New Phone No. 81.
SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1909.
MARCH q AS A BAD DAY.

In view Of THURSDAYS weather at
Washington, a revival is probable of
the movement to change Inauguration
day from March 4 to April 30. 1t
was upon the latter date that Wash
ington was inaugurated in New York
in 1889, and the weather was ideal.
OF thirty Inauguration DAYS in March
fourteen have been unpleasant and
thirteen pleasant, while no definite
record was printed of the other three.
Three years ago national commit
tee seeking to change the date after
the ceremonies of 1909 enlisted the
sympathies of the Governors of for
ty-one States.
1t appears from the records that
jefferson, Monroe, Lincoln, Cleveland
and Mckinley had bright days for
their first inaugurations and bad days
for their second. Madison was for
tunate on both his occasions. Grant
went into office the first time on a
damp, dismal day; his second acces-
sion was marked by the coolest in
auguration weather of record, the
mercury falling to four degrees above
zero. For Mr. Harrison, in 1889. a
March 4th snowstorm was interpol-
ated into four days rain. The sun
shone all day for Mr.. Roosevelt in
1905.
March 4 is an accidental date for
Inauguration. 1t had been provided
by law that the Presidential electors
should meet on the first Wednesday
In January. and that their votes
should be canvassed by Congress on
the first Wednesday in February.
Installation of new Government on
the first Wednesday in March afford
ed the logical completion of Sc
quence Of events, and as the intended
day in the first instance happened
to be March 4, that date was suisse
-quently fixed for Inauguration. Mon
roe on his second election, Taylor and
Hayes were inaugurated March 5, the
regular day occurring on Sunday.
Had 1900 been leap year, Mr.. Roo
sevelt in 1905 would have been added
to the March Presidents.

Action of the MAGNETIC Needle.

The magnetic needle comes to rest
pointing north and south because the
earth acts as if it were a great mag
net. A compass needle would come to
rest pointing lengthwise of bar mag
net placed under the compass needle,
just as it does under the influence of
the earth. For this reason we think Of
the earth as a great magnet. The
north pole and the north star have no
influence over the compass needle.

BILL BRADLEY'S CAMPAIGN HAT
Air Aud Lang Syne.

This song was composed for and
sang ON the Bradley Special on the
trip to Washington.
Ere clouds of war oppressed the
morn
I'm the Old Kentucky Home,
An humble dark eyes babe was born
Her champion and our own.
This lowly youth for books and
school
Had rocks and brooklets feet,
The gentle hand and Golden Rule
OF mother fond and sweet
HUMANITY the lesson taught
He learned, no more would beg,
It's symbol odd with memories fraught
Is hanging on its peg.
A rustic, living, feeling thing
A battered, old white hat.
Here's to that battered, old white
hat,
Bill Bradley's campaign hat,
Wen doff our own in tribute meet
To 'Bradley's campaign hat.
When reconstruction evil corps
Preyed on the souls of men,
Our David, girt him as Of yore
To weld those hearts again.
Simplicity was his armor bright
His weapon was THE TRUTH.
AS up hill gamely went the fight
Led by this gallant youth.
lie thrilled the land from mountains
high
To rivers broad with hope,
"We've got 'em boys his battle cry!
''Sit steady in the boat"
And cen where fiercest waxed the
fray
Up went his banner, that Hat.
SO drink health to "Our David's
Hat
in the days when friends were few,
And quaff a cup to its comrades mute
In the days Of Aud Lang Syne.

Murder Cases On Trial.

''YeIlerca" Jeff Davis and Cal Mil
Ter were yesterday put on trial in the
Breathitt Circuit Court for the muir
der of Drew Bush, who was shot
while sitting in his home above town
last Christmas, the assassin firing
through a crack in the door. The
last witness introduced by the Com
monwealth was Or. G.. III. Hurst, who
identified the bullet taken from the
body of Bush This ball was of the
same calibre as the pistol owned by
Davis, as established by another wit
ness for the Commonwealth.
The case will probably be complet-
ed today and will be the fourth muir
der case at the present term Of
court, five others having already been
continued until the next term, and
seven yet remaining to be called.
The most important murder case
set for today is the Marion Adkins
case. Adkins was formerly from
Elliott county. lie was at work at
a lumber camp called Camp Christy,
nine miles from this city, two years
ago and Henry Lykins ran amuck,
Lylins while crazy with drink ter
nfed the whole population by run
ming into different houses carrying
gun and threatening to shoot. He
fanalIy shot into Adkins house, when
he latter shot and killed him.

Water and Land

The new president of the Irrigation
Congress. George +. Barstow, is in favor
of making the congress more scientific
gathering with less of agitation propo-
ganda. He takes position in favor of
better legis alton on water rights and
land ownership
Among problems demanding i'm
mediate attention. think that an irri-
rigation law should occupy a prominent
place. The relation of riparian rights
to priority rights is now and will be one
of the most troublesome questions that
the people have to settle" says Mr..
Barstow
1t was unfortunate that the govern
ment at its foundation did not under
stand something about the future Guilt
walton of arid lands and put the land
and water together, making them one
and insepera6le. and then to divide
the land into irrigation districts de
termined by drainage basins, and thus
insure each acre within given drainage
basin its proportionate amount Of water.
This would have saved millions of dol
lars worth of property and millions of
dollars Of expense in litigation.
AS it is, l believe we are slowly
trending toward this result, and either
cooperative State laws or Federal law
will eventually regulate the water sup
ply; not by the riparian rights nor by
the priority right, but by the equitable
distribution of water in the irrigated
districts
Another very important problem is
the water power of the streams in the
lrid region. Great companies are reach
ing everywhere to monopolize this water
power and put perpetual tax for its use
on future generations If there is a
natural resource that ought to belong to
the PEOPLE at large it is the water in
streams and lakes.
For domestic use, for irrigation, for
transportation and for power the states
in the west ought to see to it at once
that laws are passed to give the state alb
solute and perpetual ownership of the
water power of our streams. For while,
we are now looking to water for rri
CATION, i'll another ten years we will be
looking with much eagerness TO water
for mechanical power
