247 To l6l Tolls Repeal Bill Passes
House By Above Figures And
President Is Sustained.

On last Tuesday night after one of
the most bitter struggles ever waged in
the National House of presentatives,
that body voted to repeal the provi-
sions of the Panama Canal Act exemp-
ting American Vessels from the pay
ment Of tolls, by vote of 247 to 161
thereby sustaining President Wilson in
his contention for what he termed
1.-The nations honor. The result,
while victory, was but the beginning
of victory for the administration, fol
the measure will now go to the Senate,
and it will be attacked today pending
its passage before that body with as
much vigor as marked its turbid jour.
ney through the House.
With Speaker Clark and Leader
Underwood championing the opposition
and putting up such a fight as these
two mighty leaders are able to give,
the battle waXed warm indeed, and the
victory for the administration was al
the greater for the stubborn opposition.
On the final votes 22O Democrats sus.
tanned the President in his contention,
and they were Joined by 25 Republicans
and 2 Progressives; 81 Democrats fol-
lowed Speaker Clark to ignominious
defeat in championing what he heldwas
the mistaken policy of the President
that toll exemption for American YES
sells was a violation of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty with Great Britain.
The Kentucky delegation voted as
follows; for the repeal of the measure
Messrs Barley, Cantrill, Fields, John
son, Rouse, Shirley, Stanley, Thomas
while Messrs Helm, Powers and Lang
ley voted against it.
When the news of the success of the
measure was brought to the President
he was at the dinner table, and while
exhibiting marked qualification, he de-
clined to comment.

SENATOR CHARLES F. MONTGOMERY.

We know of no young man that has
arisen so rapidly in public favor as
Senator Charles F. Montgomery of
Liberty who represented the Counties
of Garrard, Lincoln, Boyle and Casey

Assembly. While he was not at all
times with the majority of his associates
in the Senate the positions he took

President Wilson'S administration
faced its first real test at Washington
last Friday when Congress had under
consideration measure to repeal the
law permitting coast wise vessels car
rying American goods to pass through
Panama canal free of toll. The Demo-
cratic Administration considered this
repeal necessary and seem to stake all
upon having the present law repealed.
The debate Incidental to the Admins
tration's policy is said to be the most
bitter had in Washington in many years
and it is ind eed gratifying to Democrats
every where who are in sympathy with
the success of President " ilson and
the party that the President will be
successful in having his plans carried
out.
Its generally conceded that the coast
wise shipping industry is owned and
controlled by Trust and that there is
no competition in shipping rates. While
it is alleged that these are American
vessels seeking to go through the canal
free of toll it is equally true that the
American people now shall have but
little interest in this industry. The
people as whole of the United States
have contributed to the building of the
canal and We see no good reason why
a subsidy should be granted by the
Government to aid shipping industry
by permitting free tolls through the
peoples national waterway. The
maintaining of the Panama Canal will
entail a great expense upon the Gov
eminent and all ships passing through
the canal ought to be required to pay
toll and thus sufficient funds be collect
ed to meet this expense.
The Democratic Party has always
opposed ship subsidy and free tolls
through the Canal can be nothing more
than violation of one of the funda-
mental principles long recognized by
our party. which we think furnishes
the President reason equally as good
tor his position as that free tolls to
American vessels is in violation of a
contract made with England when this
Canal was built. Those few Democrats
who went back on the administration
at this crisis of the party will receive
little comfort from their constituents
at home.

