Kentucky conventions of 1887 anc

of Virginia, and served in the State
Senate for two terms Immediately af-
ter the admission of Kentucky as a
State in 1892. Caldwell County, Ken
lucky, is therefore named for Lieuten-
ant-Governor General John Caldwell,
of Prince Edward.
Abraham Owen, who was killed at
the battle of Tippecanoe, in Indiana
1911, was born in Prince Edward coun-
ty in 1869. Moving to Kentucky he
served in Indian campaigns under
General James Wilkinson Command

He was a member of the famous Con-

in 1910 He was the first to join Gen
eral William Henry Harrison at Vim
cennes TO resist the Indians under
Zecumseh, and was aide-de-camp to
General Harrison in that campaign. It
is possible that General Harrison and
Colonel Owen were at Hampdon-Sid-

The strike which has been inaugu-
rated among the railroad switchmen
of the northwest, unless speedily
settled. will cause great hardship,
coming as it does at time when the
capacity of the roads is taxed to its
utmost in the transportation of stock
and produce to market and bringing
an adequate supply of coal and other
fuel to the west for winter use. It
will also mean u further advance of
prices upon commodities that are
already frightfully high. The cause
of the strike seem5 to be a demand
for higher wages. For wonder it is
not claimed to be the fault Of the new
tariff bill.

Farmers should encourage their
nome town to build up good home
market for their dairy and poultry
products. fruit. vegetables and many
things that sell far more protitably at
home than they could by shipping
them away. Here is where the French
farmers gain their prosperity; they
have good home markets where they
market everything at high prices
direct to their consumers in their
thrifty home towns and villages.
Towns can be revived by the farmers
and merchants working together to
get new industries, and the home
market soon develops for all the farm
products that make prosperous COM
munity. and, as the town grows the
farms increase in value. INLAND

filled. In the center of one table was

his voice in thankfulpess to the
''Giver of all good" for present
blessings aud for the blessings that
have followed these people and nestled

been frequent visitors in this home
it has always seemed a haven OF
rest, home where gentleness, peace.
full, quiet and blessed contentment
have reigned supreme. where the one

PRIMARY LAW UPHELD.

The fight brought against tne
primary election law in Wisconsin
upon the claim that it was uncon-
stitutioual. has resulted in a decision
sustaining the validity of the law.
The court holds that the law was
legally enacted. that it's provisions
ara reasonable and lawful and that in
the choice of United States senators
the vote of the people as to their
choice for such officer is only advisory
and not mandatory or .coercive. In
the latter respect the decision is not
surprising. 1t has been understood
atall times that the Legislature had
the power If it chose to exercise it, to
elect as senator some candidate other
than the one chosen by the people at
/ the primaries, and the action of the
legislature last winter showed that
the choice of the people as shown at
the primary was considered by, that
body az of little consequence unless
such choice should also be the choice
of a majority of the members of both
houses. Some members entirely dis
regarded the choice expressed in their
districts, even when they had pledged
themselve before election to vote for
the man chosen at the primary.
The election of a president hinges
upon the same basis The voter does
not cast his ballot directly for his
choice for president, but for the presi
Dental electors upon the ticket of his
candidate and his party. Yet after
the presidential electors have been
elected it would be within the pos
sibiIities for any OF them to cast his
vote in the electoral college for a
different candidate for president. but
few men would be base enough or
foolish enough TO do SO
If the Oh dice of the people for
Oull0u OIdlO SOndIOI 10 u NC VA any
real value as expressed at the
primary: if candidates for that high
office are compelled to put up a
campaign of appeal to the people at
such primary election. and make
the fight over again before the
legislature, then the primary
law should be amended so
that their decision at the polls would
become mandatory upon the legisia-
ture.
1t is an insult to the people to ask
them to express by ballot their choice
of a candidate for senator ard later
ignore and attempt to override such
decision in the inteIe est of one or the
other factions of a party.
1t is also unfair to candidates to
compel them to put up two campaigns
for the same election, with the work,
worry and expense they necessarily
entaiI-une in an appeal to the people
and again with the Legislature.
If vox populi is really to be con-
sidered IN the matter the primary de-
cision should govern for senators the
same as for other candidates.
