sembly in his presence agreed with
him. He presented three hypothe-
SEES for their consideration. First,
briefly: For the relief of the sick
and the injured 1t is absolutely
necessary that there must be an
adequate supply of physicians and
surgeons. If this supply was not
only not maintained but was coli
stantly diminished, what. the doc
tor asked, would be the effect up
on humanity?
Secondly; What would be the
inevitable result of a sufficient
number of school teachers was not
provided and kept up? But this
contingency need not be feared or
discussed. The existing ratio of
teachers to scools, in some sections
at least, is about five to one.
The third superstition related to
the supply of preachers, and the
amazing facts and figures hurled In
volleys at his hearers during the
discussion of this point certainly set
them to thinking. DR.. Crossfield
showed by his facts and figures
that the number Of preachers in
everyone of the evangelical churches
in the United States is decreasing,
and at such rate that the result
is inevitable unless the pendulum
swings the other way. This is, in
deed. The Crisis Among the Discip-
les. The speaker plead for more
preachers, for better preachers and
for better paid preachers. There
will be more preachers when we
fall into the custom of the good old
Scotch who plan to set apart at
least one hoy in every family for
the ministry. And when he is chos-
en- they educate him.
Dr. Crossfield was optimistic, be-
lieving that the Crisis would in
time be successfully met and the
world be won for Christ.
On Sunday afternoon the Chris
tian Church was filled to repletion
with delegates and citizens, The ex-
ercises on this occasion were of a
most interesting character rhe

Children
Beautiful Program Well RendB = !.
Sunday Evening.

One of the most impressive Child
reM's Day services it has ever been
our privilege to attend was given at
the Southern Methodist church on
last Sunday evening. The theme
OF the program was 1.-THE
Children's King" and for symmetry
and dignified beauty it would be
hard to conceive more pleasing
one. The aim was to present
simple yet attractive and compre-
hensive Life of Christ. The chill
dren were SO beautifully trained that
they entered into the story in an
unusually thoughtful way. The pro
gram opened with the Birthday OF
the King read from Luke 1880
in clear voice by one OF the youdk
girls, followed by a sweet solo, 'Bu-
der the Stars The visit 70 the
temple when a boy OF twelve was
given by boys who seemed to be

The Cradle Roll Reception follow
ing the story of suffer the Little
Children to come unto Me- was
the climax Of the evening.
The tiny tots gave a reception to
a dear little, real live baby in
go-cart. Martha Mayo Stewart, VINO
won the hearts of all who saw her
sweet baby ways. AS the organ was
played softly a floral cradle was
slowly lowered and the small re-
ception committee filled the cart
with daisies much to the delight OF
the baby. who gave each winsome
smile.

STATE CONVENTION
Report Of the Big DOIngs at
Louisville
Of Special Interest Locally, Because
Of Victory Of Vansant and Mayo,
Our Next Door NeighboTs.

A clean sweep Of the boards was
made by the administration forces
in the Democratic State Convention
held at Louisville, on Wednesday OF
last week. BY electing Governor
James b. McCreary as temporary
Chairman over United States Seu-
ator Elect Ollie NJ. James tie ad-
ministration scored its first victory,
and insured control of the state
organization by the administration
for at least four years longer.
The fight over the initial and
vital convention prize was fully as
interesting and close as had been
anticipated. 1t was probably the
most holly contested political strug-
gle witnessed in Kentucky is dec
ade.
Ollie James surprised the conven-
ton By making the speech placing
himself in nomination for temper
airy chairman of the convention. 1t
caused much discussion and the
general belief is that he made a
big mistake.
1t is said he took the step at the
urgent request of misguided friends,
who overestimated his strength, but
many persons are winking slyly and
asserting The has dug his own poll
tical grave"
Another body blow was delivered
Senator James, who championed the
candidacy of Colonel Urey Wood
son for reelection as National Com
mitteeman. He put up spirited
fight for the Owensboroan, who was
defeated by J. c. C. Mayo. ofPaints-
Vile, the vote being Mayo SOS and
Woodson 493.
An amusing incident occurred dur
ing the roll call of counties when
half dozen delegates singled out
Delegate Doug Hayes, of Perry |
County, and accused him OF voting
for eight counties. There were cries
of Put him out!'' and an uproar
Hayes voted Floyd, Rus
sell, Leslie, Knox, 0wsley and Knott
Counties, he said, but "held prog
les for EN- ALL" Each time he vot-
ed for j. C. c. Mayo. AS it happen
ed he had voted right" as recall
Of the roll showed.
The Committee report declared
ior Champ Clark instructions to

'ersy raging between President Taft

pledged the party to tariff reform,

itate at large and district dele ,

ord of the state administration.
The committee also went on re- {

Much Time Wasted.

/
Much time was wasted by men
and boys, not delegates to the con-
yention, who lined up against the
walls and at the rear of the hall.
who interfered with the speakers,
especially H. " McChesney. The
latter was forced to wait for 15
minutes before he was able to pro-
coed with his remarks.
The disturbers were the same
class OF thugs and beer-soakers that
are always packed into convention
halls in Louisville to try TO howl
down the opposition No State Con-
vention should ever be held in
Louisville.
Chairman Prewitt then announc-
ed that the time had arrived for
the selection of temporary Chair
man. There was tense period fol-
lowing this announcement, follow ID
by some nervous shuffling.
Commissioner of Agriculture ].
w. Newman climbed aboard chair
and facing the delegates, put IN
nomination Governor James B. Nc
Creary.
there was wild oatbafst or Ats--
plause and the cheering was pro-
longed. When it began to subside
Senator James made his way to the
rostrum, accompanied by Congress-
man Stanley, and once more pan
demonium broke loose.
The program said to have been
agreed upon was that Congressman
Stanley should nominate Senator
James. The Secretary finished the
roll call of districts and again cali
ed out First District"
1t was believed by many that Sem
ator James proposed to nominate =
candidate and thus in
directly control the proceedings Of
he convention.
