the State. He even invades the for
eign field and tells what Diaz ought
to do in Mexico and why the Ger
man Kaiser is unpopular.
But his strong forte is local sub
jects. If he has no opinions, he is
tolerated. If he takes sides on a
live topic. he is patted on the back
by some and is anathema to others.
And the local field is more limited.
He cannot write every day on good
roads, or the school board, or paw
ing the streets. His readers would
soon weary OF single string.
We have tried to evolve a sub
ject. We have appealed to the Of
fee force and their collective mind
was as blank as the editors own.
So we decided to write about moth
ing in particular and let 1t go at
that.

HIS WIFE'S LAST WISH
FULLY CARRIED OUT
Aged Glasgow Physician Risks
Own Life to Fulfill Dying
Request.

Glasgow, Ky, May 1.-THE last
earthly wish of Mrs. John Langley
was carried out here when her hus-
band, one of the oldest physicians
in Barren county, with his own
hands and at the risk of his own
life, disinterred her disintegrating
body from the grave in the yard of
his home here and placing it in a
wagon, started on his overland jour
ney to Bowling Green, the childhood
home of Mrs. Langley.
Several months ago Mrs. Langley
died, after an illness extending
through many years. The husband,
after spending all he had of this
worlds goods in trying to save her
life, stood by her to the last obey
ing her every wish. A few minutes
before she passed away she asked
that her body be taken to Bowling
Green for interment.
DR.. Langley was unable at that
time to accompany the body, being
i'll himself, but had it buried near
the home here. A few days ago he
sent for an undertaken to come and
remove the body. When the grave
was opened it was found to be full
of water, the body was disintegrat-
ing and the odor was so bad that
the undertaken closed the grave and
informed DR.. Langley that the body
could not be moved.
The husband declared that his
wife's last request should be grant
ed if it cost him his life. He then
opened the grave himself, made an
opening in the earth beside the
grave and ditched the water into the
hole and with his own hands wash
ed the face of the corpse, and wrap
ping the body, he placed it in a
wagon and started on the tiresome
journey to the picturesque valleys
Of warren county, where she longed
to be buried.

a consequence we will live to great
err ages. The natural food" coun-
tries, Scandinavia, Hungary and
Bulgaria. he says, are overrun by
centenarians, Bulgaria having near
ly 1000, compared with only in
pork-eating Germany. His reasons
for not cooking food are that in its
natural state it contains three times
the nutritive value of cooked food.
Therefore, We have to eat three
times as much and give our diges-
tive organs three time as much
work. He neglects, strangely
enough, the even more important ar
gument that We have to foot a bill
three times as large. Perhaps this
is the real solution of the cost of
the living promlem. But we have
our doubts. The fact that animals
do not cook their food may be
matched by other things that man
does and they do not. Neither do
they use knives and forks. Must we
return to our fingers also? Must
civilization go with the cook? If
so, it is probable her departure will
be indefinitely postponed-[ Pitts

DECISION OF AN
IMPORTANT CASE
Regarding the Work of
Fiscal Courts.
HAVE NO POWER TO DELEGATE
To a Commute the Right to
Make Contracts for
aCOunty.
MUST BE LET BY MAGISTRATES

Frankfort, Ky, May 19.-The
Court of Appeals has decided a case
Of. vital Importance to the county
fiscal courts of the State, holding
that a fiscal court has no power to
delegate to a committee the right to
make contracts and agree on tie
amounts that shall be paid for
bridges and other road improve
ments.
The case was Floyd county
against the Oswego Bridge company,
which came up from Floyd county.
The fiscal court of that county an
pointed a committee not members
of the court with full power to
make contracts for the building of
three iron bridges. The committee
went ahead with the work, let the
contracts to the Oswego company,
which was the lowest bidder, the
three bridges costing in round num-
bers $4,000. BY the time the
work was completed, the personnel
of the fiscal court had changed and
the new court refused to pay the
81 1000 on tie ground that the Gs-
cal court had no ground to delegate
its power to a committee and that
the committee could rot bind the
county for any debt created by T..
The lower court decided in favor of
the bridge company. The county
appealed and the higher court saws
the fiscal court is right and the
county cannot be compelled to pay
for the bridges under the circum-
stances.
The opinion SAYS: at may be
hardship on the bridge company to
get no pay for its bridges, but that
is the penalty of making a contract
with a committee or corporation
without inquiring into the power it
has to make such a contract. The
county will not be allowed to use
these bridges without paying for
them, however, and the bridge COM
pany may take down and remove
the bridges and material used in
their construction, as this is its only
remedy under the law"

Who Shall Head the Dem-
ocratic Hosts
IN THEIR MARCH TO VICTORY
His Trip Through the Far
West Creates Strong
1912 Sentiment.
MUCH ASSURANCE OF SUPPORT

= The warmth of the reception CIV
en- to Governor Wilson by the people
of Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia has exceeded even the enthu-
siastic welcomes which he received
at KansasCity and at Denver. Cover
nor Wilson left last night for San
Francisco, after a conference with
the leaders of the Democratic par
ty in this end OF the State, taking
with him the assurance that this
section of the Pacific Coast is his
to do as he pleases with.
While Governor Wilson has not
as yet avowed himself publicly a
candidate for the Presidential nom
ination, he has been accepted as
! such as every point that he has Wis
tied since leaving Princeton on May
8, and it is no exagge~ation to say
that the expressions of public es-
TEEN which have been accorded him
make it clear that he is the man
whom the West regards as being the
Moses to lead the Democratic party
to victory in 1919. --
These were the sentiments ex-
pressed by Democratic leaders in
Kansas City, in the very heart of
Williams Jennings Bryan's own ter
ritory. They were expressed by
men who travelled through Nebraska
and who welcomed him at various
stops along the line.
During the three-day stop in Dem
yer, Democrats identified with all of
the factions into which Colorado
Democracy is soft gave him assur-
aaces of their earnest AMI undivided
support.
The Wilson sentiment H. Denver,
as in Kansas City, had been strong
before his visits. Personal contact
with the man soon crystallized
the earlier good impressions which
the people had of him, and he left
Denver with an active organization
to work in his behalf already under
way. Along the route from Denver
to Los Angeles, Governor Wilson was
also acclaimed as a favorite in the
Presidential race. At Albuquerque,
N. NJ, where he stopped off for half
an hour, a crowd of more than L.
600 had turned out to welcome him
and to hear him deliver a brief adj
dress. 1t was the first time he had
ever travelled farther West than
Denver. There. too, he was assur-
ed that the Democrats of New Mex
leo regarded him as the man who
should head the ticket next year.
But all of the enthusiasm and in
terest displayed further East paled
before the welcome which Los An
geles and Pasadena gave him. Per-
haps the most significant thing
about Southern Colorado's greeting
was the assurance which came to
him from hundreds of men that he
would not only have the support of
the united Democracy OF this sec
ton, but that he alone of all men
who have been proposed or sug-
gested as Democratic Presidential
candidates, would win the votes of
the entire progressive Republican
element. And there are verv few,
of the other kind OF Republicans
left in California.-tLos Angeles
