There is great JOY among quite
a number of editors in Kentucky.
After fighting the good fight they
are going to be rewarded with Off
ces by the next administration of
that commonwealth. In felicitat-
ing the fortunate ones the Paducah
News Democrat says:
"If there is one class of toilers
who deserve some recognition of
their labor, it is the country editor.
He does more for the success of the
political party he favors than any
one and receives nothing in re-
turn"

If a compromise of the two fac
tions of the Democratic party in
Tennessee means that the party
must take over the whisky interest
as an asset there will be enough
Independent voting to defeat the
party in any State election, and
those seeking a compromise had as
well understand that proposition
now as later. Many decent people
of Tennessee are not going to be
dominated by the whisky power of
the State without making protest.

Last month this paper published an
account of the great Land Show to be
held in New York City on November
3 to IL, to get the most Industrious
New Yorkers-both Native Americans
and foreigners-out to the broad acres
of the country, away from the over
crowded, unhealthy cities, where work
is scarce and hard to find. Much has
been done since then. The farmers all
over the country are going to try and
get that James j. Hill cup away from
the Northwest. We must prevent this
by raising better wheat and must have
big exhibit from this section-so that
we will not only have the best chance
to win this valuable $1,000 Cup, but
that many of the New Workers will
come to our section and buy land. We
need more good neighbors and must help
boom this locality and also the Great
Northwest.
What You Must Do to Win This Cup.
The conditions are very simple and
easy and any farmer or grower in the
United States can easily compete for
this cup.
