discovered by Seldom Yeager, who
was delivering goods at the house.

CURSE OF MORM0NISM
Declares Wife of Senator Dubois
is Worse Than Was
Slavery.

"Mormonism is a greater curse to
the country than was slavery" de-
clared Mrs. Fred T. Dubois. wife of
the Idaho Senator in an address at
Waugh M. E. church in Washington
on The effect of Mormonism on Edu-
cation" last Tuesday. She said that
should President Roosevelt make a
trip through Southeastern Idaho he
would no longer be willing to declare
that there is nothing in the Mormon
question. Six United States Sena-
tors, she said owe their election to
the influence of the Mormon church.
She criticised the attitude of Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, and Senator
Hopkins, of Illinois, for their atti-
tude In the Smoot case. In clos
ing her address Mrs. Dubois said:
Mormon children in Utah and Idaho
spit upon the American flag"

constructions of municipal law are
invoked against such observance.
The President takes the ground that
the local authorities of San Francis
co have no right to deny Japanese
children the right to attend the pub
lie schools. He further insists that
the Japanese on the coast must be
protected as to life and property.
and finally lays down the principle
that the entire power of the FEEDER
al Government within the limits of
the Constitution would be used
promptly and vigorously to enforce
the observance of our treaty. The
Presidents contention is .irrefraga-
BILE. The Republican party stands
for an Americanism that will keep
America for Americans. but not for
a counterfeit that will permit saw
agery to exploit its cruelties under
the American name.

Kentucky'S New Poet.

The production of readable and
instructive poetry is rare gift and
one that should be encouraged. We
therefore take pleasure in calling at
tention of our readers to neat little
volume of original verse recently
published by VIM. Yancey Erwin, of
Hopkinsville. KY, as a book of a
high order of excellence and one
that will repay the reader many
times for the time spent in its peru
sal. 1t is written in almost every
style Vt verse known to literature,
and treats of a great variety of SUBJ
jects, among which may be mem
toned: Tone, Sentiment, Romance.
Tragedy, Wit, Humor. Satire and
Pathos. The book is very concise,
not crowdel with dry detail, as too
many of our poets seem to think
necessary, but DR.. Erwin drops i'm
mediately into his subject, which he
handles with the stroke of a master
pen.
DR.. Erwin and wife are spending
few days in our city at the resi-
dence of Mr.. 7. H. Bean, where the
book may be obtained.

STRUCK HARD
Are the Whiskey Rectifiers by
Pure Food Commissions
Decision.

Important and far-reaching, effect
ing the business of distilleries, recti-
fiers. blenders and retail dealers of
spirituous liquors as well as the man
ufactures Of food products through
out the entire Union. will be the eff
feet of the recommendations practi-
cally agreed upon by the United
States Food Commission, which con-
cluded its session in Lexington last
Saturday.
While no official announcement
was made by the commission as to
its finding on spiritious liquors, the
investigation of which was the main
object of the commissions visit to
Kentucky, and which is of the ut
most Importance in view of the
whiskey industry. it was learned
from a member of the commission
that four classifications are favored.
These will be designated as "Whis-
KY" Blended Whisky" Com
pounded Whiskey" and Imitation
Whisky" Manufacturers and deal
ers will be required to label all orig
inal packages accordingly.
According to the idea of the COM
mission pure whisky. which has no
foreign ingredients will be called
Whisky" If two brands of pure
whiskey are mixed, this mixture will
be known as blended Whisky"
More than two brands of pure whis-
ky will be designated as Compound
Whisky" Whisky containing neu-
trail spirits of any kind will be label
ed Imitation Whisky"
1t is claimed by those conversant
with the liquor industry that the
recommendation of the commission
is a severe blow to the rectifying
business. as when the consumer be-
comes acquainted with the labels
there will be practically no demand
for the rectified or aduiterated prod
uct.

