The Messenger announces that Will
Howard thinks Leavenworth, Ind, the
most beautiful town on the Ohio. AS
parallels suggest analogi.,s to explain the
things of life so there is something like
an explanation needed here to demon
strate. Why?
heard an individual remark few
days ago that "she couldn't see why some
parents considered iii necessary to keep
their daughters in school 80 long" SHE
said: "With boys who expect to follow a
profession it amounts to something, but
anyhow these girls, or boys either, who
90 off to school don't make any more
show than others who have less advan-
tages. Is making show of ones attain
ments the ultumatum of life? Allow me
to say, and say with emphasis, that an
education in this day and age is para
mount to anything else and that in any
honest, earnest employment it is almost
essential. Let us enter a loud protest
against an education that would cause
our young people to endeavor to make
show or parade of their knowledge. An
education, on the contrary, is intended
with common sense combined) as min
istry OF culture to the place in which we
live. This alone marks the "pure waters
of learning" An education that sufficed
thirty years ago will not meet the de-
mands Of today. AS to our girls-more
is expected of them than ever before
along this line. An educated girl, when
she emerges from the scho broom, does
not think for an instant she can afford to
stand still; much more awaits her in the
life-work she is now expected to take up.
She doesn't find it in mere society and
she soon realizes it; but in the manifold
duties of life at home, in her church and
social obligations to reasonable extent,
and if she isn't better daughter, more
conscientious wife and better fitted to be
at the head OF her own establishment,
then her education is a sham, fraud,
and her fathers money is mispent. The
love of fiction seems to be natural TO the
human race and as all young people
should read / can see no objection to the
love of fiction, always provided that it be
good and pure fiction, which often lifts
us above our humdrum surroundings and
chases away dull care" Still, more
substantial, solid reading at the close of
school days sustains more vigorous in
tellect and better fits one for the stern
realities ofli But, oh! ] would beseech
every boy and every girl in this land to
seek an education, not classical perhaps,
but thorough, sound English educa-
ton, and then take up a course of read
ing il practical and admissible with your
occupation and surroundings

The following from the Danville Adyo-
cate, staunch and reliable Democratic
paper published at distance remote
enough to have no direct interest in the
matter whatever, only as it affects the
Democratic party shows pretty well the
feeling OF the masses OF Democrats in re-
gard to Mr.. Richardson's actions. 1t
says:
"Gus Richardson, not content with the result
of the rimary as shown by the returns, filed
notice It contest. The board to which his
claims were submitted has decided that Mr..
Rcha' ison was fairly beaten by Jack Gross, his
opponr Il, and that Gen. Gross is the Democratic
nomin for State Senator from the district.
IIayini been defeated before the people and be-
fore III eontesting board, it does seem that Mr..
Richar son should be satisfied, but, IL reports
are tru he is not. II is understood that he will
now al peal to the courts and thus to the detrment
Of the democratic party, and without any posi-
bic be- fit to himself,keep alive the controversy,
Mr.. ri harrison will gain sympathy and
be hello in higher esteem If he drops the matter
entirely"

1HE frequency OF railroad wrecks and
the los of life occasioned by them is be-
coming alarming. Within the past few
weeks there has been two wrecks of
passenger trains on one of the largest
system of roads in the country, wherein
several people were killed instantly and
a largs number injured. Somebody is
responsible for it, and public attention
should not be diverted from it 80 easily,
without first a thorough investigation.
The responsibility that att ches TO rail-
road managers and their employers as TO
the safety OF human life on their trains
concerns majority OF the public and is
a thing that should not be treated lightly
Railroads now are the principle means
OF public travel, and II it were possible
for persons that travel on them TO know
that those in charge OF trains were using
the wisest precaution as to their security
and safety, there would be more solid
comfort in a journey these days. But
the fact is, this is too often secondary
matter. Day in and day out, trains load
ed with precious human lives, come and
go, and hepurpose seemingly of the rail-
reader himself is Ito get there There
should be law to suppress the wreckless
running Of trains at high speed. People
can afford TO take little more time and so
can the railroads, with some assurance
that there is not to be smash-up ahead
the next minute.

THE Hon. Gus w. Richardson claims
that he hasn't had a fair trial before the
board, because of a majority of said
board being for Gross. How could the
board be otherwise? 1t represents
majority of the Democrats of the Tenth
Senatorial District, who said at the
primary that Gross was their choice.
The vo of Breckenridge shows that a
ma ority OF the Democrats were for
Gross. Mr.. Barnes was acting for that
majority. The vote OF Hancock said that
a majority in that county preferred Mr..
Gross, Mr.. Sterett was acting for them.
The vote of Meade shows that majority
in that county wanted Mr.. Richardson,
Mr.. McAulille was present and acted for
them. The board reflected the will OF
the people both at the polls and in the
contest. 1t seems to us that this ought
to satisfy any fair minded man, especial
ly il he be Democrat and wants to
abide by majority OF his party.

THE result OF Gus Richardson's contest
has been summed up as follows: The
Democracy at the polls has said A. j.
Gross is the nominee; the officers OF the
election who took the vote have said
that he is the nominee; the canyassing
board of the district has said he is the
nominee, and this being the law of the
land and the Democraticy party in parti-
cuar, we guess he has got it.

An Important Matter.

One OF the most important matters to
housekeepers at this time of the year is
their beds, feather beds especially. The
importance OF having your feathers clean
ed, purified and enlivened, TO discard all
source OF malaria and prevent disease, is
something that should not be neglected.
The recent improvement in feather
washers makes this very easy matter
and one OF slightest. Mr.. J. j. Conwell,
who is now at Stephensport with his rem.
ovator, uses the new process and gnaan-
tees perfect satisfaction in renovating all
kinds OF feathers, both old and new. He
does good work and does il thoroughly
He is perfectly reliable and can be de-
pended on for whatever he promises He
has established headquarters at Stephens
port, where he will be for short time.
His wagons will canvass the country in
that neighborhood for orders, taking and
returning them, free from all impurities,
besides an increase in buik from one
fourth to one-half. Give them your
feathers.
