HEADLEY'S SPEECH
Yesterday Afternoon Was
Listened to By Large
Crowd.

Ward Headley, a Princeton law
yer, spoke to large crowd in the
Circuit Court room yesterday after
noon. He spoke at considerable
length, but the hour at which we
went to press prevented orr making
an extended notice. He spoke of
the deplorable condition of affairs
in this section Of the black patch,
and said that all members of the as
sociation ought to get together and
cooperate with the good and law
abiding citizens to put an end TO the
depredations. Inferentially he said
that the men who have aroused
some of the people to deeds of law
lessness can be found in the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, and that
there are honest men in Hopkins
vile who have been duped by the
Trust and all the trouble is traceable
to the American Tobacco Company.
Speaking Of the soldiers here, he
said that they were polite young
men and that they were not here of
their own choosing. They behave
themselves I'd they should be treat
ed well d protected by the people
with The same care given to women
He said that half a dozen men in
Hopkiusville are the sole cause q
the soldiers being sent here. They
went TO Frankfort and lied about
the association until they got the
soldiers, and nov. he understands
they are lying about the soldiers.
Mr.. Headley was in the midst O.
his speech at the time of this writ
ing. So far as heard his fire wa
directed wholly against the Ameri
can Tobacco Co. and other tobacc,

W VERY early in his career stephen
A. Douglas became known
~ throughout the country as 1.-THE
Little Giant" The sobriquet was
a fit one Physically he was short and
slight-a little man. Mentally he was
big from his boyhood. His head was
large and CORRESPONDENCE brainy. He
was a giant in intellect.
| Douglas was daringly ambitions. His
goal was the presidency of the United
States. AS a schoolboy in Vermont and
western New York the familiar para
doxical fact that ANY American boy
can become president" seems to have,
taken possession of him He settled in
q new state, Illinois. to grow up with
the country and work himself into lead
ership. Though he failed of the pres
idency. he was in the whitest heat OF
the presidential limelight for years.
Perhaps no man in American history
rose to national eminence so rapidly
as did Douglas He almost won a
nomination for congress at the age Of
twenty-five. Only three years later
court of Illinois. resigning this office
at the age of thirty to enter congress.
In the lower house Douglas became at
once a national figure. Entering the
senate a few years later, his fame
widened and deep6ned with each sue
ceeding year Douglas was a tar more
prominent man in 1852 than was
Franklin Pierce, who defeated him for
the Democratic nomination for pres.
ident and was elected Douglas was
still under forty Four years later the
engrossing slavery problem had so
divided his party that again he failed
to win the nomination. o 1860 be
was nominated by the northern Sec
ton OF the Democracy.
1t was his espousaI OF the doctrine
of "squatter sovereignty" which con-
tended that every territory should be
permitted to vote for itself on the
question of slavery that cost Douglas !
the presidency.
Douglas died at the early age OF
forty eight, a few months after the in.
auguration of his greatest opponent.

Evil Of Smoke In citlesM<

Speaking of the evils of smoke In
London at a meeting of the Christian
Social Union at ST. Pauls Chapter
House recently, Sir w. B. Richmond
said late springs and early autumns
were caused by London smoke, and
nothing else. Where there was no
light there was no color. Hence the
pallor of the people and the fact that
poor girls of Is or 16 were often tooth.

were largely due to the absence OF

n ONGFELLOW has been called by
a critic the poet of the com.
monplace" Some friends Of the
beloved American poet have re-
scented this characterization, but others
have accepted it with thanks to the
critic These latter hold that it is
glory enough for a poet to glorify the
commonplace. to see and express the
beauty OF simple things, as Longfellow
| has done.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was
ripe scholar one of the best educated
men of his time He was a reader OF
many literatures in many languages.
Much Of his work consists of transa-
tions from other tongues, the poet put
ting into simple and lucid English
verse the thoughts of other men, but
introducing also much of the person
atty of the translator BY far the
larger bulk Of his writings is original
and much of this work is distinctively
of American flavor and Inspiration.
Longfellow in "Hiawatha" produced
the first great American poem of epic
length and treatment. In this work
the poet brought the neglected and de-
spised American Indian for the first
time into poetic literature He per.
ceiyed and gave expression to the ro-
nance of the abOrigine
But it is by his briefer poems. the
lyrical pieces, that Longfelow is best

most artistic forms OF poetic express

passed in American literature.
Other poets have arisen in America.
some few OF whom have shown a high
err genius in creative work. but Long
fellow, the kindly old Harvard profess
or, the poet of "The Village Black
smith," remains, when all is said and |
done, the most widely popular OF |
American poets. not only on this side
of the Atlantic. but across the sea as
we'll Longfellow was the peoples poet |
because he wrote so lucidly that the |
people could understand and appre- |
ciate, because he made the common |
place poetic.