This marvellous production is the
third and greatest of the Colossal
Liebler Co., spectacles from the Cen
fury Theatre, New York, the compan-
ion play to THE Garder of Allah" and
The Daughter of Heaven.
Joseph and His Brethren" is uni
versallv conceded to be the most mag
nifcert theatrical show yet gwen in
America. In London it is now being
done by an English company headed by
Sir Beerbohm Tree and Miss Maxine
Elliott, but next week Lexington gets
the original New York production with
its world of scenery and effects and the
same supdrb cast of principals which
played the piece there all last winter.
There are four acts, eleven massive
scenes, and small army of two hum
bred and fifty people concerned in the
play. Brandon lyman plays Joseph;
that sterling stage veteran, James
o, Neill, Jacob; and the most beautiful

day, who has given the contemporary
stage John Drew's Rosemary,

that force of one hundred men are
necessary for its handling. There are
herds of camels, oxen, asses, goats,
horses, and sheep. There is a ballet
corps of twenty-four dancers in the
wonderful palace scene In Pharaoh's

Serious Operation And Is Critically

Drs. Elliott of this place and Jackson

Ray at his home on the Richmond pike
on last Saturday for appendicitis, and
he is now in critical condition with
scant hopes entertained for his recov-

had been about his farm duties up to
the time he was stricken.
Mr.. Ray served one term as Garrard
cOunty's representative in the Kentuc-

zen and clever gentleman, and his
many friends are hoping that his con-
dition may take turn for the better
and that he may make rapid recovery.

1t is conceited that Speaker Champ
Clark made the greatest speech ever
heard from him in his twenty two years
in congress in defending his position
against the repeal of the free toll meas
ure.
The President was complimented and
the administration praised unstintingly
in his eloquent appeal which was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm by his
colleagues of all parties. The speaker
is complimented upon the tactful
speech made at time when the party
was in great peril and it is thought
that his speech will aid in keeping the
party united.

Winnino a Thousand,

Some years ago a jewery firm in

a fine pearl, offering it to him for 3d.
coo This Mr.. Morgan decided to pur-
chase, and two checks were made out
one for $4,000 and the other for $4,-
900. He then removed the pearl from
its box and, having substituted for it
the $4,000 check, resealed the package.
Mr.. Morgan's clerk was next dispatch
ed to the jewelers. with the sealed box
and note containing the check for
$4,000, stating that Mr.. Morgan would
be pleased to purchase the paarl if
they would be satisfied with the check.
The unsuspecting jewelers-in igno-
rance of course, of what the sealed
package now contained-closed with
the astute financiers offer. And the
box in which the $1,000 check serenely
reposed was returned to Mr.. Morgan
unopened!

Both Commanders Perished.

A memorable sea fight in the war Of
1872 was the battle between the Amer
lcan ship Enterprise, IL guns and 1902
men, and the British Boxer, IA guns
and 100 men. The Enterprise was com
manded by Lieutenant Burrows and
the Boxer by Captain Blythe. The bat
tie occurred Sept. 4, 1872, in the bay not
far from Portland, Me-, and resulted in
the capture of the Boxer, both com.
manders being killed. The two vessels
were taken into Portland on the 18th
OF September and anchored off shore.
The cofIined bodies of the two COM
marders were roWed ashore by sailors
of both ships and after public funeral
services were buried side by side in
the village cemetery. Longfellow, then
lad of five years old and living in
Portland, recalls the event in his poem
"My Lost YOUTH" written during
visit to Portland in 1916, in which he
says:
remember the sea fight far away
How it Numbered DER the tide!-
And the dead captains, as they lay
In their graves, o'erlooking the tranquil
bay,
Where they in battle died.

Wheeler Bros. Circus july 8

During the history of the Wheeler
Brothers Shows they have been noted for
putting on the most intensely realistic
racing in its Hippodrome Contests that
we're ever witnessed under canvas, put
on in manner that distinguishes them
from the farces of racing seen with other
shows. Among the races put on are
Flat Races, Running Races, Man against
horse, Hurdle Races, Elephant, Camel
and Pony Races. Also the ever exciting
Chariot Races.
During the racing an exhibition of
daring riding will be given by a troupe
Of genuine Cossack Riders, who without
doubt accomplish more difficult and
death-defying feats than any riders that
have ever visited this country.
By means of cash prizes to the lady
and gentleman winning the most of the
races during the week, the show has
caused real rivalry to exist between the
contestants, and though the racing is
good natured, yet it is always for blood
and testing the nerve and ingenuity of
the riders and the speed of the horses to
the entire satisfaction of the spectators.
