each one by the hand and to each he
spoke a few words of mingled greeting
and communication.

Philosophy of C0Wardice.

II is safe TO assume that no brave
man would be coward II ,he could.
II is equally safe TO assume that there
lives no coward who would not be
brave If it were possible for him to ex-
change the one quality for the other.
Cowardice per Sc is not a voluntary
condition. Its requirement is not
sought. Its possession is despised by
those in whom it is Unborn for it is
as surely a part of the psychological
equipment of some natures as courage
is the equipment of other natures.
The ancient Greeks stoned theil
towards to death. The North Ameri-
can Indians tortured them with fire
The early Romans lashed then
through the streets. The women OF
Brittany jeered them and spat upon
them as they wrilhed and trembled
in the pillory. But the stoning, the
tortures, the lashings and the inflic-
tion OF ipdignities never made brave
man out of coward. AS civilization
advanced, scorn, Gisdain and humila'
Ting penalties took the place of capl-
tai punishment and physical chastise-
mcnt, and this became a greater ag-
ony to the coward than death itself
To be stripped of his uniform and
drummed out of the army with his
comrades as witnesses was a more
poignant torture for the coward sol
der that TO sit on his own coffir
and have his heart torn with bullets
because he was a coward.
Neither environment nor education
can alter a mental condition which doc
not exist from choice and whose exis-
tence is hated by him in whom it ex-
isis. The physical coward is deserv'
ing of pity rather than condemnation
but even while We pity We should de-
bar him from any place in the army
the navy or the constabulary, where
bravery is the essential quality Of
membership, just as we would debal

foreign or native birth, are admitted
TO suffrage without restraint through
special provisions. The amendment
was drafted by a committee of lead

vote at the polls is necessary before
it becomes part of the Constitution.

TOBACCO GROWERS
in Line FOR RELIEF.
Two Important Bills Reported
Favorably In the
* House.
A Frankfort dispatch says;

Two important tobacco bills, which
are backed by the American Society
of Equity, were reported favorably
and given their first reading, being
put in line for passage at an early
date. One of them puts the tobacco
companies and all companies doing
business in Kentucky under the police
power of the State. The other pro-
vides fine for any person who sells
pooled tobacco. Both bills will be
put on their passage within the next
few days, and 1t is probable that they
will be brought to vote within the
next few days. An amendment was
offered to the first bill, known as the
McChord bill, which will prevent the
tobacco companies from doing bushes
in Cincinnati and escaping the pro-
visions of the law. 1t was shown that
under the bill, as at first drawn, Louis
Vile would lose the tobacco business,
which would be diverted to Cincin-
natl. but the amendment cures this
defect and will keep the business In
the State.
Representative Wilson Offered a
resolution in the House providing for
the appointment of a committee TO
investigate the awarding of contracts
for the construction of the new Capt.
tol and this was adopted after IL had
been amended to include two Repub-
licans on the committee. 1t is call
ing of the hand of the Republicans
on the charges of graft in connection
with the construction of the Capitol,
which we're made during the last State
campaign.
Senator Cureton offered bill fix
ing the salary of the members OF
the Legislature at $40 a month during
the two years in which they serve, in
stead of a certain sum each day.
Under another bill introduced by Sen
ator Cureton the salary of The Lieu
tenant Governor was fixed at S2,5OO
a year.
Senator Renaker introduced a bill In
the Senate providing pensions for aged
and disabled Confederate soldiers who
have no means of support, and who
have no relatives who are able to sup
port them. Another bill affecting
Confederate soldiers was introduced
by Senator Hogan. This bill provides
that any Confederate soldier who is
aged and disabled can remain at his
home and draw the regular allowance
for those who are inmates of the home
at Pewee Valley.

Farm2

Few men have been placed in

Morgan's grandfather, Ralph Nor
gan, a well known politician of Bloom
ington, knew that his light hearted
handsome nephew loved the dainty cir

The old man was a farmer. Young
Morgan would naturally succeed to
the estate, and the elder man did not
think that a pretty, fragile college
girl could make farmers wife, so he
formed the will SO that should Dink
Morgan ask Miss Trayloy to wed The
young man must forfeit the estate.
While Morgan has not as yet COM
mitted himself, it is said that he is
strongly of the opinion that the girl
is worth more than the farm lands
which the grandfather has said will
belong to the young man if ne follows
out the terms of the will.
In the meanwhile Miss Trayley Is
