FOUND STARVING IN
GULF LIGHTHOUSE

New York, Jan. 3.-Two, men,
two women and three children, all
starving, who had been without food
except for a few small fish for 10
days and the body of woman, vic
tim of starvation. were found at Tri-
angle Lighthouse, near the Yucatan
coast in the Gulf of Mexico, on De-
cember 30. by officers of the steam
ship Mexico, which arrived here to-
day from Mexican ports. The oc-
cupants of the lighthouse, according
to the ships officers had not been
visited by supply ship for more
than four months.
Distress signals from the light
house, reading 1--WE are starving"
attracted the attention Of the Mexico,
A boats crew and the ships surgeon
were sent to the lighthouse, with pro-
visions sufficient to last week. The
Mexico reported the incident to the
authorities at Progreso.

GOVERNOR STANLEY
AND THE SHERIFFS

Gov. Stanley's recommendation to
take away from the Sheriffs of the
State the fee for carrying convicts
to the penitentiaries and have the
prison guards come for them does
does not strike us with favor. The
fees for this purpose does not amount
to half as much as the Governor es-
Inmates them, Judging by Hardin
county. The Sheriff of the county
does a great deal Of work in the dis
charge of his duty which is very
hazardous, and for which he receives
very little compensation. 1t has
been but little more than year
since the Sheriff of Hardin county
gave up his life in the discharge of
his duty. In many counties of the
State the Office hardly pays sufficient
to secure the services of good man
and in cutting off the fees for carry
ing prisoners to the penitentiaries
take away from the Office one of the
few easy things the Sheriff has to do
for which he receives good pay. We
certainly think he is entitled to this
in consideration of the many duties
which are imposed on him for which
he receives practically nothing. The
News is certainly in favor of econ
omy, but in the State Institutions
and in the Frankfort Offices there
is a much better field to begin the
work than in the Sheriff Office, where
faithful official earns every dollar
that he ts.-Elizabethtown News.

THE REPUBLICAN TO CONTINUE.

While upon divers occasions in
the past it has fallen to us as asso-
ciate editor, to fill this column, the
task was never taken up with the
feeling of. reluctance and incompe-
tency that now prevails. This space
belonged to our father. He took
pleasure and delight in filling it. But
now the duty is passed. The pass
ing was marked by beautiful tri-
butte, written by competitor in
business but staunch personal
friend. 1t now falls to us to con-
tinue the newspaper work of our
father for the present. We assume
the duty gravely realizing full well
the magnitude of the task. But with
your patience we hope to satisfy and
with your support we expect to see
the old sheet travel on and on, pro-
PEELED by the spirit of progress and
leaving the trail of things-once-mod-
ern behind, as was his desire. We
hope to lose not one of his friends
for the charms of other charming
things fade away when compared to
the charms of friendship.

NATION SWEPT BY INFLUENZA
GREATEST EPIDEMIC OF TIME

Washington, Jan. 3.-InfluenZa is
spreading over the United States
from coast to coast in the most SER
ious epidemic ever known, taking a
large toll in lives and causing econ
omic loss by incapacitating workers
in all walks of life. Reports from
Public Health Service officers made
public tonight by Surgeon General
Blue show that already the disease
has created "a grave problem for
many of the larger cities and is
spreading to the rural communi-
ties.
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Cleve-
land and Detroit reported the dis
ease widely prevalent. Cleveland and
Detroit each have probably 100000
cases. OF the larger cities Buffalo,
Pittsburg, Baltimore, San Diego,
Dallas and Mobile reported no signs
of an epidemic.
There is practically nothing the
Federal Government can do toward
aiding in suppression of the epidemic
1t must be dealt with by local au-
thorities, and they, in turn, it is ex-
planned, are almost helpless without
cooperation from the public. Sur
geon General Blue said tonight he
had called for reports from all parts
of the country with the hope that
publicity would tend to stimulate
this cooperation.
Statistics on influenza are diff
cult to obtain, because the disease is
not classed as "reportable" in many
cities. Consequently most of the
public health officers were obliged
to send information based to some
extent on their personal observa-
tions.

