This has been wonderful crop
season in more ways than one. The
newspapers are full OF accounts OF
abnormal crowths in the vegetable
and fruit Kingdoms. while the plen-
itude Of almost all crops has been
astonishing. For al these things we
should be thankful and show our
gratitude by conserving the yield in
an effective way. A lean year may
follow this one and We should be
prepared for it If II comes.

Former Secretary w. J. Bryan ID
persistent in his attacks upon Presi-
dent Wilson because OF the iatter's
attitude on the matter OF national
defense. Mr.. Wilson believes in be-
ing prepared for war; Mr.. Bryan is
in the attitude OF contending fon
peace at any price. In this matter
il is well TO remember The oft-quot-
cd expression that II is "a condition
and not a theory that confronts US. I"
Nobody doubts that Mr.. Bryan is
conscientious in what he contends
for. being very able In presentation
OF same. But We must either in
crease and improve our national de-
fenses or abolish them altogether SO
far as usefulness is concerned. Which
Is best?

Ben johnson VIII Redeem IL.

The recent election seems to have
clearly established the fact that the
Fourth Congressional district, which
went Republican, as it did in 1907,
when Hager was the nominee for
Governor, subordinates everything
to the dry" sentiment. The Fourth
district was Influenced in 1907 bp
the kilograms from the Anti-Saloon
League that the liquor interests
we're behind the DemocIstic ticket,
and last Week the same influences
appear to have got in their work de-
spite the fact that both Stanley and
Morrow were running on the same
platform with reference to the IL
quor issue. Although the Fourth
district landed In the Republican
column by nearly 500 majority last
week, Congressman Ben johnson is
expected to have little trouble in re-
deeming il to Democracy by good
majority next year. as ne always ap-
pears able to reconcile the discord-
ant elements. Last year he won
for Congress by nearly 1000 major
ity when the wet" and "dry" issue
was as keen as now.--LLouisvilIe

manly thing for Mr.. Morrow to do
when he came out in a card ac-
knowledging his defeat and deciin-
ing to enter into a contest before the

sred a bullet through third party.
for which he paid fine of 800, be-

that the game laws Of Kentucky are

The recent election demonstrated
one thing conclusively and that is.
the independent voter is becoming
more numerous each year. Many
men are declining to longer be
bound by party bonds. They are
learning to scratch" with decision
and effect They may prefer to vote
for a majority Of their party's nom
inees. but they reserve the right to
cross over and vote for q man or
two on some other ticket. Hereaf-
ter they must be taken into consid-
Grafton. very much in political cal
culations. Voting is q constitution
al right and no one can deny the
freedom attached to it.

London, Feb. 24-The British admir-.
atty announces that the Irish channel

tween England and Scotland and Ire

tion from to-day.
The southern entrance, known as st
Georges channel, to the Irish channel
Is between Carnsore Point on the Irish
coast and st. David's head on the oppo-
site coast of Wales. Certain areas OF
this channel have been closed TO mer-
camille navigation by the admiralty's
orders, which also require that all traffic
wishing to proceed through the North
channel must pass between sunrise and
sunset. No ship viii be allowed within
four miles OF Rathlin inland between

WILSON HAS NEW PLAN
ON FOOD EMBARGO
Has Instructed Ambassador to Present
Proposition Informally to Great
Britain and Germany
Proposal Not Revealed.

