THE GIANT AWAKE.

We have recently witnessed an
event IN this country the like OF
which the world has never. before
Seen-at least, the world of our
knowledge. We have witnessed
the entrance into the ranks of a
nation 8 fighting men of ten mil
lion soldiers, waiting the call to the
eolors. We see today an army of
nearly two million men actually
under arms, equipped and assem-
bled, ready to do or die in their
country s service.
1t is an amazing sight. America,
the peaceful; America, the cradle
of federation, the nursery of jus
tice and right-America IN 9-ms
and springing to the fray!
And the strange feature of the
ease is, it has ast0nished even
Americans themselves. We had
been so long accustomed to hear
ourselves referred to as sleep
ing giant that we had come to so
regard ourselves. We had thought
that the affairs of the outside
world concerned US not, and that
we were sufficient unto ourselves
But today sees the giant awake
A little grOggy, it is true, but
rapidly assimilating the power
and might that will sweep every
thing before him when once he
gets his stride. 1t also sees him
shorn of his prOvincialism and
taking his rightful place In the
wOrld-a man of power and might |
among men of power and might |
And being awake, we find con-
fronting us one of the most stu
penduOus tasks that ever confront
ed a people. We find ourselves
the probable deciding factor in
world war, the balance of power
that shall make this earth a safe /
place of abode for all men-a
world in which right and not
might shall reign.
And with this great task before
us, we are going about our prepa-
rations as BELTS people who have
not only confidence in their own
powers, but a full appreciation of
the magnitude of the task as well
While we have not proclaimed it
broadcast, yet deep within the
hearts of our people there is a
firm determination that the sword
shall not be sheathed until the ,
cause of humanity has triumphed
over the forces of oppression and
tyranny. There is but one senti-
ment heard from the lips of all
loyal people: 1--WE must win. "
Therein lies the meaning Of the l
quiet, deep, but deadly purpose of 7
Dur people. We must win for hui t
sake. And when were 4
BUR people ever called up to per- t
form task for humanity, that v
hey failedg r
Our millions who have answered S
he call have come cheerfully. G
They have stepped forward with f
m ample appreciation of the work p
before them, but also with SUI t.
,reme confidence in their ability G,
0 perform the task. This is the a
pirit that conquers, and it win Il
conquer in this instance. 81

HOPKINSVILLE MAN
Dies As a Result OF Poison In Pre-.

Mr.. E. NJ. Flack died at ono

Kentuckian.
The prescription was given by his

scription Mr.. Goodman tasted the
mixture and sent 1t to Mr.. tFlack,
who was suffering from bronchial
asthma. As soon as the medicine
arrived he took prescribed dose
and in short while began to suffer
with dizziness. In the meanwhile

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

The substance of Chief Justice
Whites opinion, in brief, is that the
prohibitory laws may not be violat-
ed by common carriers on the
ground that obedience to the laws
is an interference with Interstate
Commerce.
THE all-reaching power of gov
eminent over liquor is settled" said
tho Chief Justice. There was no
intention of Congress to forbid indi-
vidual use of liquor. The purpose
of this act was to cut cut by tho
roots the practice of permitting vio-
iation of State liquor laws. We can
have no doubt that Congress has
complete authority 10 prevent par
alyzing of State authority.
Congress eXerted a power to CO.
ordinate the national with the State
authority.
Under the Webb-Kenyon act
there is no power in interstate
commerce to ship liquor from one
State into another to enable it to be
used in any way prohibited by the
State.'
The West Virginia law which was
upheld does not forbid the personal
use of liquor but it does restrict the
power to obtain it for such use.

