BEREA COLLEGE HOSPITAL WIN.
DICTATED

Quite little talk has been flit-
ting about, growing out OF an I'M
fortunate accident by which q
patients feet were burned by hot
water bottles at the College Hos
pital. The matter was finally
brought to a crisis when the hus-
band of the patient who had abund-
ant means brought suit against the
Institution.
The Institution admitted the &C
cident but claimed exemption from
damages under the general law OF
most states which exempts charita-
Bile hospitals fcom paying damages
provided the managers Of the hos
pitfalls have used diligence in secur-
ing the superintendent and head
nurses. This being the law Of Or
ncers Of the Institution had really
no right To consider the matter of
paying the alleged damage. The
suit was brought for 1900, but on the
morning OF the day of the trlal an
effort was made 10 get the Institu-
ton to compromise for $500, but the
Institution could no more pay $500
than $1,000 and so let the matter
come to trial The evidence was
duly heard before Judge Benton
the attorneys for the plaintiff being
Smith and Jet, and those for the
defendant. Burnam and Burnam
The jury was out less than ten
minutes and brought in a verdict
for the defendant.
The evidence was simply over
whclming that Berea College Hos
pital has been most successfully
managed and is in charge of COM
petent physician and headnurse.

A WORD TO KENTUCKY VOTERS

continued from rage One)
find eighty to ninety per cent are
there because of the Liquor Traffic
This Traffic is noted for its lawless-
ness and the chief argument against
Prohibition is, prohibition does not
would prohibit il the Traffic were
not concentrated lawlessness. II
there were no other argument
against Liquor Traffic il should be
expelled from the State and Nation
because of the spirit Of anarchy that
dominates the whole Liquor
Oligarchy.
The debauchery of politics is an
other condition to be counted in
the indictment of the Liquor Organ
ization and interests. The recent
trials in indianapolis and Terre
Haute for the debauchery Of the
electorate and the corruption of the
civic life revealed fully the close re-
lation Of the salOOnist and whiskey
politicians with rotten conditions.
No man who aligns himself with
the Liquor Traffic is fit for any Of
flee in the gift of the American
people. The politician who serves
the saloon element and prostitutes
his talents to fastening the saloons
and distilleries upon the country il
not worthy the support Of any self
respecting voter.
The Liquor forces in Kentucky
are bOasting today that they abso-
lutely control the political situa-
ton. The Republican platform wa!
written at their behest and was in
tended to stampede the forces tina
stand for sObriety and freedom. anC
to force rum control on Kentucky
The Democrats fell in line with thi.
their candidate being a plant too
Of the Liquor forces. Mr.. Stanley
advertises in the papers that If The
people would support him they
would thereby defeat Statewide
Prohibition. Taking him at his owl
word. we recognize him as the
champion Of the saloon versus the
home: OF the distiileries against the
church Of the living God. What
will Kentuckians do?
Having put the saloons out Of i0t
counties, will they now stultify
themselves. refuse to use their in
fluence in behalf Of sobriety and
turn the StSte and its products over
to the moss corrupt influence in
Christian civilization? 7 have
fought the battles Of God and Right
eOusness in Kentucky for more than
twenty years and 7 feel that I have
a right to ask my fellow-citizens To
pull with us for the redemption OF
our State from the curse and in
fanny and crime, from debauchery
and disgrace, of Liquor dominance
