CALLS ATTORNEY

4 ABUSES COUNSEL
JudgeIHart viii Have no More
Villificati0u by Orators in
Cooper Trial.
Attorney General Says Car
mack Did Not Shoot.
WASHINGTON JUsTIFIEs ACT|

Nashville, March 11.-Slightly sub
dued after being checked twice for
engaging in bitter personal attacks
on counsel for the state, w. II. Wash
ington today resumed his speech to
the jury In defense of the Coopess.
Judge Hart Is determined to stop the
invective which has marked all the
speeches so far.
Washington declared Carmack
made Cooper the butt OF his ridicule
because Cooper was drifting away
from his banner. He said Robin was
justified in shooting to protect his
father.
Robin Cooper's Wound.
Two things stand out in the de-
velopments in the Cooper-Sharp trial.
One is the theory of the state as t.
the wounding OF Robin Cooper. The
other is the defense.
The state announced through At
torney General Garner that 1t would
contend that Colonel Cooper fired the
shot which wounded his son, and that
wildly. Garner first declared that Il
would be a physical impossibility fol
Carmack to have shot Robin Cooper,
as the Coopers swear he did.
Next he declared that the reason
able solution Of the problem was that
Colonel Cooper opened fire on Car
mack, as Mrs. Eastman believes he
did, and that the bullet from his pis-
tol struck telephone post, was de-
fieeted and entered Robins shoulder.
He contended that this theory is cor
roborated by the course OF the bullet,
which penetrated the flesh only an
inch and a half and failed to strike
bone.
A 3S-caliber bullet fired point
blank at a range OF three or four
feet. Garner contends. would have
gone deeper In the flesh than an inch
and a half.
IL became evident from the argu.
ment of General Washington, of the
defense, who followed Garner. that
the defense proposes to rely strongly
upon the plea OF justification as we'll
as upon the plea OF self-defense.
Meeks paved the way for 1t in his
argument when he came out boldly
in favor OF the application of the un-
written law to editors, and declared
that the murder of Carmack by the
Coopers was not the first time a
Nashville editor had been slain for
criticising some one.
Washington did not take such a
decided stand, but he devoted the en-
tire two hours Of his argument to a
denunciation OF Carmack. He had
not finished his argument when court
adjourned.

If Bond is Not Made by March

Globe Bank and Trust Com
pany Wins Suit on Note.
WEST POINT BANK is LIABLE

In his decision, Judge Walter Ev-
ans gave the bondholders in the bank
ruptcy case Of the Register Newspaper
company until March II to make
bond Of $4,000 for a review of the
case. The newspaper was purchased
several months ago by K. j. Paxton
at public auction. If the bondholders
make the bond, Judge Evans will set
the sale aside and will order e. W.
Bagby, referee in bankruptcy to hold
another sale Of the newspaper. Should
the bond not be made the sale of the
plant to z. ]. Paxton will be con-
frmed. A decision earlier this week
Judge Evans decided that the bonds
were valid.
Globe Bank and Trust Wins.
The court of appeals at Frankfort
today affirmed the decree of the Nc
Cracken circuit court in the case of
the Globe Bank and Trust company
VS.. the Kentucky and Indiana bank of
West Point. KY.
In December, 1908. W. b. Smith,
then president of the Globe Bank and
Trust company accepted a note from
the bank of West Point, of Mr.. Og-
den, then cashier of the West
Point bank, endorsed by Mr.. Roberts,
then vice president of the bank, for
$4,000, crediting the proceeds to the
bank. When the note matured It was
not paid, and the Globe bank charged
ii to the count Of the West Point
bank. In the meanwhile the cashier
of the West Point bank had abscond-
ed, and the bank objected to the note
being charged TO its account on the
plea that twas a personal matter Of
Roberts and ogden.
The court of appeals in the decision
confirms the decision of the lower
court that the accommodation was for
the bank OF West Point and the Globe
bank was justified in charging II to
its account. Judge Parks, and Bagby
& Martin represented the Globe bank,
and Hendricks, Miller & Marble, of
Paducah, and O'Mera & Jones, of
Elizabethtown, the West Point insti-
tuition.

Prohibition In the Constitution

It seems almost incredible that a body of 40 sensible men from all parts of this state, charged with rep resentative responsibilities will delib- erately vote at the dictation of the Governor or anybody else to put a hitherto unenforceable measure into the fundamental law just when they are endeavoring by statutes to make 1 it enforceable. This seems incredible indeed, and yet this is what the state. administration is trying to force the legislature to do.
 This effort seems to he based on a popular mistake, namely, that con stitutional proposition is conclusive and would not be resisted. This is an erroneous idea pure and simple. A constitutional enactment is no more enforceable than statutory enactment not a whit more. Both must have der to become enforceable. This is set tied American doctrine and American practice The 36 framers of the fed 
 eral constitution had no confidence in the plain people and they took away from them the choice of their presi- dents. The people almost at once re- pudiated the proposition, taking the election of presidents into their own hands and turning the electors pro vided for in the constitution into obedient dummies. So 1t will be as to United States senators. The peo- pie do not even stop to repeal the short-sighted, unpopular articles of the federal constitution. They simply ignore them.
 And this is exactly what will oc- cur to the state constitution if sec tions are inserted in it that have not been brought within the range of prac- ticality-that lack the all needful pub lie sentiment in the cities of the state. To put proposition of that nature into the fundamental law would be the height of legislative folly. It would be as unwise as was the federal pro- vision committing to electors the choice of presidents, and it would as- suredly share the fate of the latter.

Travel Remedy Against Old Age

Mitchnikoff and his sour-milk rem edy against hurtful microbes has been discarded by the care-free aged man even of moderate means, and travel has taken it's place. Slippered ease stands discarded as the folly of a past age. and in its place we have the rubs of the road and the inevit- able table d'hote than can be found all the way from London to the heart of the jungle.
 Old age seeks relief from ennui in endless discovery and in the compan- ionship that is always at hand in the tide of travel This has gone to such an extent that some say the modern transatlantic travellers consist either of the young or of the old. The peo- pie in between are at home doing things, and there Is no one to travel except the very young or the very old.
 The latter once delighted in home ease, but that sort of life is consid- cred dull and time-worn. It Is also considered prelude of briefer stay in this world. There is an impression, whether true or false, that life can be heightened by travel, even to bet ter advantage than by following any plan of the scientists or physicians. The old plan of serene old age has really been abolished among the well. to-do, and the modern American has determined to remain either in active life or else to become a wanderer oyer the earth, and no country Is safe iron his inroads and his well-flled purse.
