NEW HOME.
Catholic woman's Club Is
to Have Quarters I'm
City's Center.

The Catholic Woman's Club has
purchased the Waverly Hotel as IT'S
permaent home and expects to take
up its quarters there on or about
the first of next month. The deal
was consummated last Saturday, and
the purchase price was $4,000. Many
generous friends came to the aid OF
the club in an endeavor to make the
purchase a possibility. To these the
Woman's Club returns most heartfelt
thanks; but there is still balance
to be paid and the new home has 20
be put into shape for the uses to
which it must in future be devoted.
For this reason the club has ar
ranged to present an opera during
the spring, possibly about the middle
of May. The leading Catholic
vocalists, both men and women, have
volunteered their services, but many
more voices are needed. Rehearsals
are being held at the Catholic
Woman's Club every Monday night
at O'Clock, with Prof. Schmitt,
organiSt at ST. Patrick'se church, as
director. Catholic young men and
women are urged TO help the good
cause by attending the rehearsals
and lending their voices and
dramatic talent to aid the Catholic
Woman'S Club.

MOVES UP.
John FeatherStone Reward
ed For Years of Faith
full Service.

After thirtyfour years of active
and diligent service John Feather
stone, of this city, and as fine
representative of the lrish-American
as can be found anywhere, has been
made General Superintendent of Con-
struction of the entire system of tho
Cumberland Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. The territory over
which he assumes control extends
from Illinois and Indiana to the Gulf
of Mexico, and takes in practically
the entire South and West.
Mr.. Featherstone has been with
the company practically from its
incipiency. He began at the bottom
rung of the ladder and has worked
his way up by hard work and strict
attention to duty. During the greater
part of the time spent with the
company he has been District Super
intendent. Mr.. Featherstone will
assume his new duties about the
first of next month. One thing tina.
he regets. and that his numerous
friends in Louisville regret, is that
he will have his headquarters at
Nashville, Tenn. He will be sue
ceeded as District Superintendent o:
Construction by p. II. Bright, OF
Shelbyville, who will make his head
quarters here. Mr.. Bright has many
friends in Shelbyville, who regret his
departure, but who rejoice at his
promotion.

visor of County Roads at salary
of $4,000 a year, and at the same
sitting created the office of County
Engineer to do the same work al
salary of $4,000 a year. How is
that for reform? The man who held
the office that was abolished is n
Democrat; the man who gets the
new office is Republican.
On July 81, 1906, Judge Charles A.
Wilson, by the authority of the
Fiscal COURT, appointed Joseph
Nevin Supervisor of County Roads,
with a salary of $4,000 year. On
October of the same year Mr.. Nevin
was reelected by the Fiscal Court
for period of two years. He has
been a street and road builder in this
city and county for more than thirty
years. He has built more streets in
Louisville than any other contractor,
and his ability as a practical road
builder can not be questioned. When
the present charter of the city of
Louisville went into effect Joe Nevin
was made a member of it's first
Board of Public Works. Everybody
knows what he has done for the city
and for the county, and yet on
March II the Fiscal Court abolishes
the office to which he had been
elected, although his term will not
expire until October 2. 1t was for
economic reasons the Fiscal Court
said Is it not in conflict with tie
statutes of Kentucky to legislate a
man out of office?
Now, mark you, on the same after
noon and at the same session of the
Fiscal Court the office of County
Engineer was created at salary of
$500 month, and Merritt Drane.
Republican, was elected to the place
and to do the same work that Mr..
Nevin did for one third of the money.
Mr. Drane is also County Surveyor.
Is it not incompatible with the
statutes for a Kentuckian to hold
two offices?

MISTAKE.
No Objection to Holding
Grand Council at
Lebanon.

In recent issue of the Kentucky
Irish American it was reported that
there was some objection to holding
the next Grand Council of the Young
Mems Institute at Lebanon. The in.
formation came from apparently
reliable sources, hence the publica-
ton. The article of course attracted
much attention, and members
throughout the Kentucky Jurisdiction
will be pleased when they read the
following from James T. Shelley, Dis
trict Deputy Grand President for
Kentucky and member of the SUI
preme Council:
81 was requested by the Grand
President to inves tigate this report,
and after doing so l find that it was
all a mistake, as no council has ever
made any objection to holding the
meeting at Lebanon. Please correct
the report, as it is an injustice To
the council alleged to have made the
objection, and also to the citizens
and council at Lebanon"

HOQUIAM SCANDAL
Police Circles all Torn
Up in Our Sister City.
ChiefDeposed and
Officer Skips.

