A STATEMENT

The Kentucky Anti-Saloon League
asks its constituents all over the com
monwealth to press the work in cir
culating petitions to His Excellency,
Governor Augustus f. Wilson. ask
ing for a special session OF the leg
islature TO pass the uniform county
unit bill. and not to include in the
call any such measures as the re-dis-
trictlng bill which would serve 10
embarrass the county unit measure as
did happen at the last regular session.
Our reason for so doing, in spite
OF the fact that His Excellency, the
Governor, has given expression TO
his unwillingness to do so upon in
formation conveyed to him through
newspaper reports OF our intentions
ia the matter OF the petition are
as follows:
/. We have not yet had an oppor-
tunity to present to Governor Wilson
OuI pctiliOub anu Tue bfOuuuo We
have for asking for an extraordinary
session of the legislature. We have
strong hope that when we can form
ally get our case before him that he
will give 1t favorable consideration.
We are aware of the governors will
ingness to give one weight to all the
light We can throw upon the question
we will submit to him. and we have
such confidence In his fairness In not
prejudicing the matter In advance of
our presentation to him. that we are
emboldened to carry forward the task
OF preparing our petitions and argu-
ments. We are confident OF such fair
and impartial hearing as he always
gives to other matters claiming
rightfully the attention OF the execu-
tive.
2. Section 80 OF the constitution
gives the governor power to call the
legislature In extraordinary session.
This does not necessarily require an
emergency to exist, but such a state

The affirmative opened the debate
with the idea that In spite Of present
prosperity or the naturalness or the
necessity of some GENERALIZATION does
not change the fact that GENERALIZATION
has gone beyond the danger line. The.
emphasized that the danger might be
averted, that tendency may or may
not proceed to an effect. The affirm
alive laid down five best interests OF
the republic as fundamental and well
established. They are these: national
and local affairs should receive care
full attention; the three functions OF
government, legislative. executive and
judiciary, should be exercised indepen-
IDENTIFY: power should never be CEN
tralized In the hands of few indivi-
duals; the dual form OF government
should not be impaired; the constitu-
ton should be held inviolate. Each
OF these principles has been violated
to a certain extent, the affirmative
held even to the point of danger. To-
day serious issues are not given care
full consideration In Congress because
the federal government is being over
loaded. The three functions are being
confused, the president dictates 20
Congress and criticizes judges, the
courts exercise executive and legis-
lative power in abuse Of the right to
issue iniunctions. Power is passing
into the hands of the Speaker, a few
committeeman, small commissions and
the president Overlooking the federal
government unbalances the dual sys-
TEN. The government is gaining by
implied powers to an unjustifiable ex-
tent. While at present the results
are salutary, each contains significant
elements OF danger to the welfare II
not the perpetuation OF the republic.
The negative took the following
POSITION
The words GENERALIZATION" and
dangerous" were first defined, a
distinction being made between leg
itimate Capitalization. and illegimate
Capitalization, or usurpation. Danger
Gus, was defined as involving a COM
parison OF the good and the evil of
this tendency. since all forms OF gov
eminent are more or less imperfect,
the element of danger being always
present. From this standpoint the
question would be non-debatable. be-
ing a matter of fact instead OF an
open question.
Upon this foundation the negative
developed their line of argument. hold
ing that the tendency toward cen
tralization OF power In the Federal
Government was not only not danger
Gus, but was actually beneficial 10
the best interests OF the republic:
first, because 1t is a natural tendency,
since IL is in direct repOnse 10 tue
popular demand for larger and better
national life, and is in harmony with
our territorial expansion. our social
and economic growth, and our pollti-
cal development; second, because 1t
is safe tendency, in that II does
not override the Constitution. has
proper limitations. and promotes the
POLITICAL welfare Of the republic; and
third, because 1t is a necessary ten
dency, since the great problems OF the
times demand 1t, by reason OF their
having an interstate or national in
terest which the states absolutely can
not handle, and which demand the
assistance Of the federal government.

BIG LAND FRAUDS.

