CHARGED WITH
CRIMINAL LIBEL
Grand Jury Brings Indictment At
Russellville Following Serious
Charge Against Courts

Russellville, KY, June IA.
M. Herndon, editor Of the Rus
sellville Messenger, his wife, Mrs.
Elizabeth Chandler Herndon, as
sociate editor, were arrested late
yesterday on a warrdnt charging
them with criminal libel. They
were both placed in jail. Capt.
Frank M. Logan, also an editor OF
the Messenger, was indicted
jointly with the Herndons, but
was not arrested for the reason
he is now in Lexington. The
arrest caused sensation.
The Herndons refused to give
bond, were taken to jail, but soon
afterwards were admitted to bail.
On being released from jail Mrs.
Herndon tainted and was taken to
room in the hotel which she was
passing at the. time. A physician
was called and in a short time she
had recovered sufficiently to be at
her desk in the Messenger Office.
The indictment was based on an
editorial which appeared in the
Messenger May l, in which the
paper announced its purpose to
oppose Tom Rhea as candidate
for governor.
The editorial which brought
about the Indictment, said in part
| "We may be asked that if it be
true that the law has been violat-
ed why don't we go into court
and ask that those guilty of the
violation of the law be punished
i Our answer is that under the con.
ditions heretofore stated, we con.
!sider the fact that the court whic1
I tries the case and the sheriff who
selects the jury have been elected
to Office by the same machine ans
therefore we do not think ther,
would be much chance of convic
tion-in fact, about the same
chance as a worsted dog woult
have chasing an asbestos ca
thru hell"
i Circuit Judge John S. Rhe;
called the grand jury together AM
charged its members especial,
with reference to the publication
) mentioned, stating that the jur,
: must either indict the officers o
: the court or the editors of the pa
!, lper. 1t is said also that whel
the Indictment was not immedi
ately forthcoming he went befor
the grand jury in person and in
sisted upon the return of an in
I dictment.

A Wholesome Cooling Drink

The tendency in hot weather-es-

beverages containing artificial flavor

foot beer, made from Hires House

neither substitutes nor artificial fiav-

Hires Household Extract is made
from the juices of pure bark, berries,
spikenard, wintergreen, and birch
bark. This means that 1T is pure,
You can drink as much as you want
of the root beer you make from Hires
Household Extract!
And it's surprisingly easy to make
All you need is a bottle of Hires
Household Extract, sugar, and a yeast
cake. That 25c bottle of Hires House
hold Extract makes forty pints or
eighty glasses-costing less than 1c
glass!
Collect all those old bottles which
have been accumulating down the cell
lar-short-necked long-necked, quart

you need corks for them, you can get
some Hires specially prepared air
tight bottle shoppers from the grocer
when you buy your bottle of Hires

But you will enjoy your homemade
root beer!

CHARGE MONEY
is BUYING TITLES
Old Nobility Becoming Jeal-
Gus of Having Caste
Lowered

London July "a. - The tender
spot in British political life to-day is
the dispensation of titles. These are
awarded, of course, by the King, but
on the nomination of the Prime Min
lister, and the criticism of reformers is
that titles have been given for a long
time and by, various Prime Ministers
for purely party services and practically
bought of contributions to party funds
The House of Lords has a peculiar
interest in this matter because the old,
noble families are jealous of having
their caste lowered by the addition of
the newly rich. and purely rich to the
orders of nobility.
The question was threshed out last
year and there was a general under
standing that hereafter when honors
were announced the reason for their
bestowal should be published. This
has been done in form but it is alleged
not in substance, because several much
criticized honors in the last list were
described as "for public services" which
might mean almost anything.
The new National Party, which has
a few members in the House of Con-
mons has taken up the question. The
Chairman, General Page Croft, has
written to the newspapers proposing to
prove before any judicial committee
that since 1910 one member of Parlia-
ment has rejected an offer of a title in
return for a cash payment to party
funds and that the father of member
of the House of Commons was offered a
baronetcy for $4,000.
He charged also that a member of
Parliament who was created a Peer
after the beginning of the war sub
scribed shortly afterward very large
sum of money to a newspaper that
supports the Premier.
He mentions also instances in which
he says titles were granted to a politi-
clan of so notorious a character as to
be regarded as unfit to be candidate
for Parliament, to another politician re-
garded as unscrupulous and to a third
man previously involved in a notorious
social scandal"
General Page Croft offered to prove
all his charges.
