The MESSAGE.

We print on page of this issue the
message of President Wilson, delivered
at the opening of Congress.
The President writes like man Of
peace desiring the greatest of peace for
this and all other countries. On the
whole, it shows that he has spent much
time and exercised great care in its prep
aration.
There is one part of the message that
we do not understand. The Democratic
party has always been opposed to ship
subsidy and the President and his Cabi-
net recently threw a fit on that point
when they urged Congress to repeal the
Free Toll Act for the Panama Canal
Yet the President is now urging that the
Government owa and operate fleet Of
ships to open up the trade between this
country and South America. He makes
the remarkable statement that after all
this is done at Government expense and
operated long enough to make it profita-
BILE, that then it could be turned over to
individual companies. The question at
once arises-why should the Govern
ment turn it over to individuals il it
blazes the way and makes it pEo6ta-

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Last Friday the Court of Appeals de-
clared unconstitutional the Workman
Compensation Act. Special JuGgA Dor
sey wrote the opinion, which was con-
Cured in by four of the court. Chief
Justice Hobson and Judges Lassing and
Miller dissented.
The act under consideration. passed
by the last Legislature, was clearly IN
conflict with the Kentucky constitution.
The constitution prohibits the Legisla-
ture from passing a law limiting liaoll-
ity in the case of death. But the act IN
question undertook to get around this
constitutional provision and gave the
corporations of the State law which
would practically prevent an employe
from bringing a suit 10 recover for an
injury received at their hands.
Besides being clearly unconstitutional,
because it was an express violation of
the constitution, it was also unconsti-
tutional on the ground that it was con-
trary 10 a sound public policy. 1t IS
ridiculous TO say that either an en-
ploye or an employer are to be bound in
the transaction of their private affairs
by a law which limits the right Of both
parties in the transaction, neither OF
whom had any voice in the making of
the law, and all of whom are adults.
Nearly everything that the last Legis-
lature did has been declared unconstitu-
tionaI, yet it cost the State over $780,
to hold the Legislative session.
Again we say that We stand for a
Legislature every ten years and for a
qualification attached to the members
thereof The State demands that coun-
ty clerks, circuit clerks, county attor-
neys, commonwealth attorneys, Cir
cult judges and judges of the Court of
Appeals shall have certain qualifications
before holding their offices, but when it
comes to making the law, just ''any old
thing" will do.
The last session of the Legislature is a
strong argument in favor of abolisning it,

AT THE CROSSING.

The L. & n. Railroad Company has
t,yo oreat trunk lines in the State OF
Kentucky. One OF them runs through
Kentucky from north to south; the
other from east to west They cross at
Richmond. But Richmond is more than
a mere railroad crossing. In the heart

the Cumberland Mountains in slght on
the east and south, it is the gateway 10

Eighth District Teachers Meet.

Mr.. E. G. McDougle spent Friday and
Saturday at Harrodsburg in attendance
at the 7Ih annual meeting of the Eighth
District Teachers Association. He serv-
ed as judge in the inter-school contests
and delivered two addresses, one on ''Ac-
credited Home Work. and another on
"The Educational Value of Play"
There were about 200 teachers and the
friends of education in attendance and
an excellent program was rendered with
out single absence on the part of those
assigned to duty. The Mercer county
teachers entertained the Association at
luncheon on Saturday. Every one was
enthusiastic in praise Of the splendid ar
engagements and the fine program. One
visitor who attends many such associa-
tions and the K. E A. regularly said the
program was one OF the best he had ever
heard, and was good enough for the K.
E. A. itself. Supt. W. T. Hart. of Mich
olasville. was selected as president for
the coming year and the association will
meet at Nicholasville on the last Friday
and Saturday in October, 1915.
The Eighth District Association was
organized in Richmond six years ago,
but has grown slowly in numbers and
enthusiasm. The Harrodsburg meeting
was great step forward and next years
meeting should be still larger and more
enthusiastic. DR.. McDougle was the
only representative from Madison coun-
~ in attendance. Why not dismiss all
schools Fridayat noon next year and let
Madison county teachers attend the
Nicholasville meeting in large numbersz

EDISON.S Loss

The great plants of Thos. A. Edison
were burned last Wednesday at West
Orange, n. J. The property loss is
about $1,000, 900, insurance 81, COO, 600.
This may be the loss in money value,
but the loss to Mr.. Edison and the world
is still greater. At the advanced age OF
20 he cannot now renew his plant and
have before him the experience Of the
past. Il is true that his successes re-
main in.part and can be replaced. But
there is in the life Of an inventor a Ger.
tain value in his failures. Many of these
roads must be travelled again with much
toll aad patience. These were the step
ping stones to his successes. There is
a value in the old familiar Things, tools
and appliances. It is like a well-worn
and familiar book. When il is lost, the
new book cannot take its place. So it
will be with Mr.. Edison. The world
with him in his loss.

at thai place participated. The object
of the contest was to determine whether
the men or women mem bers of the
church could show the better record for
attendance, promptness and class grade
at church services and Sunday school
for period of one month"; the side los
ing to tender a banquet TO the winners.
All the married men arranged them
selves on one side and their wives on
the other, and for a month the church
has had the largest attendance in its
history, but as was anticipated the good
women won, and as result all enjoyed
an elaborate banquet at the church on
the night of December l, which was paid
for by the gallant male members of the
congregation. The banquet was one of
the largest and most ENJOYABLE ever
spread in the town, and as a result of the
Contest the attendance and interest in
the church and Sunday school have
more than doubled.

COOPER CREATES A DEEP
IMPRESSION.
Philanthropist and His Celebra-
ted Tanlac Much Discussed
In State.

L. T. Cooper, the man who has been
so widely discussed in Lexington and
the larger cities of The country, is now
creating profound impression with bis
health theories and celebrated medicine
throughout Central Kentucky.
Mr.. Cooper is man of rare talents,
magnetic force and charm of manner.
de never ceases TO surprise you with
the infinite variety of his knowledge and
its absolute correctness and thorough
ness.
Mr.. Cooper claims chiefly that most
OF the i'll health of today is due almost
entirely to those habits which best dis
tinguish the white man from the savage
of the jungle. He says that nine times
out Of ten it is the result, more or less,
of weakened, out-of-order stomach,
and nine times out often these disorders
are due to too much eating aud drinking
and onr other faulty methods Of living.
But it is alwaps possible 10 make some
effort toward healthful living. he says.
and in connection with his lectures, he

Tanlac is called the magic medicine
and is made mainly from the medicinal
properties Of plant discovered on an
island in the Pacific Ocean, west Of
Mexico
1t is said that Tanlac quickly over
comes stomach, kidney and Intestinal
ailments, and will actually prolong life
by restoring and keeping up the vigor
of youth.
In New York, boston and Philadel-
phia, as well as in Lexington. tens of
thousands have been converted to Coop
er's theories and have been benefited by
his marvellous medicine.
He gives the agency for bis medicine
