expect to roll up for their candidate
in the election today for congress

rendered necessary ny the death of
Congressman William Lilly. That
veteran Republican war horse, Gen.
Galusha A. Grow, is the standard
bearer of the Republicans, aud
James Denton Hancock Is the
nominee of the Democracy. Despite
the fact that THIS is decidedly All off
year the campaign has been one of
the most active and enthusiastic in
the history of the state. Jasntics
ton of the Wilson bill has been the
chief campaign card of the Demo
Gratis and the Republicans have met
their opponents on this issue, and
have paid special attention to the
manuf scturing and other industrial
sections of the state. The Demo
cratic leaders will not quote figures,
but profess to be sangulne regarding
the result. The weather is generally
fine throughout the state, and all
indications up to noon point to the
polling of an enormous vote.
Within the past few days the Re-
publlcans have literally covered the
state with manifesto inviting the
fullest possible expression of public
sentiment today, to the end that the
entire land may know the tenor Of
current thought upon the most i'm
mediate and vital issue presented in
the Wilson bill. 1t also says:
"The simple anticipation of this

THE BEST HUSBAND.
REV. DIR. CHARLES H. PARKHURST.

REV. DIR. CHARLES II. PARKHURST.
No man in my opinion can be the
best husband till he is the minister of
his family. AS the home is the first
church, so the husband is the first min
lister: he is the high priest of that
home; his wife, the high priestess.
If religion means an abiding faith in
an Almighty power above us, and
true love of God, who is love, together
with love in the best sense of all man
kind, then | say religion should have
it's place, large place, in every home,
and the husband should be the one to
encourage. by example and sensible
teaching, it's continued presence there.
II he would have the happiest family
about him, he will teach = not
preach, understandable doctJ ines of
religion and morality. The father who
would have his child, when that child
becomes a man. continue in his career
in the fuIness of Christian faith must
bring up that child amid Christian
surroundings AS a rule, those men
who are most sincere in IT, cir religious
belief were imbued with the spirit of
religion in childhood.
| cannot bring myself to believe that
there is enough of religion in our
homes to-day,-nOt enough, particular
ly in this great, seething, crowding.
pushing city. Amid the rush, the pace
that kills, religion is forgotten. The
husband and father has no time for it;
he can't even find houseroom for it.
AS only one man here and there will
tolerate religion in his Office or place of
business, where, then, do the great
mass of men keep their religion? Some
few keep it within the walls of a church,
pay handsome pew rent for keeping
it there, and go take look at it once
every Sunday from eleven to twelve.
| tear that especially among wellto-
do families, in the homes of prosperity,
religion is almost entirely neglected.;
at least the subject is seldom spoken of
as an expression of real feeling. except
in hushed tones And yet | do not
wish to paint the situation in darker
colors than it really is. | do not say
all husbands and fathers neglect relig
ion. If there are great numbers Of
homes in this city in which religion
has no place, there are still many
households in which the family lives
together in the spirit of Christ's teach
ings; and when such is the case it is
usually because the husband and the
wife agree in their religion, and agree
ing in that, agree In all matters, and
are the happier. In these homes hus

There are, no doubt, Il good many
worthy people who advise folks against
moving to K ntucky, because their typ
ical Kentuckian is a blossom nosed fire
eater, who goes about with his trousers
stuck into cowhide boots, SLOUGH hat
staggering over his eyes, whisky flask
protruding from one pocket, il revolver
from another and Il bowie knife from the
bootleg. Their representative Ken
tuckian kills a man every morning for
breakfast and goes to bed every night
too gloriously drunk to take his clothes
off. They divide Kentuclians into two
classes-the horse racers and the feud
fighters. They consult dime novel ac-
counts of the mountain Vendettas us au-
thorities on Kentucky life. and they &C
cept and disseminate the opinion that
Kentucky is a good place for il man Of
peaceful inclinations to stay away from.
Another picture of the Kentuckian,
less uncomplimentary, but as an aver
age type scarcely less untrue to life, is
that of the old Kentucky gentleman

the disposition to generalize on too
