For the Young Lady Graduate.

1t has been truthfully said : that
there is art in more things than one.
but it is hard to get the average school
girl of to-day TO believe it. To paint
and draw, to perform on the piano
with skill and precision, burn pictures
on wood and create things beautiful
with the needle each in it's way is art.
But let it not be forgotten that the
young lady who can bake a loaf of
bread that commands the praise of the
hungry because of its merit or cook
meal and serve it in a most appetite
ing way is the possessor of a bit of art
that commands more respect and ad-
miration than all the. others put to-
gether.

In the Saddle Again

The Democrats of Kentucky are in
the saddle once more, says the Courier
Journal. Truly it looks like old Demo-
cratic times in the State again-the
times when nominations by Democratic
conventions were as good as elections
and when not even the party's oppo-
nents doubted its invincibility.
Since those times the Kentucky
Democracy has passed through more
than a decade of storm and strife, of
dissension and disaster that would
have extinguished any political organi-
cation of less vitality. 1t has suffered
sorely from this period of travail.
But it has survived, as its enemies
never believed it could survive and as
many of its own partisans feared it
could not. 1t has survived. moreover,
a wiser, if not stronger, party than
it was when it had everything Its own
way. For it has learned lesson fIcm
adversity-a lesson that should be
learned by every party which thinks
its supremacy cannot be shaken-the
lesson that no party can maintain a
victorious warfare against its foes
while waging an even fiercer warfare
in It's own ranks. 1t has learned that
nothing is to be won by fractional con-
tention and elimination, by personal
embitterments and feuds. 1t has
learned that indulgence in such pas
sions deprive it of its rightful vantage
as the majority party in the State, and
that such internal tempests only serve
to cleave the waves of the sea in a
path over which its opponent tread to
triumph which would otherwise be be-
yond their reach.
Z This is the meaning of Thursdays
story at Lexington. 1t was a conten-
tion of Democrats-not of this stripe
of Democrats and that streak of Demo-
Gratis, but of Kentucky Democrats =
who were tired of foolery, tired of
fighting one another, tired of making
pathways for the Republicans, and
who, if they carried knives for use
upon other Democrats. stuck them
away in their boots, there TO remain
until a more seasonable time for a
family shindy, ard perhaps never to be
drawn again save against the common
enemy.
The story can be read but one way
by either Democrats or Republicans. 1t
is so plain that the latter cannot help
reading it as they run.
1t is the story of Democratic reunion,
of Democratic unity. of Democratic as
cendancy in Kentucky. None under
stands this better than the Republi-
cans, who have never amounted TO any
thing in the State except when the
Democrats were disorganized by divis-
ION among themselves-the same Dem
ocrats who now enter the campaign
with closed ranks, against opponents,
who in turn are at one another's
threats.

TAKE DEFEAT GRACEFULLY.

country.

Jerry Rounder, "whether you are a
candidate OF only an earnest partisan,
you will definitely know whether, in
the campaign now closing, you are a

Keep up a smiling face in the hour of

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 4, 1908.
THE VOTE OF MONTANA.

ID Lne IOur eleCtlOus
that have been held since Montana
was entitled to participate in the con
test. her electoral vote has been evenly
divided between the two great political
parties. In the presidential contests
of 1892 and 1904, the Montana voters
gave majorities for republican presi-
Dental electors, while in the contests
OF 1896 and 1900, the democratic cleo.
toral ticket was q winner.
During the nineteen years that Mon
tana has enjoyed the privileges OF
statehood, there have been five elec-
lions at which q governor was chosen,
and on four occasions the democratic
nominee was successful at the polls.
Some of these elections took place
under exceptional circumstances, but
the record is regarded by political
prophets as a reason for classifying
Montana as a doubtful state.
The election of 1892, when Harrison
and Cleveland we're the presidential
candidates of their respective parties,
was the first national contest in which
the Montana vote was a factor. The
result gave q majority of 1870 for the
republican electors, the total vote of
the state being about.45, 900.
In the election of.lfour years later,
with the free silver question as the
paramount issue and Bryan as the
candidate Of the democratic party,
Montana voters were stampeded by
appeals to what we're alleged to be
their personal interests. Mr.. Bryan,
On that occasion, ,was the fusion can.
didate of several political parties,
and the vote for presidential electors
a Bryan, 1860; Mckinley, 1O.49O
"a democratic or fusion plurality of
over $4,000. The total vote of the
state was about 81, 600.
In 1000, swhen the free silver agita.
tatiOn had to some extent subsidized,
and Bryan andsMcKinley were again
the opposing presidential candid ates,
the Montana vote resulted: Bryan
electors, 81, LAG: Mckinley electors,
25,373-a democratic plurality of H.
773. The Montana election returns of
that year showed a total vote of about
50, 500.
The presidential election of four
years ago, wl,hyRoosevelt and Parker
as the nominees of their respective
parties, put Montana in the rcpubli-
can column by a decisive vote. The
result was: Roosevelt electors, 3 1882:
Parker electors, p, 773-a republican
plurality of -, $50. The total vote Of
the state in the presidential election
of four years ago vas about $500.
Two years ago, in the election for
representative 10 congress, with Hon.
Charles N. Pray as the republican
nominee and Hon. Il. j.. Walsh as his
democra attic opponent, the vote was:
Pray, 2s,26s;;Wa lsh, 2 ,S9l-a repub.
lican plurality offs, 374. The socialistic
candid ate for congressman, John
Hudson, received 4,638 votes, and
j. H. Calderhead, populist, 26l. The
total vote was q little over 81 5000.
Estimates of the Montana vote in
the presidential election Of this year
place it at over 81, 1000, but there are
conflicting views as to how it will be
apportioned.
