meeting of the citizens of Carlisle
and Nicholas county was held Satur-
day afternoon at the court house in
this city for the purpose of taking
steps to raise Il fund by popular sub
scrlption of the citizenship of "Old
Kentucky" for the immediate relief

of his home six miles north OF this
city on the night Of March Z by

]. 3. Ross and i. 5. Hughes were
chosen chairman and secretary, re-
spectively, of the meeting and the
chair appointed a committee OF six
prominent citizens Of this county
TO be known as a Commhhte of Pub
licity and Solicitation. This commit
tee will Immediately arrange TO start
subscription papers to be presented
20 the citizens, who will be given an
opportunity 10 assist in relieving
the bcreaved family. They will also
take steps to give, through the press
of the State, as much publicity as
possible as TO the purpose OF the
fund in the hope that subscriptions
will be started and contributions
made TO this relief fund from all parts
of the Commonwealth,
Hedges left eight children. the old

est, an infant two years of age.
Hedges first wife. who was the moth
err of all these children. died almos.
two years ago, consequently these chill
dren are both fatherless and mother
less and are left to be provided for by
their twenty-year-old brother, Hedges
was also survived by Mrs. Annie
Hedges, his second wife. At the time
of his death, Hedges left "a small farm,
on which he resided, but was in debt
for it. Consequently, the first thing
the citizens desire TO do is TO free
the little home from debt for these
orphans so that they will not at
their tender age be rendered homeless
and be wholly required to shift for
themselves.
Subscription papers are being cir
culated on the streets here and the
citizens are already responding free
ly and literally.

OF A
WOMAN'S SPEECH
Brought FieryWords from
Governor Wilson.
THE LADY STOOD HER GROUND
And Defended the "Men Who
Wear Brown Jeans" in
Calm Tones.

Two persons not on the programme
meeting held under the auspices of
the Kentucky Law and Order League
at McCauley's Theater, Louisville,
last Sunday afternoon. One was Miss
NJ Alice Lloyd, cultured and refined
young woman of the Bluegrass, who,
according, 10 her own statement, had
come with heart full of ycarning for
the VICTORY Of 10000 of the best men
on earth In their heroic struggle
against the American Company" The
other was Gov Augustus Il. Wilson,
the head OF the State Government, and
the COMMUNICATIVE of the State
Guard
The cold cut >of the wOman's tongue,
charging in effect that the Governor
and his administration had betrayed
the tobacco growers, aroused all the
vim In the Chief Executives frame,
and his reply was full Of fire and en-
ergy.
Looking calmly into the faces of for
mer Gov. Simon .Doliver Buckner and
Gov. Wilson, Miss Lloyd said the
members of the' American Society of
Equity, although they wore brown
jeans" were the flower of Kentucky's
manhood and were the peers Of any
man in the audience or on the ros-
trum. Gov. Buclner and Gov. Wilson
were ON the rostrum, but that made n
difference. She said the Rev. Or. F..
L. Powell was coming as a physi-
clan tC cure disease concerning
which he had admitted to her he
knew nothing about. She said the
people Of Kentucky would want to
know the promoters Of the Law and
Order League, and they would ask
wht; her if all the law and order were
incorporated in men directors in cor
poratiors and attorneys for corpora
lions.
The Governor said Kentucky would
not permit even woman to make
sentiment for murder and arson, that
the night riders were an oath-bound
organization. He knew the oath, some
of the men,and Tat the culprits would
be brought to justice.
Miss Lloyd was cool and collected
Il, bcr rcunarlsc aud NVaS HEARTILY
cheered during her short speech by
those In sympathy with the tobacco
growers.
Miss Lloyd, who is a graduate of
the University of Chicago, and the
head of a girls seminary at Richmond
is one OF the most refined women in
Kentucky, and comes of one of the
States best families.

SHARP MOI" CAME
FROM THE CROWD
When Mr.. Bryan Referred
To Kentucky Affair
IN HIS SPEECH At RICHMOND
Takes a Whack at Embez-
zIerS of Power and De-
fines Their Acts.

William J. Bryan, speaking under
the auspices of the General Assembly
of Virginia, at Richmond, one night
last week, addressed an audience of
some 5000 people in the city auditor
ium. The members of the Legisla-
ture, State and city officials and
party leaders from all parts of the
State We're seated ON the rostrum and
Immediately around it. Lieut. Gov. j.
Taylor Ellyson presided and Gov.
Swanson introduced Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryen's theme was "Democra-
cy Applied" On the question of
law-making he said:
There is a difference between the
individual who acts for himself and
the individual who acts for others.
The first application of Democracy
concerns the duty of the representa-
tive. The individual can think as
he pleases and act as he pleases.
The representative thinks for others
and acts for others, not for himself.
We have the secret ballot at the polls
because it is nobody's business. We
have the public ballot in the Legisla-
ture because it is everybody's BUSH
ness how the representative votes.
There Is such thing as embez-
element of power" said Mr.. Bryan,
"and 1 believe the time will come,
when a man turns a public office to
private advantage, he will be whip
ped from society along with the EN-
bezzler of money. Just look at Ken
lucky. They elected a Republican Sen
ator there by the aid Of four DEM
ocratic votes" -.
At this point there came a sharp
cry of NO from the audience. Mr.
Bryan looked in its direction.
well, I'll not debate the question
with you," he shouted. They were
Democrats when they We're elected;
or, to be more exact, the people
thought they were Democrats when
they were elected. These four men
were either elected after the decision
at the primary or elected committed to
the party. No one would have been
elected to office If he had announced
in advance that he would vote for a
Republican. Not one would have
voted for a Republican if his constt
uents had suspected it. AS individ
uals they might have done so; as
Representatives they occupied a po-
sition OF trust and had no right TO
substitute their judgment for the
judgment of those who elected them.
There was no excuse for such betray-
al OF public trust. A Representative
has no right to substitute his judg-
ment for that OF the people, whose
voice should be supreme"

One of the most pitiful tragedies in
the history of the country occurred
Wednesday morning in the public school
of North Collinwood, a suberb of Cleve-
land, Ohio. The school contained be-
tween 80 and 325 pupils and l65 Of the
number were killed by fire and smoke,
or beneath the grinding heels of their
panic-stricken playmates. The tragedy
was due to the overcrowded school, doors
opening inward, and an inadequate fire
escape. The door from which they had
been accustomed to make their exit
opening inward, in the frenzy Of the
panic was closed by the children, 200 OF
more, piled against it, so that it coulc
not be opened, and with the flames 81
close upon them that they could not re
trace their steps-and there the most O
them died.
