Adjournment of Congress-.

Everything in Congress is sub,

surgent Republicans are in sharp

on, ready to grasp any political
advantage. The measure will not
pass the upper House before May

How lnterest-Bearing Warrants
Nav Issue.

With the exception of the COM
mon school fund, the State Uni
versity fund and sinking fund, the
State Treasurer may issue interest
bearing warrants for the debts Of
the State. This opinion was given
to Treasurer Farley by Attorney
General Breathitt.
The funds mentioned are ex-
empted under the provisions of
the bill. Debts accruing during
the current year, however, should
be paid with the revenues of the
year. The Treasurer should wait
until it is definitely known wheth-
err or not there will be sufficient
revenue for the current year to
pay the debts before the interest
bearing warrants are issued.
Understanding warrants may
be issued in payment for claims
against the charitable and penal
institutions and the normal schools,
and also for payment of debts
from claims overdue. These
points are in substance the opin-
ion on the issuing of interest
bearing warrants.

NO BLOODSHfD
When Governor Wilson and Sec
rotary Bruner Met.

Why there was not bloodshed at
the State Capitol at Frankfort, Ky,
is puzzle to one woman who
keeps well posted on things po-
litical in Kentucky, and who hap
pened to be in the Capitol when
Governor Wilson and DR.. Ben
Bruner met for the first time after
the broadside which DR.. Bruner
fired at the Governor.
This woman saw DR.. Bruner 90
into the Governors Office to at
tend meeting of the Capitol Com
mission and she grew vastly ex-
cited, expecting to hear sounds of
conflict. But nothing happened.
To all intents and purposes they
were just as good friends as they
had ever been and there was moth
ing to show that these two men
had been throwing verbal bricks
at each other. The woman could
not understand this, and said:
Two women could not do that.
They would row certainly if they
had to be thrown together after
saying mean things about each
other in the papers. That is what
| cannot understand about men;
how they can put aside their per-
sonal differences and attend to
business just like they were the
best Of friends"

Extension of Rural Routes.

The extension of the rural free
delivery is taking definite form,
During March more than sixty
thousand petitions for rural SER
vice were presented to the depart
ment. Adverse reports were
made on more than 1000 of them.
The others will be allowed. There
are now in operation more than
200 routes.

AGAIN IN new YORK.
Governor Wilson Says The Day of
Mint JuIep is Numbered.

Kentucky's famous mint iulep
will soon be a thing of the past.
Sweeping over the nation, the pro-
hibition wave has struck the COM
monwealth noted for its beautiful
women, its fast horses and its
good whisky. Practically the en-
tire State is dry" Feudalism is
dead; good feeling prevails be-
tween Republicans and Democrats
and the might riders" are now
upright and law-abiding citizens.
This is the wonderful transfor-
nation that has come over the
State where the blue grass grows,
according to Governor A Z. Will
son, who arrived in New York on
April IL to attend the annual ban
quet of the Kentucky Society of
New York, held at the Hotel St.
Regis on April u.
Governor Wilson is modest.
He claims for himself and his adj
ministration none of the credit Of
the wonderful change which has
taken place in Kentucky.
There is no State in the union
where you will find so much good
whisky and so little drinking as in
Kentucky" Gov. Wilson said.
I'VE are really drinking water
out there now, and we like the
taste of it too.
Local option prevails in prac-
tically every county in the State,
and Kentucky is really becoming
"A temperance State. | will wager
that there is less drinking there
than you will find in the prohibi-
ton State of Maine. | am seri-
Gus when | tell you these things.
This is not local talk for foreign
consumption"
Governor Wilson declined to
be drawn into a discussion of
Caleb Powers candidacy for Con-
gress in the Eleventh, or to make
any mention of the might riders"
or the mountain feuds more than
to say that feudalism is dead in
Kentucky and that the tobacco
war is a thing of the past.
No, l can't discuss Kentucky
politics." he said. Good feeling
prevails between the two parties,
and far be it from me to say one
word which will reopen the old
fights"
Governor Wilson said that he
believed there would be a revival
of interest in racing in Kentucky,
and that every effort would be
made to put stop to the gambling
end of the sport.

