THROWING THE BABY OUT OF
THE WINDOW.

In Cincinnati the other day a
mother threw her baby out of an
upper window. She meant no harm
to it. In fact she acted as mechan-
ically as any other machine. The
gasoline stove exploded, and in the
fright she rushed to the window with
the babe and hurled it out, to alight
on the stones, the pavement, on a
passing pedestrian or anything else
At qaht accounts the child was liv-
ing, though injured. Was the woman
to blame? No! She would have
given her life for the baby she threw
out of the window. What is the rea-
son, then, of such an unaccountable
act?
The reason lies in the facts back
of the phrase "any other machine
above. The woman was a machine
set in motion by the instinct of self
preservation, but still more by the
equally deep instinct of the devotion
of offspring. Woman so loves her
child that nature has set up in the
back of her head, her neck and spine

CAN, SIGNAL MARS
WITH $4,000, 600

Prof. William Henry Pickering,
Harvard's famous astronomer, claims
he can signal Mars if given money
enough. Only about S10,000,000 is
needed. July is fixed as the safe
time because the mighty planet then
will be 100000 miles nearer the
earth than ever before. Prof. Picker
ing is confident that Mars is inhabit-
ed and by a class of beings so in
telligent that they will recognize the
signals flashed from the earth and
make reply, and reveal mysteries
which mankind has been attempting
to unfold for years.

Alabama Sheriff Seized Beer
Stock of Brewery.

At Mobile, Ala, September 10
an inventory of the stock Of
"near-beer" and beer in storage at
the Mobile Brewery was taken by
Sheriff John 5. Drago.
State Solicitor Stallworth says
that the State will contend that
the law has been violated, and that
the having of the stock on hand
and the acquiring of the license is
the proof. The injunction alleges
that the brewery has offered for
sale prohibited liquors since Au-
gust 8, 1909.
The case will probably come up
for hearing at the October term of
the Chancery Court.
Three yats of beer and many
casks and kegs are now under
seizure, and will, in all probability,
be destroyed. The right of de-
stroying the goods will be fought
out by the brewery people. This
is the largest amount of wet goods
seized at one time in the South.

no student of any college or school
of Michigan, whether he be boy
in knee trousers or man 40 years
old, will be able to buy a glass of
any kind of liquor.
The law was drawn to put a
stop to young college or school
boys frequenting saloons, but ex-
animation discloses that it goes
much further than intended. 1t
forbids bartenders Ito permit any
student in attendance at public
or private institution of learning

cards, dice, billiards or any game

ing in which such spirituous liq-

chance" for the passage of the
measure it is believed that it will
be one of the first acts to be given
important consideration.
Just now the anti-saloon leaders,
aided by the ministers unions in
the various cities and towns, are
engaged in sounding" the hold
over Senators, who by reason of
their length of service will be i'm
portant factors in shaping legisla-
tion as to their attitude on the
liquor. question and particularly
the county unit bill.
Candidates for Representatives
and State Senators in those dis

selected this November are also

counties the voters have forced
them to announce their platform
on the liquor question before sup

Grand Jury Is investigating.

Judge r. L. Stout convened
Circuit Court in the Senate cham
Der of the old Statehouse in frank
fort last week. In his charge to
the grand jury he said in sub
stance:
Without expressing any opin-
ion as to the riot of ten days ago,
/ 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 |
have been informed, the large ma
jority of those who participated
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 inves-
tigation 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 dis
obey the law themselves they are
more culpable, if possible, than a
private citizen would be. Inves-
tigate 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 license, selling to minors,
selling on Sunday and to drunkards.
He called special attention to the
crime of carrying concealed deadly
weapons and said that nearly all
the crimes committed originated in
the carrying of pistols.

to hear reports from the progress

There seems to have been a lack

crop will yet be pooled as there

JUDGE O'Rear Speaks.

Judge O'Rear, in his address at
Lexington last week, fully in
dorsed the proposed pooling plan
for growers of White Burley to-
bacco. He said that it had been
established years ago that this va
riety of tobacco could not be grown
outside of the limestone belt, prin-
cipally made up of counties in
Kentucky. White Burley tobacco
brings twice the price of dark to-
bacco and weighs double, yet the
labor of producing it is no more
than required for the darker vari-
cites. He said that the Opportu-
nifty was now within the reach of
Kentucky farmers, and probably
would not come again in many
years. The American Tobacco
Company, which is the one buyer
for the product, is practically
without tobacco to supply its man
ufactories, and the grower is in a
position to dictate prices. 1t would
be folly, he said, for them not to
take advantage of the situation to
establish themselves upon a perma-
nent basis and secure fair prices
not only for this crop, but for all
that may be grown in the future.
He expressed the opinion that they
should receive % cents per pound
for the crop now being cut, but
said that if they should fix the
price at 40 cents the American To-
bacco Company would have to pay
that much, and could still make a
profit. The lowest grade of the
manufactured product sells at 50
cents per pound.
The burden of his address per-
tanned to the necessity of organi-
zation to meet combination in all
other avOcations and professions.
