Up To The Army.

AT last it has been decided to give
the work of constructing the Panama
Canal into the hands of the United
States army. Having decided in the
first place to construct canal along
route admittedly inferior to the Mica
raugua route, it seems rather strange
that the work was not Immediately
given into the hands of the army en-
gineers. They know what their duty
is. and they have been trained to per-
form their duty regardless of outside
pressure or interests. The American
army contains some of the finest er-
gineers in the world. civil and construc-
tion. And while the American army
may be subject to criticism along Ger.
tain lines. it will have 10 be admitted
that up TO date it has not failed to per-
form satisfactorily every task given
into its charge. Now that Uncle
Sans uniformed engineers. have taken
hold of the canal work there comes a
faint CLEAN Of hope that the canal will
be completed in time for cur childrcn's
children to visit the isthmus ard see
the ships 80 through.

Representing Providence.

Mr.. Rockefeller it is said considers
himself "a trustee to God for all his
great wealth." Baer represents Provi-
dence in the coal fields, where, by the
way, it is announced that raise IN the
price of coal is imminent, and it only
remains for Armour or some other big
packer to say that he is the Lords rep
resentative in the provision business.
If We could only understand that such
people as Rockefeller and Baer are
constantly in the divine care and under
divine guidance, we should know where
to place the blame when the price of
necessaries goes up another notch. AS
it is now, we blame these gentlemen,
when according to their own incontro-
vertible statements they are acting
only in representative capacity and
therefore presumably under orders.
They seem to be getting well paid for
il, but tEa!-is mere detail.

How To Pronounce Missouri.

A concurrent resolution has been in
troGuced IL the Missouri legislature
providing Tor the proper pronunciation
OF the name Missouri. The follow
ing section explains just how it should
be pronounced: THAT the only true
pronunciation Of the name Of the state
in the opinion of this body is that re-
ceived from the native Indians, and
that it should be pronounced in three
syllables, accented on the second sylIa
bic. The vowel in the first syllable in
short 81, in the second syllable lcng
double 90 70 or oo). in the third short
l. s. in the two syllables in which it
occurs has the sound of ''s' and not ~.
1t will be remembered that twenty-five
years ago the legislature of Arkansas
decided that the name of that state
should be pronounced Ar-kan-saw.

The Mountain Farce.

The Hargis trial at Jackson last week
was but another farce, behind bayonets
too. with one of Gov. Beckham's pet
special judges presiding. Judge Carnes
directed the attorneys to consult ard
argee on place for the trial. They
could not agree, anyone OF which would
be agreeable to the prosecution. He
wanted to take it entirely away from
any Of the mountain counties. This did
not suit the defense. Judge or Gar
Carnes then took the bit in his teeth
and named Elliott county as the county
for the trial. There is probably no
county in the State as hard to pet to.
1t is ar least twenty 1--WE miles to the
nearest railroad; there is not foot of
telegraph wire in the county and cnly
one struggling telepht ne wire running
to Morehead, Rowan county.
The long suffering public has become
weary of these mock trials, and the
Governor may as well pardon the Har-
gis gang and be done with what has
been a farce from the beginning.

The Republican Legislature in Wis
cOnsin has adopted a resolution urging
the President to call special seSison
for the purpose of revising the tariff.
We are told, however. that the Presi-
dent has held a consultation with
Speaker Cannon whose good judgment
he relies upon as ne d, es upon that of
few public men,"
If the President relies On "Uncle
joe in this particular it is "alI up
with the tariff revisionists in the Re-
publican party. There will be no
special session. But it must be plain
to everyone that tariff reform" is in
the air today. For instance. ten of the
eleven Republican representatives from
Wisconsin have declared themselves in
favor of revision. The Massachusetts,
petition to the President was signed by
Guild, the Republican Governor and
222 out of go members of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature. Only Is of these
are Democrats. Even the New York
Tribune editorially confesses 1.-THE Dig

And wonder of wonders, Secretary

Getting Together.

