~. The members of the court by this
action have shown their unselfish-
ness, their willingness to step aside
for what they believe to be the good
OF their people. They are good fell
lows, these magistrates and Ohio
county appreciates their good judg-
ment in stepping aside for better
financiers. The Henderson Fiscal
Court refused to elect commission,
consequently the petition for the
bond election was withdrawn. The
petition would not have been with
drawn in Ohio county had our fiscal
court refused this commission, but
as It is the chances loom brighter for
the bond issue to carry. The COM
mission as appointed by the court is
heartily approved by the writer.

OHIO COUNTY's COMM.

County Farm Demonstration Brow
der is heading a movement to or
ganize a progressive club for Ohio
county, whoopee! Something we
have needed for, 10, these many years
and every business man, every man
engaged in any kind of profession.
and in fact every citizen should rally
to the colors. Paupers in theory,
rich in reality, we should develop
our splendid resources.
The idea is to organize club in
every town and rural district in the
county and for these various clubs
to constitute the progressive club of
Ohio county the purpose of which will
be to pull, boost and shove our inter-
ests. II will help the farmer to get
better prices for his produce; it will
help the deserving merchant; 1t will
strive to establish closer relation
between those living in the rural dis
tricts and, the man who makes his
home in the town. 1t is proposed
to conduct a ladies waiting room in
the county seat, a place for the wife

we spring from our palate and join

Notice to Members of Co. H.

The members of Co. III. are direct
ed to report at the armory for drill
on Saturday April 1st at 2 p. m. and
again in the evening at 1880. New
equipment for indoor rife practice
has arrived and after each of these
drills members will be allowed to
shoot for qualification on the indoor
range.
A few vacancies now occur upon
the roster of the company and it is
desired that new recruits enlisting
should have the necessary service re-
quired previous to encampment to
entitle them to Federal pay.
A pay bill which will authorize pay
for members who attend drills in the
future is practically sure to pass
Congress during the next 80 days
and in view of this fact new recruits
are preferred among parties who re-
side near enough to Hartford to at
tend regularly.

Shot From Ambush.

Ashland, KY, March 2S.-As
James Collins and daughter, Mrs.
Mae Branham, of near Cannonsburg,
were returning home from Cattletts-
burg late yesterday evening, where
they had been to see about divorce,
which Mrs. Branham had filed, they
were shot, each two times, with a
shotgun from an ambush.
Collins was shot in the face and
leg, and his daughter in the back and
leg. Neither will die. The fact that
the top of the buggy, in which they
were riding, was all that saved their
lives. The authorities are seeking a
man whom they suspect, but so far
have failed to find any trace of him.

FRENCH COURT-MARTIAL.
Officer Says Majority of Offenders Be-
long to the Higher Class.

London, March 25.-The veil of
secrecy is nowhere deeper than over
the doings of the court-martial. In
one division of the French army 1t is
known that since the beginning Of
the war the court-martial has dealt
with 315 cases. 1t has passed the
death sentence on "a men, of whom,
however, only Is were executed, the
other nine obtaining pardons or
combinations.
An officer attached to this divis-
ion as a permanent court official has
given to correspondent of the Daily
Mail some details of the workings Of
the tribunal. you must remem-
ber," he said, shat armies to-day are
made up of men of all shades and col
ors of belief and creed, anarchists,
republicans, royalists, atheists and
what not. Out of this material we
have welded together an army the
like of which the world has never
seen.
1T is not, however, the bad eggs,
of whom there are few in every
regiment, who give us trouble in the
matter of desertion in the face Of the
enemy, but rather the better sort of
fellows, who cannot understand the
military necessity of harsh discip-
line.
"Our first court-martial in a case
of this kind occurred fairly early in
the war. We were new to the bus
mess ourselves, but II was fragrant
breach, and to check its repetition IT
had to be dealt with accordingly to
the rules of war. The man was duly
tried and sentenced. l went to his
cell and read the death sentence to
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1916-03-31

him. He listened without seeming
to understand what had taken place
and that he was condemned to die.
"That night instructed an officer
to call for firing squad. Our firing
squads are always composed of volun-
teers, IL men. Not man volun-
unteered for that task. We had to
commander a squad. The prisoner
was marched out at dawn, stood quiet
ly facing the leveled rifles and died
without faltering. I am sure he new
er realized the gravity of his offense.
But war is war.
Nov 1t is different. The men
know the value of discipline, know
that breach may endanger the lives
of many comrades or even the safety
of France, and though breaches of
this kind still occur, they are met in
a different spirit. Now when I call
for firing squad SO men at once
volunteer"
"Is the family notified that man
has been executed?" asked the inter-
viewer.
Eyes and no." the officer replied.
1.-THE French code is peculiar. Noti-
fication of death is sent to the family
soon after the execution as though
the man died in action. Then three
months later the family receives
bill for 1855 francs (s2.5O), the ex-
penses of the execution. But other
wise there is no publicity. The grave
is not marked officially, but record
is kept, so that 1t will not be difficult
to later on.
Occasionally we have to deal with
the case of a man who has become
sick of the trenches and think that
the easiest way to get an honorable
discharge is to wound himself, shoot
off his trigger finger or the like.
This is a capital offense in time of
war and is invariably so punished.
"A recent case of this kind was
that of young lieutenant who was
married three days before the out
break of the war. He was a gallant
soldier, but after few months he
became homesick, and to get back
to his wife was his one desire. Months
passed and he could not get leave, so
he took matters in his own hands and
drove bullet through his left fore
arm. He did not stop to think that
it would soon be discovered that his
wound was caused by French bull
let.
"He was court-martialed and SEN
fenced to be shot. I read the death
sentence, but few hours later a par
don reached us. But the lieutenant
knew his duty and fell fighting in the
field without ever seeing his wife
again"

