CONGRESS OF
GOVERNORS
Will Meet In Frankfort Last
of The Month Big Men
Coming.
BIG MEN ARE COMING
Harmon, Dix And Wilson
Will Be On The
Program.
BIG MEN ARE COMING

Frankfort, KY. Nov. 11.-So con-
fident was the secretary Of the Gov
errors conference that John A. Dix
would be elected Governor of New
York, that before the election he put
Mr.. Dix on the programme for the
conference to begin in Frankfort on
November %. Now that he has
been elected it is believed to be GER
tain that he will come to Kentucky
the last Of November and will spend
several days in Frankfort and Louis
vile. Woodrow Wilson, newly elect
ed Governor of New Jersey. it is ex.
pected also will come to Frankfort
and Louisville for the conference.
MIR. Wilson was on the programme
for an address to the Governors. this
being unconditional on his election
as Governor. He was invited to
come whether he was elected or not
and accepted the invitation to make
an address. Now that he has been
elected Governor of New Jersey he
will come to the conference as an
actual member of the House of Gov
ernors.
Efforts probably will be made by
the Democrats of Frankfort and
Louisville to get Governor elect Foss
of Massachusetts,, to come to the
conference. Governor elect Bald
win of Connecticut, also will be in
vited, and the Democrats will urge
him to come to Kentucky. Judson
Harmon. who was elected Governor
of Ohio, was already on the pro
gramme, and has been invited to
come. He has accepted the invita-
ton and would have come even il
he had not been elected again. So
Kentucky will have at least three
and possibly five of the newly-elect
ed Democratic Governors here for
the conference.

NEWSPAPER AND MAGAZINE POSTAGE

Look out for a new outbreak of the
undertaking magazines against Presi-
dent Taft, who has the temerity to
make them pay part of the cost of haul
ing their garbage through the mails.
The latest plan on which he has
agreed with the postmaster general
removes every objection of sentimental
justice by separating the advertising
from the reading matter in the magazines
in weighing.
This can be done easily by tearing one
apart and weighing each section, then
adjusting the rate of postage on the
whole by percentage. The reading
matter will pay the present rate of one
cent a pound, though the average haul
is LOO miles to 300 for the dailies, while
the advertising pages will pay enough
to meet the cost of of service.
Fair as this adjustment is, the maya
zines will probably meet it in the
impudent spirit in which they met the
proposed legislation of the past session.
Their attitude is that of the sturdy
begger, who needs the money" With
no attempt to show why they should be
carried free, they potify the govern
ment that they must be or it will catch
it.
1t will be perfectly fair to apply the
same rule to daily newspaper, if their
advertising matter we're so entirely
separate and could be weighed and
computed as easily. But the fact is
newspapers now pay the cost of sending
them through the mails; magazines dc
not.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Unfinished Work Before Congress

Unfinished Work Before Congress.
A few important bills before con-
gress went yer for another session.,
but their success in the session recent
ly closed was not confidently expected.
The bill creating a national health bu-
reau failed. Many who favored it look
ed for no other fate. The Appalachian
forest reserve bill passed the house
and is expected to win in the senate
ut the next session. The revival Of
u merchant marine met with the
usual check. The faint attaching to
the principle Of subsidies seems too
great to overcome.
Currency reform was not touched,
but doubtless will be a leading subject
next session after the monetary COM
mission makes it's report. Postal re-
forms deemed urgent went over be-
cause the postal savings bank bill
proved an obstacle. A parcels post is
still vehemently urged, but the meas
ure may have to wait until other
changes in the service are effected.
