HARMONY FOR BOTH SIDES It will be recalled that shortly after the election, when it was seen that the democrats had almost taken away from the republicans control of both house and senate at Washington, seven distinguished democrats, among them three who had been candidates for president, the democratic national committee chairman and the chairman of the democratic national executive committee, as well as the house and senate minority leaders, issued a statement designed to. reassure the country and saying that there was no intention on the part of the democrats to antagonize any worthy policy or measure sponsored by the president, The opportunity now presents itself to the democrats in the house and senate to carry that program out by declining to be led into opposition to the president's measures Solely.

because they are the president's measures. We believe that there should be harmony in the enactment of relief legislation, in the effort to give employment to those who want to work. in the movement to aid the farmers with seeding loans, to aid labor of the country, skilled and unskilled, by the construction of public works and buildings. This is no time for patriots, whether they be in house or senate, or in the president's office at Washington, to play politics in petty differences details of a program which is regarded by everybody as necessary to the peace and happiness of the country. The Interior Journal hopes that no democrat will antagonize the president's measures for the relief of the farmer and workingman, but that both president and congress will approach these probleras in a friendly way and solve them soon to the good of their country.

THE REVOLT IN SPAIN Somehow we sympathize with King Alfonso, of Spain, in the threatened revolt of his people, which may materialize into another revolution that will remove another kingly crown from Europe's monarchies, if it does not remove another kingly head, as in the days of Louis XVI, of France. Spain has an unfortunate history. Great as an exploring and colonizing nation, she had wide territories in both of the Americas and in the islands of the Caribbean. These she lost, one after the other, through despotic rule or the natural tendency of the western peoples to achieve and assert their own independence.

The South American (and Central American countries, ico, Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, all were lost to Spain through misrule. It can hardly be said, however, that the rule of King Alfonso has been despotic. It has been, on occasion, necessary for temporary dictatorship to be established and the king has not been always fortunate in the type of adviser he selected, but since Spain abandoned Cuba and the Philippines and ceased attempting to govern widely distant colonies, the condition of the Spanish people has been by no means unhappy and the king deserves and has had up until recently the support of the law-abiding people of his realm. There are in Spain, however, as in other do not know that America is entirely free of them-a group of wild thinkers among college and university students, who have a tendency to wild demonstrations, which in turn have a tendency to encourage the unthinking and the criminal to actual revolt against constituted authority. This seems to be the situation in Spain at this time and dealing with it with a firm hand seems all that now is needed to restore order in Alfonso's kingdom.

Mrs. C. W.

Pendleton, now of Louisville, had charge of the big pipe organ and her efforts were enjoyed and appreciated. All of the program was fine, but especial mention, we think, should be made of the vocal trio of Misses Marietta Adams, Dora. Katherine Hill and Mr. Beverly Chancellor. Their "Christmas Song" was as beautiful as its rendition by the three young people was clever.

Rev. P. F. Adams, the pastor, preached a splendid sermon, his subject being "The Conquering Christ." The church was very well filled and the program was heartily enjoyed. A WORD TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS The Interior Journal has refrained from asking those of its subscribers who are behind on their paper to remit, because of the closeness of money matters, but now that a good deal of tobacco has been sold, it feels that it should receive at least a portion of the money due it.

So look at the little yellow slip on which your name: is printed and if your date is not Dec. 1930, or further on, please figure what you owe and send or bring us the money. We are not asking for a Christmas present, but for what is due us, and for what in many instances we have waited a long time. Christmas would be a good time to get squared with the world. Begin the effort by starting at the I.

J. office. VESPER SERVICES ENJOYED A large crowd enjoyed the Vesper Service at the Christian church Sunday and all "present feel under obligations to the Euterpean Club, which is responsible for it. The church was tastily decorated with evergreens, and many candles added to the beauty of the interior. of the auditorium.

Mrs. 0. W. Boatman, at the organ, gave evidence of her ability as both a soloist and an accompanist. The choruses were fine, the vocal solos most creditable, the reading of Mrs.

W. F. Lamb showed marked ability and the quartette fairly outdid itself. In fine, the whole entertainment was well worthy of the large audience present and the 1 splendid attention given. HELD IN $5,000 BOND EACH Jake Hamilton and Mrs.

Robert Martin, who were arrested on the charge of, having knowledge of the killing of Robert Martin, near Duncan, Casey county, were held in $5,000 to the grand jury. Hamilton had his examining trial at Liberty but Mrs. Martin waived hers. It was the verdict of the jury summoned by Magistrate Godsey that Martin came to his death by his use of his weapon. Wesley Martin, a brother of the deceased, swore out a warrant for Mrs.

