CORPORATIONS MUST STAND FOR IT.

Concerning the matter of increased asses
ment on the various Kentucky corporation"
which the railroads are fighting, it is said of
the recent meeting at Frankfort that there will
not be compromise in the interests of the
railroad companies. A member of the Asses
sing Board said it would take no action that
would make the people thinkthat it had been
bought.
Auditor Bosworth said; 81 promised the
people would vote to make the corporations
pay their part of the taxes and so far as | am
concerned the Courts will have to settle this
case, for we are right and having nothing to
take back"
1t is believed that the State Board has no au.

ment is completed and the board adjourned.
The.rairoad companies do not want to go into
Court. They want to pursue the policy of
give and take, but the Assessing Board will
not back up, and unless there is a very decided
change in sentiment the question will go to the
Supreme Court

The draining of this country of money,
which is the case under low tariff laws, is what
makes it poor and weak. The gold and silver
of nation is its likelihood. Take it away by
the million to pay for goods manufactured
abroad and you sap our nations strength. just
as you sap an individuals strength if you tap
an artery Under low Democratic tariff we
send away our money-our blood. Under a
a Republican protective tariff we are getting
new blood all the time, because, as a rule the
balance of trade is in our favor. Read the
messages of our Presidents back in the fifties
and you will see that they tell,bow, under the
low Walker tariff, the millions of gold mined
in California went into one ceaseless current

Staunton, Va, Dec. 28-woodrow
Wilson, president-elect of the United

the same home and in practically the
same surrounding as fffty-six years ago
today when he was born. He had slept

a half century ago.
From far and wide have come ad-
mirers and friends The crowd began

PRAISE new CAME
Coach Williams of Minnesota
Likes Present Rules.
Offense and Defense Properly
Balanced in 1912.

New York, Dec. 8.-Praise for the 1912
football rules, with the statement that
they made possible the best game of
football ever played by American colleges, %
was expressed by Henry l. Williams,
coach of the University of Minnesota foot
ball team, in his report before the Ma
tonal Collegiate Athletic association, as
chairman of the rules committee. Tho
association, with delegates rrom nearly
ninety colleges and universities present,
met here for its seventh annual session.
Mr.. Williams told of the difficulties that
had to be overcome and of the many
radical changes that were made, all of
which he said proved most fortunate. For
several years back, he said, the proper
adjustment of the balance between offense
and defense, with just the right equih-
serious problem. The advantage, he con-
tended, had been on the side of the de-
fense and it had been well recognized that
as the goal line was approached the de-
fense became stronger through the draw
ing in of the backs to support the line,
that the scoring of touckdowns by
equally balanced teams was exceedingly
difficult. For these reasons, he said, the
rules were changed to four downs in ten
yards instead of three, a change which
he characterized as the most important
and beneficial introduced since the u
yard rule was adopted.
The elimination of the outside kick was
another change which he said was most
important fol- the best interests of the
game and was made because the commit
tee felt that the advantage OF the attack
cause of the decided danger of the de-
fensive backs, and because of the the de-
clded element of the chance and luck in
the play.

SELL The timber
School Land SquatterS Make
Good Money on 1t.
Prosecutions May Follow,
County Attorney Says.

Larned, Kan, Dec. 2S.-A new
phase of the Arkansas river island
school land controversies which may
result in numerous criminal prosecu-
tions has developed here. 1t has been
publicly noticed for the past two
weeks that all records are being brok-
en- in the sale of timber and firewood
at this place. Investigations show
that practically all the wood comes
from alleged school land islands
claimed by squatters under the school
land decision of the supreme court,
several weeks ago.
Squatters are clearing the land
claimed and selling the timber.
Because of the coal shortage the
market is very favorable. In most
cases the riparian claimants have
brought election proceedings against
the squatters and the latter have no
clear title to the land. County Attor-
ney w H. Vernon, jr., has publicly
notified squatters to discontinue the
practise or arrests will follow at once.
Some 25 alleged islands, valued at
from 125,000 to $175,00O have been
jumped in Pawnee county alone.
Numerous tracts of land, clearly ac-
cretions and not islands, have been
jumped and cleared. Owners of land
adjoining the river fear that unless the
practise is summarily stopped Arkan-
sas river bottom timber will be prac-
tically destroyed.

fewer CATTLE SOLD.
Receipts at Chicago in 1912 2S1,29S
Less Than Year Before.

