COURTS To DECIDE

Whole RuleS--Law Reads
AmbiguonSly.

Greensboro. KY, April 24.-In spite
of the majority of 442 against prohi-
bition in the city of Greensboro, there
is a question in some quarters as to
whether greensboro went wet" or
dry" in Saturdays local option cleo
ton. 1t was generally understood to-
day and specifically stated by some of
their numbers, that the Prohibition
people will make an attempt to have
the court hold that the licensing of
saloons in Owensboro is prohibited by
the result of the election in the county
as a whole.
The county as whole went dry" by
over 1900 votes. The contention will
be based primarily on a single SEN
tence of the County Unit law, or, gen.
orally speaking, on the rather ambigu-
Gus nature of this amendatory act of
the Legislature of 1906-"when an
election is held in an entire county
and a majority of the legal votes cast
at said election are against the sale
of intoxicating liquors, then it shall
not be lawful to sell, barter or loan
such liquors in any portion of the law
on which the Prohibitionists will prin-
cipally rest their case.

GOVERNMENT To PAY
EXPENSE OF ELECTIONS.
President Proposes That All Con-
tributi0nS be Cut Off and
Government Foot Bill.
Especial to The REPUBLICAN,

Washington, d. c. April 24.-Those
who have been looking for a fresh
sensation can rest quite satisfied. They
have it in the proposition the Presi-
dent has advanced to cut off all cleo
ton contributions and have the le-
climate election expenses of all par
ties paid by the National government.
This might raise a wall from the anti
paternalists, for 1t would be pater-
nalism of sort, in fact of the most
pronounced sort. But it would be fair
to all parties and 1t ought to result
in freeing elections from the faint and
suspicion of money illegimately used.
The plan has not yet been put forth
officially, but 1t has been talked over
at the White House and the President
is understood to be decidedly in favor
of 1t. So far as the details have been
worked out, 1t is that the several par
ties should be apportioned funds for
legitimate election expenses in proper
ton to the vote that they polled at
the last preceding similar election.
This would keep the government dis
bursement from being all in the hands
of the two big parties. The funds
would be as carefully audited as any
of the other disbursements of the
government, and not only would the
people know where each dollar of the
money had gone, but they would see
how election expenses were kept down
within something like reasonable lin
it's. 1t would settle the question of
corporate campaign contribution, would
relieve the corporations from being
held up" by enterprising campaign
solicitors, and would assure all can
didates of sufficient funds to meet
their legitimate outlay.
1t is just the sort of an unpleasant
proposal for the President to make,
one that the machine politicians on
neither side will relish, and yet one
that nobody could honestly and reas-
onably oppose. 1t would make the
election cease to depend on the size
of the"Barl T., and would throw hosts
of ward heelers out of job. 1t will
be delightful if the suggestion is sub
mitted to Congress to see the number
of ways in which the professional poll.
ticians will try to get out OF fairly
facing the issue. II is almost senSa-
sation enough for one week, and will
give a number of statesmen" some
thing to think about between now
and the next session of Congress.

JAMESTOWN EXPO.
OPENS UP TO-DAY
Many of The Buildings Are
Not Yet Finished.
Twenty-Five States Will Trace
History From the Ear
lest Days.

Despite the energetic efforts of off
Gals and workmen, the jamestown
Tercentennial exposition will be
opened to-day, unready. The grounds
and buildings are about so per cent.
finished. Several of the most impor-
tant buildings are built solidly of
brick, cement and iron, and these
are intended to remain on the grounds
as a nucleus of a great park. Re-
CARELESS of the permanency of tile
work, however, the exterior of most
of the buildings will be ready when
the exposition Is formally opened.
In the beauty of the water show,
with its amazing gathering of foreign
fleets, representing the most formi-
dable types of naval fighting ma
chimes of nearly every power of the
world, and in an opening program,
with President Roosevelt in the lead
ing role, with diplomatic, military.
and naval representatives of great
and small foreign nations participant
ing, the public will have its recon-
pense.
The inception of the jamestown
Tercentennial exposition sprang from
a desire of a people, many of them
descendants from that hardy English
stock that settled among the Indians
here 300 years ago,to teach its broth
ers and sisters and display to visitors
from the other nations the traditions
that have been handled down by these
courageous colonists. When complet-
ed it will be almost all that is implied
in the expression "a worlds fair" but
1T will not stop here. No other ex-
position has attempted to show the
world the life of the colonists, the
hardships of the prisoners who OPEN
ed a new country after civilization
had been attaind on the seaboard.
and the achievements these people
worked from raw material.
Twenty-Five States will trace their
history from their earliest days to
the present, and the exhibits will be
sheltered by appropriate buildings.
The State buildings have been
grouped along the historic shore of
Hampton roads and command excel
lent views of the navies of the world.
1t is this great naval display that will
prove the browning glory of the ex-
position. Nothing like it has ever be-
fore been attempted. There are few
harbors in the world that could ac-
commodate so large an assemblage of
warships. The fleets will number in
addition to several of the best types
of each of the foreign naval powers,
the Atlantic fleet of the United States
navy, under command Of Rear Ad-
miral Evans, which is conceded to be
the finest organization of fighting ma
chimes afloat.
The seal of government sponsor
ship will be set upon the exposition
by the coming of the President of the
United States, ambassadors and min
listers of foreign governments, the
Governors and representatives of
States and territories and delegations
representing important civic bodies.
