THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message to Congress- parts of
which are published on inside page is one which
honest and thoughtful men will read with 10Y and which
will them to the future of the country AS
to be expected of him. the new laws he urges are
not those he thinks will give relief for time from our
business troubles but those that will not only SLOWLY
cure present hard times but will prevent any like
them from coming again
The President goes to the root of the matter and
shows the grub that eating the life of our nation
al prosperity. 1t is speculation and the quick making
OF money by rich the expense of the rest of US
the watering of stocks, and Imitation of values He
sets out to these things And he does not say
1--WE will prop the tree up that it will look WE'LL but
he says, eve will dig up the grub even tho the tree
suffers little from doing it, because in that
way will make possible for the tree to go on and
grow to the height it should reach.
That is the attitude of mantle kind of
man the American people proud of. The remedy
he suggests will great opposition 1t is that the
Federal Government take control of the great corpora
tons and that laws good for the whole nation are
enforced that stock issued unless there is value to
pay for it, that banks honestly managed and that
one state does not give corporation the right steal
from other states for share OF the loot some are now
doing The plan will need much work. and there will
be fight all the way thru by men who know how to
make the reasons look good and the best bad but
in the end, either the Presidents plan, or one that
accomplishes the same thing, will be adopted
In the meanwhile, the President is risking his re-
putaton and his popularity In keeping up his fight on
the trusts and awess corporations he has made likely
that of the rich thieves will try bring back hard
times to the people of from the reforms. If
this happens, Will need the support of all the who
CAN straight help the president in his fsht for
all Of rs. Every should read the message to see
what the president does want and then should decide
to stand by him thru thick and thin no matter what
smooth stories his enemies may tell

day, and the chances now seem TO be
that he will be defeated. He has only
to lose the votes Of four Democrats
to lose his chance, and two of these
have already been reported as hav-
ing decided to vote against him.
There is now no doubt. If there ever
has been, that ex-Gov. Bradley viii be
the Republican nominee. Forty-six OF
the Republican legislators are pledg-
ed to him.
The President has decided to APP
point Maurice Calvin Collector of IN
ternal Revenue at Covington. The
Presidents attention was called to MIR
Calvin by Chairman Ernst. and the
appointment will strengthen the latter
in the state.
The Republicans have won another
point in their contest Of the election
at Lexington. The Democrats de-
INJURED to the petition OF the Republi-
cans. but the judge ruled them CHS,
and the case viii now go to 10 the

to have been ashamed of his action.
None of the prison authorities would
tell who the men were.
The oil prospectors in Indiana are
coming south as the northern fields
are giving out. and are flocking into
Knox, Pike, Sullivan and Gibson count
les OF that state which fringe the
Ohio river. 1t seems likely that in a
few years Louisville may become one
of the greatest oil markets in this
country.
The movement in this state for a
new home for the governor, to take
the place OF the ramshackie old build
ing which has been used at Frankfort
for 10 years, is gaining strength and
1t is likely that an Appropriation Will
be made either during the coming
session Of the Legislature or during
the next one.

aging Testimony Yet introduced.
The trial of Caleb Powers is now

tain that it has no new evidence

has some new and startling evidence

been selected is fairer TO him than
any other that has tried him. and
while there has been some fault
found with some Of the judges rullngs
there is every sign that this trial will
be a pretty fair one.

his candidacy last week The sena-

trouble for Mr. Tafi in his home state

LOCAL OPTION FIGHT WON

All right minded people win be glad
10 know that the attempt OF the sal
Don keepers Of Richmond and their
friends to have another election held
on local option ihas finally been de-
feated. Judge Turpiu on Monday dis
missed their petition for such an cleo
tion in Richmond holding that as the
city voted dry last March none could
lcfally be held there for three years
from that time.
The separate petition for county
vote Judge Turpin also held to be fat
all, defective. because, while in The
county as a whole over 25 per cent OF
the voters had petitioned, In two pre-
cincts less than the % per cent had
signed.
This means that. under the law. no
further attempt can be made by the
VETS" TO reopen the saloons in Rich
mend for three years. The last petit
ton was defeated by Mayor Woods,
who. published the names. and led o
many people to remove their names
that the petition was Withdrawn.
