Possible Election this FaIl-Fight
Near Pineville.

ELECTION THIS FALL: The
Democratic State Central Committee
appointed a committee of lawyers
some time ago to determine whether
according to the Constitution, the
election should be held this Fall TO
fill the vacancy caused by the resign
alton of State Supt. Crabbe. The de-
cision of the committee is to the eff
feet that it should be held this Fall.
If this is the case it will interfere
at least with the expectations of Supt
Regenstein who accepted the position
with the thought of filling out the
entire unexpired term.
FIGHT IN BELL:-It is reported
from Pineville that two men were
fatally shot in row at a ball game
Monday. Their names are Gus. Hen
Erickson, and Alfred Jones.
NOTED EDUCATOR DEAD:-Prof.
J. j. Rucker of Georgetown College,
one OF the Oldest and hest known
educators and temperance workers In
the South, died at his home in George
town Monday. Prof. Rucker has held
the chair of Mathematics in the
college for fifty-three years and 1t is
said that he taught in the same
room the entire time.
KENTUCKY AIRSHlP:--It is an
nounced from Newport, Kentucky, that
young man by the name of Morri-
son has invented and has already pat
ents on a monoplane that surpasses
anything in the nature of flying craft
hitherto seen. 1t is claimed for his
machine that it will adjust itself to
any currents Of air. and, If its en-
gines fail to act, it will settle to the
ground easily like bird on the
wing.
FOR STATES MILITA:-All the
States of the Union except Nevada,
which has no militia, get a portion Of
the government appropriation for
the armies of the country. Kentucky
has just received the first installment
of her allotment for the year, which
is to be spent for ammunition and
general supplies. The amount is
SIS, 1000.
INTERURBAN LINE OPEN:-The
new interurban line from Louisville
TO Shelbyville was opened last week.
Cars leave each end of the line FOR
the other every hour, and, from travel
indications already, great success for
the line is predicted. Why not have
trolly lines between our Mountain
towns? The venture would certainly
pay.
KENTUCKY'S OLDEST FAIR
The fiftieth annual exhibition Of the
Shelby County Fair was opened Tues
day of this week. This is said to be
the longest uninterrupted record of
any Fair Association in the State. 1t
is claimed for the management that
they have never failed to meet an
obligation. Their fiftieth exhibition
program is in the nature of a cele-
bration.

Is Harmony Possible7

All predictions of harmony in Re-
publican councils seem to be very
shy of the mark. That Mr.. Taft wants
harmony, and is now energetically
working for it is evident. II may be,
however, that he has awakened TO
the seriousness OF the situation just
little too late. 1t may be conceded
also that both parties to the split
want harmony-both the Regulars and
Insurgents; but possibly both would
claim that they do not want harmony
when it entails dishonor Admitting
that both sides embrace many men
with honest. patriotic convictions,
that would have to be conceded.
History of the Split
Looking back calmly over the atti-
tude. of both sides since the break,
it seems that any impartial observer
might have to admit that the Insur-
gents have been rather the more tenn
perate and the more inclined to make
concessions. 1t may be recalled that
they were very patient with Cannon,
and never exerted their full power
against him-that they might have
deposed him If they had chosen to 90
so, and that when they curtailed his
power, depriving him of the right
to appoint the committee on rules,
they did not seek for themselves
places on that committee. IT will not
be forgotten either that they support
ed loyalty all the Administration
measures-that 1t was largely due
to their advocacy that they were
put thru.
Regulars Not Temperate
On the other hand it will be recall
ed that neither Cannon nor the Ad-
ministration was at all temperate in
attitude toward them. Cannon want
ed them hung as traitors, and--,lff--
ferent members of the Administra-
ton proceeded to read them out of
the party. But although they have
been called Democrats and Populists
wolves in sleeps clothing-they
have refused to admit that they are
any thing but Republicans, and claim
rather that they are the true rep
resentatives of the party-that they
are fully In line with the traditions
of the party.
Insurgents Exasperated
But, while they have been the
more temperate and the more ready
to make concessions, the constant
drubbing they have received from the
so called Regulars has driven them
to the point where they have decid-
ed to stand by their guns. And they
are not and have not been without
a following. Their slogan has been
all along, "The People against the
Interests" and they have caught the
popular ear. They were sufficiently
strong in Indiana to make the Ad-
ministration sit up and take notice.
They sought recognition in Ohio but
were squelched. They swept Kansas
and Numbered from Iowa. They only
needed leader in Michigan. and the
latest is that they have completely
triumphed in California.

