MOONSHINER'S CONVICTION.

Under the statutes Of Ken.
lucky there is a standing reward
for $50 to be paid by the county
in which the arrest is made. for
any information furnished the
officers leading to the arrest and
conviction of any person owning
or operating moonshine still in
in the State of Kentucky. This
offer will be found under section
2572 C, of the revised statutes,
page 563, volume 3.
In order to earn this reward it
is not necessary for the inform
ant to accompany the officers
but merely give the information
which will lead to the arrest and
of the guilty party or
parties. This section of the
statutes enables the lawabiding
citizens to help the officers to
run down illicit stills.

Some weeks ago Mr.. C.. G..
Jeffries entered the race for
County Judge on the Independ-
ent ticket. AS every one knows,
Mr.. Jeffries has always been a
staunch Democrat and the Dem
ocrats should get behind him
now and do all they can to elect
him. Mr.. Jeffries was county
Jailer for four years and did
good, satisfactory work in that
capacity. If he is elected we
believe he will do all in his pow
er to keep whisky out of Colum-
bia and Adair Co., and the good
men and women of Adair should
not forget that when they go to
the polls in November, for it
will take a long, hard fight to
put whisky out of the county,
while there is so much moon
shine being made in Kentucky.
A County Judge who hates
whisky as Mr.. Jeffries does,
would be great help in that
direction.

will Open Tonight.

Final arrangements are being
completed for the opening of the
Democratic Campaign in Louis
vile Tuesday evening. Chair
man Ben S. Washer of the
Speakers Bureau, who has charge
of arrangements has -announc-
ed that the doors of the Gypsy
Smith Tabernacle will be thrown
open promptly at 7::30 o'clock.
John G. Doolan, Chairman of
the Democratic City and County
Executive Committee, will pre-
side and at 8 o'clock will call the
meeting to order. W. Overton
Harris, candidate for Mayor, will
deliver the keynote speech.
He will outline the method upon
which the Democrats of Louis
vile will conduct their campaign
in the mayorality and other con-
tests to be waged this fall.
W. W. Davies, Judge James P.
Gregory and others will be heard.
A woman speaker, who is yet to
be selected, will be announced
later.
The opening Will be attended
by big delegations of the Feder-
sted Democratic Clubs of Louis
vile and Jefferson County.
These clubs are making plans to
take a conspicuous part in the
meeting. 1t has not yet been de-
cided whether or not the clubs
will march from their respective
headquarters to the Tabernacle.
Frank Hartman. president, says
that the clubs can be formed in
to line on short notice, but that
owing to the fact that parades
move slowly, some of the men,
bers object to marching on this
occasion because it has been
found impossible to reserve seats
in the Tabernacle, and that the
"boys" do not want to miss any
part in the opening of the cam
paign which is going to mean so
much to Louisville.
According to Chairman DOdd
of the Campaign Committee no
vice presidents will be selected
but all Democrats, men and Wo-
men, have been chosen as vice
presidents and are urged to at
tend the opening.

Fourth and Fifth Wards had

Recessing Republican Con-
gressmen have found one spot
hotter, than Washington, and
that is Home. According to the
Washington correspondent of
the New York World, "they are
coming back to Washington as
fast as trains can rum" after on
ly two weeks of the recess per-
iod. "The reason is that they
got too warm a reception at
home. The folks wanted to
know generally why the admin
istration had been six months
doing none Of the big things
promised, and how it felt to be a
Congressman and taking rest
at such a time. "One Republi-
can who is back on the job," the
correspondent continues, went
home to spend at least a month.
He stood the gaff just three
days. He told some of his COL
leagues the situation politically
was serious. The folks back
home are hot he said. They
besieged me with questions the
whole time l was there. 1"
From other sources also it is
learned that wherever the Re-
publican recessing Congressman
went their constituents present
ed them with the Voters Ques-
tionnaire For Republican Con-
gressmen," recently published
and that many of them found
it much more comfortable in
WASHINGTON than at home.

