What Mr.. Taft Said
The Prefix ''Non" Omitted
From an important Word

in eNPresident Jaft's article on the
Republicans and the League of Nations
as published in The Tribune on Wednes
day. rs the following sentences
"He approved however, with en-
phasis, the machinery provided in the
league covenant for reaching a recon-
mendation for settlement Of the jus
tlciable controversies"
The word should have been mon JUS
ticlahle' instead of ''justiciable," as
appears from the context 1t affects
the eense of the article. and for that
reason this explanation is made. The
error was caused by a mistake in the
trsns smission Of what Mr.. Taft wrotn.

Again. Marshall has a strong fol-
lowing in the Senate, and this may
mean a lot in the final rounds Of
balloting at the national convention.
Much of the anti administration and
anti Wilson talk is the result Of Re
publican propaganda started months
ago and backed up by disgruntled
Democrats and officeseekers who were
not the heirs to political patronage
The first Democratic leader to leave
French Lick was former Senator c. W.
Watson, Of West Virginia, who was
here in the interest of the candidacy
Of Ambassador John w Davis. Early
this morning his private car was
coupled to train which will carry him
to Chicago. From there he will make
the "trip to San Francisco by way of
St Paul, Winnipeg and the Canadian
Pacific. He will join the Davis boost
ers with the message from French
Lick that Democratic leaders here, al
though centered for the most part on
other candidates. are not in the least
hostile to the London cntrant in the
Presidential race.
The West Virginian said before leav-
ing; "If the convention approaches
the deadlock stage. look out for AM
hassa6or Davis. He has not been iden-
tilted with politics to such All extent
as to make any enemies, and it is his
type that the party needs most. We
have strong hopes that he will be nomi
mated and arc confident that if he is
honored he will sweep the country with
a splendid Democrat victory"

A Joke Well Played.

There was a ripple of 'oil excite
ment last week over the public WeIIrS
which is being put down on the square
near the courthouse, and for a little
while in was believed by some san
guine persons that the bit was rapidly
approaching a rich oil find. The
driller when down about 40 feet in 2
limestone rock mischievously conclud-
ed that he would perpetrate a little
joke on the public. He procured a
cup of oil which he poured into the
well, and after little while drew up
the deposit. This was submitted to
two Of the ril experts of the town.
One declared the sand indicated a
prospect for rich strike; the other
pronounced it "BeaVer Sand" the
technical meaning of which we do
not know, but in any event it indi-
Gated untold riches further down.

Railroad Officials Visit Columbia.

Among last weeks visitors here
were MeSsrs Hall Hagemeyer and G.
P. Hagemeyer, Of Cincinnati, O., the
former Vice President of the Oneida
and Western Railroad Co., now build
ing from Oneida, Tenn, in a North
westerly direction to a connection
with the L. s. N. system at or near
Greensburg or CampbellsyilIe. This
was the first visit of these gentlemen
to this section, and their coming at
this time was for the purpose of get
ting general idea Of the topography
of the territory in advance of surveys
to be started in the early future.
The line has already been completed
to a point near the headwaters of
Volt River, Pickett county, Tenn,
and is to be extended via Albany,
KY, and along the most feasible route
through the counties of Clinton, Rus
sell and Adair, and it would seem
that the logical conclusion to be
drawn is that such a route would pass
through Columbia. The HagemeysrS
have extensive coal and lumber inter
ests in the territory through which
the road passes, and they are vitally
interested in getting an outlet for
their products, and at the same time
reach stock and agricultural section
such as is found in the counties in
Kentucky through which the line is
to be built. After consulting with
Mr.. ]. N. Coffey and others here rela.
tive to the best routes through Adair,
and imparting the information that
their engineers would be in this Sec
tion at no distant date, the gentle
men left for Albany via Creelsboro.

the flames crept back little by little
Ito the mouth Of the well. A barrel of
the oil was shipped down the Cumber-
land River and through New Orleans
on to England with the avowed purpose
of having it analyzed by a British
chemist, but unfortunately it fell in
to the hands of parties who became
alarmed and suspicious at the dark,
oily, unfamiliar cargo, and it was
dumped overheard into the Atlantic.
Later on, however, when the fame of
petroleum as medicine began to
spread, it began to be commerciallzed
and it was put up in dark, half-pint
bottles, with the name American
Of1'' blown in them, and it was sold
everywhere at fifty cents a bottle.

A gas we'll of great capacity was
drilled in few days since near Saloma,
Taylor county, some ten miles out
from CampbellsVille, and while no
official test has been M ade of the pro-
duction still it is said to be one among
the largest gassers ever found in the
State of Kentucky. Both Campbells-
vile and Greensburg are already be-
ing supplied with gas from the Taylor
county fields. and this additional
strike naturally pleases the users of it
in that section.
