ing. to my absence from the office for
several days, hence my delay in an
swering sooner.
| wish to state in the outset that if
there is any blame attached TO the
board of state institutions / share
that blame; although from the
stitution L have been consistently
trying to. bring about some improve
ment there, and it has been at my
suggestion that we have repeatedly
paroled boys from that institution
back TO the respective probation Of
ficers, as many as seventy-five or
eighty at time. in order to take care
of the ones detained there under the
limited appropriation made by the
last legislature, but to my surprise
on investigation | found that most of
these paroled boys were still at the
institution, the fault of course in that
case would lie with the superintend-
emit.
We have several buildings under
construction there now, which whe1.
completed will provide place for
vocational education along various
mechanical lines. Since / have been
member of the board we have start
ed shorthand school and small
cabinet shop.
The white side of the institution,
SO far as the maintenance and care
is concerned. is in splendid condition,
but the educational features amount
practically to nothing.
The negro side has been awfully
neglected, but under our temporary
provements have been started, so far
as health and sanitary conditions are
concerned.
| went so far as to state to the
other members of the board of state
institutions and the people in general
that if improvements were not made
in this institution before the conven-
! ing of the next legislature that ]
would advocate the adjustment OF
this institution. / firmly believe that
these delinquent boys could be better
cared for by the probation officers in
the respective communities from
which they came than to be detained
in an institution like the industrial
school at Mariana, as it is now ope-
rated.
As member of the board of state
institutions / do not intend to let up
in my efforts to make this in reality
what it is in name-an industrial
school for boys. as well as in theory
a reform SCHOOL; and as public of
fetal | invite criticism as well as
commentator on my official acts.
Very respectfully,
