DISTINGUISHED STATESMAN
PASSES AWAY

In the death of Ex-Governor Nc
Creary. Madison County loses her
most distinguished son, and the
State and nation an able statesman
and legislator. The end came TO the
aged veteran at six o'clock, Tuesday
morning. at his home in Richmond.
His long life of eighty years has
been largely spent in dealing with
public affairs. and few men have
occupied for SO long a time the po-
sitiOns of prominence and popular
ity that were attained by James b.
McCreary.
During his long career he was
hOnOred with practically every
honor and Office within the gift of
the people of his State. With rare
tact and remarkable diplomacy
amid the vicissitudes of partisan
and factional politics. he retained
his friends and made others, and
when at the close of his eventful
public career, he retired from the
governorship in 1915, and returned
to his home in Richmond, there was
probably no public man in the com
monwealth more generally beloved
and esteemed than he.
Owing TO the recent order Of the
State Board of Health fOrbidding
public gatherings, the funeral was
held at the cemetery at ? pm. today
Thursday. The Rev. DR.. Telford.
pastor Of the First Presbyterian
Church. of which Governor Nc
Creary was a lifelong member, had

In addition. stables must be con-
structed for at least $1,000 horses.
This will be about one-half of total
capacity Of camp when completed.
The construction Of the camp is
seriously delayed by shortage of
labor--both skilled and unskilled.
Here is an opportunity for men TO
come under the work or fight law
to get into essential Government
work and at the same time, be rem
dering patriotic service.
President Wilson has said that
the industrial army is equally as
important as the army abroad. IL
should also be matter OF State
pride that Government work be not
delayed or abandoned on account
of men in Kentucky not doing every
thing that is necessary 10 carry out
the Government program. This will
be an artillery training camp and
our soldiers ready 10 go abroad can
not be sent unless a sufficient num-
Der Of officers are trained to take
charge Of them.
Reports show this TO be the
healthiest camp in the country;
situated on highest point between
Louisville and New Orleans. on the
Illinois Central railroad.

The sincerity of the dry people
Of Kentucky is on trial. DR.. Bruner
has been a lifelong advocate OF
prohibition, and his personal hab-
its have rigidly conformed TO his
ideal Three years ago, when the
brewers and distillers were still
dominant in the Democratic party
and powerful in Republican coun-
ellis, DR.. Bruner arose on the floor of
the Republican state convention at
Lexington and proposed resolu-
ton favoring nationwide prohibi-
tion. At the same time. Mr.. Stanley
was the beneficiary, as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, of a colossal campaign
fund contributed by the distillers
and brewers of Kentucky.

When reproached by DR.. Bruner
for abusing the pardoning power,
Governor Stanley's only defense was
that he had pardoned more Repub-
licans than Democrats. All OF
which reminds us that even before
Mr.. Stanley was elected Governor,
rumor had it that his friends were
bertering promises of pardOns TO
mountain Republicans in return for
votes.
