The Democrats Of Kentucky are being
showered with advice from outside the
State to break the legislative deadlock
by ~electing Henry Waterson to the United
States Senate. 1t is a remarkable tribute
TO a man who has long been an ornament
to the newspaper profession. What Mr..
Watterson would say to such a proposal
no one apparently has aiken the trouble
to learn. He has more than once declined
to stand as a candidate for office when
1t involved the hardships of a campaign.
but this he might consider a different
proposition. Mr.. Watterson as a Senator
would be a credit to his State. and a ut
companion to the other grand old men
who have represented the Southern people
at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Plain Dealer.

Two Noble sons of Connecticut.

1t is a coincidence that on the day after
the death of Edmund Clarence Stedman,
Connecticut born and journalism-bred,
should occur that of Charles Emory Smith.
He also was born in Connecticut. He also
came to prominence in the comprehensive
school that trains so many able men,
that of journalism. He has received high
honors from his country, and has deserved
thcm all. His position In the world of
journalism, where he had the honor to
serve In his declining as well as his early
years. has been his browning honor, and it
is the world of journalisms which is, after
all, a high enough world for. any mans
ambition, that will most keenly miss him.

in Southern Illinois, where a man just re-

implied throat that IL any Of The
notes were withheld the plan would
be allowed to lapse, The alternative
would be q reccIvcrship, In view Of
the fact that the majority Of the ma

hands Of those favorable to tho plan
and that, being unsecured. the notes
would fare badly under n receiver

the plan were considered good, either
by belated assent of outstanding note
holders rather than force receiver

inclination TO extend the movement.
Bears were timid about attacking the
market from fear that final success
on Wednesday for the effort to Sc
cure exchange of the old Erie notes
for new would prove a new stimulat-
ing influence of the market. The
prospect of the official government re-
port on condition of the winter wheat
as of April LIST, to be published on
Wednesday was another factor tend
ing to deter market operations to that
dae. The stock market was held al
most In suspended animation through
out the day as u consequence of these
considerations. The price of copper
made some recovery in London and
the effect was good on the group of
copper industrial stocks. The per-

should see that the moon is a brilliant

in it's direction at the rate Of millions

For after all, humiliating though the
