TERRELL IS
NOMINATED
BY The Democrats For Speaker of
The House of Representative
Vote Stood 43 to 20 On fifth Ballot

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 2.-The Sc
lection Of Claude B. Terrell, of Trim
Die county, as the Democratic nomi-
nee for Speaker of the House of
Representative at Frankfort Mon
day by the vote Of 43 to % on the
fifth ballot, was not so much de-
feat for Harry A. Schoberth. the
brilliant and capable young Repre-.
sentative as it is defeat for sam
SchackelfOrd, j. Campbell and other
Representatives of special interests
the members of the State Prison
Commission. and those other gentle
men generally ercOgnized as members
of the Third House at the capital.
1t was not so much a victory for Mr..
Terrell as it was a triumph of rhe
men who sincerely and honestly be-
Iieve in carrying out the pledges FOR
the taking of the Prison Commission
and the Third House out of politics.
With these two evil influences Ic-
moved from the politics of Kentucky
the state has an opportunity to share
in the progress of the states sur
rounding her. With Prison Com
chosen by the Governor, as it
should be lccted. the responsibility
for the management of the prisons
of the state will be placed where it
belpngs-in the hands of the Exec
utive Department of the state gov
crnment.

BASEBALL AND
FOOTBALL DEATHS

BY the uniformed football is gen.
orally regarded as being responsible
for more fatalities than any other
sport. Because of this general be-
lief, or possibly aiding it, jokesmiths,
since the game has become popular
in this country, have devoted much
of their time to poking fun at .he
long-haired, padded individual who
seeks to win fame for himself and
school on the gridiron. But as a
help to swelling the neurology re-
ports, football is outclassed by the
national sport.
During the season of 1911 seven
ty-nine deaths resulted from base
bail. while during the same year
twenty-five football players lost
their lives. In 1910, however, the
difference is more apparent, for
baseball caused the death of fifty
three persons and football killed
twenty-five. Since 1905 baseball has
resulted fatally for 1919, and 80
deaths can be charged to the alleg-
ed more strenuous sport. OF course.
one should take into consideration
the long playing season of baseball
and the much larger number of parti-
cipants.
A tabulated record of the number
Of deaths resulting in the last seven
years from fifteen specified sports.
and those unnamed and classified un-
der the head of "other sports.' i,
extremely interesting. Not even au-
can compare with base
ball in number of deaths caused.
For in seven years auto racing only
have been dashed from
to death against grand
stands, telegraph poles, fences. and
onces, etc.-Commercial Tribtne.

Toney to the list. and. as usual it
came originally from Toney. The

taken an interest in him to teach him
all the tricks of his profession. lie
had just finished some high praise Of
Mordecai Brown.
''But Chicago is a peculiar place."

STARVATION
Proves Fatal to Barney Hack, Mon
day Afternoon at City Hospital in
Louisville.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 2.-VOlrm-
tary starvation resulted in the
death of Barney Hack, aged SO, who
died Sunday afternoon at the City
Hospital after he had refused for
II days to partake of any food. Hack
was formerly a member of the Louis
eille fire department. Several years
ago while fighting a fire, he fell from
a ladder and received injuries about
the head that compelled him to give
up work of any kind.
Four days before Christmas, he
was placed in Jail by relatives pend
ing investigation into his sanity.
While confined in Jail, Hack sat with
his hands folded and all efforts to
get him to partake of food proved
anavailing.
Christmas afternoon his condition
became such that he was removed to
the hospital for treatment. During
the week that he remained in that
institution he continued to refuse
punishment and grew steadily weak
er until his death.

Catholicity by Rev. Jenkin Lloyd
Jones of Chicago, given on another
page. is worthy of perusal He found
Digotry rampant in Boston among the
descendants Of the Puritans and asked
What is the matter with you people
Of Boston," Then he lectured them
and laughed at their fears of waken-
ing up some morning to find the
United States swallowed up by the
Pope of Rome. He elected no an
plause when he said: 1.-THE United
States is not a stranger to the sancti-
Tying power of the Catholic Church."

The Michigan Catholic thinks that
doctrlnal sermons preached by Cath
Ole priests should find a place in the
daily papers that publish the discours-
es of Protestant ministers. No .loubt
OF it, but who is responsible? Cat!
Ole priests do not preach for publi-
cation. They preach extemporanecrs-
ly to their flocks or after they coln-
NIT their sermons to memory. They
never read from the pulpit type-wri:-
ten sermons like the ministers. The
latter believe with Byron that lit is
pleasant, sure, to see ones name IN
print" and so they call UP a reporter
or. send their manuscript to the news
paper office. They know the value Of
printers ink and get advertised. How,
few priests ever send their sermons
or any thing else to the Catholic press!
They are too modest and hide their
light under a bushe. The daily and
weekly papers are always willing tt,
publish sermons from Catholic
priests, but they are not asked to pub
lish them. That's what's the matter.
