Universal Hero,

For America, at least, there is the
n universal hero. No one questions
his greatness. None names him but
to praise.
Who is this universal hero?
Is it Napoleon Many condemn
him. as Ingersoll did, as the H'imperi-
al personiication of force and muir
der" No it is not Napoleon.
Washington, then? Wendell Phil
lips said: But the great Virginian
held slaves" So even Washington
had his d%etractors.
Lincoln? Perhaps later on; but not
yet.
Well, who is this universal Zero of
America?
John Hampden, of course. He Dbl

Why a certain parrot never learned
to talk, Current Opinion tells in
these words:
Kerrigan went on a trip to South
America, and while there bought a
pretty Spanish parrot as a present
for his friend O'Brien. He shipped
the bird to O'Brien at once, and when
he got back home, he said:
"Dinny, did We get the fine parrot

Il did that, Kerrigan, and / want to

not be able to recognize it if he
met it on the street" How well
the prophecy came true-since the
Senate returned the tariff bill
with 676 amendments. In the ag-
ricultural schedule &c changes
were made, while 81 appeared in
the cotton schedule, practically
making a complete change in that
schedule. In the wooden schedule
there were % changes, and in the
metal schedule 20. Mr.. Foster of
Illinois, was rude enough to re-
mind the valiant old New York
war horse that when the Payne
bill came back from the Senate it
would not have been recognizable
by its parent if he had met it on
the street. But Foster absolved
MIR. Payne from any censure for
standing up for his bill, which he
said, rs soon " he buried in a

HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.

Strong, vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get a foot
hold.
Now isn't It reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur
ham, N. c., says: II took vinol for a
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and the cough not only disap-
peared, but 1t built up my strength
as we'll"
The reason vinol is so efficacious in
such cases is because 1t contains in a
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements Of cod
liver oil, with tonic, bodybuilding
iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
vinol because it builds up the weak
ened, rundown system.
You can get your money back any
time If Vinol does not do all We say.

kentuCky'S 1912 Coal Output.

| I'd 10 UnG CLOSE OF 1911 Jne larger
portion of Kentucky's coal pro-
duction was from the Western dis
trict. The figures for 1912, how
ever, show that in that year the
Eastern district took the lead.
A new record of production was
made for 1912. A bulletin issued
by the United States Geological
Survey places Kentucky's output
at 16, 400, 521 short tons. This is
an increase of 2,440,S 1913 tons over
the production of 1911, and is
nearly 100000 tons over the
former maximum output of 1910.
The increase, of course, was chiefly
due to the developments in Fast
ern Kentucky, particularly in the
counties of Harlan, johnson, Pike
and Letcher. The Western dis
trict, however, has not been stand
ing still, and most of the counti S
increased their output and thereby
helped to swell the gain for the
State.
The bulletin of the Geological
Survey again calls attention to the
fact that Kentucky is the only
one of the coal-producing States
which has within its borders areas
belonging to any two of the dis
tinctly separate great coal fields. :"
The bulletin adds:
The eastern counties of the
State are underlaid by the coal
beds of the great Appalachian
Mountain system, extending en-
tirel Y across the State in north.
east-southwest direction, while the
southern limits of the central or
eastern interior coal fields are
found in the more northert cOun-
ties of the western part of the State.
The total area underlaid by coal in
the eastern counties of Kentucky is
estimated at 1920 square miles,
and the coal bearing areas in the
western part of the State are estl
mated to contain 6,400 square
miles"
kentucGy is notable as ranking
second among the States in the
percentage of coal mined by ma.
chimes. SiXty-six per cent. of the
coal produced in 1912 was machine
mined. Ohio is the only State
showing larger percentage.

tatives. The complaint of Mr..
Anderson is that as a Republican
his membership of the Committee
was tame and uneventful, and that
by reason of the Democratic
caucuses, and the fact that in the
Committee only the majority were
allowed to participate, in framing
the tariff and currency bills, he
has become overwhelmed, dis
couraged, disheartened, by the
uselessness and fruitlessness of it
ALL" Mr.. Anderson in the course
of speech, bitterly assailed legis-
lation via the caucus route, de,
claring that the System of legis-
lation established here" made his
efforts on the COMMITTEE farce
and fraud" OF course, it is all
very thrilling to witness such a
sensational self. effacement, but the
fact remains that it has always
been the custom for majority par
ties, whether Republican or Demo
cratic, to frame their party legis-
lation Independently in the COM
mittees. Aside from considering
strict party bills like those of the
tariff and the currency, the Com
mitteeS are open and free to all
Members; and in the general legis.
latlon affecting the country, Mr..
Anderson and all other Republi-
cans or Progressives are given full
ly as much consideration on their
Committees as are the majority
Members. The impression is that
Mr.. AnderSon's resignation from
this all-powerful Committee S
only the fore-runner of general
movement against legislation by
caucus, although his specific griev-
ance has not been directed against
the caucus itself.

THE REPARTEE OF HELM,

When Representative Helm, of
Kentucky was so ''rudely inter-
rupted" by Representative Mann
he was saying: These are
history making days. They are
glorious days for the Democratic
party. The work of this branch
of Congress will soon come to a
close. Perhaps by the end of this
week the tariff bill will have been
signed that will bring JOY and
gladness to countless millions of
consumers in the United States. 81
Mann exclaimed: In a Europe
and he brought down the Republi.
can side of the House with laugh
ter; but Helm quickly retorted
The Republicans are routed.
They have but one last squswk to
give, and that is concerning this
caucus proposition" Helm had
carried off the honors.

MONEY Is LAW. "

In speaking upon the currency
question, Representative Hayes, OF
California, who is reputed to know
just what money is--since he has
more than he knows what to do
with, says that money is some
thing more than a medium of ex-
change. 1t must have not only
intrinsic value, but it is, of course,
that which measures the value of
all things" He went on to say
that this was the technical and
scientific application of the term,
and added that money was only
that which was designated by law.
The law can make tobacco law
full money. 1t can make cucum-
bers lawful money" However,
according to Mr.. Hayes, who is
something of a shark on the ques-
ton, it is not advisable to turn Gu
cumbers into such use, and it
might be supposed that since he is
a great producer of prunes, that
they might make a far better sub
stitute for gold or paper money.
He declares that the West de-
mands system that will give to it
at least one relief bank of its own,
differed by men familiar with that
section of the country, rather than
making that great region depend
ent on system that would place the
Pacific coast under the domination
or influence of Wall Street.

IN RE. SENATOR GALLINGER.
And now it is said that good old
Senator Gallinger, whose face
everyone likes regardless of his
politics-unless we except his
arch-enemy Senator La Toilette,
has been indicating that "Barkis
is willin'" in case the people of
New Hampshire desire him o
again represent them in the Senate.
Gallinger is one of the ancient
stand-patters who has been in the
Senate so long that it is quite i'm
possible for him to admit that he
is a progressive, although New
England Senators have demonstrate
ed in the tariff and other legislation
that they are all keeping abreast
of the times in the new movements
that have arisen. Just think of
it-Gallinger proposes that the
new tariff bill be submitted to
national referendum before it be-
comes effective. The gentlemen
who have long advocated the re-
ferendum principle refuse to stand
for the Gallinger proposal, and a
year ago Mr.. Gallinger would have
thrown up his hands in holly
horror of such a proposal as he has
now made.

that but one of them offered any

JAMES AND BRISTOW CLASH.

The squabble between Senators
James, of Kentucky, and Bristow,

hours of the tariff debate, was
notable on account of the high ex-

controversy some information re-

well worth the while consumed in
the scolding match.
