claring for Taft and asking for an un-
instructed delegation. To the honest
Republicans Of McCracken county and
the First district The Sun says in
struct your delegates to the district
convention, not only as to your choice
for president, but also for district
chairman and the temporary organi-
cation. They are your delegates and
should speak your will. Therefore,
tell them what your will is. That is
the only honest way. Do not let the
delegates be taken to the district con-
venton to be traded like four-footed
stock.
These Fairbanks men in the First
district, forsooth! Ed Franks, inter
nal revenue collector, and w. ]. De-
Doe opposed Governor Wilson's nomi-
nation and were beaten in the district,
while those, who are supporting Will
liam II. Taft fought for Judge James
Breathitt and Capt. Ed Farley. The
Fairbanks men cannot claim any of
the credit for supporting those two
west Kentuckians, because the Fair
banks men were eliminated from tn.
district councils before the state con-
vention.
Deboe and Happy were given a
good licking in this county when the
men. who are now for Taft, were sup
porting Senator-elect w. o. Bradley
for delegate from the state-at-large.
The same crowd, that is fighting
Taft in the First district, opposed I'M
structions for William Mckinley. AL
ways that crowd would send the First
district and the Kentucky delegations
TO conventions to be given to the
best bidder. There Is only one COM
mon purpose in the Fairbanks, Can
non and Foraker candidates., and that
is to beat Taft. Anyone of them, or
any other that could prove himself the
strongest. could have all the delegates
these three could deliver in the con-
vention.
But thy can't deliver the goods.
Just as sure as there is a convention.
II VIII be Taft or Roosevelt. II there
is a deadlock and indications of a
combination, the delegates will STAN
pede to Roosevelt as certain as the
people live, and this convention is
going to be held in Taft city.

Our Mayor and the City Beau
tiful

The attitude of our Mayor Hon. George
B. Ward, toward the identifying of the
city of Birmingham has attracted wide
spread interest throughout the SOUTH,
and not only in the south, but the east
and west. He has ELECTED the admira-
ton of hundreds who applaud his idea
of adding every possible ornament to the
city to enhance its beauty, and also OF
requesting the cooperation of the women
in the movement, all of whom have re-
sponded most cheerfully to the call.
Long after his retirement from the pub
lie trust he now holds the name of George
B. Ward will be Synonymous with the
aesthetic and attractive appearance of
one of the south's most beautiful towns.
Among other comments on this subject,
a widely read Chicago paper under the
title, women In the World says
1.-THE women of Birmingham, Ala, have
been called on by Mayor George B. Ward
to assist in carrying out his plans to
beautify Birmingham. The Mayors plan
i is to form little organizations whose sole
business 1t will be to look after the inn
provement of the block on which they
live He believes that to make the move
ment effective it must be taken charge
of by women, as they are more inter-
ested than men and have better judg-
ment than men,"

The Real Truth About Sheath
Gowns

1t seems that the much talked of sheath
gown owes much of it's existence to
progressive Queen of Burmah, who lived
more than 200 years ago. The good queen
was greatly distressed over the dowdness
of the women's dress at that time, and
called in conference the wise men among
her people.
Mr. w. A. Fraser, the noted author, who
lived In the Burmese empire for many
years, talks Interestingly on the subject.
He says:
I'm this council of wise men the Queen
announced that If the women of the race
did not know how to deck themselves out,
or, knowing, did not care how they ap-
peared it was time for somebody to take
them in hand and show them the error
of their way. That, she contended, must
be the first step toward reform
Her majesty told the wise men that
from her observation the women appeared
only solicitious that their charms should
be concealed. All of their raiment was
made with this idea in view. This kind
of thing must stop, the Queen vowed.
The women of her race must take new
! tack and reform their dress, or she would
know the reason why.
AT that the good Queen deprived the
wise men of the council of their very
breath At a signal squad of Burmese
girls came f1uttering In, The magnificence
of their costumes dazzled the eyes of the
gray heads. 1t was a sort of primitive
pony ballet that the Queen had sprung
on them, and little wonder they gasped
in their astonshment.
1.-THE charms of the Burmese maidens
were not concealed-far from it. They
wore sheath skirts, and, at every step the
long vent in the cloth of gold of which
they were made served the purpose her
majesty expected of them.
"'Well, what. do you think of them?
the Queen asked, or should have asked,
If she didn't.
"'Great exclaimed the wise men, il
they had a single manly sentiment left in
them.
"Thereupon the Queen sent forth an
edict to the effect that these Burmese
| maidens should go out in the highways
and show her women how to quit being
the dowdies they were. She sdecreed that
the costume they wore-her own inven-
