nope OF securing a railroad. 1t
has made:many attempts to bring
about such an enterprise, but
each time lost faith before any
real effort was made, in fact, the
Observation-Disclosures prevailed,
formed purely of gas, drifted by
wind, bobbed up high, darted
north, then west, then fiickered
out to be seen no more for a sea-
son. The same has been true re-
garding the building of a pike to
the Green county line to connect
with the pike road to Green's
burg, All these feeble efforts
have passed, all failed and we
still have neither railroad nor
pike. There is not a doubt as to
the abilityssof this town and coun.
ty ITO secure railroad if an united,
determined effort is made. AS
we see the situation the only SEN
sible plan is to induce the L. &
N. to extend its road from Green's
burg to Columbia and if liberal
proposition was made to that
Company it would doubtless join
in the development of this Sec
ton. We could we'll afford to
secure the right of way and make
the roadbed between the two
towns gratis if the L. & N. would
complete it. s In fact, this sec.
ton would. make big money to
put up $4,000 cash to get the
road. The extension would not
necessitate additional cost of
operation and the increase of
businesssto the road could be
shown to justify the company in
its building if we could only unite
and presentsthe facts. If q few
men in this town will get to-
gether. formulate a plan then
call on all public spirited citizens,
we could put up a proposition to
the above mentioned company
worth considering. If We do as
we have done before it will never
be built The extension of this
road would have an electrifying
effect on Columbia and Adair
It would mean a new
Columbia and a live county. We
favor the effort and will do a
mans part and if our business
men will join in the resolve to
get the road, as above suggested,
or by joining a company and
building it ourselves, we will be
there to the extent Of limited
ability. Let us throw aside the
little whims that have hereto
fore blocked development of this
section, call a meeting and make
an intelligent, determined effort
to place this town and county on
the business map of the country.
Think this0over. Talk it over.
Help start the ball rollin'. What
think you? What will you do?
1t will revuire money and eff
fort, but this community is able
to do it with the aid that will be
given at the other end of the
inc and between the two places.
Outsiders may never pull us out

a few days rest would improve
him. l told himthat would not
come now as it would take about
three days to get there, but
would come soon if needed in
any business capacity. He said
that poor Patsey was as low as

1uS mGAlCdu SlLUdIlOH Is SClll
a live proposition and far from
settlement. The rebellion against
the Diaz government, successful
in its efforts, was a failure in
the establishing of peace and
national prosperity, notwitb-
standing the fact that the cleo
ton of Madero seemed to meet
popular approval. His reign was
short for rebel forces soon were
active and encompassed his over
throw and death. Huerta, as
provisional president. has not
been able to maintain govern
ment and we doubt if any man or
party could be found who could
do it under existing conditions.
Every reasonable effort on the
part Of our government seems to
have been made to bring about
better conditions in that country,
but nothing accomplished. Moral
efforts have borne no fruits and
it now seems that sterner meth
DDS must be applied if the end
desired be accomplished. Some
favor armed intervention, some
advocate the lifting Of the en-
barge on munitions of war. AS
we see it it is Mexican fight
and in order to get peace the
best way is TO allow the fight
carried to a finish and the victo-
rious party control the govern
ment. Separating beIIigerents
never brought peace, it merely
delays battle. A fight to the fin
ish, the raising of the white flag,
a complete and unconditional sur
render is the firm foundation on
which stable governments rest.
Our own troubles Of q half CEN
fury ago were settled when Lee
stacked arms a t AppomatoX.
From wreck and ruin, from a state
of intense partisan prejudice d.
rected section against section,
after one had exhausted its re-
sources, came government for
the people and by the people,
the most compact and prosper
Gus government of the world. |
Lift the embargo. Let them set
tie their own troubles since they |
are blind to reason and disposed /
to trouble, and when the arbiter,
powder and lead, has put one
party in power and the other
under control the days of insur-
rection will be over, permanent
peace with liberal government
will follow. Otherwise neither
party will be satisfied nor SUBJ
dued. Rebellion would follow as
it has since the flight of Diaz.
Had he fought to the finish one
of the parties would have been
sufficiently subdued and the
other left strong enough to have
established and maintained per-
manent peace. Separate two
dogs and they still want to fight.
Let one get whipped to a finish
and his bristles will keep down.
Lift the embargoand get Mexican
peace instead of American COM
promise to be followed by insur-
rections on and on is the way we
trust the Washington Govern
ment will decide.

