ITALIAN RULE IN TRIPoLI.

Although Turkey still keeps up pretense of
war; Italy is firmly establishing her rule Tripoli
She is going ahead quietly but thoroughly but
already she has made wonderful progress com
plete transformation has already taken place in
all the coast towns, and the permanent popula-
ton has been completely pacifed. The desert
trlbesmen are still resisting Italian authority but
they are being steadily pushed back into the in
terror.
The Italian authorities are proceeding with
great wisdom and moderation, but at the same
time with great expedition. The coast towns have
been thoroughly cleaned up, polced-partly by
natIyes-and order and security established
Roads, hospitals and schools are rapidly being
built, and means of communication established
As the sphere of Italian influence extends, and it
is steadily extending, trade revives and road
building proceeds The Berbers and Arabs finu
that their lives and property are protected and
that better opportunities for trade and industry
are afforded under Italian rule, and in conse-
quence their prejudice and hostility disappears
Inc Italians have taken leaf from the expe-
rence of the French in Algiers and the British
IN Egypt for there is no interference with native
customs and the practice OF the Mohammedan
religion
complete transformation has been wrought
IN the city of Trpoh. The town has been thor
oughly cleaned up, modern system of sanitation
installed and an adequate supply of pure water
secured With the publication of the city plague
and other diseases have disappeared Tripoli is
now as healthy as the average European city of
the Mediterranean coast The nest of filthy
novels in network of narrow, crooked and dirty
lanes have been demolished to make way for
broad streets and spaces
Evidently it is the intention of the Italians
to make Tripoli commercial rival to Agers.
They have done much for Tripoli in year as
the French did for Tunis in ten. They are plant
ing European civilization on sure foundation in
North Africa and the progress they have thus far
made will bear comparison with the most success
full efforts the English and French have made in
Oriental colonization.

ARE WE WILLING TO PAY THE cosTq

Anyone who imagines that Mexico is so torn
with division that American intervention would
be trltiing matter for our superior military re-
sources, Us directed to placard numerously post
ed IN northern Mexico. 1t is quoted in Regenera-
cion, the local mouthpiece of the revolutionists,
and is as follows, in part:
We will die to the last man before our be-
loved country shall fall prey to the northern
invader. Rise up, Mexicans join hands, whether
you favor Madero or Orozco Zapata or Gomez.
Death to the gringo, who would attempt to steal
our country he has stolen the Philippines and
Porto Rico and has dominated and suppressed
Cuba
''No price is too dear to pay to resist these
money-mad people who are using pretext to
annex Mexico and humiliate her people,
Herein is the proof of the national spirit that
and Toltecs, almost to the last man Their hos
hatred Of Americans who would despoil them for
profit Proof is here too, of their complete under
standing of the motives of American iingoes-to
heap up selfish treasures by robbing Mexicans Of
liberty
Frightful reprisal in the blood of innocent
Americans in Mexico viii be the instant reply to
intervention. and after that an intermnable re-
sistance, even to the mountain Businesses to in
vaders who would take from them their priced
autonomy over the land that has been theirs from
the days before written history.
The price cannot be estimated that we might
have to pay in innocent American lives for con.
quest whose profit. if any, would alone be reaped
by men already rich who would keep their own
avarlcous skins far from the firing line.

HANDSOME
NEW CHURCH.
At Lafayette Dedicated Sun.
day By H. W. e.
lott.
ABOUT $500 RAISED ON DEBT.
Many HOpkinSville People Drove
Down and Helped Swell the
Crowd.

Sunday was one of Lafayette's
biggest days, the occasion being the
dedication of the new Chris Ian
church. 1t is probable that the
crowd exceeded anything known in
the history of the place. They were
there from far and near.
Many Hopkinsville people went
down, among them Prof. A. C. Kuy-
kendall and Mr.. and Mrs L. E. Fow-
Ter and Miss Gussie Kuykendall, who
led the singing. The dedicatory
sermon was preached by Rev. H. w.
Elliott, of Trimble county.
The services were conducted by
Rev. H. j. E. Stevens, who has been
preaching to the new congregation
for six months or more and has been
untiring in his efforts in raising funds
necessary to begin building and 9TH
erwise rushing plans to consumma-
ton. Many of the ladies of the con-
gregation assisted in every way pos.
sible and it was partly through their
efforts that congregation number,
ing only about thirty. five, but all en-
thusiastic and with q great object in
view, succeeded in accomplishing
where many would have failed.
When Sunday morning dawned
the new house of worship had debt
of 81 900 resting upon it. During
the day it had been agreed by the
leading members of the church that
this debt must be lifted and those
present should be called upon to
pledge themselves for what amount
they felt able to pay. When the
call for subscriptions was made there
was lively response, amounts being
called out faster than the clerk
could take them down. At the final
roundup the announcement was
made that about $500 had been sub
scribed. The announcement was re-
ceived with manifest enthusiasm.

