FIFTY THIRD WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY TODAY

Today Peter GEeenwade, aged rs
years, and his wife, 72 years old, are
celebrating their fifty-third wedding
anniversary. The menu is made up
from farm products, home-cured
hams, choice lamb, vegetables and
fruits being of Mr.. Greenwade's rails
ing, and, prepared by his daughters,
are as toothsome as they can be.
The well-fattened chickens and tur-
keys were prepared according to cul-
mary art and were delightful. The
cakes were great and delightful, as
were also the frozen natural cream.
Every item was from the farm and
garden and was prepared by daugh-
ters and granddaughters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Greenwade we're
never happier and the crowd about
them, sons and their wives, daugh-
ters and their husbands, grandchil-
dren, friends and neighbors compos-
ing the happy gathering.
We only wish we could have re-
sponded favorably to Mr.. Green
wade's urgent invitation. but having
been out of sorts physically for the
past few days, our doctor thought we
would be risking much. This happy
honored couple has our best wishes
for many happy returns. We like
these occasions and the invitations
are joyfully received, even though we
are forced to answer with regrets.
Happy here and blissful over there"

JOHNSON

Hiram johnson is a declining fig
ure. The test of his sincerity came
when the vote was reached on the
unseating of Senator Newberry for
spending too much money in the
Michigan primaries.
Johnson's great issue a year be-
fore had been sanctity of popular
nominations. Yet when he had an
opportunity to speak and act against
brazen, even though foolish, at
tempt to buy a nomination, he was
rushing across the continent-arriv-
ing after the vote had been taken.
The absence from the roll call and
the theatrical attempt to make it ap-
pear accidental was typical. Johnson
had won the Michigan primaries in
the national campaign of 1920 The
delegates were in control of Newber-
ry's political friends. They remained
firm for Johnson throughout the bal
loting. Johnson avoided voting
against their leader, although his
principles required that he should
lead the fight for his unseating.

MORE POWER TO HARRISON

The New York Herald, Republican
in politics, says:
When the wool producing states
men confess pecuniary interests in
the wool schedules they say they are
within their rights and sneer solemn
ly at any suggestion that private in
terest enters into their legislative
action. And when oil senators con-
fess personal interest in a 35-cent
tariff on crude petroleum, as Senator
Harreld, of Oklahoma, did, you get
the reply that they are within their
rights" in voting for the duty.
1t is high time there should be
clearly established the principle that
it is not within a senator's or a rep
resentative's rights to vote on ques
tions or for measures in which he has
a direct personal interest, big or lit
tie. The needed illuminant will be
afforded by record vote in the SEN
ate on Senator Harrison's searching
resolution affirming the just rule in
Jefferson's Manual and the common
law of congress for a century and a
third. Naturally there is every dis
position among profteering states
men to block the progress of the res
olution toward a record vote. There
is no justification, legal, moral or per-
sonal, for such an attitude. Let Pat
Harrison hammer away. The New
York Herald is for him in this mat
ter because it believes he has the
discernment, the wit and the cour-
age to make the fight, and it does
not care a continental for the cir
that he is a Democrat

HAZARD OPERATORS
SEND TELEGRAMs


On August rs, Chairman Cyde b.
Aitchison, of the Interstate Com

stated to the senate committee that
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
is supplying cars to Eastern Ken.
lucky 180 per cent, as compared to
the pre-coal strike period. The Haz-
ard operators, knowing that car sup
ply in Eastern Kentucky is less than
% per cent, Immediately called Mr..
Aitchison's attention to his mistake
in the following telegram, sent from
Lexington August 90:
Newspaper reports quote you as
giving the impression to the United
States senate committee and to the
public that the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad is supplying coal cars
to Eastern Kentucky 180 per cent as
compared to the pre-coal strike per-
iod.
IF any division has during this
year functioned that way and the coal
price rose from below cost of pro-
duction, where it had been for a year,
il was due entirely to the union coal
miners strike.
Facts are available to you show
ing that car supply has been less
than 30 per cent since the railroad
strike began, and in fairness to the
operators we request you to correct
your error
we state unreservedly that reas-
enable restoration of railroad per-
foramnce, coupled with the operation
of all union and non-union mines.
will quickly settle the entire coal
problem.
Your commission has a real op-
portunity to serve the public by COM
pelling the Louisville and Nashville
railroad to equally distribute cars
and thus stop further adding to its
vast storage pile, of coal"
The following telegram, which also
was signed by the Hazard Coal Op-
ertors' Association, was sent to Sen
ators Stanley and Ernst and to each
of the eleven Representatives in con-
gress from Kentucky:
Kentucky coal operators are look
ing to our representatives to state
the facts touching our industry when
the proposed coal bills are before you
tomorrow. The effort to fix the coal ,
price under the present 26 per cent
car supply is manifestly unfair.
The coal problem, now that the
coal strike is settled, is strictly a
railroad problem, and all efforts
should be directed that way
Pressure for price control comes
from consumers, including railroads
and public utilities, who refused to |
purchase in March and April at fig |
ures below the cost of production.
Lake coal shippers now crying
for coal at a fixed price effected a
tight combination this past spring
and refused to purchase even one
tenth the normal amount OF coal at
below cost of production, forcing
Eastern Kentucky mines to remain
idle in the usual lake coal shipping
season, and we are reliably inform
ed that goodly portion of the coal
that was sent to the head of the
akes this past spring was reloaded

last day, Clara shot to death the man she
had been living with, and there was a
difference of opinion among the citizens
OF the State as to whether Clara should
have been turned loose without punishment

Among those who thought that Hamon

Hamon was no child and she knew exactly
what she was doing and took the chance
of being cast aside sooner or later when
1t suited the convenience OF her lover
Under the circumstances, 1t seemed to the
Rev Mr.. Irwin that 1t was rather rough
on Mr. HamOn to be shot to death by the
enraged and disappointed sweetheart.
So Mr.. Irwin, when he preached the
funeral service over the oil magnate, made
some comments on the situation, and said
that II Hamon didn't go to heaven no man
had a chance for salvation. This firm stand
OF the pastoE sowed the seeds of dissen.
sion in his church. The congregation was
divided into two groups-those who agreed
with the pastors attitude on the Hamon
killing and those who thought that Clara

Whether II was the act Of Clara IIamon

in Tulsa, Okla, is opposed to divorce and

Rev Mr.. Irwin insists that he was
