Why didn't the committee on ar
engagements provide seat on the plat
form for James Hamilton Lewis OF Chi
cago?
1t must have been mere oversight,
and of course no mere oversight could
be allowed to keep the colonel from the
seat of honor which was his by right.
Nor did it.
Bowling and smiling, throwing kisses
from the tips of his gloves and grasp
ing the hands of his myriad friends on
the way from the front door to the
platform, the colonel marched up to a
seat in the front row back of the
chairman. He had no ticket for his
seat, but no sergeant at arms was
bold enough to impede his progress
The seat Mr.. Lewis took had been
reserved for National Chairman John
H Atwood of Kansas. Mr.. Atwood
came. looked for his seat. saw who
was in it, and retired without a muir

The tip had gone forth that the com
mittee on credentials was not ready
to report, and that nothing would hap

he lunched frugany on a cantaloupe
and a highball

DEADLOCK STILL HOLDS

The deadlock in the Legislature at
Frankfort keeps up. and every reason
that The Citizen gave last week for
ending the deadlock still holds. while
another strong one Is coming to the
front. 1t is clear that the legislature
will not do any good law-making
while the fight over the senatorship
lasts, and the best interests of the
state demand that some one be elect
ed.
Gov. Bradley is not showing MIN
self the man that Kentucky had Il
right to expect. lie Is holding out
to the last, tho 1t is perfectly clear
that he cannot be elected unless by
bribery, and for the sake of his poor
chance he Ia sacrificing the good Of
the whole Republican party and OF
the whole state The paper he con-
trolls, The Louisville Herald. has come
out with an editorial which simply
yells Hold on" without giving any
reasons for doing SO. II says that
there is a chance for Bradley. but
does not, and cannot. say where the
chance is. II IL just trying to keep
the men in line. for Bradley's good,
but for the harm Of the party and
the people OF the state.
Meanwhile. there are more and
more rumors that McCreary will soon
be elected by the Democrats. and

good that the situation holds for them

Bo0TLEeGER CAUGHT

Friends of good government in Be
rea will be glad to learn of the catch
ing and filming of a "bootlegger" here
last week. The man has been sus-
pected for some time, and finally a
trap was set for him. He walked
into it easily. and was caught red
handed by Marshall Tatum and 9TH
ers. When taken before Judge Gay
he saw that the evidence was strong
and on pleading guilty was fined $50.
Two other men who were implicated
with him were not caught but one
of them has been driven out of the
county and there is good hope of
catching the other. The Citizen with
holds the names of the men involv-
eG in the hope thet Il will make the
work for the officers of justice in
catching the other cuiIrit easier.
The case has been backed by the
Law and Order League, and it is
hoped win result in an improvement
in conditions at once.

POLITICAL NOTES
Sudden Change in New York Gives
Huges DsIegation-Tsft Not Fight
ing Faverite Sons-Foraker Losing.

There have been very quick
changes in the political situation
during the last week, and II is now
sure that Gov Hughes of New York,
will get the endorsement of his own
state. This, however, has come about
In such a way that 1t will not weak
en- Mr.. Taft, and in fact. 1t is chiefly
because of letter Mr.. Taft wrote. In
IL he said he did not want to pre-
vent any state from giving to her
favorite son the honor OF vote at
the National Convention. This, OF
course stopped the opposition to
Hughes In New York, and the men
who had beer for Taft turned right
around, However 1t will leave
most OF the "favorite sons" in such
position that when they find
out they cannot be nominated. they
will be almost certain to tell their
friends to vote for Taft, and so 1t
means his election sooner of later.
The hopelessness of Foraker's
fight in Ohio is showing more and
more clearly every day, and his best
friends are trying to get him to quit,
for they fear that he will lose the
hold he now has. but he has refused
to do So Many men he had de-
pended on have gone over and there
is no doubt, II there ever has been,
that Taft will have almost every
body in the state.
Kentucky Republicans will do
well to be on the watch, for there is
scheme on foot TO get ths state del
egates for Fairbanks, tho all the
leaders know that the state is for
Taft. There 10 danger that IN sf-

MURDER BY SICK PEOPLE

There is good deal of measles and small pox and
scarlet fever in this part of the country now and few
people to blame for most oft. 1t may have been
ignorance, and not exactly their fault and yet few
people have caused almost all of this Sickness and have
brought death into many homes-yes, and will bring it
into before the winter is
There was a time when people did not know about
diseases and SO could not prevent other people from
having them. But that time has passed. and now there
is no reason why there should be any epidemics and
such diseases fear worst could be stamped out in
short time if everybody would do his share There is no
medicine needed nothing but
All these diseases are caused by what is known
germs-little like animals that get into mans
system and eat him. There are good many different
kinds of them, and each disease has kind Of its
There is kind of germ for small pox, another for
measles, and And no can have these diseas
unless they get of these diseases germs into
themselves That is what we mean when say d.
sease is catching
Now these germs always have to be carried some
way from sick man to well one. If this does not
happen the we'll one will not get sick Every case Of
any of this kind of diseases comes from some one. If
he doesn't give it to you, you can't get It,
man cannot protect himself from germs, but the
that has them keep other people from getting
them He knows he has them, and he knows that every
time he touches another person he likely to give that
disease to that person If he stays at home, in
hospital he will give to anyone except those that
come to him, and then it will be their fault. But
if he goes about he may give dozens of people that
cannot protect themselves. Every will be his
fault and any dies he will be justas much muir
derer if he had poisoned well. If with such
disease goes home instead OF going to hospital he

and he responsible for every that is caught from

This is well recognized that in many places

And after the disease is over, he may have the

be thoroughly cleaned before he lets any other person

and water not enough.
These simple things but may make difference
of hundreds of lives and they would the end of all

MONEY TALKS
How the Man Who Hoards His
Money Is Really THROWN
Part Of II Away.

