does not exist for private profit.
Now hope you already know what
the constitution OF the state means.
II Is the fundamental law; the legis-
lature itself has no authority to pass
a law which Is in conflict with any
provision OF the constitution and q
areat many laws which the state
legislature enacts, like the Holla I'd

taxation rests. shall only read yo1
Just sentence or so because that is
all that applies to our case:

ATTACK BY TURKS

Combined forces of Turks and Ar
abs attacked the Italians between
Hamidioh and Roumcliana. The Turks
displayed unusual courage but were
unable to withstand the fire from tho
trenches, the field artillery and the
cruiser.
General Cancva, head of tho Itali-
an forces, denies the charge that
his soldiers have been allowed to
practice cruelities upon the homes
of the Turks at Tripoli. He says there
is no truth in it.
THE SITUATION IN CHINA
The massacre of 10000 men, women
and children in the city of Nankin
marked the reddest day in the Revolu-
ton. Tho Manchus descended upon
the city, Nov. IL, and carried on a
Wholesale slaughter which was follow
ed by fire. The throne is trying to
terrorize the Revolutionists and the
slaughter followed an order by the
government.
Tho situation in Shan 81 province
is serious. The governor and family
and thirty Manchus have been be-
headed. Tho revolution spreads thru
Szchucn province. The council dis
cussed the possibility Of other foreign
intervention besides Russia and ia
pan. Famine is expected. The govern
ment continues to collect forces about
Pekin but is unable to pay them.
The fall Of Pekin is constantly fear
ed but things seemed to brighten
when Yuan Shi Kai the last prop OF
the thrcnc reached Pekin. He was
warmly greeted and made Commander
of all the forces about the capitol by
an edict.
He urges upon the revolutionists,
the acceptance of the constitution and
limited monarchy and that they give
the emperor time to prove the sim
certify Of his promise for reforms.

Kentucky Wins in Tax Suit Against

KENTUCKY WINS TAX SUIT


The U. s. Supreme Court decides
that kentucky has the right to TAX
the Southern Railroad Company on
its steamers plying between New York
and various southern ports because OF
the fact that the Company maintains
headquarters in Kentucky. Since the
Company had offices. at Boeohmont,
Jefferson County, and had paid no
taxes on their property, County Judge
Peters hold that they should be tax
ed. This decision was reversed by
the Circuit Court but was later up
held by the Court of Appeals and
finally confirmed by the Supreme
Court of the U. s. The property is
valued at $12,OOo,O0O and means that
the State and jefferson County will
receive about $350,000 in back taxes
and $50, 900 year hereafter.
O'REAR WILL NOT RESIGN
Since the election. reports have
been circulated that Judge. e. G.
O'Rsar expects to resign his position
as Appellate Judge to take effect o:
Jan. 1, 1912. He is said to have re-
ccived some very flstterirg offers
to form a law partnership in Louis
vile and for this reason was
considering the resignation from the
Court of Appeals. However, since
the reports have gone out state
ments from Judge O'Rear himself
prove tho reports to be false. He
says, 1.-THE publication is not true.
| am not going to resign. There is no
reason why such a report should have
been given circulation" He further
intimates that he will probably spend
a few days in Florida regaining the
strength he has lest in the heat o.
the campaign.
