ials made by Democratic Legis-

ton of the Democrats in Con-
gress in both the House of

earnestly and so eloquently that
we have converted the Republi-
can party to this reform with but
few exceptions. We must not
desert it now. The foulest
charge that can be laid against
any party is that of insincerity
and betrayal of it's platform

the Democratic party has been
to keep faith with the people.
While, of course, | am great
ly interested in having an op-
portunity to submit my claims to

fident in the belief a majority of
them are for me, pre-eminently
above this rises loyalty upon the

the people in keeping sacred
platform promises. | have re
ceived thousands of letters from
Democrats of the State, includ-
ing county chairmen and editors
Of Democratic newspapers and |
feel secure in the statement that
IS per cent. of the Democratic
papers want the senatorial race
included in the call for a primary
to nominate candidates for State
offices.
IF the committee refuses to
include the senatorial race in the
primary it will do so IN open and
bold detianceof the almost unan-
imous wish of the Democracy of
the State. The members of the
committee are the servants. not
the masters, of the Democratic

The greatest undertaking in road

5000 FAMILIES MADE
HOMELESS BY DISASTER.

Washington, Feb. S-The eruption
OF Taal volcano and the accompany
ing disturbance, in the Philippines
killed 700 people in the town OF Tall
say, according To the report Of the
Governor OF Batangas province,
which was cablcd to the war depart
ment to-day by Gov. Gen. Forbes, OF
the Philippine Islands. The earth
quake shocks continue, the Governor
General added.
Among the estimates OF casualties
transmitted to the war department
to-day was report from Delegate
Apacibe, representing Batangas in
the Philippine Assembly, who placed
the total dead at 800. The delegates
report added that 5000 families had
been made homeless by the disaster.
The Philippine authorities are face
to face with the absolute necessity
of adopting relief measures in order
to avoid suffering, as the falling Of
mud and lava destroyed the crops
within considerable radius of the
volcano. The Red Cross Society in
the islands is taking steps toward that
end.

1t was arranged that the var
ious candidates for state Offices
will bear the expense of the
primary, the cost to be prorated
according to the Importance OF
the offices.
The candidates for governor
will pay $4,000, the maximum,
while the candidate for lieutenant
governor will pay $500 as a
minimum. 1t is estimated that
the approximate cost of holding
the primary will be $500
Congressman Johnson's with
drawal probably had considerable
effect on the action of the com
mittee today. 1t came as a
tremendous surprise to the poll
ticians assembled here and not
an inkling Of it had gotten out
before his formal statement was
made public. BY his withdrawal
he made it easier for Mr.. James
to batter the committee into tax
ing favorable action on the sena-
toral race. and McCreary appear
ed genuinely frightened at the
prospect that Mr.. James would
carry out his threats.
Directly after taking favorable
action. the McCreary forces at
tempted to give the surrender the
appearance of a victory for Nc
Creary, and his name was freely
coupled with that of Mr.. James
as the victors. 1t also was
attempted to give the McCreary
defeat the atmosphere of an
''insurgent victory. with Nc
Creary in the title roll.

JAMES, POSITION.

Il came from Washington for
the purpose of using my best
endeavors 10 get the Democratic
State Executive Committee to
include the senatorial race in the
primary which was called to
nominate candidates for State
Offices" said Mr.. James last
night. Democrats of the State
are greatly aroused over the
failure of the committee to in
clude the senatorial race in the
primary. They do not believe it
is either fair or Democratic to
deny them the opportunity to
select their candidate for Senator
in the same primary which the
committee has called to select
candidates for State offices. This
was done the last time. and the
Democrats of various States
have almost uniformly nomin-
ated their candidates for Senator
in primary.
The Democratic party has
advocated the election of Sena-
tors by the people for twenty
years in our platforms, in the
Democratic press of the country,

party on the stump, by memoir

BUREAU OF MINES WILL
BLOW UP A COAL MINE

The Bureau of Mines is preparing
to touch off an explosion in a real
coal mine to demonstrate the cxplosi-
bility of coal dust. Some say that
the government experiments at Pitts
burg have only a theoretical value be-
cause they are conducted in steel
tank and not in mine. The govern
mcnt is trying to hammer into the
heads of the doubters that it is coal
dust. not gas. that causes the most
terrible mine disasters. They have
bought mine and will blow it up to
prove it.
The experimental explosions will
have all the characteristics OF the real
disaster. without the usual loss OF
life, for there will be no one in the
government. mine when the dust ex-
piodes. When the poisonous gases
have been driven ont the experts will
enter and study the effects OF the ex-
plosion. Scientists have long known
that the dust OF coal wood and grain
is explosive; it is only within three
years that they have discovered that
coal dust is an explosive as power
iul as dynamite.

