State Development.

state OcVciVPluOnt'
1t is no small thing for state to
have a permanent organized body of
influential citizens working steadily
along definite lines for the upbuild-
ing of that state. 1t is a great thing
for Kentucky that there exists the
Kentucky State Development Asso-
citation, which, through organiza-
ton, system and prestige, ought to
succeed in accomplishing more for
the material advancement of Ken
lucky in a short Will than scattered,
desultory and individual efforts
could accomplish in a long while.
The title Of the association tells the
whole story of Its purpose-the de-
velopment of Kentucky. There is no
state in the union which has greater
possibilities, and none with better
opportunities for the developer.
1t is this strong and useful body
that is to meet in Louisville next
Month-November 10, 20 and Fl.
Here it will take up the work where
lit left off a year ago and give new
impetus to the movement of state
development. This association takes
the view that what helps and en-
riches the individual, and every step
toward the advancement of Ken
tucky's material interests is a step
toward the advancement of the In
terests of every citizen. Every dol
lar added to the aggregate wealth
adds to the wealth per capita, and
there is nothing like "a long pull. a
strong pull and a pull altogether"
to increase this aggregate wealth
and thereby open new avenues to
labor and ambition. Its purpose is
not confined to one field. Mining,
agriculture. manufactures all enter
into its range.
MANY sections suffer and are
held back in their progress" runs
the associations prospectus, "by
lack of railroad facilities. This as
ISOLATION will be able to prove by its
data what sections are in need of
railroads, and what traffic could be
offered to a railroad for beginning.
Facts Of this nature, brought before
the proper persons, are bound to
have a most beneficial and enliven-
ing effect In this connection it is
we'll to remind the association and
the people of the state that while it
is true that railroads are greatly
needed by the state, since some Of
the richest of counties have not a
single"mile of railroad, capital is
very timid and is easily scared away
by antagonistic sentiment. 1t is as
injurious to community for its peo-
pie to prosecute capital as it is for
capital to Cypress the people. Ex-
IRENE measures taken in certain
states against railroads have set
progress back decades in those states
and if ever Kentucky people should
show a spirit of hostility toward
railroads al d o,her enterprised cap
ital TIE progress of the state and the
prosperity of the individuals in the
state would be materially retarded
There is a difference between lawful,
but friendly, restraint. and crush
ing and hysterical hostility.

MOONsH|NERS KILLED IN RAID
200 Men Are Routed and 80 Ar.
rested inPiedmont, N. C.
Ten of the Mountaineers Were Killed
in the Pitched Battle and Women
and Children Driven From Home.

Asheville, N. C.-In a pitched bat
tie at Piedmont, wooded and rocky
pass in the mountains ten miles from
this city, a small army of revenue
officers routed 200 moonshiners, who
were encouraged in the battle by
their wives and daughters. Ten of
the moonshiners were killed and
thirty were taken prisoners. with sew
eral women and half dozen chill
dren. Four thousand gallons of
whisky were seized.
The revenue army was led nv T
VIII Roberts, who had been planning
the raid for three months. He re-
ceived information that the moon
sinners had gathered for the whole
sale running of mountain dew" and
that the mountaineers were in such
force they were prepared to resist
the revenue officers. Roberts gath
cred men from dozen points and
led them for the mountain. The
moonshiners were intrenched. expect
ing an attack from the front. But
under cover of the darkness Roberts
led his men by circuitous route up
the mountain until he was above the
mountaineers. At dawn he sent a
man under cover of white flag de-
manding surrender, but the moon
sinners, with derisive cheers, fred a
volley over the head of the messen-
ger.
The battle at once opened, and
from the first went against the moon
sinners. They were bewildered at
the heavy fire directed against them,
believing that they had not more
than a small squad of revenue men
to deal with. At the sound of the
firing women and children came
focking from cabins all over the
mountainside, and the women were
insistent that the position be held.
1t became untenable after an hours
hard fighting, and the main body of
the mountaineers, comprising 100
men, succeeded in quick retreat.
The prisoners taken were isolated in
an advanced post. Five of the rev.
enue officers were wounded, but none
was killed. In all fifteen wounded
men were brought to this city and
are now in the hospital

SCORES HOUSE OF LORDS
Campbell Bannerman Offers Res
OIution CurtaiIing Its Powers.
An Effete Government Has Lost the
Confidence of the People From
Unpopular Measures.

