as she was on the border OF the two
contending sections Both the Wash
ington and Richmond governments
perhaps counted on this and were only
waiting to see on which side OF the
fence Kentucky would climb down.
AS to this there could be little doubt,
since the voters of the state had al
ready indicated that they were with
the Union. In the June elections the
candidates OF that side had been elect
ed by overwhelming majorlties. Yet
while maintaining her loyalty to tho
constitution Kentucky had believed TO
the end In peace and compromise, and
1t was dcubtless because of this scnti-
ment that she attempted to be neutral
In the struggle.
Henry Clay had been dead nine
years, yet his spirit was very much
alive In Kentucky. whose present atti'
tude seemed TO echo his lifelong prin-
ciples of loyalty TO the Union and Of
attempted compromise between the
north and the south
Hour For Compromise Past
However admirable the attitude Of
Henry Clay In his own time, the hour
for compromise was now past The
only way TO reach peace was by war
that would eradicate the root of the
trouble. As 1t turned out, the north
won few victories until after the is
suance of the emancipation proclama'
tion. In the crisis of n man or n
nation halfway measures do not an
swer In the nature of thlngs there
van be no permanent compromise In
matters of principle.
The foremost advocate of neutrality
in Kentucky was Governor Beriah
Magofin, who had refused Lincoln's
call for troops and had been constant
in his recommendation TO the leglsla'
ture to take no sides in the contest and
TO keep Kentucky soil free from blood
Shortly before the invasion Of the
state by the southern armies Cover
nor Magoflln had written both to Presi
dent Lincoln at Washington and Presi
dent Davis at Richmond, asking them
to observe the neutrality of the state
and to keep their troops from her bor
ders. TO Lincoln he protested against
a force Of home guards which Genera
Nelson was raising IN Kentucky with
out the consent Of the authorities. The
president replied In effect that thes'
forces had been recruited at the re
quest of ISentucklans and said that h
had every reason to believe q majorft
Of the people of the state Were in favo
Of their retention. Therefore he woul
not withdraw them. Mr., Davis r.
piled IN general terms that his govern
ment had respected the neutrality Q

capped, got handcar and ran back 10
the city to give the alarm. General
Anderson interposed Union force, and
Buckner stopped at Bowling Green.
Kentucky's action had immediate po.
litlcal effects. Senator John c. Breck-
inrldge, Humphrey Marshall, John
Morgan and others in sympathy with
the south now departed from the state
and took up arms for the Confederacy.
On the other hand. the Union men be-
gan active measures for defense. Gen.

but on account of i'll health delegated
the task to General William II. Sher.

Grant Seises Paducah.

General U. 5. Grant was at this time
in command Of the Union forces in
southeastern Missouri and moved I'M
medlately. Polk had entered Ken
tucl;y on Sept A, Zollicoffer on the
9th, md Grant threw his forces across
the river and seized Pnducah on the
9th. He found Confederate flags fly
ing In the town in anticipation OF the
seizure OF the place by the Confeder-
Etes. In fact, the southern forces
were only sixteen miles distant, hut
turned back when informed that Pa
ducah was already occupied by the
Tederals. Grant issued the following
pronunclamento:
81 have come among you, not as an
enemy, but as your fellow citizen; not
to maltreat or annoy you. but to re-
spect and enforce the rights of all
loyal citizens.
"An enemy in rebellion against our
common government has taken posses
sion Of and planted his guns on the soil
Of Kentucky and fired upon you. Co
lumbus and Hickman are In his hands,
He is marching upon your city.
am here TO defend you against this
enemy, to assist the authority and SOW
erelgnty OF your government.
"I have nothing to do with opinions
and shall deal only with armed rebel
lion and its aiders and abettors. You
-an pursue your usual ayocations with
out fear. The strong arm Of the gov
ernment is here to protect its friends
and punish its enemies. Whenever Il
is manifest that you are able to defent
yourselves ana maintain the author
ity of the government and protect thu
right Of loyal citizens shall withdraw
| the forces under my command"
The signature to this proclamation
"U. S. Grant" did not command th'
attention that would have been giyeI
II one year later, but was doubtless
| hailed With Joy by the loyal citizen
| OF Paducah. who forthwith tore dowl
the Confederate days.

Utmost simultaneously with General
Folks occupation Of Columbus Gen
eral Zollicoffer had entered the other
end of the state. He crossed at Cum
bcrand ford, captured number Of
home guards and took Cumberland.
Later he announced to Governor Ma
coffin that the safety OF Tennessee
demanded that the Confederates oc-
cupy three mountains In the vicinity
of Cumberland, which had been done.
The Union men claimed that the 81
multaneous occurrence of these two
widely separated movements of Polk
and Zolllcoffer and the Immediate ap-
proyal of President Davis indicated n
preconcerted Tlan TO invade the state.

Un the day previous to Grants oc-
cupation OF paducah Governor Magof.
fin had shown his hand. The legisla-
ture had already met on Sept. ., and
three days later Magoilln sent IN u
message demanding that the Union
troops under Nelson at "Camp Dick
Robinson" ana other bands raised in
the state should be withdrawn. In re-
sponse the Legislature took exactly the
opposite tack. BY decisive Ihajoritles
st passed resolutions demanding. that

tueky,l to enter upon "the discharge OF
his duties" ~
This was putting Kentucky into tho
conteStwit vengeance. Governor Ma
goilin promptly vetoed the resolutions,
but the legislature no less promptly
passed them over his veto. Not only
so, but It took other steps TO put Ken

ON CHARGES AGAINST
EOUCAT AT|0N BOARD
CONFERENCES HELD WITH Gov
ERNoR cRucE-sECRECY MAIN
VESTlGATION.

The cloud OF secrecy which fell over
the school scandal situation Saturday
coupled with the fact that both X. II.
Wilson, superintendent of public in
struction. and Robert Dunlop. state
treasurer, were in long conference
with Governor Lee Cruce, has led TO
the general belief that things are com
ing TO a head and that the sore will
be opened for a careful probing i'm
mediately.
Superintendent Wilson's session
with the governor was by Wilson S
wish. according to Governor Cruce.
Mr. Wilson was shown into the eX-
ecutive's private office shortly after
( o'clock Saturday afternoon, and did
not leave 1t until nearly 6 O'Clock.
While the conference was on he
said that he would be at his office
from s o'clock in the evening on, but
repeated telephone calls for the of
fee between 8 and . o'clock, elected
no answer.
Governor Cruce would give out no
statement regarding the conference,
beyond the mere fact that he and Mr.
Wilson talked over matters in gen
eral." Whether these matters had any
thing to do with the charges prefer
red by certain former members OF
the faculties OF the university and
the Central State normal school at
Edmond. he would not say.
The governor says that he has not
received from those who preferred
the charges any of the evidence and
affidavits on which the accusations
are based. and consequently no for
nal announcement of an investiga-
tion has been made.
The fact that the men who visited
the executive office Saturday are the
two eX-officio members of the board
of education adds significance to their
visits. as both are made members of
the board by the statutes, and are not
subject to removal by the governors
individual action.

Pursuant to a request of the Board
of Commissioners of the City of Ard
more, a mass meeting of the citizens
of Ardmore is hereby called to meet
in the District Court room at p. m.
Monday, July 81, 1911, to consider
the question of voting bonds for dig
gng wells for an additional water
supply to the city. Recent rains have
not been heavy enough to put any
appreciable amount of water in the
city lake, in fact the water there is
steadily falling. The City has no
money available to dig wells and in
order 10 do this, if deemed advisable,
bonds must be voted to meet the
emergency. All persons interested in
this important matter are earnestly
requested to attend the meeting.
