Gov. Wilson's message, one of the
most valuable which has ever been

received with very little courtesy, and
indicated the intention of the Demo-

Rumored-Mine on Fire.

AWFUL COLD:-How about this
weather anyhow? Last Thursday
morning it was the coolest 1t has
been hereabouts for six years. Also
the cold spell was the longest in
about that length of time. On Friday
the thermometer went up fifty-five
degrees in twenty-four hours. Now
well there is no telling how it will
be by the time we can get this print
ed, but is is safe bet it will be
something unpleasant.
CORN HIGH:-Corn sold in Lex
ington last week for the highest price
that cereal has brought there for
many years. Two hundred barrels
were sold for $3.50 a barrel. The
corn is to be delivered at chat price
next June, July and August. The
price for corn to be delivered right
away is SO and $3.50 barrel.
/ Burnley SUIT:-More information
is beginning to come from Washing
ton about the proposed suit against
the Burley Tobacco Society. 1t is
now said that the suit will be both
civil and criminal, and that an at
tempt will be made to put some of the
officers in Jail. 1t is claimed that the
Society is as much of a trust as any
big corporation, and that it will have
to suffer accordingly.
MINE ON FIRE:-A big fire has
started in the mines of the West
Kentucky Coal Co., at Sturgis, Ky.
Two mines have been sealed and
are being flooded to stop the flames.
No men were caught inside.
MORRIS FOR PoWERS:-Jackson
Morris on his return to Frankfort
from his home after the holidays,
gave out an interview in which he
predicted the overwhelming defeat
of Edwards by Powers. Mr.. Morris
is quoted as saying that thousands
of dollars will be contributed by his
friends as a campaign fund, tho he
adds that the Powers sentiment is
so strong that there will be no need
for il.
JUDGE KILLS HIMSELF:-Judge
j. c. Voris, of Georgetown, killed
himself last week. 1t is thought
the reason is that he failed to de-
liver a speech successfully at big
dinner given the night before.

More students than ever before
crowded the offices and class rooms
of Berea College when the Winter
term opened Wednesday morning.
Something like q hundred more than
were here at the same time last year
we're on the grounds and had enter
ed, and the indications are that there
are still larger crowds coming. II
is the usual thing TO expect that each
winter term will set new high wa
ter mark for the school, but this
year the increase seems unusually
large. Fortunately the building OF the
new dormitories, and the provision
OF the beautiful dining room In the
basement Of Ladies' Hall will make IL
possible to accommodate the increas-
ing crowds comfortably.
In spite OF the dripping rain II was
happy crowd that surged thru the
buildings. All were busy, too be sure,
and many we're tired waiting their
turns at the officers desks, but there
was an air of happiness and pleasure
which prevailed everything which
was irresistible. Old friendships were
being renewed, and new ones formed.
and all seemed to be enjoying the
process.
The first real function of the term,
OF course was the jam Social Tues

good many cases OF Inconsistencies were
b;oken up nv that first evenings plea

and there Is no doubt that this COM

In spite of the crowd, the officers
of the school have as usual made pro-
sisions Tor the late corners. OF course
no one who GENES late can ever be

here on time, and yet everything pos
sible will be done to help those who

DEFENDS MOUNTAIN PEOPLE
To The Editor of The Citizen.

To The Editor of The Citizen,
Dear Sir
Our mountain section Of country
is given many hard names by our peo-
pie in the more wealthy part of this
state. think It Is because they do
not know us better.
AS a rule the mountain people are
honest. You seldom see crib or
smoke house with locks on them, and
our chickens and turkeys are safe
in the trees and on the fence any
where on the farm so far as man is
concerned. And a man is never turn
ed away from our door. at night be
he rich or poor.
One of the greatest faults with
I our mountain people is that when
they get whiskey In them their ambi-
ton gets too high and they will fight.
But we have voted whiskey out Of
most OF our mountain counties and
II Congress will come to our rescue 1t
viii not be two years until our Grim
inal docket will be clean. Let Congress
pass law that will prohibit distillers
shipping whiskey into local option
territory and then crime will disap-
pear. Our state Is powerless TO do
this.
II our congressman from the west
win introduce such bill and secure
its passage then he will see the noun
tains blossom as the rose and will
see our young men stepping out from
the mountains TO fill places OF profit
and trust in which our more wealthy
friends are always In need. What our
mountain people need is to take liquor
from their reach, make more effect
i've compulsory school laws and then
we shall have the finest country in
the world We already. have the
best, big hearted people in the world.

Fight Between President and Aldrich
Crowd Seems Likely-President to
Make Demands for Real Reforms
Cannon Beaten and Insurgents Go
ing After Rules.
Washington, ID. c.

Jan. /, 1910.
The newspaper correspondents are
happy at last, and sniff the battle
from afar, yea, they paw up the
earth like war horses, and sharpen
their pencils with joy in their coun-
tenances. For behold, it looks like
Taft was going to be heard from soon.
I'D to this time there has been such
loud silence in the neighborhood
of the White House that the news
paper men have been afraid that
they would lose their jobs. There was
nothing for them to write Down at
the Capitol was the insurgent fight
surging right along without getting
any furder or forrader, as the saying
goes, and the attack on Cannon, but
what are they compared to the terri
fic roars which have been in the habit
Of issuing from the White House?
Taft's silent policy has lost him more
friends among the newspaper men
than anywhere else, for they need
news in their business, and he has
been busy keeping quiet.
But now at last there seems to be
a pretty good chance that he will
start something, and they are happy
once more. The talk about his next
message to Congress has pretty well
settled down, and there are strong in
dications that there will be more meal
and less stuffing in the next bird he
serves up to the Legislators. The warn
ing of the Insurgents that his pro-
gramme would have to be announced
soon If 1t was to have any help from
them, may not have had any effect
but sure it is that the time has come
at last when ii is pretty near possible
to tell what Pres. Taft's programme
will be. We shall all know for sure
in few weeks, but here goes for a
prophecy.
We venture to predict that Pres
TAFT within a short time will send to
Congress messages in which he will
ask legislation to provide the follow
ing things
Amendments strengthing the Inter.
State Commerce Act.
Voluntary incorporation of concerns
doing an Interstate business.
Conservation of natural resources.
Reforms in the organization of the
army.
Reorganization of the Navy.
The Nicaraguan affair.
OF these things, his attitude ON the
Interstate Corporation law has alread.
been discussed in these letters. OF
even more importance will be the
amendments to the Interstate Com.
MERGE act. These amendments will lie
asked for in letter to be transmitted
to Congress next week. They will pro-
vide as follows
That an examination of all the
railroads I'm this country shall bt
made by the Interstate Commerce
/ Commission to determine Just how
much those roads are worth-that is
how much they would bring at 6
fair sale.
That all Interstate railroads shall
, be prohibited from owning any stoch
I in other roads which ought TO Compel
, with them.

} merce Commission shall have powell