Many people have money which
they are not using. Some Of them car
ry their money around in their
pockets. Others keep it hidden away
somewhere in the house or barn.
And then there are a few people
woo bury their money in a hole in
the ground.
But remember, boarded money is
never safe. For what one man bur-
les In the ground, another man may
come and dig up again. And holes
sometimes wear in pockets and barns
and houses often burn.
Such money as this is idle. II Is not
earning anything at all for the man
who owns It, And every one who
carries his money around in his
pocket or hides it away in an I'M
safe place is robbing himself every
day. For he is throwing away the
interest his money ought to be earn
ing for him.
The man who boards his money is
really wasting part OF it. And most
OF the people who waste their money
in this way are poor people They
can not afford to throw money away.
1t is kind of fun that costs too
much.
Why then do people hoard their
money and hide it away at home?
Probably because they do not know
that there is better way to save.
The better way is to bring the money
to the Berea Bank and Trust Com
pany, and take a time certificate for
1t.
Then the money will be safe. you
can get it whenever you want it, and
it win earn its keep. The only safe
place to keep money is in the bank

MORE TOBACCO RAIDS:-The
tobacco fight in the state broke out
with new violence last week. and
there has hardly been night that
there has not been some shameful
deed done. At Dawson a man was
taken from his home and whipped
for something which he denied do
ing. and a hotel was shot up At
Carlisle there was fear of raid, aud
a guard was SGT, but nothing hap
pened, while at Bath raiders were
driven off by gun fire. Wires were
cut in Christian County Sunday, so
that no help could be called for at
any town attacked, but there seems to
have been little other damage done
Meanwhile the peaceful army" men
on trial all got off, the court throw
ing out most Of the indictments. The
facts were proved. but the judge
held that they did not make crime.

any crop next year is growing, and
many growers have signed papers
promising not to. There has been
bill introduced In the legislature
which will do the work, for It pre-
vides for tax of $50 on every acre
of tobacco planted.
HARGIS PAYS UP:-Judge Har-
gis has paid the last of the judge
ment against him in favor of Mrs.

the coolest day of the winter so
far in this state, the Thermometer

100000 FOR BEREA
BIG slFTIo COLLEGE BY CARNEGIE
He Pledges Half Of Adjustment Fund
Needed to Provide School for Col
cred.

ottas
One OF the happlcst days Bersa has
known In years came last Saturday
when word was received from Pres
Frost that Andrew Carnegie had
pledged 100000 OF the 100000 fund
which the college Is raising TO pro-
vide for the coiored branch OF the
school made necessary by the Day
law. which drove the negroes from
their rights here. The telegram from
Pres. Frost came early in the morning
The news spread In few minutes.
and soon there was rejoicing among
all the friends OF the college.
A praise meeting was held In the
college chapel in the evening. and
speeches were made by several OF the
college people Prof. Dodge told Of
the early days. and the coiored peo-
Plies share In the school. Mr.. Cren-
shaw, a colored graduate. told what
the gift would mean for the colored
people, Treasurer Osborne spoke OF
tho previous funds which have been
raised by the college. Stanley Frost
spoke a little OF his fathers work
and purposes. and Prof Dlnsmore ex-
pressed his opinion Of the great thing
that had been done In getting 30 much
money. Or. Thomson presided at the
meeting. and there was music by
the orchestra and the Ariel Quartet
Mr.. carnegie's gift is conditioned
on the colleges completing the fund
OF 100000. over $4,000 OF this has
already been promised. so there Is
every expectation that the rest will
soon be raised. and the oolorcd school
Is regarded as certain. Besides pro-
vidlng the funds for this school the
$500. 900 will release 100000 which
the school here has been unable TO
use since the Day law went into
effect
This school Is intended TO replace
the opportunities which the colored
people lost here ia Berea. The whole
,l00. 900 will be spent in grounds. and
buildings and furnishings. and In en-
sowment so that the school win have
a sure income 10 begin on. II is
hoped that other gifts win soon en-
large the work. The school viii be
built along the lines OF the great sue
ecsssui colored schools. such as Hamp-
ton and Tusseegee. and will do all IL
can to help the colored race.
IL has not yet been decided just
where the school will be located. and
probably there will be no decision
TIL the next meeting of the college
trustees. The plan Is to put IL in
some place where II will be easy for
most OF the colored people OF the
state TO get To IL, and where at the
same time land can be had oheaply.
Pres. and Mrs. Frost have been In
the East for several months working
on the raising OF this fund. and this
gift has come as great help to them.
Their work has been very hard and
unpleasant because OF the hard times.
They do not expect TO get back here
for six weeks or so yet. and may have
raised a good deal more OF the $780,
600 by that time.
