CIRCUIT COURT NOTES

For the last week the time of the
Court has been occupied largely with
the trial of common law and equity
leases.
Last Monday was the time to
which the grand jury had adjourned
over. They reconvened on that day
aud vigorously took up the unfnish-
ed business and are returning a
goodly number OF indictments
against moonshiners, bootleggers,
lie swearers and other violators.
There is ne question that IL the
grand juries hereafter follow out
and keep up the work that the pre-
sent one is doing moonshiners and
bootleggers will have to go out of
business. -
1t is proverbial that men knowing
about the violations of the liquor
law will in many instances under
take to falsely swear in order to
protect them. Judge Rose instruct
Ell NHt BFdHu. jury mOiiuuy budl III
every instance where a witness be-
fore the grand jury swore falsely in
failing to tell about the violations of
the law of which he knew or to pro-
tect his bootlegging or moonshining
friend or any other criminal, to in
diet the man for false swearing and
.not to fail: t6s do it and the grand
jury is acting on that instruction
and going after the criminals.
The County Attorney, james s.
Golden, in. helping Judge Rose to
unearth violations of the laquor
law last week has done some valian,
service.
Many men who refuse to tell the
names Of bootleggers from whom
they get liquor have been sent to
Jail until they did tell and that has
had o very salutary effect.
The way Of the transgressor Is
certainly hard and will be harder,

WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Quotation from address delivered
by Hon. J. B. Snyder at Commences
ment of Barbourville High school.
April 22nd, 1921.
Woman Suffrage is an important
subject, of which many educated
people are woefully ignorant. Many
hailed this most recent movement
with joy and acclaim, while Others
looked upon it with horror and dis
dain. II matters not whether you
or believe in Woman Suffrage, be-
cause IT is here to stay, so what
will we do with It.? Are we goinE
to study il and make the best OF itf
Or will we act the part Of the anar-
chist. who says, II do not believo
in Government" II matters NOT
whether he believes in Government.
We have Government, we study II
and we make the best of 1t. So if'
behooves both men and women "a,
throw aside their prejudices against
Woman Suffrage. and begin to make
study of it, develop it and employ
it as the greatest agency for moral
uplift this country has ever seen.
Some woman may say she does not
believe in Woman Suffrage and will
not vote. For her we have no harsh
words, because for centuries women
have been taught that they have no
governmental rights, until this be-
lief with some has become second
nature. We cannot overturn a sen 5
timent Of centuries standing in the
space of a day. 1t takes education
and training of the older as we'll as
the younger, that Woman Suffrage
Is the greatest institution Of the age,
because it brings woman out of OBJ
scurity into the place and station Of
life that her intellect, perseverance
and industry beft her. "
There is a wide difference In the
terms suffrage and suffragette. The
suffragette is a being. pestifereus
tho they may have been, they havc&
been made the vehicle of many Z
pointed joke by the men, and l am
inclined to believe that this is ouo
of the things which has made sem
sitive women oppose the ballot for
womei. On the whole the suffra@
gette was not destined to bring any
good to woman's cause, while on
the other hand woman suffrage ia
Ia great institution which, together
with Civil Government and Politt-
cal Economy will some day become
one of the departments of our pub
lie schools Political Advt.

BASIL BRUST
 CASEC0MES UP IN JANUARY
Continuance Announced on Account of Critical Con- dition of the Father of a Juror.
(From Saturdays Daily)

The case against Basil Brust, of the Walcott section, charged with criminal assault, was this morning continued till the adjourned term of Circuit Court set for January 23rd. The continuation of the case was due to the critical condition of w. H. Cudd, of near Marmadulse, father .of one of the jurors, who was acci- dentally shot by E. G. Poole while out hunting near Selmeyer Thurs day afternoon. Mir. Cudd's condi- tion this morning became alarming, following the amputation of his right leg below the knee yesterday at the local sanitarium.
 The Brust case likely would have reached the jury this afternoon had it proceeded but out of respect for the grieved juror whose father is in imminent danger as a result of his injury, the court announced a continuance of the case. It was an- nounced that the trial of the accus- ed would be taken up at the ad- journed term, beginning at the point where. it was discontinued this morning.
