NO 41 WE'LL WIN - DEMOCRATIC TICKET For President i WOODROW WILSON of New Jersey For Vice-President THOMAS E. MARSHALL . of Indiana " st For Judge of the Court of Appeals 0. C. TURNER of Montgomery County For Congress in the Ninth District W. J. FIELDS of Carter County hbt T . : THE COURTS ARE INDISPENSABLE. We are frank to confess that the editorial appearing in as recent .ssue of the Lexington Herald entitled, "Why Continue to Maintain he Courts?" was read by us with feelings of surprise, mingled with regrets. The distinguished editor of that influential daily, whom we regard as a public-spirited and law-abiding citizen, being out of patience with the courts because of several recent miscarriages of justice, tempora rily loses sight of the fundamental principles underlying our system of jurisprudence. "To begin with, we have just as good gevernment and officials as we deserve. If we elect men to office who are in sympathy with law breakers, how can we expect the law to be rigidly enforced? We have always advocated sure, quick and adequate punishment for law lessness. It is this, knowledge that makes every one fear the federal courts. If a law is on our statute books, it should either be enforced or repealed. Then again, if the juries, made up as they are from the body of the people, disregard the law and the evidence, we, the people, are not wholly blameless. Of course, we know the editorial mentioned was not to bo taken literally, yet we feel its influence cannot be for good and for our part we shall continue to urge the people to respect the courts, to discharge, when called upon as jurors, the highest duty of a citizen and lastly to elect men upon whom the enforcement of the law will devolve, who by their past conduct have proven both their ability and willingness to deal out even-handed justice to all. Laws, backed by a strong, healthy public sentiment, can and will bo enforced, by men of this character.

States agricultural department, who was recently sent to Panama for ho fonical study, has done some remark able work for the Smithsonian insti tution in regard to exploring among tho original inhabitants of that rev gion. He visited a tribe of Indians known as the Choeoe. They lived on the southwestern coast of Pana ma, and Professor Pittier thinks they arc descendants of the tribes which inhabited that part of the world when Columbus discovered Santo Domingo. They are tall and stalwart, with kindly nature a free hospitality and an innate honesty. Few white men havo eter been among them. Tribes of a Bomewhat similar nature are also found ftn the, southeast coast, many of them having never seen a white face in theirives. While the Republic of Panama nominally rules this section, the truth is that these Indians govern themselves entirely, have absolutely no intercourse with the whites, do not allow a white man to visit their lands and still fly the Colombian flag. Thpir houses ere grass huts, their clothing is almost nothing, but they seem to enjoy life in spite of the fact that they ore unacquainted with the benefits of religion, fashion, society and government.

LENGTHY IMPRISONMENT. A pit pony which was imprisoned in on English mine at Bestwood, Nottinghamshire, by a heavy fall of roof, was rescued alive and well, the other day, after a fortnight's impris onment. The pony was helping to clear the roads which had fallen into disrepair owing to the strike when the fall, amounting to several hun dreds of tons of rock, took place. The miners immediately set to work to rescue tne animal, .blrst a narrow avenue was forced, and through this food and water was pushed to the pony. Meanwhile excavations vwro steadily progressing, and the pony was finally liberated little the worse for its experience. LARGE8T ELECTRIC 8IQN. .

The rate at which some birds can migrate under favorable conditions is extraordinary, and as one listpns to their plaintive cries coming from the darkness overhead it is difficult to realize that in a few hours these same birds may be within the arctic circle and little later may be even crossing the pole itself. . . . Less is known of the actual dates of the departure of the migratory birds in autumn than of those of their arrival earlier in the year, and this forob vious reasons. The way in which our most charming songsters silently skulk out of the country in the au tumn is very different from that in which they make their triumphal entry in the spring when every wood and copse resounds with their mel odies.
