DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

WARREN Z. SETTLE.
For Congress
HON. BEN JOHNSON.
It doesn't seem quite so impossible
now to make silk purse out of
sow's ear.
With the price Of mutton going up
one can hardly afford to wear a
sheepish look nowadays.
No, son, there is no Cook Book
that we know of which will give
you any information concerning the
North Pole controversy.
When we contemplate the increased
prices of shoes, We are reminded that
it is harder to keep sole and body
together now than formerly.
1t is said that motoring causes
badness in women nowadays. Shi
Don't say a word. Just cut the first
two lines of this little item out and
paste them on the family mirror.
Considering the high price of the
animal, people who "act the hog
nowadays are supposed to show some
personal worth besides the we'll known
characteristics of a porker
Mr.. Roosevelt slew about a dozen
white rhinoceros while on his Afri-
can trip. Probably he intends to
make this animal the party emblem
with the Inference that if it must be
white, it must also be of an uglier
and more vicious breed.
The Kentucky State Journal, edited
by ex-Gov. Beckham, made a brave
and conservative fight in the inter-
est of the people during the recent
~ closed session of the Legislature.
Mr.. Beckham is a clean and forceful
writer, and has made his paper a
power in Kentucky journalism.
The process of cold storage, a
great blessing in the preservation of
food stuffs, seems destined to be-
come a menace to lowor reasona-
lie prices, in that it enables deal
ers to store away supplies and dole
them out to consumers at whatever
price that seems profitable to the
dealer.
II is said that much of the vote
which elected Gov. Wilson came from
the veteran X-Confederates of the
State who felt that they were aiding
a friend. But Gov. Wilson didn't
feel inclined to reciprocate and
promptly vetoed the bill giving these
valiant war horses a pittance in
their old and helpless age.
It does seem like there ought to be
some sor5 Of law which would COM
pei the Legislature to stay in con-
tinuous session Except Sundays dur
ing the time allotted for its work.
There were several unnecessary ad-
journments during the recent session
If our Legislature, during which
much good time was wasted.
Gov. Wilson gave as his excuse
for not signing several bills passed
by the recent Legislature, that it
would incur too much extra expense
upon the State Treasury. But he did
not hesitate a minute nor blink an
eyelash in signing Senate bill 347
appropriating $4,000 annually as Eek
tense money" for the Governor
One of Mr.. Rockefeller's eX-pastors
said of him last week: "He is the
noblest, gentlest and sweetest soul
that / ever met" Oh, dear! Oh,
gush! How fine must be the eXper-
fence of not only being the rich
est person in all the country, but
TO have some good man say that
you are an angel along with it.
That wealth should bear its prop
er burden or proportion of taxation,
no one will deny. That it does not
now do so in general and COM
prehensive sense, is generally ad-
mitted. The Democratic party, icing
a party Of the people, its principles
advocating justice towards all, can
hardly afford not to commit itself
to the policy Of an income tax.
That brotherly kindness and chris
tian solicitude which prompts a
person to go to another in trouble,
speak kind word or lay a gentlo
band upon the troubled ones Shout |
Ter, in pure human love, is beau
.iful theory and matter much talk
ID about and advocated, but in abso-
ute reality seldom practiced. Haven't
vou observed or found this true?
