The newspaper generalization that
Kentucky has lost ground from 1896
10 1874 Is literally true "on the face
Of the returns" but it Is not fair de-
duction when the changed condi.
lions in the two Presidential cam.
paigns are taken iuto consideration.
Indeed, to those on the ground there
IS great deal OF encouragement In
the fact that the Democratic majority
of % 900 in 1928 WIS cut down to
less than I ? 90 in 1874 and that the
Republicans gained one number of
Congress and came within 100 votes
OF capturing another Democratic dis
tIict. Even Louisville, with its mon
umental ra3cality, went Democratic
by Only I 900 votes, and Covington
and Newport gave handsome Repub
lican msjorities.
In 1896. the Democratic party In
Kentucky split wide open over Bryan
and free silver, and the two leading
party newspaper OF the State, the
Louisville Courier Journal, under
Henry Wstterson, and the Lexington
Herald, under w. c. P. Breckenridge,
and dozen lesser papers OF the same
faith cou7ageously supported either
the Mckinley ticket outright, or the
sound money Democratic nominees
Col. Breckenridge accepted the Re-
publican nomination for Congress In
the Ashland district, practically in
surfing fair election wherever his In
Auence reached, and Bourke Cochran,
John r. Fellows aud other eminent
orators OF national fame were on the
stump for Breckinridge and McKin-

THE ELECTION IN KENTUCKY
Results Compared With That
Of 1896.
Former influences That Wrought
Republican Success Not
Felt This Year.

The Northern ard Eas,ern news
papers In discussing possible Cabinet
changes when President Roosevelt
enters upon his new term hav. sug-
gested that Hon. John w. Yerks S
stands high In administration circles
and might be chosen to represen the
South In the new Cabinet but for the
showing made In Kentucky In the re-
cent election. Ole correspondent
went so far as to say that 1t was the
only Mckinley State in 1896 that had
gone back ward, forgetting that Mary
land went Republican in 1896 and
1000, and chose seven out of eight
Democratic electors in 1924.
We have no information that Mr..
Yerkes cares for a Cabinet portfolio,
which Is at best an expensive luxury
Tor a gentlemen OF moderate fortune,
but we are unwilling to see our North
srn contemporaries dismiss the sug-
gestion OF his eminent fitness and
availability on the ground that Ken
lucky did not come up u the expec-
iations of enthusiasts who are not
familiar with conditions Ia this
State.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1904-12-16

While the election of 1874 was dis.
appointing in visible results 1t was
encouraging 10 the stslwart, militant
Republicans OF Kentucky who have
their faces turned to the future. The
wave Of race fury that swept over the
South, and touched Kentucky with
its blight has spent Its force, and the
reaction is seen In the general dispo-
sition to ba'ish the Social Equality"
scsrecrows and "Nigger Domination"
bugaboos to the political attics, from
which they will never emerge. South
crn sentiment to-day is not what 1t
was sixty days ago, and there Is every
reason to believe that the South will
grow more tolerent OF Republicans
and Republican policies during the
next four years under the influence of
Theodore Roosevelt's wholesome ad-
miration.
Kentucky Is almost Republican to-
day in spite of wicked registration
and election laws and partisan ipjus-
tice in high places, and when viewed
in its true light the result of the No
vember election ought not to be a
handicap to any Republican worthy
of preferment.

AFGHAN FEUOS.
Towers OF Refuge From which the

Afghan tribes. When murder oc-

prisal To the murderer. but kills any
relative that comes handy. This. in
turn. calls for counter attack. and In
time matters become SO complicated

their normal state the stones are sol
emnly diSinterred and the two parties
are free TO go ON shooting az each other
again.
Every Afghan villacer OF moderate
means owns a tower OF refuge standing
at the corner OF his courtyard. These
towers. made OF stone and mud. are
perfectly solid for the lower twenty
feet or so, the top being surrounded by

large enough for one man 10 crawl

things too hot for himself he takes
refuge in his tower. and by the un-
written law or the country he can
never be starved out SO long as food
and water are brought 10 him by a
woman.
y traveller in Afghanistan tells OF
seeing one tower OF refuge whose occu-

Charles, the 5-year-old son of

Sunday afternoon at the Opequon
by falling with a glass in his hand
In company with a nurse and some
young friends the party drove

togeta drink from Spout Spring. =
Charles jumped from the carriage
with a glass in his hand and fell.
The fall broke the glass and crush
ed the broken pieces into the
arteries of the wrist. One artery
was severed and a Jagged wound
was made. The fortunate pres
ence of DR.. :. p. Latane. of Win
chester. prevented a more serious
result than extreme bleeding. The
injured boy was hurriedly brought
to Bcrryyille. where Drs. Osborne
and Harris dressed the wound.
While very painful to the little
fellow, 1t l. not believed that any
serious results will accrue.
