corn are Johnson county white, and
they have been grown from the same

Again he inspected the corn In both
piles, while the few people in the room
watched him with increasing interest.
He smiled us he again began to speak.

THE FAITH OF NATIONS.

Nations, like individuals,
should keep faith with those with
whom they make agreements.
The attitude of the United States
in regard to the Panama canal
tolls is not such as to cause fair
minded citizens to be proud of it.
In two treaties with Great Brit
ain the United States agreed to
open the canal to shippers of all
nations alike. Despite these a.
greements Uncle Sam proposes
to allow American coastwise ship
pers to use the canal free of toll.
And when Great Britain protests
and asks that faith be kept, the
United States ignores the pro-
test. And, assuming the atti-
tude of a bully, it refuses to sub
init the matter to arbitration.
Nowhere in the Panama canal
matter is our hands clean. The
concession to build it was obtain
ed by the rape of a defenseless
nation, and the purchase of the
French rights were attended with
charges of graft.
Now, to benefit a few wealthy
ship owners, the nation proposes
to violate solemn treaty.
A nation should be a gentle
man.

SOUND ARGUMENT.

SNOi'D ANOOuLNl+
We commend the following
editorial of Ed D. Shinnick, pres
ident of the Kentucky Press As
ISOLATION and editor of the Shell
by Record, to the consideration
OF every newspaper publisher in
Kentucky. The title of it is
Some Shop Talk" and it is
worthy of being mounted and
kept standing on every editorial
desk as a daily reminder.
Publishing a newspaper is a
business proposition. To succeed
it must be carried on according
to the most approved business
methods. With a newspaper
space in its columns is a COM
modity-its only ware for sale.
The public-the advertisers-put
no higher valuation on that COM
modify than the publisher HIM
self does. It is because so many
publishers do not set sufficient
value upon their space that they
fail. A newspaper can have but
two sources of revenue -adver-
Using and subscription. The job
plant is a separate business and
neither its expense nor income
should be connected with the
business of the newspaper. So,
if the publisher places an insig-
nificaant value upon his space,
the inevitable result is failure.
One Of the most common ways
of creating the idea that your
space is valueless is the constant
free boosts" to individuals and
politicians in particular. 1t is
not just to the man who lives by
selling goods to require him to
pay for every inch of space he
uses and give whole columns
free to men who make their liv-
ing by politics. Space is space,
and until the publishers realize
its value themselves the public
will not hold it in very high es-
TEEN. To demand a fair price
for space and get that price if
you sell, is the crying need. 1t
is no cause to reduce your rates
because your competitor does;
perhaps it is not worth much.
But read the editorial:
THE mission of a properly con-
Quoted newspaper is to inform
its readers on matters in which
they are interested, and in so do
ing to ever be conscientious and
never offensive. Every news
paper has its influences, and its
best efforts should be made for
the bettement of moral, social,
business and political conditions,
at home and in the State and Ma
ton, Every editor in Kentucky
will agree with us so far, but
will all Of them cocnur with us in
our views upon the methods the
newspapers should adopt in treat
ing candidates for office and po-
litical matters generally.
The constituted authorities
have deemed it wise to pass a
law making the selection of party
candidates necessary through the
medium of a State Primary, and
the first of these will be held
next August. At that time NOM
nations for county and district
offices, as well as for a United
States Senator, will be made. 1t
will cost those who desire to shy
their castors into the political
ring nothing to make a try for
the nomination. The man who
has heretofore been financially
unable to pay the entrance fee
is now on the same footing with
the man with a barrel of money

GOODS VALUED
MANY MILLIONS
HELD IN BOND
WAITING upon The TARIFF
Merchandise is Delayed In
Delivery

New York, Sept. 80 = Practical
demonstration of one result of the
new tariff law will be given almos.
as soon as the bill now in the hands
of congress is signed by Presider,
Wilson. Huge quantities OF foreign
made merchandise, already imported
will be thrown on the market in New
York and at other large centers
throughout the country.
For the last two months importers
have been storing goods in bonded
warehouses to be held there until
they may be admitted under the lower
rates to be provided in the new law.
The merchandise has accumulated to
an extent which has tested the capac-
ity of the bonded warehouses every
where. Figures compiled by the
Journal of Commerce show that
goods in bond in New York alone on
August 81 were valued at ..67,301,
600, and since that time the total has
increased largely.
While we are in. way prepared
for hold-up of imports" said a
warehouseman today, eve never
dreamed the goods would accumulate
as they have"
Keen competition exists among i'm.
porters to be first on the market with
goods brought in under the new law
and arrangements have been made
for distribution in the shortest posi-
BILE time after the law is in effect
While it was said in some cases
changes would be made in wholesale
prices, no estimates were obtainab :
as to the probable effect on retail
prices.
Statistics of the goods on hand in
New York bonded warehouses, show
that the largest amounts of money
are represented in linens, hats, siiE
dress goods, tobacco, wool, cham
payne and sugar.

Vienna, Austria, Sept 30-Women
are taking an active part in the fight
ing in Albania, according to despatch
es received here from Avlona, the AL
banian capital. Many Albanian ANA
zGns armed with hatchets, fought h.
roically shoulder to shoulder with
husbands, sons and brothers during
the street fighting at Dibra on Sept.
23, when 1900 Servians were killed
and 800 taken prisoners. She town
fell into the hands of the Albanians.
and the prisoners were sent under
escort to Tirana
The fighting in the vicinity of Dibra
both before and after its fall, was of
Il most desperate character The
women of the Greek race in Southern
Albania are also displaying very
warlike spirit. At Koritza, which is
held by the Greeks, sixty girls hat
formed themselves into a company
which is drilled by Greek non-coln-
missioned officers. The women de-
clare they would sooner die fighting
than permit Koritza to be incorpo-
rated in the state of Albania.
