 Court after court has held valid the contentious of the Wrights as to the fundamental nature of their method of control, and now the same thing has been done in the United States Circuit Court of A, peals.

 From some points of view the con- plete suspension of the Wright pat ents can be regretted It will tend, for instance, to restrict the number of experimenters in aerial navigation.

Smelling inquiry. Still On.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.-There have ben rumors recently of. tentative efforts on the part of the American Smelling and Refining Company to provide by negotiations for compli- ance with the antitrust law and thus avoid possible prosecution by the government. The field of inquiry in to the smelting company is so vast and intricate, 1t was explained, that 1t will take long time to obtain the information necessary to determine the basis and scope of any proposed prosecution.

 Can good football player be poor student of the gamer The answer to this question was made ut Toledo. O.. recently when Jimmy Craig. the great Michigan halfback and one of the very best of the 1913 crop. struggled through a very sorry exhibition of at- tempting to referee an important high school game between Toledo and Oak Park.
 Much of the game was spent in wranglIng with Craig over decisions. in many instances tiagrantly wrong Craig lost his bearings frequently and had to ask the head linesman for ad- vice Craig didn't know the rules. but in spite of that he still was able to play wonderful football himself.

ANOTHER WRIGHT VICTORY.

When the Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, proved. ten years ago. lxhat flight in machines heavier than lair was not the dream of crazy peo- sple and poets which it had for cen sturies been called by everybody cred- .ited with sound sense, no doubts were expressed anywhere about their "prior rights" to fame. We all knew, sof course, that dozens of other men had been working on the same prob lem, but we also knew that none of those others ha' succeeded in solv- ing it. As soon, however, as the Wrights succeeded in getting up in- to the air and staying there. at first flor minutes and then for hours, ti hitherto impossible task became easy for not few ingenious and courag- ,eous mechanics, in this and other countries.
 Each of the suddenly competent -fliers claimed to navigate the air by a device of his own, and long be- fore more than a few of us had yet seen an aeroplane in action the
 Wrights were spending more time and money in defending their pat sents in court than in the development Of the new art.

SEA Sl 4VES.'

GA hill to abolish the involuntary seryitude imposed upon seameh Ill the merchant marine of the Cnlleo States while in foreign ports, ana 'he involuntary servitude imposed upon the seamen of the merchant marine of foreign countries while ill ports ol inc United States"-that is the htie of Senator La Follette's Seamens bill. Are sailors slaves while Ill port?
 If they have not broken their con- +racts their service is not lnVolun- tary and it is not servitude. 1ne question is pertinent, however. whetn- or a civil contract tor service, II broken. should involve criminal pro ceed;ngs. The treaties of the United States with foreign countries permit the foreign consular officers i'll American ports to decide whether de- serters from the merchant marine or Their respective countries shall be ar rested; federal law pledges the ald of the American police in enforcing tine consular decisions ,
 If civil damages can be collected either in practice or in theory, the ,vonalty of imprisonment should not .Ae inflicted. A contract with & great singer to appear in opera may, De -suforced to the extent of putting the vocalist in jail, because no one else .caa be hired to do what he alone IS s,eculiarly fitted to do. The La Fol- lette bill requires that, in case or d sertion of all or part of crew. the master shall ship number or smen at the first port equal to the number of those whose services he has been deprived of" If the crew when in a distant port should desert, the master might not find men whom .Ae could ship to continue the voy- age. Interference with the transpor- 1ation of the mails and practices Of extortion would be easy under this amendment.
 The law now gives discretion to -.ahe foreign consular officers in such cases. Might it not properly be amended to require that. save when it Is impossible otherwise to obtain .@ full complement of men, the pen Salty of arrest for desertion be abol- :ished?
 The bill provides that "fogging and 4aH other forms of cruel punishment are hereby prohibited on board of amy vessel" The law already for bids cruel or inhuman treatment Of ,.seamen. Flogging is no longer prac- .ticed on board ocean steamships. as -it was practice on sailing vessels in the old days. The insertion in the bill of a clause prohibiting flogging must, therefore, be due to an effort to mislead the public.

