4 BE1ArED LITTLE NEra HBoR.

Our little neighbor Rhode Island seems to be waking up. lt has some reform in the works, and it is examin- ing itself carefully. One of the things it thinks 1t needs is an amendment to it's constitution that will give the gov ernor the veto power. It appears that this power has never been exercised by a Rhode Island executive. Under the charter from the King, and under the constitution which followed the char ter, the power of legislation to a con- clusion was placed in the General As sembly, and nowhere else.
 This is a curious state of affairs. Tn all the States of the Union, with the exception of Rhode Island and North Carolina, the governors have the veto power and those States are away be- hind the procession. There have been a good many things which have needed vetoing in Rhode Island, and there will be many more that will need it. So it is clearly the part of wisdom for the State to give the veto power to it's governors. That power has been useful in other States, even though it hasn't been used enough. When a Rhode Island governor gets a chance to use it he can show the other governors how to do it, and thus make his little State and his big self finely conspicuous.

Good advice from the New York Herald: We become careless in inuring ourselves against our changeable cli- mate. By foolish exposure we lower the very vitality that should protect us. Our houses are overloaded, strffy and il-ventilated our apartments are filled with infectious dust; our streets are clogged with dirt; the mlcrobe is everywhere; fresh air is at a discount;
 we take pills instead of full breaths in the open and inyigorating air; the cold morning plunge is neglected, while the cellar furnace is being rak- ed for hotter fires; it is the debilitat- ing eoddling process against strength and toughness. Is it any wonder, then,

It is pointed out that the famous leaning tower of Pisa was not original ly planned at an inclined position. Ac- cording to the architects idea, it was to be straight, but when the third story was reached the structure began to sink at one side. Seeing this, the builders deliberately adhered to the in clining position, but diminished the slope of the upper stories so as to keep the center of gravity well within the walls. This style of building was fol lowed by other architects, and at Bologna, in Italy, there are two other towers similarly constructed, one being nearly one hundred feet higher than the one at Pisa, the other being about the same height, but with a far greater inclination.

A Berlin journalist has just been talk ing a census of the short-sighted mem bers of the Reichstag and he finds that out of S97 deputies 105 use glasses. Party politics may be determined, according to the German statistician, by the kind of glasses affected. The eyeglass, he declares marks the Anglophile, and is rarely seen. Spectacles are very popu- lar and are generally worn by the party of the center. The prince-nez seem to indicate socialism, and revolutionary tendencies.

LAST OBSTACLE
To the Primary Election Re-
moved---Now for the
Home Stretch.

Circuit Judge John M. Galloway,
at Bowling Green Saturday, refused
to grant an injunction to restrain
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee from holding the primaries to
nominate candidates for State Off
ces, and also a candidate for United
States Senator. Judge Galloway, in
his opinion, which was rendered inn
mediately after the close of argu-
ment by the attorneys, held that the
abrogation Of the rule requiring vot-
ers in the primary to disclose how
they had voted in the Congressional
race removed the only objection
which could have been raised to the
primary, and that the other grounds
on which the Republican attorneys,
representing The plaintiff, relied in
their suit, are unavailng.
No further action to prevent the
holding of the primary on November
6 can be taken.

''How Easy it Would Have
Been to Get It."

Usually the Biggest crops are
raised before harvest. Don't get
panicky now about your crops. The
past season was another illustration
that the world will take all you raise.
Corn went to the minimum; potatoes,
ditto; oats, above; wheat nearly
there. Oh, how easy it would have
been to get 81 a bushel for all the
wheat and the minimum prices for
all the corn and oats and barley and
potatoes and cotton, if even one
tenth of the farmers would have ta-
ken the advice of this paper. You
see it now, don't you?-Up-to-Date
Farming.
We will give every farmer in

manhood and honor in organizing

MAMMOTH DEAL
Brasher Coal and Mining Co.
Sells Another Mine.

One of the largest mining deals
which has taken place in Western
Kentucky for many years was con-
summated Friday. when the Royal
Coal Mines, owned by the Brasher
Coal & Mining Co., of Hopkins coun-
ty, was transferred to the Chesley
Mining Co. The consideration was
$175,000. This company also owned
the Oak Hill mine, near Nortonville,
but disposed of it last July to the
Chesley Co. The price paid for the
Oak Hill property was $4,000. The
new company will place electric
haulage in both their mines at once,
and otherwise enlarge the plants.
