CHURCH NEAHING COMPLETION

The beautiful and unique building
of the Methodist Episcopal Church is
soon to be completed. On account Of
a delay in the arrival of certain mat
erial for the inside finish, work on
the building has been suspended for
some weeks; but the things which
were most needed are now on the
ground and the work is to be re-
sumed and speedily carried for
ward. II is expected that the house
will be ready for use by the time
that Conference convenes this fall.
The building will cost something
over four thousand dollars, is made
OF concrete blocks, has pleasing pat
tern, and, on the whole will probably
be one of the most beautiful small
church buildings in this part of the
state. II is the plan of the church TO
have its own pastor and regular SER
vices by the latter part of the month
OF September.

Lawyers Meet at MiCdlesboro-
Great Damage BY Storm-Pay For
States Teaehers- Big Robbery
Our Murder Record

STATE BAR ASSN MEETS: The
State Bar Association met this week
in Middlesboro. A number of interest
ing addresses were made by some of
the states most prominent lawyers.
Lexington will entertain the Asso-
citation next year.
WEEK OF RUIN: Farmers and
all farming interests have been great
ly set back throughout the entire
state this week by unusually heavy
rains, floods, cloudbursts, thunder
storms and wash outs. Nearly every
community has its own story of loss.
LIGHTNING STRIKES CHURCH.
Just as the congregation was being
dismissed in the Silas Babtist church
in Bourbon County Sunday a bolt
of lightning struck the building and
seriously injured five of the worship
pers, and knocked a number of others
down. The bolt came thru the cell
ing over the pulpit, broke the marble
slab over the desk, and then play
ed around the room. A horse in the a.,
yard was also struck.
NOT ALL ONE WAY:-The election
has been called to decide whether
Lexington is TO have the commission
form of government, but some opposi-
ton to the scheme has developed. A
mass meeting was held last Friday
night and the plan rather severe
ly arraigned by the speakers. Their
arguments are considered unfair and
not well founded, however.
PER CAPITA FOR THE YEAR
State Supt. Regenstein has announced
that the per capita this year is TO
be the same as last, ST. The total
amount to be paid to the teachers
out of the State Treasury is $2,9S2.-
$40. The census shows 745,735 pupil
children.
ROBBER ON INSIDE; August
Ropke, for is years a trusted EN-
ploye of the Fidelity Trust Co., Of
Louisville, has embezzled the funds of
the institution to the extent Of $780,
900. Later rumors say 100000. Bet
ting on the stock markets is given
as the cause OF his theft.
Banks and Trust buildings are
usually substantial structures with
iron bars over their windows to keep
the burglars out. Most of the thieves.
the biggest thieves, are ON the in
side and carry the keys, however.
JUDGE BENTON AT MIDDLES-
BORO:-In his speech before the
State Bar Association, Judge Benton
spoke of one particular in which
the United States excells all other
countries, its criminal record.
Here it is:
10000 murders every year. OF the
murderers only in every hundred are
punished. SO in every hundred go alb
solutely free. There are 41a times as
many murders for every million of
our<population as there were 20 years
ago.
We lead the world in crime In
Germany 50 per cent of the murderers
are punished; in Spain, So per cent;
in France, 81 per cent; IN Italy, n
per cent; in England, so per cent

utely no grounds for the rumors of
approaching hostility.

is TT Wharf.-The Washington
government has been greatly tried
the last ten days by developments
in Nicarauga A demand is being made
by the press OF the country and from
some foreign sources that We step
in and stop the dual there between
the two factions.
ON A RAMPAGE:-Spoaker Can
non is on a lecture tour In Kansas
and in spite of sunstroke and all the
Devils lnsurgents-proeeeds to flay
every body who does not think as he
does. He says. he is only "a special
list at playing car" boasts that he
has been Speaker longer than any
other man, and boldly defies the
80 called independent Republicans
and the muck raking periodicals."
SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE
The Sheriff of Licking County and III
Mayor OF Newark, o., have both re-
signed under the pressure OF Cover
nor Harmon and the lash of arous-
ed public opinion. Altogether twenty
five of the rioters have been arrest
ed and the special grand jury is at
work. IL begins to look like there IS
a law that can handle mobs.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN OUR own STATE
Presidents Vacation

ly. The President is on his vacation
"a ten days vacation, and it is well
earned. But he is busy. A vacation
does not mean that one is to do moth
ing. That would not be rest for most
people. The best rest comes through
a change of occupation. That is about
the only way that the mind gets
any rest, except during sleep, and
sometimes it does not rest during
sleep.
Thinking Out Program
OF course the president has not
stopped thinking. A good many mat
tiers are now off of hand, and he is
not now thinking much about these.
He is thinking about other things
new matters OF policy, plans for the
future, and he is having a little quiet
in order that he may outline his
program for the next year. And we
can imagine with what alacrity he
goes at it. II is good to drop the old
and take up the new. IL is a glad
day for the child when he takes up
the new book. 1t is a happier day
If he has mastered the old. And the
President has mastered the old-the
platform pledges have not had to wait
four years for their fulfillment. The
party's promises were nearly all
fulfilled by the end of the first reg
ular session of Congress after the
Presidents uguration-thanks 20
the President himself; and now he
looks to the future with a well
done for the past, of his own speak
ing, upon his lips. And more and more
that "well done" is upon other lips
throughout the country.
Not Physically Inactive
But neither is the President physi-
cally inactive during his little vaca-
ton. He boxes and wrestles. Think
of it, He is up and at it early in the
morning, and then he is much at golf.
1t is awful to be fat, and have to
work like that, because you don't
want to be fat. That is why the
President is so busy at golf That is
why he is up every morning before
the rest of the Tafts and in the
basement of the Beverly home in
his tights with his boxing master.
He is trying to reduce his waist band,
Isn't it pity that some OF us have
to be so big and don't like it, while
others of us are so little and don't
like it?
But the President seems to be happ
tho there is but little prospect of re-
ducing his avoirdupois below 2S5. 1t is
good philosophy to be happy, and
the President is somewhat OF phi
loshopher.
Vacation Broken into
But alas, for the vacation. 1t had
to be broken in upon at both ends.
The political situation in New York
State was causing some concern, and
Ohio had to be looked after IL is
too bad that the President has to be
politician. 1t is too bad that his
political future cannot take care of
itself. A second term is coveted as an
endorsement and all political forces
must be kept up looking to that end.
In other words he must do what he
can to force his own endorsement.
So Mr.. Loeb, collector for the port
of New York must visit Beverly. Mr..
Loeb, the friend of Roosevelt, the
friend of Gov. Hughes and the friend
of the Administration. And for what
purpose? That is what every body
wanted to know, and the reporters
think they know.
