JAKE ORDER
One Of ''FerreIl's Boys" Now
a State Official.

Prof. Jacob Crider, specialist in
markets of the Kentucky Experiment
Station, has returned from Cincinnati,
where he was one of the arbitrator in
the boycott which has been in effect
for several months between the dairy
men and the Cincinnati distributors.
The farmers and dairymen, many of
whom operate in Kentucky, demand
ed higher price for their milk which
was refused by the distributors and
the supply shut off. The Cincinnati
consumers have since been buying
milk and cream from remote points
in an effort 10 break the boycott, but
the settlement as reported by Prof.
Crider is complete victory for the
farmers. Lexington Leader.

The defendant made the same de-
Tense he made at the examining trial,

proper relations with his wife, from

went to the house and found them to
gether in compromising attitude.
He said when he went in Caldwell
grabbed pistol from dresser and
shot twice, and that he then fired, in.
f1icting the wound that caused his
death.
Mrs. Lucas was not put upon the
stand, though she was seated outside
the bar.
4 Arecess was taken soon after
O'Clock to allow Judge Reed to pre-
pare the instructions and the argu
ment was begun about 8 o'clock
Each side was allowed As minutes.

Report European Neutral
Might Offer Mediation Ex-
pected By Officials.
FOSTERED BY GERMANY
Plans For Meeting U-boat
Menace Not Affected Pres
ident Directing.

Washington, March 23.-Word that
a European-neutral might offer medi-
alton to prevent open war between
the United States and Germany has
come to the administration without
causing surprise or in any way af-
fecting the governments plans for
meeting the situation forced by sub
marine ruthlessness.
Such a proposal is regarded here as
nothing more than another scheme
fostered by Germany with the hope Of
confusing the issue and possibly d.
viding sentiment in this country while
the destruction of American lives and
ships on the high seas continue.
MOVE NOT UNEXPECTED.
AT the state department official:
would neither deny or affirm that the
government already had been ap
preached on this subject, although i
was admitted informally that some
such movement was not unexpected
1t was stated that no suggestion O
mediation or discussion would bl
considered unless il was accompanies
by abandonment of illegal assault
upon American shipping, course I
which there is no reason for belle,
ing the imperial government is givin
| a thought.
| ALL ALTERNATIVE EXHAUSTED
| The feeling in all quarters here j
that the United States has with infinit
patience and forbearance done every
thing possible with honor to avoid tn
virtual state of war now existin,
| through German aggression. So Ion!
as this aggression continues, official
say there is nothing to be done bu
adopt measures of defense, and n
basis exists for discussion.

\ There are rumblings in Germany.
Phillip Scheidemann, the socialist
leader, in published address openly
accuses the chancellor with denying
reforms to Prussia that must come.
1--WE have always answered by re-
\ ferring to the absolutism of Russia,
! ut now czarism has gone and the
empefor's successor is to accept the
thro9e only if the representatives Of
the People agree. These representa-
tives are to be elected on the basis of
universal, equal, direct and secret
suffrage. In Asia the empire of the
Mandarins opposed every reform.
IT ~ desired an emperor with abso-
Ins power, as long as he did their
s,iIl, and thereby undermined the
II anarchy and laid the foundation OF a
frpublic. In the European central
npire similar spirits seek to build
similar Chinese walls and hinder .ev-
cry reform. The clock shows five
minutes to twelve. They imagine
they hold up the time when they move
back the hands to eleven. Why does
the chancellor shrink back now from
unconditional necessity? Always the
LEGISLATOR, the procrastinator, Beth
mann-Hollweg wants to begin to cure
Prussia after the war. Russia also
promises all reforms after the war,
but the war lasted too long for the
Russians. Why postpone till tomor'
row what is absolutely necessary to
day, what even the king himself de-
clared years ago was one OF the mos
urgent matters Of the business OF the
I state? Now is the time for decisive
\ action. The difficulties which might
irise if the government adopts the
reichstag system of elections, for Prus'
sian elections are as featherweigh1
las compared with the difficulties
which will come if it does not do this
The chancellor should not delay one
lay."

ond of the Tax Commissions triology
of recommended bills and the second
chapter in the story Of modern tax
system for Kentucky is closed. The
Gardner bill, separating property into
classes and fixing different rates fol
different classes, entirely revolution
ICES the general property system o
taxation now in effect.
During the final rollcall on passag'

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
A Left-Handed Witness.

A coloreC witness in circuit court
held up his left hand while taking the
oath before special Judge Reed.
Judge Reed was not noticing closely
and after the witness sat down, some
one whispered to Judge Bush, the
regular Judge, who sat in the bar,
calling attention to the informality.
"Ohl let il go, replied the Judge.

the liquor interests are particularly
active in trying to keep the town
wet, and the Christian people are
enthusiastic about putting the saloons
and attendant evils out of business.
The campaign there is red.hot one.

to prepare for the coming party and
to get the tabernacle in good shape
