their congratulations. The Journal

Permanent Muscular Strength.

There is this to be borne in mind in
these days when so many young men
are giving so much attention to physi-
cal development, in gymnastic and
athletici exercises, that there cannot
be permanent muscular strength
where there is not blood strength.

jorities in both houses Of Congress
To those who have been keeping tab
on the votes given in thepresent spe-
cial session Of Congress on the various
schedules, the above statement will
be extremely amusing. II Is a well
known fact that reductions in many
schedules were prevented by Demo-
cratic congressman from the South.
Il is doubtful if the Demo-
cratic party could revise the tariff
DOWNWARD if It had a two-thirds
majority in each branch Of Congress.

The resolutions adopted by the Dem

affairs in Ohio county, which is very
unfair 10 the present administration.

know that the present Fiscal Court
has each year a committee consist
Ing Of one democrat and one repub-
l.can 10 20 over the financial affairs
Of the county and render true state
ment Of its financial conditions, which
statement was published in both OF
the county papers this year and
showed that the Indebtedness OF tho
County has been decreased since Re
publicans came in power. Besides il
We were to 90 into details it would
appear that they have expended many
thousands OF dollars in substantial
improvements which were very much
needed. II will not improve the Dem
ocrat's chances to carry Ohio coun'
ty to Islander or misrepresent th'

The Louisville Herald has again
changed hands and il Is announced
that while the paper will continue
to support the Republican National ad
ministration, it will be independent
in local politics. MIR. George Newman
has been the editor for a number OF
years and under his management,
the paper has increased in influence
and worth as a purveyor Of news.
However under his management it has
shown itself to be a friend OF the
trusts and has never manifested any
sympathy for the common people in
their struggle for commercial free
dom. Especially was this noticea-
BILE in the fight Of the tobacco graw-
ers against the American tobacco com
pany last year and year before. 1t
is to be hoped that the paper under
its new management will be free
from this sort of complaint, as 1t
has a wide circulation in the agri-
cultural sections of the state. We
wish the paper the greatest success
under its new control

The Democratic county convention
last Monday was elearlSa perfume
ory.1 affair throughout. The. disincli-
nation of many prominent Democrats
to accept places on the ticket strong
ly Indicated the recognized hopeless
ness of the fight against the Republic
can ticket. The ticket named Is COM
posed OF good men, but men for the
most part entirely unacquaihted with
the voters Of the: county and with
one or two exceptions persons who
are unacquainted with the art Of can
wasting for votes. II IL made up of
persons who are competent for the
places for which they are named. and
we have no word of criticism to offer
for individual members composing It..
However, the men named by the Re
publicans cannot be surpassed, either
as to integrity or competency for the
positions to which they aspire and
with a full Republican vote. and each
Republican standing by his nominee
and there is no reason why they
should not receive united support,

ty this fall VIII hardly fall below 600
for any Of our nominees.

SENATORS SEEK
BEAUTY SQUAD
ALL THAT is ADONIS-LIKE AND
CHIVALRIC IN MAN TAKEN AS
CRITERION FOR PROSPECTIVE
BEAU BRUMMELS AT INAUGU-
RAJ BALL.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
Male beauty, chivalry, Beau Brum-
mels, Thespian experts and general
all round cavaliers are being segre-
gated from every state in the Union
to act as an escort to President Tdf.
when he attends the inaugural ball
on the night of March 4. He will
be surrounded by veritable galaxy
of composite specialists. A surpass-
ing aggregation of all that is polite,
gallant, Apollo-like and alluring in
the masculine, as viewed from the
standpoint of evening clothes, will
go forth with Mr.. Taft when he pro-
ceeds to the pension bureau court
and there encounters picked selec-
lions from all the fairest women of
the land.
The inaugural committee has
gone into this matter thoroughly. 1t
has sent a letter to each senator re-
questing him to confer with his col

leagues and select man to represent
their state in escorting Mr.. Taft to
the ball. There is no stipulation
about the chosen one being the hand
soonest man in the state or the best
dressed or most proficient dancer.
The senators, of their own accord,
are reaching the conclusion that a
fitting specimen should be named for
the designated purpose. AS con-
sequence, a canvass is being made
of all the personal charms, winning
manners and engaging address of
every eligible man among their con-
stituents, and the result will be a
collection such as has not been seen
since the days when Beau Brummel
held sway.
This is not being accomplished
without discord, and of necessity
many heartburns will be left after
the great event. Every man in a
state will feel especially certain tnat
he is more handsome and better fit
ted by nature for the selection than
the one chosen. Even senators are
falling out with their colleagues over
this burning proposition. Senators
Depew and Plat are reported as be-
ing at knife points, and Senators Bur-
rows and Smith are going around
with locked horns over this simple
request.
The Missouri senators were wise
men, and designated Charles Nagle,
of st. Louis, who is slated for cabi-
net position if there is room left on
it. The Oklahoma senators are also
satisfied with their choice. They
picked Roy Hoffman, and he is aver