The tobacco growers all over the
state are forming one of the strongest
and most satisfactory organizations
ever accomplished IN Kentucky. In
many localities the effects have already
been felt in better prices for the weed.
Bourbon county is progressing nicely
in the move, and has large and sub
stantial organization. Every class Of
business men except the farmers are
thoroughly organizedand why they have
put it off so long is hard to understand.
The farmers are the backbone of the
country. and, if they will only organize
and stand together, it will not be long
before they will have the world by the
tail. with Gown-hill pull. The News
advises every farmer, both large and
small, to attend every meeting called
for the farmers, as in this way only
can they ever be enabled to hold out
for decent prices for their products and
be masters instead of servants.

Railroad Taxation.

The recent Ceoision Of the United
States Supreme Court, affirming the
validity of the increased taxation of
railroads in Nebraska, is a very impor-
tant one. The Hartman controlled
Union Pacific through its attorneys
claimed the State Board of Elalization
was coerced in making the great in
crease = nearly double - by political
clamor and that the assessment was
fraudulent. The Court, through JUS
tice Holmes who delivered the opinion,
took occasion to say that the charge of
fraud unproven was almost enough to
throw the case out of court, and that
the cross-examination of the State
Treasury and the members of the board
by the. railroad attorneys as wholly
improper and going beyond the proprie-
ties. The fact is the arrogant rail-
roads thought they, owned the State of
Nebraska, as they do mary states as
far as railroad taxation is concerned,
but finding the officials Of the State not
as tractable as heretofore undertook to
browbeat them in true Hartman style.
But times are changed and the people
have awakened to the injustice and cor
ruption they have suffered and this is
acting as spur on even the sluggish
Republican officeholders to represent
the people instead of as heretofore be-
ing but tools Of the railroads.

The Price OF Speed.

The most disastrous railroad wrecks
OF this year were due to excessive
speed. The Harlem wreck on the New
York Central railroad was caused by
the spreading of rail beneath train
travelling at the rate of so miles an
hour. In this wreck % persons were
killed and two scores injured. The
,Iohnstown wreck on the Pennsylvania
railroad was due to the breaking of
some part OF the mechanism of the
locomotive under the great strain of
the speed Of 70 miles per hour. In this
wreck three score persons were more
or less injured. Thus the price of
speed in these two instances has been
human life and injury.
Railroad companies Ewould not run
fast trains unless there was a demand
for them. There would be no demand
for speed unless men and women were
forced by the competition of business,
to make the mcst of every moment at
their disposal. But it would seem that
persons with due appreciation of the
risks to be run, would hesitate to force
tle railroad companies TO cut down
schedules to the point where engineer
ing calculation could not guarantee
safety. The whole matter is resolved
down to one question: Are people will
ing to pay the price? / they are, the
railroads cannot be wholly 10 blame TO
the accidents that happen.

First Duty of Good Citizens.
DO you believe In your OWN town and
community? IL yo1 do, what 90 you dc
for your own town and community:
1t D,ay be that you have observed a
gradual falling OF ia business. Things
have not been going along at the lively
rate which seems to be justified by the
present general prosperity. Expert stat
iSeictians and close observers declare
that never before has the United States
been SO generally prosperous as it is
at this InO:ncat.
How does year oT3 home place
stack up with this declaration: Are
You and your neighbers getting y0nr
share OF the prosperity: ii not,
there's reaSon.'' as a certain adycr-
tiSer says
What is the Reason:
y recent writer ON the revival o. tile
local spirit as the only remedy against
the ruin of the small town and the
overgTowth of the big city presents
some pertinent opinions on this topic.
Read what Richart! Hamilton Byrd
says ;nent the lack of confidence found
il many communities the lack OF a
belief i'll your own honle place:
The Mail Order Business.
1T is that lack of confidence. or. per-
. kAt fnf oh or L.
familiar things. which has enabled the
mail order business to gain such head
way in the rural districts.
1t is recognized fact that the re-
tail business Of the country village
and the large towns, for that matter.
Is being destroyed. Year by year the

what is the matter:

The growth of this octopus has been
phenomenal. From Il. iclIy-like idea.