Chicago, Dec 2s.-Fewer cattle by
2s1 ,29S have been received at the Chi
cago stock yards this year than in
1911. Despite this fact, more money
was paid for beef during 1912 than was
in 1911 by s3,2S2, ,735. The total paid
out this year was s1S3, ASS, ,9O9.
Three reasons are given for the in
creased price of beef. The western
states did not raise as many cattle as
usual owing to drouth. many farmers
are turning their pastures into wheat
fields and the demand for beef has in
creased. 1t was explained that the
population in the United States has in
creased in the last 20 years twenty per
cent while the increase in cattle pro-
duction has been only eight per cent
Beef exports fell off this year owing
tn the big home demand

Friends of Capper Will Likely
Bring One.
They Feel Sure That He Was

Will Chairman J. n. Dolley of the

the election of George H. Hodges,
Democrat, as governor of Kansas
Following numerous rumors of a con-

that he had not decided what course
he would pursue.
In an interview printed Friday
afternoon, Dolley made bistering
charges against the Democrats, denied
the legal election of Hodges as gov
ernor and intimated evidence of fr-
reguIarities and corruption. Then came
rumors that the Hodges election is to
be contested. Dolley admits that
matter, but that he himself has not
decided to take the initiative. But
to use his own words he reserves the
right to change his mind in three

that the Hodges election is to be con-

Republican gubernatorial nominee,
made public an announcement IN
which he declared that would not

Hodges counsel, urged the Capper
forces to get busy if they really be-

that the mere fact that Capper had

Subdued by Priest After Live

New York, Dec. 2S.-As the Rev.
Father Joseph Mccain was slowly
walking up an aisle toward the pull
put in the Church of Ascension, in
West One Hundred and Seventh
street, with a well filled collection
plate in his right hand, during early
mass, a we'll dressed woman stepped
from her pew and snatched four en-
velopes from the plate.
For an instant Father McCann was
astounded, but before the woman
could get two steps away he grasped
her hand. The woman, screaming,
tried in vain desperately to break the
vise-like grip with which the young
priest held her.
The struggle between the two con-
tinued for more than a minute. Many
women became hysterical and money
fell from the plate to the floor.
Detective Riley, who is a member
of the congregation, was in the rear
of the church. He had considerable
difficulty making his way toward the
fighting woman and the priest, but

to the police station, where she was
locked up.
Riley produced the four envelopes
which the woman had tried to take.
They contained $3.50. She was
charged with petty larceny.
After considerable coaXing she gave
her name as Mrs. Mary Cox, a widow.
She said she was "A years old. AS

Cox dropped a large pebble from her
mouth. She would not tell why she
had placed the stone there.

AN CUSTER SUIT.
w. r. BiddIe Files One Against Judge
Elect Hulett of Fort Scott

Alleging irregularities in the Bour-
bon county election, w. R Biddle has
filed custer suit in the supreme court
against C. E. Hulett, recently elected
judge of the Sixth judicial district.
Biddle, who was the Republican nomi-
nee, alleges that Democrats not regu-
larly appointed on election boards, were
permitted to assist in counting the
ballots.
Judge Hulett has been officially de-
clared elected. He has received his GER
tificate and his majority is shown as
80 over the Republican nominee On
the face of the first official returns,
Hulett had a majority of r. but it
was found that the straight Democratic
votes in one precinct had been counted
twice. When this correction was made
on a supplemental report, Judge HUI
lett's majority was reduced 81 votes.
1t is on this showing that Biddle
now asks that Hulett be ousted from
the office and that he himself be de-
clared the regularly elected candidate
for the oBurbon county judgeship..
