Climate Too Severe for Him.

Continuing, Senator Warren said of
Myendorff:
In accordance with the request, l
some months afterward informed him
that l expected to be in Denver a few
days later, sending him the date. He
called at my hotel, asking my help to
get him promotion to the position of
special agent in charge of a place in
the consular service, because neither
his work nor the climate of Colorado
entirely agreed with him; that the al
titude there made him nervous, etc.
He based his request to me on the
grounds of his civil war record, his
friendship for my friends, Mark Hanna,
Elmer Dover and others. He appealed
strongly to my sympathy, and l con-
scented to mention his ase to his su-
periors.
Had Irregular Coal Claims.
"He then volunteered the information
that he had a lot of irregular N lille,
gal coal claim cases made by partles
in Colorado for land in Wyoming, said
to be in the interest of the Union Pa
cific Coal company. He asked my ad
vice how to proceed. l suggested thai
he follow the law and his instructions

Catarrh being a constitutional dis

PROMPT WORK NEEDED.

The Commercial Club and City
Council should both take some action
to counterfeit the bad effects of the
prosecution of the business enter
prises and educational institutions of
the city by Commemorative Attor-
noy Smith, for alleged violations by
them of certain legal technicalities
before they had been in this State
long enough to become familiar
with Kentucky laws. The Home
Telephone Company is one of the en-
terprises that has been in Hopkins
Vile only about eighteen months.
Its promoters came from Ohio and
have invested large capital here and
elsewhere in this State. They de.
serve encouragement rather than
such prosecution as Mr.. Smith has
inaugurated. Still worse is the case
of Lcckyear's Business College, which
opened here a year ago branch of
its main College at Evansville, Ind.
1t came here to supply a need of the
city, being cordially welcomed by our
people, and yet before it has been
here year il is sued for failing to
put the word incorporated" on it's
sign. Such treatment of one of our
edl cational institutions is a reflection
upon the whole community. These
suits, it so happened, were filed the
very week that our people were try
ing to get other large corporations
to invest their money in Hopkins
vile, and our people feel justly in
dignant at this unexpected obstacle
thrown in the way of building up
Greater HOpkinsville." What is
the use of cxempting new enter
prises from taxation and inviting
them to Hor&insville If they are to
be welcomed with a broadside of
litigation, designed to eXtort money
in the name of the State, when only
$l2 out of every 500 finds its way
into the public treasury Resolu-
tons should at once be adopted en-
treating Mr.. Smith to refrain from
this kin | of pro &C tion of the enter
priseS shat may be induced to come
to Kentucky and especially to our
own city. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Smith can be induced to dismiss the
suits that are calculated to do our
city so great harm.

The Cotton Mill Stock Will
All BE Sold in a
Jiffy.s
OUTSIDERS ANXIOUS.
Mr.. Clair Is Expected Here
For a. Conference
Tomorrow.

Whether or not all people may
want to see the great cotton mill
plant located here, it seems an as
sured fact.
From the talk to be heardl at al
most every street corner and in
offices, the project seems 60 have
leaped beyond the grounds of proba-
bility and has about landed in the
realm of certainty. Men who were
supposed TO be liable to regard the
mills as unworthy Of consideration
have openly expressed themselves as
for it, and many who are able have
signified their desire to put some of
their money into it. Applications
for stock have been made from
parties outside, and some of our
local capitalists will invest IN 'blocks
of stock. -----:s: SA -... .,.
The committee is moving along
steadily but quietly, not doing a
great deal of talking. but consider
ing carefully every phase of the
question, and when it does speak
there will be no uncertain ring in
what it says. These men, appointed
by Dr. Jackson, the President Of the
Commercial Club, are gentlemen in
whom onr people have the utmost
confidence, and what they may give
out to the public in few days may
be relied upon as being just what
they represent it to be.
In our last issue we laid before
our readers what had been. said by
some of our leading business men,
believing that pro and con opinions
were due everyone. We can posi-
lively say. as then stated, we are not
setting ourselves up as advisers on.
such questions. Our business is to
give the news and not play the role
of exploiter. So far as we can see
there is no reason why this great
enterprise should not meet with
the encouragement the prime NOV
ers claim it should. On it's face it
seems just one Of the great things
that Hopkinsville needs at this point
in her history. If the city is ever to
be what we hope it will, this will be
another great step in the attain
ment of other industries to come
after it. Why should we not have a
large wooden mill as we'll as a cotton
mill? Logically this would be the
very next thing to follow.
We understand that Mr.. Clair will
be in the city tomorrow for another
He is not a man to
chase shadows or toy with bubbles.
His business is to look after the in
terest of the |. c. the greatest
railroad, corporation in this country.
He is out after business, and being
a business man, has perception
to know this city has men of
business capacity. So rest assured
that if Mr.. Clair and the committee
arrive at thorough understanding
something is going to happen.
