1l9 counties in the State. eighty-fve al
ready have adopted local option laws. and
not a drop of Kentucky's famous product
IS sold in a one of them. The law. he
declares, is rigidly enforced. because it is
backed by the public opinion in those COM
munities where it has been adopted. Mr.
Drewry does not venture 70 predict where
or when the drying-up process will stop,
and he is proud TO boast that Kentucky
is now the most abstemious State in the
Union. He is also proud to boast that
Kentucky continues to increase it's output
of the finest whisky in the world, which
is still clamored for by mankind from
pole 10 pole. and finds ready sale in all
the haunts Of men except those in eighty
five counties Of the State of its manufac-
ture.

II Is little short Of the irony Of fate
that J. Ralph Burton, the erstwhiIe Kan
5as senator who is now about to under
go a term OF penal servitude for vio-
lating a law OF Congress which. as a
member Of the Senate he was sworn to
respect, was tried, convicted. and sen
fenced IN a court presided over by life
long friend. Judge Willis Van de Venter,
who presided at the second trial of the
disgraced senator, Is an alumnus Of De-
paw University. which Indiana seat Of
learning is BUrton's alma mater. and
where he Won the oratoricaI honors Of
his class Although there are several
years difference in the ages Of the two
men, they entered the university about
the same time. and there formed a friend
ship which ripened into q bond Of affec-
ton. When Burton came 10 the Senate
he found his old college friend living in
Washington as solicitor of the Interior
Department At the mention Of Van de
FenteT's name for promotion TO the Fed
eral bench nobody rejOiced more than the
then Senator Burton, and in spite OF the
fact that Van de Fenter was a resident
Of Wyoming the Kansas senator insisted
upon the privilege Of moving in executive
session Of the Senate the immediate con-
firmatiOu Of the nomination. The second
trial Of the Burton case fell 70 Judce

GREETINGS TO THE HERALD.

From the Dallas News.
In its first number The Washington
Herald gives fair promise Of becoming
one Of the great newspapers of this
country. It's editor IS Mr.. Scott Bone,
who by his achievements in Washington,
has put himself In the front rank OF
American journalists, The fact that he
is it's editor is a guaranty that The
Herald will be a clean newspaper, and
bright without being sensational The
Herald is to be independent. It remarks
in it's "foTword" that, having no axes
to grind, political or otherwise, there vii!
be no partisan politics in either its news
or editorial pages. Its opinions may
not be shared by its readers always. but
a policy Of fair dealing will emphasize
the papers independence in the best
meaning Of the term" That is the spirit
Of enlightened journalism, and If guided
always by that spirit there can be little
doubt that The Herald Will win popular
lty and influence.

GaIIinger's Varied Distinctions.


a study Of the biographies and records
OF the members Of the Senate l5voaIs the
interesting fact that Of the ninety men
VINO wear the toga none Of them Ias
claim TO so varied distinctions as has the
Hon. Jacob Gallinger, Of New Hampsrl.
Undoubtedly his highest claim 10 fame
is that in all the history Of New HanIp-
shire, which was one Of the original tnu-
teen States he is the only man who has
been elected 10 three consecutive terms in
the Senate. His erstwhile distinguished
colleague and implacable foe. the lion.
William Eaton Chandler. served the
greater part Of three terms, but one Of
these was one appointment of the GOV
erncr. Senator Gallinger is an expert
printer, having mastered the art pee
servative Of all arts as d boy. and fol-
lowed it for many years. BY profession
he is a physician and the ouiy member
or that profession In the Senate ne had
large practice before he drifted into
politics, and frequently now is called
upon 20 relieve emergency cases If sick
ness or accident at the Sendt, wing ~
the Capitol. He is the only member Of
the Senate who was born in Canada
though this distinction was not monopa-
LIED by him until Senator Mcmillan 90
Michigan died. Nearly every measure
that has passed Congress for years that
has for its object the protection Of horses
and other dumb animals from cruelty
has Mr.. Gallinger's name attached as
author.

Uncle sam our army would be relieved
Of ill-fitting trousers that make the life of
the eavalryman anything but ioy, be-
cause his trousers are too tight In the

Calling People to Church.

some years ago I came to little place
called .Fordon, on the wolds between
Nation and Bridlington. It was a
primitive place. quite cut of from the
world, the few Inhabitants hardly
knowing the road over the hilltop to
the next place northward. The d.
minutive building whichN serves az a
church is built near the brow Of the
hill. 1t has no tower, bell turret or.
bell cot. On inquiry I found that 1t
had no bell. The parson came over
on horseback now and then from a
neighboring parish, tied up his horse
outside the church, opened the door,
put on his surplice and then walked to
the top Of the hill. and cracked his whip
