hood and Legal qualification"
over time since he entered the
race for Circuit Judge, on the
idea that he was the only one
Offering Tor this Office who pos
sessed either of these perrequi-
sites. Nor it is not out of place
for the voters of this district to
know something of Mr.. Lays
official doings while he was
County Attorney Of Knox coun-
ty. The best way to judge the
future Of a man is by his past
record. Then Jet us see if Mr..
Lay properly safeguarded the in
terests of tie county he repre-
sented and its taxpayers. 1t is
a matter of common knowledge
that it requires certain amount
of money to run the affairs of
the county, aud a uniform tax if
required to raise the money. If
there are any slackers or delin-
quents in either the assessment
or payment of taxes, then the
deficiency, represented by such
delinquents, must be made up by
additional levy, either by the
County Board of Supervisors or
the State Board of Equalization,
by raising those taxpayers who
have already been ass essed. The
the duties of the County Attor-
ney in relation to the assess ment
of omitted property is set out in
the Kentucky Statutes as fol-
lows:
Section 1871, Kentucky Stat
utes: HE shall attend to the
prosecution of all cases in his
county in which the Common.
wealth is interested and when
so directed by the County or
Fiscal Court to institute and de-
fend actions, motions and pro-
ceedings of every description be-
fore any of the courts of this
Commonwealth in which the
County is interested"
Section 1850, Ken tucky Stat
utes: 1T shall be the duty of
the County Court Clerk upon
filing of any statement by any
officer for the assessment of
omitted property, to enter the
name Of the County Attorney
for said county as attorney on
behalf of the State and county,
and it shall be the duty of said
county attorney to appear and
prosecute said proceedings in all
the Courts to which the same
may be taken for trial"
1t is a we'll known fact that a
large survey of land of 1000
acres, on the east side of Knox
was owned by Regiland
H. johnson and 4. A. Buffum,
two millionares of Boston, Mass,
who listed the lands for the
years 1904, 1915, 1906 and never
listed or paid the taxes on the
survey of land or any part of it
ior the year 1907, and same was
sold by the Sheriff and bid in by
the State and thereafter the
owners pretended to redeem said

of 1907, which redemption Mr..

S2,991 ,465 in 1915 to $9,756,379 last year.

enormous profits the company has re-
fused to pay living wages to eastern en-
ployes who have been on strike in this

vertisements, denounced the strike as an

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 22.-Although cotton was under severe selling pressure on this market today, there were two periods of steadiness, one in the early trading following the report of a fall in ocean freight rates, and one late in the session after the delivery of the Presi- dents address to the Senate. The market opened and closed at the decline and at it's lowest was about $2.50 a bale under last weeks final quotations. The close was net loss of 15 to 21 points.
 In the early trading the market fell 25 to 32 points under & general display of bearish sentiment, talk of export diff culties and favorable weather for the start of the new crop. The report that Liverpool room out of gulf ports was 50c per hundred pounds lower coupled with considerable realizing by shorts, checked the decline and caused a recovery of IS to 16 points. The steadiness did not last long, for when it was announced that President Wilson would address the Sen ate traders concluded that it was in cin- nection with submarine warfare and a heavy selling movement resulted which put trading months 46 to 54 points under Saturdays close.
 After more reassuring reports had been received from Washington the decline stopped, but the tone held nervous until the early afternoon, when a recovery oi about 30 points was registered

Portugal Issues Statement
 on Why She Entered War

Paris, January 22.-An official white book has been issued by the Portu- guese government, according to Ha- vas dispatch from Lisbon, detailing the causes leading to PortugaIs entry into the war. It says
 While on the one hand Portugal was the ally of England for six cen turies and offered England her aid on the outbreak of the war. on the other hand Germany made war on Portugal in Africa without previously making Q declaration of war and German sub marines sank Portuguese steamers in the Atlantic without notice. Portugal then began in seriously difficulties without food conservations to requisi- ton 72 German vessels which had taken refuge in Portuguese. ports
 The white book adds that Portugals 8 treaty of commerce with Germany, even in times of peace, had been broken. The white book concludes:
 '"The Portguguese government never proclaimed It's neutrality because in its character of ally of England and the condition of France 1t considered it. self bound to these states, which were defending civilization by obligations of a moral and historic nature

PRESIDENTS SPEECH UNSETTLES STOCKS
Incident Offers Fresh Proof of Markets Susceptibility
 to Outside Influences

