The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1913-08-05


The plans have been accepted,
and work begun on the founda-
ton for the erection of an addi-
ton to the Presbyterian Church,
in Versailles, which will cost
$4,000. In the changes the lee
ture room will be enlarged and
made more attractive, and a pas
tors study, ladies parlor, kitchen
and toilet rooms will be added to
the first floor. Upstairs there
will be ten class rooms opening
on a balcony. The remodeled
Sunday School addition will be
called the Rout Memorial in hon.
or of the venerable DIR. Gelon H.
Rout, who has labored for more
than half a century for the church
at Versailles. The rooms in the
primary department will be espec-
tally dedicated to the memory of
Miss Cornelia Rout.- Paris Citi-
zen.
DR.. Rout is one of the oldest
and most prominent ministers in
the Presbyterian Church, and the
Rout Memorial is a fitting tribute
to his beautiful, consecrated life,
and that of his daughter.

Berea Fair

The Twenty-Sixtla Annual Fair
at Berea was held on last Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday. 1t
was well attended. The rings
were unusually good. It was our
good fortune to be present on the
last day and mingle with the good
people of that section of the coun-
ty and adjoining counties. Candi-
dates were as thick as summer
fleas and came from three coun-
ties. The cordial welcome given
by those in charge of the fair will
be long remembered and we en-
joyed our outing very much. 1t
was a great pleasure to us to re-
new our acquaintance with the
citizens.
Our fellow townsman,> J.R. Nc
Kinney, was very successful ex-
hibitor. His entry, a young colt,
won threepremiumsworth$12 $4,000.
Mr.. ]. B. White, of this city, al
so lucky. His celebrated mare,
Mosywaupin, driven by Mr.. James
Potts, won the free for all in three
straight heats. His mare, Miss
Douglas, won the trotting race in
three straight heats.
Robert Doty, near this city, took
the blue ribbon with his stallion
and won $500.
Edgar Doty was very success
full with his entries.
Chas. Dunn with his chestnut
mare, a full sister to Hazel Dawn
who won the 100000 stake at
Mt. Sterling last week, carried off
five blue ribbons in five entries.
She is d beautiful animal.

good men will, in the first place,
refuse to enter the primary; or If
they do enter, they will refuse to
violate the law against bribery,
thereby turning the. election "of
the people, by the people, for the
people," over to those who will
not hesitate to use the dollar in
debauching the ballot and who, if
caught, would be very willing to
perjure themselves to avoid the
penalty of their crime.
We believe in the honesty and
integrity of the people and believe
that law can be made regnant.
But in the matter of elections,
the law has SO long been defed by
the candidates and NULLIFIED
by the courts, which conditions
have been generally accepted by
the people, that these laws have
become dead letter statutes" in
capable of enforcement, unless
and indeed, the public mind can
be aroused to the necessity of so
doing. This Can not be done
over night. The universally of
their violation, which violation is
not accompanied by a direct
physical injury to either public or
Individual, impresses on the pub
lie mind a quasi immunity from
the consequences.
Our conclusion is that this stat
ute must be enforced vigorously
against all alike without fear or
favor or it must be left severely
alone, so that good men may
offer for office untrammelled by
the fear that they will become
enmeshed in the criminal courts.
They KNOWN advance that un-
scrupulous adversaries will buy
the floater and then escape by
the perjury route if apprehended.
A half way course in dealing with
this matter can not be tolerated.
There can be no such thing as
compromising with dishonor by
failing to prosecute. Therefore,
the conclusion is irresistible that
the violations of the bribery law
must be stopped and both briber
and the bribed severely punished.
Will the Circuit Court be as
sisted by the people in dealing
with the question or will it be
impeded and thwarted?
The people will have sixty days
in which to think over this ques-
ton and to determine for them
selves whether or not TRUE
MANHOOD shall be exalted in
Madison county and whether or
not HONESTY AND INTEGRI-
TY shall determine our elections.
or whether Mr.. Floater and Mr..
Dollar Bill shall continue to
dominate and control them.
We plead for integrity and
honesty.
On which side do you stand?
These conditions call for heroic
treatment and the men who love
their country and who love law
and order should rally to the sup
port of the Court in any effort it
may make to correct an evil,
which, longer neglected, may sap
the life blood of the nation.
Those who engaged in violating
the law did so with open eyes.
The Madison Circuit Court
must make good its promises
Otherwise, it has made conditions

