Of 1904. but it is known that between
100000 and 100000 votes were cast for
the Socialist candidates. The states
Of the middle west are the ones in
which the Socialists made the largest
gains. Illinois showed the most So
cialistic strength. coming up to about
$4,000 from about One-4uarter that
number four years ago. The city Of
Chicago alone gave the Debs and Han
ford ticket over 1900 votes.
Chicago sen two Socialists to the

Good craftsmanship is an accomplish

they young men Of the United States to
possess, and to that end measures are
being taken to encourage them in rifle
and revolver practice. In days gone
by the pioneers and early settlers had
sufficient occasion to keep in practice
in the use Of firearms. But it is Diff
ferent now. There are no Indians or
wild beasts to threaten the public safe
ty, and outlaw bands are seldom to be
found except in dime novels. The

appearing from the map.
Even the game which has been wont
to attract the hunter and give him
practice in craftsmanship is getting
scarce except in the preserves of multi.

Though the regular army OF the

again necessary to keep abreast of the
times. The new RE. known as the

1908, is an American invocation ana is
believed to be superior to any in use in
foreign armies ut this time. The most
noticeable difference between it and
the old rifle consists in the fact that
the barrel is covered with wood. This
change has been made hecausc it was
found in CuNa and til" Philippines that
after Il period of rapid discharge the

urged the cause of the teachers in
emphatic terms. Prof. Scott's address
was applauded and fairly represented
the sense of the meeting. Other

lines, Supt. Davis being very happy
in what he had to say. pledging him

KENTUCKY VISITORS
TRIBUTE TO K|LAUEA

To the Hawaii Promotion Committee:
I came all the way from Louisville to
see the Volcano of Kilauea and Incl
dentally the Hawaiian Islands. It's a
long journey, but never in my life was
1 more agreeably surprised, and more
thoroughly satisfied with any of my
trips. Col. George Lycurgus sent word
over the world that the Volcano was
in an unusually active state and upon
our arrival we found his statement
true. There is nothing like Kilauea,
even the famous Mammoth Cave in
Kentucky fades into insignificance
compared to this grand and unearthly
sight. If the Volcano had not come up
to our expectations, the many other
features of the islands and
the treatment we received from Col.
Lycurgus and his associates would have
made the trip worth the while.
