Responded to Request.

State Senator Thomas A. Combs
of Lexington, who is hold-over
and regarded as one of the Demo
cratic leaders of the Legislature
responded in person to a request
that he appear before a subcom
mittee composed of members Of
the Lexington Ministers Unior
and of the Anti-Saloon League
and was questioned as to his atti.
tude on the county unit bill. Rev.
Mark Coils was Chairman and
Rev. K. n. Simpson, Secretary,
but each decline to give out at
present for publication what trans
pired at the meeting.
From another member of the
committee it was learned that
Senator Combs made a statement
of his position, but the members
of the committee decline to be
quoted as to what Senator Combs
said at the meeting for the very
good reason that he made it plain
to them that he is not a prohibi-
zionist and not opposed to the
well regulated sale of liquor.
Discussing the matter, a we'll
known minister, who was present,
said:
Zone of the objects in having
Senator Combs appear before the
committee was to try to induce
him by argument and presenta-
ton of facts to change his atti-
tude as recorded in the last Legis-
lature on/the county unit bill, and
give the measure his support this
time, or if he could not consistent
ly do that not to fight it and to see
that his Democratic party associ-
ates do not fight it. What his an
swer was the public is left to con-
lecture, as | decline to be quoted
on this point"
1t is understood that the COM
mittee which Intercepted Senator
Combs will also interview candi-
dates as to their attitude on the
liquor question in the near future.
1t is stated that it is the intention
of the union to indorse only those
candidates who are in sympathy
with the suppression of the liquor
traffic.

Grand Jury Investigating.

At Frankfort last week Judge
r. L. Stout convened Circuit
Court in the Senate chamber of the
old Statehouse. He said in sub
stance:
Without expressing any opin-
ion as to the riot of ten DAYS ago,
l want to say that the news of the
happening was heralded all over
the country much to the discredit
of Frankfort and the State of Ken
lucky. However, from what 1
have been informed, the large ma
jority of those who participated in
in and were responsible for the
riot were people who did not live
in Frankfort. We are, or ought
to be, governed as a people by the
civil officers of the State and county
This is not a government of the
military-at least not yet. The
military are the servants of the
people and not their masters, and
whenever the soldiers engage in
any lawlessness they are not any
more exempt from civil investiga-
ton than any private citizen. A
soldier is particularly required to
uphold the civil law and keep the
peace, that is what we have the
soldiers for, and if they disobey
the law themselves they are more
culpable, if possible, than private
citizen would be. Investigate this
riot thoroughly and do your duty"
The remainder Of the charge was
as to the violation of the gaming
laws and selling liquor without Ii
cense, selling to minors, selling on
Sunday and to drunkards. He
called special attention to the crime
of carrying concealed deadly weap-
ons and said that nearly all the
crimes committed originated in the
carrying of pistols.

1t is not lawlessness or sin COM
mitted that disturbs some men,
but the fact that their deeds are
made known through the press.
If man is living right he has no
cause for shame and will have no
intention to have an editor NAL
treated.

AN OCEAN TO
 OCEAN CONTEST
Ford Machines to lh. Entcred in Cross Continent Run For the Guggrnheim TrOphy-Mr. Ferd Talks.

Henry Ford, Presiden, Of the Ford Motor Company, has announced his intention to enter two Model "T'' 20 h. D. cars in the Ocean to Ocean Con test for the Guggenheim Trophy. This announcement is interesting in view of the recent decision Of the Manll- -facturers Contest Assn. not to sane ton the contest. Speaking of the contest, Mir. Ford said:
 This is the first real contest ever promoted. It's the biggest thing ever pulled off in the history of the in lustry. It's the first opportunity given Americans to appreciate the real possibilities of the automobile After it's conclusion. the manufactur- erH will know more about building cars than they could learn in hun dred Of the common garden variety
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1909-04-18

