GLORIOUS
RAIN FALL.

Shower" After rs

REGULAR GROUND SOAKER

The first good rain since May s fell
in Hopkinsville at noon yesterday. 1t
came with an accompaniment of
thunder and lightning and some
wind and hail, but it caused general
rejoicing. An earlier shower fell
north of town and the rain here did
not extend far to the east, but it Wis
tied a good portion of the county
and made a fine tobacco season.
More local showers are promised and
maybe those who failed to get one
yesterday will fare better to-day.

Washington. D. G. Especially
United States Senator Gardner, while
in this city, made this significant and
important statement In an interview
on the political expedlence of having
Woodrow Wilson speak in the Maine
state campaign, especially as there has
been some controversy in the press
about Gov Wilson's stand on the pro-
hibitory law, one opinion being that
Mr.. Wilson is in favor of prohibition.
Said Senator Gardner:
In the course of three hours talk
recently with Gov. Wilson, half of an
hour of which was devoted to the dis
cussion of the Maine Prohibitory law,
Gov. Wilson authorized me to say to
the people of Maine that he is firmly
opposed to prohibition regarding the
liquor traffic, is In favor of local OPP
ton, believing that local option is the
most effective method yet devised of
regulating 1t. That he did not believe
In any sumptuary statewide prohibit
tory laws as an agency or influence to
promote real temperance, but on the
contrary believes that such laws Gre
ate an agency to develop law breaking,
hypocrisy and perjury.
Gov Wilson, of New Jersey, de-
clares himself in favor of Local OPP
ton in letter received In Newark by
the Rev. Thomas B. Shannon, Super.
intendent of the New Jersey Anti-Sa-
loon League, but says he is opposed to
making it an issue between political
parties. The Governors letter says:
MY dear Mr. Shannon: The ques-
ton asked in your letter of April 9th,
about by attitude toward the lmpor-
tant question of local option is, of
course, perfectly legitimate one. and
you are entitled to a very frank an
swer. would have replied sooner
had | not been prevented by impera-
tive public engagements. have ex-|
planned my views to your in private.
but have, of course, no objection to
your making them public.
am In favor of local option. am
a thorough believer in local seif-gov-
eminent and believe that every self |
governing community which consti- |
tutes a social unit should have the |
right to control the matter of regula- /
ton or of the Withholding of licenses.
But the questions involved are So
cial and moral, not political, and are
not susceptible OF being made parts of |
4 party program. Whenever they have
been made the subject matter OF party
they have cut the lines OF
party organization and party action
athwart, to the utter confusion of po-
litical action in every other field They |
have thrown every other question, how
ever important, into the background,
and have made constructive party
action impossible for long years
together.
SO far as l am myself concerned,
therefore, can never consent to have |
the question of local option made an |
issue between political parties in this |
state. My judgment is very clear in |
his matter. l do not believe that par.
.y programs of the high consequence |
TO the political life of the state and of |
the nation ought to be thrust on one |
side and hopelessly embarrassed for |
long periods together by making a po- |
litical issue of a great question which |
Is essentially non-political, non-parti- |
san, moral and social in its nature.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON, |

The Familiar Spirits.

The attention Of the Society Of Psy-
chical Resea rch should be called to the
peculiar case Of Secretary BRYAN. Ac-
cording to extensive Washington ,ies-
patches In THE Sun and other Journals
close friends OF Mr.. BRYAN declare that
he Is the subject Of constant attacks of
IAN unseen and unsuspected" nature.
OF course 1t goes without saying that
1.-The money trust and big interests" are
exerting what IL termed In psychical
circles as 1.-The control This well
known evil eye never sleeps. Wher-
ever a political seance Is held for the
furtherance of insidiOus machina tons
there is a bevy Of Wall Street spooks
present to direct the hand Of the per-
tdlous medium.
This highly astral persecution takes
form, however, in very human and
mundane attacks. Our despatch says:
The criticism of Mr.. BRYAN for his
numerous absences from Washington. for
his adherence to the demands Of his profit
able lecture business, the ridicule aimed at
him In regard to the grape Juice Incidents
and his alleged spoliation OF the offices In
the state Department and diplomatic SER
vice. all this criticism. II In said. has been
in very large part due TO the unseen
activities of the moneyed combination
secretly working TO undermine his position
In the Government and In the public
mind"
In other words whoever laughs at Mr.
BRYAN Is not only guilty Of lese maj
esty but is hired assassin Of the pow
instigator Of their playfulness that
brought upon the members of the Cara
bao Society such II richly deserved re-
bukc. There Is likewise safe ground
for beli.,inv that tn. London Punch
and certain other foreign and wholly
impious PAPERS ARE Secretly working
to undermine Mr.. BHyAN's position In
the public mind.
Citizens who wish hcnceforth To be
free from suspicion should applaud Mr..
BRYAS'S rather frequent absences from
his post ~ duty; they should favor his
lecture profits ~ beneficial both TO
himself ana 10 the welfare Of the re-.
public: they should praise grape juice
as the amhrosin Of true statesmen. and
uphold "the alleged slDolIation of Of.
fees" as the Just reward of over sixteen
years of persistent energy.
