No communication I have address ed to the Congress carried with it a graver or more far-ieaching implica tions as to the intere of the country. I have come to ask vou for the repeal ot that provision of the Panama Canal Act of August 24, 1912, which exempts vessels engaged in the coastwise trade ot the United States from payment of tolls and to urge upon you the justice, the wisdom, and the large policy of such a repeal with the utmost earnest ness of which I am capable. I ask this of you in support of the foreign policy of the Administration. 1 shall not know how to deal with other matters with greater delicacy and nearer con sequence if you do not grant it to me in ungrudging measure." A bill was very promptly introduced in Congress to carry into eirect the Administration's urgent request and after due time for debate a vote was taken and every member of Congress from Kentucky voted to uphold the Democratic Administration and the President's recommendation, except Caleb Powers, John Langley, Republi cans, and Harve Helm of this District. But we find our worthy contemporary and good friend, Mr. Louis Landram, of the Danville Messenger, commend ing Mr. Helm for his vote as follows; "Without entering into the merits of the Panama Exemption Repeal Bill, we beg to say, as President did, that it is debatable. Therefore, no censure should attach to any Congressman for the position he took on the question. Tills is especially true of those who were in the minority, for they certainly did not seek the favors or good will of any one, but acted in accordance with their best judgment, the dictate of conscience and were true to the oath of office." Mr. Helm is in congress by the grace of the Democratic party ard for him to dally when the President thinks the administration is facing a crisis, and to desert when the party is in peril, may not be deserving censure out we opine that both congressman Helm and broth er Landram have a job to convince the democrats of the district to the con trary. How great the open censure will be against Congressman Helm for this vote by the Democrats of this District is yet to be observed, but we feel justi fied in saying that when our present representative again submits his claim to the people for support he will see that Democrats will prefer to have a representative in Congress who can present the side of this debatable question w ith ther.pprcval of conscience as requested by the President, and ap proved by the entire Democratic dele gation in Congress from our State, in cluding our popular Senator, Ullie M. James. The Democrats of the Eighth Dis trict, w.ll likiiy prefer a representative whose judgment is more in accord with the Piesident's and whose judgment and conscience does not lead in the path of Caleb Powers and John Lanjrley. The suggestions made by Congressman Helm, that he is being congratulated by the Democrats of this Distiict upon his vote against the Administration's policy, puts in issue, in a way, whether the party of this District will take its stand with Congressman Helm or ap prove the course of the Administration. He may not be censured for his vote, we will be surprised if he is not for taking the latter step, and we will wait to hear from our neighbor upon the latter proposition. OPT. A. T. ANDERSON. Captain A. T. Anderson is suffering from a severely wrenched shoulder oc casioned from a fall which he recently received.

The reception was in the form of a book shower, each guest being requested to bt ing a book, which resulted in 7S handsome volumns being added to the library. The mem bers are deeply grateful to the happy way in which so many responded. The guests felt that a book was a small exchange in lieu of such a delightful evening spent. CHILDREN HURT WHEN SCHOOL WAGON Turns Over Near Buena Vista. AFTER HELM'S TOGA FORMER SUPPORTER NOW SEEKS DEFEAT OF CONGRESSMAN. Mr. Shelton Saufley of the Interior Journal was in Danville Monday shak ing hands with the Democratic voters. Although a former friend and warm supporter of Congressman Helm he is now very much opposed to the return of the present Congressman again to Washington to represent this District. He thinks it an easy thing to beat Helm and has had sufficient encourage ment himself to get the Ccngressional bee in his own bonnet. He says that Helm is very unpopular in Lincoln County and that he will get a majority of the votes in his home County if he decides to run. His announcement will probably be made in a few days. The candidacy of Mr. Saufley will be a surprise to many people because it has been generally understood that Helm and Saufley were very warm friends. While it is not generally known, it is thought that Helm's failure to support the administration in the Panama Toll Repeal Bill has caused the breach be tween them. One of the handsome new wagons employed by the new Consolidated School at Buena Vista turned over on Tuesday injuring several of the children, one of them severely. The wagon was in charge of Mr. Wilbur Scott and when descending a steep hill one of the lines broke and the wagon overturned upon reaching a culvert. Twelve children were in the wagon at the time, and all but two were injured, none severely however, except a little daughter of Mr. Marshall Scott, who received a severelv fractured shoulder. Dr. Elliott was summoned from Lan caster and ministered to the little suf ferer and she is getting along nicely, though yet confined to her bed. Dr. Montgomery was also called from Bryantsville and the bruises of the other children were given attention and they were all able to go to thpir homes. But for the presence of mind and bravery of Mr. Scott the driver, the accident might have proven much more severe. The wagon was badly damaged. The President has made every reason able effort to avoid complication with the defacto goverment of Mexico. But Huerta and his followers have exhaust ed the patience of the President and committed all sorts of unpardonable of fense's against our Government. The Administration has handled this matter with its characteristic wisdem and caution. While some have thought the Present could, have actd more hastily, .but since .the turn of t events his present actions now have the ap proval of all parties in this nation and if we must go to war with Mexico we have the sympathy and co-operation of the nations of the world, The United SAUFLEY FOR CONGRESS Frankfort Dispatch Says That Shelton Saufley, Of Stanford, Will Probably Enter Race Against Helm. The following interesting dispatch trom Frankfort appeared in the Louis ville Herald. "Interesting gossip of Congressional politics in the Eighth District was brought to the capital taday by several prominent politicians