THE President has directed the Attorney
General to Immediately take steps for the
retrial Of the Standard Oil case. The re-
versal Of the decision of the lower court
does not in any shape or way touch the
merits Of the case, excepting 30 far as the
size Of the fine is concerned.
There is absolutely no question Of the
guilt of the defendants or OF the excep-
tionally grave character OF the offences.
THE President would regard it as a
gross miscarriage of justice if through any
technioalities OF any kind the defendant
escaped the punishment which would have
unquestionably been meted out to any
weaker defendant who had been guilty Of
such offence. The President will do every
thing in his power to avert or prevent such
miscarriage Of justice.

with the prosecution Of the Standard Oil
cases came to District Attorney Sims to-

1t means that in spite Of the adverse de-
cision Of the United States Court Of Appeals
there is to be no letup in the case and that
immediate steps for retrial are to be taken.

with several others was bathing. Suddenly
Tracy cried for help and went down..
The keeper in charge Of the elephants
drove Lena. one Of the larger beasts. into the
water toward the spot where Tracy dis
appeared. When the elephant was almost
beyond her depth the keeper leaped from
her back and swan to where Tracy was
struggling. He brought Tracy few feet

DROUTH DAMAGES: Some idea
of the fearful effect of the drouth
which has prevailed in Kentucky for
the past six weeks or more can be
obtained from the monthly report of
crop conditions, made from the State
Department of Agriculture by Com
missioner NJ. c. Rankin. The weather
during September was hot and very
dry during the whole month follow
ing the hot and dry weather of Aug
ust The early corn that matured
before the drought is of very good
quality but late corn has been severe
ly damaged. Tobacco has been cut
and housed but has suffered from the

Hemp is being cut but is rather poor.
Very little wheat has been sown
the farmers not wanting to prepare
the ground, SOW the wheat and let it
rot or dry up. Water is exceedingly
scarce. In many parts of the state
it has not rained since the first part
of August.

The fight about publishing the
names OF all who contribute to the
campaign fund still goes merrily on
Mr.. Bryan has challenged Mr.. Taft to
print those names before election
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft both an
swered this by saying that II the
names were printed before election
there would be danger that some people
would blame some OF the contributors
for improper motives in their gifts,
when they were &c a Meter of fact
perfectly honest, and thus there would
be unjust prejudice caused. Our own
opinion is that the people can safely
be trusted with all the information
before the election, and that Mr. Bry-
ans demand while not important
could be safely complied with, but
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt are known
TO be thoroly honest, and as they are
the people most inertested they are
entitled to their opinion. Certainly. no
one believes that there is any impro-
per motive for It.

has been the proof that Mr. Kern, the

dent, has been both professionally and
