POWER OF SENTIMENT.
Kentucky View Of the Value Of aWorld's
faiL-Kentucky's Part In History.

10 T. t-t -----a - 5
The Board of Trade of Louis
vile is developing a plan to raise
800, 900 for the Kentucky exhib-
it at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position. In commenting upon
and, commencing this undertake
ing the Lexington Herald says
Gas a business, matter, arprop-
er Kentucky exhibit would be of
untold value to Kentucky as a
mere advertisement. We need
nonresident capital. We have
many fields for foreign enter
prise, where capital skillfully
managed can be made profitable
to the investors and of vast ben
eft to the State. As a mere in
vestment an appropriation would
be WISE and would psyAa hand
some profit. -
"No people ever did anything
worth remembering or worthy of
praise who were not moved by
sentiment; by reverence for the
dead and admiration for the
deeds of their ancestors. The
event celebrated by this EXPOSE
ton was peculiarly a Kentucky
deed-was CT untold advantage
to Kentucky, and its commemo-
ration ought to be made largely
the commemoration of the part
played by Kentucky in the ac-
QUESTION of the Louisiana Terri
tory and the p-building of the
Southwest. Kentucky caused
the conquest of the Northwest
ern Territory by George Rogers
Clark, and her soldiers sanctified
every battlefield in Ohio, Michi-
gan, Indiana and Illinois. Her
pioneers secured the free naviga-
ton of the Mississippi and her
statesmen forced the purchase Of
the Louisiana Territory. The
constitution of every State west
of the Allegheny Mountains was
modelled after her constitution.
Missouri was settled by her sons
and her institutions were simply
reproductions of Kentucky's in
situations. The history of Ken
lucky from 1888 to 1920 is a very
fruitful and glorious history; and
the miraculous growth of the
Northwest and the Southwest
cannot be understood except by
knowing what Kentucky did dur
ing those formative years. 1t is
the severest truth of history that
but for Kentucky the Ohio river,
the Allegheny Mountains and the
lower Mississippi would be the
boundaries of the United States.
Kentucky was the first to ac-
quire foreign territory Kentucky
fixed forever the policy of annex
alton; Kentucky conquered the
Northwest and by diplomacy,
courage and persistence secured
the Louisiana Territory"

of unquestionable reputation
only should apply and he must
then be satisfied there is no faint
of unionism'about him. q 81
Downhearted indeed seems to
be the condition of the chief
agitators who now roam about
the county seeking to destroy
the peace and happiness Of those
now at work, by inducing them
to become members of the U. M.
WIS. The cause of their deep
seated grief we are informed, is
that their allowance which at
one time amounted to the prin-
cely sum of one dollar per week
has been cut down to fifty cents
for the same length of time.
Their income having almost
reached the vanishing point,
sorrow follows. a
Again the news is received
that another of the former en-
ployees of the st. Bernard Co.,
who sacrificed his all to join the
union, is now making his rounds
appealing for the necessaries of
life. Poverty in all its horrors
confronts him now in his old age
while Barnaby, Wells and others
enjoy the luxuries of life.
Those who keep in close touch
with the U. M. w. leaders who
were some time ago indicted for
conspiracy to murder in an adj
joining county think they can
discover an extreme nervousness
affecting them, since the courts
of Webster county have decreed
that one of their number should
serve a life sentence in the state
prison for an attempt to murder
an Innocent non-union miner at
Providence last year. The met
ing out of justice in this manner
naturally unnerves them now
under similar charge.
Foreman Fegans informs US
that the demand for coke and
coal still remains good, the
coke production scarcely being
equal to the production.
Sec'y. Atkinson complains of
a scarcity of coal cars last week,
so great does the demand con-
tinue for coal, and he speaks
very encouragingly of the
bright prospects ahead and for
the entire summer season.
The habit of jumping on and
off moving trains contrary to law
has grown to such an extent that
for the protection of our young
miners who love to steal ride,
the strict enforcement of the
law is necessary. Only a few
days ago one of them came near
losinga leg by attempting to
Jump off a moving train. As it
was he lost several toes, had one
leg broken and to save life and
limbs strenuous efforts should be
made to break up this dangerous
habit.
Sec'y. Geo. G. Atkinson made
trip on important business
both to Louisville and Evans
vile last week. George believes
in business expansion, so he hus-
ties for it.
To such small number have
the U. M. WIS. dwindled that
to make a showing they have to
summons the entire membership
from the county to meet at one
certain place on the same day,
when they want to hold a meet
ing, and even then we are told
they can muster up only about
sixty members, and as the MEM
bership declines so does the food
and money supply.
Rumor says that the small
army of agitators employed in
this county during the last year
or more have been discharged Oh
account of lack of funds to sus-
tain them and the desire OF the