Returning Tourists.
the New York Tribune.


Travellers returned home are of three
kinds-those who have nothing to tell
those who talk a great deal, but say
nothing really worth while. and those
who are better, more entertaining and IN

separate group should perhaps be MADE
out of a subdivision of the second cate

The American Army.

The annual report of the inspector gen.
eral of the army contains number of
statements that are surprising to the
civilian American. 1t comes as q shock to
be told by such an eminent authority that
the army is weak in essential points that
il is unready for field service. that the
infantry caglnot march well, and that
there Is a lack of specialization in mill
tary training and instruction. The crit
csm that there is q shortage of officers
and that the efficiency of commands is re-
duced by the absenteeism of officers de-
tached from line duty TO other work Is
more familiar to the civilian public than
the criticism that the army is not in
stantly effective for field service.
The first and necessary step toward tie
correction Of these defects in the mill
tary establishment is the recognition that
they exist. and this step has already
been taken. The foundation for the Of
fetal statement that American infantry
cannot march is not cas-. of explanae ion.
This charge was commonly made when
infantry was allowed to get soft in gar
rison, but for years the practice hike
and summer maneuvers have given the
infantry as well as the other arms OF the
service All the eS exercise thou&ht To
be needed. However If the infantry can

The Old Hymns.

The proposal to eliminate From
Greenlands Icy Mountains from the list
of hymns to appear in new missionary

la ymen to whom the old hymns represent
a wealth Of tender sentiment and assocla
tion. which means to them a great deal
more than considerations of rhetoric,
metrical structure or musical science.
The objection appears to have been made
that Bishop Heber's famous missionary
hymn "apostrophizes mountains and
winds and rivers'-but so does "Ameri-

and rills and tempted hills. If those who
object to the hymn on the ground that

The Crap-Shooting Problem.

1t is seldom that the courts. the police
and the civil authorities. all intent upon
the maintenance Of peace and order, are
DESTROYS of a reduction in the seNeflt!
Of the law in order to effect reform III
the conditions Yet that is the case just
presented by Judge Mullowny's recon-
mendation that the District code relative
to gambling should be amended to tighten
he penalty against crap shootihs any
other such forms Of gaming. AS stated
in The Star yesterday the only section
of the code under which crap shooters in
the open streets or spaces can be prose-
cuted prescribes a penalty OF not more
than five years upon conviction. THIS OF
course. means that such cases must be
taken before the grand jury, where the
extremity of the penalty commonly oper-
ates to prevent indictments. In any case,
however the grand jury may act. the
cumbersome process involved impedes
the activities of the police, WHO conse-
uuently try to cope with the condition by
preferring charges of disorderly CONDUCT
or obstructing the, streets against those
whom they catch engaged In this form
of gambling.
What is needed today is an amendment
to the code specifically recognizing crap
shooting as an offense apart from the
more serious forms of gambling which in
volve the setting up OF tables and at
which large sums of money are wagered.
Those who framed the sections of the
code prohibiting gambling undoubtedly
classified crap shooting a sufficiently
serious offense to be included with keno,
faro. poker, roulette and other plays OF
chance But there are fifty crap games
in progress in this District at any given
time to one poker game. The game ap-
peals to the young and the idle. While
the stakes are small. the aggregate of
money won and lost is large, and the
demoralizing influence is material
factor in swelling the record of the graver
crimes.
Section S6S of the code, under sub
chapter i: is to the effect that IAN
games. devices or contrivances at which
money OF aR!r other thing should he bet
or wagered shall be deemed a gaming
table within the meaning of these sec
tons; and the courts shall construe the
preceding sections literally. SO as to pre-
vent the mischief intended to be qua rded
against Unfortunately no way appears
for the Police Court to construe these
sections in any manner to give 1t that
jurisdiction over the petty gambling
cases which ii should have in order to
enable the police to break up this
practice. new section is required. either
defining crap shooting and kindred forms
of minor gambling and giving the Police
Court Jurisdiction. or empowering the
Commissioners to; write regulations gov
erning the practice, thus denOminating
crap shooting as an Offense against the
municipal law rather than against the
statutory laws of the United States.
