OUR ECONOMIC AND OTHER PROB
LENS BY Otto II. Kahn. New York:
George II. Doran Company.
Perhaps no other American 10 as
we'll qualified as Otto II. Kahn to
speak on this vexed problem-to
point out existing abuses and to
outline constructive program.
For Mr.. Kahn speaks with author
ity that 10 based on long practical
experience in the world of finance.
Foremost among American econo-
mists, few f1nanciers have had OPP
portunity to acquire such broad and
basic experience in economic affairs.
In his exposition of existing rail-
road abuses, Mr.. Kahn does not hesi-
tate to attack in vigorous, straight
from-the shoulder fashion the funda-
mental economic influences which
have been factors in creating these
conditions He traces the history
Of railroads from the time of the
modern era of railroad regulation
and rate control by commissions
during President Rooseveft's second
administration, with the enactment
of the Hepburn bill. through the
introduction of the Taft railroad
bill on down to the present time.
1T was a right instinct says
Mr.. Kahn, (which had guided the
people, under President Roosevelts
leadership, to determine. firmly and
unmistakably, that the time had
come to regard the pioneer period
OF this country's industrial and
economic development as at an end,
TO revoke the latitude which had
been tacitly accorded during this
period, to insist on strict adherence
to the rule of business conduct laid
down By the law, apd to punish any
violation OF such rules. by whom
soever committed, high or low. 1t
was salutary and timely to bring
home to corporations and individ-
uals, however powerful, the respect
and fear due to the law and to use
all means at the Governments dis
posal to visit upon dishonorable
practices condign punishment"

representatives cannot, in fairness,

CHAPTER III.


During the next few weeks John
william Cleland's instinct fought a
continuous series OF combats with
his reason.
Instinct, with her powerful allies.
loneliness, and love. urged the soli-
tary man to rash experiment; reason
ridiculed impulse and made it very
clear to CIeland that he was fool.
But instinct had this advantage:
she was always awake. whispering
to his mind and heart; and reason
often fell asleep on guard over his
brain.
But when awake, reason laughed
at the conspirators, always in am
bush TO slay him: and carried mat
ters with a high hand, rcbuking
instinct and frowning upon her
allies.
And John Cleland ,hesitated. He
wrote TO his only son every day.
He strove to find occupation for
every minute between the morning
awakening in his silent chamber
and the melancholy lying down at
night
But always the battle between
reason and instinct continued.
Reason had always appealed to
Cleland Senior. His parents and
later his wife and son had known
the only sentimental phenomena
which had ever characterized him
in his career. Outside OF these ex-
ceptions. reason had always flles>
him. This is usually the aA
among those who inherit htH
from forbears who. in turn, hh2,
been accustomed to inherit ana
hand down a moderate but unim-
paired fortune through sober gen.
erations.
Such people were born logical
when not born fools. And now
Cleland Senior, mortified and irri-
tated by the increasing longing
which obsessed- him, asked himself
frequently which of these he really
was.
Every atom of logic in him coun-
seled him to abstain from what
every instinct in him was desiring
and demanding-a little child to
fill the loneliness of his heart and
house-something to mitigate the
absence of his son, whose absence
must. in the natural course Of
events, become more frequent and
of longer duration with the years OF
college imminent. and the demands
OF new interests. new friends in
creasing year by year.
He told himself that to take an
other child into his home would be
unfair to Jim; to take her into his
heart was disloyal: that the dear
past belonged to his wife alone, the
present and the future to his only
son.
And all the while the man was
starving for what he wanted.

TOBACCO GROWERS
TO ATTEND MEETING
Lexington Meeting Expected To
Be Greatest Gathering Ever
Held In State

Much interest has been mani
fest among local growers since
the meeting Saturday, and it is
probable that there will be many
besides the delegates chosen to
attend the big meeting Wednes-
day in Lexington, present from
Richmond and Madison county.
The delegates and others there
will gather what information
they can and present the same at
the next meeting which has been
called for Madison county, at the
court house Saturday afternoon
at l 80 o'clock. At this meeting
it is the general presumption that
decisive action will be taken here
and that an organization will be
effected to look after the interest
of the matter of future tobacco
growing in Madison county. Lo-
cal growers represent one Of the
most important factors in the
state, owing to the size and ex-
tensiveness of the growing of the
weed in Madison county. The
delegates to the meeting at Lex
ington, we're: Messrs. Waller
Bennett, N. L. Deatherage, DR.. G..
G. Perry, and Green Clay. AL
though these were regularly ap-
pointed, everyone present was eX-
tended a cordial invitation to be
in attendance, and it is protable
that there will be many besides
the above named there. Indica-
tions are that there will be the
largest gathering of growers
ever assembled in the state, since
the meetings Saturday were held
i'll all of the counties where to-
bacco is grown to any extent, and
Indiana and Ohio will also be rep
resented. The outcome of the
meeting there is being awaited
by many with much interest.

Promises that Gov. Cox would make
a fighting speech were fulfilled. Time

heartiest appreciation.

Are OFFICIALS OF
GARRARD ASLEEP?

All who have occasion to travel
to Lancaster are being advised to
so by train these days until the
officials OF Garrard county wake
up and do some work badly need
ed at the Point Leavell bridge
The new concrete bridge has been
put in for some time, but in rails
ing it higher than the old wooden
structure it was found necessary
to make fills on each side, and in
stead of using heavy rock foun
dation, dirt and mud seems to
have been scraped up and piled
at each end of the bridge The
consequence has been that dozens
of automobiles have mired and
been compelled to hire teams to
pull them out. The work is a
botch of the worst kind, and it's
shame that Garrard has to put up
with officials who are SO negli-
gent of the interest of the travel
ing public-from their own Cour-
ty and others. A few loads of
rock would remedy the trouble.
