THE MOUNTAINS.

"For some time past we have been
carefully studying the newspaper re-
ports of crime committed In Ken
lucky, and the trials of those indict-
ed for the same. We have especially
been comparing the record in these
particulars of what is known as the
Mountains of Kentucky with Louis
vile, the Metropolis of the state, and
Lexington, the leading city of the
Bluegrass. These two cities probab-
ly represent the highest culture and
best educated places of the Common
wealth. In each of them crime is
just as prevalent as a like population
In either the Tenth or Eleventh Con-
gressional District, and the per cent.
of convictions, in murder cases es-
pecially, is larger than in Louisville
or Lexington.
'We have, of course. been unable
to keep tab on all the cases in any
Of the sections, but barring the feuds
in the mountains, which We now think
is matter of the past, life is a
safe in the mountains of kentuck.
as it is in either Louisville or Lex
ington, and probably much safer. 1t
is easier TO fix jury or to prevent
justice In oar cities than in our
mountain territory and it is more
often done. 1t is time our metrOpol-
itan press should quit slandering our
mountain people and sweep cleaner
before their own doors. The estab-
ishment of churches and abolish
ment of the saloon are chiefly re-
sponsible for the improved conditions
in the mountains and if the Blind
Tigers could be put out Of business
the mountains would show still
greater improvement in the obser-
vance of the law. Whiskey from
lawless dives Is at the bottom Of
nearly every killing in that part of
the State "-ElizabethtowE News.

the countersign?" he at last roared
out. I'm the general and I'll have
you hanged"
The sentry was amazed. why, my
orders were not to let anyone pals
without the countersign," he en-
claimed. Let me tell you, I'm tired
of giving it. Such a lot don't seem
to know it,"
Words of this sort might be occa-
sionally heard:
who comes there?"
"A friend"
Advance, friend, and give the coun-
tersign."

"Begorra, so have ]"
One officer, approaching a sentry,
was surprised to be greeted with Eli
tiddle-de-hi-ti."
What do You mean by challenging
like that?" he inquired. THE last
time l was on duty" was the reply,
Il was told to challenge in a more mu-
steal voice, and that's the only tune
l know"
On the troopship st. Lawrence in
1865 an officer who had just got up
from convivial party proceeded to
visit the sentries, and this dialogue
was overheard:
Sentry"
Yes, sir"
You're asleep, sentry"
oh, no, l am not, sir"
But ] say you are asleep, sentry"
Very we'll, then, sir; am"
Then why on earth didn't you say
you were asleep, sentry?"
Because l didn't know that was,
sir, until you told me So"
"All right, sentry; don't let it oc-
cur again."
But that was British story, and
the following has more of the ring of
our war.
To test sentry an officer after the
salute said:
Let me see your rife" The recruit
handed it over, whereupon the officer
said in disgust, You're a fine soldier!
You've given up your rifle and now
what are you going to do?" The
young fellow drew out a dangerous
knife and exclaimed. "Give me that
rifle or I'll cut your heart out!"
The officer was more than con-
WINGED that he would, and hastily
handed the weapon back.

affirmative acclaim so vigorous that
there seemed to be an even break in
sentiment. But the roll-eall told an
other story. BY an overwhelming
majority of votes the Colonel was
turned down. and the confidence and
app.oral OF the delegates were later
bestowed upon the President.
1t looks as if the Roosevelt Boom
were largely one of shouts and sal
vcs. 1t owes its pOrtentOus appear
/, ance to the noiseiness of its promo
tiers. Theodore controls the mega
phone. but friend William, Of the
White House controls the votes.
Ii is interesting to note, however,
what the Colonel has achieved. in
tent;cnally or otherwise, by his ;lys-
terious and ambiguous policy. His
indirect and uncOnfessed entry into
the field some weeks ago, an entry
accompanied by means of lis friends,
and helped by his own comment on
public questions, resulted in putting
an effective check upon the La Fol-
lette movement and taking the wind
out of the Cummins candidacy be
fore ii had a chance to get under
way. He cleared the field of all pos
sibilities but himself and the Presi-
dent.
Then came his announcement in
which he declared that he would not
accept the nomination as the gift of
political intrigue; but that he would
not refuse it if made as the demand
of the people. That announcement
meant that he would neither make
nor countenance the making Of Il
fight upon the President; it meant
that. so far as he was concerned, if
Mr.. Taft could secure a majority Of
tine delegates to the convention he
was welcome to them; there would
be no interference from Oyster Bay
with the White House program.
This assurance is al the friends OF
Mr.. Taft wanted. No real doubt re-
mains that the President will go tc
Chicago with enough delegates 10
capture the convention. La Toilette
cannot stop him; Roosevelt has
spiked the Wisconsin's guns, pune
tured his boom. left him high and
dry. The Cummins candidacy is not
seriously taken.

MADER0 TROOPS WIN VICTORY
DROVE REBELS BACK AFTER
BATTLE OF PARRAL
OrOzcO on the Defensive-Must Now
Abandon TOrreOn Campaign and
Devote Himself to Affairs i'm North.

Jiminez, April 3.-Troops of Pres
ident Madero gained their first VIC
tory in the northern campaign when
they defeated the Liberal Gen. Gamma
at Parral and sent him scurrying
back to the base at this city.
Instead Of finding a handful of de-
tenders at Parral under Gen. Pancho
Villa, he was met by deadly fire
from force which he estimated at
1000 under the command OF Gen
Villa, Telleh Unbina and Soto.
Campo opened the fire at dawn
yesterday, firing at long range with
his artillery Attempting to press
closer, he was met by a withering fire
and retreated, having lost three killed
and IL wounded, according to his
own report today. He lost one Of his
big guns.
The presence of the federals in
force at Parral and the fact that an
other government force is approach
ing Escalon seem to indicate that the
rebels must abandon their campaign
against Torreon, and defend them
selves in decisive battle in the
neighborhood Of Jiminez.
The government troops apparently
have been strongly reinforced and
reorganized. Gen. Jascual Orozco
now faces an enemy on his flank at
Parral. and another coming from the
south, column hurried north from
, Mexico City a week ago. Campo left
here Monday with 500 men and met
no opposition until in front Of Par
raj. He was allowed to take a SEEM
ingly advantageous position without
opposition. No sooner had he posted
his men, however, than he discovered
in a rain OF bullets and shells, that
the federals were concealed on a
commanding hill. known as La Prieta.
The federals gave chase when
Campo retreated. The latter left a
rear-guard of 400 under Gen. Que
vado to check and harrass the fed
erals, randvto cover his retreat. AS the
country is rugged and mountainous
with deep arroyos, in which much
larger forces might conceal them
selves. Quevado was able to retard
the pursuers, while Campo returned
to the Baca. Quevado had been sent
originally to reinforce Campo. but
had only reached Baca, 20 miles from
Parral when he came upon his flee
ing cOmrade in arms
