Frankfort, KY. June rs. 1S15.-(Spe-
cial Correspondence.)-The with
drawal OF Commissioner Of Agriculture

lowing among the extra drys." as Mr..
Newman expresses 1t. Evidently Mr..
Newman realized that he could not
make much Roadway as a state-wider
against the candidate selected by DR..
Palmer, the Anti-Saloon League super
iRtendent. and o. KID by Senator
Beckham and General Haley.
Although Mr.. Newman was the first
candidate to announce for Governor
on a statewide prohibition platform,
and had the endorsement Of the w. G.
T. u, the pioneer temperance organi-
cation Of the state, the powers that
were to direct the campaign did not
look with favor on his candidacy. Mr..
McChesney was selected as the stand
ard bearer OF the prohibitionists. His
headquarters are busy, with a large
force Of clerks. and ample funds to
make an aggressive campaign.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Newman declares.
like the good Democrat he Is, THE
Democrats will continue in power In
Kentucky, and indicate to the world
that Kentucky is behind the National
Democratic administration, and In line
for the presidential election IN 1916"

in the meantime the Hospital Annex
is able TO take care Of a great many
people and has, as a matter OF fact,
stopped epidemics Of typhoid, mea-
sizes and other diseases which
plagued our little village before the
Hospital was established.
The total cost OF the incomplete
building, as il stands, outside of the
land il occupies was si2,58O, and
the hospital furnishing costs $500
more.
The Hospital is supported from
several sources. In the first place
the College appropriates $50 a year
for every student in the Institution.
This amounts TO more than $500.
In the second place, students pay
for their board the same as they
would at Ladies' Hall and also pay
for their medicine and dressings.
Besides this citizens who are &C
e0mmodated there pay 800 q day
when they stay in the wards and
81 so day when they stay in a
private room. From all these sourc-
es there is an income Of about $1,000.
and besides this there is a deficit
every year which is TO be made up
by the friends OF Berea College. The
deficit for 1912 was i,l5O; 1913, ST.

As In his previous speeches. Mr.. Nc
Dermott gave his reasons for opposing
statewide prohibition. He served in
the Constitutional Convention and
helped place in the constitution the
provision that enables each county to
be a self-governing unit, without In
reference from outside counties. In
the last session Of the legislature,
when the present County Unit Law
was passed making the constitutional
provision fully effective. Mr.. McDer-

people can govern themselves on such

ern them.
From Paducah, Mr.. McDermott went

where he addressed rather small audi

are busy with their crops.

TwO-Cent Rate Causes Railroads to
Withdraw Many Public Privileges

Chicago-W. ]. Cannon, assistant
general passenger agent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad,
continuing his testimony in the west
ern passenger rate hearing here, said
the two-cent fare laws had wiped out
the practice of granting special rates
to fairs, conventions and resorts where
the hauls are short ones.
Experience" he said "has proved
that the institution of reductions like
tourists fares has generally stimulated
travel and as a large percentage is
carried on regular trains the railroads
can afford to make such reductions.
Tourist fares of all characters are open
to the public and necessarily reduced
the average rate per mile. Homeseek-
ers' fares, which apply to round-trip
tickets, have been made for many
years to the West, Southwest and
Northwest, and the demand continues.
THE carriers are vitally interested in
inducing settlers to take up or pur-
chase land.
Experience shows that the bargain
rate principle of granting such con-
cessions on certain days is a factor of
consequence in accomplishing the de-
sired result"