HooUIAM Jan. 1.-Hoquam ushered
In the year 1908 with salacious scandal,
in which the wives of couple of promi-
nent citizens, Chief of Police Mckinney,
Officer McGriff and a couple of lrate hus-
bands are the leading figures. A few
days ago Officer McGriff suddenly re-
signed his star and disappeared, telling
friend In Aberdeen he was going east.
His departure was surprise 10 acouaint-
ances, e pecially the hasty manner of it,
he not waiting to say good bye even to
his chums. An irate husband is said to
be cunning for him.
Yesterday, Mayor Mcintyre hastily
called the city council together in a
secret session to investigate serious
charges against the chief OF police. THE
mayor and five members were present,
and we'll known business man flied an
affidavit charging Mckinney with undue
intimacy with his wife.
The marshal is said to have admitted
part of the affidavit to be true, but de-
MED the details, and did not think him.
self so much to blame in view of all the
circumstances. In All interchange of
couftesies between the marshal and the
wronged husband, the lie was given, and
the big marshal grabbed the W. h., who
is much smaller, and but for the inter-
vention Of the councilmen would have
ended his career by breaking his neck.
After the marshal was pulled loose,
his resignation was demanded, produced
and promptly accepted, and, after maxi
ing appointments to fill the vacancies on
the force, the council meeting was over.
The complaining husband sold out his
bus. ness here yesterday, and is said to
have left secretly this morning, in fear of
the big marshal. Many are now putting
two and two together in studying the
way Mckinney acted in the Todd case,
and the cum total is creditable neither
to the city OF HoQuiam or the officers Of
juetice.
This fracas will probably have the
good effect OF eliminating Mckinney
from the race for the Office OF sheriff, for
which he has been industriously COACH
ing for some time. 1t will be remem bered
that the Grays Harbor Post not long ago
published his photo and announced him
as the choice OF the Young Mems Re-
publican club, and that his press bureau
in this city has been established some
time.
The affair is the talk of the town, de.
spite all kinds OF efforts to suppress it,
and it is suspected that there is more to
! follow.

CURRENCY REFORMS
ASSET CURRENCY OR CENTRAL
BANK?
A Central Bank Would Soon Control
the Government and the Entire
Credit System of the Nation. In
SuranCe of Asset Currency and
Deposits Alike in Principle.

AS we do not believe that the bus
mess cataclysm that sweeps our land
today, has been caused or can be con-
trolled by anything so superficial as
the supply and character of the cur
rency, we are not profoundly inter-
ested in any of the plans for cur
rency reform that are under discus
sion. they must be considered, alike
by those who believe in them and by
those who reject them. No one can
afford to ignore them if he is inter-
ested in industrial conditions at all.
One of these plans is called the
central banking scheme. 1t is essen
TALLY the same old plot in another
form as that which Jackson put
down. The scheme contemplates a
government bank" to be owned
jointly by the federal government
and the federated national banks
government bank as the New
York subway is municipal owner
ship" the government being the
backer and the interests taking the
profit. If this currency reform
scheme were put into operation we
should soon learn that the currency
factor is minor one. The whole
credit system would be promptly
brought under the control of a small
coterie of financiers, and through
their control of the credits of the
people they would control the gov
ernment itself-bank, White House,
capitol and all. The central bank
scheme would work out a system of
government of the people by the in
terests and for the interests.
Against the central bank plan is
the asset currency plan. Those who
advocate it are not favorable at all
to the central bank, and the central
bank advocates are not favorable to
the asset plan. There is here con-
troversy between two schools of fin
anciers-the centralizers and the
non-centralizers. The theory Of as
set currency is that it rises and falls

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, zone of the
objects of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of
chloroform, opium, morphine, and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs, and the truth of
this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. It's value has
been proved beyond question during
the many years it has been in general
use. For sale by Evans Drug Co.

the bill which bore his name, said 1--WE
have recommended no duty above the
point of difference tetween the normal
cost OF production here, including labor,
and the cost of like production in the
countries which seek our markets"
THIS was the basis Of the defense for
number of years, and we heard manv
protestations Of interest in the laboring
man from lawmakers who, instead of
voting the aid directly to the wage
Garner, voted it to employers, without
providing the employees with any means
OF compelling a division. Men who
wonld not trust their own children to
deal fairly with their brothers and sis
tiers in tie distribution of an estate have
trusted manufacturers whom they never
cav to distribute the tariff bounty among
the factory hands.
