Editor of The Star.

To the Editor OF i he Slar.
Tn common with many of your read
ers, no doubt, 1 was much interest
ed in Mr. Francis De Sales Ryan's
contribution in today's Star to the
discussion regarding the finding of
word describing an individual who
has lived one whole century and
narts of two others. Like him, 1 know
of no such word in use. and have not
found any such in my Webster s Un-
abridged or International. AS re-
CARDS the suggested word 'supercen-
tenarian," it may be objected that as
the prefix super" simply means above
or over, it does not cover the point
at issue, as any one having lived over
a century could properly be referred
to as a supercentenarian. In fact, few
men have died at exactly one hum
dred years of age. though the world
has known of thousands of centena-.
rians. and they have been commonly
so called, regardless of any "oyer-
time" to use a shop word. Apparently,
the case of Cherokee Bill needs a
word that will clearly indicate that
the man was born near the close of
one century, lived through the next
one and died in the one after that.
Evidently "supercentenarian con-
vevs no such meaning. and hence
does not solve the question. 1t is up
to the photographer.

RESOLUTIONS

Whereas on June 5, 1919, God in his
divine wisdom called to his heavenly
home our beloved brother, B. Juett,
who for more than thiry-five years
has been a loyal, devoted and faith
full member of Madison Lodge No. IA
of Boone Encampment No 407 ofwhich
he was Patriarch, also past grand
patriarch of Kentucky, and also of
the Million Rebecca Lodge No. %
I. o. o. F., and that subsequent thereto
on June %, 1919, he likewise called
to his home beyond the stars our
much beloved sister, Ada Juett, the
devoted wife of brother B. Juett, who
was also a much beloved, loyal and
faithful member of Million Rebecca
Lodge. Therefore, be it.
Resolved: That in the death of this
brother and this sister, the Order of
Odd Fellows, including all it's branch
es, has lost two of its faithful,
conscientious, christian members who
have at all times throughout their
long membership upheld the great
principles of friendship, love and
truth. That humanity has lost a
friend, because they constantly sought
to purify and better the condition Of
mankind; and most especially will the
widows and orphans residing in the
Odd Fellows Home of Kentucky miss
them, because much of their engeries
and activities were directed to i'm
prove, aid and ameliorate their con-
dition.
Resolved: That the sympathies of
the members of these lodges be, ex-
tended to our brother in F. l.. & t.,
Reed Juett, and his family, and their
daughter, Mrs. Hazel Elmore, and her
family in their sad bereavement in
their loss of loving, kind and devoted
parents, and a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to each of them and
spread at large upon the minutes Of
Madison No. IA, and Million Rebecca
Lodge, and published in the Daily
Register and Paragraph.

Did ever president of these
United States have responsibilities
thrust upon him than Woodrow Will
son, with the war over and peace
arranged, now it's the railroad strik-
ers again. With Wilson, as with life,
it seems to be just one d. thing after
another. And outside of the political
partisans who can see no good in any
man or his works if he does not be-
long to their particular political creed,
the great majority of the people, feel
satisfied that Woodrow Wilson will
handle this latest crisis with the same
calm Judgment and though for the
best interests of all the people that
he has ever shown in the past.

gressive fight and am confident that
I did nothing that would injury my

There was much to contend with.
I lived in the Seventh Congressional
District and there were candidates for
nearly every state Office from that
district. l had well organized fight
made upon me in my home county
where as paid counsel for the Com
monwealth had brought an escheat
suit against local bank and some of
the men connected with that institut-
ion made very bitter fight upon
me with little regard for the truth in
their statements relative to me. An
other man fought me because his SON.
in-law had applied to Governor Stan
ley for "job" and did not get it. I
recall that / wrote letter asking the
Governor to give him the position and
this was his means of showing ap-
probation. In combating this OPP
position I made no personal eff
fort whatever and did not ask man
in the county to support me. I have
every expression Of profound graft
tude for those who helped and alb
no ill will for those who hurt.
They were plainly entitled to the in
dependent sovereignty of choosing.
On the whole case, after retro
spective consideration fthe returns
before me, win or loose, I see moth
ing to my discredit and am pleased
and satisfied I expect to return
home shortly to attend the Democratic
State Convention and from then on
to devote my time and every energy
I possess to the success of the entire
Democratic ticket in the November
election whether or not I am on that
