ANOTHER DIVIDEND Is
TO BE PAID DEPOsITORS

The news that another dividend Is
soon to be paid the depositors of the
Dundee Deposit Bank is gratifying
to the people of that community.
The dispatch with which the funds
are being collected and distributed
and the care taken to protect all
parties interested, is another strong
evidence, not only of the wisdom
displayed when the Banking De-
partment was established but the
efficiency of the department under
the management of the present Com
missioner, Col. T. J. Smith.
Bankers are practically a unit in
praising the administration of Col.
T. J. Smith, because of the great
in the conduct of State
Banks and consequently the in
creased confidence in the stability of
institutions. The CONNER
cial interests of Kentucky will agree
that the work of the Banking Com
missioner has so far been a great
success. and his re-appointment, we
feel certain, would meet with gen.
eral approval.

declared United States Senator
James hamilton Lewis, in an ad-
dress before the Society OF Patriots
and Founders here tonight.
The President Of the United
States has no desire to take this
course" he continued. His anxiety
is for freedom of country and liber-
ty of individual. II Mexico will give
him a chance to accomplish this in
Mexico by any other method than
that of Intervention, the President
will gladly avail himself of such op-
portunity. But IL every effort I'M
dertaken by him is to be obstructed
by those whose purpose it is to con-
tinue lawlessness and to repeat
wherever possible the assaults upon
the lives of Americans, President
in response to the demand of
his own country, will have nothing
left to do but that which President
did in Cuba.
1.-THE people Of the United States
have now reached the point where
they are ready to obey the command
Of the President calling for such &C
ton whenever he shall issue it,

VIGOROUS NOTE FRAMED
ON MAIL INTERFERENCE

Washington, May 15.-The Amer
lean Government is preparing a pro-
test characterized by officials as
very vigorous" against the inter
ference with mails to and from the
United States by Great Britain. A
note, to be sent forward in the near
future, will take the position that
the United States can no longer
countenance seizure and detention
of mails to and from the United
States, particularly those concerning
neutrals.
The reply recently received from
Great Britain to the last American
note protesting against interference
with American mails is considered
unsatisfactory. Protests have been
made to the Government by many
individuals and firms who have been
injured by the frequent long delays
to which mails between Europe and
the United States have been sub
jected.
The subject is under detailed
study at the State Department, and
President Wilson had decided to
make representation to Great Brit
ain as quickly as a note can be COM
pleted. The British Government
will be informed that the United
States considers it imperative that
her present policy be modified.

Akron, o., May 15.---At least q

ly a score injured early this even
ing when the old Beacon Journal
building, occupied by the Crystal
restaurant, collapsed as a result of
dynamite blett in an adjoining
excavation.
Seven identified and three uniden-
titled bodies have been recovered,
and two persons now missing are
thought to be in the ruins.
Battery B, of the Ohio National
Guard, was called out to aid the
police in restraining a crowd of
more than 10000 persons who pack
ed the streets at Main and Quarry,
where the accident occurred.
A tremendous roar, echoing the
screams of dying people, brought
thousands to the disaster scene, in
the heart of Akron's business dis
trict.
Instantly, the entire city, rallying
under the shock, plunged to the
work of rescue. A great pile of
ruins, broken timbers, twisted STEEL
tons of brick and mortar buried the
victims, who, a moment before, were
dining in the restaurant.
The restaurant was one-story
with a two-story false
front. The latter topping back
ward, added many tons of weight to
the falling roof. A dynamite blast
set off in an excavation for a new
building directly north of tile res
unsettled the foundation.

Almost every country newspaper
in the land is fighting the battles of
the home merchant against the mail
order houses. And this is but right
and proper-incidentally kind OF
work which The Herald has been
engaged in for many years. 1t is a
poor specimen of newspaper that
does not stand out for home indus
tries. But how is this continuous
battle appreciated by the ones most
vitality interested? A few loyal
merchants advertise continuously,
but how many of all the others ever
speak a good word to their many
customers in behalf of the home pa
per? How many out-in-country mer-
chants-who are the greatest suffer-
ers from the mail-order houses
ever solicit any business for the pa
per that fights their battles?

In closing his crop report as of
May l. Commissioner of Agriculture
Mat. S. Cohen says:
Summing up the first crop re-
port of this year the conclusion is
drawn that although spring work
has been retarded, with favorable
weather conditions after May first,
the prospects for first-class crops are
most excellent"
With conditions good or even fair,
and the demand for agricultural
products such as has been witnessed
the past year or more, the farmer
should meet with a splendid meas
ure of success in his business. Any
how he is going at it with vim and
with the evident determination of
making the best of a splendid pros
pect. ...- ...

to be a public official. Criticism is
a part of his daily portion, but I'M
less he realizes the justice of it. he
need not fear it. In fact, he should
appreciate it, for it shows his career
is being watched-that he is not a

stand against lawlessness and crime
is a prime prerequisite. The people
expect it. The public official should
be upheld by every loyal citizen in
all his efforts for general welfare.

One of Hartford's estimable citi-
zens who has long since passed
away, had a splendid piece of phi
lOsophy which he frequently put into
Practice. He was an optimist and
of a CHEEKY disposition. When ac-
costed by friend with Hello, Col
onel, how are you to-day" he
would invariably answer, "All right
feeling first-class." Explaining
this customary reply, he said that
whether always literally true or not,
it helped him to believe it himself
and, furthermore, it pleased his
friends and disconnected his enc
mics 1t also did nobody any
harm. Anyhow. it is a fine piece of
optimistic philosophy, worthy of
more adoption than is practiced.

The liquor dealers pretend to be
very much against the practice OF
overwhelming and no doubt they
are, for they are beginning to real
ize that the drunkard is the most
effective argument against their bus
mess. They are retending of late
days to be very much in favor of
temperance which in their case
means continuous drinking of liquor
without getting drunk. But out of
the millions who drink, how many
can do this? 1t is like driving a
crowd of children through a blazing
forest and expecting none OF them
to get scorched. Who can play with
fire continuously and never get
burned?

Daviess County Fiscal Court, for the
third time, turned down the bids on

Company, of Cincinnati, who offered
$3,OO1 above par for the bonds. Ru-
dolph Kleybolte, of Cincinnati, Offer

1t is the opinion of the members
OF the Fiscal Court that the Da-
viess county bonds will sell Et a
higher premium.

Killed BY Mule.

Sebree. KY, May 12.-Ben Clark,
is, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Otis Clark
of near Dixon, met a violent death
yesterday when a mule which he
had been working ran away. The
young man had unhitched the mule
for dinner, and was sitting on the
mule when his hat blew off. The
mule ran, and when the young man
fell his feet were caught in the gear
and he was dragged over the field
until the mule was caught and the
boy released. He lived only fifteen
minutes.

Munitions But Small Part.

The Republican orators are still
trying to represent that all the pros
perity is due to the munitions trade,
but there isn't a peg Of fact for
them TO hang their fictions upon.
The Department of Commerce has
just issued a statement that the ex-
port of munitions in 10 months was
s340,000,000. The total exports of
the country are more than 10 times
that in ~ months. And the ex-
ports Of a year are less than the
bank clearings of a single week, so

There are but very few peo-

Very true, every word of it. Many
OF them do not seem to appreciate
the newspapers even as much as the
sunshine, for they will comment on
the suns activities more than any
good thing they may happen to see
in their home paper. 1t is usually
only when they happen to read
som ethingwhich does not suit their
particular liking that they make any
comment, and then they will forget
every good thing that they ever saw
in the sheet in their condemnation
of that especial matter.
