VOTED DOWN.

The oity council, at it's meeting
Tuesday night, voted down a mo.
ton to grant a franchise ::to the
Cumberland telephone company,
which the PRESS notes with pleas
ure. The telephone service we
have here is the best Sin the coun-
try. The Editor of the PRESS
for ID years has visited semi. an
nually almost every section of
Kentucky and has travelled during
that time a distance equal to quad
ripple the circumference of the
globe, has used telephones every
day since they were installed, has
friends in every county of this and
many of the adjoining stat 8
whose voices he knows 100 miles
awav over the phone, but at no
place have they any better service
than in Marion and vicinity. The
management is clever and accom-
modating at all times, and we
think Marion owes much to them
as we'll as to the foundsr of the
system, j. Il. Alexander. Marion

Ex.G0v. BROWN DEAD.

There passed away at Hender.
son, Ky, his home, Monday, one
of the brainiest men Kentucky
has ever Produced; lawyer OF
rare ability, leader of great sa-
gacity, and a lawyer almost with
a peer. John Young Brown, than
whom no man was better known
in public life, was born near Eli
zabethtown, Ky, June Is, 1885;
died at Henderson, Ky, Jan 18th,
1904, in his 18th year.
He was a graduate of Center
College; in the class with w. @.
2. Breckenridge, 7. NJ, Green and
Gov. Crittenden, of Missouri. In
1859 he was elected to Congress,
but being only "a years old was
not allowed to take his seat for a
year after. He opposed "Nonoth-
ingism," an snti-catholic move
ment, although he was Protest
ant. In 1860 he stumped Kentnc-
ky for Stephen A. Douglas for
President. In 1861 be VIZ elect
ed to congress, and in 1875, in the
halls ofcongress denounced Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler. which gave
him national prominence. He re-
tired from congress and was cleo
ted Governor in 1891. He made
an enviable record as the chief ex-
ecutive. Had he rested on his
lsurels he would have gone to his
reward with the love and conf
dence of all his constituents. His
memorable race as an independent
candidate for Governor on the
gold bug platform cost him many
friends, and caused his political
star to set forever, although he
was followed in his convictions by
many noted statesmen. OF him
the Courier-Journal says editori-
ally:
He was, in many respects, no
ordinary man. A good lawyer,
with strong and cultivated mind,
an eloquent advocate, a fearless
executive, the force of his charac-
ter, the independence and sturdi.
ness OF his convictions, the integ-
rity of his private life and the con
scientiousness and oftentimes bril-
lance of his public service, com
msnded universal respect from
friends and opponents alike"

"Colonei'' and Nanseam.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

A camp of Confederate veterans at
New Orleans protested against the
use of military titles not won in ac-
tual service. A very good PROPOSE
ton, but how is it going to be accom-
plished? The habit of dignifying
men as generals and colonies who
never saw a squadron iii the held,'
is common and pernicious. and fre-
quently the men to whom the titles
are applied are unwilling victims.
When the world reaches state Of
profound peace, and there is general
disarmament. it will be patent that all
military titles are bogus and the un-
earned dignities may be cancelled.
This is one of the many situations.
though, that has to wait for the long
deferred millennium.

The Greatest of the Worlds Battles.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
With respect to numbers engaged,
as we'll as the duration OF the strug-
gle, the battle before Lao Yang ex-
ceeds all previous records. The bat
tie in effect has been in progress since
August rs, when the Japanese began
their threedav assault on the Russian
positions in the neighborhood OF Al
ping, forcing their enemies lett back
to the Iaitse river. On August Fl
the strongly fortified town OF .Anshan-
shan was abandoned by the Russian
right in consequence OF Japanese
hanking movement and the piercing
OF the Russian center. There was
lighting all day long on the extreme
Russian left on August 2o. and at
dawn on August 80 the tremendous
struggle, which is>still on, was open
ed all along the line Most OF the
great and decisive battles Of the world
have been one-day afairs Jena,
Austeriitz, Borodino and Waterloo
were fought in one day; the battles
about Metz in the Franco-German
war and at Gettysburg ragged three
days; the battle of Lao Yang has
continued eight days and is still in
progress.
Estimates OF the number of men
engaged vary. According to a Jap
anese report, General Kuropatkin has
IS divisions under his command. A
Russian division, on the war footing,
contains approximately 10000 men.
The military critic Of the Berlin
Kreutz Zietung figures out the nomi-
nal strength of the Russian army in
Manchuria to be 100000 men. The
Japanese armies are certainly equal
to the Russians in point of numbers
and probably exceed the latter in
the ratio of three to two. Making
all deductions for wounded, sick and
other inefectives, the forces in line
of battle at Lao Yang are greater
than any that heretofore met on
field of blood. The largest number
engaged in any battle of the Napol
comic wars was at T eiDzip on the re-
treat from Moscow, where the allies
were in command of 100000 and the
French had less than 8o,ooo The
combatants at Borodino numbered
10000; at Waterloo, 100000; at
Fredericksburg, Va, 100000; at
Gettysburg, about 10000; at Crave
lotte, 100000. and at Sedan, $4,000.

YERKES FOR

DISTINGUISHED KENTUCKiAN IN
sTRNOG POSITION FOR THE

Washington, Dec. Plead
ers of the Republican party in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia,
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
Florida. South Carolina, North
Carolina, Maryland and West
Virginia have united in a move
ment to ask the President to
place John w. Yerkes in the
cabinet. This movement has as
its sponsor Representative
Brownlow, Of Tennessee, and he
has assurances from the party
Organizations Of all the South
ern States, except Missouri,
which is practically Western
State, Of their hearty support of
the movement for Southern
man in the cabinet, and of their
accord with the idea that Mr..
Yerkes is the man. 1t is be-
lieved here that there is no doubt
that the President will choose
Mr.. Yerkes if he takes any man
from the South.
Consideration will be given to
the ideas of Southern Republi-
cans that if any Republican from
their States is placed In the
Presidents cabinet as from the
South that he must be native
born Southerner. Mr.. Yerkes
has said repeatedly that he would
permit no person to ask for any
appointment or favor in his
name, and, of course, this move
ment was organized and is being
carried on without his knowledge
until it became public property
today.
Mr.. Yerkes believes that an
Office of the dignity of cabinet
position should come uusought,
that the President should not be
embarrassed by having volunteer
suggestions thrust. upon him as
TO whom he shall select as his
personal advisers.
