A Busy Court Day.

Monday is County court day at
Stanton and very important day
it is. There are two Commission
cr sales to take place and lot OF
oil leases will be sold for taxes be-
sides the regular court docket.
1t is indeed to be regretted that
there are so many tax dodgers in
the oil business. While some very
few of the operators in this county
have Willingly paid their tax with
out murmur. Most of them seem
only contentcd when they can get
a lease for nothing, make millions
out of it and cheat the county out
of a penny's tax. But there should
be no malice held against the gen.
tlemen who are in the business and
they should be given every form OF
protection and encouragement.
The unscrupulous should be chok-
ed out to leave room for the opera
tor of honor whom we need as bad
ly as we do not ncen the one of dis
honor.
There will not be so much troub-
lie next year, since the oil license
system simplifes matters very much
and there also seems to be a num-
Der of fair-minded new men enter
ing the field. To these we extend
a most welcome hand.

Welcome, New Oil Company.

The Wells Oil & Gas Co., of New
port, Ky, has purchased a number
of leases near Clay City and will
sink several test wells this summer.
-Four members of this company
were here Friday and went out and
looked at the property they bought.
They all seemed to be very pleas
ant gentlemen, and were much
pleased with the outlook for oil
hereabouts.

Cantrill to Run Again.

Congressman James Campbell
Cantrill has let his friends in the
Seventh District know, some by
written announcement and some by
word of mouth, that he will make
the race for denomination for Con
gress this fall. So far no other Dem
ocrat has been suggested for the
nomination and it is not likely the
Congressman will have any opposi-
ton. This being true it is not with
in the bounds of possibility for any
Republican in this district to defeat
him, when one considers his pre-
vious contests and the majorities
he has been given in the district.
Mr.. Contrill's endorsement of wo-
man suffrage and his vote for the
amendment made him many friends
in the district and showed he had
the capacity of the really big man
to change his mind when convinced
he was in the wrong. Lexington

Two More States Dry.

May lst New Hampshire went
dry by the liquor prohibiture meas
ure passed last year. At the same
time in Michigan the Prohibition
constitutional amendment took eff
feet. There were 500 saloons to be
closed in New Hampshire and 3,2S5
in Michigan. The operators of these
saloons, at least 10000 in number,
who have been wasting their time
and using valuable wealth created
by others, should now make their
presence revert good to these states
in the production of food and
clothes for the needy. This is a
nice way of turning debauching
consumers into honorable produc-
ers. There are l, 100000 others of
their like that should be treated
likewise. Then the question Of win
ming is settled.
