EMINENT PHYSICIANS
SEE RUTH WARD.

Little Ruth Ward, who became a
victim of the little known and in
durable disease scleroderma several
weeks ago. has been the subject OF
study of many eminentAmerican and
foreign physicians recently. When
DIR. q. A. Thompson and other local
incipient stage, the child was taken
before the professors of medicine in
the Louisville Medical College for
examination. After an examination
by the college faculty and a number
of practitioners of the city of Lou
isv;lle the original diagnosis was
confirmed and the child WAS brought
home Last week the Southern Medi-
cal Association met at Lexington,
and eminent representatives from
all the leading cities of the United
States were present.. The little girl
was taken there for examination al
SO in the hope of finding possible
cure, the disease being accounted in
incurable; but these gentlemen, most
OF whom had studied abroad, spoke
most discouragingly of the case,and
some expressed the belief that TO-
Gay there is not another case of 1t
in the United States, More than two
hundred physicians were present at
the clinic, and a large percent OF
these have never run across a case
of this disease.
The little girl is now at home
here, and is enjoying perfect good
health. She is very robust and en-
joys her daily play with other chill
dren, and appears to be suffering
no inconvenience from the incurable
disease.

WHITESBURG, KY, Nov 25.,-
Down near Blackey,o on the Lexington
and Eastern railroad, local tough
named Garrett, OF Knott-co., made
a daring escape by leaping from an
east bound passenger train late sat
urday evening, breaking guard from
ueputy Sheriff william Combs, OF
Neon, who mad him under guard en-
route to the county jail here. Gar
rett was charged with shooting up
the new town OF Blackey and had
lust been arrested in the charge.
AS soon as conductor Bocook could
be informed of the outlaws daring
leap the train was brought 10
standstill and officer Combs went In
pursuit of Garrett
At last reports Garrett had not
been rearretesd. He Is said TO be O
refugee from Knott-co. and Is want

More or less small pox exists over
the county, and 1t is hoped that the
county officials as well as the Board
of Health will take steps TO check
the progress of the disease which Is
feared will at length make a gem

A new case developed day or so
ago at Colly, five miles from here

NEW SCHOOL
TO BE BUILT.

A new public school building will
he erected next summer by the side
OF the old school building on Fourth
street. This is the substance OF
statement given out by chairman w.
II. Trivette last Monday. The new
building will contain eight depart
ments, and the four departments of
the old building will be used for the
primary grades.
Every foot of floor space in the
old building is now being used, and
even the Railways have been fitted
up with stoves and benches In Or
der to meet the great demand for
education, as it is said that upward
of 800 students are at present
crowded into the four small rooms
of the present one. State officials
have advised that new house be
erected at once, as an inspection
shows that the present facilities are
not nearly sufficient to do Justice
to the needs of SO many children
who must be educated.
The grounds around the old build
ing have been filled and leveled;
and, while it is not by any means
an ideal location for such seat OF
learning as Pikeville should have,
yet by the aid of modern brick or
stone structure and proper fencing
and other decorations, flwoers, etc,
1t could be converted into a beauti-
full site, such as the city could be
proud OF.

The Colonel Is Off.
From the st. Louis Republic.

rom the 81. LOUIS ISspuollc
The colonel was angry as he sailed
away. An unfortunate contretemps at
that farewell dinner was the cause. The
colonel, 1t seems, went to the feast with
two speeches, uncertain which he would
deliver. In one We're passages not In
tended for publication; confidential ex-
as to how the colonel did things when
he was President. Entirely proper at a
progressive party, but to the uninitiated
likely to seem boastful The colonel
planned to blue pencil anything savoring
Of braggadocio but he overlooked II in
the revelry and the unexpurgated YER
sion went out to the press. The other
was meek enough to be turned loose in an
assemblage of superannuated standpat-
tiers.
It is not to be supposed for an instant
that between this fatal omission and the
special ail-night liquor license granted
the farewell dinner party there is any
connection or sequential Relationship.
Ishpeming has settled some questions
right and forever. It was just one OF
those irritating lapses, difficult to explain
and impossible to amend. 1t spoiled the
evening and marred the last adieus.
But the pitch OF the boat, the salty
tang Of the air and the long, blue. swell
ing Atlantic days will. we are sure, re-
store the colonel's poise and erase vexa-
tious recollection from his memory The
experience. however should be a warn
ing to the colonel never again to go to
dinner party with two speeches in his
system, the one explosive. the other in
nocuous. The man has not yet lived who
could tell what he might say at sue
eessful dinner party.

The Presidents Denial.
useh;nvton Peat ftodayl


In conspicuous place on the first page
of today's issue the Post prints a letter
from President Wilson. emphatically de-
nying that he has at any time said that
any one who does not support him is nc
democrat but q rebel. The Post is glad
to give prominence to the PRESIDENTS
communication and accepts his denial
without question or qualification.
1t is not now nor has it ever been the
policy Of the Post to misrepresent the
views Of the administration. The Presl-
dents statements are usually given prece-
dence over the utterances of other men
because 1t is recognized that there Is
more than ordinary interest in the views
Of the man who is at the head OF the gov
eminent. The greatest care Is given TO
representing his views accurately, and
when he consents 70 direct quotation, as
he did when he criticised the existence
of an ''insidious lobby against the tarin,
his statements are useo IN full.
The aim of the Post IS fairness and &C
curacy. Policies and issues may suggest
honest disagreement, but the POST Wouio
feel derelict In its duty to the public II
it at any time willfully exaggerated OF
misrepresented any public mans views
On any question. In the making or q
great daily newspaper, however, it is
sometimes impossible to investigate as
ton that comes into the Office. The ele-
ment Of human fallibility enters into the
newspaper business as in every other
work Of man. The Post employs accurate
and painstaking news gatherers and writ
ers. but in obtaining the complete his
tory of a days events there are times
when their informants make statements
that are inaccurate.
The columns Of the Post are always
open to the President Of the United
States and when, through error or mis-
information, he is misrepresented in any
way, we shall always consider 1t not
merely an obligation but q privilege to
make amends.