London.-Premier Campbell-Ban-
herman moved his resolution advo-
eating the curtailment of the power
Of the House of Lords before the
fullest House of the session. The
galleries also were crowded, those
present in that part of the House in
Guiding many peers who were anxious
10 observe the beginning of the at
tempt to reduce their power to con-
troll legislation.
The resolution was as follows:
THAT In order to give effect to the
will of the people as expressed by
their elected representatives it Is
necessary that the power of the other
House to alter or reject bills passed
by this House should be so restricted
by law as to secure that within the
limits of single Parliament the final
decision of the House of Commons
shall prevail.
Replying to aquestion, the Premier
said 1t was not proposed that the
resolution dealing with the House of
Lords should be moved in the upper
House after its discussion in the
House of Commons had been com.
pleted. He emphasized the fact that
the resolution embodied the principle
of the predominance of the House Of
Commons, and said that in adopting
this course they were following GER
tain historic precedents. The reso-
luton itself, even If carried, would
not have the effect of law or procure
the desired results. A bill would
be necessary, and the Government
would exercise it's discretion as to
when it should be introduced His
Majesty's Ministers now only desired
to test the opinion of the House and
make sure that they had the House of
Commons behind them. They held
the view that the House of Commons
alone was authorized to express the
country's sentiments. The Premier
was to recognize ungrudgingly the
constitutional authority which resid-
ed in the House of Commons.
Amid loud Ministerial cheers the
Premier protested that if this author
ty should be usurped by non-elect-
ed House it followed that represen-
tative institutions must take second
airy place. The Government, he
huuSu, proposed InaL provision SnOuId
be made for conferences between
the House of Commons and the
House of Lords when differences
arose over bill. If no agreement
were reached the bill should be rein
PRODUCED and sent to the House OF
Lords with declaration that, should
second conference fail to result In
an agreement, the House of Com
mons would pass the bill over the
heads of the Lords.
Continuing, the Premier said the
present Government believed that the
reduction of the period of existence
of Parliament to five years would
effectively prevent ian effete Govern
ment which had lost the country's
confidence from forcing through I'M
popular and improper measures.

MISS LOVING TELLS
OF ESTES WRONG
Virginia Girl Testifies to Save
Fathers Life.
THE WHISKY STUPEFIED HER
Victim of the Fatal Buggy Ride Tells
the Story to Save Her Fathers
Life, Who is on Trial For the
Murder.

NAS1Auu VI TIC FdLal Buggy hide Tells
the Story to Save Her Fathers
Life, Who is ON Trial For the
Murder.
Houston, Va.-Miss Elizabeth Low.
ing, forced to the alternative of sac
riicing her reputation or sending her
father to the gallows, has made her
choice. She went on the stand at
the trial of her father, Judge William
G. Loving, for the murder of Theo-
dore Estes, and swore that Estes had
assaulted her.
Judge Loving killed Estes because
she had told such a story. Since
then it has been asserted that the
story was false; that Estes did not
treat her as she told her father he
did; that she became intoxicated, and
that to excuse herself she told the
Judge the story which caused him to
kill young Estes. There has been
much speculation whether she would
go on the stand and admit that Estes
did not treat her dishonorably. That
speculation she disposed of by her
testimony.
Only once in a recital lasting al
most an hour did Miss Loving give
way to her emotion. That was when
she told the jury of her confession to
her father on the day following the
ride. She broke down completely,
sobbed convulsively, and for a time
it looked as though she would not be
able to go on, but with an effort con-
trolled herself and continued her
story, and later gained courage
enough to even fence with the Com
monwealth's attorney.
Her father was on the stand ear
lier in the day, being the first witness
called when court met. His recital
for his children, and after giving way
to tears, he told the jury without a
show of emotion that he ordered his
buggy and took his shotgun to put to
death the man who had mistreated
his daughter.
The Loving case is strangely SINH
lar to the Thaw case. But while the
defense is the "unvritten law" COM
bined with emotional insanity, the
country doctors who were put on the
SIduu Qlu uOC Idlk OIL DTdluSJOFLuS OF
exaggerated ego, but in plain English
said they believed that several at
lacks of delirium tremens through
which Judge Loving had passed had
so weakened his brain that for the
time being he was insane. AS in the
Thaw case, everything hinges in this
trial on whether or not the jury be-
lieves that Elizabeth Loving told her
father the story which he says she
did, and which resulted in his killing
young Estes. The truth or falsity of
the story is not material, according
to the defense.
Wood Bouldin, the Common
wealths. attorney, courtly, digni-
fed Southerner, who, while asking
Miss Loving the most embarrassing
questions, was skilfully leading her
away from her story, and apologizing
for it, announced that he intended to
prove by the witnesses of the defense
that Miss Loving's story is absolutely
false and that Theodore L. Estes was
never guilty of an improperly to-
ward her.
