A FINE SERMON.

We had the pleasure, on Sunday
morning last, of hearing a sermon
by Rev. w. l.. McEwan, ID. d., of
Pittsburg, Penn, from the text
Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of Heaven, but he that
doeth the will of my Father"
1t was strong presentation Of
the truths of the text, and, at the
same time he took occasion to cheer
the people of God with the proofs
of the fact that the world is grow
ing better, saying that under all
the discouragements that may and
have come, there were more than the
old time "seven thousand who had
not bowed the Knee to Baal," and
who were consecrated TO the SER
vice of the Master.
1t was a sermon full of power
and encouragement to higher and
better living among Christians

DEATH OF EX-SENATOR
GEORGE GRAHAM
VEST.

Ex-senator George Graham Vest,
of Missouri, died on Tuesday last,
at his home at Old Sweet Springs,
in that State, aged a years. Mr..
Vest was born in this city, edu-
Gated at the famous Sayre Acad-
envy, afterwards graduating from
Center College, Danville, and the
Law Department of sylvania
University, Lexington. He was
the son of the late Mr.. John H..
Vest. He leaves one sister, Mrs.
Mary Ellen Bachelor, now resid-
ing in Philadelphia, Penn, with
her daughter.
OF his immediate family he leaves
wife, son and daughter.
Mr.. Vest removed to Missouri in
1853, when he was % years of age.
He served in the Missouri Legis-
lature before the war. He also
served in the Confederate Congress.
After the war closed he was elected
10 UDe u >. oeHdte as b0HlOCldt,
and served until last year, when,
owing to ill health, he declined a
reelection.
We remember Mr.. Vest well as a
young man. He was slender, about
3 feet inches high, thin-visaged,
freckled faced and red headed, and
always carried his head on one
side, as though rhynecked. He
was a brilliant-minded and highly
educated man, and it was always
thought he would achieve the emil
hence that came to him afterwards.
He fleshened up as he grew older
and no one who had seen him as a
young man only would ever have
recognized him in his later years.
His family were all old line
Wings, but he was a Democrat from
his youth and often wrote for the
old Frankfort Woman when pub
lished by Mr.. VIM. Tanner, and
afterwards by Col. $. /. M. Major.
All the Graham family of this
city and county are cousins of his
of more or less degree.

CONCERNING AUSTRALIAN
BABIES.

An editorial in Harper's weekly
calls attention to report just
issued by the government of New
South Wales, by which it appears
that in that Colony, and in Aus
tralia at large. there has been for
the last thirty years a progressive
decline in the birthrate. This is
attributed by Harper's Weekly to
1.-THE domination of the working
man and, the voting woman"
Women have only had the ballot i'm
New South Wales since 1902, and in
Australia Mt large they voted for
the first time on December Is, 1903.
Therefore, if the birthrate has been
decreasing steadily for thirty years,
it can hardly be a result of woman
suffrage.
In England, Scotland and Ire
land, where women vote for all
officers except members of Parlia-
ment, families are generally large.
In America, where women do not
vote, families have become so small
as to lead to a widespread discus
sion of "race-suicide." From this
it would seem that the size of fam
lilies is determined by influences
that have little to do with the
ballot.
To lay the lessening birthrate of
Australia to 1.-The domination of
the working man" is almost as alb
surd as to lay it to 1.-THE voting
woman" Whatever criticisms may
be made upon working men, they
generally have larger families than
the rich.

Mr.. Davis Suggestions.

Mr.. Davis letter dwelt upon the
Importance of securing from business
men of the city accurate statements
as to the quantity of agricultural pro
ducts shipped into the city. II Is es'
sential to assure the department that
the product OF the ten thousand acres
can be marketed at home. or this
there can be no doubt and statistics
to that effect are now being prepared
II Is also Of Importance TO prepare
statements to show that the water
supply for the irrigable area Is ample
that the land will all be taken up by
settlers on the terms proposed. that
the irrigated lands can be farmed al
a profit and that the government will
be sure OF return Of its investment
There can be no manner Of doubt but
a satisfactory showing can be made
in everyone of these particulars and
elaborate statistics and statements
are ALREADY in course of preparation
bv business men, agrieulturalists ant
other citizens.
When It Is considered that set
tier will have 10 pay less than six dol

cent for ten years and at the end Of
that time he becomes the owner OF
a permanently irrigated farm worth
$4,000.
The discussion OF the Las Vegas
project Ia scheduled for discussion by
tho full board Of reclamation engin'
GERS today. The delegation that has
gone down will be able TO furnish val
liable information and II may convince
the board OF the entire feasibility of
the project Practically, II is with
this board that the decision rests, al
though all projects must be approved
by the secretary OF the interior,
Whether at the meeting In III Paso,
or later by more elaborate state
ments, there can be no reasonable
doubt but such convincing testimony
will be furnished as will result in
the construction Of the reservoir and
irrigation works.
The engineers, who made a study
of the situation here, also, went quite
fully into the matter OF the damage
done in this district by floods and
figured on the amount saved could the
flood waters be placed beyond the
means of doing injury by reservoir
system.