A national administration should not be

But there is another step which Mr..
Mitchell should promptly take. He should
resign the fusion nomination for mayor.

reasons.

sionists had failed to utilize Mr.. Whit

he declares that this ruling Is to be APP

Gratis to greater activity. Gov. Fielder
Is Mr.. Wilson's candidate. and Jersey
IS Mr.. Wilson's state. Democratic de-
feat there next month IL 1t takes place
will necessarily injure Mr.. Wilson, and
IL 1t is accompanied by defeat also In
New. York and Massachusetts, the in
jury will be considerable. II the Senate
at that time Is still holding out
against his currency bill 1t will beeome
more stubborn than ever.
What effect will the new tariff have
on the campaign? The law hits New
Jersey as 1t does other manufacturing
states. Among the democratic senators
and voted to send 1t back for further
consideration was Mr.. Hughes, Did he
obey a nudge from home? And did the
failure Of the motion he SUPPORTED and
the passage Of the bill as reported from
conference seriously offend the Jersey
manufacturers? And will they voice
their feelings next month?
Mr.. Wilson appreciates the impor-
lance OF the campaign from all points,
but particularly from the point Of his
personal fortunes. He Will put some of
his ablest lieutenants. headed by Mr..
Bryan, on the stump, and give Gov.
Fielder all the aid he can command.
Mr.. Bryan as an aid will be new in
Jersey. In other days he steered clear
Of the state. and when he was a candi-
date for President the state steered
clear Of him. 1t voted twice for McKfn-
ley and once for Taft Overwhelmingly.
But those were the old silver days.
and then even Woodrow Wilson was
against Mr.. Bryan. These are new days

cabinet and the man who converted
his chief to the new democracy, Mr..
Bryan should receive I'm Mr.. Wilson's

Boyhood Renaissance.

Oh, once there was a little boy who
thought it joy intense
To drag plant piece of wood along a
picket fence.
He loved the rhythmic racket that the
mechanism made.
It was his favorite tune from matin song
to serenade.
But as he grew to mans estate, his brain
expanded wide.
OF course he had to lay that simple JOY
of youth aside.
And yet it always echoed through his
memory. more or less,
A subtle inspiration to a higher useful
ness.
He is putting up q building that is
climbing toward the sky
And the rivets make a racket like the
tune In days gone by.
He hears the CHATTER with a sense of &C.
stacy and pride.
That melody of stick and fence so vastly
magnified.

The Sulzer Case.

The sudden closing of the Sulzer case
at Albany leaves it In situation Of
some doubt as to the outcome. 1t was
expected that the governor himself
would take the stand and deny the ac-
cusations against him, corroborating
the testimony of his subordinate who
assumed the full measure of the blame
for the inadequate reporting OF cam
paign contributions and the misuse of
campaign funds for personal purposes.
1t was also thought that he would make
sensational attack upon his accusers,
charging them with conspiracy to GUST
him from the governorship In punish
ment for his refusal to obey their cor
rupt behests. But abruptly came the an
nouncement that the defense rested its
case, surprising even the defendant HIM
self, who until the word was taken TO
him by newspaper men expected to go
on the stand today and begin his tale OF
revelation.
No one can foretell the decision of the
court. In this case the vote of two
thirds OF the members of the court OF
impeachment is necessary to convict.
The court consists of fifty-six members.
and thus il thirty-eieht Of them vote TO
sustain the articles of Impeachment, the
governor loses. The question now is
whether nineteen members of the court
have been convinced by the testimony
of Louis Sarecky that he alone is re-
sponsible for the failure to report all
the contributions received for the sup
port of Mr.. Suffers campaign and that
he alone has misapplied to the gov
ernor's personal account moneys given
for strictly campaign purposes. This is
the extent of the testimony in defense,
but there is in addition the claim. as re-
CARDS the misapplication charge. that
most if not all Of the moneys used on Mr..
Suffers account in Wall street were
given to him personally and not as cam
paign contributions. Judgment upon
such a point is not to be predicated solely
upon the evidence.
For two days arguments will be In
order and then the court will vote. An
amazing case is drawing to an end, a
case IN which public sympathy is nor
mally inclined toward the accused Of
flcial but diverted from him by the
nature Of his defense, and by his failure
TO testify in his own behalf. The soil
tary excuse for this latter phase in the
case is that only by his non appear
ance on the witness stand could Mr..
Sulzer avoid injecting his wife into the
situation Whether the credit for this
sacrifice rests with him or with his coun-
sci the fact remains that the country
has been spared the lamentable spectacle
of an accused public Official seeking to
shield himself behind a wornan's skirts

The Jersey Campsien.

Things are warming UP over in Jer-
sey. Democrats profess confidence, al
though there L. fear that the support
Of Gov. Fielder by the two "Jims"-

Progfessives are At work. although
their showing at the primaries was 30

Gratis. And the republicans are astir.
although suffering again from the de-
fection that cost them so dearly last
gear.
An interesting suggestion, offered. Of
course, TO stimulate republican activity
is that if Gov. Stokes Is elected he may
be nominated for President in 1915.
This would give the state both Of the
Leading candidates. leaving the pro-
sressives TO find their man east, west
north or south. Stokes versus Wilson
WOULD wake up Jersey three years
hence.

way, too. Is vail stimulate the Aamo.
