WILL FORMALLY OPEN MONDAY

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 30.-Prompt-
ly at 10 o'clock next Monday morning
in Washington President Woodrow
Wilson will flash wireless telegraph
message from the government station
near the capital to Knoxville. The
message will be picked up by the wire
less station in the grounds of the Ma
tional Conservation Exposition in this
city.
The receipt of the message from the
President of the United States to T.
A. Wright, president of the exposition
company, will be the signal for the
formal opening of this exposition, the
first in the history Of the world de-
voted to the cause of conservation and
designed to teach by concrete example
the necessity of conserving all martial
resources if the country is to grow and
prosper in the future as it has in the
past.
Even as the National Conservation
is unique in history so is the manner
of opening it unique. No exposition
ever before has been opened by wire

Ben H. Hooper, governor of Tennessee,
and his staff will be present on the
opening day. The exercises will be i'm

concerts and general good time. The
official program starts the fun going at
s o'clock in the morning and it will
continue without break until late al
night
Throughout the week the grounds Of
the exposition company have been as
busy a place as could be found in the
country. However, the close of the
week sees practically every exhibit

The Western Normal School
baseball team called the Invinci-
bles, because they had put all
other competitors in the dust,
met their waterloo on the grounds
of the Eastern State Normal. In
the game played Thursday the E.
K. S. N. demonstrated their abili-
ty as players by taking the game
in walk. Friday the game was
called off by the management on
account of a superfuity of mud
and water, the game being played
to the fourth inning and standing
at score of s to l in favor of
Western. Saturday came the real
tug of war. The Eastern team
played ball and went after the
toga. The game was spirited,
the plays fine, and the players,
melted, looked like athletes of
old. By superior tact, agility and
get there" proclivities, Eastern
rushed the game, gained the vic
tory and won the State champion
ship by a score of 4 to l.
The visitors took their defeat
good humoredly.

Our Distinguished Guest

DR.. ]. w. Kennedy, one of the
prominent surgeons of the coun
try, was a distinguished visitor in
our city from Friday until Sunday,
being the guest of DR.. and Mrs
Clarence H. Vaught, on Main
street. DR.. Kennedy was for five
years the assistant of DR.. Joseph
Price at his private hospital in
Philadelphia, and for three years
was his associate, then for more
than thirteen years DR.. Kennedy
was with this master daily. His
association with this remarkable
abdominal surgeon, has peculiarly
fitted him for this work. He is
now and has been since the
death of DR.. Jopseh Price, in full
charge of the Jospeh Price Hospi.
tai, standing for all his ideals,
every one of which was founded
upon that great principle of re-
lieving first the suffering patient,
at any sacrifice without so much
as a thought of compensation, a
big heart, a big brain, a masterful
operator. The mantle of Dr..
Jospeh Price, great as it was, could
not have possibly fallen on more
worthy shoulders or upon a more
able one viewed from any angle
surgeon, humanitarian or man
than those of DR.. Kennedy. 1t
was a pleasure to have him with
us.
While here he held a clinic
at the Pattie A. Clay Infrmary to
which the Madison County Medi-
cal Society was invited, most of
whom were present to witness
the work of this clever surgeon.
This being DR.. Kennedy's first
visit to our city, it was a pleasure
to us to have him, and especially
pleasure to DR.. Kennedy, to
visit the place where DR.. Price
had so often been, and whose
memory he reveres as possibly
nothing else.

county unit law. This will be
one of the first bills introduced
An emergency clause will be in
the bill. If it passes it will go in
to effect at once and the present
county unit law will be thing OF
the past. To get the benefits OF
1T, you must act this year. Madi.
son county seems Indifferent to
the bill. Yet we cannot think
that the good people of the coun-
ty are indifferent to the question.
Their present security from the
evil of the barroom and intemper-
ance, lulls them into a sense of
security. Their safety is only
temporary and to continue it and
get the full benefits of the local
option laws, it is proper and es-
sential that the county of Madi-
son be made dry all over. At
present, it is dry only in spots.
Catastrophes, at all times horrible
in results and narrowing in de-
tails, sometimes rouse the people
to a sense of. their duty. The
lessons learned from the tragic
deaths of some of the young men
of our county, may serve the
benifcent purpose of arousing
the people to action and impel
them to do that which is neces-
sary to bring about complete pro-
hibition for this good old county.
At times it is unpopular to stand
for good government and we
know that at this time, the poll
ticianS are averse to a discussion
of the county unit law, but The
Madisonian sees its duty to the
mothers and fathers and to the
young manhood and young
womanhood of the city and coun-
ty and, seeing that duty, will dare
to perform it. 1t will not stop its
agitation for a vote under the
county unit for the entire county
of Madison until it sees that the
of the people of Madi-
son county is thoroughly aroused.
If the good people then determine
that they do not want the law
put in force in this county, we
shall have nothing more to say.

