RESOLVED, THAT BREATHITT
MUST BE GOOD.

Bloody Breathitt," down in Ken
lucky, where a man is said to have
died a natural death when he gets
shot by one of his dearest enemies, is
to be redeemed. A convention has been
called for the purpose, and the dele
gates are to assemble on October 9.
The chances are that it will be one
of the most remarkable conventions
ever held in this country. The sudden
determination to make the community
peaceful and law-abiding will prove at
least as interesting as if the leopards
were to hold a general assembly with
the predetermination of changing their
spots. That instructive reaching for a
shooting iron, that nervous impulsive-
ness of the trigger finger have been
developed by good many lustrums OF
inherited notions in which the law has
not borne very conspicuous part. The
primitive ideas which prevailed before
the social contract have been pretty
nearly the rule of conduct among the
hardy mountaineers who in spite OF
every effort have thus far failed to bring
about peace or to exterminate one
another.
It will be a bold band of reformers
who meet in what we may call the con.
vention hall of Breathitt. Their com.
ing will hardly be looked upon with
any great degree of favor by the men
who dislike any disturbance of their
"ancient, solitary reign" and it is
within the bounds of possibility that
some of the more daring of the noun
tain children may come down and in
sist upon taking part in the debate
But the prize seems to be quite well
worth fighting for. old Breathitt is
really rich in natural resources. The
semi inaccessible Businesses might be
able to contribute right materially tc
the wealth of the State if the con
fidence of the investment world could
be coaxed up to the right point. But
money has no false modesty ant
frankly acknowledges its own timidity
The softest of mollycoddles will 60 intt
places from which it fees as the plague
It wants the law and all its minister
on its side.
1t will be interesting to watch tn,
proceedings of the convention which ii
to resolve that henceforth Breathitt
must be good. Just how it is to SCI
about enforcing its resolutions afte
they are passed is not very clear, bu
the whole country will wish the move
ment the success it deserves.

FEDERAL WORKER
HELD FOR STEALING
MRS. MORGAN'S RING
Goods Worth $4,000 Are
Found In Home Of Ap- :
praiser's Packer.

NEW YORK, Aug. a-SpecificaIly
charged with the theft Of a diamond
and ruby ring, worth $3.50, from the
luggage Of Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan
while 1t was in the appraisers stores,
James Prin was arrested at his home,
50 Watt street. Agents of the Depart
ment Of Justices Bureau of Investiga-
tion, who made the arrest, seized jew
elry valued at more than $1,000 during
their search Of Prin's house
In default OF 5000 bond Prin spent
last night In the Tombs. When he is
arraigned before United States Commits
sioner Alexander, Special Agent George
Kraft, in charge of the New York office
of the Bureau Of Investigation, hopes
to bring to light still other thefts from
the appraisers stores, where Prin was
employed as a packer.
Prin's arrest followed weeks of in
vestigation. Four agents carried on the
inquiry, which really dates back to May
this port. Mr.. Bird soon found that the
thefts of which importers, in particular
have been complaining for years, were
inside jobs" Until this time truck
men had been under suspicion as re-
suit of the disappearance of goods OF
For the most part the goods taken
were silks, laces, and jewslry. The In
Quiry by the Department Of Justice was
begun upon Mr.. Birds report.
Mrs. Morgan's ring had been sold fol
ss5 before It was recovered. The Gov
ernment agents found 1t on the finger
of a woman who was not only friend
of Prin but declared that she had
bought II from him. With the seizure
of the ring the agents went to the Watt
street house Mrs. Prin convinced them
that she had no knowledge of any oi
the operations of which her husband
was suspected and willingly allowed hel
house to be searched
by the agents, according to the state
ment made to Commissioner Alexander

COUNTESS OPPOSES
ACTIVITY OF WOMEN
IN POLITICAL FIELD.
Earl Of Dunmore's Wife
Says Home Duties Are
For Her.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. SLIT might
be thought that the wife of the Earl
Of Dunmore, viscount of Fincastle,
Lord Murry Of Blair. Moulin and Tul-
lymet, and heir to the estates of Dun
more, in the forest of Perth, Scotland.
would be a very imperious lady. holding
her head high and carrying the weight
Of her many titles with hauteur. AS a
matter of fact, she is less pretentious,
more democratic, and easier Of access
than many a woman who hasn't the
ghost of handle to her name.
At the BelIevue-Stratford, where she
is stopping with her husband, chair
man Of the board of directors Of the
General Accident, Fire and Life Assur-
ance Company, of Perth, who is investi-
eating affairs of the corporation in this
country, Lady Dunmore did less to at
tract attention than any of the other
woman in the lobby. She Is of COM
manding presence. more than six feet
tall and has the striking build Of q
woman who lives out of doors.
Opposed to Suffrage.
81 am opposed to suffrage and to
women taking any active part in poll
tics" said Lady Dunmore, because I
think by interesting themselves IN these
things women are neglecting their own
duties and encroaching on the province
Of men.
'I admit there are many Industrial
unfairnesses and many wrongs to be
riehted for the working woman, but /
cannot see why these reforms cannot
be effected by the men, who are the
natural lawmakers. 1t will be mis-
take to increase the ignorant vote and
to put the power of the franchise into
the hands of those who are not capable
of Using it. 1 am perfectly willing to
let my husband take entire charge OF
the political destinies Of my family"
While Lady Dunmore admitted her In
terest in politics and declared that the
English woman is obliged, on account
of her position, to be up in the affairs
of the realm, she said she has never
appeared in public to advocate this
reform Or that candidacy, and that she
never will be drawn into any public con-
fiict.
Where Woman's Duty Lies.
AFTER all" she said, reforms are in
stituted IN the home. and the woRan
who can influence voters and bring
them I'D need not fear that she Is not
doing her entire duty TO her country.
