THE LAWS DISREGARDED.

The opinion of GOse & GOse on the
right Of the school board to purchase
a site and construct a high school
building thereon without a vote of the
people is a clincher. and it will not
be easy for any machine lawyer to
cOntrOvert the strong legal arguments
no school site shall be changed or Sc
leCted without a tWO-thirds vote of
the people, and in this case the people
were entirely ignored, as they were
in the selection Of an Out-Of the-way
site for the Washington school as a
part of deal for votes in a general
election. Moreover. the opinion con-
clusively proves that in issuing war
rants for the construction of the build
ing, instead Of asking the people to
authorize the issuance of bonds. the
board of education has again exceeded
its authority.
OF course if the people of this
school district care nothing about
having the laws Of the state observed
they are getting what they want but
the day may come when non observ-
ance of the laws Will prove a costly
experience. The only safe plan is
to insist on compliance with the laws
in every particular and on every occa
sion.
Already the people of this city
should have learned that making the

his recent letters to parents with the
brutal sayings of Napoleon about the

is altogether too much of resem-
blance to suit him. Besides. to bring
more children into the world than

The Argus so far fOrgets the cour-
resv due our beloved president, so re
Gently the guest of this city, as to
make this disparaging remark about
him
1t is noticeable in all Of President
RooseyelLs speeches and writings
that his spiritual development is not
great. He is intensely human. as his
love of horses. dogs, outdoor sports
and hunting clearly indicates. Men
with spiritual natures are of retiring
dispositions"
What 10 You think of this traitor
Gus utterance. fellow citizens? Just
think of it, Theodore Roosevelt
reared in the fear of the Lord, a faith
ful member of the Dutch Reformed
Presbyterian church. a regular attend
ant at Sunday services and prayer
meetings, is lacking in spiritual de-
yeI0pment,.
And why? Because he is human
and likes horses, dogs and outdoor
life? If this is to be the criterion OF
spirituality even the lOwly Nazarene
was lacking in soul because He loved
outdoor life and every living creature.
Shakespeare said something to the
effect that there are sermons in
stones. tongues in trees, songs in
babbling brooks and good in every
thing" but. according to the views Of
the editor Of the Argus, no man can
have spirituality unless he is of "a
retiring disposition himself
behind stone walls and out Of sight
of the blue sky and thinks only of the
goodness of God. the total depravity
of man and how he may get to heaven
without bothering his head about his
fellows He must develop his soul by
ignoring the existence of other crea-
lures. the beauties of creation and his
duties to other mere human beings
and center his thoughts upon his fu-
ture existence with the angels.

GOOD If YOU LIKE IT.

II the people of this city want the
financial affairs Of the municipality
and Of the school district administer
ed regardless Of the statutes Of the
state, all that is necessary is to keep
the present machine in power. Dur
ing the last year there has been open
and fragrant violation Of the laws pro-
hibiting a municipal officer or
member of the school board from haV-
ing anv financial interest in any CON
tract or in the sale of supplies TO the
city or to the school district. The
mayor of. this city. who is also mem
Der OF the school board, has made use
of both positions to sell material for
public use to the value OF several
thousand dollars.
OF course if the people Of this city
like this sort of disregard for the law,
that is what they like and there is
no use for anybody to complain.

RACE SUICIDE-COMMON SENSE

In an article in the June number OF
the North American Review entitled
Race Suicide and Common Sense,
a writer who describes himself as
"Paterfamilias" expresses some con
victiOns on the subject which has been
brought into prominence by recent ut
terances of the president in regard to
race suicide. The meaning which
"PaterfamiIias" finds in the state
ments made by the president is that
the larger a family is the better. and
with this theory he joins issue. Re
yertng to the days Of his youth, when
large families were the rule, he re
calls that the lives of the mothers of
these families were lives of pain, anX-
iety and toll. His own mother did
not have. on an average. one new dress
a year, and a real nice dress was sup
posed to last her ten years. She was
offered up as a constant sacrifice on
the altar of family development AMI

the sake of bringing a large brood into

to bear most Of the burdens of life:
who will be compelled to give up many
comforts which they crave, and which

