G. w. Miller, fire and police commits.
SiOncr, made no radical changes in the
personnel Of the police department for

there will be no wholesale slaughter of

to abide by his announced policy Of linn
ting the AK to individual cases of dero-
lotions Of duty and treating each Of
teHse according to its merits.
There have been numerous changes IN
the department during the last few
months and there will he others as they
are warranted, according to the com
missioner. The commissioner feels that
1t would be manifcstly unjust to fire a
body Of men against whom there are ~
charges, merely for the purpose of iu-
spring the morale Of the rest Of the
force.

rule to suspend patrolmen on beats
where II has been shown that there Is
open violation Of the law or where there
are violations which the police might
unearth with the exercise Of ordinary
vigilance, The ready market which the
violators Of the liquor law find among

BLACK ON TRIAL

Lieutenant Governor James D.
Black will next Saturday become the
governor of Kentucky to serve until
next December. Gov. Black is a gem
tleman of high character, refinement
and good breeding. He is man of
dignity and has a full sense of the
responsibility that win rest upon him
as the chief executive of great COM
monwealth. In that position we are
sure he will acquit himself with hon
or. He is of kindly and gentleman
ly temperament, but will not be led
by his emotions or through political
or personal influence into an indis-
criminate use of the pardoning power.
He will probably have few appoint
ments to make, but we judge that he
viii select only high class men and
win enter into no trades or deals with
long discredited ofice-seeking politi-
clans. Gov Black is a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for gov
arnor and the manner in which he
discharges the duties of the execu-
tive office the next three months may
have much to do with determining
that race.-Owensboro Messenger.
