Hon. J. B. Snyder, of Williams
burg, who is now and has been
Commonwealth Attorney for
some years of the district of which
Whitley County was part, and
We learn with interest that he is a
candidate for reelection to this
office. We are interested in the
candidacy and reelection of Mr..
Snyder for different reasons: the
chief among which is the fact that
he has been instrumental in break
ing up the liquor traffic along the
state line and adjacent to our COM
munity. When he came into office
there were nearly so Government
licenses in force in Whitley County,
and whiskey was being sold at
different points in said county and
more especially Jellico, Ky, and
Corbin. Through his efforts in
prosecuting offenders, this practice
has been broken up and the places
where liquor was sold are now
the most peaceable in the county.
1t was thought by many at the
time Mr.. Snyder was elected to
this important Office, which CORES
ponds to the office of the Attorney
General in this state, he was too
young for the responsibilities at
tached thereto but time and results

We note with interest that Hon.
JoSph B. Snyder, of Williamsburg,
is candidate for reelection tothe
office of Commonwealth Attorney
in the 54th Judicial District of
Kentucky, which is composed of
Whitley, McCreary and Knox coun-
ties.
Bell County was formerly a part
of Mr.. Snyder's district, and as
Commonwealth Attorney he pro-
secuted Charles Tibbs in 1909 1910
for the murder of Charles c. Hay
mes, of Tazwell, which led to the
conviction and Imprisonment of
TibbS. The vigor with which Mr.,
Snyder prosecuted violators of the
law in his district is we'll remem-
bered by all who came in contact
with him and for ability and deyo-
ton to duty he has gained a state
wide reputation as a prosecutor, as
well as the respect of the people of
Tennessee adjoining his district.
1t is hoped by all law abiding citi-
zens that Mr.. Snyder will be sue
cessful in his candidacy for reelec-

sure | will not have opposition for

AS to my predecessors. Judge
L. p. Fryer, who is now Circuit
Judge of this district, served one
full term Immediately before | be-
gan; he was not candidate for
reelection but ran for Circuit
Judge and was elected without OPP
position.
Judge Fryer was preceded by J.
T. Simon who served one full term
and was not a candidate for reelec-
ton.
Prior to this the district was
composed of some eight counties
and the criminal branch was sepa-
rate. The last Commonwealth

was Judge W. w. Cleary. of
Covington who served the district
eighteen or twenty years and after
the change in the district was cleo
ted to the same office for Kenton

death.

THOSE MICHIGAN SOLONS
ARE FUNNY FELLOWS
Would Analyze Darkness Before
Passing Bill Requiring All Vehicles
to Carry Lights.

LANSING. Mich, March 1S.-After
futile attempts had been made to
amend the bill introduced by Sen.
George Barnes, of Flint, requiring all
vehicles TO carry lights, so that it
would have been rendered inopera-
tive. the measure was finally passed in
committee of the whole.
The bill as drafted by Sen. Barnes
is patterned after a similar statute in
force in Wisconsin, and as it was the
first bill introduced by the Flint SEN
ator TO be reported on in committee
of the whole, Barnes did not take
kindly to the kidding" antics of some
of his colleagues.
While provision is made in the bill
that all horse drawn vehicles travel
ing the public highways at night shall
carry lights. il eXempts loads of hay
and straw, Sen. James Wood offered
an amendment when the bill was be-
ing considered in committee of the
whole, which would require the driver
of a wagon containing a load Of hay
or straw to place lighted lanterns on
the vehicle while travelling under
cover of darkness. This amendment
was voted down, and Sen. Woodwork
offered another that horse drawn
should carry lamps only on
dark nights. Woodwork declared
that on moonlight nights lanterns
would be unnecessary. This precipi-
tated a discussion as to what consti-
tuted a dark night, and Sen. Walter
asked that Dairy and Food Commits
sioner Helme be requested 10 analize
darkness and render a report at the
next session. After considerable dis
cuSsiOn the bill finally passed in COM
mittee of the whole in slightly
amended form.

MOST SUCCESSFUL
PIECE OF SURGERY
DIR. IL. Ii. DugdaIe Says 1t Was When

Rib of Man.

St. Joseph County Medical associa-
ton held its fourth annual dinner at

that the most successful piece of sur
gerry was when woman was made
from the rib of man, toasted the la

who are the wives of physicians.
He also discussed the recent prog
ress made in surgery by means of
which it is possible to graft one bone
onto another in much the same way
that limbs are grated on trees.
Nothing at All, the toast delivered
by Dr. Charles Hansel belied the
name assigned, as it proved to be a
collection of jingles that scored a de-
cided hit with all present.
Dr. +. Z. Eastman contributed sew
eral songs, Mrs. Gertrude Trash gave
two well-received readings and Miss
Berteling presented two piano solos.

France to interfere and take into Gus

many, which was in effect a blockade
of German ports. Sec'y Bryan pointed
out the rule of blockade that a ship
attempting to enter or leave a Ger
man port, regardless of the character
of it's cargo, might be condemned,
was not asserted. Sec'y Bryan pointed
out that while England was claiming
a right pertaining only TO a state of
blockade, it seemed that~it was the
purpose to treat "ships and cargoes as
If no blockade existed"
Action is Unprecedented.
"The two together present a pro-
posed course of action previously un-
known to international law" said the
note of inquiry to England and
France LAS a consequence" the
American note continued, "neutrals
have no standing by which to measure
their right or to avoid danger to their
ships and cargoes. The paradoxical
changed and the declaring powers
ought to assert whether they rely on
the rules governing a blockade or the
rules applicable when no blockade
exists"
The responses of England and
France explain that the allies have
adopted a modified kind of blockade
in a way intended to safeguard as
much as possible the legitimate inter
ests of neutral powers. The French
answer in particular specifies that 1.-The
old methods of blockade cannot be
entirely adhered to in view Of the use
Germany has made of her submarines.

situation of that country"
Among the correspondence made
public by Mr.. Bryan last night was

Germany Alone Willing.
Germany indicated willingness TO
consider this plan of compromise as a
temporary measure of expediency, but
England absolutely refused and insist
ed upon retaliation against what Sir
Edward Grey described as the un-
precedented methods repugnant TO all
law and morality. which Germany
began TO adopt TO the very outset of

The publication of the correspond
ence cleans the slate of diplomatic
notes and leaves the United States
confronted with the question Of
wether or not it will acquiece in the
form OF blockade announced by the
allies or make a protest. Pres't Wilson
himself has indicated that a strong
protest Will be mad and Ojcials are
