Francis Weatherford, the work of
the sheriff's Office has been done sat
isfactorily and well. The writer is
regretful of the fact that they are
no longer in office, but hopes that
they will all decide that there being
no other place like Stanford, will
settle down here for good and. all and
live where life is worth the living.
Jailer George F. DeBorde had OPP
position in the general election but
will continue as jailer for the next
four years. His enemies, if he have
any, will not deny the fact that he
has made a most excellent jailer and
if the signs count for anything he
will not only serve the four years
that he was elected for but will be
elected again and again, if he
wants to be. Mr.. DeBorde seems to
be especially skilled in handling pris-
oners and none ever leave his bas-
tile who do not speak kindly of him.
Jailer DeBorde fills the office well
and he and his excellent wife make
the unfortunates as comfortable as
possible while they are in confine-
ment, believing that in most cases
prisoners are confined in order that
they may be securely held and not
as means of punishment.
Mr.. E. d. Kennedy is now ex-as'
SCISSOR, James N. Cash having been
elected to the Office to succeed him
Mr.. Cash made a great race for the
nomination, defeating John c. Pep.
Piles, one of the most popular mer
in the county. He won in the fina
election over Simon Petrey by near
ly 500. Mr. Cash is one of the mos

thing. 1t is whispered that Mr.. E. d.
Kennedy will be one of his deputies,
but about this the l. J.. does not
know, but it does know that he
would have a hard time finding a
more competent man to assist him.
The new assessor is one of the clev-
crest men in the county and is a
natural born hustler. The word fail
is not in his vocabulary, even if John
Peoples did think he would put it
there for him when he ran against
him.
County Clerk G. 3. Cooper had no
opposition either in the primary or
the general election. He fills the Of
flee so well that nobody wants a
change and he just goes on succeed
ing himself without trouble. A born
clerk and knowing the records of his
office as no on else ever did, or per-
haps ever will, he is in every way
qualified to fill the Office well and
satisfactorily, and that he is doing

TO TAKE CHARGE TONIGHT.

Mr.. George T. Wood, who was
elected by the city council as chief
of police of Stanford, will take
charge of his Office tonight, when
Chief B. ID. Carter relinquishes the
Job. That Mr.. Wood has a hard road
before him, none who know the work
that he will have to do will deny,
but it is hoped and believed that he
will prove equal to the occasion and
make an officer that Stanford will
have every reason to be proud Of.
1t may not be amiss to say here that
the best way to help an officer along
is to give him moral and other sup
port. Stanford people of all classes
should give Mr.. Wood this support
from the start and thus prove
to him that they are with him under
any and all circumstances in the dis
charge of his duties. Mr.. Carter,
the retiring officer, has not had that
support as he should have had, but
notwithstanding he has done well
and leaves the office with probably
more friends than any police officer
ever had after serving as long as he
hasten years.
The interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1912-1984, 1918-01-11

ence of several years, he will be able
to do better work during the four
years just begun. Sam M. Owens,
magistrate from the Hustonville dis
trict, has served his county as sher-
iff and jailer and filled both of those
offices most satisfactorily. Of course
he will make a good squire. T. l..
Tucker, who will represent the East
End in the fiscal court, is a son of
Mr.. w. T. Tucker and fine young
man. He has had no experience in
the Office that he will be sworn in to
Monday, but there is no doubt about
his working all right after little
training. Henry Hall, the only re-
publican who will hold Office in Lin
coin county during the four years
just begun, will represent the Way
nesburg magisterial district and from
what we can gather he is of the sort
of man who will do it well.
The interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1912-1984, 1918-01-11

well. The soul of honor, determined
TO do right as he sees right and
scrupulously honest, his official ca
reer extending over a generation is
excellent and without faint of sus-
picion. His record is one that any
man should feel proud of. The In
terror Journal has watched Judge
Bailey's services in Office and feels to
congratulate the county on having
had a man of his splendid type at
the head of its financial affairs.
AS sheriff Mr.. H. C. Baughman,
who was elected without opposition,
will make most acceptable one. He
is a fine business man, a gentleman
under any and all conditions, and
those having business with his Office
will find him a splendid man to deal
with. He has named Messrs. X. T..
Lewis and John T. Bingaman as his
deputies and the trio would be hard
to beat for efficiency and service.
The retiring sheriff, Mr.. J. G..
Weatherford has not only made good,
but he has made a legion of friends
as well. Assisted by W. S. Drye and

