Committee on Resolutions made the
following report, which was read by
John T. Raulston, of South Pittsburg
We, the Republicans of Marion
County, in convention assembled at
Jasper, Tennessee, do hereby repledge
ourselves to the sacred principles of
that great political party which has
for the past two generations command
ed the confidence of the American peo-
pie to degree never equaled in the
history of any other political party,
and has shown itself to be eminently
fitted for and possessed of the highest
capacity to meet ana wisely deal with
the most difficult problems which
from time to time naturally arise in
the administration of the affairs of a
great government like that of ours.
We condemn the aggregation Of cap
ital for the sinister purpose of fixing
and controlling prices so as to prevent
honest and fair competition How
ever, at the sametime, we fully appre-
ciate the fact that without legitimate
investment of capital in large sums,
the natural resources of our country
cannot he developed, in which event,
labor would go unemployed and pros
perity could not exist.
Dullng the strenuous period now
existing, with its frequent clashes be-
tween labor and capital, a ceaseless
agitation against monopoly and cor
porat9 influence, with the spirit of in
surgency prevailing upon our Mexican
border, we appreciate the necessity of

In few minutes they had looked the
place over. then went to sit on one end
Of the sandbank so as 20 write out the
papers, while the boy stood some dis
lance away. Suddenly an idea struck
these robbers. In his pocket was fuse.
which is string of paper hlied with
powder. BY placing one end OF the fusc
In q keg OF powder in the sandbank and
lighting the other end of the string,
which was a yard long, he would have
plenty of time to get out OF the way
himself, for it would take flame 1T
tie time to creep from one end of the
fuse to the other
The robbers were some little distance
from the kegs. but an explosion would
for the boy to free his father. So while
they were busy over the paper Paul ran
to where corner of keg showed
through the sand, stuck one end OF the
fuse in crack, straightened out the
string, then lit the end, running off az
fast as his feet would carry him to the
top of hill. The men were too busy TO
notice this. In few minutes the fire
boom went a big explosion that shook
the trees, sent rocks tumbling down,
while the two men went hurting through
the air, then rolling down the mountain.
Paul fairly flew to the cabin. with a
knife he cut the rope that bound his
father and the two set out to look for
the robbers. These they found alive but
much bruised ana with broken bones, so
Mr.. Burns brought them kindly to his
cabin and cared for them until friends
carried them off to town. They had re-
ceiyed punishment enough, Paul
thought Then the claim was filed and
the mine named the Lucky Paul. And
very lucky II proved. for when they

Frankfort.-Py a vote of 35 to 80,
the house tabled the bill OF w. ".
Perry of Logan county, prescribing
the liability of an employer to make
compensation for injuries received by
an employee. The fight against the
measure was one of the most bitter
that has been waged during the pres
ent session OF the legislature. The
work Of killing the bill began when a
food of amendments poured In upon
the clerks desk. Before action on any
of these had been taken, John w.
Holland OF Shelbyville moved to table
the bill and all amendments. but this
was voted down, "a to "a, Speaker
Terrell casting the vote that saved
the measure for the time being.
Then the work Of adopting the
amendments began. and when it was
over all but Section / OF the bill and
the title had been stricken out. Rep
resentative Williams of Greenup
county scored his colleagues soundly
for their action.
Mr.. Perry, in speaking for his bill,
said the time had come when the
"cost of life should be considered in
the cost Of production" He said his
bill was modelled after the New Jer-
sey law dealing with the matter,
known as the employers liability
act" 1t is more in favor of the en-
ploye, he said, than Is the existing
law in Kentucky.

Champ Clark Incident.

Samuel Walton Forgy, representa-.
tive from Todd county, after the
"anti-pass" bill had been disposed OF,
arose to point Of personal privilege,
explaining that he had read in a
morning paper where some of the
house members had construed his
motion to table the motion OF Rep
resentative Howell to hear Speaker
Clark Of the national house of rep
resentatives, as a studied attempt"
on his part to "snub" Mr.. Clark. He
said nothing was further from his
real intention, he having been in
fuenced purely by the fact that a
great volume OF business is confront
ing the house. He said he held Mr..
Clark in the highest regard and that
in making the motion that he did he
believed he was acting as Mr.. Clark
would have done under similar cir.
cumstances.

the word "bank" or trust" as part OF
any name or title by any person, firm
or corporation except such as are au-
thorized under and comply with the

on the expediency of the establish
