company of women inspired by love
of country.
The splendid reports published
from committees devoted to ''Preser-
walton of Historic Spots" to "Sup-
pressiOn Of Child Labor" to forming
of childrcn's patriotic societies bear
witness to the fact. In all these
movements Kentueky's Daughters
have borne their part. Kentucky's
laws for the suppression Of child
labor are among thS best in the
union. Her contribution to the cause
of patriotic education in the noun
tain districts have befn considerable
and are annually incl Easing.
In marking historic spots, the D.
A. r. have been uniting, Kentucky
being singularly rich in places of he
role interest. Each chapter is de-
voted TO the accomplishment Of some
special work. One Of the youngest,
Hart Chapter Of Winchester, has not
been idle. Each year, has made lib
eral donations to southern education
al work, has given, annually, med
al in our public school to the pupil
having the highest average in histo-
ry, has promised tor furnish and
maintain a room in our proposed hos
pital; has given to Associated Char
tiles, and many other causes.
The true spirit and high aim OF
this society of D. A. +. are just be-
ginning to be understood in our com
munity and the prospects of future
growth and earnest wofth is all that
could be deserved.
All the efforts of T. Daughters
are expended along il les sinsularly
appropriate to the endeavor Of wo-
men who have it in their power to
so foster and encourage in their re-
spective conahunities that sturdy
love of country and her best inter-
ests, which alone can create de-
mand for distinterested legislation,
and which alone can supply the fu-
sion fire. which will blend the di-
verse elements of our civilization in
to the great farce for international
good. which seems the fitting destiny
of this Land OF the Free.

cense was secured Vanhook request
ed the clerk to withhold it from pub
LEGATION.
In 1910 VanhOOk was selected to
teach the school at Trap. He made
an excellent teacher and was pop
ular with the patrons Of the school.
Vanhook's teaching, however, was
his undoing, for State Inspector
looking over the books in County Su-
perintendent Lanter's Office saw the
mans name and recognized him as
the husband of a destitute wife and
the father Of three children in Pu-
laski county.
"That man teaching school here
and his wife and children starvingw
exclaimed the Inspector.
In order to verify his discoveries,
the Inspector directed Srperintend-
ent Lanter to write to Pulaski. This
he did and found that Vanlfook was
the same man.
Mrs. VanhoOk and her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Oaks, were notified
that Vanhook had living wife and
suit was brought for divorce, charg-
ing Vanhook with bigamy. 1t is
said that Mrs. Vanhook would not
have brought the suit, had she not
been urged to do so by her parents.
The warrants states that Oaks
was first informed Of his son-in-
laws other wife in April, 1911-a
period of four years after the mar
riage; that Mrs. Oaks questioned
Vanhook about his previous wife and
that he left soon after and has not
since been back to this city.
According to friends Of the couple
they were very happy together and
it is not believed that Mrs. Vanhook
desired separation.
Mr.. Oaks would probably not have
prosecuted Vanhook, further than
TO secure a divorce, had not the re-
cent correspondence been discovered.

stances owing to Vanhook's deser-
ton.

Vote Right in September.

Next September's vote in Maine will
be the most important in years. 1t
may mean little to you who is selected
10 public office. 1t may even mean lit
tie to your children in after years who
is to be President of the United
States; for Time has a way of right :
ing economic or political errors But
it does mean much to you ana your
posterity whether Maine shall be mas
ter of the saloon or slave to the saloon
That's the issue. 1t transeends all
others in our September election.
Whatever you do, however you vote
on Federal matters, don't vote to de-
livers Maine over hand and foot TO the
saloon, as identified with Plaistedism.
We are at the parting of the ways in
Maine statehood. The one leads 4
self-respect, evolution of manhood and
womanhood The other leads to de-
generaey in physical and moral life,
to slavery to a monster that will OPP
press and by oppression conquer.

Don't let politics confuse your moral
duty.

Democracy by Night.

Nominating by night is favorite
Democratic device. In none of its
quadrennial gatherings in our recollec-
ton has the Democracy failed to use
the electric light to nominate or to
place in nomination. The Republic
cans, on the other hand have not often
been driven to this extremity. This diff
ference is due no doubt largely TO
the fact that so MANY of the Republic
can conventions have been harmoni-
Gus and devoid of bitter contests. 1t
is also due to the better arrangements
and more logical plans by the Republic
cans We question whether any previ-
Gus convention ever had to adjourn in
order to allow its chairman to deliver
his speech. although in the 1904 conven-
ton Of the Democrats at st Louis
Champ Clark was so interrupted by
noise when making his address as per-
manent chairman that he gave only a
very small part of it. Even the late
wrangle at Chicago, in spite OF its
many and Massachusetts rows, was
not quite so ill-mannered as that at st.
Louis and the present one at Balti-
1hore-Boston Transcript.
After 50 many sessions that began in
the afternoon and ended in the morn
ing, one might wonder if the much
shouted "Tnite" had not been changed
to "All night" Democracy seems to.