Louisville, KY, Feb. a. Ham,
mering into subsection the rep
resentatives of the strongest
political machine ever known in
Kentucky's political history,
Congressman Ollie James and
his supporters this afternoon
compelled the state executive
committee to include the United
States senatorial contest in the
call for a state primary. The
date fixed for the primary cleo
ton is May q.
Congressman James made a
personal appeal for the primary
form of contest for the federal
senatorship before the members
of the committee, and this,
backed by an implied threat to
enter the gubernatorial race and
defeat McCreary, the boss of the
machine, forced the committee
men to see his side of the ques-
ton. The committee agreed at
a meeting December % to hold a
primary for state Offices. but to
leave the senatorial race out.
That Mr.. James swung the COM
mittee from its avowed intention
to leave the senatorial selection
up to a legislative caucus is re-
garded as a victory for the Bryan
wing of the Kentucky democracy.
The action CT the committee,
it is forecasted by well-posted
politicians here tonight, means
that James will have a walk
over The other candidates are
said to be Senator Paynter, who
desires to succeed himself; D. G.
Park, of Paducah, and former
Governor Beckham.
Following James appeal to
the members of the committee,
two ballots on the senatorial
primary proposition were taken,
with ties resulting both times.
Chairman Henry Prewitt might
haye cast the deciding vote, but
each time he declined to do so,
and it was not until the third
ballot that victory swung to
James. j. Norton Fitch, of
Nicholasville, member from the
Eighth district, was the first to
swerve from the original prop
osition to decide on the senator
ial nominee at a caucus of the
legislature. McCreary, thorough
ly frightened at James threat to
get into the gubernatorial race
unless his demand was granted,
brought his personal influence to
bear on Norton.
Following Norton's change,
other committeeman swung into
line for James and the vote final
ly resulted as follows: For James

When Water Was Avoided.

Until comparatively recent times
there was a medical prejudice against
drinking water Sir William Vaughan
In his Natural and Artificial Direc-
tions For Health" declared that water
fought seldom to be drunk" Another
doctor admitted that it might be
healthful for children, but not for men
Except some odd, abstemious one
among thousand perchance, degen-
crate and of doggish nature, for dogs
of nature do abhor wine" Indeed, the
recommendation Of water as bever-
age was supposed to be the sign of the
quack. Even Wesley in his primitive
Physic" wrote of 1t with caution:
Drink only water if it agrees with
your stomach; if not, good, clear small
beer"

Gen. BOOTH May
become Blind
Aged Salvation Army Commander
Preparing for Time When World
Will be Dark to Him.
(By Union Associated Press.)

London, April 10.-Gen. William
Booth, founder and International COM
mander-in-chief of the Salvation Ar
my, is today receiving letters and ca
bles of congratulation from all over
the world upon attaining his eighty
second birthday. This years observ-
ance of the anniversary of the old
soldier of the Cross Is tempered with
sadness, since he is in imminent dan
ger of becoming totally blind, and
from every part of the globe today
prayers are going up that the sight of
the Christian general may be spared.
Gen. Booth has for weeks been pre-
pairing, calmly and methodically for
the time when the world may be
blotted from his sight. He realizes
that blindness will certainly overtake
him unless the wonderful operation
to be performed this fall by one of
the greatest surgeons of England
proves successful. He has already
lOSJ the use VI OHe eye, ONllS. IL 10
believed, to a speck of dust blown
into it, during one of his many auto
mobile trips. The other eye is sym
pathetically affected and is so enfee-
bled that he can hardly see. He is
still able to write using his fingers
as a guide, but he cannot see what
he has written.
Next fall the surgeons will under
take the difficult and delicate task
of clearing away the obscured lenses
of the remaining eye. and should the
operation fail, Gen. Booth will be-
come finally blind. Although he has
to go about with both eyes bandaged,
Gen. Booth has not ceased his activi-
ties and has recently made a whirl-
wind tour of Southern Europe, speak
ing to tremendous audiences every
night.

IS THE GOLDEN
rule A FAILURE?
Declares Christian Rule Of
Conduct Failure.
(Ry Union Associated Prsss.)

New York, April 10.-Is the Golden
Rule a failure? The answer is in the
affirmative, according to Mr.. Percy
Vivian Jones, who, in his just publish
ed work on Social Justice" declares
that the Christian rule of conduct, as
practiced by the Christians themselves
down the ages, has been demonstrate
ed to be miserable failure ard not
applicable to human life as it is. Self
interest is, and when enlightened,
should be, the dominant motive in
man, says the philosopher
Just what the Golden Rule was in
tended to mean," says Mr.. Jones, eve
have no means of knowing but, iudg-
ing by it's context, it may be imagined
that it's intended purport might be
that which is expressed thus: Do
unto another as you would that he
should do unto you, were you in his
place and he in yours.
"The rule presented in this form re-
quires of us to do that which is quite
impossible, for no one can possibly
put himself in another's place or cir
cumstances. We would have to be
exceedingly good guessers, and more
we would have to be workable mind
readers to be able to tell whit we
would have others do to us if we were
they, and they We're we, and thus be
able to know what to do to others ac-
cording to the rule. Therefore. this
construction of the rule renders 1t, as
rule of conduct, altogether meaning
less"
