Every dollar less than one thousand for liquor license is a concession to the brewery Interests, against which the present strong anti-liquor sentiment is very largely directed. Kvery one of the thousands of saloons planted by brewing companies in Chio, Indiana and Illinois by proocy, are law violating saloons, according to the statutes of these states. Breweries multiplied saloons wherever rooms could be found until they became a pest to the communities and have demoralized the legitimate trade. Ohio spoke first, with a thousand dollar license and has reduced the number of saloons to something near normal. Chicago followed with the same figure and similar results followed. The low, che-ip, tough divs have, as a rule, disappeared. More ironey affords far better regulation ana the saloon is kept under better restraint. Between these o fields stands Indiana, where the breweries are shipping their fixtures, using the names of anybody who will consent, but. using these saloons as distribut'ng depots for thair pioduct, regard.ess of law or the effect they have on t..e community. Connersville has had its share of object lessons in this regard. The Brewing interests have already expressed their acquiescences in an increased license rate and would regard a moderate increase a substantial victory. If there are any good reasons why Indiana's license should be less than that of . Ohio or Chicago, we believe it should be made known before the legislators vote on the matter. Connersville News.

Governor Ilanly had a great deal to say to the people's representatives and took the time necessary to say It. Yet one will look in vain for a dull passage or a surplus sentence. It tells a straightforward story In a fearless way, dealing with the multiplied subjects in which the public has a vital Interest. The key note of all that the Governor says, however, is that the people who pay all bills are mutually entitled to the blessings of good government as against any kind of special interest that gives any one individual more than his share of rights and privileges. After all it is a mere going back to the first principles on which our whole scheme of government is founded. It is a good, a great message, and it is so accepted, generally, though the lobyists that swarm about the legislative halls may be able to point out what they may designate weak places. Connersville News.

At last the oft-anticipated retirement of George B. Cortelyou as chairman of the republican national committee is an accomplished fact, and Vice Chairman Harry S. New becomes, by designation of the retiring chairman, the acting chairman of the national committee. There is nothing in the position except the honor of it, and it is not in evidence that Capt. New sought even that, but his many friends at home and abroad will be pleased with the news of his preferment, and they will have scant patience with members of the committee whose political ambition mayprompt them to scheme to rob him of the well-earned distinction.

A nine year old boy, the son or a prominent man of this city, has announced his views on bringing up children in the way they should go In a' rather unique composition on "Walloping" and other punishments. He writes: "When you ever get children, don't wallop 'em all the time. Parents learn that children are human untilthey grow up. Don't you think it would be lots nicer to reason with them than to wallop them? You will spoil your children by walloping. They will be mean to other people. It is better not to whip them and leave them grow up with some decency in them. If they ever have children you will set them on the same idea from which most of us do. I should think that the parents ought to know better than to whip their children before they will reason with them. It will just spoil them all the worse. If you put a rotten apple with a lot of good ones it will spoil every one of them, and so the same with children. Now you take it for an instance that I have cut the wagon tongue in two. Well, I didn't know any better. I was only a little boy before I knowed it was wrong to. Would it be right to whip me. I think it would be wrong. If the boy was big enough so he knowed better he would deserve, a whipping, but will always find that reasoning Is better than whipping,' and so take my advice under a good many things that your children do and you will find that this Is a better way than they used to do in olden times. If you got whipped or walloped when you was a boy or girl and got the life whaled out of you Is it any reason for you to do it to your children. That Is not my idea at all. And don't make your children do Just like you used to have to. Couldn't go to school; your parents thought more of a dollar than they did of your education. Is it right to be that way with your chil dren. You say, no, it is very wrong. Then why do you do it? When your children do some thing that they oughn't to do don't go and pull down a strap and take them ever your knee and then in a minute there will be a ki-yi and then you take pity on him and say, 'don't cry. It was too bad, but next time you won't be so bad.' "Well, wouldn't it be better to take reason and the next time your child does anything out of the way you don't like them to do think of this chapter and It will be interesting In this case. "While I am not a boy that gets many wallopings, I take pity for others though, who do get it." Sheibyville Republican.

