KING BOWED TO HIMSELF

From the New York Post.
The widow of Principal Story, in her vol
ume of Later "reminiscences" makes
several references to Queen Victoria.
OF King Edward, Mrs. Story tells a
pleasant story. He one time visited Mr..
Carnegie at SlSibo. Little Margaret Car
negie's nurse had given her, some time
before, a large print of the king; she
had placed it in conspicuous position
OH the wall of her day nursery, and when
any one came to see her she made him
or her bow to the portrait before she
would talk. Margaret on this occasion
took the king by the hand. led him into
her Nursery, and told him he must bow
to his own portrait. Everybody does that
who comes to see me- she said, and you
must do it, too" And his majesty bowed
accordingly, after which she gravely in
troduced her two nurses to him.

JUBILEE EDITION

Franklin Times: The Birmingham Age
Herald on the 18th issued a highly cred
table and magnificent special edition
known as its Silver Jubilee number. In
making Birmingham the city that 1t is
today The Age-Herald during % years
has been one of the important factors and
while Birmingham has grown with mar
'velous rapidity The Age-Herald has kept
fully abreast with the progress of the
Magic City and is one of the leading
morning papers of the south.
Ashville Southern Aegis: The Age-Her-
AIDS Jubilee edition last week of over
100 pages, showing Birmingham as it was
% years ago and as it is today, is a great
paper of vital important statistics and is
a splendid achievement of the push and
ability of Editor Barrett and his able
force. The Age-Herald is great paper
and has been a power in the upbuilding
of Birmingham and it's industries.

GermanY's Peace

The press throughout the world still
comments favorably upon the German
Emperor in connection with his silver
jubilee as the strongest peace factor
of Europe.
Nations should be at peace without
the cost of great armaments but EN-
peror William points with justification
to his large army and costly navy by
coupling his militarism with the fact
that during his reign Germany has
had no war.
In France there is strong move
ment among the socialists and radical
element to reduce the army to a mini
mum, but the socialists are hardly
strong enough to put such an idea into
effect. France can no more maintain
strong position in Europe without
military preparedness than any of its
neighbors.
All lovers of peace hope to see the
day when disputes among nations will
be settled by arbitration but the time
is probably far off when wars and
rumors of wars will cease altogether.
In the meantime, peace sentiment
is growing steadily. The larger and
more enlightened the nation the less
apt it is to have war and it will be
that way in the future, as a rule, more
than ever.

wv ASH1NGTON, June 29.-(Spe-
AA/ cial)-Far be it from us to
rise NJ and offer any adverse
or rude comments and cutting criti-
cisms of Congress-rather the demo-
cratic majority in the House-for shy
ing at III. budget thing that the lead
ecs tried to put over. It's not the fault
of the democratic majority. Far from
1t. Mr.. Underwood made a hard fight
for the budget committee and lost, and
when Mr. Underwood with his per-
sonal popularity and his wise and
thoughtful leadership falls down
there's a reason.
The fact Is, that before very long
the democrats will adopt some kind of
a budget plan. If they expect to live
up to their widely advertised conwic-
tions for economy-they will have to
do so. They realize this, but they
thought that the budget plan proposed
possibly had too many teeth in it, and
it's an awful hard job and a great
sacrifice to ask to turn loose all holds
upon large and juicy gobs of appro-
priatiops within your own control and
turn said control over to a bunch of
cold and calculating gentlemen with
about as much sentiment as a cold
storage egg.
The party in power, be 1t democratic,
republican or bull mooses, IL they get
in, cannot control appropriations any
how, only in limited way. They can
practice economy-only TO limited ex-
he
before they can reasonably expect Con-
gress to even take a look 1t 1t. The
people may rise up and kick a party
out of power for being extravagant,
and they probably will-the people
won't stand for deficits and things like
that-and woe to the party that reck-
lessly spends the public funds. The
COMMON people will throw nine fits and
soak the offenders in the Stats and
cast them from the temple and put in
the other fellows and Immediately be-
siege them, nag them, petition them,
and jab at them for appropriations for
this and for that so that they can
kick them out also In due course of
time. The people will 1aud a congress-
man who gets big slices of the pub
lies cash for his district, for public
buildings and for rivers and harbors,
and then they will stand on their left
eyebrow and waive their feet in agony
and vote right square against the ma
tional party which permitssit
This is one little inconsistency which

CAPTURE UNDERGROUND WATER

from fopulaf Mechanics.
An ingenious method has been employed
by Wyoming live stock company in
bringing to the surface and thus making
available for use, the waters of UNDER
ground streams, of which there are many
on the slopes of the Rockies. These
streams percolate through beds of sand
and gravel at depths varying from 10 to
Is feet below the surface, but are pre-
vented from sinking deeper by underlying
strata of impervious clay. In building the
irrigation system a row of steel sheet pill
ing extending across the arroyo, or dry
river bed, was first driven through the
to sufficient depth to prevent seepage.
The spillway portions of the sheet pilinG
were then incased in concrete, forming
continuous concrete dam. Since there
was no underground escape for the water,
a reservoir was quickly formed. provd-
Ing permanent source of supply for the
irrigation system. by which many acres
are being reclaimed.