them.
Then Dewey gave his famous or
der to Cat. Gridley Of the Olympia
which brought on the destruction Of
the Spanish fleet.
"You may fire when you are
ready, Gridley,"
Immediately the guns Of the As
iatic fleet poured broadside after
broadside at the enemy.
The Spaniards were poor marks
men and failed to touch the Ameri-
can ships, while most Of Dewey's
shots hit.
Admiral Montojo engaged Com
modore Dewey in duel, but the
Spanish flagship went down under
an eight-pound shell from the
Olympia. and Admiral Montojo was
barely saved from death.
Six. hours after the first shot was
fired the white flag went up on Ca
vite, and Dewey took note of the
losses. ~
Not an American was lost. and
only seven were wounded. while 200
Spaniards were killed and between
500 and 700 wounded.
Dewey's ships suffered no mater
ial damage while they sank three Of
the Spanish protected cruisers, burn
ed the other three the three gun
boats, scout cruiser and one Of the
transports and captured the other
transport with two tugs and several
launches.
Dewey's victory at Manila Bay
the first great event of the Spanish
American War.
The next great naval battle took
place off Santiago, Cuba, July 3,
1898, when Commodore Schley and
acting Rear Admiral Sampson bot
tied up Cervera's fleet in Santiago
Harbor, after Lieut.. Hobson's heroic
sinking of the Merrimac in the chan
mel.

Find the Spanish fleet, capture
or destroy it.
JOHN ID. LONG,
Secretary Of the Navy"

This order, following the sinking
of the Maine in Havana Harbor, led
to one of the greatest naval battles
in history and placed the name
George Dewey beside those of Mel,
son, Farragut and Porter.
Commodore Dewey was in Mrs
Bay, off Hongkong, April 81, 1898
with four protected cruisers, includl
ing the flagship Olympia, two gun
boats, two supply transports and q
dispatch boat, when he received the
order. ''
Arriving at the entrance to Manila
Bay the night of April 80, Dewey
ordered all lights out and proceeded
past the forts of Corregidor, guard
ing the entrance and thirty miles
from Manila.
The channel was planted with
mines and torpedoes, but the six
fighting ships managed to steal
through safely.
Toward dawn Dewey's fleet came
in sight of Cavite. five miles south
of Manila, where he saw the Span
ish fleet at anchor, under protection
of formidable land batteries.
Admiral Montojo was in command
of six protected cruisers, one scout
cruiser, three gunboats and two sup
ply transports. ,
When Dewey was seven miles
from Cavite, the forts opened fire.
The future Admiral made no reply,
but went straight to the enemy. The
Olympia, with Dewey Oh the bridge,
led the way.
The Spanish forts and ships kept
up their hot fire but no gun was
fired from the American squadron
until the Olympia was opposite

COUNTRY'S FOREIGN RELATION
Must de Kept Above Party Consid-
Grafton Says Mr.. Garrison.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Unless the
present problems confronting the
United States are settled soon and
rightly the nation must mourn in
sack cloth and ashes" for its folly
and heedlessness, declared Lindley
M. Garrison. former Secretary of
War. in an address before the New
York State Bar Association.
I'm that day the execration heap
ed upon those who led the nation
astray," he asserted, will differ in
degree only from that heaped upon
those who saw the light and knew
the way. but had hearts too fraint
to lead on the proper way"
Mr.. Garrison declared that the
country's foreign relations must be
kept above party consideration and
consonant with national traditions.
The energies of the wisest and best
leaders the nation can produce will
be taxed, he said, to determine the
part the United States should play
in world politics.
ITO avoid. unnecessary conflict
this nation should do all consistent
with self respect to avoid war" he
continued. II will waste no time
avoidance OF war by su-
pine surrender of our self-respect. or
by refusal to defend and maintain
the nations interests against the ma
tons enemies. for what profiteth 1t
a nation to save it's skin II It lose its
soul? ..,..,,.. .-
"Other proposals rising from men
who love their country, revolye
around the central idea Of world
alliance to insure, preserve and en-
force peace through world court or
world parliament. With this sug-
suggestion am in entire and whole
hearted sympathy; but We must not
let emotion lead us into radical
departure from the policy which has
made and kept us great. Fear for
our safety need not cause us to en-
ter such an agreement. for We have
both men and means to provide for
our safety, and II We will not avail
ourselves Of them we are not worth
saving. We should consider care
fully whether mixing in the affairs
of other nations is not probably
surer way to produce war than to
prevent war. No self-respecting ma
ton should enter such an alliance
unless II is prepared to accept the
consequences Of seeing its destiny
determined by other minds and 9TH
err interests"