of the county it is never allowed to
leak out. Supt. Singleton knows how
to manage pupil, teacher and trustee
and the more they see of him the
more popular he grows with them.
Like County Clerk Cooper, the
chances are he will die in office. Any
how, we hope he will not have to give
it up until he is ready to do so.
John Meeks, Lincoln county's cor
oner, is as good democrat as ever
wore shoe leather and is also mighty
clever man. We hope he will not be
called on often, but we know that
when he is called for he will answer
ready. He is no Stacker nor shirker,
but a man who will do his duty and
hew to the line regardless of where
the chips fall. He is a Wayne county
product but has lived in Lincoln coun-
ty county long enough to establish
himself well, both as a citizen and a
democrat.
J. Tommy Dudderar had no OPP
position for magistrate in the STAN
ford district and will serve another
four years. He has made capital
magistrate and profting by expert

fort, none who know the sterling
qualities and ability of the man will
gainsay.
Judge T. A. Rice, who succeeded
Judge James P. Bailey as county
Judge, walked into the latter's office
about 8 o'clock and was given warm
welcome by him. Judge Bailey very
cleverly offered his services to his
successor whenever they were need
ed. Judge Rice, who has just begun
to fill one of the most important Of
: fees in the county, is well equipped
for the task. A man of fine judgment,
a good thinker, and withal, having a
good store of common sense, he will
conduct the affairs of the Office with
credit alike to himself and the cOun-
ty. Judge Bailey, who has been judge
for several years, has set a high
standard and Judge Rice can hope
to do no better than keep the Office
as it now stands. The retirement OF
Judge Bailey to private life is the
source of general regret to the many
who know the man and know him

it, no one will deny. It comes as
natural for Mr.. Cooper to make a
good clerk as it does for the average
man to eat, and here's hoping that
his health will permit him to succeed
himself again and again. To his le-
gion of trends Mr.. Cooper is as
much of fixture to the courthouse
as is the big clock in the cupola.
When T. J. Hill, Jr., defeated W..
s. Burch and w. B. Hansford for
the nomination for county attorney
he proved himself runner Of no
mean pretensions. Burch was thought
to be unbeatable and Hansford was
thought to be some Splinter, but Mr..
Hill put them to sleep so soundly
that they have hardly awakened yet.

Stanford bar, but he is successful

MRS. MILDRED sTIcALL DEAD

Mrs. Mildred Stigall, widow of the
late Hiatt Stigall, died at her home
in the East End and was buried in
the Crab Orchard cemetery at 1 o.
clock this afternoon after services
conducted by Mr.. J. C. McClary, Of
this city. Mrs. Stigall was one of the
very best women of her section and
her death occasions great sorrow in
the community she lived in so long
and where her influence was always
for good. Her husband, who was one
of the most substantial farmers of
the county, died in June 1914, and
the shock was such terrible one to
her that it likely shortened her
days. Deceased is survived by two
daughters, Mesdames John Hunter
and Hugh Logan, and two sons, Ed
and James Stigall, all of Crab Orch
ard.

at once they took their places. DR.. w.

the Legislature, left on an early

SMITH RESIGNS AS
HEAD OF CENTRAL

New York, June IA. H. Smith,
Regional Director of the Eastern
Railroads, resigned the Presidency
yesterday of the New York Central
Railroad and of 125 subsidiary rail-
roads and terminal corporations. The
Board of Directors elected W. K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., to succeed him.
. Mr.. Vanderbilt will not succeed A.
H. Smith as the executive manager
of the New York Central and the
other roads for the Federal govern
ment. It has been stated in dis
patches from Washington and is gem
orally understood that the appointee
of Secretary McAdoo will be Patrick
E. Crowley, now Vice President of
the New York Central. Mr.. Crowley
represented the New York Central in
the negotiations carried on between
the Board of Managers and the rail-
road brotherhoods during the wage
disputes of the last two years. Mr..
Crowley will resign as Vice President
if the appointment to operate the
New York Central lines for the ma
ton falls on him.
Mr. Smiths resignation followed the
order of Director General McAdoo re-
duiFing that Federal Administrators
of regional railroad systems and of
single lines should separate them
selves from railroad interests under
Federa1 control in their territory.