TO KILL IDIOTS.
David O. Hudson ASSailed By
Critics.

DR.. David O. Hudson, of Mont
gomery City, Mo-, who made pub
lie his sensational theory advocat-
ing dose of prussic acid for all
idiots and hopelessly insane peo-
pie, gives reasons and incidents
leading up to his public declara-
ton.
He contends that it is the doc
trine of mercy and says: II have
repeatedly stated and l want it
distinctly understood that this new
doctrine to exterminate the idiots,
incurable and hopeless, who are in
their last stages is not advanced
simply to rid the State and society
of it's burden, but as a means of
mercy to the afflicted themselves.
IL answer to the many letters
and criticisms received, some COM
plimentary, others laudatory, |
would say that | can see nothing
wrong in relieving this awful con-
dition, where it can be so easily
done and these patients transferred
from this awful state of a living
hell to one of eternal ecstacy.
Could some of the doctors, editors
and others who condemn my po-
sition so severely see the sights |
have seen, it might change their
ideas. To me there is one thing
certain; the counties and States
should look more humanely after
this unfortunate class, or their suf-
fering should be relieved as / have
suggested.
II see no reason why this class
after being passed upon by a prop
erly constituted lawful commits
sion should not be mercifully put
to sleep forever. The class / re-
fer to are not human, but idiots,
or those bereft of all human in
stinct, mere animals"
DIR. Hudson is member of the
Montgomery, Mo-, School Board,
one of the Wellsville Pension Ex-
aminers Board and also member
of the State Medical Association
and former County Physician.
He is being almost overwhelmed
with this controversy. Most of
his correspondents condemn his
theory, but many are agreeing
with him.

HALLfYS COMET
Speeding Toward Us at Rate of
Over 100000 Miles an Hour.

1t becomes visible about once in
every rs years.
1t was named after HALEY, the
astronomer who observed it in
1882 and calculated that it return
ed at regular intervals.
1t will reach the nearest point
to the earth on May 10, 1910.
when it will be 100000 miles
away.
Halley's comet was visible at
the time of the Norman conquest
of England. and on that account
has always been associated with
great events.
1t was seen again in the year of
the battle of Agincourt and at
other momentous periods.
1t is believed to have been the
star that guided the wise men to
the Savior's birthplace at Bethle-
hem.
1t is travelling at speed of
over 100000 miles an hour.
1t has travelled 6,SOO,O00, 900
miles since we last saw it.
Our earth was probably in col
lision with a comet in prehistoric
times.
1t the comet struck the earth
our temperature would be raised
hundreds of thousands of degrees
and we should be burned up.
The tail of a comet consists of
UNNECESSARILY minute particles
which are shot off from the head
or nucleus, by force emanating
from the sun.
The tail of the comet always
turns away from the sun, chang
ing its direction as the head passes
round the sun.
The comet produces billions of
miles of light without heat in
some unexplained way.
The eighth satellite of Jupiter
is believed to be the lost Lexelrs
comet, which having come within
million miles of Jupiter, has
been forced to become a satellite
of that planet,
A comet is not compact mass,
but is usually transparent, even
through the nucleus.
The earth passed through a
comets tail in 1919 and 1861.
Hundreds of cubic miles of a
comets tail are outweighed by a
jar full of air.
According to Sir Oliver Lodge
and others, a comets tail is made
of particles of material electricity
one thousand times smaller than
an atom.
Prof. Charles A. Young, the
astronomer, has said that COLI
sion between the earth and the
comet is bound to occur.

was therefore bound to use the birds.
The Pope read the interview this

these cruel and barbatous methods,
which were worse than vivisectiOn, as
