TO GIVE SERVICES
FOR A MONUMENT,

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-In order to
build a monument to the memory of
Stephen C. Foster, the great song
writer, whose "Old Kentucky Home"
and sway Down Upon the Suwanee
River" seem to grow more popular as
the years roll by, Miss Henrietta
Crosman, the great Coincidence,
made a proposition today to Cover
nor Napoleon Broward of Florida,
TO give a performance of one of her
plays in any city In Florida he may
select and to donate the entire re-
ceipts to fund that will go to ac-
complish the building of a statue to
the honor of the man who made the
Suwanee River and Florida famous.
Miss Crosman is the grand niece of
Stephen c. Foster, and it was to
her mother that the song writer used
TO first sing his songs. Kentucky
nas already honored the memory of
Foster with a statue and Miss Cros-
man wants Florida to do the same.
As the actress is to make her first
tour of the South this fall there
seems every probability that Cover
nor Broward and Miss Crosman will
both see the project in the same
light.

AN INTRODUCTION.

luo WluCu05t0l N0WS udkoS llS
modest bow this afternoon as it en-
ters the field of daily newspapers.
We have few illusions in t he news
paper business. We do not propose
TO tilt at windmills nor to strive for
tho unattainable.
The News believes there is ample
field for a daily in Winchester.
The start of canvass for subscrip-
tons has been made, and already
the list of subscribers is gratifying
and beyond the expectation of the
manager. Our advertising columns
show the ready response of the local
merchants.
The News is first and last for a
greater Winchester. 1t will sup
port in its columns all measures for
the upbuilding of the city, for the
advancement of Clark county, and
for the greater development of
Eastern Kentucky.
We are for all that makes for pro-
gress and for civic righteousness in
this community. 1t seems to us
that one of the chief functions of a
Winchester daily Is work here at
home laporing for the betterment
of our city and of our fellow citi-
zens.
For that reason and believing
that we can accomplish the result
better by so doing, The News will
be absolutely independent in its po-
litical policy. 1t will belong to no
political party. In the present ma
tional campaign, the News is non
partisan in its broadest meaning.
We shall take Lo sides and will ex-
press no views editorially in favor
of either party.
The News will at all times give
the news, whether political or
otherwise, truly, without coloring
and without fear or favor. We
shall cover the local field thorough
1Y.and will give fair report of the
daily happenings in the State and
world.
And in our reports we shall en-
endeavor to be careful of the 1epu-
tation of all women and the honor
OF all men. A daily should not be
q scandal monger. We would prefer
not to print an item, if no good can
be accomplished thereby, rather
than besmiIch woman's name or
.injure mans standing.
We shall support and sympathize
with any movement for the devel-
opment of the community. We are
for the city's material growth and
for all that goes to make for the
moral and intellectual in ur civic
life.
The News will endeavor to be
what its name implies, a conveyer
of news to, its readers. 1t has ten
pages today 1t trusts that it will
receive sufficient advertising sup
port to justify an tight page paper
at all times. Still, .lhe management
would rather run four or six
page paper than to undertake more
than it can accomplish. We feel
more confident now of the success
of the daily than at any time since
we became interested in the idea.
We bespeak the kindly indulgence
of our readers and patrons.

JAPAN ACCEDES
TO U. S. POLICY
EMIGRATION WILL BE PRACTI-

TOXIC, Feb. 19.-The memoran-
dun of the japanese government in
reply to the United States on the
subject of emigration was handed to
Ambassador O'Brien today 1t is un-
derstood it agrees in general terms
to a number of suggestions of the
American government and insures
the further restriction of emigration

1t bears every evidence that the
japanese government is unsparing in
its efforts to avoid further complica-

the government is facing the power

Losed resolution in the diet to CEN

BRYAN BELIEVES
IN AGITATION

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 19.-Will-
lam j. Bryan, il an interview here
yesterday, said:
Il can't say just how much Presi-
dent Roosevelt's attitude has had to
do with the present financial dis
turbances. If his Investigations or
recommendations have tended to
squeeze the water out of watered
stocks, the blame should not fail on
him, but on those who watered the
stocks. My criticism would be that
he did not commence soon enough
to storm the fort.
The great questions to share the
attention in the coming campaign, I
Relieve" said Mr.. Bryan. ARE the
trust, the tarif and the railroad
questions. But one issue runs
through all of these. however, and
that is shall the government be ad-
ministered in behalf of the people or
for the benefit of few of the peo-

ASK COMMISSION
TO TAKE ACTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has sent letter to
the interstate commerce commission
in which he has indicated the inn
portance of the commission's action
in respect to the Limitation of the
hours of labor of railroad employees.
and points out the possibility of SER
Ious differences between the COM
pany and their employees with re-
speet to wages and hours of labor.
It is understood the letter of the
president will be macs public by the
commission.
The president strongly depreeates
the making of an issue between the
railroad companies and their en-
ployes in the matter of wages that
can be avoided and instruets the
commission to secure all possible in
formation in advance so that the re-
sponsibility may be placed and to
hold itself in readiness to mediate.

WASHINGTON Feb. 19.-At the
instance of the American Civic Fed
eration, DR.. w. ]. Spencer. British
scientist, who was commissioned by
the geological survey of Canada to
investigate the Niagara Falls prob
lem, appeared before the house COM
mittee on rivers and harbors to-day
and presented facts to show that if
the request of a traffic power com
pany for franchise to use 10000
cubic feet of water per second were
granted what effect it would have
on the falls.
He said that such a withdrawal
OF water and the necessary changes
IN the river would result in the re-
eession of the Horseshoe falls and
'he lowering of Lake Erie, Lake
Huron and Lake Michigan three