of that district who came to the State House on de partment business. "According to the report they brought the opposition to the re-election of Con gressman Harvey Helm is about to center en Shelton M. Saufley, editor of the Interior Journal at Stanford, and formerly a newspaper man of Frank fort, as the proper man with whom to defeat Helm. Stanford is in Lincoln, Helm's home county, and according to the prediction the Democrats made here today, Saufley is the only man in the district who can beat Helm in his home county and carry the lower tier of counties in the Eighth, composed of Adair, Casey, Boyle, Garrard, Lincoln, Mercer and Madison. "Saufley's popularity in his home county is said by the men here today to be due to the record he made as a member of the Lower House of the recent session of the General Assem bly, when he fathered and led the suc cessful fight for a change in the road engineer s law. His elforts and vote against the Glenn insurance bill also made him many friends at home and in and in other counties of the district, according to the Democrats, as well as his great work as chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations in giving the recent Legislature the rec ord of having been the most economical that has met in Kentucky in the past score of years. According to the Eighth District men here opposition to the re-election of Helm has developed all over the Eighth District since he chose to align himself with Caleb Powers and John Langley, the two Republican members of Con gress from Kentucky in opposition to President Wilson's Canal Toll Repeal bill. "The men who were here today said that Eighth District Democrats do not relish the fact that theirs was the only member of the lower house of Congress who deserted the President at such a critical period in his administrative program. They said that if a candidate would make a fight for the nomination on such grounds he would defeat Helm overwhelmingly. "Saufley's paper, the Interior Jour nal, was the first country paper in Ky, to espouse the cause for the nomination of Wilson at Baltimore, and opponents of Helm say that on a' platform of en dorsement or non endorsement of the President, the present Congressman will find the Democrats of his district overwhelmingly against him and in favor of the President".

There is perhaps not a town situated as Lancaster, in Kentucky, that makes as steady and as healthy growth as that city. On a little jerk water branch of the L & N, with no opposition as to rates, compelled to obtain every com modity by that one rail line, with no other outlet save that to depend upon for distributing the bountiful products of the surrounding county to the mar kets ot the world, yet Lancaster man ages to maintain an air of thrift equal led by few and surpassed by no town of its size in this section of the state. Our shops are replete with as com plete and up-to-date wares as may be found in Lexington or even more pre tentious towns, the prices asked for the wares compare favorably with those asked other places, and when you laKe in to consiueration the cost ot a trip trom nome to another market, you will find that "shopping at home" is far more satisfactory as well as eco nomical to Lancaster and Garrard county people. Nor does the restraints as to trans portation facilities placed upon Lan caster seem to retard its growth; it is true there is no boom in Lancaster, but a good steady, healtny growth is al ways to be observed. Among the recent additions to the business interests of the town may be mentioned a bottling works, a garage, several stores and with many other enterprises in course of construction or under consideration. These enterprises are not attracted bv "exemption from taxation" for any period, free building sites or such inducements as are ordi narily offered for the building up of progressive towns, but are attracted solely by the requirements of and the advantages offered by the town. If the possibilities of the place, with out the cooperation of a well organized and working Commercial organization, such as every well regulated town should have, attracts these enterprises, what might be expected of Lancaster, were her advantages given the proper amount of advertisement to the out side world. In one of the richest and most pro ductive counties of the state, with soil unsurpassed for fertility, not alone in Kentucky but throughout the world. witn a record lor growing a greater multiplicity of crops, and growing them good, than nearly any other section of the country, why should we not htve a good town? Wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, alfalfa and the various varieties of hay, hemp and tobacco, splendid pastures, a good live stock country; good turnpikes traversing the entire county, and all to feed the county seat, why then we ask. should not Lancaster be a good town? And last but Ly no means least, we have what goes more toward the success of a community than anything else, we have a generous, kind hearted people, typical Kentuck- lans, lavish with the much vaunted southern hospitality, ready to welcome the stranger with open arms, to make his stay among U3 a pleasant one, or if perchance he comes to locate perman ently, to make him forget his old as sociations, and to make his new envir onments so pleasant as to make him wish he might spend the remainder of his days in old Garrard We were about to forget the greatest inducement which we have to offer in Garrard county, our educational facili ties. We state, and without fear of contradiction, that there is not a county in the state which surpasses Garrard in the educational facilities which we offer; one of the best Graded Schools to be found anywhere in Lancaster, and two Consolidated Graded Schools in other parts of the county, with the numerous county schools being kept up to the very highest possible standard, there is absolutely no reason why any resident of the county should be com pelled to send their children away from home in order to secure an education. Mr. James Clark who has been ap pointed County Road Engineer for Garrard coiinty, richly deserves the position. He is a democrat of the un swerving stamp, and for many years has helped to fight his party s buttles in the county without hope of pecuniary reward, has never sought of fice and the one to which he has just been appointed his solicitation. Mr. Clark is a practical farmer, has lived in the country all of his life, and is not only conversant with the needs of the road3 of the county, but he is well qualified to attend to those needs. He is a gentleman of the highest integrity a popular gentleman and the county is to be congratulated upon securing his services.
