WORKING FOR THE COLLEGE.

1t is well that the Commercial club
committee that has in hand the
Methodist college matter, is allowing
no grass to grow under its feet, for
other cities are working desperately
to euchre Paducah out of the prize.
A meeting was recently held in
Louisville, and the greensboro bust
ness mems committee reported that
the fight was between Louisville and
Greensboro. The Messenger says:
Judge l.. p. Little spoke on the
situation with regard to the Speed
fund with which the Methodist Epis-
copal church is to establish a col
lege. Judge Little attended, in Louis
vile last Tuesday. a meeting of the
educational boards from the Louis
vile and Kentucky conferences OF
the Methodist Episcopal church.
South, and the Kentucky conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
held for the purpose of discussing
this matter. He stated last night that
the board which has charge of the
Speed fund has not determined def
niteiy what will be done with the
money When the test comes he
said, the contest for the college will
be between Louisville and Owens
boro. All that has been said about
Louisville being off the list of pos
sible sites was without authority"
This of course may all be for the
purpose of throwing other cities off
the scent. Greensboro will find later
on, however, that there is another
city to be reckoned with, and 1t is
Paducah.

those who keep this faith shall
dwell on high; their place of de-
Tense shall be the munitions OF
rocks"
We call with this motto for har-
mony the leader we love, the one
who marshaled back of his banner
the mightiest army of unbought
freemen that ever marched to the
ballot box. not one of whom was fat
tening by unjust laws-Kentucky,
whose Democracy has been tried in
blood, declares that with the passing
of years her love grows greater for
Bryan.
In brief the address of Judge J. II.
Tarvin, of Covington, KY. declared
for Bryan as the standard bearer for
Democracy in 1908.
When Bryan rose to speak. he
was greeted with enthusiastic demon
STATIONS and II was some minutes be-
fore the applause subsidized sufficient
ly for him to proceed. Bryan, in re-
spending to the toast Democracy
VS.. Capitalization" said that "there
are two forces constantly at work in
every nation. one force tending to
bring government nearer to the peo-
pie and the other tending to carry
government from the people"
Bryan entered upon lengthy ex-
PLANTATION of the difference between
the Jeffersonian Democrats and the
advocates of Capitalization. The for
mer would insist upon constitutional
division of powers of federal and
state government neither encroach-
ing upon the other. Advocates of CEN
tralization distrust the people, ia
vorable obliteration of state lines
and would remove the government
from the control of the voters.
Bryan opposed the national con-
troll of life insurance and national
charters to large corporations. He
would control trusts by means of IL
cense similar to license controlling
the liquor traffic. so that the trusts
while under government regulations,
would still be amendable to state
laws.
In conclusion he said:
ut should be the purpose of the
Democratic party and it's constant
effort to bring into harmony with
those who live under it, and to make
1t reflect more and more their in
telligence. virtue and patriotism. In
proportion as the Democratic party
trusts the people and protects them,
IL will win the confidence and sup
port of the people. and no one can
doubt the final triumph of such a
party. without doubling correctness
and growth of principles of free gov
eminent"
Referring to the suggestions of the
other speakers that he should be the
next Democratic candidate for the
presidency, Bryan declared he is not
now a candidate for any Office, that
he never said he would never again
be a candidate for office, but that the
talk of candidacy does not affect him
as 1t once did.
81 trust that before the time comes
to name the man for the next presi-
dency," he said, II hope that he may
be thrown upon our party's pathway
and that a man be chosen who will
be best able to do for the party
more good than have yet been
able TO do"

