SEN. JAMES GREAT SPEECH
If Senator Ollie James never rem
dered the country any other service
than the speech in the Senate the
other day, defending the administra-
ton from the Chamberlains and the
Hitchcock, whose criticisms carry
some weight because they occupy
seats in the u. S. Senate, it alone
should entitle him to reelection by a
practically unanimous vote. IL was
one of the ablest and most convinc-
ing speeches ever delivered in the bo-

both of the critics have grossly dis
torted facts, when they said that the
military establishment of America
had fallen down and had stopped
functioning. On the contrary, Sena-

he clothed in the beautiful language
of which he is past master, showed
that in the history of the world such
accomplishments as that of the ar
my and navy, since war was declar-
ed, had no counterpart. The speech
should make grateful constituency

Every newspaper man in the State
and every other person who knew
the splendid gentleman experiences
today feeling of sadness over the
death of Louis w. Landram, of Dan
vile, which occurred at 8 80 Monday
morning. He had been i'll long time
and fears were entertained that he
might not recover, but notwithstand-
ing this his friends and relatives
were not prepared for the shock. Mr..
Landram was beyond doubt the most
popular member of the Kentucky
Editorial Association and if he had
an enemy any where it is not known.
A gentleman in all the word means,
the possessor of a heart that was as
big as his BODY, and with love for
all mankind, he made friends who
were as true as they were lasting.
Like his distinguished father, Gen.
William ]. Landram, of Lancaster.

that he is preparing an order to limit
the size of meat portions. Both of
these articles are served small enough
now, and if Brer Hoover does not
compel the reduction in the price
while reducing the portion, it will be-
gin to look like he is in cahoot with
the men who are extorting on us
