Fifth State Development Convention

The Executive Committee of the
State Development Association met in
Louisville Monday and set October 10,
II, and 18th, 1906 as the time of the
Fifth State Development Convention at
Winchester. Active preparations have
been begun in Winchester for the Con-
vention aud will be pushed from now
on until the meeting in October. 1t
promises to be the largest and most
important gathering of the year in the
state. A plan for permanent organ
ization will be presented to the Con-
vention for adoption, which it is be-
lieved will make the Association a
stronger organization and give it great
er power toward carrying out its OBJ
jects.
Kentucky is far behind what it can
be in its position as an industrial and
commercial state, its resources having
been neglected and its commercial and
manufacturing advantages overlooked.
The State Development movement
was started by business men with the
patriotic desire to see the State forge
ahead and grow TO be among the first
Of states in her industrial Importance.
During the four years of its exis-
tance, the Association has done much
good along the line Of advocating need
ed commercial legislation, and the
shaping Of policies that have helped
our manufacturing and other business
interests.
Much Of interest to the business peo-
pie Of the State will be discussed at
the Convention at Winchester, and
plans mapped out for its work. Speak
ers Of national reputation and special
lists on particular subjects of agricul-
ture, mining, manufacturing ETC., will
address the Convention.
Delegates to the Convention will be
named by the County Judge of each
county, mayor Of each city, and by
each commercial club organization.
Anyone who wishes to attend the
Convention can be appointed a dele
gate direct upon application to the Sec
retary Of the Convention. Last year
at Louisville about 500 delegates were
present. and some so counties Of the
State represented by business men Of
the county.
We hope that some Of the most ac-
tive and best business men Of this
county will go as delegates to the con-
vention, and will go prepred to thor
oughly present our resources. Indus
tries, products and etc, and to be able
to tell what we need in the way Of in
dustrial development and have to offer
to investors and prospective citizens.
These matters should be looked into
and carefully prepared statement
made for use at the Convention.
Judge ]. II. Denton. Of Winchester.
was elected Vice Chairman Of the ex-
ecutive Committee. and p. j. Altizer.
.of Winchester. is Secretary of the
Convention.

REFRESH YOUR MEMORIES
We Fully Appreciate the Desperate
Condition that Existed In The
Land Of Plenty Those Years
WHAT CAUSED THIS CONDITION
The United States is on the eve of
a contest within herself of
Free Trade w prntnctinn

The United States is on the eve of
contest within herself Of
Free Trade VS. Protection.
For the benefit of the sober hard
working farmers of Crittenden and
adjoining counties, we ask do you want
to return to the last era of Democratic
rule from 1893 to 1897? Do you re-
member those years? If you do not,
refresh your memories. Why should
you be for protection OF against pro.
lection?
Who said tweedIe-dee? Who said
tweedle-dum? Do we need protection
or do we not need protection?
To the average man the observation
Of Josiah Frank Fritts would be very
appropriate, Mr. Fritts made a few
vigorous remarks to our friend and
fellow citizen, Charles Eugene Doss,
and everybody in the first district
knows what 1t was.
But Mr.. Average man cannot shift
this responsibility. He will vote one
way or the other.
Listen at the words Of Senator Vest
speaking in the United States Senate
May 25. 1897.
No more consistent and courageous
Democrat in the Senate at that time
than Vest of Missouri.
For himself and his Democratic
colleagues, he said:
1--WE fully appreciate the desperate
condition Of the country. We know
how many ruined homes, how many
broken hearts, how many blasted
hopes, now surround the Congress Of
the United States, and IL prosperity
can come from any source, even from
our political opponents, we shall well
come Il; and not only welcome It, but
bless the moment in which il comes "
What caused this desperate con-
dition? Was il the effort to rob the
country Of its protective tariff?
Senator Vest continued:
"My State is large agricultural
State-one Of the largest in the Union.
In my life, now verging upon three
score years and ten, | have never
seen in that land Of plenty such ruin
and depression as exists today"
Did prosperity return under Repub-
lican rule?
Listen at Senator Bate, of Tennessee,
an Ex-Confederate soldier who declar-
ed July 9th. 1897
There comes on the wind from
every section Of the country the wall
Of an impoverished people"
Listen TO n Kentucky son, Mr..
David Highbaugh Smith, who said on
March Slst, 1897
"Stagnation and depression rule with
despotic sway in every department Of
business life. Able, enterprising and
cautious men have been swept into the
vortex Of hopeless and irretrievable
insolvency. Want and penury arc
visible in the faces Of countless thous.
ands. who wander up and down the
streets Of the great metropolitan cities
in search Of employment that cannot
be had at any price, and in number.
less homes, erstwhile radiant with the
glow Of success and contentment.
there is now the somber hues Of dis.
contentment and destitution."
DO Cnttenden county farmers want
to return to the days Of 1893 TO 1897?

About Happy Marriages.


About Happy Marriages.
Marriage is an institution OF the
state; therefore she should put Il out
Of the bonds of possibility that people
can marry each other in two days or
week. How many marriages would
be broken of If the state required a
three years engagement before people
are married. After all, II woman
wants to become a nun In two months,
no convent In the world will accept
her. She must be a novice for two or
three years. During that time she has
to make an examination Of her CON
science every day and to find out II
she has a vocation for a nun. But
women and men marry without the
slightest preparation, without the
slightest thought of the future, while
Dame Nature laughs at her most odd
pairings. She wants her world peopled
That is her part. The men and women
who are iii suited to each other are not
her affair.
Girls and boys at school should be
taught to look upon marriage as the
most beautiful, the happiest. the most
desirable and the most possible thing
in the world. Boys should be taught
to keep their minds and their bodies
pure for the state which they will
probably enter and to have a sense of
protection and loyalty to girls, and
girls should be taught industry, self
sacrifice and responsibility for the mar
rled state.-Mrs. T. p. OConnor in

With his tongue and the grePter part
of it's roots on the left side of his
mouth cut from his head by sur

and stage manager of the Bush Tenn.

songs at st. Joseph's hospital Chi

Five weeks ago, Powers underwent
one of the most dangerous operations
ever performed by DIR. Nicholas Senu,
when cancer, caused by excessive
smoking, was removed. ln five weeks
more he expects to be engaged by the
theatrical profession and to be able to
talk as well as when he had tongue.
1t is possible even that Power will be
able to go on again rs an actor, but
he says that he is not going to pin
his hopes too high and will be satisfied
to resume his work as stage director.
At the hospital, Power went through
