As a Woman sees Il.

Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart ed
itor the Mountaineer published
at Morehead sensibly remarks:
Representative j. j. Huff's
bill, providing for skirts to be
thirty-One inches in width, shows
at least, a wholesome interest in
moral and physical welfare of
the feminine sex. Mr.. Huff is
a mountain man, and naturally
modest and possessed of a high
sense of decency. That he should
be shocked by seeing women
hobble along at a gait which the
Chinese even cannot initiate,
hampered by narrow skirts, is no
wonder, and his spirit of free
dom for which mountaineers are
notod, very naturally set to work
to free the poor, fashion-bound
mortals who had not courage or
sense enough to free themselves.
Mr., Huff is used to seeing wo-
men wear clothes enough to keep
them warm and enough to keep
them covered. The Clothes may
not be in the newest cut for up
here in the mountains we still
believe that clothes were first de-
signed for comfort and use, and
that is the purpose to which we
are still adapting them. II Rep
resentative Huff, from Poorfork,
Harlan county, has not given the
scantily-clad women of the cities
a rebuke, we do not know a re-
buke when we see or hear one.
The bill deserves to pass just to
show woman that all men do not
admire the ridiculous fashions to
which we have permitted the
fashion makers to subject us.

Be Vaccinated.

The small. pox situation in the
Bluegrass cities and the upper
counties has become so serious
that it is well for CLAY City peo-
pie to look to their own protec-
tion. The statistics show that
there has not been an instance in
Kentucky since 1893 that prop
erly vaccInated person has ever
taken a case of smallpox. Prop
er vaccination as outlined by the
State Board Of Health requires
that three points of reliable vi
rus be injected into a clean arm
one inch apart. The Board as
sures us that any person so vac.
cinsted will not take the disease
though they may be directly ex-
posed. Thus it will paw Clay
City people to he vaccinated
without delay.

Letcher county will follow the
prided example of Powell aud
spepd SIS, 200 in building bridg-
es in that county. Powell has
never had occasion to regret the
expenditures on any one of its
saven bridges and neither will
Leteher county ever have. But
by the way, Powell needs two
more bridges to complete the
bridge making job and we expect
these to be built before the year
fourteen ends.

PRICE OF COTTON TAKES A SLUMP Decline Due to Selling in Interior of the
 Belt

New Orleans, December 3.-The price of cotton fell off today under selling pressure that appeared to originate in the interior of the belt It was generally considered that holders of spots were selling hedges because of large private crop estimates and the fear of a large estimate by the government next week. The close was at the lowest of the day, loss of Il to 15 points on the trading months. It was the most active day and fluctuations were the widest since the resumption of future trading.
 Spots also showed a downward ten-. dency, local prices losing 3-16c, while spot markets generally marked quotations, down 1-169asc. Dallas lost lsc and quoted niddling at 6:sc, the lowest price in weeks.
 The statistics of the day were rather encouraging, but they had no influence on fluctuations. Total port receipts for the day were 49.061 bales. while total ship ments, including coastwise clearances, were 65,79s bales, causing a decrease in port stocks. Receipts thus far this week were 2S9.s54 bales. against 302.319 bales up to the same time last week, which was taken to mean that the holding move ment was growing among farmers.

URGES GOVERNMENT
 TO BE ECONOMICAL

Detroit, December 3.-Former President William H. Taft, speaking before the De- troit Bankers club tonight, urged econ- omy in the administration of the affairs of the federal government. More power" he declared, should be vested in the President to keep his hands upon the expenditure of money in the various de- partments'
 With economy and efficiency of govern ment an object, MT. Taft said:
 There are three great instrumentali- ties that ought to be created: First. ma chinery for the reorganization of the ex- ecutive departments of the government so as to eliminate Implications and over laps; second, bureau directly responsible to the President, to report him a com parative statement of economy and eff ciency in each department; and, third, a plan for bringing the executive and leg islative departments closer together and the preparation of an annual budget upon which Congress can intelligently act"

 Depression during the last half of the day in the wheat pit entrusted strongly with bullish sentiment at the start. Liver pool reported offerings there were light and the demand increa singly urgent. Ad- vices were at hand that Italy had ex- tended until June a reduction of the custom house charges on imports. There were also numerous reports of dry wealth CT threatening the domestic winter crop. especially in western Kansas
 Realizing sales that finally swung ths wheat market to the bear side came chiefly from speculators. The downward tendency in the late trading was quick ened, somewhat as a result of export call appearing to be hampered by lack of readily available vessels to load for Flu rope.
