Mrs. Beauchamp said that while
the Union would like to see parents

injury to young boys by smoking
cigarettes, no movement was on foot

NO EASY JOB TO DEFEAT GOV.
BLACK.

The Lexington Daily Leader, the
official Republican organ of Central
Kentucky, has lucid intervals. For
instance, The Leader says if the Re-
publicans think they will have an
easy job to defeat Gov. Black in the
November election, they have another
think coming. or words to that effect.
The Leader knows how strong
Gov. Black is in the mountain Sec
ton, where Morrow expects his
greatest strength, and appreciates the
fact that his vote in the August prf-
mary. shows that he is just as strong
in the Democratic strongholds. The
nomination of Governor Black has
cast a damper over all thoughtful
Republicans, who realize that the
chances to elect Morrow are vanish
ing into thin air.

WHAT THE PRIMARY INDICATES

The gubernatorial primtry held In
this State on the second day of this
month was a rather listless sort of
affair, but the Democrats have rea-
son to feel optimistic because of sew
eral facts that it demonstrated.
The primary showed that the Dem
ocrats of Kentucky are once more
united. No definite issue has di-
vided the party into factions, and
candidate has been nominated who
halls from the very stronghold OF
Edwin p. Morrow, and one who car
ried not only his own district, but
every district in the State, losing
them by very small pluralides.
And the primary showed, also,
Notwithstanding the light vote cast:
that Kentucky Democrats believed in
the present administration well
enough to uphold Governor Black,
and it presages that when he makes
the race for reelection in November
there will be few Democrats who
will support the Republican nominee
because of his promise to inaugurate
a "house-cleaning" at Frankfort.
kentucky Democrats are apparently
satisfied with the policy of Governor
James d. Black.
Not only Democrats, but indie
pendent voters will support Governor
Black i'm the November election
For they realize that they cannot eX'
pect Kentucky politics to be reformed
by the election of Mr.. Morrow. The
only way to reform Kentucky poll
tics is to reform the Democratic
marty. Whether a Democratic ad
ministration is good or bad, no grea'
Improvement can be expected from
Republican Governor and a Demo
cratic Legislature. The executive
duties of a State Governor now d.
not require ability as much as tn
ability to direct legislation does
And it is here that a Republican
Governors hands would be tied
Moreover, Kentuckians remembe
the Bradley, Taylor and Wilson ad
ministrations, and it is improbabl
that Republican will be electe
Governor so long as Kentuckians d
not forget. ..
Bourbon county Democrats vii
come to the forefront Of the battl
and give the nominee a handsom
majority. The apathy that manifest
ed itself here in the primary wi
have been dissipated by the time tn
November election rolls around, c
even before, and with the worker
putting forth their best efforts tn
ticket will receive a good old-fasf
toned majority.

CARNIVAL COM
PANY PLEASES PARIS
PEOPLE.

For several years the Littlejohn
Carnival Company has been visiting
Paris with one of the cleanest and
most wholesome carnival attractions
on the road. There has never been
a time when there was the least SEM
blance of disorder, or any crooked
ness apparent with this company,
and it goes without saying that moth
ing of the kind would for a moment
be tolerated by Mr.. Littlejohn, whose
name has become a synonym here for
honesty and square dealing with the
amusement public.
The Littlejohn Company will con-
clude a weeks engagement here to-
morrow night, a very successful en-
gagement, from all points of view
The attractions have been of the very
best. and the grounds have been Wis
tied nightly by hundreds of people
who found much to amuse them, ano
nothing at all Objectionable in what
they saw and heard.
The farmers and gardeners OF
Bourbon county owe Mr.. Thos. P. Lit
tleiohn a vote of thanks, in one re
spect, and that is that the coming o.
che Littlejohn Carnival Company tt
this city, has invariably brought raiI
with it. We have even heard Mr.
Littlejohn referred to as "The Rain
maker" a title which seems to n
the occasion. So far as we nav
heard he has interposed no objection
to being considered public bene
factor in this respect.

Carrots As A Luxury.

An indignant and energetic young
married woman of Washington hus-
tied to this Office to rebel against
being profiteered on in carrots. She
ordered one-Quarter of peck from
her grocer. She says the measure
was short and the charge was 20
cents. Then she went TO the COM
mission houses around the Farmers
market and was offered all the car
rots she wanted at $1.50 per bushel.
She paid retail at the rate of 81 per
bushel. They cost the groceryman
less than 10 cents per quarter peck.
When told that Clarence Wilson,
of the fair price committee Of Wash
ington, in the Department Of Justice
building, was the proper person TO
see, she made a bee-line for his
offices.
