1t is said that Hon. Ruby Laffoon, OF
jacksonville, may enter the race for
the democratic nomination for Governor
of Kentucky.
Judge s. W. Hager, of Ashland. the
democratic nominee for governor in the
last campaign, is endeavoring to pur-

Rockcastle Democrats nominated T.
J. Hayes for County Judge and William

WAS A QUORUM PRESENT ?

IL is claimed on good authority that
the action taken at Louisville chang
ing the membership of the campaif n
committee and its location from Lex
inyton to Louisville was irregular and
void, since only four members of the
State Committees were present when
it requires seven of each committee to
make quorum, not counting the chair
man. Mr.. Woodson May, the member
from the 18th district, who was not
present nor was he notified to be, is
Onaking inquiry as to the status Of what
he regards as snap action and to that
end has addressed Secretary Phillips as
to the facts. 1t looks very much that
the slick work was for the purpose of
giving the whisky element of the party
control of the committees and to en-
force the statement of Editor Waiter
son that democrat can not be pro-
hibitionist. The excuse for the action
at Louisville was to help the local DEM
ocrats elect their ticket. The reason is
a laudable one but does not warrant ir-
regularity or disregard of the party
law. Every good democrat desires the
success OF the nominees Of the party
for the municipal Offices in Louisville
and is anxious to see the metropolis
Of the State redeemed, but the party
law must not be dsregarded and sharp
practices worked. As Editor Beckham
says in the State Journal. if the action
was taken with the intention of COM
hitting the party to the liquor interests
it was grievous political blunder or
crime. and that If this purpose should
be contaminated, it would only result
in disaster. The masses of the party
to-day believe in allowing each individ-
ual to express his personal views upon
the prohibition question without party
dictation, and neither the Louisville
democracy or its leaders, have the right
to demand or expect that the party in
the State will accept the doctrine that
mo prohibitionist can be democrat.
To do SO would invite and insure defeat.

Courage at Every Stage

How and why the Florida rammed the Republic amidships we will not know until the investigations and judi cial proceedings are ended, but we do now know that no man after the ships came together failed to do his duty. The Florida was seriously damaged in the bow, and yet she did not try to escape to the port. She stood by and finally took off all the passengers of the Republic.
 And on the Republic all were heroes from Captain Sealby to the last man in the forecastle. There was order, cour- age, unselfshness throughout the ship When the boats were lowered the women and children went down the ladder first, and in the meanwhile Jack Binns, the wireless operator, was call ing for help and the fourth assistant engineer was getting rid of the danger ous head of steam in the boilers.
 It was a case of rare good manage ment, rare courage and rare helpful ness at sea in a dense fog. Science came to the aid of the crippled Florida and the sinking Republic. The wire less did what courage could not alone cope with. The story of Jack Binns and Captain Sealby surely will stay with us, and perhaps a poet will yet tell in undying lines how Binns stayed at his key and Sealby went down with his ship.

board to investigate the benzoates. That board decided that food soaked in the benzoate of soda is not hurtful, and yet it is safe to say that not a member of the Remsen board would eat food preserved in that way.
 Two results are apprehended. Dr. Wiley may resign, and this would be a misfortune to all who desire pure foods, for he has done more than any other one man to carry the pure food law into effect against all sorts of spe- cial interests. He has stood like stone wall against all forms of pre- servatiyes and adulterants. To permit him to be driven out of the public ser vice by scheming and selfish manufac- turers would be a misfortune indeed.
 The other trouble to be apprehended is a flood of benzoate goods. Flour too, bleaehed with nitrogen peroxide would reappear, and all the gains to the consumers through a rigid enforce ment of the pure food law would dis appear. While Dr. Wiley remains at the head of the bureau of chemistry he will continue in some way to curb the scheming manufacturers of food products, but if they can procure his resignation they will act without re- straint and without much limit in their selishness. Dr. Wiley is, in fact, the key to the pure food situation.

MT. HarrimaD'S GeOreia Plans

In his recent tour of Georgia E. H. Hartman distinctly promised that he would spend $10,000,00O in modernizing the Central Railroad of Georgia, pro- vided the people of Georgia will cease their hostility to railway interests. Georgia is willing to quit hostilities- in fact, has quit, for has not Little Joe" been elected governor?
 MT. Hartman had not word to say about taking over the Seaboard, but he did discuss at every opportunity his plans concerning the Central Railroad of Georgia. He stands ready to ex- pend $10000,000 in improving the lat ter railroad, always provided the state of Georgia will repeal some of its anti corporation acts. This really raises a great moral issue-can state afford to be bribed in this manner? The election of Joseph M Brown to the seat now filled by Gov. Hoke Smith is gratifying to the railroad magnate, but he seems to want some repeal acts at the hands of the legislature next sum- mer To get them he hangs up a tempting purse of $10,000,000.

