Good Roads Once In Kentucky

Kentucky has had good roads.
At one time in our history we
had the best system of turnpikes
that prevailed in that era. We
have some good roads now, but
they should be better and more
of ,hem. Conditions now de.
mand better roads than were
called for fifty years ago. Ken
lucky still has good foundations
for good roads, and excellent ma
terial for building and maintain
ing them. Cur great trouble is
in lack of maintaining what we
have; a systematic method of re-
pairs. Instead of the roads be-
ing worked over once or twice a
year, they should be attended to
at all times. A man with cart
or wheelbarrow and shovel should
have a section to keep in repair
all the time; he should be on his
job constantly watching for spots
that wear and make his repairs
at once.
This system is worked in sew
eral of the old countries of Eu-
rope--Germany and France, for
instance-and during harvest
time these repairers are allowed
to leave their reads IN order to
help in the harvests and make
more moneyL-Our Country.

Mr.. Harvey Carr has received a
telegram from Miami, Texas,
sadly announcing the death of his
granddaughter, Besse Mae Chris

The many Kentucky friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Christopher, the

Natural Death.

A negro actually passed into
the great beyond at the con-
struction camp of Johnson d
Briggs Saturday, by the natural
death route, tuberculosis being
the cause assigned. This is the
first death from a natural cause
ever reported from the construc
ton camps, about twenty-five
having been killed by explosions,
cave-ins, personal encounters,
etc. When the report was given
out Sunday that a negro had died
a natural death at one of the
construction camps, the public
refused to take it seriously until
full proof was established.
Sunday was the first time in
many weeks that the county cor
oner has not been called on to
hold an inquest over some negro,
who had been killed by violence
or by an Observation-Disclosures
Democrat.

the ground about seven O'Clock

still remaining with his proper

guilty person or persons. For a

probable that some one pillaged

Heaven good luck sends,
As June's last day ends.

On this last day of June the stars
smile on the earth. Astrologers de-
clare that good luck should attend
most of the activities of men and
women, since Mercury, Venus, Jupi-
ter and the sun are all in friendly as
pect.
Jupiter rules in place which prom
Uses fortune and prosperity. Advan-
tageous chances for business success
may be discovered while this configu-
ration stimulates energy and enter
prise. 1t is held to be a lucky time
for the beginning of new ventures in
commercial pursuits.
Bankers and financiers are partic-
ularly favored. A lucky augury at
tends large loans, especially those

men and women who have attained
prominent positions. The day should
be suspicious for the President of the
United States, governors and rulers
who hold the welfare of the public
under their sway.
1t is foretold that a new idol of the
people will appear from an unexpect-
ed quarter. Recognition will come
slowly, but it will place a man of
power in a conspicuous position.
Persons whose birthdate it Is have
the representation of a happy year
Men probably will prosper in bust
ness. Women will receive much affec-
ton and admiration. The young will
become engaged or will marry.
Children born on this day are for
tunate. They will have the power Of
winning respect by sturdy qualities
of character. They are likely to be
fond of pleasure and to succeed in
professions in which personality is an
asset.

Women may rejoice over unusual
opportunities to accomplish what they
most desire, while Venus sends aid to
them from the skies. Today should
be a fortunate one for wage-earners,
whether they be employed in humble
vocations or in the learned profess
sions.
A happy omen appears for weddings
and love affairs. An engagement,
made while the planet which is held
to guide the romances of men and
women maintains sway, gives fair
promise of good luck.
Actors, singers, painters and poets
are under a propitious leading, it is

1t was, in fact, from his post as
president of the University of West
Virginia that he went to take his seat
in Congress, in 1882, and it was while
he was in that first service as a mem
Der of Congress that he came into in
innate personal and political relations
with President Cleveland.
The presumption has always been
very strong that it was in great
measure due to Mr.. Wilson that Pres
ident Cleveland formulated the tariff
principles which he set forth IN the
now traditional message to Congress
in the last year Of his first admins
tration.
When Mr.. Cleveland went again to
the presidency, Mr.. Wilson was still
a member of the lower house of Con-
gress, and as the Democratic party
was in majority in the House when
President Cleveland entered upon his
second term, Mr.. Wilson was. in ODE
dience to the universal sentiment of
his party, made chairman of the ways
and means committee, and as chair
man he drafted the Wilson tariff law.
Subsequently, he became postmas-
ter-general, and after the retirement
of President Cleveland, in 1897, he was
named president of Washington and
Lee University.
The Union League Club, of New
York city, has always been recognized
as one of the most powerful social in
fiuences of the country in support of
the policy of protection. In that club
Mr.. Wilson's tariff bill was severely
criticized, both formally and in pri-
vate conversation of the members. He
was about the last person, 1t was
thought, who would think of accept
ing the Inequalities of the club or en-
tering its portals, although he had
most friendly personal relations with
some of the members.
1t was about a year after the Will
son tariff bill became a law without
the signature of President Cleveland,
who objected seriously to what he
called the humiliation" of that bill
when it reached the federal Senate.

Happily, in the course of time, this
good man, with his pinched face and
his still more pinched philosophy of
life, pinched out and we laid him
away with proper solemnity. Then
there came to town a young mer-
chant, who said he could preach
bit. Inasmuch as the bell wether
deacon wanted a job for his son in
he new merchants store and the. new
merchant didn't want any salary for
preaching, it was allowed that maybe
it would be a good thing to give him
a chance.
This general store keeper was
young fellow with square jaw, blue
eye and smile that meant anything
from "Glad to see you" to Hands
eff" according to what was in your
own heart. He came to church in a
rt;iness suit chucked his brown
derby into the nearest pew, waited
until the choir and the congregation
had relieved their pent-up feelings in
a lugubrious hymn and then sailed
in.
AS / remember it, he said some
thing like this:
Lets understand each other in the
beginning. This village has a repu-
tation in this corner of the State as
being the stingiest, back bitngest
place on earth. Most regulations are
more or less deserved, and reckon
we didn't come to ours without earn
ing it."
There was some confusion in the
room by this time, and the bellwether
deacon, who never loaned money at
less than IL per cent. and bonus,
began to exhibit symptoms of
apoplexy.

eyes had not deceived them. There
stood William Lyme Wilson in the
height Of his prominence as the franz
er of the Wilson tariff law, about to
become postmaster-general. receiving
the courteous greetings of distin-
guished and able protectionists. One
of the distinguished Republicans i'm
mediately went to Mr.. Wilson and,
holding out both hands, said This
is the right place for you, Mr.. Chair
man. You stand in the citadel Of
American protection. We shall ex-
pect to hear in the course of a few
days that you have abandoned the
views that have distinguished you
in the past with respect to the tariff
by making frank acknowledgment of
the error of your ways
Yes. am here" said Mr.. Wilson.
Il can scarcely realize that 1 am
within the portals of an institution
whose members have for thirty years
proclaimed the policy of protection. :"
He chatted for few moments with
his protectionist friends, skillfully
evading or artfully returning their
banter and at last he said:
IT am going to acknowledge myself
disciple of one kind of protection.
1 am going to plead for protection
from you. so that 1t may not be known
generally that I have been enter
tanned in this place. So much of pro-
lection I ask you, and to protection
of that kind I am loyal"
He was fearful lest, if the fact be-
came known that he had been visiting
in the club, he might be subjected
to ill-deserved criticism and that of
kind which he could not answer.
The policy of protection awaited him
in this case. 1t was not until after
his death, in 1900 that his friends
felt justified in saying that. William
Lyme Wilson, the Trainer of the Will
son tariff law, had accepted the hos
pitality, purely social though it was,
of members of the Union League
Club, of New York city.
