squabbles than any other member. 1t
is through his vigilant faithfulness
that the Kentucky Press Association
has had such perfect life. Every
editor sings his praise and provides
meat for the watchdog
900
Charles Howard, editor of the Hog
genville Herald and John ID. Babbage,
editor of the Breckenridge News, are
the only editors in the association who
have edited a paper nearly thirty
years without shifting from pillar to
post. Both Mr.. Babbage and Mr..
Howard have stuck to the bush, and
it is hard to tell which has got the
more berries.
Among the guests entertained by
the Kentucky Press Association none
were more thoroughly enjoyed and
appreciated than Mr.. aud Mrs. Ridge
of Cincinnati. Mr.. Ridge represented
the A. p A., which is like a star in
the east to the newspaper world. The
Kentucky editors have been rendering
course of laudation to The Ameri-
can Press, the wonderful journal that
visits every office in the United States
each week.
A mans name that should be
changed is I. C. Underwood, of Hop
kinsville. 1t should be Topwood, for
he is always up and doing, and you
can't down him. If he can't come in
smiling himselfhe getsIthere by maxi
ing some other fellow laugh out loud.
Thus is President Underwood.

One of the most beloved presidents
was Mr.. Tim Needham, editor of the
Williamstown Courier, who gave up
the chair at this meeting. Mr.. Need
ham is one of the oldest as well as
the youngest members of the associa-
ton.
One of the mos beautiful acts of
kindness that took place during the
meeting was that of Editor Meacham
of Hopkinsville, nominating for pres
ident Mr.. Tom Underwood, his COM
petitor. Every member of the asso-
citation remarked Mr.. Meacham's I'M
selfish spirit toward the new presi-
dent.
One of the most popular men in the
association is a. d. Miller. Mr.. Miller
carries more than one load on his
shoulders, for during this meeting he
was elected president of the Eighth
District League.
The Kentucky Press Association
adjourned after one of the most sue
cessful-and enjoyable meetings in its
history.
Quite a debate resulted from the
introduction of a resolution declaring
III lawn VI SNhOOl oulil dSC III WOuGu
in Kentucky. Before vote was
taken the resolution was withdrawn.
When the election of officers for
the ensuing year.was taken up r. c.
Underwood, editor of the Kentucky
New Era, at Hopkinsville, was elected
president, A. d. Miller, of Richmond,
vice president, and Dan Bowman, of
Versailles, secretary.
The windup banquet given by the
Messrs. Riddle, proprietors of Estill
Springs, was asplendid affair and was
enjoyed to the limit by every one who
attended. Jouett Shouse, of Lexing-
ton, was POSTMASTER.

Death Before Operation Belief.
DR.. Clark, the county chemist. said
q Cannot tell yet whether the young
woman died from the effects of an
operation or succumbed while efforts
| were being made TO keep her alive by
artificial respiration. There is every
indication that the young woman had
been rpon the operating table. From
the examination made thus far, how
ever, the indications are that death
| came before the operation was per-

Un millions of pounds)

British exports of manufactured
goods in 1907 were about Il times as
great as those of the United States.
Yet America is the best and chief
source of the raw material.
The explanation is that plant and
materials are so dear in America, ow
ing to the high tariff rates, that the
United States is denied cheap proter-
tion. To produce cotton goods cheaply
not only cheap cotton is needed, but
cheap building materials and plant,
and cheap iron steel, leather and oil.
The American manufacturer is handi-
capped at every point by protective
taxes.
At the end of August, 1907, all the
world possessed about la 100000 co..
| ton spindles. So extraordinary is-the
British lead in the cotton trade, that
, at the same date the United Kingdom
possessed nearly 51,000,0G0 out of tht
I114.000,oC0 spindles of all the world.
England and other Nations.
How free trade England compare,
with other nations will be seen frou
