STRAY STREAKS
(By Fluke McFluke.)

Judge John b. Wilson caught a
'possum" in Will Gillespie's chicken
coop Tuesday, at low twelve. Now
what we wish to know is, Just what
business did the Judge have in Gill
espie's chicken lot at that hour of the
night? Gillespie was awakened by
the commotion made and got out in
time to get freshly killed fowl, but
we don't know whether the 'varmint"
did 1t or not. Wilson got the pos
sum-" We hain't casten no reflec-
tions, understand, simply recordfn
an item of news as we picked it up.

The message delivered to Congress
Tuesday, is the last regular one ever
to be prepared by President Wilson to
be read before that august body, and,
this, we believe, is the only regular
message prepared by the President
not delivered in person. Whether he
would have followed his usual GUS
tom in this instance had he been in a
sound physical condition is another
question. We doubt however, that
he would have pursued a different
course even had he been enjoying his
former good health, in view of all that
has happened recently. We sympa-
thize with President Wilson and none
can but regret his broken physical
condition. We doubt not however
that his physical ruin was induced by
his own acts-the pace he set during
the two or three years preceding his
affliction was a swift one. He Shout
dered too much weight, he placed
himself as the axis upon which the
whole government revolved. He at
tempted the utterly impossible. 1t
must revolve his way and according to
his manner of thought or else it did
not revolve at all. He stopped at
nothing to have his way and ignored,
completely, everything and everybody
who dared to move in a channel not
traversed ahead by himself. Those
who persisted in clinging to opinions
different from his announcements
whether of his own political party or
not, he crushed and cast aside, where
ever and whenever ne found it IN his
power so to do. This trait in Wilson
alienated every person, almost, of ev-
cry political faith, other than his own,
and even hundreds of thousands of
his own party to him became as
aliens. It was and is due to his
course of action along these lines
that he, as President, was able to
accomplish so little, or practically
nothing during his last two and one
half years as head of the Nation. By
his acts there was not a chance of
his procuring anything he desired.
except ii conceded with the desires
of considerable majority. Beyond
doubt, as we see it, Wilson's over
towering weakness was a clear cut
case of too much self-greatness. Bar
ring this weakness, which proved his
ruin and which completely, or as
nearly so as possible to think Of,
wrecked the great Party of which he
was head. His mental ability and
capacity for thought is to remain un-
questioned. His greatness, for a
time, made him respected, but he
could not be classed as a great lead
er OF men. His style was rather in
the nature of driver, oftentimes he
became a cruel driver. not hesitating
TO lay on, the biting thongs, tho they
cut to the, quick. All who followed
him must admit his greatness along
many lines, yet at the same time, due
TO his tactics, his burning desire to
have his way, and his every attempt
to utterly crush any and all who did
not see thru his spectacles and do his
bidding, he will leave the White
House next March the 4th. unwept
and unloved to an extent far
greater than any President who ever
before occupied that exalted posi-
tiOn.

Col. SlSiEL W. CLARK TO
EDIT KENTUCKY REPUBLICAN

We are glad to read in the daily
press that Col. Daniel w. Clark,
who established the Mountain Advo-
cate several years ago, is to have
charge of and edit the Kentucky Re-
publican, Frankfort, Ky, the new,
redhot Republican newspaper pub
lished there since the Republican
Administration took charge. We call
him Colonel because he is a real
Kentucky Colonel, on the stan OF
Gov. Morrow and has his commits
sion. Col. Clark is well known to
everyone in Barbourville and Knox
County where he resided for many
wears. and quite as we'll known thru
out the State for he was the Repub-
liean nominee for Commissioner of
Agriculture on the O'Rear ticket in
1911. For about two years Col.
Clark has been in the Federal Gov
ernment service at Washington and
has made good, retiring voluntarily
after several promotions in the SER
vice.
He will devote his entire time to
making the Kentucky Republican q
bigger and better newspaper and
help to keep the old State-his first
love-in the Republican column.

of the active field work. visiting the
schools and supplying teachers. His
headquarters will be at Ashville, N.

centuated in the further loss of Mrs.

the hearts of our people. The date
set for their departure is August 16.

AEROPLANE SMASHED

While making an ascent recently,
the airplane of the Barbourville
Aero Co. came to grief. In the de-
scent something apparently went
wrong as before it got up very high
it began to settle back to the ground
and unfortunately struck against a
fence, severely damaging the lower
planes and body.
This plane will probably be in
commission again in Il few weeks.
The management is naturally dis
appointed over its inability to i'm
mediately do business, but the COM
pany will shortly have one or more
planes here so the delay will be only
a matter of few days.

BOOZE IN BARBOURvILLE

Monday night was inebriate night
in Barbourville, a number of our
citizens being seen on the streets
badly under the influence OF liquor.
1t should be Investigated and the
source Of supply brought to light.
One of our citizens was recently re-
turning home from Corbin late and
his car was stopped by a bootlegger
who offered him liquor. This in
formation is offered for the benefit
of the officers of the county. II
would seem that such data should be
sent to the Office of the Federal off,
cials that the bootleggers might be
caught. If it goes on on one road
it is probably going on on others
also.
The damnable stun is running the
happiness OF families and those who
sell it are bringing this about for a
few filthy pieces of silver.
On Monday night a shot was fired
near the center OF town, II is be-
lieved by one OF those under the in
tiuence of liquor.
The end of such affairs is too Of
zen lamentable. Sorrow and disgrace
follow and beyond all this. is the
fact that the law is not being en-
forced. Where law fails, contempt
of law takes its place-then anarchy
Every drunken citizen should be
made to tell where he got the liquor
and the bootlegger should be arrest
ed and sent up. 1t is idle to plaster
on a small fine and let the parties
who make the stuff get away with
their law breaking.
