The troubles of the Republican
party in Kentucky are not the
only practical troubles in this
state. The old disruptors of the
party with Ollie James as lead
er is doing all they can to dispar-
age the present state adminislra-
ton together with some other
loyal Democrats of the state.
Their words, however, are no
more to the party in these days
of enlightenment, than the heavy
rains we have had this week are
to ducks back.

The TIMES and

After getting control of the
Republican State Central Com
mittee the whisky people have
now turned their attention to the
Democratic side of the PROPOSE
tion, and are using every effort
to put John W. Stevenson, of
Winchester, at the head of the
organization. The temperance
people of Kentucky need not rest
in fancied security. Watchful-
ness is as much necessary now as
ever as it is conceded that Il most
determined attempt will be made
at the next session of the Legis-
lature to repeal or modify the
county unit law. AS we have
said before some people are
against recall of judicial de-
cisions, but are working secretly
to have decision of the people
recalled. Look we'll as to the
kind of men you send to the
. Legislature. ."-Harrodsburg Lea
Those who know John M. Ste
venson, candidate for State
Chairman of the State Democrat
ic Committee, know best how un-
truthful is the above statement.
What puzzles us is what prompts
the eader to make such a false
allusiOn to Mr.. Stevenson, who
is known to be man of the high
est moral and christian charac-
ter, and an attorney who always
solemnly clings to every degree
of honesty and fairness in his
wide law practice. What the
Leader saws of the Republican
party is doubtless true, but there
is no semblance of truth in its
statement relative to the object
Of support of Mr.. Stevenson.

start for the east and visit King
Edward land. This last mentioned trip
was not included in our program, but,
owing to the fact that the English had
not reached it, at least this summer, as
was their intention, we all agreed that
the best thing to do was to make this
trip also.
On October 20 the southern party
started five men -four sledges, fifty
two dogs, and provisions for four
months, everything in excellent order.
The Journey to the Pole.
We had made up our minds to take
the first part of the trip as easily as
possible, In order to give ourselves and
the dogs a rational training, and on the
23rd we made our depot in 80 degrees
south. We went right ahead.
On account Of the intense fog an
error of two to three kilometers hap
pened once in awhile, but we were
caught by the flag marks, and found
these on our way without difficulty.
Having rested and fed the dogs on
all the salt meat they were able to eat,
we started again on the Goth with the
temperature steadily between minus
20 and 80 Celsius a degrees and %
degrees below Fahrenheit).
From the start it was the intention
MOI to drive more than 80 kilometers
a day, but it appeared that this was
little for our strong, willing animals.
At 80 degrees south we began to build

Victoria land and a range on the op-
posite side running in a southwesterly
direction-probably a continuation of

On the 18th we reached "a degrees

also, we made a depot.
From our winter quarters Fran
helm" rs degrees 3S minutes south
latitude, we had been marching due
south. On November II at 50 degrees,
we arrived at a place where the land
and barrier were connected. This was
done without any great difficulty. The
barrier here rises in elevation to about
300 feet, some big crevices on the
boundary. Here we made our head
depot. taking provisions for sixty days
on sledges, and leaving thirty days
provisions on the spot.
! The land under which we lay and
which we now had to attack looked
quite imposing. The nearest summit
along the barrier had a height from
1000 to 10000 feet but several others
further south were $4,000 feet or more.
The ley day We began the climb.

visions for four months started. The
ground was perfect, the temperature
not bad. The next day it appeared that
We had started too early, as the tenn
perature of the following days fell and
kept between minus so and 60 Celsius
(5S degrees and 76 degrees below
~Fahrenheit). Personally We did not suf-
fer at all from this cold as our good
furs protected US, but with our dogs it
was a different matter. 1t could easily
be seen that they shrunk from day to
day, and We soon understood that they
could not stand the long run to our
depot at 80 degrees south.
We agreed to return and wait for the
arrival OF spring. The provisions were
cached, and off we went for the hut.
With the exception Of the loss of a
few dogs and a couple of frozen heels
everything was all right.
In the middle of October spring
came in earnest. Seals and birds ap-
peared. The temperature was steady
between 20 and 80 Celsius (68 degrees
and Sc degrees Fahrenheit.
The original plan that all of us
should go toward the south had been

neighbors finally decided to bury him

He won't work, and he has nothing

reply.

TAFT ADVOCATES
BUDGET SYSTEM IN
MAKING REPORTS
Congress Gets Views on
Economy and Efficiency
" Commission.

Stating that there now exists no def
inite plan Of Government expenditures
and estimates whereby the head of the
Administration may be held responsible -
President Taft today sent message 70
Congress submitting a report of the
economy and efficiency commission. the
purpose of which was to provide "a
definite financial and business program,
to Congress"
The President said the present method
Of submitting estimates was highly un-
systematic and that in spite of much
legislation and Congressional investi-
made toward putting them on a busi-
ness basis. The President says he
would Ike to see system evolved
whereby a budget covering all Cover n
ment expenditures could be sent to Con-
gress each year accompanied by a mes
sage which would point oct the most
important necessities of tho admins
tratfve branch.
Referred to Committee.
The message was referred TO the COM
mittee on Appropriations.
The President also sent two other mes
sages, each of them asking action by
Congress, which would permit army Of
ncers to receiv" decorations from
Foreign governments. The Italian gov-
ernInent wishes to present a silver
medal and diploma to Capt. ]. f. Key
nolds Lands, u. s. NJ. for services at
the Messina earthquake disaster, and
the Cuban government proposes to give
medal to Captain Parker, u. 5. A., for
services in Cuba. These messages were
referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs.
Brief Session Held.
The House was in session twenty-slx
minutes, during which time the three
messages from the President were read.
At the conclusion, Majority Leader Un
derwood moved that the House adjourn.
Representative Mccall Of Massachusetts
tried to head off the motion by asking
II Congress had made any preparations
| to extend the Government departments
appropriations beyond June 30, evidently
having in mind statements from Cabinet
officers that the work of the depart
ments would be seriously jeopardized II
no action was taken by the Congress to-
day.
Mr.. Mccall asked for a division on the
, question of adjournment. The Chair
ruled that the Mccall proposition was
out Of order. Mr.. Underwood said that
there had been an agreement to trans
act no business today and he insisted on
his adjournment motion. Whereupon. in
spite of Mr.. McCall's protest. the House
adjourned.
