FILIPINO COMMISSIONERS
INTERESTED IN SUGAR

An interesting parsonage among the
Korea passengers in the city yesterday
was the Honorable Jose Ruiz Luzu-
riaga, Philippine Commissioner and a
native Filipino, who is going to the
mainland with his son on his first visit
to the United States. He was in com
pany with Commissioner W. Cameron
Forbes, who is going to the mainland
on six months leave of absence, and
who has been acting on the Commits
sion as Secretary of Commerce and Po.
lice
Commissioner Luzuriaga rendered sig.
nal service to the United States after
the Americans had lowered the Spanish
eolors in the islands, exerting his infiu.
enee IN the island of Negros to prevent
the Filipino there going out in active
hostility against the Americans. As =
result the sugar industry on Negros. in
which the Commissioner is largely in.
terested, suffered no setback through
the destruction of the eanefelds or the
burning and dismantling of the mills.

He Will visit Europe as well as Amer.
lea on his trip.
His travelling companion and fellow
Commissioner, w. Cameron Forbes, is
also interested in sugar, but through
his official capacity as Secretary of
Commerce, not through any private in
terests In discussing the sugar situa-
tion of the Philippines yesterday, he
stated that the conditions were bad
because of the lack of an open market.
The hopes of the Philippine sugar plan
ters are ON the opening of the Amer
lean market for their product. With
such a market for all or part of their
crop, the industry would be encouraged
and modern machinery for the planta-
tions would be installed.
For the betterment of the industry
an attempt will be made to secure the
passage of bill through Congress to
permit the expectation of 100000 tons
of sugar to the American mainland
without it being subject to the duty.
While Commissioner Forbes is on
holiday trip, it is probable that he will
do something on the mainland towards
helping on the prospects for this bill.

AMBASSADOR To JAPAN
ABOARD THE KOREA

Honorable T. J. O'Brien, American
Ambassador to Japan, spent some hours
yesterday in Honolulu, being through
passenger for the mainland on the S. S.
Korea. He was shown about the city
by ]. r. Gait and A. F. Judd, in com
pany with the Philippine Commission
ers, with whom he also made an official
call upon Governor Frear.
The Ambassador would not discuss
the political situation with representa-
tives of the press, stating that he had
really nothing to tell. There was no
international significance in his trip
home, which was one of pleasure only.

animals in cages and the giraffes and camels and elephants have tent to themselves; then there are the dressing rooms, the dining tent, tents for the black smith, the harness-maker, the wardrobe matron, the circus barber and for those of many other callings necessary to the little travelling circus world, all of which must be protected from the sun or rain.
 Thirty-nine minutes after the cook wagon reaches the grounds the kitchen has been set up, the dining room is not only made ready, but also tables are set and the doors are thrown open to the 15OO employees. If it takes longer than 40 minutes to set up the dining tent and serve breakfast or dinner, there is trou- ble in store for some one," said MT.

 toner for the products of the new mills.
 The south needed $200, ,O00, 900 for fur ther immediate development. The south ern railways were securing that vast investment of northern capital along their lines-when the unreasoning agita- tion against all railroads set in and. tenn porarily at least, halted the southward movement of money. One hundred and six new railway enterprises were under way in the south when the politicians be- gan using the southern railways as foot balls. Those new roads were to be for the development of timber and mining regions and to handle Hong hauls" in Texas and Oklahoma. The promoters of the enterprises have, for the moment, been frightened away. They will get back on the job as soon as a certain brand of politician is relegated to oblivion.
 It was the principal roads of the south, namely, the Southern railway, the Sea- board Ssr Line and the Atlantic Coast Line-that set to work in a practical way to encourage the growth of build ing associations in the south, that helped develop the savings bank idea, that gave practical aid in the construction of bet tar bomss for workinGmen. that led tha

Cure For Meninuitis.

The alarming epidemic of cerebro-spinal meningisit of 1904-1907 was prolific of one good result-it proved that the bacillus. diplococcus intracellularia, discovered by Weichsebaum in 1887, was the source of the disease. A commission was appoint ed by the board of health of the city of New York to study the disease with a view of discovering preventive and cur ative remedies. The special effort of this commission under Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller, Institute for Medical Re- search, was to secure some anti-diplococ- GUS serum for injection into human vic- tins of the disease. Experimental infec- tions were induced in certain animals for the purpose of preparing such "cura- tive" serum, once it was shown it could be effective in experimental infections.

RAILROADS BUILT
 UP THE SOUTH

 The southern railways. more than brotherhood knitted the north and the south together after the war. The rail- ways gave prosperity to the south by encouraging immigration and bringing in people to help do the upbulding. Mem phis 20 years ago had a population of 640OO. Today it has 102,0OO. The railways did it. A few years ago hundreds of places in Louisiana, like Crowley, for example, were only prairie land. The Southern Pacific built a station at Crow ley, and today that place boasts 7o00 per- sons. Other railroads did the same thing for hundred other thriving places in the southern states. The Southern rail- way went into the waste places of the south and caused towns to spring up- The Seaboard Air Line went into coun- try of blasted hopes and built up new industries and with them new courage.

table at the end is set crosswise. This latter is for the manager of the show and his business staff. The freaks occupy n table by themselves, members of families and troupes are seated together, and ef- forts are made to make it as pleasant as possible for all concerned. It is seldom that the entire force of employees sit down to the tables at the same time. The din- ing tent is open two hours and half for each meal, and the performers strag- gle along as they choose. Divided from the officers and performers mess tent is that of the 1000 tent hands or roustabouts as they are generally called. The food served to both tents is the same, and consists of good, wholesome fare-roast beef, baked potatoes, vegetables, salads, and desserts, with a change of menue every day; and the food cooked in the open air is peculiarly delicious and ap- petizing.

