JUDGE MULKEY
A PROMINENT METROPOLIS MAN
DIED SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
Was Born In Kentucky and Made
Quite a Reputation In His
Profession.

Judge John II. Mulkey died at his
residence In Metropolis. Illinois. on
Sunday evening at 6 o'clock. The
Judge had been in falling health for
some time and his death was not un-
expected by his family.
Judge Mif1key was born in Ken
lucky in May. 1924. He went at an
early age with his fathers family to
Illinois and settled in Franklin coun-
ty on farm. After serving In the
Mexican war he returned TO his llli-
nois home and became country
schoolmaster. During this period he
applied himself TO the study of law.
Before seeking admission TO the bar
he tried farming and for a time had
store in Williamson county. lie
removed to Perry county and there
obtained his license to practice law
in 1857.
Judge Mulkey went TO Cairo in
1869 and shortly thereafter was
made Judge of the common pleas
court of Cairo.
Al one time he formed partner

Baker. of Cairo and in 1879, he was

Judge Mulkey acquired great repu-
tation as a jurist. lie knew the law.
lie possessed the highest integrity.
His opinions were models of good
English. The lawyers of the stare
soon recognized his splendid ability.
He was member of the Roman
Catholic church, and in politics was

subject Of political barter. Besides.
there are many obstacles to the real
ization of such an ambition. Mr..
Root will not be young man when
the next national convention of the
Republican party Is held. He viii be
nearly go. an age that practically
eliminates him from the contest.
But more serious than this is the
fact that a party dominated by the
Roosevelt ideas and 0ent upon the
development of the Roosevelt policy
in the economic and industrial sphere
will scarcely take the greatest cor
poration lawyer in the country as It's
candidate for president.
There is room in the cabinet for
two big men, and the presence of
Mr.. Root in the state department
will not eclipse the younger and
equally vigorous secretary OF war.

THE EQUITABLE LIFE

New York, July 1.-THE World

Revelations far more startling
than those in the report Of Super

ance departments investigation OF

titled that the Depew Improvement
company in which he was interested.
obtained loans from the Equitable
OF s2be,0G0 In property which thu
state Insurance department valued
at only $4,000. He admitted
neither principal nor interest had
been paid and that the Equitable
had been forced to foreclose. He
admitted that as a member of the
investigation committee of the Equit-
able he had not advised this loan,

Restore stamp Tax.

Washington, July 1i.--There is
seemingly a pretty strong DRIFT
among Republican statesmen to re-
store the special stamp taxes OF the
Spanish war to meet the treasury de-
felt of over s4O.OOO.OOO that is
threatened during the fiscal year that
is just beginning
With a deficit of about $4,000
600 in the year that has just closed
and no possible doubt as to a larger
deficit in Tyesent fiscal year, 1t is
wise that the leading figures of con-
gress should begin plans for making
the receipts and expenses more near
ly balance each other in the fiscal
year 1907.
There are suggestions OF a revi-
sion of the tariff laws so as TO pro-
duce more revenue. but these do
not come from the men who rule
the senate and house. There are
treasury watch dogs in both bodies
of congress who believe that expen-
ditures can be cut so that no addi-
tional taxation will be necessary. but
the practical men cannot see where
much can be accomplished in that
direction. certainly not enough to
meet the threatened deficit.

MR.. ROOT IN THE CABINET

The country has applauded the
president for appointing Elihu Root
to succeed John Hay as secretary of
state. and Mr.. Root for accepting the
Office at a great personal sacrifice
has shared in the applause. Mr..
Roosevelts good judgment and Mr..
Roots patriotism well deserve this
recognition, says the Lexington Herr
aid. No more worthy successor for
one of the greatest of American pre-
miers could have been found. He is
a man of large affairs. safe judg-
ment and ripe experience. His abil-
ity has already stood the test. He
will not be an experiment. He sur
renders the unquestioned primacy of
the American bar and probably the
most lucrative law practice in the
world. He quits the profession when
he has reached the highest success;
when there is before him the pros
pect of such harvest as few lawyers
have ever reaped. To have remained
at the bar meant much greater
wealth within the next few years.
But he enters upon the prospect of
greater achievements than the mere
accumulation of wealth. That he is
able to see and appreciate this pros
pect that he is willing TO take up
this task; that he is ready to make
this pecuniary sacrifice for the honor
of serving his country, is evidence
of his fitness.
While Secretary Hay established
the United States in the family of
nations: while We have the respect
of the world, we must continue to
play an important role in all interna-
tional affairs. Our new position in
world politics greatly exalts the i'm
portance and broadens the opportu-
mites of the American secretary of
state. Mr.. Root measures up to the
new standard.
There may or may not be politi-
cal Significance in the appointment.
Secretary Taft has hitherto been re-
garded as the legitimate heir of the
administration, but there is a dis
position to regard Mr.. Roots return
10 the cabinet as an indication that
he is to be the Roosevelt candidate
for the succession. A decker of this
sort as the basis Of his acceptance of
the portfolio OF state would rob Mr..
Roots action of all element OF sac
rifice and exalted patriotism. III this
be the condition he is merely taking
the gamblers chance for presiden-
tial stake. II is hardly conceivable
that men of the calibre OF Root and
Roosevelt would make the highest
homer In the gift of the president the

Reports From Kentucky. Illinois aud
Surrounding Territory Are Very
Discouraging.

The excessive rains OF the last few
weeks have wrought havoc among
the farmers In Kentucky and South

The effect is already being felt
here according TO wholesalers who
say that everywhere in this territory
their travelling men are receiving
discouraging reports from the coun-
try merchants as result Of the dam
age that has been done to the crops.
The rains have caused the wheat
to sprout and the weeds have sprung
up so rapidly in the corn fields that
the farmers are finding II impossible
to keep their crops in proper shape.
To add to their misfortune the hay
crop has been ruined and vegetables
and fruit greatly damaged.
. The loss in McCracken county
alone is estimated at several thous-
and dollars by prominent farmer,
who was in the city on business.