Washington, D. G., Feb, 24.-Proposals
have been made informally by the Unit
ed States government to both Great
Britain ana Germany suggesting basis
for an understanding on the subject Of
foodstufTs for the civilian population Of
belligerents and submarine warfare
against merchant ships.
These proposals have been guarded
with the utmost secrecy and their ma
tire has not been revealed by officials,
who are reluctant to discuss them be-
cause of the delicaey of the negotia-
tions.
simultaneously with the revelation
last night that a new move had been
made by the Washington government
came dispatches telling Of the blowing
steamship Carib, near the German coast,
an incident which increased the anxiety
on the part of the officials for an early
understanding with the belligerents.
The wreck of the first vessel. the Ev-
elvn, was viewed by President Wilson
as a tragic accident due to the possi-
bic failure OF the captain 10 heed the
German admiralty's instruction respect
ing the location OF its mine fields.
The proposals made TO the belligerents
are known to be Of far-reaching impor-
tance. They were embodied in conf
Dental memorandum which both Ambas
sadors Page and Gerard were instructed
hy President Wilson 10 take up in
formally with the respective foreign of
ices at London and Berlin. The new
communications are in no sense replies
TO the notes Of Germany and Great Brit
ain. although they relate TO the same
subject. They constitute what are de-
scribed in diplomacy as "informal inquir-
ies.g and frequently, If acceptable, be-
come formal.
Speculation as TO what suggestions
were made was widespread in diplomatic
quarters, but none Of the ambassadors
and ministers here was aware, il was
said. Of their contents. The belief most
commonly held, however, was that some
form Of supervision over the distribu
tion Of foodstufs 10 the civilian popula
tion Of Germany, either by American
consular agents or American organiza-
tions bad been proposed. Il vas re-
called that such a proposal was made
bv Germany. but could not b. put into
effect without the consent Of all the
bclligcrcnts.
Germany has offered 70 abandon her
submarine warfare il assured that ships
laden with foodstufs for Germany whl
not b. interrupted BY Great Britain.

OF Foodstuffs to German
Civilians Reported to
Be Proposition
WHICH IS PRESENTED
BY PRES. WILSON
Administration Officials De-
cline to Discuss the
Proposal

Washington, D. G., Feb. 2l.-Admin-
istration officials to- day continued to be
silent regarding the informal proposals
the United States has made to Great
Britain and Germany for an unddr-
standing on the questions Of food-stuffs
for civilian population Of belligerent ma
tions and submarine warfare against
mercantile shipping.
The nature of the proposals was not
disclosed on account of the delicacy OF
the negotiations in diplomatic circles.
However, it is generally believed that
the suggestion was made that the Amer
lean consular representatives or Amer
lean organizations supervise the distrib-
ution of foodstuffs to the German civ
ilian population.

JUMPED 500 FEET IN
WASHINGTON SPIRE
Woman Was Killed Before She Reached
Bottom of Elevator Shaft-Left
Note Saying She Was Bur-
den to Her Husband.

Washington. d. c., Feb. 24.-Mrs. G. +.
Cockrell of Del Ray, Va, jumped into
the elevator shaft of the Washington
monument at a landing near the top late
Yesterday and fell to the bottom, mole
than 500 feet below. She left a note ad-
dressed to her husband saying she was
sure she could not recover from an i'll
ness. Her body was crushed by strik-
ing the sides Of the shaft on the way
down and she was dead before her body
reached the bottom.
The district coroner issued a certificate
of death by suicide. Mrs. CocTelPs fare
we'll note. written on a physicians pre-
seription blank, and left in the monu-
ment, said she realized she was bur
den" to her husband and asked that her
body be cremated.
1t was the first time the towering obe-
lsk, which was opened to the public in
1888. had been the scene Of suicide.
An hour before the monument was
closed for the day. Mrs. Cockrell went
to the observation gallery near the top
of the structure in the elevator. A few
minutes later she walked down to the
third landing, and clambered between the
steel rails that separate the elevator
shaft from the stairway. Sightseers
screamed and Miss Edna Rockefeller OF
Tacoma Park rushed TO Mrs. CockrelPs
side and clutched at her clothing. There
was brief struggle, then portions Of
the dress gave way and Mrs. Cockreil
plunged down the shaft.
As she fell, her body caromed from
side to side, striking against the rail-
ings. Horror-stricken tourists and the
watchmen at the base of the monument
notified officials.
A few hours earlier. Mrs. Cockrell had
gone with her husband TO the Office Of
local specialist on nerve troubles. She
was 80 years old.