 The system under which the employees of a circus work is as nearly perfect as 1t can be made. Each man has his especial duty-one hoists poles, another unfurls canvas, and so on, each one be- coming so familiar with his work that he could accomplish it with his eyes shut if necessity arose; and in an incredibly short time, from what looks to the outsider as hopeless chaos and confusion, a tented city rises like magic. With the arrival of the tent and stake wagon, the boss canvas man walks over the site selected, with tape measure in hand, and at inter- yals indicates the places for the support Ing iron tent poles to be driven. Each pole is marked with a little colored flag huttering on the top, and these flags are the distinguishing marks for the canvas men who follow with the tents. There are 10 or 12 of them when all is done. One long tent. straw-carpeted and canvas ptalled, holds the several hundred splendid horses belonging to the circus.

The propor- tion of recoveries by the old methods of treatment was about 20 per cent. In the several cities where the cases under the new treatment were made, the results in- dicate that in 4T cases S4 recovered and 18 died. Four of the latter were of the fulminant type and therefore past con- trol.. Eliminating these from the cai- culation, this changes the percentage of recoveries to 79.9 and of deaths to 20.1- just reversing the former figures.

and denounced legislative trades
upon high ethical grounds, would
consent to the consummatiOn of a
bargain which violated the Repub-
lican platform and the pledges of
the party candidates, even to Sc
cure the coveted Senatorship.
If the Republicans in the Gen
eral Assembly believe the party
made a mistake in pledging its
support to a uniform county unit
bill let them say so openly above
board, formally renouncing the
last State platform, but let us not
make Republicanism a byword in
Kentucky in future campaigns by
any dishonorable secret trade that
will result in overwhelming defeat
the next time we appeal to the
people,"
Editor Roberts h a spoken
plainly to his party, reminding
the Representatives of h i +
pledges and the result should they
be ignored. In fact the party has
gone far now.

YES, TO Y 0 U d.

The L. S. Postoffice De-
partment has made a new
ruling, requiring all publish
ers Of newspapers to exact
the pay in advance for all
subscribers whose papers are
carried in the mails at the
second-class rate, or one cent
per pound. Otherwise the
postage rate would be pro-
hibitory. All publishers are
given a limited time in
which to adjust their sub
scription list to the new rul-
ing, Therefore all our sub
scribers are requested to at
once pay up in advance, else
when the time limit expires
we shall be compelled to
stop sending the paper ex-
cept to those who have paid
in advance.

Monday and interviewed promi-

COUNTY UNIT.

The temperance question, in The
form of the County Unit measure.
is absorbing the attention of !egls
lators lust now. Some OF the Dem
ocrats are using every effort in Their
power to carry out their pledge
to the people By passing this meas
ure, while some Republicans anc
the so-called boiling Democrats are
using their efforts to defeat the bill.
Friends of the bill are dilligcnt
and determined and it may be the
moral element Of the Republican
party may bring such pressure on
the representatives, who regard
their promise to the people, that
will force them into line for the bill.
Politicians may be assured of this;
temperance is a live ISIS and will
count for much in coming cam
paigns, and the party that igoores
its pied res and their claims will be
in trouble.

CIRCUIT COURT
FOR TRIAL or CIVIL CASES.

Circuit Court met last week in
adjourned session. From the pro-
ceedings we got the following:
In the case of j. T. Day VS.. Ex-
change Bank, in which, in April,
1907, The bank obtained a verdict,
the Court granted Day petition for
appeal to Court of Appeals.
In case of Mrs. Blanche Bra
shear, Administrative, against c..
& o. Railway Co., the Court grants
new trial on the defendants APP
peal. 1t will be remembered that
Mrs. Brashear has twice gottt n
verdicts in the sum of $4,000 and
$4,000 against the company for
the killing of her husband. The
Court thus sets aside the last ver-
dict and remands case for new
trial.
In The case of Mrs. Fannie Whar-
ton VS.. Frank Wharton a divorce
is granted and the custody of their
child is given to the mother.
In the case of Henry Watson VS..
j. E. Dunn the Court overruled
Dunn's petition for new trial !; nd
grants him an appeal to higher
court.

In another column is an account
of the acquittal of Clint Allen,
charged with the killing of Perry
Turner. In the opinion of the
court, the killing, viewed in the
light of the evidence and statutes,
was not regarded as an offense,
was not violation of the law.
OF course, this decision can be re-
viewed by a grand jury. Did Mr..
Allen violate NO law, commit NO
offense? Did he not violate that
law which forbids the carrying OF
concealed deadly weapons! Did
not the evidence in the trial for
killing establish the fact, admitted
by the defendant and corroborated,
that concealed deadly weapon
was carried and used by the de-
iendantl
