In Memory Of Joe Maddox.

The 18th day of April, 1908, a neigh
Dor with sad and aching heart whis-
pered: Joe Maddox is dead" He
died at Hopkinsville some time ago.
Joe's mind became very weak on &C
count of bad health, and his friends
look him to the asylum for medical
treatment, hoping for his speedy re-
covery. His mind and health grew
weaker until death came. God give
back to Joe in his last hours his right
mind. He said to his nurse; "Wha-
will become of my little children"
Then God relieved him of his pain
and he breathed his last
Joe was only 20 years of age, just
in the prime of manhood; when God
called him away. He leaves a faith
er, mother, three brothers and four
sisters, young wife and two small
children to mourn. Joe lived a christ
ian life and was a member of West
Providence church at the time of his
death. He was loved by everyone
loved as neighbor, loved as "A friend,
loved as a schoolmate and a clasSmate
1t seemed that his life budded on
earth only for a few short days to
bloom in heaven. A FRIEND.

Here is Good Advice.

Miss Alice Lloyd gives the fol-
lowing good advice to the Louisville
Law and Order League, and the same
idea will work well in all other So
called law and order leagues:
do not put corporation lawyers
too far to the front as organizers and
speakers. They are unpleasantly as
socialed in the minds of the people
who have suffered from corporations.
1t is not what the lawyer may be in
himself, but the people. suspect him
of being that makes it expedient
that he take place in the ranks and
not in the lead in law and order leag-
ues that want the cooperation of the
country people-not directly interested
in some corporation, or the project
of some corporation. believe we
shall come 10 ourselves and take hold
Of both ends of this situation, but
let us not be too long about it. The
people weary with waiting"

las, have chartered the Hartford Fair
Grounds for Saturday, June 20, 1908,
at which time the two lodges win join

country, the American Tobacco Com
pany agreeing TO do no business in
England.
Not only did the men at the heads
of these companies control the tobac-
co, the prosecutor said, but they also
controlled the tin-foil industry, the
licorice outputs, the making Of paper
boxes and cotton bags in which to-
bacco is shipped. In a large measure
also they have controlled the ware
houses of the country. In the tobac-
co line the Wholesale jobbers could
do nothing against the trust, and he
gave instances of the manner in which
had been stifled. Ten
years ago there were about 100 indie
pendent jobbers in this chy.At pres

WHISKY MUST Be
THE REAL STUFF
After July LIST, in Order to
Get the Name.
INVITATIONS MUST BEAR LABEL
Whisky Must be Unmixed
With Other Spirits to
Deserve Name.

Secretary Cortelyou through the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
has promulgated the final instructions
to guagers and others regarding the
branding of distilled spirits, which
goes into effect on July /.
Uunder these instructions the in
ternal revenue bureau recognizes the
pure food act, and hereafter no whis-
ky will be so branded unless it is
really pure whisky under that act.
Heretofore, all whisky, whether
blended, artificially colored or aged
or mixed with other spirits, has been
marked whisky" on the barrels as
they have been filled and shipped
from the distilleries and places of
rectification.
Hereafter, what is known as
straight whisky, that is an article
that has been aged by time and not
mixed with other spirits, will be
marked whisky" and only that.
Blended or compounded whisky will
be marked on the barrel in letters at
least one inch long, burned into the
barrel, blended whisky"
A mixture Of whisky with alcohol,
provided there is enough potable spir-
its to make a real compound, and not
the semblance of one, will be marked
as a compound of" such and such
spirits, with the distillant with which
it is mixed.
Alcohol, commercial alcohol, or
high-wines which have been manlpu-
lated by the aid Of artificial flavors,
colors or extracts, or otherwise, so
as to resemble some particular kind
of potable spirits, will be marked with
the name of such spirits, preceded
with the word Imitation"
What a revolution this will make
in the business of rectifying or blend
ing whisky may be imagined when
it is recalled that most of the whisky
now sold is compounded, blended or
initiated within the meaning Of the
pure food act, and that after July
none of these products can leave the
place of manufacture without carry
ing a mark which will indicate to
the average mind that the spirits are
some inferior article.

