Submarines May Have
Been Waiting For Ship

The presence of German submarines
off the southern coast of Ireland and
along the line of travel the Lusitania
would follow in going to Liverpool,
was made known in a dispatch from
Glasgow last night which recited that
the British steamer Cherbury had
been torpedoed in the Atlantic ocean,
off the Irish coast. This was on April
27. Two other vessels were sent to the
bottom more recently, the Centurion
and the Candidate. Just where these
ships were attacked has not been made
known but their destinations lead to
the belief that one or more German
submarines have been operating in the
lines of transatlantic travel. 1t may
be that they were waiting for the Lusi-
tania, and in the meanwhile attacked
such other vessels as came within
their range.

As one grows old their organs act
more slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges-
ton weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener
and body builder for old folks because
it creates good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the
blood, improves circulation and in this
natural manner builds up, strengthens
and invigorates feeble, rundown, nerv-
Gus and aged people, and if it does not do
all we say, we will pay back your

JAMES REAL MOTIVE

Why should Senator James desire
to destroy Senator Camdeni
Taking a peep into the future, the
question is easily answered. Sena-
.or James sees in Mr.. Camden q
most formidable contestant, three
years hence, for the James seat in
the Senate. If it is possible for
him now to destroy the Camden in
lluence and prestige, then the seat
can be retained. If he can not de-
stroy his colleagues influence now,
then there will be q poor chance
latn,,.
The mental process is extremely
simple, and if a mans actions can
denote the prompting thought in the
brain, then Senator James motive
for his attacks on Senator Camden
is crystal clear.
Every earmark of the attack
shows our conclusion to be correct.
Was the James speech a dignified
argument delivered for the purpose
Of converting Senator Camden to
his way of thinkingf No part Of
the speech was an argument as has
been pointed out by Mr.. Breckin-
ridge, and the speech contained no
single statement of either fact OF
argument that would change the
opinion, already formed, of any in
telligent man.
On the other hand, Senator
James speech was nothing NOR.
or less than bitter personal at
tack. Not in the least an argu-
neht, if was an occasion to vent
personal spleen, fathered and urg-
ed on by a selfish desire to "get"
Senator Camden.
Senator Camden needs no one
to defend him. He is a straight
thinking man who has very probab-
ly reached the right conclusion.
/ On the other hand, Senator
James, too eager Of opportunity,
has bitten himself. The venom did
not find resting place in the object
of his attack, thanks to the public
ity given the matter by few people
who see clearlY.=Paris Democrat.

REFUSED PARDON

Governor McCreary refused to
pardon Banker George Alexander
although the petition was signed by
a large number Of prominent Bour-
bon county people. Mr.. Alexander
is said to be in very poor health.
In refusing the pardon the Governor
is quoted as saying that as a man
he felt sorry for him and would be
glad to do anything he could for
him, but as Governor of Kentucky
he could not grant him a pardon.
The Governor has repeatedly told
friends and members of Mr.. Alex
ander's family who have called on
him in the interest Of pardon for
the convicted banker that they had
presented no reason that would JUS
tify executive clemency under the
circumstances.

to break into his house. One night
he thought he heard the lion prowling
around, and promptly fred out Of tina