Martin and Hamilton. BARN BURNS; HOME ROBBED The barn on Henry Shearin's place at Shelby City burned and while the fire was at its height his home was entered and robbed of valuables amounting to $300 or more. Like a sensible man, Mr. Shearin carried insurance. Is your barn insured? It is mighty dry and the chances are it would burn if it caught fire.

See the Wearen Insurance Co. and get a policy. 1t BIGGEST MAIL IN YEARS "Orn" Cook, who trucks the mail between postoffice and the depot, told this paper that mail of Monday morning was the heaviest in the -years he has been hauling mail. It took four big truck loads to move it from the depot. Postmaster Morgan says sale of stamps, is just a little off this year, but he believes today- and tomorrow will make up the slight deficiency.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SERVICE The congregation of the Presbyterian church advertised no special song service, but there were several choruses and quartettes that added greatly to the interest and enjoyment of the morning service. Rev. C. E. McLean, always interesting, was at his best, his sermon being considered by many as the strongest heard here in some time.

BARTELS' SALE TUESDAY Bear in mind that August Bartels will hold a sale at his home in the Preachersville section today, Tuesday, beginning at 10 A. rain or shine.

The state committee for Kentucky 'is composed of five members. Four of these members, including the chairman, were prasent at the meeting. The annual reports of the schools were revived by the central reviewing committee. This committee spent one and a half days checking these reports. Violations of the standards by the several schools were noted and these schools have been "advised" or "warned" as the violations of the standards indicated.

Under the new system of reviewing these blanks, you may expect hereafter a much more rigid inspection of the activities of your school. It gives me pleasure to notify you that your school was continued as a member of the Association, and that no standards were violated.

DEATH OF OKLAHOMA CITIZEN The following from the Herald-Post, Louisville, will be sad news to those of this county who knew the gentleman, who has just been called hence: "Mrs. E.

O. Werness left Louisville Friday for Okmulgee, to attend the funeral of her cousin's husband, Joseph M. James, 63, prominent hardware merchant, who died of heart trouble. Mr. James, a native of Glasgow, had been in Oklahoma twenty years.

William Robbins." GETTING WATER FROM STANFORD Mr. James I. Wilmot, who lives out on the Lancaster road some three or four miles, brought along a can when he came to town Saturday.

received the following dispatch from Mr. Tilden Cooper, of Asheville, N. at an early hour Monday morning: "Judge Wallace E. non passed away suddenly Sunday morning." The brief message brought sorrow to the many friends of the gentleman, whose earliest days were spent in Stanford and who was well known and beloved here. Judge Varnon moved to Asheville nearly a quarter of century ago and has done weli, standing high as an attorney and has been successful as a real estate dealer.

He probably had sold as much Asheville dirt as any other dealer of his city. Judge Varnon was a son of the late Judge Thomas W. Varnon, who was county judge of Lincoln for a term or two. When the writer came to ford many years ago the law firm of T. W.

and W. E. Varnon was a successful one and the services of father and son were sought in many counties of this section. Judge Wallace E. Varnon also was county judge for a term and his record as such was a creditable one.

He married Miss Sallie VanDeveer, daughter of the late Mayor D. W. VanDeveer, who survives. He also leaves a son, Attorney Thomas W. Varnon and a married daughter who was Miss Martha Varnon.

The dispatch did not state where Judge Varnon would be buried. This and further particulars of his life and death will be given in Wednesday's I. J. NAMES OF NEEDY WANTED The Welfare committee asks that the names of individuals and families in every section of the county who are in need of food, fuel and clothing, be given to Mr. W.

S. Riker at the K. 1 U. office, or to Miss Cummings, the health nurse, Again we make an urgent request for clothing of all kinds, and bedding for these unfortunate families. These articles may be left at the K.

U. office and will be distributed where there is the greatest need for them. The welfare committee has already given aid in several instances. The last assistance given was to a family of thirteen who were without food of any kind whatsoever. The- spirit of the Christmas season will mean little to any of us if we tail to share our blessings with those less fortunate than we.

MARRIED IN JUNE, BUT KEPT SECRET It was not known until a few days ago that Dr. Nita Chadwick and Mr. Frank Anderson were husband and wife. They were married last summer, but chose to keep the matter secret? It leaked out, however, when they made a deed to the property the former sold to Mrs. W.

H. Shanks. It is rather late for congratulations, but this paper congratulates Mr. Anderson and wishes for him and his all the good things that can come their way. Stanford can boast of at least one lady who can keep a secret-Mrs.

Anderson -who confided to no one news of her marriage. NO NEED OF WORRY Prohobitionists need not be disturbed over Judge Clark's decision invalidating the Eighteenth Amendment, The record of the Supreme Court shows that the amendment is in no danger from that tribunal as now As for the wets, they will not be seriously concerned about the outcome of the case. Intelligent wets wish to see national prohibition abolished on its merits, or demerits, not on a legal IN HONOR OF MRS. JAMES H. WOODS The D.