New York, January 22.-Stocks were moderately unsettled during the first half of today's session by the announcement that President Wilson would address the Senate on impending international devel- opments. Early gains of 1 to points in specialties were soon replaced by ex- treme losses of to points in specula- tive favorites, with more for shippngs and Bethlehem Steel, the latter reacting l5 points
 The purport of the chief executives speech became generally known in the early afternoon and prices rallied, but only in a few important cases were full recoveries made. The incident was inter esting as offering fresh proof of the mar ket's susceptibility to outside influences.
 Professionals had the field almost en- tire1y to themselves although quicken ins of public interest was expected to follow last Saturdays very favorable bank statement
 Activity was greatest on the decline ot the forenoon, trading later becoming istless. Bethlehem Steels was watched for some line or indication of action by the directors at tomorrows meeting. United States Steel as well as Crucible, Lackawanna and Gulf States Steel were to points down at lowest levels, with similar recessons in shippings and cop pors.
 Recessions of to points in motors, petroleums, Ohio Gas, Pittsburg Coal and Virginia Coal were supplemented by more moderate reversals in the leather, paper and sugar issues Rails averaged 1 point decline with points for Reading. Final prices were only nominally above mini mum quotations, United States Steel making a net decline of points with for Bethlehem Steel. Total sales of stocks amounted to S70,000 shares.
 Further acute weakness was shown by Russian and Italian exchange, both reg istering new low records, with rubles at 2S.70c and fires at S107. German and Aus trian rates also denoted lack of demand. Bonds were generally lower on narrow dealings. Total sales, par value, $4,275, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. January 22.-Selling for tho
 long account together with hedge selling
 from southern holders, was in evidence
 from the opening of the market. The
 decline about noon, based on fear or some further involvement of the United States lin the field of European politics (con- trary to the advice of George Washing ton) led to quick decline, which caught stop orders What short interest there was covered freely, expecting recovery from the decline of 10 days and the mar ket closed steady.
 Generally the trade feels that both Liv- erpool& and this market should rally to- morrow. Whether another speculation for Ian advance will appear will depend upon whether there are new factors in the situation to induce investment buying of
 cotton.

PAPER SITUATION
 REPORT IS HELD UP . FOR DEVELOPMENTS
Federal Trade Commission, Which Has Been Investi- gating, Thinks Problem
 May Solve Itself

Washington, January z3.-The fed- eral trade commissions report on it's news print paper investigation. al-
 though virtually completed, probably will be held up for some days, it wag learned today. until further inquiry is made concerning the effect of a Cam adisn government order fixing max imum news print prices in Canada. A meeting announced for Friday at Chi c$go between paper manufacturers and publishers also may bring devel- opments that will have bearing on the report.
 The Canadian decree, although it may not affect directly the American market. it has aroused much interest in the trade commission as we'll as among publishers. II is known the commission is recommending legisia- ton to prevent a recurrence of the present paper situation In which pub fishers have found themselves help less against high prices and an ap parent shortage. It is understood that among other things 1t may ask for broader powers. The commission now only can investigate and report.
 Some officials in close touch with the paper situation believe ,.he mar ket will adjust itself soon and that even a restriction on Canadian ex ports hardly will affect the American market to any degree. They say there virtually will be enough paper on the market soon to satisfy publishers. The Canadian decree was issued un- der orders in council and provides d mo rgraf1 d.r@ sN1 x@v~ta Al s10 a ton over old contracts. It limits exports to so per cent of mills out- put, whether the mill Is under Can adian or American management.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, January 22. President Wilson's address on foreign relations brought about a material upturn to- day In the price of wheat, but the gains were not all held. The market unset tied 1z@2bc net higher, with May at s1.S6 4 @1.s7. and July at $1.53A O 1.53%. Corn finished sH@sAc up, and oats at an advance of a shade to 3s O 1sc. In provisions, the result was a de- cline of 5Q7c to 17c
 At first there was a rush to sell wheat on account of nasty differences that the President might disclose a new crisis with Germany, but as soon as the speech had gone far enough to indicate he was dealing exclusively with league to enforce peace, sellers of wheat turned to the buying side. A rise of nearly cents from the bot tom figures of the day ensued. Then came news that the President had de- clared for a peace without victory and there was noticeable renewal of bearish sentiment, certain leaders talk ing the position that such views might lead to frition between the United States and the entente allies.
 Misgivings concerning possible un welcome results from the Presidents speech had little time to make much headway before the wheat market closed.
 The days developments favored the bulls especially reports that Ger man raider had been sunk and that in Nebraska the winter crop was im- perilled by extreme cold and ice GOV cred fields.
 Corn duplicated the action of wheat Notwithstanding reports of rain in Ar o-l 5nyp a1 had at A- erable effect. Country offerings were limited.
 Oats trade included liberal purchases for exports. Price schanges, however depended on the course of the other cereals.
 Increased arrivals of hogs acted as a weight on provisions.

Mexican Hotel Collapses, Killing One Guest and
 Injuring Many Others

Douglas, Ariz., January 22.-Heavy rain, Sonora hotel in Cananea, Mex, weakened the structure so that one side collapsed early today, killing Gaston Mendoza. 2 years old, and injuring a number of American guests. Messages received here tonight from Cananea said earlier re- ports that IS persons were dead were not borne out when the wreckage had been cleared.
 W. A. Julian, American vice consul, and owner of the hotel, was sleeping on the side which collapsed, but escaped.
