Shiftless Reader" will commend itself to
those who are addicted TO odds and ends
OF literature and to reading only what
they truly enjoy. William De Witt Hyde,
in an essay on Reform in Theological Ed
ucation," considers the desirability of cer-
tain changes in method and idea in the
system of instruction in vogue in the the
illogical seminaries. In paper entitled
Between Editions" John Jay Chapman
discusses in lively way the difficulty of
pushing needed reforms. He tells q good
many truths, and all he says is worth read
ing, even though the reader may not ac-
cept all his propositions. Here is one
thought for a class of men to reflect on:
Il have seen many men / knew in college
grow more and more uninteresting from
year TO year. Is there something in trade
that desiccates and fiattens out. that turns
men into dried leaves at the age of forty?
Certainly there is. 1t Is not due to trade
but to the intensity of self seeking COM
bined with narrowness of occupation"

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 7.-Republican
leaders who are on confidential terms with
the Governor, intimated tonight that the
Republican contestees may not quit the
fight in the event the Legislature and
the State Contest Board vote to seat Goe-
bel as Governor and the other Democratic
contestants. They have by no means given
up hope that they will win in the Leg
islature, but are taking time by the fore
lock and are looking around for another
move in case Goebel should win. 1t is gen.
orally believed they will seek to raise a
federal question and take the case into
the United States Court. One of the ques-
tons which could be raised, they claim,
would be on the busting of Lieutenant
Governor Marshall as presiding officer OF
the joint assembly in the event of the
adoption Of the rules, as passed by the
Senate yesterday, and also on the pros
pective wholesale unseating of Republican
members of the Legislature.
The House will tomorrow take UP the
information filed in the Senate, Saturday.

mittee. The resolution is almost certain
to go through, as the anti-Goebel men say
they cannot afford. to defeat an investi-
cation, though they regard the whole af-
fair inspired by politics. The fight over the
rules will not come up till Thursday, and
this is expected TO furnish something like
a list of the Goebel and anti-Goebel
strength in the lower branch. The Re-
publican leaders admit that the adoption
of the rules as sent over from the Senate,
will be very serious blow to the mi
nority.
Senator Barrett. chairman of the Repub-
lican joint caucus, has called that body to
meet tomorrow night, to nominate can
didate for senator Former Governor w.
o. Bradley will be the nominee. He will
probably be named by reclamation. His
nomination is the result of a peace which
has been declared between the Republican
factions, one of which was headed by the
Ex-Governor and his appointees, the other
by Minister w. Godfrey Hunter, Senator
Deboe, Governor Taylor and all of the
national administration leaders in Ken
