Not a Knocker, But A. K. I
Knocks All The Same.
Editor of Climax

Editor of Climax
| do not desire or intend
| to constitute myself either "knocker.
or censor" of our city, but as an old
''residenter," there are a number of Sc
rious troubles that even a blind man
could not fail to see. For years our
town and county have been distinguish
ed abroad for both the culture of its Cit
izenship as well as their material pros
perity. These two splendid blessings
have not brought about cooperation and
unanimity in regard to public affairs
and progress among our citizens, but
just the reverse.
The prevailing spirit rather is ''to let
every man take care of himself and the
devil take the hindmost. This lack of
cooperation crops out in many ways, i.
e.-the Commercial Club. Many such
organizations have been started, each
has lived peacefully and died contented.
Yet it is impossible to estimate the oen-
efits accruing to town from an organi-
zation of this kind with 400 or 500 mem
bers. A year ago when new contract
was made by the city with the Water X
Light Co., it should have been referred
10 such a club by the city council, in
stead of to a committee of private citi-
zens who had little weight because of
their number. A live commercial club
could have put over with ease the Chau-
tauqua movement inaugurated here a
week or so ago, which took some time
and considerable trouble to bring to US
again. This is one of the greatest at
fractions our people have ever enjoyed,
being both wholesome and instructive
1t is both an annoyance and labor when
the burden falls OH the shoulders of half
dozen men. 1t would be nothing to a
club such as have suggested.
Such club will be of vital help in
getting reduction of the electric light
charges, which are twice as high as they
are in Nicholasville, and about three
times those in other towns TO the priv
ate consumer. Such club ought to be
able to secure better incoming and out
going freight rates, which other towns
have done, and certainly better depot
accommodations, which are discredita-
ble to both city and railroad. A splen-
did club makes business in all lines. Our
lawyers, doctors, bank presidents and
very few of our leading merchants take
any interest in the club, which a few
younger men have been struggling TO
keep going.
! A few months ago, ayoung gentleman
who had formerly resided here was on
visit. One day he remarked, This is
the most remarkable town | have ever
known" All listened for the conclu
sion, and it was: ut is finished ~ And
in toto, there are strong evidences that
it has a semblance of truth. The trou-
BILE with us is we are too we'll satisfied
with our conditions. Everybody is per-
fectly willing for anybody else to put on
any schemes for either amusement OF
progress, but do not wish to be annoyed
themselves.
In concluding this article cannot al
together acquit our ci'y papers. They
are like our people, very conservative,
very much afraid that they will hurt
some ones feelings or lose a customer,
| cannot tell which.
Let's all turn over new page and
start fresh. A. X. Il.

Their triumphs are our own, though we
may differ in the forms and the externals
of our worship.
And now that we begin these services
in this place, may our hearts be set on
the best things. Let US realize more
than ever the burdens that are laid upon
US. The church must have a voice to
warn and encourage. and as well hands
and feet TO do. We must minister to the
needy, care tor the children, instruct
the Ignorant, and bear the loads OF those
who cannot well bear their own alone.
Thus in the name of the Lord we shall
set up our banners.

GENERAL denial
BY STEEL MAGNATES
GOVERNMENTS EVIDENCE OF A..
LEGGED STEEL COMBINE is
COMPLETED.
Trust Attorneys Say 1t Will Take Five
Weeks to Present Their
Testimony.

New York, Jan. ga sweeping
denial of the governments allegations
that the United States Steel Corpora
ton crushed competition is to be
made by ex-Judge e. H. Gary, James
Sarrell and other steel magnates
when they take the stand in the cor.
porations defense early in March
The governments case was rested
late today with reservation on the
part of counsel for the government to
call one more witness tomorrow if
they were unable to find him.
Counsel for the trust told the gov
eminent inquisitors that it will take
five weeks at least to whip into shape
the mass of evidence the steel cor
ooration wants to spread on the re-
cords in REPUTATION of the charge that
it maintained combination to con-
troll trade The steel trust will put
on twenty or more witnesses including
all the heads of the corporation.
Ex-Judge Gary, chairman of the
steel trust finance committee, who
was accused by former President
William Ellis Corey, with intimate
knowledge of the pools organized b.
the trust to regulate prices, intends
to so into an exhaustive history OF
the steel corporation from it's incep-
ton. Mr.. Gary, for one thing. vii!
reiterate his denial before the Stan =
ley committee a year ago that any
pool to regulate prices existed with
his knowledge.
Mr. Gary will insist other firms
showed their eagerness to come into
the corporation so as to get the hene-
fit of concentrated finances and the
consequent upbuilding of their plans,
Mr.. Gary will argue that prices in
the steel trade were stimulated. ather
than depressed, after the steel co.,
poration was formed and that all
steel companies made more money
than they ever did before.

state convicts, and it is thought that
there will be no opposition to the

Iron Mountain Railroad Company.
which will pay the largest part of the
tax to be imposed for the improve

This measure is patterned after the
one passed by Senator Fl, X. Toney

SHOEMAkERS urge NO ].
REDUCTION OF TARIFF
DENY EXISTENCE OF TRADE
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN BOOT
AND SHOE WORKERS.
Underwood Says Schedule VIII BE
Reduced But Shoes Will Not
Be Put On Free List,


Washington, Jan. 29-Denying
that there now exists any agreement
in the boot and shoe industry, repre-
sentatives of this industry today urg-
ed the ways and means committee not
to change the existing tariff on their
product
The denial of trade agreements
came in response to question as to
whether such an agreement had not
come about through the alleged mono
polistic control of shoe machinery,
charges having been brought by the
government. that such trust exists
and that manufacturers are controlled
by it.
The boot and shoe manufacturers
are apprehensive that the committee
contemplates putting boots and shoes
on the free list but questions asked
today by Underwood and other mem
bers of the committee indicated that
reduction in the tariff is all that is
contemplated.
Ludwig Nissen, New York diam
ond importer, argued against raising
the duty on diamonds even though
classed as . luxury, contending that
high duties would cause smuggling
and the making Of criminals.

sion when a company of novices tread
the burning path across the sands to
the inner shrine the Shriners cele-
brated the completion of the new

fitting the occasion.
The new temple, at Eighth avenue
and Main street, was the mecca for
the wearers of the little red tulbans
and in the afternoon the sacred and

more beautiful by the appearance Of

function held in the temple, with their
usual elaboratenes: the members
acted as hosts and they took much
pride in conducting the members Of
the fair sex over the building, which
already has become the idol of tho
hearts of the Shfine4s.
After the informal reception the
ball room was thrown open and until
late hour, to the strainsf of music
furnished by Seibert's orchestra, the
Shriners and their ladies enjoyed
dancing. During the progress of the
affair light luncheon was served
cafeteria style and the lack of the
convention ard formality only added
to the delightfulness of the occasion.
The one feature of the ceremonial
which was enjoyed by the general
public was the street parade yesterday
afternoon. All the dignitaries and
minor officers made the march in full
costume affected by founders of the