ONE JUROR STOOD OUT.
But For Him Curtia Jett Would Have

sut For Him curtia Jett Would Have
 Beeu Convicted of Murder: 4
 Jackson, Ky, June 1s.-But for one juror. Curtis Jett would have been con- victed here to-day for the murder of J. B. Marcum and majority Of the Jury also favored the conviction of Thomas White. Both are tonight almost one hundred miles from home in jail at Lexington and their next trial will be at Cyntfiana, more than one hundred miles from Jackson, away in the moun- tains in the Blue Mountain region un- CT very different conditions from those existing in Breathitt county.
 The interest In the change of venue to-day was second only to the verdict. When Judge Redwine refused to hear arguments on the change 1t was stated by many in the court house that the presiding judge had heard from Cover nor Reckham, who is generally believed to have had something to do with the change of venue to Harrison county, where J. J. Osborne is the circuit judge, l.. P. Pryor is the comrnonwealth's att torney and the sheriff and other court officers are also favorably known. There Is general confidence in the sur roundings of the next trial. If the yer dict had been one of conviction the res- idents here feel that violence would have followed and that 1t would have extended to others than witnesses, jur- ors and those who had taken part in the prosecution.

MUDDLE OVER GALVESTON
THE CABINET GIVES IT SERIOUS
 ATTENTION.

Tho Dncstou to Disregard tho Finding
 of the Court of Virginia Considered
 sound-Prosrammo tos Launch tho
 Gunboas Under Federal Protection to
 bo Carried ont Despite the State
 Authoriticss
 Washington, June '19.-The time of the cabinet meeting to-day was con- stunned in large part by the considera- ton of the legal questions involved in the decision of the United States gov- ernment to disregard the decision of the court of Virginia and seize the incom- plete gunboat Galveston at the Trigg shipyards in Richmond.
 Attorney-General Knox presented a carefully prepared opinion on the sub ject, strongly affirming the right of the government to disregard the injunction, granted yesterday in the Virginia court, which forbids the resumption of work on the Galveston pending settlement of the claim of the sub-contractors who have not been paid for material fur nished. %%I
 In concluding his opinion the attor- ney-general says: "one further point remains to be considered. The letter of the secretary of the navy requests to be. authorized to employ, if necessary, the military forces of the government at his disposal for the execution of his orders in the premises. I am loath to believe that occasion for such exertion of the federal powers will arise, being confident that any claim to interfere with the national rights under the judi cial authority of the state of Virginia will be promptly disposed of and de- nied by the chancery court. For this reason I shall defer answering that question"
 The cabinet after considering this opinion unanimously decided that the governments case was sound, and that the programme outlined yesterday by Mir. Moody should be pursued. An ef- fort will be made, therefore, to launch the boat next Monday. It is intimated |that information will be conveyed to the Virginia justice who granted the in- junction in this case that he has ex- ceeded his proper functions. and it is expected that he will withdraw from what the attorney-general and the president regard as an untenable posi- tion.
 By the president and the members of the cabinet the action taken at the meeting is regarded as of the highest importance. The question raised is new and almost unique. Both the president and his advisers gave it the most care- full consideration.

BAILEY'S STORY.
Offers Proof That Cleveland Knew He
 Was Beiug Interviewed.


 Washington June 19.-G. M. Bailey, Washington correspondent of the Gal veston-Dallas News, said tonight with reference to MT. Cleveland's statement that the former president must have overlooked the letter he (Bailey) sent MT. Cleveland and the reply of the let ter in which he intimated that he had not known Mir Bailey was there with the purpose of obtaining his views for publication.
 "In answer to my letter." said MT. Bailey, II received a letter from MT. Cleveland saying I have received your letter of the 4th inst. suggesting visit to my home on your way to New York in behalf of your paper but suggesting the visit be deferred until after his re- turn from Ohio as he was very busy then and If the trip were postponed the chances of satisfactory interview would be greatly increased.

Cleve- land if he had requested it and if there is any inaccuracies in any part of my story I regret it but as no specification is made as to inaccurate statements cannot know to what part the criticism is offered.

CHAMBERLAIN CONFIDENT.
Convinced of Ultimate Triumph of Hts
 Colonial Policy.

London, June 19.-Colonial Secretary Chamberlain delivered a speech to- night at a banquet given by the Corona club in which, while throwing no fresh light on the governments intentions, he left no doubt regarding his own convic- tion of the ultimate triumph of his col onial and imperial programme. MT. Chamberlain dealt in a testing spirit with the now frequently printed and spoken prophecies of his being crushed into oblivion beneath the zollverein millstone. and said that threatened men lived long,
 Whatever might be his personal fate, he would look back with pride and sat- isfaction on the. great imperial policy with which he had been permitted to be associated in some degree in common with many members of the club. He said he was sorry that he had not been able to visit all the colonies while in office. but he hoped that his successors would be able to complete the whole round, and they could not take more educative journey.

The local men were the favorites, but it was evident, before the contest had proceed ed far in the afternoon, that d battla royal was on, and such it proved to be,
 five sets being necessary to settle tha question of supremacy, the collegians winning out.
