Curse Less and Think More.

John Sharp Williams taps the cocoa
nut and draws the milk when he says
that while the white, black, yellow
and red races are not the same physi-
cally, mentally, morally nor in any
sense equal, actually OF potentially,
and cannot be made so by platforms
or laws, yet they are creatures of one
God, and in the face of a great prob
lem it would be we'll that all wise men
think more, that good men pray more.
and that all men talk less and curse
less.
But wise men do as they are hidden
by Mr.. Williams. The weil-meaning
fool and the hoodlums who start riots
and the hoodiums who may pc 'inflam-
matory'' speeches are the factors for
tomenting race strife. The weIl-mean-
ing fool whose misguided efforts are
bent uponthe solution of the re r) prob
lem in the South, resides. as a rule,
in the section of the North where as
little is known of actual conditions in
the South as the average American
knows of conditions in Congo. The
hoodlums who express themselves in
action are Northerners and Southern
ers. 1t is no more difficult to beat up
a murderous mob in Ohio than it is in
Mississippi. The hoodlums who ex-
press themselves from the platform or
from their seats in,deIiberative bodies
are too of ten charlatans from the
South who belch fire and birthstone
with no higher purpose than that of
themselves, and who libel
every Southern State when they cut
their capers before high heaven.
1t would he going too far t. say that
there would be no problem in the
United States if the fool killer did not
shirk his duties, or that there would
be no race question upon the Pacific
slope, but large part of the friction
between whites and blacks and the
white and yellow races has been due
to his failure to acquit himself gIor-
iously. 49, @z1

A Little Mixed.

DR.. Sturgeon tells the following
story to illustrate "the letter that
killeth - Little Willie had been to
church very often, and when he went
one Sunday with the family, but with
out his mother. ne was enjoined by her
to be especially careful to remember
the text so that he might tell her on
his return. The text was rather
lengthy: "And there came an angel
down from Heaven and took live coal
from off the altar This was too
much for Willie, and when asked to
repeat it, after celebrating for some
seconds, he said slowly: "And there
came an Injun down from New Haven
and took a live colt by the tail and
jerked it out of the halter"

Few Here Know This.

When an eminent authority annoupc-
ed in the Scranton (Pa.) Times that he
had found a new way to treat that
dread American disease, Rheumatism,
with just common, everyday drugs
found in any drug store, the physicians
were slow indeed to attach much i'm
portance to his claims. This was only a
few months ago. Today every news
paper In the country, even the metro
politan dailieS, is announcing it and the
splendid results achieved. 1t is so
simple that any one can prepare it at
home at small cost. 1t is made up as
follows: Get from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one half ounce; Compound Kar-
gon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
Iparilla, three ounces. Mix by shak-
ing in bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and at bedtime.
These are all simple ingredients, max
ing an absolutely harmless home
remedy at little cost.
Rheumatism as everyone knows, is a
syrntom of deranged kidneys. 1t is a
coIa.Iion produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, if not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles,
causing the untold suffering and de-
formity OF rheumatism.

splendid healing. cleansing and in

Democrats, Do Your Duty.

Before another issue of the News
the battle of the ballots will be over
it will be victory forsDemocracy or for
Republican domination for four years.
If Democrats will do their duty today,
there will be no doubt of the result.
The Republican managers are claim
ing they will carrysszthe State by 5000
majority. This may be merely an idle
boast, it really sounds to us like a
graveyard whistle, however. it is
merely conjecture until the ballots
are counted The mere claim Of the
Republicans Fought to stimulate the
Democrats today and put them on
their metal.
The Republican party is not making
the race on any question of merit. 1t
is simply begging for Democratic
votes, which is enough to make even
dead Democrats turn over in their
graves. The Republican party has
been tried and found sadly wanting.
When the party was in power in the
State it did nothing to win popular ap-
probation. 1t did nothing to be pleas
antly remembered by the masses who
earnestly desire peace, progress and
prosperity. Under Republican rule it
was merely fight for the spoils of
Office. No material interest of the
State was advanced. The Democratic
ticket oughtstosWin by majority of at
least twenty thousand. These figures
ought to be increased if every Demo
cratic voter will do his duty.

A Real Statesman.

The speech of the Hon. John R.
Allen, of Lexington, in the interest of
Democracy, at the court house, Friday
night, was one of the best, if not the
best. political speech ever delivered
in out city. The eloquent gentleman
for more than one hour was listened
to with the very closest. attention, be-
ing interrupted at intervals with ire
mendous applause. tits regretted that
every Democrat in Bourbon county
could not have heard the gifted orator.
John R. Allen is one of [KentucEy's
real genuine statesmen. He is a man
that would be an honor to the%people
in any office within their gift. He is
as far above the average man in Ken
lucky politics as the Heavens are above
earth when it comes to oratory, bril-
liant intellect and craftsmanship. To
size himsup in few words we will say
The is a man among men" in the very
highest sense Of the phrase.
1t was with much regret that We
heard him say in his speech Friday
night that he would never be a candi-
date again for any officesin the gift of
the people, aid we give him warning
now, that he will have to retract those
words. Such men as John R. Allen
should not be allowed to retire from
the political arena. Kentucky Democ-
racy cannot afford. to have such a man
to retire. This is our trouble now.
and when we begin putting such men
as John R. Allen at the helm of the
old ship, you will see all doubts about
elections in Kentucky pass away like
the mist before a morning sun.
No, Mr.. Allen, you cannot retire.

Dog Knew The Horses

the wonderful acuteness of scent pos
sessed by the dog. Three or four
carriages were waiting in front OF q
fashionable Broadway establishment
when out of the door there came a
fat poodle, trotting leisurely along.
He raised his head and took look
at the line of carriages. The driv-
ers were in a little group chatting,
so that no carriage had human oc-
cupant. The poodle went across the
pavement, shifted at the leg OF one
of the horses, and went on. Ere he
reached the second carriage he was
forced toward the middle OF the side

Science has proved that stringed
instruments have a favorable infiu-
