SHORT RESOLUTIONS

AT the recent meeting of the De-
partment of superintendent of the
National Education Association, in
Kansas City, most unusual scene
was enacted when the Chairman of
the Committee on Resolutions, in
stead of the usual long-drawn- out
resolutions followed by lengthy de-
bates, pro and con, offered the fol-
lowing single resolution for the con-
sideration of the convention:
MET as we are, in the midst of
a great world crisis which threatens
the safety and honor of our own
country, the Department of Super
intendence of the National Educa-
ton Association, representing in its
membership all the educational sys-
TENS and interests in the United
States, does hereby solemnly and
unitedly declare its confidence in,
and loyalty to the President of the
Republic, WOODROW WILSON, in
his supreme efforts to maintain the
dignity and honor of our Nation"
AS soon as the resolution was
read, the entire assembly arose and
cheered, waving flags, hats, hand
kerchiefs, ETC., for several minutes.
When the presiding officer finally
called for a formal vote on the
resolution, his request was consider
ed signal for another outburst
which likewise lasted for several
minutes. After formal adoption,
the Chairman of the convention was
instructed to send a copy of the
resolution to President Woodrow
Wilson, by wire.
We are indebted to Prof. w. O.
Hopper, who attended the meeting,
for the copy of resolutions.

PROPERTY SELLS CHEAP

At the public sale of the brick
residence known as the Johnson

The property was first offered sep

$2255, and the three lots, SIS, $75
and $65 respectively. The property
was then offered as a whole and
was bid as whole to $3.50, and
sold to n. H. Trimble. The proper

WILSON AGAIN
TAKES OATH
President Sworn in at Noon Sunday
BY Chief Justice White, of
Supreme Court.

President Woodrow Wilson for
the second time was sworn in as
President of the United States Sun
day at noon, the oath being admin
stered by Chief Justice White, Of
the Supreme Court. AS there might
be some question as to the validity
of taking the oath on Sunday it was
again administered to him Monday.
The ceremony was attended by only
his official family but on Monday he
was inaugurated with great public
ceremonies rejecting national ex-
preston of Americanism.
After he had repeated solemnly
the oath taken first by Washington
century and a quarter ago, he
kissed the Bible at the massage.
"The Lord is our refuge, very
present help in time of trouble"
Vice President Marshall did not
take the oath Sunday but was sworn
in Monday at the special session of
the new Senate with the usual vice
presidential Inauguration ceremony.

Managers of Three Houses as
Last Sales Day.

As practically all the tobacco in
this section has been sold the man
ayers of the three loose leaf houses
in this city met last week and agreed
to close in tn, city Wednesday,
March 14th. Auctioneer Bray has
already left for his home in North

million pounds has been sold on the

looks like an increased acreage will
be planted owing to the satisfactory
prices that have been received this
year. 1t was reported that the
houses would close this week but
owing to weather conditions the
closing date was set for Wednes-
day, March 14th.

FISCAL COURT Proceedings

At today's meeting of the Fiscal
Court, other than allowing claims
and similar routine work, partial
settlement with the Sheriff was
made and the Clerk objected to add
vertise for bids for state-aid work
on the Levee and Paris turnpikes

the farms of Judge w. 0. Chenault,
Frank Lockridge, A. M. Bourne and
others, and intersecting the Spencer

zens along the route to pay the bal
ance by private subscription.

MUCH LAND LEASED

Oil operators and spectators are
leasing land in this county and it is
thought that as soon as the weather
will permit test wells will be put
down in several sections. A. A. AL

the concern that has been operating
in Menefee and Bath counties, has
leased a large body of land as has
also other large operators. County

FILIBUSTER
SUCCESSFUL
Will of Overwhelming Majority Is
Ignored by LaFoIlette and Stone
Followers.

"a little group of wilful men,"
says the President in his statement
representing no opinion but their
own, have rendered the great gov
eminent of the United States help
less and contemplate" The Pres
ident's statement in full follows:
s'The termination of the last ses-
sion of the Sixty fourth Congress
by constitutional limitations dis
closes situation unparalleled in
the history of any modern govern
ment. In the immediate presence of
crisis, fraught with more subtle
and preaching possibilities of ma
tional danger than any other the
country has known within the whole
history of its international rela-
tons, the Congress has been unable
to act either to safeguard the
country or to vindicate the elemen-
tary rights Of its citizens. Mere
than 500 of the 531 members of
the two Houses were ready and
anxious to act; the House of Rep
resentatives had acted, by an over
whelming majority; but the Senate
was unable to act because little
group of eleven Senators had de-
termined that it should not.
"The Senate has no rules by
which debate can be limited or
brought to an end, no rules by
which dilatory tactics of any kind
can be prevented. A single member
can stand in the way of action if he
have but the physical endurance.
The result in tbs case complete
paralysis alike of the legislative and
executive branches of the govern
ment. This inability of the Senate
to act has rendered some of the
most necessary legislation of the
session impossible at time when
the need for it was most pressing
and most evident.

"THE LION AND THE MOUSE"

On next Wednesday, March 14th,
"The Strollerss" the Dramatic Club
of the University of Kentucky, will
present "The Lion and the Mouse"
at the Tabb Theatre. The Strollers
will be remembered for the delight
full comedy, "Charley's Aunt" which
they gave here two years ago, and
their present show promises to be
the best given by the Club since its
organization nine years ago.
The performance will be under
the auspices of the local High
School and the proceeds will go for
the benefit of the School Library.
The leading female role is played
by Miss Mamie Miller Woods, who
is well known here, while one of the
best male parts is taken care of by
Gus Gay, who is known to many
Mt. Sterling people.
The prices here will be %, 35, and
so cents.
Sundays Lexington Herald car
ried the following in regard to the
coming performance at the Lexing-
ton Opera House, March 10th.
"The Strollers in the past seven
years have made themselves a rep
utation that seldom comes to an
amateur organization. Their plays
have been of the highest type and
have been presented in a manner
that would do credit ito profession
ais.
"The story of the play concerns
the attempt of John Burkett Ryder,
the "Lion," to impeach and dishonor
Judge Rossmore and the efforts of
the jurist's daughter, Shirley, the
"MMousc," TO save her father. The
girl secures a position as secretary
to Ryder and secures papers that
help to prove her fathers innocence
When he discovers that she has de-
ceived him a terrific scene ensues
and Shirley defes him to do his
worst. Ryder, won by her independ-
ence, uses his influence with the
United States Senate and has the
impeachment proceedings stopped
Through the play runs the love
story of jefferson Ryder, the son of
the 'Lion," and Shirley, and this of
course ends happily.
The role of John Ryder will be
entrusted to Emery Frazier, who
had the lead in last years Stroller
play, and Shirley Rossmore and
Jefferson Ryder will be played by
Miss Mamie Miller Woods and Au-
gustus Gay, both of Lexington"

wT 10 questionable whether there is
anything TO be gained in occupying
~ for any length Of time so large a
territory as the United States. The
fact that one or two OF her provinces
were occupied by invaders would not
alone move the Americans to sue for
peace. To accomplish this end the in
vaders would have to inflict real mate
rial damage by injuring the whole coun-
try through the successful seizure of
many of the Atlantic seaports in which
the threads OF the entire wealth Of the

1t should be so managed that a line

we would be in a position to seize with
in a short time many of these import

Their excellently developed railways

various recognized landing places on
the coast. But there are many other

BILE for the invading corps to conduct
its operations on these points with the
