ECLIPSES IN 1917

During the year about to begin,
1917, there will be seven eclipses.
four of the sun and three of the
moon. Of this number, though only
two will be visible in North America
The first astronomical phenomenon
will be the total eclipse of the moon
on January Z and 8. This will be Wis
ible generally in North America. On
the 23rd of January there will be a
partial eclipse CT the sun, however,
not visible to North America. On
June the 10Th, another partial eclipse
of the sun will be invisible to North
America. However, a total eclipse of
the moon will occur on July A, but
will in no way interfere with the In
dependence celebration, as it will
not be visible to this country. Again,
the latter part of July will bring an
other partial eclipse of the sun, which
will be visible neither in North or
South America. America will also
miss the SIMS eclipse Oh December
14th. Three days after Christmas,
1917, nearly the whole of North
America will witness the total eclipse
of the moon.

A BOOB STATE"

California is still bristling with
indignation over an attack made on
that state for the part it played in
the election. The Chicago Tribune
was an ardent Hughes supporter.
| When it became evident that Cali
fornia, by it's vote had changed an
apparent Hughes victory into defeat,
The Tribune gave vent to its emotions
in wrathful editorial in which it
remarked:
"By giving Wilson the vote it did,
California, with its record and Will
sons record, presented itself as the
champion boob state of the Ameri-
can republic"
The result is what might have been
expected. If there is state in the
union that is proud and sensitive, it is
California. Nearly every paper in the
state took occasion to inquire indig-
nantly, care We Bobs?" and to ex-
press its opinion of the self-styled
"World's Greatest Newspaper" in ap-
propriate terms.
Republican papers joined with their
Democratic contemporaries in resent
ing the imputation. Many of them de-
clared that, while they disagreed with
the verdict of the majority necessari-
ly a bunch of boobs." They pointed
out that American freedom is built
on acquiscence in the verdict of the
majority-that majority vote be-
comes the voice of the people, and is
therefore entitled to respect. They
condemned the Tribune as "bad
loser"
And they were right. Regardless of
the issues at stake, it's silly for any
man or newspaper to act the poor
sportman when an election is lost, or
vent disappointment in abusing peo-
pie of other minds. Every citizen has
right to vote according to the die
tates of his own conscience. So has
every city and every state. And
speaking broadly, every conscienti-
Gus vote is right. Moreove, when an
elections over, it's over. Every good
American conducts himself according
ly.-Owensboro Messenger.

banks for taxation.
1t reduces the tax on whisky to
40 cents on the hundred dollars of
taxable property and relieves it of all
other taxation. Whisky is now as
sessed at from ten to twelve dollars
per barrel, as basis of taxation; un .
der the new law each barrel would
be taxed about ten cents or less, and
this rate cannot be raised, even if
there is a deficiency in the State rev.

Both these changes in the taxing
laws mean a huge deficit in the state

more of the proposed new TAX law
than quite a number oe other coun-
