THE FAITHFUL ON GUARD.

The Democrats of Morgan county are viewing with
much amusement the frantic efforts of the Republicans
to stir up trouble in the Democratic ranks They
think they have chance to elect State Senator and are
busy as bird dogs in hunting season trying to find some
thing to urge to disrupt the Democrats
In the first place there is little danger of DIR. White
aker being defeated and there few sore Democrats

publcans who are so insstent about non-parsan voting
are the ones who voted for Democrat there was
a Republican against him, and when real smon-pure
Democrats see those birds working so hard for onpart
san voting it causes the Democrats to grow in renewed
determination to vote the straight ticket
Any Democrat who might think he had grevience
and feels sore would lose that feeling Immediately if he
could just watch the of the intensely partisan
Republicans who are managing the Republican campaign
And the Democratic situation is growing in strength and

GAMBLING AT THE RACE TRACK.

Just now the Kentucky Racing Commission is busy
trying to secure pledges from the various nominees Of
both parties to vote to keep the gambling act on the
statutes. Their plea is that the law allowing gamb
ling on horse races is repealed it will ruin the race horse
breeding of Kentucky
If thoroughbred horse breeding depends upon the
gambling on races to keep it going then is best to let
thoroughbred breeding go. But why is fine horse breed
ing more dependent upon gambling to keep alive than
other fine stock breeding? Gambling is gambling. and if
it is allowed by law to bet on horse races why not egaize

reality an interview with II. Wickham

accuracy of the statement to correct it.
AS to the Irish situation, it is a fact
which none can contest that the fact of
the truce and the possibility and proba-
bility of settlement proceed directly
from the enlightened initiative of King
George in going to Belfast and making
that great hearted and considerate
speech there.
1T is also incontestab BILE that King
George feels for all his subjects ali
equal solicitude. I imagine nothing re-
Jofced him more than to see the pros
pect of peace in Ireland, but I firmly
believe that the statements attributed
to me could not have been made by me.

The Greek army is expected to remain

NORTHCLIFFE CASE
DIVIDES EDITORS
One Calls Repudiated Inter
view Low Comedy Of
Music Hall.

LONDON, July 30.-British newspapers
display the Northcliffe affair at great
length and under large headlines this
morning. The papers controlled by Lord
Northcliffe contain brief editorials call
ing attention to the denials of both King
George and Lord Northcliffe.
The Times and the Daily Matt, an
other Northcifre paper, both devote con-
siderable space In commenting upon the
Kings correct attitude in relation to his
opening OF the Belfast Parliament The
Times says:
"At Belfast the Kings action obvious
ly was in accordance with constitutional
tradition. but at the same time it should
be clearly understood that his Majesty
constitutionality was entitled to call the
attention OF his advisers to his own
standpoint"
The MdA says II IL unnecessary to re-
mind its readers regarding the attitude
of the Northcliffe press toward the
throne OF England and the revered SOW
erelgn who occupies It."
After ridiculing the attribution OF such
Post says that Lord Northcllfre's de-
NAL was needed. "as the words ascribed
to him were not entirely out Of character
to other authentic utterances from the
same lips"
Referring to an article in the Daily
Man last Thursday describing the ac-
| tivity of Lord Northcliffe In America, the
! Post continues:
"Northcliffe's mind Is clearly over
strained. II Is case not for the poll
ticians. but for the doctors. - .
There Is a point at which megalomania
becomes dangerous. The patient mus,
either be persuaded to rest or his friends
must fear the worst"
The Daily Netos, suggesting that the
whole affair may prove to have been a
| hoax, adds:
THE lesson to be drawn will be eim-
ply the danger of semi-royal progress
I'm foreign countries OF peripatetic potcn-
tates OF underlined status"
! Assuming that hoax is the expana-
tion, this newspaper thinks that Lord
| Northclifsc deserves some sympathy,
but adds that he should have chosen
some less irreverent country than
America for his triumphal Journey. as
the purposes OF advertisement would
have been served equally well by a
voyage TO the pole"
The Chronicle says that Lord North
clffe appears TO have gone to America
with the intention of doing what he
could to make Premier Lloyd George
unpopular there. and thus queer the
pitch" for the British Government in
the coming disarmament negotiations in
Washington.
Both Premier Lloyd George and Lord
Northcliffe are censured by the Herald,
which says editorially
ut is diverting piece OF low
comedy. with two great demagogues as
back chat comedians. The whole silly
/ sauabble is just music hall turn put

secondly, TO divert the peoples minds