Of endurance runs and the average every day buyer will learn more about cars than in a dozen years of ordin- ary events.
 The rules governing this race are the fairest ever devised and the men responsible for the mare to be con- graduated for their ability. The best car wins and that's more than can be said of the average race or con- test
 ''l'm going into this to win, of course, but there is, another rcason too. This race will show up the weak points of the car. When weak points are penalized, the observer may ne- glect to report thenl---f you ever took i'll an endurance contest" you know to what 1 refer.
 Il can see no good reason for with holding sanction. I'm surprised at the action. 1t seems to me every manufacturer having faith in his pro- duct would welcome this chance to- prove it. can appreciate why the man with a car which he felt wasn't particularly good, might condemn such contest but manufacturers of re- liable cars ought to be glad of the chance to publicly demonstrate their worth when off the paved streets Of their own town.
 And l feel that there will be abundant support rendered this con- test l'nt if there isn't anothtr el,- try. il therefore, the contest iS given up. there will be two Model 's'r" Ford Cars start from New York on June list. for Seattle
 Tt should be d stock ear cyput-- our cars will be stock car;. for we are enterin. to learn how to m: llt better cars. All tn s talk about I runs offer more racing than this con test. But the endurance run gives tcii lloulS to tIhN Il i've HOu" I1ut and so gives ample time for repairs. few of which are ever known to the judges. A pleasure trip? No. give me a time schedule every--score- perfect contest for that, but there's no pleasure in four thousand mile run across the continen
 s.But there's plenty of reason for keeping most cars out of such a con- test. The publication of the list of contestants will show what manufact- nrers have faith in their product. h. cidentally, it will prove how many makers of high priced cars are will ing to put them to the test against the low price, light weight cars we will enter. It's a test of manufact- urers' faith as well as car super iority.''
 The Ford cars are handled in Pine Bluff by T. A. Drummond and Com pany, who are showing beautiful 1909 model of that machine.

 For the Ladies

square yoke Of fine net set into the cut-out neck. The skirt is circular and perfectly plain, hugging the hips quite as closely as 1t does the figure above the waistline. The high skirt is met by deep trimming, rather than an actual bodice or heavy fish net embroidered in silk floss and fine silk soutache braid. This trimming have the narrow sleeves cut in one with it, the sleeves being finished at the elbow with deep, heavy silk fringe.
 Little bands of folded chiffon. the same color as the dress pass over the shoulders in tishu effect, meeting at the bustline in front under an im- mense rose of silver gauge with fob- tabs of dark silk braid on either side.
 The new fob tabs are quite the lat est detail for a bodice, breaking the conventional lines of a single rose or rosette trimming. They are made cf silk, braid or velvet, cut just about the length and width of fof watch-chain and finished with short fringe. Arranged ill simple effect tC hang carelpss,y on either side of a rosette or even flat trimmings, they are exceedingly effective.
 BIaids both of fancy wide kind: and narrow soutache, are seen in soft fashionable colors fer house dresses of all kinds: nor are they limited tt silks. cloths, etc Mercerizcl braid+ are extensively used in the embroi- dery of linens and fine lawns, from which the most entrancing lingerie frocks are made. The very fint French batistes require hand-embroi- deries, of course, but even with thosf the exceedingly tiny soutache braids are used making the loveliest gar. 1itlI IS imaginable.
 Soutache braided linen and clotl suits will be worn more than eyel this season and there is every shad. of silk and cotton braid to match 6 frock.
 Some exquisits linen bra:ds arc wide and heavily embroidered ill floss and cording: others are narrow witt a little line of crossed embroider. . on a satin ground or some bold ol silver motif introduced in embroidery on a plain band
 We are sure to have buttons again as one of the leading trimmings fol spring and summer. This is prove, by the fact that the smart shops are showing more new dc signs than ever the woman who keeps abreast witt fashions changes imagined there could be. The raised, braided var iety in all sizes and the flat pear buttons are the leaders for sunmcl wear. striking the keynote equally for those who like raised and fla trimmings. Big pearl buttons are t( be shown on linen suits and for coun try wear, the more immense the but tons the more in style they will be We simply have to have something O. exaggerated size so it may as wei be buttons as hats, or pockets.
 Khaki color holds it's stealfas course in trimmings aa we'll as mat erials. Next to the much-liked smoke color it is the most generally becom ing, and when trimmed with blact the nice yellowish brown shades art decidedly smart.
 There is beautiful brown domin ant among the spring shades, ant tender shades of green are out in at tl active variety, but the prefere net seems in favor of blue.