It is only recently that Carpenter has developed sufli- ciently to fight in the heavyweight in the last two years and is still at that age where further development is possible.
 The Frenclman has splendid ring record, though, of course. he will have to meet some of the American fighters before correct line on his ability is to be had. Just now his chances to ad- vance to the front are better than they have ever been. for it must be admit ted that the class of fighters is ut a low ebb. and it would not require more than an ordinarily good fighter to make clean sweep.
 The American "white hopes" are poor lot as a whole, and If Carpenter is as classy as he is reported he would not have to be a gem of the first wa ter to conquer the entire lot.
 With captains selected for a number of the leading college football teams for next year. there appears to be little preference in the awarding of leader ship 80 far as playing positions are concerned.
 The returns from twenty-six colleges and universities of the east and west show that fourteen captains have been selected from back fields and twelve from the line.

And now comes Lexington

books, but can not do so for the
fact that the freight on books
from Chicago is $4,000 per car,
while the freight on books to
Louisville is but $75 per car, the
freight therefore being SO over
double what it is to Louisville.
This difference in freight is caus-
ed from the fact that the l.. &

Mr.. Cantrill says he does not

he does not believe in three

two.thirds of the counties ruling
the Others without even a sav.so

vote of the States. When he
predicts what will happen if the

that the people will vote a change
in the Constitution, if they are
allowed an opportunity. What

A Valued Endorsement.
Northmiddletown, KY,
JulV II, 1914.

''i! hfb h'A u
To the Democratic Voters of Sew.
enth Congressional District:
am in my seventy eighth year
of age; was born, reared and liv.
ed nearly all my life in Bourbon
county, Kentucky.
Have been a preacher of the
Christian church nearly fifty five
years, aud | wish to say that |
have known the Hon. Claude NJ.
Thomas from childhood to the
present.
Joined farms with his father
for twenty.six years, and when
Claude Thomas was boy we re-
garded him as one of the bright
est and best boys of our county {;
as a young man clean, sober,
moral and upright gentleman,
and today he is model Christian
gentleman and stands above re-
proacb.
He has been opposed to whis-
key, and all sorts of immortality
from his early boyhood days. He
is in every way qualified to make
us just such a Congressman as we
need to bring honor to the Sew.
enth District.
He is a man that knows moth.
ing about billingsgate, mud
singing and classifying; he moves
in higher plane of thought,
He is democrat in politics,
never having scratched Il ticket.
He has been a Wilson man before
and after the Baltimore conven.
ton, and has unbOunded conf
dence in his administration. He
has endorsed prohibition, and be
assured you have no greater
friend, and no more faithful,
earnest advocate.
He is a great all.round man, a
man of intellect, education, up
rightness of character, and in
soundness of moral principle, ir-
reproachable. When there is a
neral issue before the people we
never have to inquire as to where
he stands. Always ready and
willing to work for the moral
betterment and uplIft of the
people.
The people of our district
should without fail select him as
our candidate, and be sure to E.
lect him at the fall election. His
influence for good would be great
and in a brief time would rise
star of the first magnitude in
the Congressional galaxy.
Yours very truly,
l.. ii. Reynolds.

THE NEW YELLOW PERIL.

How fast China Is progressing in
the matter OF becoming Americanized
may be determined by observing her
plans for capturing the Far Eastern
Olympic games. which will be held in
Shanghai in October. Last year the
athletes OF the young Oriental republic
put up strong fight for victory at
the Olympic games in Manila. but were
nosed out by the AmerIGan-coached
Filipino athletes But already this
year a national athletic meet has been
held in the historic Temple of Heaven
grounds in Pekin in preparation for
the Shanghai games, and scores Of
young Cinnamon are training for the
big meet, in which japanese, Siamese,
and Filipinos will also be entered.
We have heard much OF late of the
yellow peril. To the athletic prestige
Of the occident the Orient will eventu-
ally constitute a real peril and the
Olympic games held in Europe or
America will not be truly representa-
tive nor entItle winners to the title OF
world champions until they include
Chinese and other Oriental athletes In
their contests. They have made a
brave start in China toward the build
ing up OF a fine athletic tradition. and
people OF this generation will yet live
TO see the day when the yellow men
OF the East will be pitted in friendly
contest against the white men OF the
West. with the former neither asking
nor needing any odds.-st Paul Pho
