Ex.cowBoY BREAKS WILD MUSTANG

A Wise Move,
A Wise Move

The Board of Control of the
Kentucky State Fair met at the
Office of the secretary at Lexlng-
ton last Wednesday. There were
a number of quite important mat
tiers which came before 1T, but
The most important action taken
was one which wall beyond ques-
tion meet the approval of every
taxpayer in Kentucky and every
one interested in the permanent
success of the State Fair, This
was resolution of the board that
there should be no COMPLIMENTS
ry tickets issued for the State
Fair.
The resolution as passed pro-
vided that not only should there
! be no complimentary tickets is
sued, but that there should be no
complimentary tickets printed,
so that there will be no possibili-
ty of any being issued under any
-circumsti noes or to any individ-
ual.
The Board of Control, after a
Thorough discussion of the ques-
'tion, came to the conclusion that
1it was its duty to the taxpayers
of the State, whose coined sweat
is gwen as premiums at the fair,
to take this action.

Query: If the Transfers union
can tangle up our streets and
create riot and disorder in one
hour, what could chatfeurs'
union do in twenty minutes?
The great bulk of our citizens,
who perforce continue to u.s. the
old Adamic method of locomo-
ton, are anxiously asking this
question today. They have no
ticed that the chaffeurs intend
to organize. They know what
the unorganized Chauffeur can do
when he moveth himself Alright.
Can they be blamed for a feeling
of apprehension and dread in
contemplating the possibilities
of .chaffeurs?
The blockading powers of a
four horse truck are not to be
compared with the devastating
possibilities of a forty-horse
power automobile zigzagging
through the streets with union
Chauffeur at the steering wheel.
One union Chauffeur on a strike
would be equivalent to ten union

pied by Walter B. Miner in the af-
fections of this community, seems not
yet to be filled by anyone else, nor
does it seem, as we look through our
tears, possible to fill that place. There
is vacant seat at the First National
Bank, where he filled faithfully ami
trustily and efficiently the position he
there held. The cashier of the bank
has told me that he does not know
where just now he can place his hand
upon man who could serve his in
stitution SO WELL He felt that in his
absence the affairs of the bank would
be as we'll cared for by the judgment
and fidelity of Walter Miner, as they
would be in his own hands.
There is vacant place, too, in the
First Presbyterian church of Lewis
town, where he has held membership
almost from the beginning of the
church's history fifteen years ago.
Coming with letter from the Con
gregational church of Omaha, Nebras-
ka, he has been identified with this
church since April %. 1894. The

and spiritual men to fill the high and
honored position of the eldership, vot.

in solemn service at the church he
was ordained and installed May S,
1904. There is no higher office to be
conferred by the Presbyterian church
and many of the great and good men
of our country have found it their
rich reward to serve therein. In his
service with me. on the session he
always endeavored to be considerable
and helpful. A word of cheer and en-
couragement from him has often been
appreciated by the pastor. Coming

Our Growing Fore ion Commerce.

The foreign commerce of the Unit
ed States in the fiscal year just end
ed exceeds that of any preceding veal
having been .635,97O,333, in con-
parison with s2,45l, 914,642 in 1904
the previous record year.
An analysis of the statistics Of for
cign commerce during the year END
ing June 80, 1905, just prepared by
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor through it's Bureau of Statistics,
shows that both imports and exports
made new high records, imports hav-
ing exceeded by 1872 100000 the total
recorded in 1908, and exports having
for the first time surpassed the flg
ures of 1901. In 1903 imports first
passed the billion-dOllar limit, with
total of $1.025, 1921: in 1904 they
again fell below one billion dollars
in value, being s99l ,0S7,37l, and for
the year just ended are SLIT ,507 500
Exports first rose above one billion
dollars in value during the fiscal year
1892, but fell below that limit in the
following year, and so remained until
1897, when the total was 81 $50 ,933,
$50. In 1898 the total exports were
1921, 4S2.339: in 1900, 1894 .4S3 ,0Sa;
in 1901, s1,4s7,76499l, total which
was not again equaled until 1905.
when the figures stood at s1,5lS,462.-
S33, not only surprising the record
made in 1901, but for the first time
in the history of our commerce pass

limit
On the import side the largest III
creases occur in the classes "manufac-
turers' materials. wholly or partially
MANUFACTURED" in which the figures
will be about 20 million dollars III
advance of those for the preceding
year. and in "luxuries and other ar

likely to be more than Is million do.

lars in excess of the figures of 1904,
Articles of food and animals" have
increased by over As millions, and
manufactured articles ready for con.
sumption" have fallen off about four
million dollars, as compared with
1904. These figures indicate the in
creasing ability of the United States
to supply its manufacturers and it's
growing reliance upon other countries
for certain of it's food products and
materials for use in the manufac-
turing industries. This view is
strengthened by an examination of
the statistics of articles imported.
The principal articles which show
ed decreased importatiOns during the
eleven months ending with May, 1905.
as compared with the corresponding
period OF the preceding year were
manufactured articles, including chem.
icals. cotton goods, feathers, fiber
manufactures. glass and glassware,
iron and steel manufactures, metal
manufactures. and wool manufactures.
Tea. cocoa and vegetables were the
only important food products to show
decrease, while the impOrtatiOns of
breadstuffs, coffee, fish, fruits and
nuts, provisions Oncluding meat and
dairy products). spices and sugar were
materially larger than those of the
preceding year. Raw and partially
manufactured articles imported for
use as manufacturers materials show
increased importations. Coal impor.
tations are about $1,50O,OOO below
the figures of last year.
On the export side there is a de-
crease Of over SO million dollars in ag-
ricultural products, but this is more
than Offset by large increase in ex-
ports Of manufactures The less i'm
portant classes, products of the for
ests and the fisheries. show a slight
net decrease as compared with 1904.
The articles showing the largest
increases in expectations during the
eleven months of 1905 for which de-
tails are available are: Corn. cop
per manufactures, cotton manufac.
lures, raw cotton. iron and steel man
ufactures, hops. leather and manufac-
lures thereof, oil cake and meal, oils.
and vegetable. rice, spirits,
wines, and malt liquors.
