CALEB POWERS WINS
IN ELEVENTH DISTRICT
By 10000 Over Congressman
Edwards Who is Serving
Third Term.

By a decisive majority OF more
than 10000 votes, Caleb Powers de-
feated Congressman Edwards for the
Republican nomination for represent
tative from the Eleventh district of
Kentucky in a primary election held
last Friday.
Edwards is serving his third term.
Powers, who defeated him for renom-
nation, made his race upon an ap-
peal to the voters of the district to
give him the nomination as a win
dication" of his alleged completely
in the assassination of Democratic
Governor Goebel in 1900. Powers
was Secretary of State at the time of
the assassination and was confined in
Jail during eight years. The first
three trials resulted in convictions
and the fourth in a disagreement.
Last year Gov. Wilson swept the
court records clear of all cases re-
naming untried in connection with
the Goebel murder, granting pardons
to Powers and several others.
The campaign between Powers and
Edwards has been a spectacular one
and evoked marked bitterness. The
district has a normal Republican ma
jority of upwards of 10000.

Party Enters Campaign
With Confidence.
A CHANCE IN MASSACHUSETTS
And Almost Certain Of New
York, Connecticut and
New Jersey. =
ROOSEVELT LEADERS, OPINION

New York, Sept. 19.-With Judge
Simeon Baldwin named as the candi-
date for Governor of Connecticut ana
President Woodrow Wilson, OF
Princeton, for Governor of New Jer-
sey by the Democrats, and with the
probable nomination in New York
of Mayor Gaynor and in Massachu-
sets of Congressman Foss, the DEM
ocrats of the East are going into the
political campaign firmly convinced
that the results in Maine will be du-
plicated in the four States named.
1t can be truthfully said that the
Republicans are not going into the
campaign with any degree OF conf
dence.
In New York, particularly, the
fight between the Roosevelt and anti
Roosevelt factions for control is so
bitter that it seems almost impossi-
BILE for them to get together by the
time of election. One of the Roose-
welt leaders, in discussing the situa-
ton, said:
1.-THE only hope for the Republican
party in New York this year is for
the domination of the convention by
the progressives and the nomination
of candidates whose Identification
with progressive ideas is beyond
question. But even then it is posi-
BILE that the machine will be short
sighted enough to knife the ticket.
No matter what the result of the
election may be, it will leave Roose-
welt In control of the party"
In Connecticut and Massachusetts
the Democratic party is united as it
has not been since the first Bryan
and the greatest confidence
is expressed that the same influences
which placed Maine in the Democrat
ic column will operate in the other
New England States.
President Wilson is preparing to
make a whirlwind campaign in New
Jersey, and he expressed confidence
In the outcome.

THE NEWS WANTED
JUST A SUGGESTION

Every newspaper wants to pub
fish the news. The better the paper,
the more prosperous it will be. Lo-
cal news items are especially hard
to run down. How many times have
you, dear reader, been approached
by the newspaper man for an item of
news and told him that you knew
nothing of interest? Probably at the
time your family were away on Wis
it or some one out of town was Wis
iting at your home. OF course you
didn't mean to deceive the scribe,
yet when you get your paper, you
wonder why your family or friends
are not mentioned. A good way to
avoid all this is to kindly inform us
Of the facts or drop a note in the
post-oftce to The Herald. The one
item may not amount to much, but
several columns of such news is the
life OF local paper. See?

HARTFORD. KY, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1910

every day, and although practically
every injured coal miner is paid, the
number of miners killed and hurt
has been reduced to such an extent
that even the mine owners are sat
isfied with the law, and claim to be
actually saving money by reason of
the great reduction in death or per-
sonal injury claims.
This is submitted for consideration
with the hope that the next represen-
tative from Ohio county may be
pledged to work and vote for legis-
lation along the lines of the Illinois
statute, that may make the miners
calling at least as safe as that of the
soldier. f. w.

not more than barrel of tears over
the separation. WE owe HART

DEMOCRATIC FACTION
ENDORSES REPUBLICAN
Strange Coalition of Forces in
Tennessee - Harmony
Plan is Spurned.

The Independent Democrats OF
Tennessee have Endorsed the candi-
dacy of Capt. Ben w. Hooper, Re-
publican nominee for Governor, and
further cut loose from the regular
wing by referring the latter's harm
ony resolution to the new independ-
ent State Executive Committee with
out discussion.
Thus was organized a formidable
looking triumvirate to campaign for
a Republican Governor, the triumvi-
rate consisting of Republicans, indie
pendent Democrats and Statewide
PrOhibitionists. The Independents
and Prohlbitionists are SO closely al
lied as to largely overlap in their
membership.
The possible break in the Solid
South, outlined in this convention,
extends only to one office, the Gov
ernorship. There is q gentleman s
agreement" between the independ-
ents and the Republicans that Meth
er party WIN invade the others
safe" legislative territory, and this,
the independents say, assures a Dem
ocratic Legislature. The last Re-
publican Governor in Tennessee was
Alvin Hawkins In 1881-S2. 1t is a
curious fact that his election was
due to Democratic split led by
Judge s. F. Wilson, who was elected
to the Court of Civil Appeals as an
Independent in the judiciary election
last August, which was the forerun-
ner of this convention.