JUDGE BREATHITT
May Consent to Run for Governor
If Assured That Price Will
Not be Too High.

Hopkinsvillle, KY, Dec. 18-Judge
James Breathitt, who is being so
freely mentioned all over the State
as probable candidate for the Re
publican nomination for Governor,
maintains utter silence as to his in
tentions along this line. Early in
the spring Judge Breathitt was
prominently in the public eye as a
probable candidate. and at that time
publicly stated that he would
not make a race. Since that time,
however, his friends and Republicans
generally. have become so insistent
that it is an admitted fact that he
has at least again taken the matter
under advisement.
In fact, it is generally believed
that Judge Breathitt will consent to
make the race provided he can do SC
without his making an excessive cam
paign contribution. He now holds
the position of county judge of this
county, and aside from the income
derived therefrom he enjoys one of
the largest and most remunerative
law practices in the State.
Should he become a candidate
there is no doubt but that he would
prove a most formidable oppo-
nent. On the stump he would be
almost invincible, for the state hasn't
a better or more eloquent orator
than he is, or one more capable Of
holding his own under any and all
circumstances.

Brigadier General Roger Williams
has been officially notified that the
Kentucky State Guard will go to

will mobilize in Lexington.
This announcement will be of much
interest to the Ohio county boys who

of the plans have yet been given
out. but it is quite certain that the

The President and Japan.

The President has taken the cor
rect stand on the Japanese-Califor-
MIA problem. The State is fully res
pected in its rights, but no State is
above the National Constitution.
The treaty-making power is, by the
Constitution. vested in the President
with the Senate. 1t takes a two
thirds vote to ratify a treaty enter
ed into by the President.
In Senate of ninety members it
takes the votes of sixty to ratify a
treaty. A Senatorial vote of such
proportions may be fairly taken to
represent a decisive majority of the
thinking. power of the nation. Our
treaty with Japan. which guarantees
to japanese residents everywhere in
the Union full and perfect protec-
ton for their persons and property;
duly ratified by the Senate, became
upon that ratification part Of the

COAL CAR SHORTAGE
Has Become Alarming, in
Western Kentucky.
S-Operators Hold Meeting with
Traffic Managers of the ]. c.
without Apparent Result.

In view OF the shortage OF cars
in the Western Kentucky coal fields
and a suspicion that it may not all
be due to an actual shortage OF cars.
a meeting has been held between
representatives Of the Western Ken
lucky coal operators and F, II. Har-
wood, traffic manager af the Illinois
Central.
Coal operators say that there is
plenty Of coal ready to be moved,
but that it is impossible to get cars
to handle it. The operators are
afraid to ask help from the commits
sion. because of the possibility that
it might be held against them by the
railroads hereafter. They are at the
Smercy of the railroads and they
know il. Some of them say that
there are plenty of cars. but that all
are being sent to the Southern Hin
ois fields. II is believed that if con-
ditions are not relieved. trains haul
ing coal for the railroads will be
raided and unloaded in number OF
towns.
Indications are that the railroad
commission will take a hand. Chair
man C. C. McChord and commission
er Med. Ferguson have been mys-
teriously moving around for some
DAYS past and it is believed that
they have been gathering Informal
ton against the railroads. Chair
man McChord has refused to make
a statement, but it is known that he
has recently been in communication
with a member of the interstate
commerce commission relative to
the matter. 1t is pointed out by
operators that plenty Of cars were
furnished in the East Tennessee coal
|. fields after complaint had been made
and the commission in that state
had begun its sittings.
Later developments are to the et-
feet that the Interstate Commerce
Commission will settle the car short
age. Mr.. C. C. McChord. the Ken
lucky Railroad Commissioner, has
been notified by Chairman Harlan
Of the Commerce Commission, to APP
pear to-day before that body at
Chicago and bring witnesses to fur
nish information regarding the situ-
alton in Western Kentucky. 1t will
be several days before it is known
what action that body will take.
