which 1t was stated that her son
died suddenly and asked for instru.
lions as to the disposition OF the
body. Inasmuch as the message die
not state that Indications pointed
to the fact that the case was one of
suicide, Mrs. Columbus is unwilling
to believe that her son killed him

from heart disease Telegraph
dispatches. however, state that death
bad been caused by revolver shots
Mrs. Columbus Immediately wir-
ed instructions to prepare the body

TWO Boys
Charged With RObbing Same Store Two
Nights in Succession.

Information concerning the re-
cent breaking into and robbing OF
the Store OF E. E. shannon led to
tue arrest on the night OF Sept. ~
OF two boys. Milt Diamond and FL
mer Crabtree, charged with the
crime They we're lodged in Jail. aud
about o'clock on the following
morning Crabtree made his escape
with five others and is still at
large. subsequently Seaford Arnatt,
aged 10 years. was arrested charg-
ed with the same offense. He was
admitted to bail and. with Dia-
mond, will have an examination Sas-
urday, the 2Sth. Diamond and Crab
tree are each about 10 years old.
Mr.. shannon has information that
these boys had disposed of a
quantity of firearms of various
kinds and other goods taken from
his store. but none OF 1t. SO far ms
the NEWS can learn, has been rc.
covered.
The NEWS doubts il 1t will do
any good. but it can not refrain
from pointing moral in this cor
nection. These lads are probably the
victims of circumstances which. un-
der other conditions. might have
been different. The lack of parent
al control is too evident in this
community. Boys of tender years are
permitted to roam the streets at
will and at all hours, their parents
at times ignorant or careless Of
their whereabouts. The result is
Inevitable.

Time for the Farmers Innings.
One of the most effective speech
es that has been delivessd by Gov
ernor Wilson during the campaign
was that at the farmers picnic at
Washington Park, New Jersey. II
was especially prepared for the
farmers, who the Governor showed
never occupied the center of the
stage in politics, and were little con-
sidered in legislation. The farmers
have demanded no protection. but
everything they buy is protected by
a heavy tariff which in most cases
goes into the pockets of the trusts
instead of helping to pay the ex-
penses of the Government. When
tariff bills are considered it is the
interests that ask to be heard. Who
ever thought of the farmers asking
to be heard?
1T is time,' said Governor will
son "for you to break into your
own house and live there. want
you to examine very critically the
tenants who have been occupying it
1t is a very big house and very few
people have been living in it..
This good advice to the farmers
is applicable to all classes that
a. a
the hands of the Republicans. There
seems to be a general desire for a
house cleaning. and it will come in
November. If every Democrat does
his duty as we are sure they will
do when they have such an excel
lent chance to get possession of the
Government, which the Republicans
have SO long mismanaged.

or other doubtful concerns behind
Governor Wilson, who has positively
refused to accept any of their gifts.
He is depending alone on the people
to finance his campaign and he is
not reckoning in vain. When he is
elected President, as he seems sure
to be and will if every Democrat
does his duty. he will take the Of
flee free from any entanglement
and be the president of the whole
people. The prospect of such a
changes should fire the heart of
every patriotic man to help in the
accomplishment of SO glorious an
end.

JOHNSON COUNTY man

Suicide.

Paintsville, KY. Sept. 23.-Mrs.

word from the authorities at Cal
gary. Alberta that man who reg
istered at hotel there with young
woman as Mr.. and Mrs. w, Inthout,
and who later was found dead in
his bed had been positively indenti-
fled as her son, Robert Conley. and
arrangements have been made to
bring the body to this city for
burial.
The man and woman died clasped
in each others arms. according to
telegraph dispatches. and it was sup
posed that the deaths were the
result OF suicide pact. This is
discredited by relatives OF the dead
man here. however, and while it is
stated that he has been in trouble y
is not believed that this was such
as to cause him to take his life.
Ed Conley. younger brother Of
the dead man. Sunday stated that he
had seen his brother in the State
of Washington a month ago, when
the two left there and went
to Canada. Mr.. Conley left his wife

A Man Of Men.

Measured in every way and
judged by every standard, Governor
Wilson completely fills the bill of a
man who should occupy the high Of
flee of President of the greatest ma
ton on earth. Capable, scholarly,
courageous, safe and patriotic, he
will make an ideal President whose
single aim will be to obey the con-
stitution and do the greatest good
for the greatest number. His ma
Tjority should be SO large that il
will serve lasting notice to the in
tsrests that this is the government
Of ,Le people. by the people. and
not Of tho sople by the trusss.

was followed by Governor McCreary,
Speaker Champ Clark, blind Senator

Stanley, Swager Sherley and other
distinguished Democrats, who told
the story of the achievements and
hopes of reunited and militant
democracy. which fired the Demo
Gratis hearts with enthusiasm and
determination to help roll up the
largest majority in Kentucky since
the immortal Tilden carried 1t b.
sixty thousand on the platform, the
principal plank of which declared
for tariff for revenue only. Every
