will Make Lincoln Figure For the
CaDitOI.

The bronze statue of Abraham
Lincoln, which James B. Speed
will give to the State of Kentucky,
is to be nodded by Americas most
famous sculptor, A. WeinmaD, of
New York, the favorite pupil of
St. Gaudens. Mr.. Weinman and
F. M. Sackett, who engaged Mr..
Weinman to do the work as the
representative of Mr.. Speed, will
meet in Frankfort soon so that
Mr.. Weinman can get a definite
idea of the lights and surround
ings of the statue when it is placed
in the rotunda of Kentucky's new
capitol building.
Mr.. Weinman will then return
to New York, and begin the task
of making the drawings for the
$4,000 statue, which will be the
! finest of its kind in the country.
Mr.. Sackett expects to receive the
drawings by fall. Mr.. Weinman
/ has promised the model by the
first of next year, ard the finished
statue by October 1911.
The statue is to be full length,
and of heroic size. 1t will stand
in the center of the rOtunda of the
capital. Mr.. Weinman is the
sculptor who modelled the sitting
statue of Lincoln, which is in the
town square at Hodgenville.
There is a pretty story of senti-
ment and civic pride back of the
motive which prompted Mr..
Speed to give the statue to Ken
lucky. The Speed family is one
of the oldest in the State. James
Speed, an uncle of j. B. Speed.
was Lincoln's Attorney General,
and Joshua Speed, another uncle,
was one of President Lincoln's
closest intimates. On numerous
occasions President Lincoln visit.
ed at the homes of the Speeds in
Kentucky.
When Gov. Wilson began tc
cast about for man who would
give Kentucky a statue of its
most famous son, he thought OF
Mr.. Speed, and his connection
with the Lincoln family. 1t took
but mention of the plans for Mr..
Speed to say that he would gladly
give the statue to Kentucky.
Gov. Wilson then accepted the
promised gift on behalf of the
Capital Commission. Mr.. Sack
EFT was then sent to New York
where he made arrangements for
the work.

DO You Gamble?

Some people do by spending their time and
labor and money by housing crop of hay, oats
: and other farm produce, and keeping thousands
of dollars invested in live stock housed in barns,
and gamble with themselves that it will not
burn. DO YOU?
Other people place their savings in home
and handsome furniture and then gamble on
; their luck that it will not burn. DO YOU?
Still others invest thousands in factories,
mills, warehouses and other things subject to
: fire, and think they can, by careful watching,
: prevent fire. DO YOU?
To all persons gambling with themselves
: against loss by fire, wind or tornado we would
suggest you give the matter careful considera-
ton. Can you afford to take chances of losing
. part or all of your accumulations for lifetime
by gambling on your luck? We think not. See

MCCredry Will Make The Race.

Convinced that the great ma
jority of the Democrats of Ken
lucky earnestly desire that he re-
enter the political arena and lead
reunited and harmonious party in
the next campaign for the redemp-
ton of the State from Republican
rule, former Senator James B.
McCreary has announced his ac-
tive candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for Governor.
1t has been repeatedly rumored
within the past few months that
he would make this race, but not
until he felt that the rank and file
of his party desired him to come
out from the retirement of private
life did Senator McCreary finally
determine to respond to the call of
his friends. When he laid down
the Senatorial toga two years ago
it was with the expressed determi-
nation never again to seek political
preferment.
His formal announcement as a
candidate for Governor is as
follows:
ADDRESS TO DEMOCRATS.
TO the Democrats of Ken
lucky: / have received so many
letters requesting me to announce
that | am a candidate for Govern
or and so many Democrats have
in person said to me that if | am
nominated / will have the unani-
nous support of the Democrats of
Kentucky, and such large num-
Der of newspapers have published
editorials suggesting and indorsing
me as proper candidate for
Governor that / have decided to
announce that | am a candidate
for Governor subject to the action
of the Democratic party.
Il believe the party which has
honored me so often and to which
| have belonged all my life and
whose principles | have ever adj
vocated and upheld is entitled to
my best services whenever needed
or demanded, [ have always been
in favor Of the straight, pure
Democracy, law and order. honesty
and economy in public admins
tration and educational advance
mert, and my record and my
efforts to. serve the people faith
fully and efficiently | hope and be-
lleve are well known to the peo-
pie of Kentucky. At the proper
time | shall be pleased to make
speeches in behalf of Democratic
principles and Democratic Gov
eminent and Democratic victory
in every part of the State and in
every county if desired, and | will
be very grateful for the support
of my brother Democrats.

whose benevolent purpose is the same.
A strong effort was made to retain him

there very attractive. Mr.. and Mrs.

THE AUDUBON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Important Statement By President
Hansen And Supt. Smith,.

The Board of Education wishes to
announce to all the patrons of the school
as it did once last year to some OF them
in circular letter, that the school is
in no way responsible for any social
function whatever, nor will it exercise
any more authority over pupils connect
ed with any such affair than it is legal
ly authorized to over all school children
when outside of the school. While the
teachers may attend these functions it
will be clearly understood that they
do so out of courtesy and not as rep
resentative of the Board. The parents
are urged to discourage an undue
amount of social activity on the part of
the boys and girls in our High School.

footing Of national banks, SO far as as
surance of solvency to the stockholders
and bondholders is concerned, Represent
alive Mann of Illinois. chairman of the
House committee on interstate and for

bill authorizing corporations engaged in
interstate and foreign commerce to DE
registered in the bureau of corporations
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor.
The measure has been incubating in Mr..
Mann's mind for two years. and is not
in any way an administration bill. 1t
makes the governments certificate of reg
istration an earnest of the government 5
examination, and is designed to make
most of the corporations now doing bust
ness subject to governmental regulation
for the protection of those who have in
vested in it's securities.
II requires the government to accept
applications for registry, requires federal
examination as to the solvency of regis
tered concerns. directs that the corpora
tions be examined at least once in three
years and at any other time thought nee
essary. and calls upon the bureau TO with
draw the registration whenever it is
found that a concern Is not in a solvent

was for putting the ban for several hours

probably was due to the fact that re-