SHAMEFUL

closed. For years the people
have been calling for clean cleo
tons in which the voice of the
people could be heard in the Sc
lection of their officers. The old
fraudulent convention in which a
few ring leaders ruled arbitrarily,
had become unbearable. To give
relief to the people from this con-
dition, the State, at its own ex-
pense, gave them the State wide
primary in which the poorest of
men may contest for office. Suit
able laws to protect the ballot
and maintain its purity were en-
acted. Some, indeed, have been
on the books from time imme-
mortal Those engaging in the
contest were subject to those
laws, and their entry into the
races obligated them to respect
and observe them. That the
most of them failed to do so, is
known of all men. Some few
men did observe the laws and
thereby became the victims of
their own integrity.
But to the point. There were
men engaged in that primary
who were under a most sacred
oath to uphold! and enforce the
law. Not only was their integrity
as citizens on trial, but their Off
cial conduct as we'll. But where
there is so much to blame and so
many to be blamed, it will not be
our purpose to single out individ-
ualS for targets.
The answer that nothing was
done that has not always been
done heretofore, will not suffice.
Ample warning was given by the
Circuit Court that it would not
tolerate a repetition of this con-
duct. 1t was given in public in
Struction to two grand juries be-
fore crowded houses; it was print
ed in the newspapers and was
publicly posted at the court house
door. All the candidates and
their friends knew of the warn
ing. The law itself gives warn
ing, for all men must know the
law and conduct themselves &C
cordingly. With all this warning,
the law against bribery has been
violated red handed" 1t was
done in open defiance of law and
and the highest court of the land
(We treat the question wholly
from a general standpoint from
this on and have no Individual in
view as the object of our remarks.
This makes an issue that is
fraught with the gravest danger
to the public. The Madison Cir
cult Court must punish the viola
tors of these laws or it must ad
NIT its inability to do so. If il
fails, its power to enforce law i.
broken. 1t is not a question o
what the judge wants or does no
want. 1t is the question, "Shal
the Circuit Court stand a powe
for the enforcement of law, O
shall it be brushed aside to sui
the convenience and pleasure o
criminals? In the solution O
this great question, the PERSONAL
ty of the court sinks into insie
nifcance.
The primary was given in orde
that the voice of the people ma
be heard. The only thing tina
has been accomplished by it is
turn the elections over to tn
fioater and the dollar. Instea
of intelligence ruling, a dollar bi
determines the election. Thi
leads to a corrupt governmer
and consequent dethronemer
of law. It will also lead to TIL

Fowl Cholera Its Treatment.

The best treatment for fowls in an
advanced stage of cholera is in the
comprehensive use of sharp axe and
the subsequent burning of the car
cass. Those mildly affected should
be at once removed to remote quar-
tiers and there treated. The follow
ing will prevent cholera, but plain,
common sense must be used, ad libi-
tan, at all times
After the coop or house has been
thoroughly sprayed, with a solution OF
one part crude carbo1ic acid to one
part gasoline and three parts hot
water, and allowed to dry, spray or
brush all the interior, nest-racks,
roosts, etc, with hot whitewash.
Place clean straw chaff for a litter,
and after thorough cleaning of the
water dishes or fountains, refill with
pure cold water, to which has been
added to each gallon, two ounces Of
well-dissolved sulphate tnot sulphite)
of soda. Allow no other liquid or
drink for three weeks or a month.

A disease known as Chestnut Blight
first appeared ON Long Island in 1904
The forests of West Virginia are
comparatively free from the disease
at present but it has entered on the
east and is killing chestnut trees at
a rapid rate ON the west face of the
Blue Ridge Mountains in this coun-
ty. 1t was hoped that the valley of
the Shenandoah, which is without any
chestnut timber, would act as an eff
fectual barrier to the spread of the
disease, but within the last two or
three weeks it is found to have en-
tered the eastern border of our great
chestnut belt In Berkeley and Morgan
counties. Unless prompt and vigor-
GUS measures are taken to check the
distribution of the blight before it
becomes widespread, there is little
hope that the vast quantity of chest
nut timber in the state can be saved.

Passing of Once Famous Tribe Of

All the world has heard Of the IA
nous Yaqui Indians Of the state Of
Sonora, Mexico They are for the most
part jewellers in the hills, crudely arm
ed with primitive. weapons, but ter.
rite fighters who have more than once
decisively beaten the soldiers Of
Mexico.
Peaceable when undisturbed, fully
alive to the richness Of their mines
and the value of their fertile valleys,
they sought only to defend that which
was theirs from the grasping hands of
those who desired their mines and
their lands. Like most aborigines,
however, they were doomed from the
first. What was at the time Of Cortes.
tribe of 5000 strong, able to defy the
warriors of Montezuma, has dwindled
until there are now not more than
500 souls In the valley of the Yaqui
river and in the mountain gorges
which wall in the source Of this
stream.
The bulk of the Yaquis have been
wiped out in sanguinary wars or taken
prisoners and shot, and those for whom
no excuse for death could be found.
have been deported to the fever strick

race are no more, but their passing

It is important that the seed corn
be placed where it will dry out rap
idly. An airy attic is a splendid
place, the windows being kept open
on warm, dry days. and closed on
cold wet days. The corn should not
be put in piles, but Immediately on
being picked should be hung up,
each ear to itself, or put in corn-racks
on on seed corn. tree. The tree
is easily made by mailing a five-inch
post, or AKA to any other platform
which is large enough to hold it up
right. Then every few inches on the
upright post nails are driven in rows.
The seed corn is then hung up by
pushing the butts over the nails.
Usually it is not necessary to use
a fire to dry out seed corn. But
sometimes in the cold, wet season,
it may pay to keep a small fire go
ing part of the time Do not let the
temperature run over 90 degrees, or
you may spoil termination, by causing
the moist, new corn to sprout.
Remember that after corn is once
thoroughly dried out it will stand
any amount of freezing, but while wet
few degrees below freezing will
often destroy the terminating power.
Especially is this true if the corn
has been kept in warm, moist place
and the germ has started to sprout.
By looking at the outside of the
kernal you cannot tell whether or
not this has happened. You can be
sure that it has not by keeping the
corn in. a dry, cool, airy place, where
the ears do not touch each other.
Better be sure than sorry.