OCTOBER 27
Set Apart As tuberculosis
Day.

Churches and religious societies.
to the number of at least 100000,
will be urged to give special atten-
ton to the prevention of tuberculo-
sis on Sunday, October 9th, or on
some day during the week preceding
or the week following that date.
This season has been set apart and
designated as the Third National
tuberculosis Day by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, which makes.
this announcement today.
tuberculosis Day was originally
set on April 18th. but was postponed
because Of a conflict with Conserve
ton Sunday of the Men and Relig--
ion Forward Movement. which was
held on that date. The observance
of tuberculosis Day in the Fall this
year will be utilized by anti-tcber-
culosis workers not only for the gen.
eral education Of churchgoers on,
consumption, but also for the pur-
pose Of interesting them in the sale
Of Red Cross Christmas Seals.
Every one of the 600 and more an
ti-tuberculosis associations allied
with the National Association. will
be urged to promote tuberculosis
Day in their respective communities.
While last year over SO. 900 churches,
observed this occasion. it is expected
this year that this number will! be
doubled. Millions of circulars and
other forms of literature will be dis
tributed. The support Of every re-
ligious denomination will be asked
for.
That tuberculosis is a serious prob
lem among church congregations, is
evidenced by statistics which the Ma
tional Association gathered last year,
which show that 10 per cent. of all
deaths among church members are,
caused by tuberculosis. Based on,
these figures and on the mortality
statistics of the Census Bureau, over
$1,000 of the 100000 communi-
cants in churches in the United
States die from tuberculosis every
year. This figure assumes that the
death rate of 1,6O per 1000 pepula-
ton in the Registration Area applies
to all churchgoers. when. as a mat.
ter of fact. the rate would probablys
be higher.

ONLY TEN DAYS TO DECIDE.
Option on Eight Of Very Best
Attractions Ever
Here.

Two weeks since this paper an
nounced that the board Of taber-
nacle managers could not afford to
put on course Of attractions for
the coming winter months under ex-
isting conditions and would not at
tempt to until it was assured by. the
people Of the city that they wanted
{hem and were willing. without
being called upon, to take certain
number Of tickets at the usual price
of 81 for the eight attractions (only
Is cts. each).
Since then there has been mailed
to the ministers Of the city by the
secretary of the board another prog
osition. which. briefly stated, is that
each church will agree to sell their
proportion of the required number
Of tickets to avoid an actual loss of
money. The societies of the church
;sss or any members of the churches
who will sell the tickets will be en-
titled to 10 per cent. of their sales up
to the required amount and half of
all sold above that. This proposition
is really more than anybody could
reasonably expect and is solely
prompted by the desire of the board
Of managers to give the people some
thing in ths way of entertainment
something which they will sadly
miss aid which they will long for
curing the winter months IL the
imposition is disregarded.
The board believes that our people
cannot afford to do away with
course Of entertainments which they
have enjoyed SO many years at a
mere nominal cost. They are not
only entertaining but educational
aud uplfting-noc for the young
orig, but for ali.
The secretary Of the board has an
optioiion several lecturers. musi-

equals of any that appear in the

bourn. or equally good attractions. |
But let it be remembered that the |
option on this talent expires within |
ten days, and if the people want to
secure for another season something !
they really should not do without
they must at once manifest that de-
sire by coming to the aid Of the
board which stands ready to do its
part in the premises. It is now up
to them, not the board.
If the pastors and members of the
churches are Indifferent. the young
peoples societies Of the different
ch{xches have good opportunity to
secure nice little sum to go into
their society treasury. Who will
get there first" is the thing now to
be considered.
