On December 2Sth Louisville edi.
tor stood in the rear Of the room where
the Kentucky Press Association was
in session. Announcement was made
that plates of Mr. Bryan's prohibition
speech of the evening previous would
be furnished to papers desiring to pub
lish it, This man grunted out vicious
protest and in an undertone began &c
curse the dry people, calling them
damned hypocrites, etc. Several news
paper men near him heard what he
said and some Of them showed their
resentment. The writer was one OF
these. The Louisville man was strick-
en- with paralysis few days later and
in two weeks after the occurrence re-
ferred to he was in his grave. We have
been wondering whether he would have
had the fool-hardiness to take such a
vehement stand for the worlds great

so near the Judgment.

MORE BENs HERE.

No one will ask why man Like Ber
| Welsh of Kentucky, made good. Ben
according to the Carrollton Democrat
with the help OF one man this year, rar
ten dairy cows, housed 11,256 sticks Of
tobacco, raised over 100 hogs and cut
sky acres of hay. We never saw the
outside of Bens house, but we car
guess what the inside looked like this
Christmas. We never saw Ben, but we
would be willing to bet that the bank
er smiles every time he sees him. We
don't know II Ben has any children
but we know that IL he has they will
get college education.
Ben made good because he was the
kind of man who tried to see how much
he could do, not how little. He Is the
kind of man who, when he heard some
thing new, didn't condemn II offhand
but said he'd give 1t a try. Suppose, for
instance, there had been cattle tick In
Kentucky and scientist told him that
II COW had to turn her food into blood
to feed ticks she would have that much
less to convert into milk to sell. Ben
would have slapped his thigh and said:
"By George! It's so! I'll get rid OF those
ticksl"
And II Ben had been raising razor
backs and scrub cattle and another
scientist came along and told him that
fine hogs and fine cattle could be rails
ed cheaper than no-accounts and sold
higher. Ben would have listened care
fully; he might not have believed ev-
erything the book farmer said, but he
would have tried out the theories and
convinced himself. instead of saying
1T can't be done"
Finally Ben worked because he loved
to work. II it rained he didn't mention
rheumatism. II 1t was bright he didn't
fear sunstroke. II 1t was cold he didn't
hug the fire and talk about pneumonia
Ben worked all the time. as hard as
he could; because he loved to work, be-
cause he believed in his Land and him
self, because he wanted to succeed.

of J. o. Cole the senior partner in the
firm which thus prepares for dissolu-
4 ton. Mr. Kohlsaat, who. by the way is
la former resident of Huntington, is a
lson- in-l law OF Capt Clinton Crane. the
junior partner. Mr., Campbell, the
third trustee. is well known Hunting
ton attorney and business man.
The firm OF Cole & Crane first estab-
lished mills at Cincinnati about 1880,
or perhaps few years prior thereto.
As early as 1880 they began buying
timber in the Guyandotte and Big San
dy valleys and conveying it to Cincin-
natl by water. In those days much OF
it was brought out in RATS from Lo-
gan county and loose timber which was
brought by sudden runs was RATED at
Guyandotte.
In 1908 on whereabouts Cole & Crane
began to invest directly in West Vir-
GINA lands. They bought tremendous
acreages in Logan county and began
drifting timber on a large scale. Piers
were built in the Guyandotte river a
mile or so from the mouth and booms
established there .nto which thousands
of logs were drifted every year-some
years there were hundreds Of thou
sands. The logs were RATED at the
booms and towed to the mills at Gin
cinnati by the. Cole & Crane boats.
The $4,000 acres OF standing timber
are in Boone county and a railroad ex-
tension, branch OF the Coal River d.
vision, which is soon TO be completed
on Pond Fork, will bring the trains to
the edge OF this timber, a point ten
miles from Madison, or to the mouth OF
West Fork. Cole & Crane will also
build three or four miles on the West
Fork and will ultimately extend either
a tram or steam road about twelve
miles up Pond creek.
Both partners are now advanced in
years. Mr.. Cole being very old. Mr..
Crane is now less active than in re-
cent years.

While the board was in session a
telephone message was received from
Patrick S. Mcmahon, proprietor Of
Keeney's theater, asking that Super
numerary Policeman Dennis O'Keefe,
formerly janitor at police headquar-
tiers, be stationed permanently at tho
theater for afternoon and night duty.
Supernumerary Policeman Harry
Mount has been assigned to this thea
ter for a long time. Mcmahon gave
little explanation OF the desired change
excepting that it would be agreeable
to him. Informally, the request was
approved but will come up at the reg
ular meeting for definite action.

MILITARY MEASURE
HEARING ON TODAY
Legislative Committee Discusses
Preparedness in Connecticut

Hartford. Feb. 7-Chairmar
Brooks, of the military committee,
has called an all-important meeting
of. the comittee for this afternoon to
discuss his military bill introduced
into the senate few weeks ago. The
possibility of military activities and
the action taken by the governor in
regard to taking a military census Of
the state have prompted the chair
man of this committee, which will
prove to be one of the most impor-
tant of the general assembly. to hold
q hearing upon the military bill,
which is most sweeping in its pro-
VISIONS and will probably be opposed
by labor leaders throughout the
state on account of at least one fea-
ture, which permits the militia to be
called out for riot or disturbance Of
any sort. This is in opposition to
the provisions of bill, which has
been introduced through their eff
forts, which provides that the state
militia shall not be called upon TO
do strike or similar duty. 1t remains
to- be seen whether. in view OF the
extreme situation into which state
and nation are forced at the present
time, the labor people will oppose
the Brooks military bill.
The bill which is most exhaustive
provides for three classes of service;
the unorganized militia, the national
guard and the naval militia. 1t pro-
vides principally that all male citizens
and all male residents of this state,
who have or shall have declared their
Intention of becoming citizens OF the
United States between the ages of Is
and As years of age, not exempted by
law, shall be subject to military duty
and be designated S the militia.
The unorganized militia is to con-
sist of all male citizens and all male
residents who have become or shall
declare their intention of becoming
citizens of the United States between
the above ages. In time of war, in
yasion, rebellion or riot or reason
able apprehension or upon requisi-
ton Of the President Of the United
States, the governor may order out
for active service as much of the
unorganized militia as he deems ne
cessary.
The names Of all male citizens shall
be enrolled alphabetically with the
selectmen of the town. The adjutant
general has pretty general power UNI
der the law. He has control of the
enrolment. In times of peace the
number of men in the National Guard
may not be less than 500 for each SEN
ator ard representative of the state in
congress-.
The act provides that the National
Guard may be called out in case of
riot or civil commotion in any place
in the state. Any officer whose duty
it is to enforce the civil authority at
such place, may if he considers that
the force at his disposal is not suffi-
cient, inform the governor who may
