When Senator Knox was Secretary
Of State in the administration OF

H. Wands Of New York as diplomatic
agent Of the State Department. whose
duties were to be a study Of condi-
tions in the South American republics
with full reports to the State Depart
ment OF the result OF his inyestiga-
tions. This diplomatic service was
continued until the Taft administra-
tion ended. Some OF the increase in
our South American trade which be-
gan to be observed about 1910 was in
considerable measure due to influences
put forth by the State Department
through the consular agents based
upon the reports made by Mr.. Wands.
Today and during the South Amer
lean summer. Mr.. Wands is serving
the United States in another capacity,
for he is attempting to stimulate what
he hopes will become a very great in
ternational trade between the United
States and South America Mr..
Wands has been for some time vice
president of the firm of Chandler q
Company and it was this firm which
was brought into prominence in 1917
by reason of its purchase. in associa-
ton with the Equitable Trust Com

WHAT WE THOUGHT AND WHAT
THE OTHER FELLOW DID.

| VThree years ago when the electors
of this district elected Judge Slack
and Commonwealth Attorney Smith,
we felt like they had made an awful
mistake" We were then narrow
enough to believe that no body could
handle or perform so well the duties
of the office of Circuit Judge and
Prosecuting Attorney as Judge Birk-
head and Mr.. Ringo had done and
could do Our good opinion of these
men has not been lessened in the
least. but late happenings has caused
us to see that these two officers have
been succeeded by two men well
qualified to perform their respective
duties and possess moral courage suf-
'ficient to guarantee justice to all The
action of Judge Slack in changing
the trial of a man from Daviess coun-
ty to Hancock county when some ir-
regularity caused him to believe that
something or somebody connected
with the defense of the man accused
was trying to thwart justice. was very
commendable in him. In the face of
many of his friends and supporters
in spite of the fact that his action will
make many political enemies for him
duty and sent the trial to county
where the officers of the court and
the men that set in the jury box
could have no possible feelings either
for or against the man charged or
his friends. On first thought This
may appear as a little thing, but it
required a Judge of nerve to do it and
Judge Slack has taken a step i'm the
right direction and has blazed away
that will in the future go long way
in dealing out to criminals their just
deserts.
The foregoing article was clipped
from the current issue of the Han
cock Clarion, published at Hawes-
Vile. The paper being democratic,
in politics it is indeed quite a COM
pliment, not alone to the ability of
Judge Slack and Commonwealth
Attorney, Smith, but for their zeal
and faithfulness to duty as well
Coming too when the air was some
what pregnant with heated politics.
the compliment must be all the more
by these two officials.

We humbly acknowledge here and
now to our good friend the Hartford
Herald as to our ignorance of the
existance of saloons in Louisville, and
it may also be true that our ignorance
in this particular case is not bliss.
We allow that you know a good many
things that we don't profess to know.
But what we do wish to learn is.
what does John Henry or J. l. Good
man, of the Herald, have to do with
the matter.