EMPEROR SUFFERING
OF CANCER OF THE THROAT

Paris, Jan. 4.-The Matin affirms,
Notwithstanding denials, that the
German Emperor is suffering from
cancer of the throat and is no longer
able to speak.
"In February, 1911" according to
the Matin, "the doctors were consid-
ering whether it was necessary to
remove the entire larynx in order to
stay the progress of the disease. They
raised the question as to whether
the Emperor would be able to speak
IL such an operation were perform
ed. 1t was learned that an eminent
surgeon of Paris had, with an artifi-
cial larynx and a breathing tube OPP
ening into the trachea, restored the
power of speech to cancerous patients
who had undergone total ablation Of
the affected organs.
This doctor, whose name the Ma
tin withbolds for reasons Of profess
sional etiquette, was asked to go to
Berlin by the German Ambassador.
He was offered 100000 francs and
all his expenses and was requested
to bring with him a patient who had
been fitted with the apparatus, so
that the Emperor himself might see
if he was able to speak.
Meanwhile, as the result of mi
nor operation with bistoury and a
few weeks absolute rest, the Emper-
or's condition improved, as is often
the case in this disease, the progress
of which is implacable, but slow. 1t
is another operation of this kind
which has just been performed. But
it is only palliative. The German
Emperor must either make up his
mind to complete removal Of the
larynx, or be stifled by the growth.
"This explains why the Emperor
went neither to Warsaw, CONSTANT
nople nor Brussels"

I Elsewhere in this issue is an an
nouncement of a meeting of the Ohio
County Good Roads Association to
be held at Beaver Dam, Saturday,
January s. The Association is wind
ing up its business of the old year
and complete report of the pro-
gress of the organization will be
made at that time. This Association,
though yet in it's infancy has done
much toward the betterment of our
county roads and it should have the
cooperation of farmer, merchant and
professional men alike.
Ohio county's one great drawback
is the inaocessibility to a ready mar
ket. The first step toward reach
ing a market is the county road.
Our shipping facilities might be of
the best; our local merchants might
be in need and clamoring for the
produce of the farmer yet with the
road over which the latter must
haul his products impossible neither
the farmer nor the merchant can
realize The profit he deserves. No
doubt the time required to reach a
local market is doubled in many
cases on account of bad roads. OF
course this means double the ex-
pense of marketing and a good slice
of the profit. Many Ohio county
farmers would use trucks, but auto
trucks, with the roads in their pres
emit condition, could be used only a
few weeks in the year, and very lit
tie at market time.
OF course we are going to have
good roads. We've agreed to that
long ago. But when? We are los
ing money by putting it off. Ohio
county has some of the best farm
lands in the whole United States. We
have a farm demonstrator and he's
lining us up. Now give us good
roads (the market will GOMEZ and
watch us boom.
To say the least we can do no
harm by attending this meeting. The
officers of this Association are doing
good work and for their labors they
receive no financial recompense.
Let's go to Beaver Dam Saturday
and hear these reports. Something
good is likely to result.

Immediately after Austria had
met the demands of this country in
regard to the sinking of the Ancona
news was received Of like fate to
the British liner, Persia, with loss of
American life. Altho the national
ity of the submarine has not been
fully established it is thought to be
Austrian. We are therefore In
strained diplomatic relations again.
The patience of the American people
is sorely tried and strong pressure
will be brought to bear upon the ad-
ministration for prompt action in
this case. II seems that in this great
European struggle National honor
has been tossed to the winds.

NOMINEE HUGHES IS
NOW IN NEW JERSEY
! Is About Worn 0ut---0pens
Campaign in New York
Tonight
BY erry Arnold.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Trenton, N. j., Sept. 2s.-Nominee
Hughes made his first appearance in
New Jersey as the republican candidate
here today--in the state capital which
gave to fame his opponent in the presi-
Dental sweepstakes, Woodrow Wilson,
The days program for the G. o. P.
leader contemplated a speech in the
town where Wilson formerly ruled as
governor-and rest for the remainder
of the day. Hughes needs the rest.
He was nearly worn out by yesterdays
program; his voice was husky and worn
out and his face was lined with fatigue.
Pittsburg's coal dust was still in his
vocal chords, despite efforts by DR.. L.
Alexander, Jr., to spray it out
But if Hughes tired out it didn't
show in his speech here today. The
crowd that greeted him stimulated and
revived him. DR.. Alexander said to-
day he had never known another man
who responded to purely mental effort,
which Hughes does. The nominee is i'm
patient of physicians treatment and
supremely confident of his own ability
to withstand every effort-and this
makes Mrs. Hughes efforts to have him
save himself almost futile. Mrs. Hughes,
however, did get him to promise that
he would sleep most of the afternoon.
Tonight the candidate was due to ad-
dress the New York state republican
conference at Saratoga and in this
speech he planned to make "keynote'
address for the Empire state campaign.
In his address the former governor of
New York expected to go over his en-
tire program of criticism of the Wilson
administration.
