EARLY announcement
OF JUDGE VIM. N. REED
OF Paducah, for Democratic Nom
inatiOn for Governor is
Expected.

Paducah, Ky, March 1S.-When
seen to-day regarding his reported
candidacy for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor, Circuit Judge
William NJ. Reed, of this city, was in
conference with State Central Com
mitteeman w. A. Berry, whom he
authorized to speak for him. Com
mitteeman Berry said:
You may say that judge Feed is
thinking seriously of making the
race and he will reach a decision in
the next few days"
Judge Reed admitted that he had
the race under consideration. but
said he was not yet ready TO make
a statement. No more popular DEM
ocrat resides in Western Kentucky
than Judge Reed. and he undoubted-
ly would carry the western section
of the State solidly, saw his friends.
From a good source it was learn-
ed that prominent Democrats all
over the State are urging him to run,
and have promised to stump the
State for him.
Judge Reed has never taken a
prominent part in politics. His
friends believe he will announce ear
ly next week.

JUDGE HENSON WILL 81
PRESIDE AT GREENSBORO
AS Special Judge in Several
Cases in the Daviess Cir.
cult Court.

Judge J. w. Henson, of Hender-
son, will arrive in Greensboro the
middle of this week to preside in
several cases in which Judge Birk-
head is either interested or is other
wise disqualified.
On Saturday, Judge Birkhead re-
ceived a letter from Judge Henson,
stating that he was ready to come as
soon as Governor Wilson notified
him to do so, and the fact that the
services OF special Judge would be
needed was certified to the Governor
by Circuit Clerk Tandy Harl late
Saturday afternoon.
One of the matters to be disposed
of is in the case of T. A. Pedley, re-
ceiver of the greensboro Savings
Bank and Trust company, in which
the receiver filed proposition from
the greensboro Banking company to
purchase the Savings bank building
and all fixtures for $4,000 in cash.
Judge Birkhead is a stakeholder in
the greensboro Banking company,
and for this reason he declined to
pass on the question.
Before Judge Henson can consider
the question. it will be necessary for
an order to be entered setting aside
a former order directing the receiver
to sell the building and fixtures at
public auction and at an upset price
of $35, 900.
Other matters to be determined
by Judge Henson are motions In the
divorce case of Ollie Martin against
Edward Martin, in which the wife
of Judge Birkhead is related to one
of the parties. The special Judge
will also try out the case of Annie
B. Miller against Frank Jenkins. on
account of Judge Birkhead being d.
rectly interested.

Attitude Toward Us.
JAPs ANXIOUS FOR \ SCRAP

Washington, March 1S.-Most re-
markable confirmation of the hos

United States came to-day from J.
De Savornin Lehman, a citizen Of
Holland, WHO has arrived in Wash
ington direct from the japanese En-

startling statement;
Since my arrival in this country
have been surprised at the indif-
ference of the American people to-
ward the attitude Of Japan. 7 ming
led with all classes of people in the
different cities of the japanese En-
pire aud eXervwhere j went IL was
the main topic of conversation that
Japan hates America and Ameri-
cans. They do not conceal this la
tired They are possessed of SUI
preme confidence that they can
crush this nation.
japanese army officers and army
officers of foreign nations stationed
in Japan are of one oUtnion--that in
a war with the United States, Japan
would win. The Japanese have their
eyes first on the Philippines, then on
Guam, Samoa and Hawaii. Why?
Because the Japanese are indignant
because this country placed a ban on
japanese immigration.
There is no doubt in the mind of
any one who has recently visited
Japan that the country is a beehive
of industry in preparation for war
There is only one thought that this
war must be directed against the
United States"
The gentleman who sounds this
warning is not an alarmist. On the
contrary he is a staid. conservative
but observant Hollander. son, It is
to be noted. of A. F. Lehman. who
is a member Of the international

SENATOR DAVIS
IN P0CAHONTAS

United States Senator jeff Davis
delivered political speech at the
court house here last Friday. Quite.
a number of the Senator's former
political friends from different parts
of the county were present to hear
him. Senator Davis was met at
the train by one lone man, who con-
veyed him, in buggy, to hotel.
He was introduced to the audience
by DR.. G. E. Pringle, one of his
former strong supporters, and spoke
for one and one-half hours. His
speech was along the same lines as
those of his former campaigns,
with which most of our readers are
familiar. He belittled his opponent
and attempted to defend his record
as Senator, tlayed the trusts, the
Iron Mountain Railroad Company
and everybody else, whom he
thought was not for jeff Davis.
The points he attempted to make
will be noticed by this paper at the
proper time.
In his manner Of speech making,
however, the Senator has calned
down wonderfully since his former
campaigns and he utterly failed to
arouse any enthusiasm IN his audi
ence. There was no demonstration
whatever when he arose to begin
his address and not more than three
times during the course of his re
marks was he applauded. IL IL
very evident that the Senator ha'
, lost much of his prestige in thl
!, county.

The LESSON OF
THE CHRIST CHILD

Come to the stable az Dethlehem;
you that suffer from poverty, who
have known misery in many ways;
you who have felt hunger and cold
come to the infant Jesus lying in
the manger, and learn there the
lesson of patience and resignation
to the holy will of God. Let your
heart be filled with consolation, for
the Son of God has made Himself
alike to you in poverty. Though
the world may look down upon the
poor, may despise and condemn
them, let them remember that God
himself has honored their state.
The Babe of Bethlehem has lifted
up the poor and made them HIS;
He has glorifed poverty. He has
taken away Its reproach and It's
shame. Let the poor crowd around
the crib; may they learn from its
poverty how to sanctify their own
by perfect resignation, how to sane
tify all their privations and suffer
ings by perfect patience; and may
they understand and know the
blessedness of their reward!
And you who are rich or well-to
do, come to the crib and learn there
the lesson of detachment from the
goods of this world; go there to
learn the vanity of wealth; the dan
ger of gratifying every desire that
money can afford. If is in the
poor stable at Bethlehem that the
well.to-do can learn why it is that
money alone and all it can buy never
yet brought them real happiness. 1t
is only there they can learn the
way to use money, it is only from
; the lips of the infant Jesus that
: they can properly understand the
/, duties and obligations of wealth
Remember, then, you that are
wealthy, or well-to do, remember
that you are the trustees.s.4not the
masters of your money. The Get
take II away, And the only real
happiness your wealth can bring
you is to use 1t as God wills.
Remember that you hold all you
possess in trust for God-and do
not forget that the poor are the
special friends of God. Do not
despise or disregard them. You
hold your wealth for the poor-the
hand that is stretched out to you
for aims is the hand of Jesus Christ.
His hand is stretched out to you to
day for His little ones-the orphans.
BE generoGs to Him. Do not for
get these poor little children on this
day above all others when "unto us
was born Savior"
Cold must be the heart that has
no response to the Christmas senti-
ment, barren indeed the home into
which no recognition of the Christ
Child enters, no thought of that
inestimable gift that has made al
mankind brethren. To the poorest
and humblest of US this Christmas
message speaks. The wise men re.
quired the guiding of a star, but to
the watching shepherds the angels
spoke face to face, and there Is
Christmas sentiment in all the gay
streets and jostling crowds that the
wise men of our day are not always
the first to understand.
