From an article published in an
other column it will be seen that
Frederick is trying to rob us of the
Lincoln memorial highway. We must
not remain idle and allow this to be
done. This road means more to our
city than anything that has ever been
suggested, and there is every indica-
ton that it's construction will be au-
thorized at the next session of Con-
gress. 1t will be magnificent high
way, the very best that money can
build, with a trolley accompaniment,
and we may expect strong efforts from
other sections to secure d change from
the original route by way of Westmin-
ster. We should be prepared for this,
and get together all the facts and in
formation, both of sentimental and
business character, that will influence
Congress to adhere to the route as at
present outlined. This should be CIV
en- to Congressman Talbot, who will
undoubtedly aid us in every possible
way. Our leading citizens should get
busy at once Things no longer come
to him who waits We must go after
them.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
For Congress,
j. F. G. TALBOT

Those who are the most ardent ad-
mirers of Mr.. Bryan, and those who
are equally loyal democrats, but who
believed that the candidacy of another
would better serve the interests of the
party, all agree now that the senti-
ment for his election to the Presidency
has never been so pronounced in the
party throughout the country as at
the present time.
All reports from the West and the
Middle West indicate that there is the
greatest enthusiasm for him in that
section, and it is believed by both
parties that the great battle of the
present campaign will be fought there.
In the East the party is united upon
him as it was not in either of his form
er campaigns. And why should this
not be so? What reason has a Demo-
crat for refusing to support Mr.. Bryan,
who was from the beginning almost
the unanimous choice of the recent
Democratic national convention? And
then, there is no issue for which he
stands in this campaign that is not
conservative and Democratic.
While this is the condition with the
Democrats, the Republicans are hav-
ing their warning factions, and their
troubles that will not down. They
are troubled about the labor vote, and
are even disturbed about the negro
vote. And if there is any serious
trouble with the latter, they may well
be disturbed. For if the negroes break
out from their ranks, they had about
as well shut up shop and go out of
business, for that is the vote upon
(Which they have been depending for
the life of their party since the war.
The Democratic party has always
dealt frankly and fairly with the ne
gro, and they are now beginning to
see that their real friends are not in
the Republican party; that that party
has held on to them, in all these years,
simply to use them on election day,
and then to cast them off and discard
them every other day In the year.
All indications point to the belief
that this will be Democratic Presi-
dental year.

tuberculosis Exhibition.

Mainly through the efforts of the
Bourbon County Medical Society, DR..
Z. u. Daugherty acting for the SOci-
! ETY., free tuberculosis Exhibition
was given at the court house Tuesday
evening. 1t was conducted by the
National Association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis.
Prof Routzan delivered very inter-
esting lecture, illustrating by stere-
optican views. Snort addresses were
made by DR. w. c. 'Ussery, DR.. C. g.
Daugberty, Rev. Geo. Clarke and DR..
Hickman, colored. The Circuit Court
room was crowded to overlooking,
many being turned away from the
door.
Prof. Routzan borught out the fol-
lowing facts in his lecture:
In the United States 10000 people
die every year from consumption-40
every day-more than were killed in
battle during the entire four years of
the Civil War. All the infectious dis
eases combined do not cause nearly so
many death. Consumption kills peo-
pie in the prime of life when they
should be useful citizens and when
they can least be spared by their fam
lilies. One-half the total deaths from
consumption occur between the ages OF
twenty and forty.
Consumption can be prevented. But
the Association for the Prevention of
tuberculosis and other organizations
can not win the battle without the
help of all citizens of every age and
condition. How to help was demon
strated by illustrating the New Golden
Rule-''Don't give consumption to
others and don't let others give it to
you" This is entirely possible. If
all the people would only learn and
practice a few simple rules about con
sumption, then those diseases would
each year cause fewer and fewer
deaths.
Consumption is not inherited but is
spread chiefly through the germ or
seed contained in the sputum (spiD
or moist particles coming from the
throat and lungs of the consumptive.
Consumption is conveyed to well people
largelysby consumptives who spit care
lessly, or who are not cleaniy about
their persons.
There is no danger in the breath of
a consumptive, or being near him.
The surest prevention is TO live right,
because the perfectly healthy body is
not subject to the disease. Consump-
ton can be cured in its early stages
sometimes even when more advanced.

Furthermore, a prominent physician

HUGHES MAKES APPEAL
Again Denounces Track Gam
bling in Message

ALBANY. n. Y, March 3-Governor
Hughes sent TO the assembly today a
message declining to give the name OF
the alleged gambler whose letter, pub
lished yesterday morning. implied that
money would be used to prevent the
enactment of the antiracetrack gam
bling bills. In his message he said:
l gave no credence to any report that the
members OF your honorable body would be de-
1ected from their manifest duty by any at
tempt. If any such were made. the part OF
those who have vast interests at stake in the
matter to corrupt their judgment. On the con-
trary, | have implicit confidence that the legis-
lsture will carry into effect the constitutional n
mandate and VIII purge our state of this source
of misery and vice. which exists only because
the will of the people fatty declared in the
effect.
Arrayed against the bills stand those who
would sacrifice the morals Of youth bE ex-
tending the array Of temptations; who would
in1ict needless suffering upon helpless women
and children dependent upon the cultivation Of
thrift and Industry, and who would imperil the
welfare OF thousands of our people simply be-
cause of their selfish desire to make money out
OF gambling privileges They fatten upon
that the laws of the state shall be adapted TO
their purpose.
Your honorable body knows that pool selling
and book making at race tracks are prevented
by appropriate laws the constitution re-
quires. but flourish substantially unrestricted
under what amounts 10 legal protection. This
is scandal of the first order and disgrace
to the state. The bills are not aimed at racing
at race tracks or at property: they are
constitution. condemned by the moral sense Of
the people irrespective OF creed. and conceded
sincerely trust that nothing will divert your
attention from this main issue aud that the
legislature. in obedience to constitutional pro
vision, win free us from curse of which no
Just defense is possible.
Without comment the message was
laid on the table.