The statisticians of Massachu-
setts have figured it out that the
State paid during the last calen-
dar year in Federal, State, coun-
ty and municipal taxes the enor-
nous sum of 443 million dollars.
This is a per capita tax of $115.
Of this the Federal government
got $68 and the remaining SAT
went to local purposes, includ.
ing State taxes. This is heavy
taxation; a per capita of $115.
But it must be remembered that
Massachusetts is a rich State,
and her people own a large
amount of property, scattered all
over the country. Massachu-
setts does not pay all the tax

You often hear a person say
when he is en- route for some
particular place, Il am going
back to Gods country" We
would like to know where that
place is for the reason, Judging
from reading the daily papers,
that murder and thievery is con.
stantly going on in all sections
Of the country, and but little
punishment is meeted out to the
law breakers. Banks are being
robbed daily, the bandits escap'
ing with the swag, and the Of
fense of numbering a man or a
woman is given but little thought.
Is the place that our friend
wants to reach Gods country OF
the devils? If it is the latter,
he is hear in all his glory. If
you escape him you will have to
take passage to the Celestial
City. where a good God reigns.

A Paris newspaper prints an
interesting review by a French
staff officer of the fighting be-
tween the Greeks and the Turks
in Asia Minor, and the writer
highly extolls the courage and
tenacity of the Turkish soldiers.
The Turk is a frst-class fighting
man; there can be no doubt
about that. And it is curious
that a man who can fight so
hard at a time when the skies
are so dark is such a failure in
other capacities. The Turk can
fight, but he cannot govern. In
this he is, however, not as unique
as might be supposed. The
Spaniards who conquered Gen.
tral and South America could
fight magnicently, but they
made sad botch of governing.

Railroad Rates.

- For the first time since the govern
ment took charge of the railroads four
years ago special holiday rates are an
nounced for this Christmas. How
ever, the practice has been in disuse
go long that the roads and schools both
acted without consulting each other,
and as result very few of the stu
dents and teachers will get any bene-
fit from the rates. 1t is generally
supposed to be for their special bene-
fit, but most of the colleges and high
schools closed last week and the rates
did not go into effect until this week.
If the old custom is to be revived those
interested should arrange to get to-
gether next year.

Harvey's Minstrels.

Mr.. r. NJ. Harvey, the proprietor
and manager of the Harvey Greater
Minstrels who come to the Victory
Theatre, on Monday, December 26th
was for years the general manager Of
one of Americas well known circus,
and left it to devote his time and at
tention to his minstrel show, and
shortly after that the circus he was
connected with met with a serious
railroad accident, in which n number
of performers and circus attaches lost
their lives, and reports said the great
loss was due mainly to the wooden
cars in which the people travelled, and
it caused Mr.. Harvey to place an order
with the Pullman people to build him
two all steel cars, and have no wood
work whatever used in the construc-
ton, even the floors being concrete.

Will the Christmas tree be relegat-
ed to the obsolete? Increasing cost
of the tree points that way, and con
yiction is growing that it is poor ma
tional economy to cut and to use fol
day a tree which required thirty
years to produce. Yet, can the tree
produce more pleasure in any other
use?
There are many millions of young
trees suitable for Christmas trees
which should be cut out of too dense
stands, in order that the remaining
trees may better thrive. In thicket
of Lodgepole Pine during the past
summer the writer cut out at the rate
per acre of 5000 trees twenty-five
years old, just the right size for
Christmas trees, leaving 500 trees per
acre spaced between seven and eight
feet apart.
If this operation could have been
done during the first half of Decemb-
er, what a quantity of Christmas trees
would have resulted! The product of
the Trimmings would have yielded a
profit over the cost of the work, and
the remaining stand none the less
would be benefited thru being freed
from crowding.
christmas trees should be cut as
by-product in forest culture" says
w. J. Morrill, of the Colorado Agricul-
ture College, "but the owner or the
manager of the forest should be the
judge of what should be removed. You
or have no right to enter any forest,
private or public, and remove Christ
mas tree.
"This is particularly true in our
mountain parks or in sight of mountain
roads. Let the owner of the forest
harvest his own trees and market
them. And let 1t be hoped that the
cwner possesses knowledge Of cut
ting young trees so as to leave the
stand in better condition for develop
ment than before"