SECOND WEEK OF
LEXINGTON'S GREAT TROTS

The forty-first annual trOttinG
meeting at Lexington started off Mon
day most brilliantly, and so far has
proved one of the most pronounced
successes ever held by this historic
association. The racing has been SUI
perb, the crowds both large and en-
thusiastic, and the management in
holding in reserve some of the great
est races for the second week expects
racing of the highest order to con-
tinue and the crowds to hang on to
the end. Monday ought to be aban-
ner day, for on the card is the Champ
ionship Stallion Stake for three-year-
old trotters, worth not less than S.
600, with forty eligibles to start, and
on the same day is carded the Ash
land, which promises to be one of
the best races of the meeting. for ell
igible to start are Tenara, Lou Dewey
Reusens, Uncle Biff, Santos Maid,
Star Winter, Judson Girl, Henrietta
| c., Barring, King Bellini, Westerville
Girl and Cochato. On Tuesday will
come the great race for the Castleton
| Cup, which will be another Transyl-
vania or even better race. On
Wednesday those who attend will see
| the Cumberland Stake, and the meet
| ing will wind up on Thursday with
one of the tmost brilliant cards of
the meeting, viz, The Kentucky, The
Blue Grass, the 2:07 pacing class and
the 2:06 trotting class.

which spoil within twenty-four hours,
while an infertile egg can be reserv-

BuRLEY BOARD ORDERS
DIVISION OF POOL FUNDS.

At the annual meeting of the dis
trict board of the Burley Tobacco
Society and the Burley Tobacco Com
pany, held in Lexington Tuesday af-
ternoon, it was ordered that a final
distribution of all the pool funds re-
naming in the hands of the Society
shall be made just as soon as an Or
der of court settling various tax suits
against the Society has been en-
tered H. T. Duncan, one of the at
torneys for the Society, stated to the
Board that an agreement for settle
ment of the suits had been effected,
and that in his opinion the matter
would be disposed of within two
weeks. Of fifty-two suits that were
pending against the organization
two weeks ago all save one in the
Kenton Circuit Court, one in Bour-
bon county and two in Fayette coun-
ty have been disposed of. The Board
was advised that an early withdraw
al of the KentOn suit, in which it
was sought to hold members of the
district Board personally liable for
operations o fthe company, was eX.
pected; that the suit in Bourbon
county was for nominal sum only
and that the two receiver suits in
Fayette county have been practically
abandoned. Upon motion attorneys
were directed to press the litigation
to an early conclusion, although nc
one of the suits stands as bar to
distributions of the pool funds.

All hail to the wizard Edison. No
motion pictures ever before exhib-
tied in this city have been more pro-
foundry interesting than the Talking
Motion Pictures that will be given
at the Paris Grand, on Friday and Sat
urday, and Saturday matinee, Oct.
10 and II. They possess a scientific
value that cannot be attributed to
the pictures of the familiar black and
white or garden variety. Not only
are the pictures shown on larger
screen than usual, but the distinct
ness of the voice and the synchrOni-
Zation of the subjects shown is won
derfully realistic.
Nothing has ever been invented
that caiuld as clearly illustrate the
educational value of the phonograph
and moving picture, as these wonder
full Edison Talking Pictures. No
more remarkable achievement of this
new photography has ever been re-
vealed in this city. The pictures are
both comic and tragic, a complete
program having been arranged.

DEMOCRATS GAIN IN
TUESDAYS REGISTRATION.

The registration Tuesday resulted
in the Democrats getting out their
full vote and the day passed off quiz
city in the several precincts of the
city. The total vote including the
Democrats, Republicans and Indepen-
dents was 1,423, against 1,1460 last
year. The registration shows a gin
of one vote over that of last fall,
while the Republicans lost IL and the
Independents 26, making a Demo
cratic gain over all of SO.
For the first time in history the
women participated in the registra-
ton, total of sixty-two receiving
certificates, forty-nine of which regis
tered as Democrats, twelve as Re-
publicans and one Independent.
From the fact a large number of
Democrats were absent from the city,
the registration was cut down to a
considerable extent, and those who
are conversant with the situation pre-
dict that with the supplemental reg
istration days from $50 to 200 names
will be added to the Democratic list,
insuring a Democratic majority in
Paris around 600. The registration
by precincts is as follows:
