Statistics serve to show a steady
increase in the number Of the insane
The most reliable statistics known 10
us. those taken ia Massachusetts,
show that ia that state the number
OF insane in the asyltms II increasing
from $50 20 300 year. which is a
much larger pronortionate increase
than that OF the sane population Re.
ports from other states show similar
results. Some Of the more generally
accepted causes Of the increase Of in
sanity are given as follows; The over
tension OF modern life, brought on
by the keen struggle for life: the con.
gestion and excitement Of city life.
and tha fact that insanity Is becoming
more and more an incurable disease.

cation OF the bridges, and SO far as

yotors for the want of the right to
participate in the primaries of a
pureh, city or village political party

that before challenged voter can

Some Stories Around the Town.
Bob" Taylor's Tribute.

Madame Constance Balfour. who Is

head of her own concert company.
tells an interesting story OF her first
meeting with Senator Bob" Taylor.
Senator Taylor was to give his
famous lecture, "The Fiddle and the
Bow" in a weli known southern town
and the hall of course was crowded
as It always Is when he is announced
TO give one of his inimitable lectures.
Nine. Balfour, who was visiting in
that town at the time, was asked Ia
sing previous to the appearance OF
the famous lecturer. She sang the
waltz song from Gounod's "Romeo
and Juliet" While she was singing
the senator sat in the wings of the
theater, seemingly lost in deep
thought, never taking his eyes from
the singer. When she had finished
and while the crowd was still shout
ing themselves hoarse, a smile came
over his face and he seemed to sud
denly1 awake from a dream.
After being recalled time and time
again, Nine. Bahour gave "The Las
Rose of Summer" and as she sang
this old and well loved melody. the
senator wiped a tear from his cheek

TO serve for the honors II had heaped
upon him. The stalwart Republi.
cans from Western Kentucky say

as strong as any man the Democrats

Of all Western Kentucky Republicans
and its depth and its breadth we're
attested only yesterday by Postmas-
ter Frank NJ Fisher, of Paducah,
who was in Louisville. Mr.. Fisher
was asked il he had any choice for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor. 81 not only have a choice, :"
said he, but all the Republicans in
Western Kentucky have one. Their
choice Is Attorney-General James
Breathitt, and from what / can hear
he is very apt to be the choice of
the Republicans OF the whole state.
II nominated Judge Breathitt would
go to the front. He is a strong man
and | am OF the opinion that the
party in Western Kentucky is going
TO ask for his nomination"

er. "He has worked hard for the
party and | feel that he Is entitled
to some reward" Mr.. Fisher did not
suggest any reason as to why the
district attorneyship had not been
awarded by the president. He APP
peared. however, to be thoroughly
satisfied with the situation. The ap-
Dlicants for this office. however. are
on the anxious seat. They have been
watching and waiting for many
months. NJ. II. Thatcher thought he
had the place long ago. Mr.. Speight
thinks that he has 1t nailed down
and Judge George Du Relic. the III
cumbent, is said to have had reason
TO believe that he would be reap
pointed. President Taft appears to
be taking his time and is going TO
keep the contestants waiting while
longer.