More Honors for Richmond

[
The meeting of the Railway
Surgeons held in Louisville last
week was successful and enjoy
able affair. Many valuable papers
were read.
DR.. H. C. Jasper, of this city,
was elected president of the
meeting to be held in 1915. This
is an honor most Worthily be-
slowed. DR.. Jasper is one OF our
popular physicians and will grace
the presidential chair. He has
held the office of vice president
before and is now called to
higher honOrs.
DR.. c. H. Vaught was reelected
treasurer. He is one of the lead.
ing spirits of the association and
has been signally honored, having
held the offices of vice president,
president, treasurer, and editor OF
the Railway Surgeon, a medical
magazine of high standing in the
profession.
DR.. Vaught made an address at
this meeting, one paragraph of
which we quote:
eve stand for better railway
surgeons; for better railway SAM
tation; for frst-aid packages on
all through and local trains; for
surgical dresSing-rooms at termi-
mails; for the best interests of the
profession, and for a department
of public health. We stand for
the curtailment of social disease,
the fight against which has just
been begun in Louisville the
most horrible of all scourges and
a black chapter in our profession.
I'VE stand for everything that
tends to elevate the profession,
where in turn it can more clearly
separate the wheat from the
chaff, the sheep from the wolves
and, as. living, acting, honest
brotherhood, help with its great
power to tighten the burdens of
the sick and wounded and make
this a better world in which to
live. Not only do we stand for
all these things, but should make
ourselves an actual force in their
PRONUNCIATION and application"
These sentiments are clearly
and cogently expressed. They
are the embodiment of high re-
solves and noble purposes.
Louisville was chosen as the
permanent meeting place.

THURSDAY evening. May l, at $50 o.
clock at the home of Mrs. Alma Doretha
Bower. on 829 Eleventh street. Miss AL
berthe Fay Boyer and John Valentine
Moore were united in marriage. The wed

family and relatives being present. Inc
parlors were beautiful in their decorations
of palms, ferns and Cecil Bruner roses
Ropes of smilax hung from an arch IN the
center of which was wedding Dell OF
brides roses and lilies of the valley. Under
this the couple kneIt for the impressive
ring service. Beautiful music was rendered

white being effectively carried out
1.-THE bride is petite, pretty brunette

"Mr. Moore comes from prominent
Kentucky family. He is rising young

Some papers of the State seem
inclined to think that there has
been a combination between Gov.
McCreary and Hon. A. o. Stanley
by which Stanley is to withdraw
from the race for the Senate and
in exchange for this, Gov. Nc
Creary will give him his support
for the office of Governor.
We know nothing about the
matter, but if they have, it is a
personal matter and concerns on
ly the parties to the agreement.
The people do the voting and are
not in any way bound by that
agreement. Combinations made
from friendship or for any other
purpose by candidates are COM
mon and always will be made.
We doubt not that Mr.. Beckham
would make any combination
that would eliminate a competi-
tor. Mr.. Beckham'S friends must
fight with better weapons. Noise
and turf throwing will never
knock the persimmon.

CORRUPT ELECTIONS

The following well written edi
torial from the Lancaster Record
is timely:
THE people will no longer be convinced
that elections must be conducted under
the corrupting influences that have pre-
vailed in the past. The demand for clean
er politics is nation wide and Kentucky
has its share of the sentiment. The Leg.
islature must soon yield to the public's de.
mand and enact the Corrupt Practice Act
which prevents any one from assuming the
duties of a public office until an oath is
taken that the election was secured with
out any corrupting or illegal means. The
counties to eliminate the use of money,
intoxicants or other corrupting influences
to control votes will doubtless have effect
upon the August primary. Those who de-
sire the votes of the people must respect
public sentiment and we hope to see this
the cleanest primary ever held in Garrard
county,"
This editorial very clearly shows
which way the wind is blowing.
The people are tired of the power
which Mr.. Dollar Bill has in cleo
tiOns. If the offices are to be sold
or bought, whichever way you
may term it, then let them be put
up at public auction and sold to
the best bidder. Proper laws look
ing to the selection of competent
men can be made and then when
those who are eligible to the
office, want to bid for it, let them
do it openly. Of course no one
wants such thing to happen in a
highly cultivated and civilized
country but that is just what is
happening all the time, under the
old system of buying an office at
polls, and that, too, without any
safe guards inSuring the selection
OF proper men.
We take no interest in the in
diViduality of any candidate nor
is this written in the interest of
the poor candidate or directed
against one who has money. 1t is
written in the interests of the
public, long suffering public, that
has grown very tired of the farce
of primaries and final elections
where the offices are bought
by corrupting some of the voters.
We do not agree with the idea
that the buyer is no better
than the seller. While he is
doing much to corrupt the morals
and is in a legal sense equally
guilty of the crime of bribery, still
in our opinion, he is a better man
generally speaking than the sell
er and We believe that all fair
minded men will agree with us.
Other counties are requiring
their candidates to take a pledge
to refrain from vote buying OF
from any corrupt acts to secure
their nomination. Why not Madi
son? Also why not make them
talk little in d written declara
ton of principles? For what dc
they stand?
The County Committee should
act on the question unless this is
to be a gum shoe campaign, Z
game of blind mans bluff, catch a:
you catch can.