Startling Information has come out
of big land frauds, which the govern
ment has unearthed and will prescott
If Congress viii furnish the necessary
funds. Secretary Garfield alleges that
in the last few years public land
worth s11O,OO0OOO has been stolen,
$4,000 separate crimes having been
committed He asks a million dollars
to prosecute these. 1t is beginning
to be whispered that 1t was In view
of these frauds that Roosevelt made
such a fuss over the secret service
appropriation. and that Congress, after
all that has taken place, will not dare
to refuse the money for these cases
II that is what happened. It shows
that Roosevelt has. as usual, come
out ahead in his little mlx-up with
Congress.

For the first time in several years
Pres. Frost was able TO be present
coming down from Louisville for the
occasion. He expressed himself as
greatly pleased with the debate as
well as the demeanor of the audience
and congratulated the students on
their showing.
The judges we're as announced last
week. Except that Jerre Sullivan OF
Richmond failed to come, and Supt.
Coates Of the Richmond public school
was chosen in his place.
The question as stated was:
RESOLVED: That the tendency to
ward Capitalization OF power in
the Federal government Is dangerous
to the best interests of the Republic"
The affirmative, held by Phi Delta,
was supported by d. o. Bowman, Char
ley Flanery and l.. L. Shadoin. Alpha
Zeta, in the negative, was represent

ton, which It hopes may be proved to
have been wrongful. Another means
of "spiting'' the President is to re-
fuse to appoint Assistant Secretary of
State Bacon to fill out Mr.. Roots
place for the last five weeks of the
Roosevelt administration. The Sem
ate is also to probe the alleged mono
polistic merger Of the Tennessee Iron
and Coal Company with United States
Steel by Mr.. Roosevelt's permission;
although 1t is not at all disturbed by
the disclosure Of the worldwide
powder monopolistic trust by the De-
partment of Justice this week.
RooSEvELT's LITTLE STUNT.
In the midst of all this hostility
and rancor Roosevelt did a charac-
terestic act last Wednesday. He
mounted his favorite horse at four
o'clock In the morning and with q
few friends went on a good long hors
back ride, covering 9s miles in
Virginia before his return that night.
Mr.. Roosevelt has instructed the
Attorney General to prosecute for
liebel the newspapers which charged
the government with dishonesty IN
the Panama Canal sale. The question
is raised as to whether liebel against
the government is not sedition, in
stead of being mere felony actionable
in law. At any rate the President will
make things lively for the papers in
question.
Mr.. Roosevelt showed his fairness
and his spirit of democracy last
Thursday by receiveing at the White
House a party of leaders of organized
labor including Gompers. Mitchell and
Morrison. He joked with Gompers
about the way the latter had been
jolted by him in the recent election.
In this connection II is interesting
to note that Gompers. Mitchell and
Morrison will not ask for pardon fror
their prison sentences. IL report S
true. but will prefer to pose as martyrs

there is a breach between Taft and
Roosevelt. Taft is not appointing

that one do, SO we kept it, shaking her
up most every day for something like
a year until finally it got 10 be so tire
some that we mustered up courage
and bought a new clock. -.
And then I did little figuring. In
the course Of year I had spent an
average Of five minutes a day shaking
up that old clock on, say, 300 days,
making, to save the cost of new
clock, gross total of time spent
amounting to 1900 minutes. You d.
vide this by 80 and you find that had
spent in shaking up that blessed old
clock little more than 25 hours!
Now, in the way of income, you
know, I don't pretend to class up with
the Rockefellers and Carnegies and
IhAI ooiI vi lOiho, DuI figuring my
earning capacity OH the modest basis
of SO cents an hour I find that I have
spent in shaking up that miserable old
ticker time to the value of $3.50! And
the new clock cost only 60 cents!
of course, buying the new clock
when we did instead of year sooner,
we saved the wear on it in that
period, and if we count the life Of
such clock at say ten years we find
that we Lave thus saved about seven
cents worth of wear Oh the new clock
and this, properly, of course, should be
deducted from the $3.50, but even at
that, in the best showing possible we
find that to save 60 cents we have met
with a net loss Of $12.43, to say moth
ing of the wear and tear on us caused
by the aggravation of having tc shake
the old clock up every day and make
1t go!
I'VE had been, as in so many ways
we are prone 10 be, penny wise and
pound foolish, but we are learning
wisdom and We baTen't got to shake
the old clock up any more, anyway"
