FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Cheer up! The world is taking your photograph Look pleasant! Of course, you have your troubles; a whole lot of things bother you. You find life a rugged road whose stones hurt your feet. Neverthe less. cheer upl
 It may be that your real disease is selfi-hness-ingruwn selfishness. Your life is too self centered. You ina zine your tribulations are worse than others bear You feel sorry for yourseif-the meanest sort of pity Rid yourself of that and cheer up.
 What fight have you to carry a picture of your woebegone face and funeral ways about among your fellows, who have troubles of their own? If you must whine. or sulk. or seowl, there are plenty of se "luded and unfrequented places, where you can do this.
 Cheer upl Your ills are largel. imaginary. If there were no thoroughfares through your sor- rows, you would clear your brow. set your teeth and make the best of 1t.
 Cheer upl You are making a Hypothetical case out of your troubles and suffering from a self inflicted verdict. You are borrow ing trouble and paying high rate of interest.
 Cheer up! Why, in a ten min ute walk you may see a score oi people worse off than you. And you are digging your own grave and playing pail bearer into. the bargain. Smile, even though it be through your tears.

And Appeals to Kentuekians to
Make State Republican.

of War Taft today opened the Repub-
lican state campaign with a discussion

issues from the Southern standpoint
and an appeal to Kcntuckians to aid
the Republican party III support of
these principles. Calling attention to
what he called the Souths lack of rep
ro%cntation in the councils of the ma
lion, he declared that this was true
because one single issue has made 1t
the perpetual tail of the Democratic
party 50 that however small the North
crn head. it WagS that tail. The South
has permitted the shadow of an issue,
that circumstances ought long ago to
have removed. to bind it to the Demo-
cratic party no matter what principles
or candidates that party adopts
Then taking up the race question he
said:

to tho race question. ] am convinced
that it is working itself out and / am
convinced that nothing has 50 much
contributed to its gradual solution as
tho 18th. 18th and 18th amendments"
He gave much praise to Booker II.
Washington and others who had urged
"'Thc wisdom of making the education
manual and industrial"
After mentioning the various means
of DISTINGUISHING voters and declaring
that such laws were proper if applied
with equal fairness to both white and
black he expressed the hope that as
the colored citizens under the leader