Report at hand Indicate strike
of immense proportions in the
near future by the Anthracite
Coal Mines. From time to time
they have been asking and re-
ceiving concessions from the
coal operators of the Anthracite
coal regions, of Pennsylvania
until now their demands have
grown to be so unreasonable
that at last they have created a
revolt and a fat refusal to further
comply with their demands has
been given them by the operators
hence the strike. If we mistake
not, it was in this region alone
referred to that the Knights of
Labor first grew to be a strong
organization, SO strong did they
become in their own estimation
that they reached the point,
when they attempted to defy
all law and order, and when they
made demands, no matter with
or without reason, and the same
was refused them. Force by
destruction of property was then
resorted to; finally these acts of
violence grew so numerous that
the public became aroused to the
necessity of putting stop to
such unlawful proceedings or
else break the backbone of an
order which would be a party to
same. SO during a big strike at
st. Louis by the railroaders be-
longing to said Knights of Labor
organization, cars were wrecked
and much damage done to pro-
perry as we'll as business. Then
it was that an outraged public
arose and forever killed the order
as a power. Then it was that
the U. M. WIS, an offspring of
the Knights of Labor, began to
grow. In the Pennsylvania coal
fields, they gained strength rapi-
dly from that element of the X.
of L., that favored force and so
the same old spirit which
prompts them to gain a point by
fair or foul means still predoml-
mates, and they now intend to
force the operators to comply
with their terms, or close down
the mines, and as the burden
placed upon the shoulders of the
men who furnish the means to
operate the coal mines has be-
come heavier than they will
longer bear, they will resist to
the end and it may be possible
that the death of the U. M. w.
organization may take place
where it first came into existence
or gained much strength several
years ago, and now it remains to
be seen whether president Mitch
ell of the miners union can out
general the men of brains and
capital who operate the mines.
Richard Salmon Of the Crab
tree mines is attending court at
jacksonville this week. Dick
takes a hopeful view of the
situation in this mining district
as regards the strength of the U.
NJ. WIS, which he thinks is on a
rapid decline so far as influence
goes.
OF course we knew that the U.
NJ. WIS. would make the claim
of another big victory in the
concessions made them by the
coal companies last week at the
Central City conference and this
in the face of the fact that Cen
trail City Coal and Mining Co.
says no concessions was made by
it, so it would seem that some
members of the U. M. WIS.
taking preparatory steps towards
joining the Ananias club.
Supt. Harris of the South Dia-
mond mines is now occasionally
adding some new men to his
mining force to replace those
who have taken a notion to fol-
low farming during the summer