The Vote on the Amendments.
Editor Adair County News:

inst, you credit me with having
by my efforts procured the large
adverse majority in Adair county
against the proposed tax amend
ment to the constitution. While
I appreciate the compliment it is
not wholly deserved by me. While
/ did what l had time and op-
portunity to do after l found
that the forces back of it were
determined to try to put it over on
the people contrary to the State
Constitution and contrary to the
act under which it was submit
ted. l used my best efforts to
inform the people what the pro-
posed amendment was and its
purposes, yet | was not alone in
this effort. Hon. Jesse Ewing,
candidate for Senate, in this Sem
atorial district, in his speeches
opposed the amendments, and it
should be said to his credit, that
every county in the district voted
five or six to one against it. You
published in your paper quite a
number of the articles furnished
you by its advocates and you
published my article which was
the only one that gave a copy of
the proposed amendments, and
the vote in Adair county was
twenty against to where there
was one for it. The Glasgow
Times opposed the amendments
and Barren county voted against
it. So far as have been able to
learn only one other paper in the
State undertook to give to the
people a fair statements of the
question to be voted on and that
is a paper published in Graves
county. and that county gave over
two thousand majority against
the amendments. The vote in
some counties in the State on
both sides was less than two
hundred, and in none Of the coun-
ties does the vote reported
amount to a third Of the vote
cast between candidates for Of
flee. This arises from the fact
that the constitution Of Ken
lucky and the Statute laws of
Kentucky were not observed in
having the people informed as to
what they were to vote upon. 1t
is evident that the promoters of
this scheme were not willing to
risk the whole people to under
stand the proposition, but de-
pended on the votes of the few
people that were personally in.

they termed a whirlwind cam

which they hoped to pick up some
votes from people before they I'M
derstood the question really at
issue. The city papers report
that the vote in IS counties has
been certified. These 68 counties
so reported include Jefferson, Fay
cite, Kenton, Nc Cracker, Daviess,
Warren and other large counties
and cities where the largest vote
and more especially the largest
vote for the proposition would be
expected, yet out of this large
voting population of about 3OO.-
900 only 62,041 votes were cast
on both sides. Now, the point l
want to make is this: Will less
than one-seventh of the voting
population of the State be al.

New Haven. Conn, Nov. 2.-Yale football coaches held council Of war" today and decided to send out 8 hurry cali for all former players to come back to assist in. rounding the team into shape for the Princeton and Harvard games. There Is gloom aplen- ty at Yale over the defeat by Colgate Saturday; but the loss of Cornish at quarter Is even more keenly felt. He was rapidly developing into first class quarterback and some critics had considered him of all-American cali bre. Thompson and Hammer, who succeeded him in the game failed to impress, and it is thought Fullback Wilson, who earlier in the season played quarter, may be drafted for the position. The problem of developing 8 new quarter. with the Princeton game two weeks away. is 8 serious one Cornish suffered 8 fractured Jaw and will be unable to play again this sea son.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET AT sTANDsTuL.
Volume of Trading Small and Price
 Changes Insignificant.

New York, Nov. 2-The stock mar ket yesterday was neglected, and the volume of business for the day would have been small even for a very dull midsummer half day session. Practi- cally there was no interest in price changes, and, aside from discussion along the usual lines which have been Business at the opening was of little account, as nothing had happened over night to stimulate any trading inter est; the leading foreign exchanges were closed, owing to All Saints day observance, and the affairs of the world which have been holding public atten- tion had developed no new phases. Initial transactions showed Reading and Union Pacific unchanged, while Amalgamated Copper had 8 small frac- tonal decline and Canadian Pacific was off 7S of a point from Fridays close.
 The weakest stock on the list was RI Mexican Petroleum, but this had no perceptible influence on the remainder of the list. Such trading as resulted in any changes in general proved to be merely an evening up that resulted in giving to the markets movements the appearance of a backing and filling process, with a slightly better trend in evidence. The trade reports for the week were interpreted as more favor able than otherwise for the present although the bank clearance for the entire country showed a decrease con,- pared with 1912

