We desire to see both parties put up
their best men for Offi:e. It has been
shown il recent disclosures, tIrOu-
ghnut the country. in municipal and
legislative graft. that neither party
has monopoly Of virtue or vice, and
that the CRATER may call himself
either Democrat or Republican.
Let therefore. the best elements in
both parties put forth their strongest
efforts, TO see that the next General
Assembly shall be composed Of men
who will be guided alone by their SEN
Sc of the public welfare. and who will
not have to be told by the lobby or
legislative specialist how they should
vote upon any question.
Let us have Legislature once more
like those Of the ''gOOd old days.,
when the ablest and most honorable
men in Kentucky esteemed it an
honor to sit in the General Assembly,
when the lobby. with all its banefu:
influences. was unborn, and when The
mere intimatI0n of corrupt conduct
would have produced a sensation,
shocking to the whole State. Let the
two parties, at least, get together up

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
FOR CONGRESS.
Harvev Helm, OF Lincoln County.
(Kentucky State JOurnal.)

Many Of the papers in the State
have taken up the suggestion OF the
State Journal in warning the people
to be careful in selecting their nOmi-
nees for the next General Assembly.
Some of them realize that. unless
such care is exercised, We may have
another such aggregation here in 1912
as we have had for the last two ses-
siOns, and that would be in the nature
of a public calamity. Early nOmina-
tions should be avoided and the PEG
pie in every county or district should
have ample opportunity to look over
the candidates and pick out the best.
Those interests and combinations,
which seek to control legislation as
they have done in the last two SeS-
ions are actively at work, picking out
their candidates and favOring tn e i r
nominations, long in advance of the
general election in the fall of 1911.
They want pliable or corrupt men.
such as they can easily control, and
they want them nominated as early
as possible. SO that the people will be
bound in their support OF them. and
have little or no chance to inveSti-
gate and inspect them.
They are not working in the open,
but cecretly, vigilantly, and vigorous
Iy. They are leaving no stones untu-
rned. Patronage and money will be
freely used wherever possible, and IL
they succeed, the next General Assem-
bly, will be servilely dominated by the
lobby just as it was 10 1908 and 1910.
That lobby was SO powerful in the
last General Assembly that it we'll
nigh succeeded in defeating the in
come tax amendment, favored by nine
tenths Of the people Of Kentucky, and
did succeed in throwing cloud upon
the manner of its adoption. 1t was
powerful enough to influence all legis-
lation. 1t was not Democratic lobby
nor q Republican lobby. 1t was a
Bipartisan lobby, :" in which the tai
ents OF both parties were combined.
1t cared little or nothing for party
lines. for greed or graft are Indifferent
to parties, except to use them. and
they can easily change their politics
TO suit the exigencies OF the occasion.
The Legislative specialist or agent, as
q rule, is neither Democrat. Repub-
lican, Socialist, or OF any other party,
1t heart. He is out for himself and is
willing to sacriface anyp0litical prin-
ciple for his own gain.
Such is the class Of men that seek
to again control the General Assent
" OF Kentucky, dictate legislation,
and manage the political affairs Of
both parties in the state. Unless the
people heed the warning given them
about the selection Of their nominees,
this element will succeed and again
blight and dishoner the proud and
handsome Capitol Of the State.
This warning goes not to Democrats
alone, but to Republicans Is well. for

ORINOC0 CLAIMS
CASE SETTLED BY
HAGUE TRIBUNAL
Barge Award Is Declared Null And
Void And American Company Is
Awarded $46,867, With Interest.

The Hague, Oct. 26.-The Interna-
tional Court of Arbitration rendered
it's decision in the Orinoco claims
case yesterday. The Barge award is
declared null on four points and the
American company is awarded $46,-
867, with three per cent interest since
June 16, 1908, and $1,000 costs.
The judgment is to be paid by vene
zuela within two months. The tribu-
nal rejected the American contention
on the other points in dispute.
Today's decision disposes of long
standing dispute between the United
States and Venezuela. The Orinoco
Steamship Company, a New Jersey
corporation, was granted certain ex-
elusive privileges by the government
Of Venezuela, but the agreement was
subsequently repudiated by President
Castro. The steamship company in
stituted an action for 81, 100000 dam
ages.
The case was eventually submitted
to Dr.. Charles Basge, who as umpire,
on Feb. 2, 1904, awarded the company
$2S, 200.
The company appealed to the Amer.
ican government which refused to &C
cept the decision on the ground that
it was contrary to the principles OF
international law.
After prolonged negotiation be
tween Washington and Caracas it was
agreed to submit the whole matter to
The Hague, where DR.. Dennis asked
that the Barge award be declared
null as unjust and erroneous and the
original claims settled on their merits

board of trust had under consideration
a measure to exchange a portion Of
Vanderbilt campus for George Pea

College for teachers to also receive
100000 in the transaction. The plan
is to establish Vanderbilt medical and

AMERICAN SUGAR
Refinery CLOSED
FOR A BRIEF time
Cuban Sugar Has All Been Refused
and Ten Days sus6ensien is Or.
dered for overhauIins.

New Orleans, Oct. 26.-Operations
at the big sugar refinery at Chalmette
were brought to a temporary close at
an early hour Tuesday morning, the
last of the raw sugars from foreign
ports, which up to a few weeks ago
filled the huge warehouses of that
gigantic plant, having been converted
into the refined grades. This does
not mean that any of the regular en-
ployes have been discharged or even
laid Off The night crew of each de-
partment has been ordered to report
and join the day crew in the general
cleaning and overhauling to be done,
which necessitates about ten days,
when operations will be resumed.
While it is necessary at this time
of the year to close the refinery for a
few days for general cleaning and re-
pairs, it can be said here that no re-
pairs of any great consequence are
needed at this new plant, as it has
been actively and successfully opera
ted for the past several months with
out hitch or any serious breakdown.
Several carloads of Louisiana plan
tation raw sugar have already been
received at the plant here, which in
dicates that the big refinery will not
remain closed for any great length
of time than is strictly necessary for
handling the Louisiana crop.

AS a result of the census bureaus

boosting" of the market to sixty
points above Tuesdays close, the local
market is in state of nervousness

ing offered freely at IA is with but
few takers.
According to Mr.. r. c. Hauenstein,
who is generally considered to be one
of the best informed and most con-
servative of local cotton men, the
opinion generally prevailed that the
gins of the country were being over
run with cotton and that the staple
was being baled almost as rapidly as
it was picked from the fields. This
served to weaken the market to some
extent, and the bureau report, which
showed a shortage of nearly a million
bales ginned compared with the same
period last year, threw the market
into mild panic and prices scared
skyward.
