CAMPAIGN TO REDUCE
 ACCIDENTS \ SUCCESS

The campaign to reduce ac- cidents to employees in the South western Region during the month of May, 1919, was a de- cided success. During May, 1919, there was a total of GIG accidents to employees. as com pared with E475 during the same month of last year, a re- duction of 56 percent.
 During the 3-months' period, January to March, 1919, in- elusive, an average of l employe per month was killed to every 9,715 in service, while during the month of May. the number was reduced to l employe killed to every 24,983 in service. Dur ing the same 3-months' period l employe out of every 153 was injured while during the month of May, l employe was injured to every 273 in service.
 Officers and employees took 2 most active interest in the cam. paign and the outcome in dicates what it is possible te accomplish by intensive efforts the exercise of preeadtion, ana having SAFTY FIRST always in mind.
 The Safety movement was given an impetus during the month of May which will be con. tinuad, as doubtless, all employe. are impressed with what may be done to avoid accidents te themselves and fellow men by anticipating the consequences ol unsafe working methods ane conditions.

II 1NTICELLO BOY WINS
 HIGH H0N0RS- AT TANDERBILT UNIVERSITY.
Dr. Bapheny White Makes Bril-
 liant Start Tn Medical Profes-

Daphney E. White, son of Sheriff John W. White and wife, arrived in this city Monday afternoon bringing home with him one of the greatest scholar ship honors that Vanderbilt University can award to one of her students, The Founder s Medal of the Vanderbilt Med ieal Department. This medal is given to the student having the highest four year average in the class. It has the print Of Com m0dofe Vanderbilt, the founder of the University, on it's surface, being about the size of q twenty collar gold piece. Besides this medal our Monticello boy has accomplished other things along ! the line of scholarship and stu- dent activities. In 1915-16 at the University of Arkansas he was a member of the U. of A. band and Glee Club, he was also q member of the Commodore band for two years at Vanderbilt University. In 1918 he was elected to membership in the Phi Kappa Chi Fraternity, an honorary medical fraternity re- Quiring a minimum of a general average of 9G per cent each year for three years and was elected president of this frater- nity in his senior year.
 He is also member of the Phi Beta Pi Fraternity, being sent as a delegate in 1918 to the National Convention at Kansas City, Mo. During our recent World War this young man did his bit. He was studing med icine previous to the declaration of war by the United States. Tie Government advised such students to complete their course before enlisting in the service since 1t was considered that they would be more valuable to their country as medical officers than to stop their course and enlist immediately, hence this young man pursued his study of med ielne. However, in October 1918, the installation of the s. A. T. c. at Vanderbilt gave him a chance to enter a branch of the service and he volunteered into this corps, being appointed as Sergeant immediately. Dur ing the recent epidemic of Spanish Influenza he was called by the Government into active service at the powder plant in Nashville. Tenn.
 Dr. White was the youngest man in his class being barely of age. He was however, permitted receive his diploma, according to the ruling of the American Medical Association. He is now with us for a few days intending to leave the latter part of this month to further the study of his medical education by talk ing an Is month interneship at Fassar Bros. Hospital in the State 0f New York, Indeed, Monticello has reason to be very proud of this enterprising young man. And we join in, with his many friends in wishing him great success in his undertake ing.

The following comes to us, ln print, as eminating from that sweet singer of the republican party, Judge John Mcclure, form erly known as Poker Jack Hear him.
 If the Wheelers can turn the democrats out, all right; will encourage that sort of disinfec- tion. My object is to create fdiSSention in the democratic party. The Wheelers have less intelligence to do harm than the democrats. If they get into the legislature, we might convince them as a matter of economy that it would be a good thing to consolidate the elections. Let us go home and agitate the 1 Wheelers; agitate anybody and everybody into open rebellion against the dem0oratic party and assist the dissatisfied in organizing. Our digging time will come, husband your re- sources"
 The digging time" of the old brood may come, but We think 1t will be after this day and generation. The dark days of reconstruction, with their horde of tyrants, robbers and militia are too fresh in the memory of the people to let them in the political potato field yet, for a while.

In the statement made last week to the effect that the Wheelers had agreed to go into politics some of the prominent members say we did them an in Justice, as they are democrats, and will, under no circumstances agree for the wheel, which is strictly non-political, to go into politics. We were led into this error by sapposing that the resolution appointing a com mittee to present the wheel de mands was the action of the majority, which we learn is not true. We take pleasure in set ting these gentlemen right on the record.-Hamburg News.

nouncement of Col. r. C. Oldham, of
Winchester, for the democratic NOM
ination for Lieutenant Governor, was
published, and we presume was read
by many of the patrons of this paper.
Col. Oldham is a democrat in whom
there is no guile, is a successful law
yer and for several years past has
been a member of the State Election
Commission. In very clear man.
ner he present his platform and in
every plank of it, he strikes this pa
per as being sound. Col. Oldham is
progressive citizen, a progressive
democrat and if nominated and elect
ed there are many reasons to believe
that hewould give progressive ad-
ministration and one that would prove
creditable alike to himself and his
party. He is an old Madison boy
leaving that county for Clark only q

In The Holy Land
louisville Post)

The regular monthly report to the
British War Department of Gen. Ed
mund Allenby, the English officer
who led the British army that cap
tured Jerusalem in the last period of
the war, and who is now acting as
military governor of the Holy Land,
shows that while great improvements
are being made in Jerusalem and
Palestine it is requiring great deal
Of money to do it.
General Allenby's report for jan
uary notes among other things the
completion of modern waterworks
system for Jerusalem. All of this
work was designed by the British
army engineers and paid for out of
the British war chest. General Allen
by notes the fact that the building of
this water system was absolutely es-
sential if he was to keep an army
in Palestine as his soldiers were suf-
fering as much as the civil popula-'
ton by contaminated warter supply.
The enterprise has cost something
every 100000 but Jerusalem we are
told now has better and purer water
supply than any other city in all that
part of the world.
Some of the details of his work
are interesting. General Allenby's
engineers found on the Herbon road
ancient underground aqueducts, which
some thought to have been work of
Herod, others concluded were built
in that glorious epoch of the Jewish
Kingdom when King Solmon reigned
At any rate it was apparent that al
some period in tn distant passover
1000 years ago-Jerusalem had pos
sessed an excellent water supply, ant
that this had been allowed to go Il
ruin and for many centuries the cit,
has been using contaminated water
Letters published in the Londo,
press contemporaneous with Genera
Allenby's report, give other detail
of what is taking place in Palestine
There seems to be no doubt that
movement toward Palestine by mem
bers of the Jewish race is ALREADY
in progress and both at Palestia
and Damascus the English arm,
men comment upon the energy show,
Richmond daily register. (Richmond, Madison County, Ky.) 1917-1978, 1919-04-23

by these Jews in the work Of re-
construction. But it seems clear that
Palestine cannot be restored with
out the credit of the British treas
ury behind the work. The people of
Palestine have no craving for in
dependence. They want the British
flag to continue to fly over Jerusalem
and ask nothing better than that
Palestine shall be restored by the
British government.

winner for a democratic nomination
on the State ticket this fall is Ronald
Oldham, a Richmond boy, who has
simply BACKED EN- all off the boards"

campaign, the like of which is seldom
seen in a race for the governorship
and papers all over the State are
practically conceding this far in ad-
vance of the primary next August,
