The Fight Does Not Seem to Be
Over.
The Present Bill May Affect a Num-
her of Cities and Counties
I'm the State.
1T IL BAD FOR LOCAL OPTION.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 27.-An eff
fort will be made this week TO
amend the Chinn substitute for the
County Unit bill when it reaches the
house. Under its provisions cities
of the first five classes may vote as
unit on local option, and counties
outside of such cities may vote as
units.
Sixty-five counties of the state
have voted licensed saloons entirely
out of their borders; twenty-nine
have licensed saloons in but one
place, and only five counties allow
whiskey to be sold generally within
their limits. They are Campbell,
Kenton, jefferson, Meade and Todd,
and each one of these counties has
more or less dry" territory.
Local Option Counties.
The counties in which liquor can
not be legally sold at any point are:
Ballard. Carlisle, Hickman, Fulton.
Graves. Galloway, Marshall, Mclean.
Butler. Simpson, Edmonson, Gray
son. Breckenridge. Hart Barren, AL
len Monroe, Metcalf, Larue, Bullitt.
Spencer Taylor, Adair, Cumberland.
Clinton, Wayne. Russell. Casey,
Boyle. Garrard, Oldham, Grant
Nicholas. Bath, Fleming, Rowan, Ell
lott. Carter, Lawrence, Mar
tin, Johnson. Menifee, Pow
ell, Lee, Wolfe. Morgan, Magoffin,
Floyd. Pike. Knott, Letcher, Leslie,
Harlan, Perry. Owsley. Clay, Knox.
Whitley. Laurel, Rockcastle, Jack
son and Robertson.
II is generally conceded that Lou
isville and the four second-class cit
ies-Lexington Covington, Newport
and Paducah--would vote "wet" I'M
der any circumstances.
The four third-class cities are
Greensboro. Henderson, Frankfort
and Bowling Green. If the county
were the unit all except Greensboro
would probably vote dry" as the
other three cities are the only places
in their counties where liquor is
sold.

Fourth-Class Cities.

There are twenty-seven fourth
class cities. three of which, DAN
Vile. Mayfeld and Pineville, are To-
cal option. Dayton. Bellevue, Lato-
MIA. Ludlow and Central Covington
are in hopelessly "wet" counties. OF
the other fourth-class cities the fol-
lowing are the only places in their
respective counties in which liquor
is sold: Shelbyville, Mt. Sterling,
Middlesboro, Harrodsburg. Somer-
set. Lebanon Nicholasville Madison
vile and Princeton. II is almost
certain that If the county were the
unit whiskey would be voted out of
these towns. The following fourth
class cities are located in counties
in which whiskey is sold in more
than one place: Hopkinsville, Mays
vile. Richmond. Paris, Ashland,
Catlettsburg, Georgetown. Versailles
and Cynthiana.
OF the forty-seven fifth-class cit
les. twenty-five are located in strict
ly local option counties. Seven are
the only cities in their counties in
which liquor is legally sold They
are Elizabethtown. Russellville.
Falmouth, Central City, Vance
burg, Hawesville, Marion and Provi-
dence. II is probable that If the
county were the unit liquor would
be voted out of these places. The
other fifth-class towns are in coun-
ties in which liquor is sold in varl-
Gus places.

Notes From Washington
rom Our Regular Correspondent Mt


The first test of strength between
the Republican party and the Union
Labor party has been made in
Maine, and the results are regarded
by the Republican manager as in
the main satisfactory. Chairman
James Sherman, of the Republican
Congressional Committee, returned
to Washington this week, and said
that he was satisfied with the out
come of the Littlefeld contes t.,
which bv common consent has been
regarded as the real test If strength
with the new organization. Mr..
Sherma 4 said that no one who ana
lyzed the returns from Maine could
see that the Labor Union element
had lost most just where they ex-
pected to gain most. In the course
of an interview, Mr.. Sherman said
Mr.. Littlefelds majority was cut
down largely it is true, but he ran
ahead of his ticket and that is 3
good deal more than some of the
other Congressional candidates did.
Mr.. Gomcers in addition to max
ing a round Of speeches in Maine
had thirty or forty active campaign
workers making a house-to-house
canvas. 1t would be assuming a
good deal to say that none of these
personal talks had anything to do
with the rasult. They probably
won some votes. but | think it was
a good deal nearer 500 than 1000
Mr.. Gomper's speeches did not hurt
Mr.. Littlefeid at all, in fact I think
they did him good. You must re-
member that there was an intensely
bitter local compaign on in Maine,
and this had great deal to do with
cutting down his plurality than any
effort of the Labor party; in fact I
do not think the LABOR opposition
hurt him materially.
There is hardly a question
said Mr.. Sherman, that our immence
majority in the House will be cut
down next session. The Majority
is unnaturally large, in fact ia
makes it unwieldy, but we will have
a good majority and it will Lot be a
scanty one by any means.

who had been convicted of SELL
ing liquor to Indians returned
toAshland yesterday. Mr.. Wood

ney of Kansas, together with his

throughout all the Indian reser-
vations IN the west and have
been buying up the claims of
people who were convicted and
fined for selling ala Indian LIQUOR
The U. S. Supreme Court held
about a year ago that any Indian
who had received his allotment
was a citizen and had all the
rights of a citizen, and therefore
no one could be arrested for sell
ling them liquor.
There are quite a number of
men IN this coanty who have paid
hundreds Of dollars in fines at
Madison in the federal court,
and Atty. WOODBURY. has pur-
chased their claims together
with a large number of small
ones, making about $4,000 in all.
He will file all of his claims with
the Interior department within
the next sixty days and expects
that prompt action will be taken
in allowing the claims. Ashland

No RetrOgreSSiOn.

