have elected to to the petition of the Republican party not on account of its temperance views but because it presents outside of the temperance plank sincere advocacy of the highest excellency of citizenship and we do not detract from this belief but add to it by advocating the interest of the Stale and people first Citizenship as we understand it is above principles In doing so it is our supreme MOUNTAINS DEVELOPING The Mountains of Eastern conviction the cardinal doctrine of be party has been violated the trine of liberty and rights of the people to make room for a new faith without merit except the belief it will be a vole getter But less has lieen our error than the error of Democracy It is a truculent imitator casting to the winds the principle which it has emphasized from its existence local government The advocates of the County Unit affect righteousness They preach turpitude to accomplish it It is to us the affront is thrown No section f the Stale will heller understand it and no city will be less affected by the panacea of ibis erratic doctrine Can we justly class ourselves as more degraded than the average or are we lower in scale of thought will any agree we are not interested in the welfare uplift of ils people progress purity and Are we not ready to be weighed in the balance with other cities of the Have we not grown up contending with adverse conditions evidencing grit and temerity to meet and overcome obstacles and have we not done it done it in the teeth of apparently inevitable destruction done it not by humiliating beggary but by persistent co-operation of citizenship by civic pride and by just devotions to Almighty But now in a measure what has accomplished is threatened with destruction by the foreigner in the name of the people outside of right The rural voters of the State are to say in November whether the voters of Red Bird Greasy Creek Calloway Cubbage and South America in this county many of whom have less social and business relations in Mid- than does the people of Chattanooga or Indianapolis shall have an equal voice within our corporate limits To have it notwithstanding their ignorance of our and what is requisite for our uplift and progress and caring very much less The high licensed saloon here presents no example that warrants us n apology for ils existence but offers every evidence that il is the best remedy for the promotion of temperance The County Unit denies justice proposes destruction of property acquired by grant of law and offers no amends for the brute force it would inaugurate In ful and law-abiding communities it pertains to lawlessness encourages disrespect for the law and enhances the excuse for flagrant disobedience Wherever it has been tried il has proven a curse to the cause of business If the editor advocates improvements the soreheads go after him and some times stop their paper If he opposes ments the progressive sort get on him and call him a back number and a knocker If he publishes politics the opposition gels into his hair and if he does not he is charged with being afraid to stand out for his opinion If he condemns mail order ads Borne of the merchants are after his nose No country paper can come out squarely williout making enemies and losing money mul in the run of a year or more wilt incur from body The newspaper lhat under- takes to please everybody will please ase nobody if it honest anil cere and thoughtful the public will respect Gap News then we shall without hesitancy and with all the powers al our com- mand champion his cause Alf You Are Right j As evidenced by the work at I Louisville of the same old crowd It costs n country newspaper j which hiis in the past either ruled money every time it n stand or ruined the Democratic parly in they show no signs of a until they aro again in ion to graft and steal They have clearly their greed is not yet satisfied and that they propose to remain in the saddle and over- ride the people and like a car of Juggernaut expect to crush out all who oppose them We do not propose to lo this gong as an humble private we shall join any revolution which menus their overthrow As it looks now Judge O'Rear is leading a revolution against the machine not only in his own parly but in the Democratic party We propose therefore to enlist under his banner and to fight them to n finish unless the gang of grafters take a hack at this hour they show no disposition to do Therefore from this you will find the Gazette standing squarely by Edward Clay O'Rear in his fight for the supremacy of the people as against political machines both Democratic and Republican unless we have absolute assurance thai no member of the THE CALLOWAY COUNTY GAZETTE BOLTS McCREARY Dispatches from Murray Ky have told briefly of the bolt of the Calloway County Gazelle owned and edited by John and Perry Meloan two stalwart Democrats of the First district one of whom was deputy State Auditor in the first administration T h e editorial declaration of the Gazette tucky are being developed as never before and at this particular time there is no part of Kentucky tha has such activity inj con In H very few day passenger and freight traffic will be the entire new branch of the L running up Cumberland River to Creek Work is being rapidly pushed on the extension the L E which is now under control of the L N This road taps one of the richest coal and timber fields in Kentucky running through two counties Perry and Letcher and giving an outlet to two towns Hazard and burg that ore destined in a very few years to grow into cities Hazard now has a building boom on probably not equaled by any other town unless it be Jenkins They have a live wide-awake com- club in Hazard and body is pulling for a bigger and a better town Whitesburg as well as a number of other towns that are springing up in Letcher county is making great headway The new town of Jenkins on Elkhorn in Letcher county at the head of new extension of the B 0 and in the center of the large land ings of the Consolidated Coal Co is growing by leaps and bounds and will in a very few years be a young Pittsburg Several sawmills are in operation there recently a bank was organized with a stock of Streets are being laid off for the new town Waterworks light plant hotels business houses theatres and all thai is necessary to make it a modern city are going up When the new road into Harlan is completed and the road up the North Fork of the Kentucky River and the holdings of the Consolidated Coal Co in the district the mining and lumbering industry in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky will be a very important factor in Kentucky's product and this part of Kentucky then will take rank with other parts of the State in wealth power and position temperance On the contrary where Local Option has been tried it has proven a blessing II V GROWING Middlesboro al the present has no kick She has ped all other cities in the State in growth in her population proven beyond a doubt as was by the federal census There was no ding and no one doubted or disputed that her growth for the last ten years had been marvelous The object for all enterprising Middlesboro citizens is to let no lull come and keep boosting and for the next ten years try to surpass our own good record There are a good many industries that if started here would be a success and add greatly to the growth lown For illustration less than six months ago the spot of ground ot which the Middlesboro Hour mil now stands was a vacant lot Now that plant is giving employment to a dozen men and supporting no less than or a Middlesboro people The mill ha been running only a few months and orders for their product have come in so fast that they had to put on a night shift MORROW In sending Edwin P Morrow of Somerset Ky United States Dis- rict Attorney for the Eastern Dis- rict of Kentucky to Middlesboro open the campaign for the Re- publican ticket the committee at have used both good and handed to us a much appreciated compliment There is no Republican speaker in the more popular than Morrow there is no part of the district that think more of him than we do His diction happy faculties of entertainment boyish ism as well as his ever logical argument are qualities which en- dear him to our people We arc quite sure that neither O'Rear our nominee for Governor or Senator Bradley Morrow's uncle can do so much for the ticket here as he will Every voter should be at the Opera House September 4 at night to hear him FOR JUDGE O'REAR refusing the McCreary licket and declaring for Judge Rear was as editor of Gazette has been fighting machine politics for twenty years He has always believed and to-day that the tactics of the Beckham gang in attempting to control the Democratic party of Kentucky were brazen and underhanded contrary t o justice and right productive of great harm to the people and to bring the state of Kentucky into disrepute and dishonor We don't propose to stand for it now and when it comes down to e fight between them and Judge Ed ward C O'Rear who met and crush ed the machine in Ins own party machine will be placed in any iori of honor or trust by McCreary hereby they may again fasten their clutches about the throats of the people But we have no hope of such surance because McCreary owes his to them absolutely As veritable Old Men of the Sea they lang about him and a man in his lotage he will be carried beneath the depths with their weight and bis commendable career in the past he must perish with them unhonored unwept and The great Astor estate of was made by men who knew bow to attend to their own business and the gentle meddlers who are now criticising John Jacob Astor for marrying
