Three of the members OF the

Democrats with one Independent.
The legislature will be asked to give
the Board full powers.
The Courier Journal says Sept.
1th9: "Mr. Morrow, Republican
candidate for Governor, is playing
more than smooth game Of politics
when, as he did yesterday, he an
nounces in advance of the November
election his selection for important
appointments.
1t is more than smooth because
it is wise. Its wisdom lies in its
frankness, in its expression of a will
ingness on the part of candidate
for Office to tell the voters some
thing which they. would like to
know. Heretofore the disposition of
candidates has been to puff the pub
lie hope with unlimited promises,
only to allow the people to trust to
luck and then to be surprised and
disappointed.
A Governor must depend upon the
character OF his assistants and
agents for the quality of his admin
istration. 1t has been long a prac-
tice to choose those assistants and
agents by the low test of political
utility instead of by the high one of
qualification.
Kentucky has suffered from high
hopes and broken promises. Its
charitable and penal institutions
have too frequently been operated
as political auxiliaries, rather than
as real asylums for the weak. real
hospitals for the sick or institutions

Helen Roberts, the thirteen year
old daughter OF Il. L. Roberts, Sup
erintendent Of the College Printing
once. Berea. Ky, recently saved the
life OF the baby Of Secretary Vaughn
when she stayed in a runaway auto
long enough to pick up and throw
out the baby which was in the car
with her. Then she jumped and
suffered no hurt. The car was stand
ing on the brow of hill and was
Jared into motion when Helen and
other children got into 1t. 1t dash

when 1t turned turtle and rolled
over and over. The GOODNESS of the
little girl in forgetting self and
thinking instead of the baby stamps

A PROGRESSIVE FARMER

An exhibit that has attracted a
good deal of attention was placed
in front of The Times Office one day
this week by Mr.. w. S. Siler, a farm
er living in the Siler section of Knox
County. The exhibit consists of one
giant stalk Of corn at least sixteen
or seventeen feet high and several
stalks of sorghum cane nearly as
high. The corn stalk has large
ear about eight or eight and half
feet from the ground. Considering
the extreme height Of the ear 1t is
an unusually large one and the
grains are filed to the tip OF the
cob. The cane stalks are topped
with a luxuriant growth Of seed and
make very pleasant sight. Mr. 81
Ter raised this sample on his farm
about three miles from Corbln. and
he tells US that he selected them at
random from his field. Mr.. Siler
belongs to the progressive school of
farmers that are making things hap

SUFFERS BROKEN BACK

A sad accident occurred Friday
when the fourteen year old son OF
Latham Lickliter, living OH the
mountain between Swan Pond and
Stony Fork Gap. sustained broken
back when a deadened tree was
blown over by the wind and fell on
the boys neck and back. The boy
was pulling fodder at the time and
had no warning of the impending
tragedy and tragedy it is since the
poor fellow will probably never
walk again. He was found by
sister who had completed milking
and went to see what had become OF
her brother. Several of the family
are down with the measles also.

PROHIBITION AND TOBACCO

The whiskey interests are des-
perately appealing to the thousands
OF tobacco users in the State by as
sorting that the dry forces. which
include thousands of these same to-
bacca users in their ranks, will next
put the weed out of business. II Is
an appeal which ,he whiskey men
hope will help defeat the prohibit
ton amendment, but the dry forces
state they have no such procedure
under contemplation and the appeal
is but another trick of the dying
whiskey devil to defeat the will OF
decent people.
Vote for the Statewide Prohibi-
ton Amendment and give our young

sented by Mr.. Morrow as his choice

are of such character as to carry

Mr.. Morrow has played strong
card"
In discussing Governor Black and
the charitable and penal institutions
The Courier-Journal on Monday,
Sept. Sth, said:
at is well enough to pledge in
a general way the selection for the
Board of Control, without regard to
their politics, men and women of
highest personal character and Pc
cullar fitness for the work, but
more specific statement OF the meth
DDS intended to accomplish this
would have been desirable. This
omission, however. the nominee
for Governor can adequately supply
by announcing in advance the names
Of those whom he proposes to APP
point to the Boards membership.
IL is presumable that Governor
Black is not less sagacious or less
candid than Mr.. Morrow. II he Is

1t is now not only Governor

1t will hearten his friends and
him in the estimate of
the hesitant who may fear a Demo-
cratic victory for him, to announce
his selection for these important
posts.
The Governor will speak promptly
if he means to give Mr.. Morrow no
in the pending contest;
and he will announce selections of
such fine quality as to bring instant
to the public mind OF
good faith, ability and high con-
science in the future conduct of the
States institutions"
The Times, another Democratic
newspaper, also writes approvingly
Of Mr.. Morrow's action.

TOday's Anniversary

One hundred and sixty-two years ago today witnessed an event that was the real beginning of the British em- ptre in India On the morning of June 23, 1757, Robert Give, a young East India Company clerk, a young head of small band of Englishmen, faced a native army of 68,00O. Gives force was made up of about a thou sand British soldiers and 2,0OO Ind ians- Against the overpowering odds of twenty-three to one, the English cause seemed hopeless The British CTS, however, had the cruel tragedy of the Calcutta Black Hole" to avenge, and on the field of Plassey they fought with a desperation and valor scarce equalled since the defence of the Greeks against the Persians. The battle was short and decisive. Before the determined charge of the Britishers. the Moslems broke and fled. The victory laid the foundation of the British empire in India.
