The case of Uncle Jimmy should

ing too much for granted when called
upon to sit in lunacy inquests It is
natural enough for juror to assume
the accused is insane for the simple
reason he is before the court for in
quiry, and usually the assumption is
well taken. But II has happened be-
fore, and may happen again as i'm this
case, that an old or friendless person
is in somebody's way, and as an easy
way of radiance an effort may be
made to send him to the asylum.
Here was an old and feeble man. with

abnormal of the child, not of the lu

public sentiment induced citizens to
go to the asylum to look into his con-

the man was not a lunatic and had no

holding him for a few days for oh

SIGNS OF THE TIMES
LOOK BAD TO BELL

Prof. n. V. Bell, of Harrodsburg
in Withdrawing from the race for the
Democratic nomination for state SUI
perintendent of schools does not hes
/ itate to state his reason for doing so
Prof. Bell is one of the best known
educators of the state, is a citizen OF
high character, and like Prof. Cherry
declines to submit to the ruthless
machine now dominating the Dem
Ocratic party in the state. His letter
of withdrawal follows:
January 1, 1919, announced my
candidacy for the nomination for
state superintendent of public in
struction subject to the Democratic
primary August 2.
"At that time, l had no other idea
than to make this race to a finish.
Thought Breaches Healed.
81 believed that the factions of the
Democratic party had gotten togeth-
err; that all breaches had been heal
ed, and, that, in the final election,
they would put forth solid front
egainst the enemy.
But recent Developments have
proven to me conclusively that in
stead of union there is inglorious di-
vision; instead of triumphant victory
in November, the Democratic party,
unless it's leaders change their tactics,
is doomed to ignominious defeat.
I'VE had three honorable and in
corruptible citizens to announce
themselves for governor, any one of
whom would have honOred the state
and should have been acceptable to
the Democratic party; but politicians
for weeks have been noising abroad
that neither of these was acceptable.
They have succeeded in horning
one of them off the track and now
are leaving no stones unturned to
sidetrack the other two.
Sealing Doom OF Party.
"As a Democrat. sound the tocsin
of warning to those political chief
tains who are trying to develope gov
ernmental timber, that they are seal
ing the doom of the Democratic party
and are now preparing to delh er the
goods into the hands of the Republic
cans.
81 now formally announce my
withdrawal from the race for the
nomination of state superintendent
of public instruction and trust that
the best man may win.