A Good Citizen Gone.

Mr.. Geo. w. Taylor, an old and
highly respected citizen of Cromwell,
KY, died at the residence of his son,
Mr.. Warren Taylor, near that place,
last Friday, of old age and troubles
incident thereto. He was so years
old. His funeral took place Sunday,
under the auspices of the Masonic
fraternity. Besides his son Warren,
he leaves another son, Frogge, his
wife having preceded him to 1.-The
better land" several years ago. He
was a brother of Mrs. Q. c. Shanks
and therefore an uncle of Mrs. L. S.
Hubbard, of Hartford. He was a
good man and had lived a long and
useful life.

CHILDREN EDUCATED

An experienced teacher says that

those who do not, are better read

more understandingly, and obtain a
practical knowledge of geography

an important factor In modern life.

Cannot Be Protected by Trademark

In these days OF discovery and prop
agation OF new kinds of fruit the ques-
ton is often asked whether or not
nurseryman can restrain another man
from using trademark name for fruit.
The law has decided that new va
riety Of fruit cannot be protected by a
trademark or patent, says the Cashmere
Record, as can a new chair, or tool, or
toy.
A case OF this kind was tried in Cali
fornia not long since, wherein one nur-
seryman sought to restrain another from
selling certain apples under trademark
names. When the suit came on the
plaintiff evidently saw he could not win
and voluntarily dismissed it, the costs
being assessed against him.
There have been similar cases since,
with similar results, all showing that a
nurseryman cannot use trademark as
an inventor uses a patent. This would
seem to be long way from justice.
The inventor deals in what may be
called dead things" while plants are
alive and may be propagated. 1t must
be regretted that such a decision has
been 'propagated' by the courts, fol
the man who produces new fruit, it
would seem, has as much right to its
monopoly as he who invents a new
machine.

these arguments are lacking even in
that semblance Of truth which is neces-

The highest civilization has deter
mined that the best and most efficient
means of public service is the power 10
express ones opinions at the polls. You
do not fear that such an expression from
your daughters, mothers, sisters and
wives will work harm TO our state; but
you must realize that it will be force

Mailing the Dead

The Japanese in Denver who shipped
the cremated remains Of his son to Japan
through the postoffice found new use
for the mails. In this act the customs
and traditions Of people lately out Of
barbarism called for aid upon the con-
veniences of modern life and received
it. The Japanese, according TO the
customs OF his country, wished the re-
mains Of his boy to rest in his father
land. He had the body cremated and
the ashes tightly packed in hermeti-
cally sealed jar. This he was able to
mail to Japan from Denver for the small
cost OF Do cents.
1t was the first time the postoffice
department ever had to pass upon this
particular kind OF package. Nothing
was found in the law to forbid carrying
it through the mails.

WHY / AM FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Last Words in Campaign for Equal Rights
Views of Man-VOte for the
first Amendment

The views Of a man who has lived
where political equality has been thor
oughly tested are always entitled to a
hearing particularly when that man is
national figure in politics. In Idaho
women vote on equal terms with men.
The women OF Washington are asking
this privilege from you at the election
next Tuesday. If you vote in favor oil
the amendment at the top of the ballot
you are voting for equal suffrage. Be
fore voting on this question will you
read what United States Senator w. E.
Borah of Idaho has to say regarding the
working of equal suffrage in the slater
He says:
Idaho extended to her women the
right to vote in the early days Of hel
statehood. We do not become at all
excited over the effect of equal suffrage
in our state; but we do declare it to be
our deliberate judgment that her pres
ence in politics, armed with the power
to enforce her demands, has been sub
stantially and distinctively for the ben
eft of politics and society. 1t has aided
materially in securing better laws along
particular lines. Specially has in tended
to cleaner politics in particular and es'
sential matters. Our women have no
always been so active in politics as they
should be; but it has been observed
that when a moral question is up fo1
consideration a majority Of the womer
have been a power on the right side.
Il am not a believer that we car
have all the good promised by the ex
IRENE equal suffragist; but, on th'
other hand, I know that the argument
made against the cause are utterly dis
creditable to a thinking man. Tha
woman suffrage will make woman les
