HEARD ABOUT TOWN

The many friends of Mr.. Boil
Golden, one of the popular City
Fathers, will regret to learn thai
he is confined to his home this
week, threatened with typhoid
fever.
Major c. w. Longmire, who re-
Gently returned from overseas
service, was in town today with
Major Stone Norman, talking
over plans for the reorganization
of old Company M of the state
guards here.
DR.. R. ]. Cassidy, of Lexington,
one of the most famous medical
statesmen in the country, was in
Richmond today calling on local
druggists, and preparing to do
some big advertising for well
known remedy wsfffifeh will be
handled here.
Col. George Duncan, of Law
renceburg, was in town ,Wednes-
day the guest of his cousin, Mr..
J. M. Haden. Col. Duncan is a
warm admirer of Gov. Black, and
never loses an opportunity to
boost for his favorite, who, he
says, is a certain winner Saturday
August End, and in November,
too. There are few better known
politicians in that end of the 9th
district than Col. Duncan and
none who is reader to 60 to the
bat for friend when he is need
ed.
There are eleven rural schools
in Letcher county that have no
teachers so far. Owing to the
high wages being paid by corpo-
rations for office and clerical po-
sitions many of the most ex-
teachers have abandon
ed teaching as profession. The
teacher is the poorest wage earn
er in the mountains.
Governor Black has declined
to interfere to prevent the exc
cution of Lube Martin, sentenced
to death at Murray, for the
of Policeman Diuguid,
and the negro will be electrocuted
on July Is at the Eddyville
penitentiary. The Governor re-
Gently granted reprieve, stat
ing that he had not time to study
the record in the case, and his
action follows an investigation
Of the case.

Palmer Wants To Know What
Is An "Intoxicating Beverage

Washington, July 17.-Prohibition
is being enforced effectively through
out the United States, Attoney-Gen-
eral A. Mitchell Palmer said to-day.
Sale of "hard" liquor such as whisky,
gin and brandy, virtually has ceased
he asserted, except for scattering
violations Of the law as are inevita-
BILE with any new restrictive statute.
Manufacture and sale Of beer also
is prohibited except in communities
where the Courts have ruled against
the contention of the Department of
Justice that 2.75 per cent alcoholic
drinks are forbidden by law, and in
those jurisdictions prosecutions will
be instituted if the Supreme Court
finally upholds the departments
views. Mr.. Palmer said he had ex-
pressed no opinion on enforcement
legislation pending in Congress ex-
cept to say that the Department of
Justice would enforce vigorously
whatever measure was enacted. It
is known, however that Mr.. Palmer
regards as absolutely essential con-
gressional definition Of what alcoholic
content liquor shall be considered to
be prohibited under the wartime law
against Intoxicating beverages.

WAR VETERANS TO
meet next week
Organization of Madison Post Is
Postponed a Few Days Till
All Details Are Arranged

Madison c0unty's chapter of the
American Legion will not be formed
until next week. The meeting of the
boys who saw service which was
scheduled for tonight at the court
house has been called off, owing to
the fact that many details of or
ganization have not yet been arrang-
ed. Lieuts. Harry D. Rice and Robt.
r. Burnam, Jr., who are pushing
plans to form the local post, will an
nounce thro the Daily Register a lit

on for the first meeting, at which
time every man in Madison who saw
service in any branch of the military
service is expected to be present and
become a charter member.
Membership in the American
Legion is open to every man and
woman who served honorably in the
army, navy or marine corps between
April 6, 1917, and November II, 1918.
1t was organized in Paris, France in
March 1919, by a thousand officers
and men, delegates from all the units
of the A.: E.. F., who adopted a tenta-
tive constitution and selected the
hoiuS AAACAlCaH dCSAOus 1uc dCt-
ion Of the Paris meeting was confirm
ed by a convention held in st. Louis
in May, 1919, when the Legion was
formally recognized by the troops
who served in the United States.
The purpose Of the Legion is the
preservation Of the memories and as
sociations of the World War by those
who served in it, the inculcation of
100 per cent Americanism, and the
sense of the obligation of the individ-
ual to his community. It is strictly
non-partisan. ~,
The first State gathering of Ken
tucky's war veterans will be held in
Louisville about the middle of Octob-
er. Plans are under way for State
wide campaign for perfection of the
legion organization before armistice
day. November II, when the first
national convention will begin in
Minneapolis. Several thousands dele
gates will probably be in attendance
at the State gathering in Louisville.
The War Department has notified
Judge Moor1nan that $4,000 Kentuc-
hans served in the war.