Don't Try to Impose on Uncle Sam.

in spite Of the fact that a post-of-
flee inspector was in the city recently
for the purpose of investigating viola
tons of The postal regulations which
impose a penalty of $40 in every case
where persons are discovered sending
written matter in packages mailed at
third-class rates, the violations con-
tinue, and in the last four days no
less than four packages have been
held up by the local officials. In fact,
hardly a day passes without a viola
ton of the law being discovered. The
postmaster is required to make a re-
port of each violation and a fine of
$40 is imposed in each case.
When the violations are called to
the attention of the parties sending
the packages they admit their guilt
and plead ignorance of the law. The
law now requires that every pack
age shall be opened, and whether the
persons sending them vouch for their
contents or not, the packages are OPP
ened just the same, and their con-
tents examined 50 that it is impOssi-
BILE to avoid discovery. Even should
a package be allowed to pass from the
local post-office unopened it would be
opened at the other end, so that
person violating the law runs two
chances of being detected
1t is only within a very short time
that the postal authorities at Wash
ington have made it compulsory upon
the part of clerks to open packages.
In the past but little attention has
been paid to the regulation and In
many instances persons have escap-
ed detection, but with the strict scru-
tiny which each package is given to-
day, It is not safe for them to take
chance of being caught. 1t is far
cheaper to pay letter rate upon
package containing writing than TO
pay a fine of SO after being caught.
Every endeavor is being made to
put a stop 10 the violation and the
post-office authorities feel that it is
only fair that cases discovered should
be given the wildes. publicity Hav-

Iowa was in 1919, and established
the first army post west Of the Mis-

and later hard fighting in Florida.
1t was well represented in the war

was then steadily creeping Westward.
In the Civil War the Sixth Infantry
took part in many battles and incurr-
ed heavy losses. After that war there
was more Indian fighting, and recent
history has included service by the

of a hundred years proved TO be Of
inspiring interest to those who now
compose the regiment.

INJUNCTION FOR
TOBACCO TRUST
Urged by Attorney for the
Government.
ITS METHODS ARE CENSURED
Not Only Tobacco, but Other
Commodities Controlled
BY Big Combine.

New York, May 20.-Contending tina
the American Tobacco Company and
It's affiliated concerns are an illegal
combination which maintains a mo-
nopoly in restraint of trade, ]. G.
Reynolds, special assistant to the Fed
eral Attorney General, argued for five
hours before four Judges of the I'm
tied States Circuit Court. He urged
that the company should be enjoined
from carrying on interstate or foreign
commerce.
THE defendants" he said, Gin flag
rant disregard of the law, for many
years, with great success, have persist
ed in destroying competition, and
attempting to acquire monopolies. No
halfway measures will remove the re-
sulting evils.
I'VE submit that the court should
direct a idecree which will utterly
destroy the very foundation of the I'M
lawful structure. Either enjOin the
defendants or appoint receiver for
the whole business to undo the things
that have been unlawfully done.
with the fact that they have large
sums of money invested in their VEN
lures we have nothing to do, so long
as the public interests suffer and the
law has been violated"
Mr.. McRey nolds summing up follow
ed the taking of evidence by Unit
ed States Commissioner Shields, which
lasted for four months, and 1t was
by request OF both sides, in accord
ance with provision of the Sher-
man act, that Judges Lacombe, Ward,
Cox and Noyes sat as a court to hear
the arguments of the lawyers on both
sides.
Mr.. McReynolds said that six men
held the majority of the stock of the
American Tobacco Company, and had
been in possession of this stock all
through the various changes of the
companies. They were James B. Duke
Thomas F. Ryan, Anthony N. Brady,
PA. B. Widener, William L. Elkins
and Oliver II. Payne.
He insisted 1t was really the control
Of prices that made a monopoly, and
said that competition and not combi-
nation should be the law of trade. He
said monopoly was any unification
of independent interests by which
men, acting in concert, We're enabled
to create monopoly and added that
it was the control of prices that Con-
gress had aimedat in the Sherman act
He gave a history of the American
Tobacco Company and the companies
which preceded it, and of the social
cd "Amalgamation" of the American
Company with the Imperial Tobacco
Company of England.
The result of this, he declared, was
that the American Company could not
export a pound of tobacco from this
country, nor could the Imperial Com
pany send any tobacco outside its ter
ritory. The foreign company really
agreed not to do business in this