Has the tide Of reform or radica
lism reached it's high mark? is a
reaction setting in? Is the tide
receding?
There are those who say that such
is the case. They base their con-
clnsion upon the result of the Wis
consin primaries and the election in
Vermont. Senator LaFollette, who
has been paraded as the one leader
of reform, was unsuccessful in his
attempt ID make Mr.. Lenroot his
party's candidate for governor.
Therefore, certain wiseacres say,
the people of Wisconsin are grow
inc tired of reform and a reaction
AIRY movement is beginning. They
are confirmed in this belief by the
outcome of the ell elton in Vermont.
In that state the Stalwart, high
projection, organization Republi-
cans won by the election of a son of
United States Senator Proctor to
the governorship. The primary in
Wisconsin and the election in Yer
mont, say these men, are only
straws which indicate the direction
of the popular winds. And that
means reaction.
But Goes it? Gov. Davidson says
that he is as ardent a reformer as is
Senator LaFollette himself. The
friends Of Mr.. Conner claim that he
has been one of the pillars OF the re-
form movement. Thousands of
voters who have loyalty followed La
Toilette in years past voted for the
Connor- Davidson ticket last Tues
day. Some of the most prominent
of LaFollettes lieutenants in for
mer years worked for Davidson in
the recent campaign.
A careful observer of Wisconsin
political conditions will see that
there has been no reputation of the
progressive movement The peo-
pie of this state are as much in earn
est now in their desire to see public
service corporations under effective
public control as they have ever
been. It is safe to say that there
has been no retrogression among the
people, whatever may be done in the
way of legislation by the men who
will be elected to office ia Novem-
Der.
1t is true that the result of the
primaries was defeat or rebuke,
or whatever term is preferred, for
Senator LaFollette. He was un-
successful in doing what he wanted
and attempted to do. But his fail
ure in this is in no way an indica-
ton of a retrograde movement in
Wisconsin politics. Outsiders rec
kon without sufficient unders tand-
ing of the situation who say that
the beginning of the end has come
in progressive legislation in this
state. Public opinion is often tickle,
but there Is deep conviction behind
public opinion in Wisconsin and
there is nothing to show that the
people are ready to surrender this
conviction milwaukee, Journal.

GoDFREYs TANKARD.
A Seventeenth Century Relic Of thr
Plague In London.


Plague In London.
A curious historical relic Of London
Is the large tankard of solid silver pre-
sented by Charles II. to Sir Edmund
Berry Godfrey for his valuable services
during the plague and the fire of Lon
don, for which he received the honor Of
knighthood in 1866. The tankard,
which is Of plain silver, has a hinged
cover and weighs nearly thirty-six
ounces. It's front is engraved with the
royal arms and the crest Of the recipi-
ent, together with inscriptions in Latin
and engravings Of scenes connected
with the fire, which are still in excel
lent preservation. The engraving Of
the pesthouse men carrying corpses to
the dismal plague pit and that Of the
crowded blocks Of houses surmOunted
by flames are very quaint and curious.
Sir Edmund, who was born in 1921 at
Sellinge, in Kent, was a timber mer-
chant, possessing wharfs at Dowgate
city and at Charing Cross. He prosper
ed, became Justice Of the peace for
Westminster and member Of parlia-
ment for Winchilsea. In history, as no
reader of Macaulay and Green will
need to be told, his name is most IA
nous in connection with his mysterious
murder, which was popularly attribut-
ed to the zeal with which he had devot-
ed himself to unraveling the alleged
popish plot. His body was found in a
ditch near Primrose hill, face down
ward and penetrated by his own sword,
under circumstances which precluded
the idea of suicide or robbery.
The excitement caused by this still
mysterious event is indicated by the
fact that when the funeral procession
left the city, with great pomp and
pageant, for the burial ground Of st.
Observation-Disclosures, it was preceded
by 20 clergy and followed by upward
Cf 1000 persons Of distinction.

grew out Of an old Colombian debt as
sumed by Venezuela as far back as
1894. OF the claims arising from in,
jury to property during revolutions
only 10 per cent were attributed to
the Matos revolt.
A statement given out today by the
New York and Bermudez Co., in refer.
ence to the attempt to shift Venezue
las debts to foreign interests in Ven
ezuela, says:
The impression widely prevails in
the United States, and has been sedul-
ously propagated by the Venezuelan
agents through the public press, that
the cOmpany's property was seized
on account Of its alleged participation
in the Matos revolution. This i'm,
preston is utterly unfounded.
'1n the suit in which the company's
property was seized no mention is
made Of revolution. The revolution
airy suit was brought subsequently AMI
had no connection with the seizure of
the property which has, for the last
two years been held and exploited for
the benefit of President Castro and has
favorites. The suit was designed
simply to divert attention from the
wrongs done to the company, and, if
possible, to preclude diplomatic inter
ference In its behalf.
''As the payments Of money to Gen.
eral MatOs were made under coercion,
the company can not be Justly charg.
ed with any liability. The proposition
TO assess the New York and Bermudez
fN0 with Oun-nuorfnr Of 4ha amount of
the obligations Of the Venezuelan gov
eminent to citizens Of foreign states,
arising out Of a great variety of
causes during the past seventy years,
amounts to an attempt to penalize the
company for acts with which it has
absolutely no connection, and for
which it is not even remotely reSpon,
sible."
