as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies
and freshens the skin on the outside, so
hot water and limestone phosphate act
on the inside organs. We must always
consider that internal sanitation is vast

COUNTY COURT
CLERKS RACE

Information from all parts of the
county indicate great interest in Mrs
d. w. Slusher for County Court
Clerk. Special interest is taken by
railroad men, Odd Fellows, Red
Men, and Masons as we'll as their
wives in favor of this widow and her
orphans. What reason can the two
gentlemen opposing her in this race
assign except greed for office. Quail
ifications can be no excuse as the
State Inspector places the condition
of the office first in the State. All
fair-minded men in the county are
asserting that these two gentlemen
must be hardhearted and cruel in

WHAT O'REAR DID SAY ABOUT
DRU As A DEFENSE

q. a
The Finley Press supporting Rose
is loud in its announcement that
Judge O'Rear, and three Democratic
EX-Judges have said that Rose was
right in the Early instructions on
Drunkenness. They announce that
&C.. s. Wilson, brother-in-law Of ]. b.
Snyder, had a letter from Judge
ORear on this matter and dehed
that same to be published. They
state enough to indicate that they
have been furnished a copy of this
letter by Judge O'Rear. Mr. Will
son undertook 70 treat ORepr's let
ter as private, until they want to
make it public. so we accept the
challenge, and here is what he says
to Wilson:
"As you may know, | am not
favorably impressed ever with drunk
enness. | have maintained that the
manufacture and use of Intoxicating
| liquors, is a bane to society--an evil
unmixed with good. ! have no pat
fence with a man who voluntarily
gets drunk. knowing its effect upon
him, rendering him frequently a
/ wild and dangerous animal. Drunk.
enness is. and for long time has
/ been itself a misdemeanor. An Of
Tense against the law, 1t is true
more than one man has been hung
in Kentucky by the Courts judg-
mcnts who committed homicide
while drunk and perhaps others
should have been.
do not believe that drunkenness
is a defense to prosecution for
fcIonies ever That it is not n justi
fcation nor is it an excuse. 1t is
only matter bearing on the malice
prepense or unlawful intent,-a
Question which juries always have
been required to settle affirmatively,
and beyond reasonable doubt under
the GENERAL instruction, so famil-
lar to the practice which usually
runs somewhat in this language
THE LAW PRESUMES THE DE-
PENDANT INNOCENT UNTIL HIS
GUILT is ESTABLISHED BEYOND
A REASONABLE DOUBT, AND IF
THE JURY HAVE A REASONABLE
DOUBT OF THE DEFENDANTS
HAVING BEEN PROVEN.G GUILTY,
IOR OF ANY MATERIAL FACT
NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH HIS
GUILT. THEY WILL ACQUIT HIM"
That you may see just how the
matter appeared to me in the light
of the adjudged cases, when l wrote
. Judge Rose. | take the liberty of
quoting from my letter to Judge
, Rose the following paragraph:
, Drunkenness is no excuse for
crime and constitutes no defense,
, even where the accused was uncon-
scious of the nature of the act, If
that condition of his mind was the
. result of voluntary intoXication with
, knowledge of the effect of liquor on
| his passions"
+ We are glad to give the public
the above as to what O'Rear said so
- that the people will know just what
h.. extremes Rose and the Finley Press
will go to to distOrt the facts. Vo-
ters. decide by your ballots whom
YOU want for Circuit Judge a man

TRADING JOE SNYDER AND HIS
BIG TENNESSEE MOVING
PICTURE SHOW

Trading Joe Snyder in his last
weeks issue of the LaFollette Press
alias whitley County News, has his
hireling cartoonist draw the car
toon of Judge Rose.
Trading Joe discusses Judge Rose
in chapters.
One Of these chapters is the Alex
Bryant case where G. W. Renfroo,
Joe's bosom friend, summoned the
Jury trying Alex Bryant and they
did not come from Roses jury wheel
at all. BUT TRADING JOE DID SET
ASIDE THE JUDGMENT FOR A PTS
TOL CASE AGAINST BRYANT AND
TAKE A JUDGMENT FOR FLOUR
ISHING A WEAPON WHERE NO
JAIL IMPRISONMENT LIKE A PTS
Toll CASE FROM 10 TO 80 DAYS
COULD BE TAKEN.
In Joe's second chapter he discus
SEES the Hutson Lawson case where
he sold out the case In the Whitley
Circuit Court II Hutson Lawson and
all his brothers and kinsmen would
vote for Trading Joes choice for Cir
cult Judge against Rose last election.
And in the cartoon he pictures
Judge Rose trying the Early case.

was given and is in the clerks Office
and attested by the clerk in which
Judge Rose said drunkenness is no
defense under Instruction q" under
which Early might have been fined
$500 and sent to Jail for year and

ON RESERVATION

-Minot, Aug. 3.--V Il. Stenerson ana

Stenerson made an automobile trip
to his farm five miles south of Par
shall Sunday and also inspected
crops in the REPRESENTATION country
Around Makoti, Plaza ard Parshall
the crops are all in splendid condition
and promise a good-sized yield, wheat
estimated as high as 20 bushels or
more. Harvesting has already begun
and is making good progress. Many
farmers were engaged IN cutting grain
yesterday. - 10.
Rust and grasshoppers have both
caused a certain amount of damage
although most of the grain is too far
advanced for either TO cause much
harm. The hoppers are expected to
cause some trouble in the fields of late
grain The rust has caused many
wheat stalks to become brittle but not
many have broken down
Oats are in splendid condition as
are corn and potatoes. Fields OF fax
are also in fine shape
The roads are somewhat cut up
since the recent rains and are very
much rutted and rough in spots.

PEACEPATH,lS Is
IRELAND VIEW
Must Be Won Over to the Plan
of Settlement Before it
Can Succeed
APPROVAL BEING SOUGHT
Government of Ulster Said to
Regard Plan of Settlement
Benev0lently
APPROVAL BEING SOUGHT

Dublin, Aug. 3. (By the Associated
Press) The sole reason for the delay
in the Sim Fein's reply to the govern
ment's Irish peace proposals, it is au-
thOritatively stated, is the attempt be-
ing made to secure the adhesion of
Ulster to the peace plan before re-
turning to negotiations with premier
Lloyd George so he could be met by a
united Ireland.
1t is felt that there is no use even
to consider the terms, it is stated, un-
til it is settled who are the real par
ties to the bargain.
Every effort is beng made behind
the scenes, it is declared, to induce Ul-
ster to accept share in the powerful
body which it is planned to make the
all-Ireland parliament while retaining
her own local autonomy. So far these
efforts although benevolently regard
ed by the government have been un-
successful.
The expectation Of an arrangement
with Ulster has not yet been abandon
ed, however. Should it fail the repub-
licans, it is pointed out, must consider
whether they will accept for the 26
counties outside of Ulster the terms
offered or renew the war. Some. OF
the Republican leaders accept the view
that eventual unity would be more
speedily reached by such acceptance.
