"QUININE JIM"
Old Inner Discusses Ken
lucky Orators of 80
Years Ago.

A prominent member of the Ow-
ensboro bar, discussing old time or
ators in the Inquirer, says:
Without casting any reflection
on our lawyers of the late years we
can truly say that the mode of prac-
tice has changed in this commercial
age. There is decline in oratory
and lawyers of this day have adopt
ed business methods. In old times
to hear Stuart, Sweeney, or Elijah
Walker of Hartford was equal to
platform lecture. In those days
these old-time practitioners could en-
tertain you for hours with history
and poetry. In those days there
were orators in this district, such as
Thomas C. McCreery, "Quinine Jim"
Mckenzie and John Young Brown.
McCreery's oration, while United
States senator, in regard to the Ar
lington home Of Robert E Lee, was
a masterpiece and his eloquence on
that occasion will go down in his
tory as one of the greatest speeches
ever delivered in the Senate.
"QUININE JIM" MCKENZIE.
"As a convention orator, McKen-
zie was without an equal, and his
speech nominating DR.. Clardy for
governor at the convention held in
Louisville was one of the efforts of
his life An amusing incident hap

gress to Policy and Taft Will
Not Oppose.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The president
undoubtedly feels keenly the loss Of
the house to the democrats, but would
make no comment today. Republican
leaders hope to make good use of their
advantage in majority during the short
session of congress and push legisla-
tion along progressive lines in accord
with the recommendations in the pres
ident's message. This, it is said, will
be done in the hope of the possible
favorable effect ii may have upon the
fortune of the present administration
two years hence. The result of yester-
days election practically committed
congress to tariff revision and II is
likely that will be one of the first mat
ters considered by the new congress.

democratic gain of 43 new seats.

The Tenth Indiana and Fourth Min

they appear to have gained 10 mem

sary to control.

remains to show how it was possible
for this Eskimo tribe to have quite a
different idea of DR.. Cooks expedition
when I was there in the summer Of
1909. According to what is now known.
DR.. Cook, as long as he was with his
two companions, said nothing about
having been at the north pole. but said
merely that it had been a long and
difficult journey
only after he left Cape York and his
two companions did the swindle begin