tTublishers' Press.J " Boise, Ida., Jan. 12. In the Bonse Representative Seawell (Dem.) offered a joint resolution reciting: "Whereas, the president of the United States, taking advantage of his high office, has, through his official message, and in threatening language, declared his antagonism to the citizens of California on the oriental school question; be It resolved, that we express our confidence in the judgment, fairness and patriotism of our fellow citizens of the state of California, and that for the best Interests of both Japanese and Americans, it is desirable that the Japanese be excluded from this country in the same way and to the same extent that the .Chinese are excluded."

tPublishers Press.J Washing'to, ,,. 12. Secretary Root announced that he will leave Washington Jan. 27 for Ottawa, Canada, to visit Earl Grey, governor general of Canada; He -will be accompanied by Mrs. Root. He said his visit is purely social and has nothing to do with the international treaty pending between Great Britain and the United States.

London, Jan. 12. The approaching visit of Secretary Root to Earl Grey, governor general of Canada, elicits favorable comment by officials and in the British press. The opinion expressed is that the visit foreshadows better relations between the United States and Canada, which were considerably improved as the result of the governor general's tour of the United States last year. While it is

stated that Root's visit is purely courtesy, the impression here is that it will afford an opportunity to go over long pending controversies between Canada and the United States, and perhaps smooth the way for a general agreement.

Washington, Jan. 12. There , Is a strong growing belief that William II. Taft, when he lays aside the duties of Secretary of War, will not do so

for the purpose of entering into the scramble for the Presidency. This statement is made in spite of the fact that Secretary Taft only a few days ago declared he was in a receptive mood so far as the nomination was concerned. It is now openly declare! that this public statement was made for t!n- ir-ie rf tcrcing the timl of Senator Foraker and others who are said to be attempting to effect a combine against the administration's control of the next convention. Mr. Taft, according to well-defined reports has his eye on the Supreme bench and

entertains an ambition to succeed

Chief Justice Fuller, whoso resignation is expected at an early day. At the time Secretary Taft refused the offer of the ermine, which later went to Attornty General Mood v. it was openly reported that all of his ambitions lay in that direction, bat that he v.aa determined to remain at his post until the Cuban embroglio was settled, the Philippine matter straiqhtene'l out and the Panama Canal, which comes under the jurisdiction of his

Publishers Press J Jackson, Ky., Jan. 12. The situation here is quiet. Many feudists left town to remain until Tuesday, when the case of Judge James Hargis will be reopened, unless Judge Carnes is permanently enjoined from trying the case. It is almost certain that troops will be sent here to preserve peace when the trial opens. Captain C. W. Longmire of battery A of Frankfort was notified to have his men in readiness to come to Jackson at the shortest notice, in anticipation of another

call for militiamen from there, and the

company at Lexington is ready to start at any time, the men reporting regularly at their armory. It develops that simultaneously

from the South." "How many? A dozen. All right! "One, two, three, four. You know we make a specialty of bananas, five, six, s-s-s-sev-wow-wow" all this from Morry as an eighteen inch banana snake gracefully uncurled itself from under the fruit and lovingly slid down his arm. The clerk turned as pale as the proverbial ghost, while the women on whom he was waiting, cut loose with a wild yell that set the clerks and customers in the store to flight. Morry recovering, killed the serpent, which was yellow in color, while its stomach was perfectly white. The head was vicious, while a little cap, button shape, surmounted the crown.

great commercial organizations have

been hauled into court on the charge of exploiting the public has aroused

a dangerous feeling of animcsity toward all forms of corporate wealth. The fact that the laws are sulf'cieut to cope with these big producing agencies, instead of lending confidence to the public that its rights ai-e safe, seems to have stirred up a feeling of enmity against all thee ngencies. The honestly conducted corporation is a powerful agency for fccod as the administration has proved by the last report of the department of Commerce and Labor In which it is shown that the country's exports have reached $700,000,000 a 'figure never attained before.
