SENATOR DEBOES FIRST WORK.
HeadforeinOst in the Question Of Dis
pensing Patronage in Kentucky.


Senator Deboe plunged into the discus
sion Of the patronage subject almost inn
mediately upon his arrival in the city from
Kentucky last night. An important con-
ference was held ia the Senator's rooms in
the Ebbitt. There were present besides the
Senator, DR.. Hunter, who was the first
tive Pugh, chairman OF the State campaign
committee; Sam Roberts, and Chairman of
the State Central Committee G. NJ. Barnett.
The situation III Kentucky was gone over
from every point Of view, Senator Deboe
taking the ground that it was absolutely
essential to so act that harmony should be
restored and the Republicans soIidfied
for the coming State and Congressional
campaign. This is TO be done by judi
ciOus distribution of the Federal patron
age.
Although the tip has gone abroad from
the White House that the senator is Ia he
the sole dispenser of patronage in Ken
lucky, that gentleman, il is said, does
not propose TO act hastily nor upon his
own Judgment entirely He is reported
to have said that he will consult the Re-
publican members Of Congress and local
leaders on all Important questions, md
be guided, so far as possible, by tie com
bned judgment OF the representative Re
publicans. Senator neboe, however is
not the kind of man to sink respon sibiiity
If there i s to tie q fight in any particular
case lie viii lie in it al the start and stay
with il to the end.
After the conference had ended it was
said that DR.. James, member of the
State senate, had been agreed upon as
compromise nominee for United States
marshal, the most important office in the
State. There were no less than fifteen
candidates for this place, hut if Or. hunter,
Gov. Bradley and Senator Dehoe agree
upon this particular one, the rest must turn
to something else Just as good. "
E. T. Franks. the defeated Republican
candidate for Congress in he Second Ken
lucky district. had a conference with SEN
ator Dehoe las night. Mr.. Franks expects
to be nominated for collector of internal
revenue for the Owenshoro district. the
big whisky producing section of the Elre
Grass State. He was indicted jointly with
DIR. Hunter on the charge of alleged bribery
in connection with the SENATOR al imbroglio
He is anxious to find out whether the Sen
ate would consider this indictment as
bar 10 his confirmation in the event of
his nomination.
1t is said that senator Dcboe informed
Mr. Franks that he did not believe the
Senate, in view OF all the circumstances
under which this indictment was found,
would consider it as such "A criminal Of
Tense as would bar him from favorable cots
sidCratinn.
The desk Of Senator DcbOc in the sen
ate was almost buried from sight tits
morning hy = huge basket of flowers from
the KcntuCkians IN the city IL was
made up largely OF American Beauty roses,
the basket being decorated with tri- Colored
ribbons. upon which was painted he coat
Of arms of the Common wealth andth" State
motto. United, We Stand: Divided, We
Fall"

The book trust does not desire TO have
any books published in foreign languages,
admitted to this country. Such works as
it considers salable and profitable it desires
to have translated and published here,
and would limit American readers and
students to matter so furnished.
AS TO old books there may be fighting
chance; qualified 10y the possibility that
some branch of the trust is engaged, or
intends to engage, in the manufacture OF
old books on its own account. In that
event il would amount TO an Infant in
dustry, and would have to be protected y

should be the ones to .Lead out

Now, we have in St. G Gorge a.
worthy man striving hard to pub
lish Newspaper, and all he needs
to be able to make it a good, lively
sheet is the patronage of the peo-
pie. Oh, yes; says one, it is too
small to patronize! Well, all it
needs to make it lar err is good
large patronage both by sub
cripstions and advertising. If
our Merchants and Business Men
would givehim some good large adj
refreshments and the people sub
scribe literally, we would have a pa
per that would be credit to oul

We have had some very cold
disagreeable weather the latter
part OF winter, but it is warmer
now and the green vegetation is
showing up nicely while the war;
bic of the birds indicate that
spring has come to stay. The hot
winds that sweep over the desert
in the summer will likely scar the
green heritage to some extent.
The South Western Mining Co.,
has two large teams hauling ore
from their properties to the mills,
where the stamps are kept busy
pulverizing the rock from which
the free gold is extracted.
Other companies have commenc-
ed work in this vicinity and the in
dications are that the camp will
be a lively one during the season.
