and would-be molaers Of public thought
and FACTION While from wise policy
our association refrains as a body from
championing most OF the policies that
might divide US along lines Of politics
or otherwise, yet we have in the past
practically committed ourselves in
dividually to such matters as a reform
TO our taxation laws (see page A. 1909
minntes)s social suffrage for women
tsee page 50, 1909 minutes): to a uniform
accounting and inspection law for
Kentucky same minutes, page 63); to
good roads and to Others Therefore it
would be 10 our everlasting honor il we
should be leading instruments in the
great nonpolitical reforms, the consum-
nation Of which would mean so much
for Kentucky in her material welfare
and educational uplift
In harmony with the above suggestion
let US recall the opening words Of ex-
President Harry A. Sommors, Of Eliza
BEETHOVEN News at Estill Springs, en-
titled eKentucky's Shameful Record.
He said: 'The public press and the
public school are the twin sisters Of
progress, intelligence and civilization.
They are so intimately connected with
everything which makes better citizen
ship and better conditions that to a
certain extent they are dependent upon
each other Without the public school
the readers of the press would rapidly
diminish and the State would soon drift
back into the darkness and ignorance of
the past ages. Without the public
press the school would lose ground. our
liberties would be menaced and the ad-
vancement Of humanity would receive a
rude shock. To no class of people of
the State should the public school be
more vital than to the editors. regret
to say that it is an interest sadly
neglected by most of our newspapers.
Letus give little space to the discus
sion Of the tariff and a little more to
the cause of education. Cut out some
politics and put in some school and help
lift Kentucky from near the bottom of
the column of States to near the top.
The last midwinter meeting, which |
was unable on account of sickness to at
tend, was said to have been the most
enjoyable and successful Of all such oc-
cassions in our history, thanks to the
Programme Committee and our Louis
vile hosts.
The coming meeting of the Legisla-
ture may call for the usual amount of
vigilance to prevent the repeal of our
pet measures. 1t would be wiser to
prevent such repeal than to undertake
further reforms at the expense of the
beneficent laws recently secured.
A salutary chance in our mode Of

Committee was made at Middlesboro

The Cause of Constipation.

Constipation is, in some cases, the
direct result from a typhoid or slow

Withholding of the flow of bile. This
condition is commonly allied with more
or less indigestion and dyspepsia, partly
due to the constipation itself
Many persons have found it compare

In our judgement, we feel that this

The following address was delivered
by a. d. Miller. as President Of the
Kentucky Press Association, before
that body at its annual meeting in

1908. on the occasion of our former

people, who supplied our party with
four solid days Of fun and frolic, food
and shelter. electric. sun and moonshine,
spending no less than $500 and all
their time upon US, il is not out of place
here to bear testimony 10 the great
heartedness and progressive spirit of
the people of the Magic City of Eastern

II is distinct pleasure TO meet here
again. thanks TO the urgency of loyal
and devoted John Lawrence and the
Hopkinsville brethren. Adown the

will narrate briefly my own story of

and attending its meetings which eli

that memorable meeting in 1905 where
Harry McCarty, Vernon Richardson and
Louis Landram were the chief hosts, and

Here I, a bashful printer, met for the
first time as a member of the profess

being of naturally ambitious turn,
with prodigious capacity for hard
work was then and there elected
secretary and treasurer Of the newly
formed Eight District Press League,
which position afforded opportunity for
study and work along all newspaper
lines that resulted in most surprising
rewards at the hands Of my brethren Of
the press. For four successive years
was retained as secretary of that league,
and through it alone was commanded to
the graces of the brethren of the State
Pres, resulting in my appointment as
chairman Of the Executive COMMITTEES

elevated to the presidency. In this mar
rative, there is nothing whatever but an
example of the possibilities that lie be-

however obscure, to receive recognition
at the hends of the press.

and hearty: cooperation in all

that there is no royal road to recognition

presented at the opera house last
evening, was Witnessed by a surpris.
ingiy small audience Although the
acting was not above the ordinary.
the .masterful treatment of the unusu.
al theme-mental telepathy-got a
grip on the audience from the start
and the interest was maintained to
the very last. 1t was a heavy play
IN every sense OF the term.
There was not much of a diversity
IN the acting of the company-it was
all rather acceptable. The big, pro.
found and vital theme of the drama
however, insured for the "Witching
Hour d deep interest, despite It's
somewhat commonplace presentation
On the whole "The Witching Hour"
was enjoyed by some, but 1t was evi.

Joys the greatest popularity with
Bennington theatre-goers.
