PRESIDENTS HAND AT HELM.
Wilson EXplaf Ns Duty as He Sees IL.
Country Before Party,

Country BeTOfe PARTY.
Washington, Sept. 6.-President
Wilson to-day announced he would
not make a speaking tour during the
coming campaign. He declared his
intention of staying on the job" be-
cause of the unlocked for interna
tional situation"
Ihe President made known his in
tention in letter to Representative
Doremus, of Michigan, chairman of
the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee, who had written asking whe-
ther he would make a speaking tour
this fall. The correspondence was
made public at the White House to-
day.
America is greater than any
party" the President wrote.
America cannot properly be serv-
ed by any man who for q moment
measures his interest against her ad-
vantage. The time has come for
great things. These are days as big
for the destiny of the United States
as for the other nations of the
world. A little wisdom, little cour-
age, little self-forgetful devotion
may under God, turn that destiny
TINS way or that. Great hearts, great
natures, will respond. Even little
men VIII rejoice to be stimulated and
guided and set an heroic example.
Partles Will fare well enough with
out nursing If the men who make
them up and the men who lead them
forget themselves to serve a cause.
and set a great people forward on the
path of liberty and peace"
To Tell OF Wor
Despite his determination to make
no speeches, Mr.. Wilson will "take
occasion, as opportunity affords, to
state and perhaps restate to the
country In the clearest and most con-
vincing terms l can command, the
things which the Democratic party
has attempted to do"
The PRESIDENT asked that Congress
remain to do their work of necessary
and pressing service and bring It to a
conclusion"

The last Of the Carranza military
forces marched into the seaport DUR

strength of the garrison to about
$500.
Carranza's lieutenants stated today
they are well supplied with artillery

boats Bravo and Zararzara lying in
the harbor and resources at hand in
the way of the revenue from custom
receipts they insist Carranza holds
ton and can compel the acceptance
of most of his demand on the final
adjustment Of the southern Repub-
lies affairs. They expressed doubt
that either Villa or Zapata would at
tempt to capture the city by force of
arms.
The rivalry which exists between
these leaders, Carranzistas believe,
would compel both to. retain large
forces in Mexico City, thus leaving
insufficient strength. even If they
combined in an expeditionary attempt
to take Vera Cruz.
Carranza emphasized today that he
Is satisfied to stand pat and await de-
velopments. On Carranxa's orders,

ROEBERIES BECOMING
VERY SERIOUS

In nearly all of the large daily pa
pers, as we'll as the country weeklies
printed in Kentucky can be found col
umnS OF reports Of hold-ups, robber
les, burglaries and other devilment
which is beginning to cause much ap
prehension among the people. 1t is
the general belief that this trouble is
caused by the convicts recently lib
Grated from the State prisons under
the parole law.
In several instances guilty parties
have been arrested, and in nearly ev-
cry case the culprits prove to be re.
Gently liberated convicts. The new
law known as the indeterminate SEN
tence law, is likewise causing much
trouble from the fact that the i'm
preston has become general that a
convicted man can soon slip through
the fingers of justice by being good"
for short time. The new law is a
complete farce.
The trouble in Central Kentucky
counties has been caused mostly by
negroes imported from the Southern
States to work in the construction
camps along the line of the Louisville
& Nashville. These negroes are
mostly from Alabama.
