But Virginia had job for Daniel in the workshop of stateciaft,. and he was elect ed to the house of delegates. and. later chosen d state senator. In 1876 he was a Tilden elector for the state q; large. Not long thereafter William Malone got po- litical power through the 'readjuster' movement, a respectable name for re- pudiation. The issue was very simple: Can man pay his debts without parting with his money? It WAS decided in the negative in Kentucky about 1Sl0 in the controversy known as the "old court lnd new court question. And the same issue was decided in the negative in the na- tional contest of lS96. By this time it was called l6 to l. The greenbaekers had projected with the thing for many years prior to 1896
 do not believe that the political itera- ture of the Engish-speaking peoples con- tains anything abler than the debates between the champions of the "old court and the 'new court in Kentucky three score years and ten ago, It was then argued and in the final arbtrament it was so held, that the best thing to do with an honest debt is to pay it, and pay it to the utmost farthng, principal and interest.

But everything is not old in Kentucky. The ladies are all as young as they were years ago, and they look it, for your true Kentucky girl is never any older than she was when you first knew her, and though her hair may become gray, or even white as snow, her cheeks are red as cherries, her eyes sparkle like diamonds, she dances like a fairy, rides the horse like a West Point cadet, and will tell you in confidence that her mothers hair turned gray before she was 30. It is a fine provision of nature that a beautiful woman never grows old, whatever else may happen in Kentucky. But whilet a Kentuckian is honest in everything else, 1 have sometimes had my doubts about him when it comes to talking about horses Every mans horse is the best, and the youngest, until you meet another man with a horse. Sixteen years ago l was looking for a saddle horse here, and a man showed me a fine saddle horse, head and tail up, with all the gaits perfect beauty, and only years old l knew that all horses in Kentucky were either two years old or three years old, or below seven, but did not buy that horse, though Joe Blackburn and Colonel Watterson told me l could take the word of that man on d mess of Bibles, for he came of one of the best families in Kentucky. Do you know, yesterday 1 saw that same man riding that same horse and when he refined up in front of store, the proprie- tor said if any gentleman from the north wanted a perfect saddle horse there was a bargain. l looked at the horse, spokei to the owner, and asked him the age of the horse. He thought q moment, ex- pectorated through a mustache that had grown gray riding that horse, petted the proud animal on the neck, and said, com ing seven year old this spring. Sixteen and seven are 2S, and yet the horse didn't look it.

 Down the state the night riders are trying in the best manner they know how to down the tobacco trust, by burning their neighbors' tobacco, killing and whipping many who want to sell their tobacco for the price the trust off9rs, and get out of the tobacco business, and go away some- where that they can have a quiet life. The condition is not cheerful, and our "Old Kentucky Home' is having troubles of her own. Judges are charging grand juries that they must get move on and stop night riding. murder. incendiarism and anarchy; giving opinions from the bench that times are in worse condition than they were during the war; the gov ernor is trying to stop the trouble, with out calling out troops knowing that a million troops could not prevent a man with a parlor match from setting fire to d tobacco warehouse. It is a sad case for neighbors in such a grand state to be on such terms with each other that families feel that not only their properly is liable to be burned any night but to go to bed feeling that they may be killed before morning. Raising tobacco or any farm product is no easy business, but when crops are planted and tended all the year and when ready for market are destroyed in an hour. it is no wonder the farmers feel like hitching up the old team, loading in the family and going away from their homes before it is too late. We of the north can hardly real ize such a condition, with our communi- ties so 'chummy' that they visit together and never think that a neighbor would do them the least harm. The road that leads away from home is going to be the sorrowful road that many good families of southern states will take if the fighting of one trust is to set neighbors by ears. and yet many people will apologize for the fighters against the American Tobacco company. They say the farmers are ground down by the trust and when they buy a two-ounce bag of tobacco for 15 cents. made largely of stems of their own tobaccos that they have sold for 10 cents a pound they get hot under the collar, and who can blame them for be- coming heaHed?

very low, and his father departed
Saturday night for Canada. but & I'M
doubtedly did not reach there until
about Tuesday noon. His brother AL
bert went also from Chicago. =
1t is indeed with sincere sorrow
that we are called upon to chronicle
the death OF this young man. who
was only in his twenty third year.

business success before him. He left

Iowa is for Allison. The conven-

though they are wont to deny it now,

thousands of personal friends. For
weeks state employees under the Cum
Minis machine have been travelling the
state attempting to carry it for Cum
minis, but the people have become
tired OF machine domination ,3
Allison supporters have carried
seven congressional districts of the
state, while Cummins supporters
secured only four. the fourth, seventh,
tenth and eleventh. Two years ago
every county in this fourth district
went for Cummins but one. and gthis
county was carried against him by
only one majority. This year Cum
Minis carried the entire district by
only the bare majority of five. votes.
In the first district Cummins secured
only ii delegates out of 10. in the
second only "a ont of 80, in the sixth
only out of "a, in the eighth only
IL out of So. in the ninth only on,
of 1913. The final summary of the
state gives Allison 6Sl delegates ant

the reelection Of Senator Allison
without doubt. There is scarcely
