Adopt Sis Philosophy.

What has] the Republican party in
Kentucky donesfor you-for the State?
They have made specious promises,
which like the proverb apple crust
were quickly broken. They have dealt
in glittering generalities which was as
unsubstantial as the mist of the morn
ing, and proved to be only sound and
nothing more. The voters should adopt
Sis Hopkins, philosophy and conclude
that cit amt no use to do nothing for
nobody what amt done nothing for
me, - this Fall and cast their vote for
the party that has made Kentucky one
Of the most prosperous States in
America. There is a vast difference
between deeds well done and the ex-
plosion of ''hot air. -

Democrats, Wake Tn.

The time has arrived when every
real, genuine, true-blue Democrat
should get busy and impress upon the
Democratic voters of the rural dis
tricts that the success of our party lin
November depends upon them. 1t is
very important that the country Demo
Gratis go to the polls and vote. There
is no use hiding behind the bush-the
Republican party in Bourbon county
has an organization that is at work.
They have polled every precinct in the
county and if they get the Republican
vote out and a number OF luke warm
Democrats stay at home, FOLD Bourbon
will be counted in the Republican
ranks.
Holy Gee, think of it, bourbon
county in the Republican column. 1t
is enough to make a man turn green
in the face. Democrats, wake up and
do your duty, are you will regret it for
the balance of your life.

Future Legislation.

Every teacher is vitality interested
in at least five things, viz: better
school houses, better equipment,
longer Eterms, larger salaries and a
stronger recognition of the dignity and
responsibility of the profession of
teaching. 1t has been said that Moth
ing secceeds like success" When the
teachers of the State, through their
organization, appeared before the
DemocraticI General Assembly in 1906,
that Assembly passed every educa-
tional bill presented by them. The
teachers are now looking forward to
the passage of the Acts increasing the
school term from to months, estab-
fishing minimum salary of not less
than $4,000 per month. providing for a
system of County High Schools.

A ROoseveltian War.

That entertaining Republican news
paper, the New York Sun, declares
that sending the feet of battleships to
the Pacific is not for practice pur-
poses but for war on Japan. AS the
Sun has unusually good opportunities
for probing the inside mysteries of the
Administration, it is alarming to learn
its opinion that: "The navy is going
to the Pacific Ocean for war with
Japan, and Japan recognizes the fact
and is energetically preparing for it.
Once the operation of transferring our
ships to Pacific waters has been accom-
plished war is, inevitable. 1t is an
insane project.
1.-The American people do not want
to go to war with Japan nor with any
other country; but the American peo-
pie are apparently without recourse or
voice. There is little or on hope that
Congress will dare to oppose the Pres
ident's plans.
IL 10 OIlO VI JIlC sllOOS OSIlOuo SlGud-
tions that have confronted this coun-
try, and the only mitigating considera-
ton that we are able to discern in
chat activity of the Navy Department
and of the War Department tools
at the present moment Indicative of a
full sense of gravity of the impending
crises"
Possibly the Sun may be right in its
diagnosis of theRooseveltian intention,
for: any Dan :Quixuile project in pres
ent Administration, but it can hardly
be possible that majority of Congress
could be brought to do so wicked and
foolish thing as to declare war
against Japan. The only real reason
for such action would be for the pur-
pose of perpetuating the Republican
party in power and the breaking of all
presidents by the reelection for a
third term of Theodore Roosevelt.
Those two caIamities would be cock
istent. AS the majority of the Ameri-
can people are not yet daft, we will
still hope that the Sun is mistaken.
