sweeping over Kentucky in favor
of former Gov. ]. c. w. Beckham
in the long term senatorial race
before the primary, August Ist.,
is the belief of Harper's Weekly.
Every temperance man as we'll as
all who believe in decency in pol
itics, should read the impartial
review of this great journal on
the situation in this state. The
article written by Mr.. c. P. Con-
molly in part is as follows:
"The candidate most likely to
succeed the late Senator Bradley

at the primaries to>be held Aug.
Ist is ]. G. w. Beckham. Beck
ham was the choice of the Dem
ocratic party six years ago, when
a Democratic Legislature elect

Bradley, a Republican. There
was a majority of eight Demo-
Gratis in the Legislature, but the
Whiskey Ring contributed
enough of these to defeat Beck
ham and Bradley was elected.
"Under his administration
Kentucky's new Capitol was
built. He showed courage in this.
Others had recommended a new
Capitol. But no Governor had
cared to put the power of his adj
ministration behind it, because
Louisville. on the one side, and
Lexingt on the other, both COW
eted the honor of tn Capitol.
"He collected from the Federal
Government an old war debt of
81 100000. He secured legisla-l
ton fixing a maximum price for
school books. He established
two normal schools and he
heightened the school term in
the country districts from five to
six months.
THE constitution of Kentucky.
adopted some twenty-five years
ago, con tanned a provision that
required the Legislature to enact
law giving each county of the
state the right to vote itself wet
or dry. This constitutional pro-
vision, like the one that prohibits
railroad passes, was honored in
the breach. Indeed, Kentucky
legislatures have been prone, in
matters of reform, to adopt the
policy of the Vermont fathers,
who resolved that the laws of
God and Conn ecticut be adopted
until we have time to frame bet
ter.
"Beckham obeyed the Consti-
tuition and recommended the
enactment of law in conformity
with it; but the liquor interests
succeeded in having exempted
the larger cities.
Then there was a Sunday
closing law on the statute books,
which was openly violated in the
cities, notably in Louisville.
Beckham was appealed to, but he
had no power to remove derelict
city officials, and could make only
a moral appeal to the Mayor of
Louisville to enforce the law,
which was unsuccessful.

after this the Kentucky Court of

 NOME SYNDICATE SUED.
 SEATTLE, July Somewhat of a sensation was sprung here today when the Nome Syndicate, Ltd, of London, started proceedings against J. E. Chilberg, of this city, for the recovery of $202 ,5O0 which amount it is claimed was lost through the purchase of the Pioneer Mining Co. holdings on Seward pen insula.
 It is charged in the complaint that Chilberg, to whom the British capitalists went for information, rep resented that the claims of the Pion- ger Mining company contained great wealth. and upon his recommenda- ton the properties were purchased. The complaint further sets forth that investigation proved the prop perties practically worthless.
 Chllberg is president of the New Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and also president of tle Scandinavian American Bank of this city.

Origin of "Carmania"

Where did the great passenger
steamship Carmania get its name
Well, Kirman is a Persian province
It's chief town, Kirman, also, known
as Carmania, was the scene in 1895 of
one of the most terrible events in the
history of Asia. Agha Mohammed,
founder of the Kajar dynasty, then
besieged and took the place, and, rag
ing at the escape of the defeated rival
with three followers, ordered 10000
eyes of the inhabitants to be brought
to him. He counted them with his

Christmas Gifts to Europe

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: The peo
pie of foreign birth resident in the city
of New York this season have sent tC
their friends and relatives in Europe
Christmas gifts of money to the
amount of $7,775,OOO, largely in the
form Of postal money orders. There
has been some comment on this to the
effect that this is serious drain on
the country. 1t is as matter of fact,
a drain scarcely appreciable. 1t is in
significant beside the sums which
Americans spend abroad on pleasure
trips.
The showing, however, is that de-
spite all talk to the contrary, this
country, even in the big cities of the
east, still affords splendid opportun-
tiles to the immigrant. The great ma
jority of the people who are sending
this money abroad, while in their ma
tive lands, had a hard struggle for
mere subsistence. Here, so long as
they retain the habits of thrift which
they had to acquire under compulsion
in their native land, they accumulate
money with rapidity.
We read much in the newspapers
and the uplift magazines of the de-
plorable conditions under which the
foreign denizens of our great cities
are forced to live, and the meager
wages which they receive. Yet those
same people are probably accumulat-
ing more rapidly than the average
of well-paid Americans.
The east side of New York, with it's
tenement houses, is rapidly passing
into the ownership of Russian Jews
Yet the first large immigration of
these particular aliens is quite re-
cent in it's origin.
When the great strike was on in
Lawrence, Mass, the showing was
that the wage scale was eXtraordin-
arily low. At that time the saving
banks of Lawrence carried deposits of
neatly $20,000,000, largely the savings
of labor.
Thrift was the practice of our
grandfathers. 1t is confined to a
large extent to the people of alien
blood now. And the Christmas show
ing is that their thrift does not chill
their hearts, but that they give cheer
fully of the savings of their labor.
