Ladies who take so much pleasure in
the sIIken-coated dokgies which lie in
fdleness IN their laps. and surround
them with love and pride, may rejoice
for the canine race has once more shown
it's superiority and proved the truth Of
the Turkish proverb: THE more know
OF men the more I love dogs"
These fine animals have suddenly be-
come the protectors OF society At a
competition which has just been held
at Roubaix they have shown themselves
the most fe thful and most intelligent
auxiliaries 70 the police force.
It was a lady-Mme. de Bruycker, Of
Brussels, who carried OF the honOrs OF
the day. for she herself with her dog
came successfully out OF a struggle with
a man representing a typical loW-down

PARIS. Aug. 3.-Ponuclans, like wo-
men, have their little secrets. and hav-
ing no beauty, they have TO rely upon
these TO draw attention TO themselves
NJ Euenne, ex-minister OF war ana vice
president uf the chamber Of deputies
is typical instance Of this resemblance.
During the last few weeks his name
and his personality have been on every
ones tongue and have engaged the
whole public attention of Europe. Quite
Unexpectedly he appears at Kiel on a
visit 10 Emperor William, and then at
Berlin on a visit to the imperial chan
cellor.
What does he want? Doubtless he has
gone 20 arrange some treaty or 10 ar
rive at some entente, and public opin-
ion gets excited in rs search to eluci-
date the problem. But now suddenly
again the rumor is spread and con-
firmed that NJ Euenne was not sent 10
lIiel by the President OF the republic
nor by his ministers. but that he went
OF his own accord and in company with
his friend. the Prince Of Monaco, and
that NJ. Etienne gave himself the airs
Of a political negotiator TO which he had
no earthly right.

famous decree which has always been
known as the decree OF Messidor tan

reasonable precedence among the differ

Naturally the cardinals and bishops
were In the first rank; then cane the
military chiefs and then the civil ad-
ministrators, such as projects ano dep
uty projects. So we had fine govern
mental equilibrium. which for more than
100 years was the admiration Of the
world.
Having no official aristocracy, France,

a precedence Of rank which followed
the rules OF good sense. But this was

In more than one Of them over seventy
per cent Of the applicants for enlistment
had to be rejected as physically unfit. a
man unfit to fight the battles OF his country
in war, is unfit to fight its industrial battles
in peace.
And the same startling deterioration in
physical strength and industrial efficiency
is going on in this country in all the great
cities among the working people.
As we face the future, we face the COM
petition of the world.
No longer do we face only the races
who have been our competitors in the past
We face to-day the swarlning millions Of
Asia, who are going into the field Of
manufacturing as our competitors.
They are led by Japan in this great
awakening, and as Japan has shown the
physical stamina OF her people, as well as
her genius in war, so will she show that
same genius and physical stamina in the
strenuous competition in the industrial
battles of the world.
China will follow the lead of Japan with
ten workers standing ready to be enlisted
in her industrial army to every one worker
that Japan can enlist.
And Japan and China combined can
furnish an industrial army so huge that it
will Outnumber ours more than five to one
What are we going to do about it? Are
we going to continue to pile our people up
in cities where our workers will degenerate
and sink lower and lower in the industrial
scale from generation to generation?
Or will we stop where we are and go
no farther in our industrial folly of en-
deavoring to conduct manufacturing in
dustries in the midst of huge aggregations
of humanity so compaCted that space is
not left for the proper living of human
life?
Let US stop our effort to make our big
cities bigger.
It is said that trade follows the flag
Whether that be 50 or not, we do know
that workmen follow the factory. And if
the factory be located where there is room
for the workman to live as the Creator
intended man should live in the midst
Of fresh air and sunshine and trees and
green grass and in the sight of the fields,
the workingman seeking employment will
seek it there.
The location of the industries in the
suburbs, or in the small city, or the town
or village where there is ample space for
factory acres and for trackage facilities
and for homes for the workingmcn, will
not only help to relieve the undue and
unnatural pressure upon the terminal facil-
tiles Of the great cities, but it will raise up
for future generations a strong and healthy
race Of workers, who will hold their own
against the world in the industrial war Of
the races.
This movement in behalf Of the small
towns should not be carried out in narrow,
competitive spirit. The civic and com
mercial organizations in every small city
and town and village should be united and
affiliated, through the American League of
Association, for organized and concerted
effort to bring about a wider distribution
OF population and industry.

Judge Cantrill Asked To Resign

Editor w. P. Walton, Of the Ken
tucy State Journal, who has been a
lifelong friend and supporter of Judge
James E. Cantrill, in an editorial in
his paper of yesterday calls upon the
Scott county jurist to resign as a mem
Der Of the Court Of Appeals.
The Bourbon News contained an
editorial on this subject over year
ago, claiming that Judge Cantrill was
only furnishing Republican campaign
literature by remaining on the bench
when incapacitated. We, too, have al
ways been for Judge Cantriil, but if ne
still refuses to resign. his family
should force him to for the sake Of the
party that has honored him for years.
We believe that if Judge Cantrill
was at himself he would not hesitate
for moment to vacate the bench. Ii
ne was poor man there might be
some excuse for him drawing IS, 900 2
year for doing absolutely nothing. but
being a man of wealth and to still re
fuse to resign, when every honest and
true Democrat knows it is iniuring the
party more than any other one thing
at this time, looks as if his honorable
political career will have a close that
should be anything else but one Of thi.
| kind.

Death Has Taken Away Mrs
William McEiniey.

Mrs. William Mckinley died at :C5
o'clock Sunday afternoon. The transi-
ton from life to death was so peaceful
and gradual that it was with difficulty
that the vigilant physicians and attend
ants noted when dissolution came.
There was no struggle, no pain.
Mrs. Mckinley never knew of the
efforts made for days to prolong her
life, nor of the solicitous hope against
hope, of her sister and other relatives
and friends. for her recovery.
Mrs. McKinley's last words were fer
death. An attendant said Sunday
night:
Mrs. Mckinley would say, "Why
should | linger?' Please, God. if it
be thy will. why defer it?' She would
also say. He is gone and life is dark
to me now Other kindred express
sions fell from her lips.

of that preparation.
The court refused to grant the con-

to peri~.t G. A. Bowersox to act as one
of the counsel for the state and to as
sist the county attorney. and Albrool
& Lundy and Judge Wade for the de-
PENDANT made objections to this move
on the ground that the state had not
stated that they expected to have
Judge BowersoX as one of the counsel

granted and Mr.. Bowersox was adj