that two of the closest political
friends of the Governor and two men
appointed to responsible positions at
Frankfort we're hired lobbyists to
nut a measure through the Legisla-
ture.
We are not proud of the Pike
county probe in the face OF the fact
of the persistent reports that there
IL in existence a signed paper in
which there was a money considera-
ton for a campaign fund in exchange
for the creation of a new county. !
We are not proud of a reported
deal between a Democratic admins
tration and Republican members Of
the Legislature which had for its pur-
pose the passage of certain bills and
the defeat OF certain others.
Elected as the avowed champions
of the county unit law, we are not
proud of the fact that the Rules COM
mittee of the House was picked from
the "wettest" members, and that the
bill to limit the shipment Of liquor
into dry territory, aimed entirely
against bootlegging, was smothered
in that committee after fifty-three
members Of the House had petitioned
for its report for passage.
We are not proud Of the fact that
of nineteen bills to aid in the enforce
ment of the county unit law only one
was passed.
We are not proud of the fact that
all the disgraceful proceedings of the
Legislature grew out of the wet for
ces attempting to stifie and thwart
the will of the majority.
We are not proud of the fact that
the pledges of the Governor to abolish
all useless offices resulted in the abo-
lishment of none, but the unnecessary
creation of several.
We are not proud of the fact that
a most thorough investigation was
going to reveal the grossest extrava-
gance, and that the only report made
was against the Illiteracy Commission
and that this report was absolutely
unfounded in fact, especially against
Mrs. Stewart.
We are not proud Of the fact that
instead of the promised county unit
rule we have absolute liquor do
mination.
We are not proud of the fact that
with a 100000 deficit and an an
nuaI shortage of 100000 to meet
expenses the Legislature did nothing
to relieve it.
We are not proud of that reduction
of 81, 900 majority to 800 majority,
and we are Inundated when we think
of what may happen in Kentucky this
fall if the party organization remains
under the domination of the interests
which now control it.

VILLA PURSUIT
CONGRESS BUSHES EMERGENCY
APPROPRIATION THROUGH TO
FINANCE CHASE.
WANT USE OF ROADS
Feared That Failure OF Carranza To
Grant Permission To Use Rail-
roads May Hamper Plans.

Washington, March 2s.-Diploma-
tic and domestic aspects of the Mex
lean problem overshadowed its mill
tary side here tonight. Official re-
ports from Gen, Funston disclosed no
change in the situation on the border
or in Mexico. Congress rushed thro-
ugh an emergency appropriation of
sS,611,502 to pay for the pursuit OF
the bandits and the State Department
prepared to press Gen. Carranza for
permission to use Mexican railways
to solve the troop supply problem.
Fears expressed in press reports
from the borderthat failure to obtain
use of the railroads might seriously
hamper the pursuit Of Villa were not
reflected at either the State or War
departments. Senator Gallinger, Re-
publican leader in the Senate, pre-
scented to Secretary Baker a telegram
from Senator Fall at Ell Paso dealing
with the railway and border ques-
tions. 1t declared shipments of gaso-
line intended for the American forces
in Mexico were being held up by Car
rama officials.
Growing Good VIII.
The departments dispatches of last
night and to-day, while mcagcr, and
dealing with technical matters, in
dictate continued and growing good
will toward our expedition in Mex
leo, Secretary Baker said later in a
statement. cts object appears to
be thoroughly understood by the peo-
pie of Mexico. We have no dispatch
es indicating any cause for apprehen-
sion."
The communication to Gen. Car
rama will be made through Special
Representative Rodgers at Queretaro,
to whom instructions went forward
tonight. State Department officials
said that 1t seemed necessary to i'm
press upon the de facto government
the need for special consideration of
the request to use the lines south
from the border without awaiting the
perfecting of the protocol under ne
gotiation. While there was no ques-
ton but that the expedition after
Villa would press on, it was stated.
that while sufficient amount Of sup
plies could be furnished to the troops
by motor truck trains, general use of
the lines would greatly simplify mat
tiers.
News dispatches from the border
tonight indicating that the American
troops already were using the rail-
road lines in some sections were read
with surprise at the War Department
officials declaring there had been no
official advices to that effect. 1t was
thought that If American comman-
ders had used the lines in some cases
on their own initiative it probably
was done in cooperation with the
local Carranza authorities. officials
do not think any extensive use of
railroads has been made.

SPORTS AND SHORTS.
(By Gosh.)


Jesse Willard proved beyond a
doubt that he is the best man in his
class when he defeated Frank Moran
in New York Saturday night. The
big cowboy seems to be a real cham
pion and the man who can make il
interesting for him is yet to be dis
covered.
We lamped certain young preach
er going down the street the other
day between two Of the hardest bats
around these parts. II is two TO
one shot that that preacher will
preach on the "Crusifxion," in the
near future.
Dawson Springs and jacksonville
are making efforts to get in the Kit
ty League this year. II shows a pro-
gressive spirit on the part of those
towns and with them in 1t the circuit
would be more compact, thereby cut
ting expenses substantially.
The West Kentucky Seminary bas-
ket ball team will hook up with the
champion Mi-Mo-Mus team of Louis
vile at Beaver Dam Saturday night
and one of the swiftest games ever
staged in Ohio county is certain to
result. The Louisville team has not
tasted defeat in the last two seasons
and they will come to Beaver Dam
with the same lineup that has made
this splendid record. The w. X. s.
bunch is without a doubt one of the
fastest in Western Kentucky. They.
too, are undefeated this season and
will put forth every effort to soil the
clean slate of the Falls City aggre-
cation. The management of the
Beaver Dam quintet has gone to an
enormous expense to secure splendid
opposition and lovers of basket ball
in this locality should appreciate
their opportunity.
