WE sALUTE JUDGE SLACK

Under the above caption the Ow-
ensboro Messenger, the leading Demo-
cratic paper in western Kentpcky,
paid the following high tribute to the
personal worth and professional abil-
ity of judge r. w. Slack, just after
his election in 1915:
If we must have a Republican cir
cult Judge in the Greensboro district,
how fortunate are we that it is to be
Robert w. Slack.
Search the district over and where
could he found member of the bar
who would be more acceptable and
more trustworthy in the estimation
OF the whole people?
We have known Bob Slack pretty
tolerably well for thirty-four years
more than a third of century. We
have known him as a Democrat and
as Republican. And in all these
years we have never known one thing
of Bob Slack to his ,discredit. We
have never known him to do a dis
honorable thing. We never felt that
he was capable of doing a dishonora-
Bile thing. We never felt that he was
capable Of doing dishonorable
thing. There has never been time
when we would not have trusted our
all with Bob Slack. There was new
er man of greater loyalty to his
friends than Bob Slack There was
never truer friend. There was new
er in our observation, man of high
er sense OF honor than Robert Slack.
He has lived in Greensboro nearly
forty years. He has gone through
many personal trials. He has reared
a large and most interesting family.
He has suffered adversely, but trudg-
ed on manfully never relaxing in his
efforts as good citizen and as a
lawyer to do the best for his COM
munity in the dark hours. as in the
brighter ones; and he has made good.
Ills Obtihhion, no
and infectious smile, his great char
ity toward his fellowmen, has served
him and those who have enjoyed his
friendship well.
As a lawyer he has held his own
among the best; as judge he could
only be fair and just, and in point of
ability he will be far above the av-
erage of those on the bench in/Ken
lucky.
The circuit judgeship comes to him
at most fitting time of life and he
will at all times lend dignity to the
Office. EVERY LAWYER AND
LITIGENT WILL GET JUSTICE.
NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING
LESS AT THE HANDS OF JUDGE

r'NoNPARTIsAN" CHAFF

The full Republican ticket, under
its party emblem, is printed this
morning as an advertisement by the
Republican committee. Every man
is thsre in his proper place. They
aspircd FOR a Republican nominat;) ~
end got IT. But some of tLt'1 are
apr ing for Democratic votes IN
the "nonpartisan" idea. How4can a
man claim nonpartisan votes when he
runs for office-as a partisan?
In the case of circuit judges the
Legislature has provided, in order to
take these offices out of politics, that
a candidate for circuit Judge may sub
nit his claims for nomination in the
primary to both parties or all parties
and his name upon proper petition
Shall be so placed upon the primary
ballot. In several districts OF Ken
lucky last August this was done.
Some such candidates were nominate
ed by both the Democratic and the
Republican parties. Some won the
nomination of one party and lost with
the other. They could, therefore, go
on in their candidacy on the ticket
with which they succeeded.
But in our own district no candi-
nomination of both parties Judge
Slack, being for many years an ar
dent and aggressive Republican,
asked only the Republican nominal
ton. He chose to cast his lot sole
ly with the Log Cabin" party. He
is said to have been active also in
framing up the Republican county
ticket. 1t was to his. interest to do
this lie needed all the help he
could get from his fellow Republicans
in getting out the full Republican
vote. Nobody could blame him for
that.
Democrats who have good mem
cries can hardly vote for Slack,
though he is popular and genial
man who has many personal friends.
Until he was middle-aged he was a
Democrat. For reasons best known
to himself, some years ago he left
the Democratic party and became
Jealous Republican. Like the man
who changes from one church to
another he became an intense, parti-
san Republican. He has never been
able to see anything good in the
Democratic party since. He has done
everything in his power to break up
the Democratic party. He was elect
ed circuit judge six years ago in this
Democratic district because of an un-l
fortunate breach at that time In the
Democratic party. But that breach
has long ago been. healed and no
considerable number of Democrats
can ever be persuaded to vote to re-
elsct Slack because he as a Republic
can partisan does not deserve Demo-
cratic votes.--Owensboro. Messenger,

LIQUOR LAW RULING
IS GIVEN FIRST TEST
Conviction Without Direct
Evidence Claim OF The
County Prosecutor

A rather novel court proceeding
was held here Monday, when an in
quest was held into the question as
to whether or not Henry Daugherty,
who lives about five miles east of
Hartford, had whisky in his possess
sion for the purpose of sale. After
hearing the evidence, the court held
Deugherty under bond for his APP
pearance at circuit court.
Deugherty, with his wife and son,
moved into q house at Baltimore,
about three months ago and short
time thereafter report gained cir
culation that he was bootlegging
liquor. Daugherty denied the charge.
Recently Bud Howard made affi-
'davit that there were reasonable
grounds for believing that Daugherty
had liquor in his possession for the
purpose of sale, and the inquiry fol-
lowing the warrant was held before
Judge Cook Monday. The purpose
of the inquiry was, not to show that
Daugherty had actually sold liquor,
but that he had liquor in his posses
sion for the purpose OF sale. A num-
her OF witnesses were examined, and
the proof chiefly depended upon by
county attorney Kirk to hold Daugh-
erty for the grand jury showed that
the accused did not perform any visi-
blelabor: that he owned two automo-
.biles which were often in use, that a
number of automobiles entirely out
of proportion to those ordinarily us
ing the road in that neighborhod was
seen passing to and fro after Daugh-
erty moved into the neighborhood,
and that a great number of machines
was observed to stop at his house.
The testimony showed that in one af-
ternoon and evening thirty-seven ma
chimes stopped at Daugherty's place.
Men went TO the place sober, accord
ing to some witness, and came away
drinking.

CONSTABLE CAPTURES
MO0NSHINE DlSTlLLERY
Gas Burner, Tea Kettle And
Sponge Make Up The
Whole Outfit.

Bob Canary of Fordsville, assum-
cl his duties as peace of ,er. I'M
der the Authority of constable, at Nc
Henry a week ago, and is making a
good officer
This newspaper last week warned
the bootleggers Of the McHenry ter
ritory that officer Canary would
make life hard shedding for them, and
he began the war by bagging moon
shine still Tuesday. We have reen
stills and stills, but this one, Canary
brought to Sheriff Bratchers office
Wednesday morning tops them all.
The still is a common teakettle, hold
ing about two gallons. apd the heat
ing apparatus is an ordinary gas
burner, such as one sees at country
ice cream suppers. And the worm;
well there wasn't any. The operator
used sponge to oondense the steam
and then pressed the liquor out with
his hands. The entire outfit was.
worth about $3.50.
Officer Canary found the outfit
hanging in tree in the woods near :
McHenry, but could find no trace OF
the owner. The still was full OF
mash and about gill of white
mule" was found in a.fruit jar From
the nasty appearance of theliquor it
would seem fit punishment of the
owner to sentence to him to drink a
gill of his own concoction. The out
fit, If run a whole day could not have
made more than pint of liquor.
In capturing this miniature still Mr..
Canary has not materially reduced
the daily production of .moonshine,
but he has shown he is trying to do
his duty as an officer, and the effect
will be wholesome in that as well as
in other communities. Let the good
work go on.