RED CROSS ORGANIZATION

HE ORIGINAL vpe of organization for Red work
based upon methods used in obtaining funds Tor
quas-pubc charities The first Bridgeport collection began
cards bearing the of prospective gvers
These cards were distributed the recent Red Gross
drive, and collections made upon them good fortune
patriotism and generosity permitted.
Two Red collections, Y M G. A. and K of
collection have largely ampfed the cards. But something
else has happened The difference between Red Gross col
collection for private charity is fundamental The
collection has the fact of moral compusion behind
it, duty give lies upon every individual 1t is
duty almost equivalent to the duty to pay taxes
follows therefore that Red Gross taxation for such it is
ought to be distributed with much equity possible to all
who ought to bear it.
For this purpose card system at present operated
insufficient It will be discovered upon careful analysis
the recent collections that group giving was in the whole
just and comprehensive than individual giving
That is to say who solicited in groups gave
equaby largely than those solicited Individuals
the means of the givers being considered.
The to 81 collection example of the justice and the
efficiency of group giving But such collection could not be
imposed in the interest of quasi private enterprise of peace
nature.
The saloons operated group The result was
somewhat larger and decidedly more equitable giving
the other hand small mercantile establishments, gro
Gerry Stores butcher shops drug stores and the like taken
by individual assault with the result that substantial
crprses gave much less than justice required
The suggestion most readily appearing is that in subse
quen drives the group SYSTEM should be adopted far pos
sible Classification matter determined upon the
available evidence Grocery stores might form group butch
shops another lawyers another docors dentists and
yet other groups each be handled by representative
mee of its class this committee aided and assisted by
Red Cross advisers and to form part of the Red Gross
nizahon.
The team system it is operated is very wasefu of
effort though it is much improved what was when the
Red Cross began fails to discover all gvers and hence
works nequty between those who give and those

Whether will be discovered that organized scientific
giving principles closely analogous to taxation is the best
method time will tell. Perhaps there should be war chest
and all calls should be met from the proceeds of single
lection, to be called in in needed
1t will not be overlooked in speaking of organization that
the present type of Red Gross collection has to commend
circumstance that the agitation operates propaganda
does much to stimulate effort and production This
feature be preserved while the method of collection
made less wastefu, more just and more scientific.

csms of the present battle since its beginning They agree

ency of the German machine which has been thirty
forty years in the making
1t is quite true that the Germans have made marked
gains They have taken ten miles Of front up the Marne

that 100000 men repeatedly disable 100000 men, there
must be talk of efficiency until the greatest loser has

How many men have the Germans used, how many have

CARDINAL FARLEY
IS ATTACKED BY
The Sim FE|N

New York, June 1.-The Gaelic
American, organ of the Sim Fem or
ganization in this country, in it's issue
yesterday prints a bitter attack on
Cardinal Farley and a large number
of prominent Catholic men and wom-
en-, most of whom are resident in this
city. The article, which takes up
two columns on the first page, is
captioned Cardinal Farley Bows to
Anti-Irish Bigots." The paper,
which is edited by John Dewey, one
of the most active Sim Fein propa-
gandists in this country, says that
Cardinal Farley "inferentially con-
and nine-tenths of the people of Ire
land"
The attack on the Cardinal is bas-
ed on the letter written by Mgr
Carroll, the Secretary to the Cardi-
nal, to Mrs. Francis c. Barlow, in
which Mgr. Carroll, speaking for the
Cardinal, said that the Rev. Peter E.
Magennis, Assistant General of the
Carmelite Order, will not be permit
ted to remain in the archdiocese of
New York" if he attempts to preside
at such meetings as the recent Sim
Fein mass meeting in Madison Square
Garden. Father Magennis presided
at that meeting, which was held on
May last, and which proved to be
one of the bitterest anti-British gath
erings ever held in this city, some of
the speakers including the United
States in their denunciations.
Among the persons named by The
Gaelic Americans as "anti-Irish
bigots" are Mrs. Granville T. Emmett,
Mrs. Montgomery Hare, Arthur Ise-
lin, Mrs, Nina Larry Duryea, Mrs.
Francis Men. Bacon, Gilbert Colgate,
Mrs. Brayton Ives, Mrs. Pierre Jay,
Mrs. William Jay, Rush Taggart, and
| Howard N. Potter.
John ]. O'Leary. brother of Jere-
miah A. O'Leary, the fugitive Sim
Fein agitator, failed in his effort to
have his bail reduced from $780,
yesterday. John ]. O'Leary is charg-
ed with having aided in the escape of
ms brother, who disappeared ten DAYS
| before he was to have been placed
on trial charged with sedition.
