Amid the bleak. icy deserts OF
Greenland the survivors of the recent
Inflated Arichsen expedition discover
ed a sight of majesty that solaced them
for months of darkness, tedium and
suffering. They found a crystal palace

Created by nature in a forbidding
wilderness. it frightened the eyes of
the explorers and awed them with un-
imaginable magnificence The dreams
of poets and the fancies of epic bards
were surpassed by this vision of cOlos-

endeavored to carry away for the
benefit of the jewellers in civilization.

More than a mile in length, the

tax Lloyd Georges red flag budget,
taking the name of the chancel-
Tor of the exchequer and the effect
it has on the people to be taxed.
Here we call 1t the tariff.
Lloyd George says he wants to
tax the rich for the benefit of the
poor. Aldrich and Serene Payne
profess no such high purpose.
But the effect is the same, as the
opposition both here and there are
quick to point out.
In England is a party which
wishes to raise money by tariff
They are angry because Lloyd

NO CRIME TOO
BAD FOR HIM

Intense interest was. shown by
the large crowd in the courtroom
during the opening speeches in the
Clein murder trial yesterday after
noon and last night. Preceding the
opening of the argument Judge
Webster had warned the crowd
that any demonstration of approval
or disapproyal of the remarks of
counsel would be fined as con-
tempt of court and the, courtroom
possibly cleared. In obedience to
I this injunction the points made by
the attorneys were received in 81.
lence and the best of order was
maintained during the afternoon
and evening.
Deputy Prosecutor Donovan, in
opening for the state, spoke for
two hours at the afternoon session
and again for another hour at
night. He was followed by Alex
Winston for the defense in an adj
dress of two hours duration. Mr.
Donovan followed the states case
step by step, placing emphasis on
the strong points made and dis
playing the states exhibits in Illus
tration of the different phases of
the tragedy. He asked the jury
which they were to believe, the
strongly condemnatory testimony
of the disinterested states wit
nesses or the contradictory denials
of Clein and Mrs. Douglas, who had
everything at stake on the out
come of the trial.
Donovan dwelt on robbery as be-
ing the motive that impelled Clein
to commit the crime, and placed
much emphasis on the begging let
tiers sent by Clein to May Randall,
to whom the deputy prosecutor ap-
pied some hard names, even after
she had favored the state by turn
ing over Clein's letters. Clein S
testimony in casting a cloud on his
birth was roasted in Scathing
terms as sample of his degen-
eracy. which caused the speaker to
remark that there was no crime
too black for man of such de-
PRAYED moral instincts as shown
by the defendant on trial for his
life
Attorney Winston in opening
placed stress on the doubt which
he claimed existed as to the guilt
of Clein, and asked the jury to ac-
quit the defendant if it were not
convinced on every particular that
the state had the right man. He
attacked the motive of robbery put
forward by the state, and said that
II was unreasonable to think that
a man would murder fellow work
man for a few dollars, graphic
phone tool chest and a bicycle.
! If robbery was the motive for the
crime, why did Clein overlook the
$40 in the dead mans vest pocket
when he knew how much money
Saudawski had?
Attorney Winston asked the jury
not to convict Clein because of
his bad record morally or because
of the numerous names assumed
by him, as these circumstances had
no relation to the murder The
speaker roasted the repeated ex-
aminations of Clein by the states
officers. whom he referred to as
sleuth hounds. and remarked that
the fat fees drawn by the states
array of medical experts account
ed for much of their interest in
the state.

JNo. C, DUFFY

John C. Duffy, the Democratic
nominee for county attorney. is the
only Democrat filling a county Office
in Christian county at the present
time. In the hercely fought contest
of 1905 he defeated the present
County Judge, c. o. Prowse, by one
majority for county attorney. His
record in Office for four years has
been one that brought MIN a re-nom-
ination without opposition and
should meet with hearty endorse
ment from the people.
Mr.. Duffy was born in West Vir
GINA ia 1865 and has reached his
present position of prominence and
influence by his unaided efforts. In
1892 he graduated from the Univer-
sity of Nashville and soon after
wards came to this county as teach
er. He taught two years in the
county schools and two years in
South Kentucky College, reading
law during the time in all of his
spare moments, and was admitted
to the bar in 1886 He did cam
paign speaking in the hot fight OF
that year as a Democrat at a tim,
when many of the prominent mer
were DESERVING the party on the fret
silver issue. The next year he RAJ
for representative and came within
a few hundred votes of being elect
ed. He devoted himself assiduously
to the practice of law for the mex
six~years and in 1908 ran for Com
monwealth's attorney and iovelope,
surprising strength in every county
by his ability AS Pm effective cam

who succeeded in overcoming th