IN POLITICS FOR % YEARS

Chicago. ILL.,, Sept. william
j. Bryan, who arrived in Chicago to
attend the banquet which the JEFF
erson club gave him last night on
the eve of his departure for a tour
of the world, reiterated his inten-
ton to remain in politics for %
years, notwithstanding the jolts sd-
ministered to him by the voters Of
the United States. In the. course on
an interview on political matters It
was limited that he planned to for
get politics during his year of travel
in foreign lands.
Forget politics." No, indeed, q"
said Mr.. Bryan empbatically. 81 full
ly intend to take an active interest
in politics for many years to come.
shall study public questions while
abroad and send back considerable
correspondence during my absence.
| have tried to make IL understood
on several occasions that | mean to
stay in politics for at least twenty
five years yet"
what about the Democratic plat
form of 1902"
''It is too early to discuss that"
said Mr.. Bryan.
Nobody can tell in 1905 what
will be the issues in 1908. Man,
things may happen to change exist
ing conditions, for instance. the
railroad rate question may assume
new aspect. especially If the United
States senate should decide to act on
the matter"
Covers were laid at the banquet
for three hundred guests and among
those present were many leading
Democrats.
The first speaker was Congressman
Rainey of Illinois. who spoke of "our
obligations as world power, at
home and abroad"
Mayor Dunno spoke on THE pro-
gress of municipal ownership" at
the same time referring to Bryan In
words of high praise.
Congressman ollie M. James, of
Kentucky, brought out ~ound after
round of applause by the eulogy of
Bryan and the plea for Democratic
harmony with which he closed
speech in which he declared that
Bryan had long ago declared in ia
vor of crushing the trusts, reform
ing the tariff and bringing to arbi-
tration all international disputes.
He said in part:
The Democratic party of the
United States looks to Bryan as its
leader; he stands for something; he
has convictions and the courage to
express them; no longer do the six
and one half million million of 10y
al Democrats look to the east. The
wise men used to be there, but with
the star of empire. westward they
have taken their way. Listening no
longer to the siren song of ANY
thing to win" no longer deluded by
the prospect of campaign contribu-
tons. We braveiy hail at the mast
head of Democracy this doctrine,
what shall 1t profit the Democratic
party If 1t gain all the trusts and
lose the common people?"
The Democrats of the south greet
their Democratic brethren of the
county and beg for harmony-the
harmony that "despiseth the gain of
oppression" harmony that
"shaketh its hands from the hold
ing of bribes"-the harmony that
"stoppeth its ears from hearing of
blood and shutteth its eyes from see
ing evil" for We are promised that

along the pier when she left the boat.
The inspectors all knew her, for she
had teen back and forth many times.
It was because they knew her. that
they questioned her about the little
bundle In her arms. She told them
the baby was her own, for 1t is lie
that comes first to Chinaman's lips.
This was her undoing. In the court
she added lie to lie, but in the end
the judge knew that the baby had not
been born to her. She had no right
to bring it In without papers, and she
had not thought of this. The infant
could not be deported, because no
amount of questioning could make the
woman reveal the homo of the child.
Besides, the judge did not see that the
child would be better of with a moth
or who would sell her for ten dollars
than with a woman who would pay
that for her. On the other hand, she
could not be entered, and babies under
a year are too little to go to Jail. At
length the Judge decided to turn his
little prisoner over to a mission that
makes a business of rescuing Chinese
slave women, with the agreement Of
10 cents a day for her board. In the
four years she has been at the mis-
sion Yute Ho il has become the pet
OF the household, and it seems to be
an instance Of the punishment fitting
the crime.

DEADLY ENGLISH SPORTS.
Natives Of South Africa Try Rowing
with Results Somewhat
Disastrous.

Wherever an Englishman finds his
way he leaves traces behind In the
form of his favorite sport or pastims
Civilization Of this kind has just
touched the Zambesi, and the natives
are reported to have taken kindly 70 a
regatta, says Stray Stories.
Some Of the events were intertersd
with by what might be termed local
elements. or example the eisht-oar
boat race was scarcely q conspicuous
success. owing to stampede OF els-
plants into the water at the start
As result. only one boat was left
to complete the course, and that one
was bitten In half by hippopotamus
when about half distance.
In the crocodile race . protest was
lodged In consequence Of the winning
reptile arriving home with his jockey
inside, having accidentally swallowed
him for safety during a collision.
The natives engaged in the sailing
match fell IN with an unfriendly tribe
half way down the river. and landed
to settle outstanding differences. This
happened two months ago. and II none
of the boats put in appearance before
the close of the year the time limit
clause will enable the committee to
cancel the race.
II the rate of mortality maintained
by the last regatta is upheld. stats
ticians estimate that three more Of
these riverside festivals may be hsli
before the tribe becomes extinct.

Henshaw looked learned enough. His
answer to their question was prompt.
"The Pan-Americah exposition" he
declared, took place in 1899"