99-YEAR LEASE FOR
MADISON INSTITUTE

The lease to the Madison In
stitute which will become Rich
mond's new consolidated high
school, has been formally filed
with the Richmond Board of Edu-
cation and recorded. It is a &C
year lease, and conveys the same
title to this property, that the
board holds for the Caldwell
school property. Plans are now
being made for opening of the
old school building as a high
school fall. Many improvements
are needed, but these will be
taken care of slowly by the board,
it is understood, and efforts will
be made to put it in first class
condition, with every convenience
for a splendid school building
The opening of this new high
school means a forward step in
educational affairs of Madison
county.
Many friends are interested in
the plans of Prof. J. B. Cassiday
and family. They have en-
deared themselves to the COM
munity during their residence in
Richmond, and the hope is ex-
pressed on the part of many that
they continue to maize this their
home. 1t is understood, however,
that Prof. Cassiday's plans have
not as yet matured.

VERMONT SENATORS STAND.

The Springfield Reporter in an able
editorial concerning the apparent reiec-
ton of the peace treaty says there is
prospect the President will send
it back to the next session of con
gress December first when better coun-
sells and broader vision may possibly
prevail. 1t says:
In that event. Vermont is justified
i'll wishing to know what course of
action she may expect from Senators
Dillingham; and Page, who both voted
against ratification without reserva
tons and for the Lodge resolution, thus
lining up determinedlv. with the oppo-
sition forces. In this stand our two
worthy senator may think they rep
resented the sentiment of their state,
but it is doubtful if they did entirely,
although the perusal of some of the
state papers might confirm them in that
opinion. There are in Vermont a good
many thinking people-more perhaps

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1919
WILSON REPUDIATED.

The representatives of the bitumi-
nous coal miners at the conference in
Washington when refusing the offer Of
fourteen per cent increase in wages
snecrinclv asked if William Wilson. sec
rotary of labor. who had recommended
a thirty.onc per cent increase, had been
repudiated. To an outsider it would
appear that Secretary Wilson had. IN
all labor controversies referred TO the
government for adjustment Secretary
Wilson has been the champion of or
gained labor and has always stood
for the further pyramiding of wages
and prices, thus increasing the cost OF
living. The rights of employers and
the public have been given scant con
sideration by this government agent
and the demands of labor favored The
decision of the cabinet that the rec
concentrations of Fuel Administrator
Garfield were more Just and satisfactory
was q reputation of Secretary VII
son the public is likely to endorse.
The public desires fair compensation
TO the coal miners but cannot support
their claims for a thirty hour week az
greatly advanced wages 1t would not
endorse prices for coal that would yield
the enormous profits of mine operators
that were obtained during the war pres
sure for more coal, therefore it Is
pleased with the decision that no add
vance in the price of coal will be al
lowed by the government TO pay the
fourteen per cent advance in wages.
The public also must have coal but
il is not certain the government will
obtain il. The miners declare they will
not work for the wages offered and the
government has not attempted to coerce
them. 1t looks as though new men
coal Is secured, that the present force
must be replaced by men willing to
give a fair days work for fair play
The statement of Director General Hines
of the railroad administration that the
railroad men who have recently been
granted an advance in wages are not
performing as much labor for their aid.
vaneed pay as they did under the for
mer scales of wages tends to show tina,
d, increased compensation is not an eff
cient remedy for labor troubles. This
is another reputation of Secretary
Wilson s efforts. 1t certainly looks a:
though his usefulness to the public is
nearly at an end