Regardinq Neckwear.

"As a rule men in American cities are better groomed than those in Europe, al- though in the matter of neckwear for eingers frequently display better taste than We do,' said a traveller.
 'Women naturally have more taste than men but there is no excuse for a man not giving some attention to his scarfs and ties. The majority of young men. however, in their purchases in neckwear are governed chiefly by the prevailing fashion, utterly regardless of their own color or complexion. A man of blonde complexion will often wear a flaming red four-in-hand, when such should be worn only by man of dark complexion; and just as often pronounced brunette wears blue scarf, which makes his face look ashen or death-like. As for green ties very few men look well in them but nearly everyone is wearing green to- day because it is the fashion.
 ''It is all right for Irishmen and the friends of old Ireland to wear green on St. Patricks Day; but on other days green becomes only few. Now this may seem contrary to the laws of aesthetics, for green is a fundamental color that is sup posed to look we'll everywhere and on everybody. But it is simply one of those cases where theory and practice fail to agree"

 This company has always had great faith in Birmingham as a show town. and now we are beginning to reap the re- wards of much faith. We have played to standing room on numerous occasions since we reopened, and I believe we will continue to do so with the class of vau- deville we are sending to Birmingham. Plenty of pretty girls, clever comedy and the best novelty and acrobatic acts will compose our bills hereafter.
 Our company is in better shape now than ever before to give high-class vau- deville. We are getting the best acts off the Orpheum circuit, and by special arrangements sending these features to Birmingham in addition to our regular of- fering each week. For instance, next week we will offer Zobedie, who will slide from the roof of the theatre to the stage on his hands, an act that no one else in the world has ever accomplished. Of course, I am delighted with our success since the reopening and hope it will con time II

MICS NIELSEN AND GRAND OPERA
Chicago Critic Says Her Dreams Have
 Made Money for Fritzi scheff.

Amy Leslie in the Chicago News
 Alice Nielsen has been here for a week
 Dear, wonderful little songbird. What is
 the use to have voice like hers in
 throat so trim and attractive as hers un- less both are on expensive exhibition all the time? Alice ought to be shoveling money into her coffers these days instead of dreaming rare exotic dreams about a career which takes more time than Alice has to waste and more brute strength than she can ever command and more money than any of us have to spend on fame hunting. If Alice had so little sense there was nothing left for her but grand opera she might folderol along bewitch- ingly until something opened up and swallowed her for a season of classical music But here she is the one and only creature at all like herself A but terfiy with the song of a nightingale in her heart and throat, a Malicious come- dienne, dainty person of gifts delicate and wonderful. somebody the world wants badly, but she is hitched to a distant hazy star and travelling with kneeboots and hobbies, with her eyes fixed upon the dazzling ultimate. There is nothing to it, Alice. Fritzi Seheff has corralled a lot of your money while you have been waltzing with Queen Nab. Come out of it awhile and then you can take your halluclnations carefully packed in bank notes down into the Riviera and build a castle of gold and crystal, and give your own opera to kings and queens and two spots if you like, but stay here and reap your own harvest now. It is still waiting for you, likely.
 Alice looks sad and ethereal and has a palpitating, wounded note in her pretty, speaking voice, but she is obstinate as d little squeaking Berkshire and has ambi- tions immeasurable and glorified by years of inspired study. She sings beautifully enough to have grand operas written for her, but they have all been written, and poor armies of loving, hoping, glowing songsters who live in the holy clouds of unfulflled promise grow grander, more angelic and less able to pay their bills every day in the cycle of years. It is a measly, scampish, low down way to look at it, beautiful diva, but, the fact of the matter is, bird in comic opera is bet ter than two in trance.

Payment of Poll Taxes

At least 10000 male citizens of Jeff ferson county should pay by or before Monday evening next the poll taxes assessed against them in order to pre- serve intact their electoral privileges. Less than one-half of that number have paid poll taxes and the indica- tions are that the qualified list of voters will be still further reduced As things are going under the unrea- sonable suffrage qualification of the constitution of 1901 Jefferson county will soon be in the hands of it's elder statesmen. It will have more to the acre than even Japan has.
 Because 1909 is non-political year is not good reason for refusing or neglecting to pay the years poll taxes. No one can vote in 1910 unless his poll tax for 1909 has been paid, for poll taxes are cumulative so far as voting is concerned. They should not be, but they are, and every citizen should govern himself accordingly.
 Remember that on Monday evening next the books will be closed so far as voting is concerned. This is the last call.
