Before there is another issue OF the
Climax the kentucky Legislature will
have adjourned. having been in session
go days, as allowed by law. and its acts
VIII have become A part Of history. Two
bills only we wish TO briefly mention in
this article one is an amendment 10
the County Unit law known as the p
per cent. bill allowing p cent. Of the
voters OF any county 10 call an election,
instead Of - per cent. OF the voters OF
each precinct The bill has passed both
houses and now awaits the signature of
tie Governor The friends Of local op-
lion offered The bill and supported II; the
antl-local optiOnists opposing il. An
other bill was offered Involving the
question Of Statewide prohibition. This
bill passed IN the lower house two TO

and the 'drys iavoring il. IL has been
called in The Senate and placed upon the

ing the nomination IN the primary cleo
liOn the Antl-SalOOn League of the State
attempted to defeat him: passed the
word around that Mr.. White must be
beaten: that either Mr.. Miller or Mr.
Clay would be acceptable, but by no
means Mr.. White. If this is true, il is
but human nature that Mr.. White should
now seek 10 even matters and vote as
lie did. our conception of a cOunty's
representative is that he goes there 10
represent his people: to advocate such
measures as he is asked 10 do by his
constituents. or as he believes his con-
stituency would wish him TO support.
We deeply regret that Madson's repre-
sentative could not rise above his per-

keeping with modern prison ideas and
l am glad to have the permission of
the board to change it. Hereafter all
the suits in the institution will be the
same, though the grade system will
be carefully maintained"

GIRL TELLS EXCITING TALE
Fosston Teacher Was in Europe and
Heard Crash of ArtilIery-Her
Experiences.

Bemidji.-With the crash of cannon
still ringing in her ears, Miss Ida
Hendrickson, sister of Mrs. Alma
Smith of this city, brings an eye wit
ness story of the beginning of hostili-
ties in Europe.
Miss Hendrickson, who is now a
teacher in the Fosston public schools,
was in Heidelberg when war was de-
clared and was at the Vatican on the
day that Pope Plus died. At the out
break of the war her party made it's
way to Berne, Switzerland, in the vi
cinity of which she heard the crack of
guns in an engagement between Ger
man and French troops.
Miss Hendrickson's escape from Eu-
rope finally was made from Naples on
the Italian ship Verona, with LAO per-
sons crowded on board.
Italy must join the war;" said Miss
Hendrickson. The king might wish
to live up to the triple alliance and
help Germany, but everywhere in Italy
the mobs howl against Austria and
Germany and when Italy does take up
arms, it will be with the allies.
I'VE were on the Rhine, with our
headquarters at Heidelberg, on the day
the war was declared and know from
actual experience and from talking
with other American tourists, that the
reports that Americans suffered indig-
mites at the hands of the Germans are
entirely untrue.
"My heart and sympathy is with
Germany, because We were treated
with loving kindness by the Germans,
who were uniform in their hospitality
and sincere in their desire for peace.
"At Naples it was difficult to obtain
passage because Italy expects to take
part in the war and does not like to let
vessels get away. Our party managed
to arrange for passage on the Italian
liner, Verona. One American paid the
captain $500 to be permitted to occupy
his quarters coming over. Fifty Amer
leans, mostly American school teach
ers, were glad to be slowed away in
the steerage
"At Gibraltar we were halted by
British torpedo boats. British soldiers
came aboard and satisfied themselves
that we all were bound for America
and that no Germans or contraband of
war were on board"