attempting toxintimidate miners
of this county by threats land
otherwise.
The fellow who said he would
not,cut his hair until the, st.
Bernard Co. had recognized the
U. M. WIS, is again back with
US, and it is a noticeable fact
that he gave up early and has
long ago cut off his long hair and
yet the said company has the
honor to run its own business.
Coal lands have lately been
purchased in Webster county
near Clay and a company formed
to develope same.
AT London, KY, a new oil
company has lately been formed
to sink oil wells. Also one with
capital stock of $500, 600 has
been incorporated at Frankfort.
A stock company with capt.
tai stock of $4,000 will develop
coal and iron mines near Paints
vile, Ky.
1t is rumored that steps will
be taken to bring libel suit
against certain leadars of the U.
M. WIS, who have slandered
theEgood name Iof :some of the
Empire Coal Co.'S. officials
through false,reports.
Supt. Powell, of the Sebree
Coal Co., is back from Texas,
where he went for a rest. Be-
fore starting friends told him
of the danger of leaving, when
the day of. closing down his
mine by the U. M. WIS. was SO
close at hand, but Fred had
confidence in his employees hold
ing the fort and returned finding
that such had not been misplaced
with mines running with full
force.
Foreman Toombs and crew
built new engine house at the
Arnold mines last week and put
in another engine to run the air
fan continuously.
Quite an interest is being
taken:by the miners in the pro-
tractedImeetings now being held
here. The attendance of these
honest tOilers is unusually large.
Supt. Crutchfield and better
half came oyer from St. Charles
last Thursday and attended the
Old Fiddler's Contest here.
1t is said the U. NJ. WIS, are
showing quite an activity again
at Providence in the attempt to
organize the mines there. But
they are up against a stone wall
when they hope to close down
that mine through organization
because the managers have so
set their heads and can not be
turned.
Very few union men are seen
on the streets here now. The
cutting down of both rations
and money allowance has caused
them to hustle elsewhere for the
necessities of life.
In March there was funeral
at Trenton, N. j., and three non
union drivers were discovered in
the procession. A halt was call
ed and notice was served on the
undertaken that unless the non
union drivers were dismissed the
the union men would leave their
seats. The non-union coaches
were dismissed and the mourners
in these coaches went to the
church afoot.
During street car strike in
San Francisco IN April the city
suffered severely. Cold rains
prevailed and the condition of
thousands of girls who had to
walk several miles to their homes
was pitiable. All retail business
suffered and tourists avoided the
city.

Five Persons KILLED and Heavy Loss
Of Property In Vermont.
BARRE, VT, June 17.-In addition to
great property damage by cloudburst
over this section five railroad men lost
their lives, freight train on the Cen
trail Vermont railroad having run into
washout at Middlesex. -,.
The train was bound north from
Montpelier Junction. 1t consisted of u
locomotive and twelve cars. Passing
through Middlesex the engineer was
running at a fair rate Of speed, when
he struck ditch washed out by tor
rent of water which rushed down the
side of Camels Hump mountain.
The locomotive leaped into the ditch.
and the freight cars piled up OH top of
it. The main line of the Central Yer
mont railroad is tied up as a result OF
the washouts and wreck.
The cloudburst caused great deal OF
other damage. The railroad bridge at
Bolton was destroyed, and a sawmill,
together with the house adjoining. was
demolished in the town Of MiddleseX
and the wreckage carried down the WI
nooski river. The sawmill was owned
by John Egan, who lived imam adjOin-
ing house He and his family escaped
injury. All of Mr.. Egans live stock
was killed, and in addition to the loss
of his house and sawmill 1000 feet Of
logs were forced down the river by the
torrent Of water from the mountain.

Indications are that this will pass
into history as the hammer year in
the exports Of petroleum. In the
last week ten ssels sailed from the
Point Breeze and Marcus Hook re-.
fineries with 10, 1854, 388 gallons Of
the product Of Pennsylvania oil
wells, and carefully tabulated state
ments kept from January 1show Ok

ed and crude petroleum; as odnl-
pared with 147, 592,674 gallons ship
ed during the corresponding period
of 1901. This is gain of overI u.s.
600, 900 gallons.
Not even the most sanguine ship
pers anticipated such a large ins
crease in the expectations of this
commodity. but the manner in
which vessels are now beingfixed to
load cargoes justifies the prediction
that the present year will eclipse all
others. ~
With the prospects of thirty
foot channel and the addition Of in
dependent oil companies togeth sr
with the Texas oil wells pouring in.
to this port, there is no telling OF
the magnitude,o of this trade in the
future. That it will be normous 10
the opinion of those interested in
the commerce of the port. M
During the past six months over
100000 gallons Of oil more than last
year have been shipped from Mar
