Washington, March 27.-The aboli-
ton of war is not the dream of theo-
rists but the practical end OF prac-
tical plan. which, according to Presi-
dent Taft today, promises TO mark one
of the very greatest steps in the his
tory of the world, through the medi-
um of arbitration. The president has
taken the lead in a great movement
of the nations looking toward the
realization of a hope which found It's
inception in the year one, A. D.
Through a special interview, grant
ed by the president, the United Press
today is able to present for the first
time his views on this vast proiecs.
Under the unwritten law of the white
house the president is not directly
quoted, but in the following an -arn-
est effort is made to reproduce his
opinions as he expressed them.
Is Sure To Come.
Arbitration will surely come as the
means of settling international dis
putes. Disarmament is incidental. II
will follow as a matter of course and
has no part in the present movement.
The realization of arbitration will
make armament useless anC wnen it
is useless it will disappear. rhe way
to dispose Of armament is to prcvids
scme means Of settling interna'pnal
disputes without the use Of armament.
When that is accomplished, it Will be
time enough to think of armamerts.
England Favors Plan.
The first step is the formation of
an arbitration treaty with Great Brit
ain. The favorable manner in which
this suggestion has been received in
England speaks we'll for its early ac-
complishment. The favorable en-
dorsement in France is another indi-
cation that the time Is ripe. When
several big nations get togetner with
such treaties, then the others will OBJ
serve how the new system works and
all will come in.
The matter will be taken up imme-
diately Secretary of State Knox and
Ambassador Bryce probably will ex-
change ideas and the treaty will be
worked out so that it may be sub
mitted to the senate at the earlies.
possible time compatible with careful
preparation.
First Step by U. S.
1t is right that the United safes
should take the first step in this
movement. The hearty response with
which the plan ias been received is
an indication of this. Whilc the ex-
act details are as yet N q formative

Col. ODE Lancaster, who lives
on Kentucky river near the fam
GUS Salt springs, is one os the
strongest Republicans in the
county. Up until the day before
the election he says he firmly
believed O'Rear would win in a
walk, but that an incident occur
ed the afternoon before the bal
loting began that made him
change his opinion. He says he
has a great big bronze turkey
gobbler that walked round the
yard all that afternoon Growing
like a rooster. He says it was
particularly aggravating because
the dod-gasted fowl looked like
he wanted to crow right into the
door all the time, where he could
hear him. He says after this
occurred he told his neigbors that
O'Rear was" gone up" He says
he had about made up his mind
to work on this gobbler or
Thanksgiving day, but has decid.
ed to keep him as an election in
dicator.

The Democratic party in Ken

for the first time since 1895,
when the first division occurred
on the first silver issue. Since
then it has weathe-ed the storm
of several fierce campaigns with
fresh splits in all of them but at
last the party has buried it's diff
ferences, relegated the false
leaders to the rear, and one more

will do her part. - Hopkinsvsille

The Inauguration.

The Inauguration of Gov. Nc
Creary will be the most memoir
able in the history of the state
for more reasons than one. He
will be the first Governor to be in
augurated at the New Capitol,
and in all human probability will
be the last Governor from the
rapidly-thinning ranks of the old
Confederate soldiers. ln;Tformer
years the Inauguration of Gov
ernor of Kentucky served as a
reunion of Confederate soldiers,
and it is more than probable that
this occasion will serve as such
an event. The white-haired
wearers of the gray will be in
Frankfort on December IL of
this year, for every Confederate
soldier who can carry a cane will
be in town on that day, and the
inaugural parade this year will
be unequaled in the history of
the Capitol. A distinctive feat
ure will be the bodyguard of the
Governor-elect. His Garage will
be surrounded by the McCreary
Guards, and not college men, as
was the case of Gov. Wilson four
years ago. Instead of the col
lege yell, there will be the rebel
yell, and instead of flags of Har-
ward there will be flags of the
American Republic. Another
feature of the parade that will
attract attention will be the del
egation from Madison county.
One thousand people will come
down from Madison county to
join in the parade. Many of
them will ride through on horse
back from Madison county to

Go After the Eleventh.

The Dimocratc party can break
the Republican stronghold, the
Eleventh Congressional district
in the opinion of democrats who
have studied the mountains. At
the recent banquet given by the
successful Democratic candidate
to the committee which managed
the campaign, DIR. A. Gatliff, of
Williamsburg, said that he
brought good cheer from the Elev'
enth district. He said the time
was fast approaching when
thousands of the thinking men of
the mountain section would vote
the Democratic ticket. He said
that ignorance was mainly re-
sponsible for the overwhelming
Republicanism of the Eleventh
district and that had Gov. Nc
Creary, Judge Nc. Dermott and
others made a few more speeches
in this section there is no telling
what might have been the result
there. He said the Democrats
had neglected this section of the
State too long and what was
needed was to educate the people
to Democratic principles. He said
the sterling Democrats of that
section had sent up the Macedo-
Man cry" come help u.s." He
said unless something was done
the day would come when the
mountain section would rule the
rest of the State. He said the
fight should be kept up.

The kentucky Legislature.
Harrodsburg Herald.

Never in our recollection has
there ever been a Legislature
elected In Kentucky which has
such great opportunities before
it as the one chosen this month.
All the great problems looking
towards greater Kentucky are
before it for solution. More than
this. these problems for the first
time in quarter of a century
have pressed so hard upon the
people for sttlement that they
have found expression in both the
Democrat and Republican plat.
forms. When both parties
demand the same kind of legis-
lation in Kentucky there is no ex-
cuse for the Legislature either
ignoring or defeating, them. If
any one of the various State
plans do not appeal to the individ-
ual judgment of any member
of the Legislature, he should
surrender his opinion to the will
of the party, as he will then have
no apologies or explanations to
make to his constituency. On the
other hand a violation of : party
faith and promises to the sspeople
will most likely injure if not de-
stroy the future ambition of any
Representative or Senator. To be
a member of the Legislature
which meets in Frankfort in JAN
uary will be the gratest honor
that has every come to that body
in fifty years or else it means
just the reverse. 1t is a great op-
pertunity and from conversations
with a large number of the SEN
ators and Representatives we
are firmly convinced that the
Legislature will take advantage
of it that it will mark the dawn
ing and beginning of a Greater
