physical life is extinct or about
to be extinct on the planet. If
this theory can be substantiated

Democratic Louisville.

ever held in Louisville, the Dem
ocratic nominee for Mayor, Mr..
w. O. Head, received a majority
of more than three thousand
votes, and every member of the
ticket named with him, except
three candidates for the Legisla-
ture and two School trustees was
returned the victor in his race.
The result is not due to accident;
it was achieved neither by fraud
nor force. It stands as the ex-
! pressed will of Louisville's citi-
zenship. 1t carries with it abun-
dant cause for satisfaction O
party followers; more than that,
however, it carries with it the
obligation of a larger duty which
Mr.. Head and the men elected
with him owe to the city that has
given them such proof of its con-
fidence. Mr.. Head can do his
party no better service than in
giving to Louisville an admins
tration free from the dictation
of party bosses, marked by the
appointment of honest and eff
cient men to office, characterized
by economy, not niggardliness;
by nonpartisanship in the con-
duct of the Police and Fire De-
partment, and dominated by the
one purpose make Democrat
ic Louisville the best governed
city in the south. Andsthe first
requisite of good government is
the fair expression of the peo-
pies will at the polls. Mr.. Head
has,won a great victory; he en-
tiers upon great responsibility.
Knowing the man, The Times be-
lieves that he will measure up
to it.
This, however, is a question
for Mr.. Head and the history of
city government in Louisville for
the next four yea S to answer.
The actual, tangible fact Of to-
day is the Democratic victory,
and to that victory no man has
contributed more than John H.
Whallen. To his influence with
the party it is due that the Dem
ocrats nominated in convention
a ticket that deserves to win; to
his twenty-four-h our-a-day lobors
and his genius for organization is
due the fact that the ticket has
commanded the success which it
deserves. To John H. Whallen,
in chief measure, the party's
thanks are owed, but not to Col.
Whallen alone. Democratic
Louisville will not forget in 1911
that Ben Johnson and Henry
Of the State Committee,
and Democrats of other commu-
mites made Louisville's cause

Land Sale Aroused Curiosity
(LaSalle Specially

The news that E. l.. Alexander has
sold 18O acres of land located about
a mile southeast of LaSalle to Den
yer parties and that the entire tract
is to be divided into ten-acre lots is
exciting the greatest interest here.
1t is understood that the ten-acre
lots are being sold by their new pur-
chasers and this means some kind
of a colonization scheme that will
result in more than a half-section
of truck gardens in the outskirts OF
the town. Although all kinds of
rumors are afioat nothing is really
known here of the eighteen new fam
lilies that will move into the COM
munity; and as to whether they are
Russians, Germans, Swedes, Dutch
or Italians is a matter of pure guess
work. But the sale is fact and the
announcement that the tract has
been divided as specified above and
resold is also fact.

the game IN good condition. but after

some time to get him around. but he
suddenly arose and gave signal. The

the game-what was the scorer and
a number of other questions that made
1t seem as II he hadn't been anywhere
near the field of play.
"The players were greatly surprised
and thought perhaps the kick In the
head had hurt the man so that his
mind WAS affected. Later they learned
that he was unable to tell what hap

kick IN the head until the time he re
