Presidential Electors.

Kentucky's electors for President
and Vice President will, according to
law, meet at Frankfort on the second
Monday IN January. which is the 18th,
to make return of the vote cast in
the State at the last Presidential cleo
ton. At their meeting they will also
select an official messenger to carry
the. Commonwealth vote to Washing
ton and to deliver it to the Vice Presi-
dent 'of the United States who will
present 1T along with the vote IF other
States to the whole Senate. The posi-
tions of electors are places of honor,
but, according to the Kentucky stat
utes, the electors receive the same per
diem and the same mileage as mem
bers of the General Assembly receive.
or So day fort he time they are in
session and fifteen cents mile on their
way to the seat of government and the
same amount returning. Of course
they will be in session but one day.
According to statutes if all the cleo
tors are not present in Frankfort by
noon of January IL, majority of the
electors shall elect their successors and
the electors thus chosen serve as if
they had been elected originally by the
people.

The Monument to Gen. Morgan.

The movement inaugurated by the
Kentucky division of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy to raise
funds to build monument to Gen. ohr
H. Morgan should be responded to lib
orally by Ken.uckians regardless OF
whether they or members of their
families were aligned with the Union
or, the Confederacy in sentiment or ar
rayed against the Confederacy or the
Union in the field, says the Courier
Journal.
An intrepid soldier always a heroic
figure regardless of the color of his
flag or his cause, and 10 one measures
him by his mettle more readily than
his enemy in the charge or the trench
es, or more sincerely pays tribute to
the quality of his courage or general
ship.
That Kentucky should be divided in
sentiment at the beginning of the Civil
War was as natural as the conflict was
irrepressibIe and the result inevitable.
That Morgan's antecedents and asso-
Citations caused him to cast his fortunes
with the Confederacy, that meant to
him the South. should not cause any
Union soldier or sympathizer of the
slxtiCs or any son or daughter of a
Union soldier or sympathizer to with
hold contribution from the monument
fund.
General Morgan was a unique figure
in the Civil War and the raids of Nor
gan and "Morgan's terrible men" are
rated by students of military affairs
as being unique in history. A suitable
monument should be erected, as suit
able recognition of his gallantry and
his possession of a military instincr,
that was at once the cause of his at
tempting the impossible and the cause
of his achieving it. The contributions
should not be made Iby sympathizers
with the Lost Cause" but by natives
OF the State in which Morgan grew to
manhood and upon whose soil he be-
came famous.

ReovIutioon in Women Clothes

Professional humorists ale extract
ing endless amusement from the
change in feminine fashions. With
cisms which date from before the
crinoline and which did service in turn
for the chignon and the peekaboo
waist are revamped to refit the Direc-
toire gown, says the New York World.
But are not the fair targets of their
satire entitled rather TO sympathy! is
it a joke to contemplate closet full of
costumes which brief six months ago
we're in style, with the dread conscious
ness that they are now out of date as
the douo and must be replaced? The
new styles permit of no compromise !;
they allow no "making over. 1t is
not merely a riot of new fashions
which confronts the-feminine world; it
is a revolution and the most radical
one within memory.
Gone in twinkling are the elbow
sleeves with their display of rounded
arms. Gone are the long gloves. the
demand for which two years ago ex-
hausted the factory output and created
a famine on Broadway and Sixth ave-
nue.. Not alone the gowns, but cloaks,
evening wraps, hats the arrangement
of the hair, even the fashion of under
wear, have undergone a complete
change.
Is the disturbance of values caused
by the innovation fully realized? The
sale at auction last week for 81 and So
a garment of importers models which
last spring were priced at from $50 to
$3.50 is eloquent of the far-reaching re-
suits of the edict. Man has no reason
to envy the women of his household the
new problem in clothes which they are
called on to solve. 1t is perhaps more
becoming to drop tear over the trlbu-
lations of the feminine world under
the tyranny of fashion than to indulge
in a laugh.

Every man on the county ticket,

And this is not to their discredit.
The men who were the candidates on
the other ticket are all of them SPLEEN
did men-honest, loyal, and upright
citizens. They are competent men,
who would make excellent officers,
and with them as candidates, The
Gazette had no quarrel, for we respect

run, and did not question their meth

They were defeated, no on personal
They were debated, not on personal

party grounds, for in the scope OF the
campaign the principles Of the polit-

county is not only Republican to the
core, but that its strength is increas-

According to the figures Bryan re-

The canvassed portion Of the Balti-

Of the county vote tonight was being
done with the utmost care and conse-
quently was slow.
This result, II borne out by the com
pleted official count, is a precise dupli-
cation Of what occurred in the presi-
Dental election Of 1904, and the rea-
is that apparently p Repub-
licans than Democrats marked their
ballots for the first named elector only.
This is considered to 0be due chiefly to
the ballot law, which prohibits The
party emblem. The ~illiterate voter
frequently marks his ballot SO that 1t
counts only for the first elector: on the
ticket and as the Republican illiter2te
vote, because Of the large number Of
negroes in that party Is greater than
the Democratic there is always a CON
siderable discrepancy between the
vote received by the first Republican
and the others.