TIGERS EASILY DEFEAT
 HOLY CROSS ELEVEN
By score of 54 to o-Captain Baker
 Plays Sensational Game.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 2s-Princeton gave Holy Cross a worse drubbing Sat urday than the Worcester eleven re- ceived at the honds of Harvard earlier in the season, and bettered the crim- sons 47 to score by shutting out the visitors and rolling up a total of 54 points on their side of the score board. Princeton played much better football than they did against Dart mouth, but the coaches were by no means satisfied with the results of the new combination which they sent out on the field.
 Captain Baker was the individual star of the game and warmed the cookies of the Princeton rooters' hearts when he exhibited a brand of football which recalled the old days when he was Wnut to feature a game with sen sational dashes for big gains. Sat urday the cold weather seemed to throw him into high gear, with the re- suit that the crowd in the stands was repeatedly brought to it's feet by his clever lodging through a broken field
 Bakers stellar feat came in the third quarter. when Law tossed the ball from the visitors 45 yard mark to their 17-yard line Captain Baker was waiting near the s1delines and as the ball sailed by he made a wild clutch for the leather. The ball balanced on his fingers tips moment and then as Baker went to the ground it set tied in his arms The ball went over for a touchdown on the next two plans Streft scoring the tally on a line buck.
 An unexpected source of strength in the Tigers attack was uncovered when Baker kicked goal from placement from his 46-yard mark Princeton will now have to be considered dan gerous once the eleven gets a chance to make fair catch in either liar yard or Yale territory, in the remain ing two games on her schedule In kicking from touchdown also no. angle was too. difficult for Hobey and he scored every one of his tries, seven in Der of points which Baker scored with his toe up to ten.

Washington, Nov. 2-Resorting in the main to straight football, but oc- casiona1ly varying the attack with a forward pass or a crisscross forma- ton, the Carlisle Indians overwhelmed Georgetown university here Saturday 64 to 0. The Indians battered George towns line repeatedly and tore through 1t as though it were so much paper. The local collegians were on the de- fensive practically throughout the game. On the offensive Georgetown showed little improvement, and never threatened the Carlisle goal Guyon We1ch and Calack again and again broke through for long runs. Costello did effective work for Georgetown, ayerting several touchdowns.

MARIAN MISSED
 FROM HARVARD LINEUP
Crimson Defeats Cornell 23-6-Brick-
 ley and Mahan Effective.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 2-Har- yards football team gave Cornell a beating in the stadium Saturday after noon by score of 23 to 6. Keenness in following the ball on the part of the crimson secondary defense men was mainly responsible for the vic tory, since Cornell outpunted Harvard and rushed the ball in straight plunges almost as well
 The Cornell score came in the fourth quarter when almost every position in the Harvard line and backf1eId had been filled by a substitute. The Ith- acans started from the Harvard 40- yard line. and by a variety of plays, which included double and delayed passes, end runs, cross bucks and line plunges, finally pushed the ball over the goal line for the only points of sheet
 Brickley was the star in the Cam bridge backfeld. He scored three touchdowns and one goal from a drop kick, besides doing clever defensive work when the line was unequal to the task of solving CornelFs trick plays. Hardwick, Bricl1ley' as partner, contributed some heavy work. espe- cially with his plunges through the centre of the line. Hardwick, how ever was weak in bunting, for in the latter part of the contest he aver the kick. while his rival in the Cor nell lineup, Barrett, was send ing the ball for sixty and seventy yard trips through the air.
 Harvard'S attack was weak against Cornell, and the crimson showed just how much it missed Mahan, the sen sational end runner of the backfield who is out of the game with a poison ed leg. Both Brickley and Hardwick hit the line hard and gained good dis tances but the variety of plays which fleet dodger like Mahan can offer could not be had, and the Harvard stock in trade was so limited that the crimson was often compelled to punt.
