An Afflicted Family.

Edscar Elan. aged 81 years, of Gar
rard county, died last week of what a
number of physicians who saw him
diagnosed as virulent hydrophobia.
Elan is said to have been bitten or
scratched by negro in an alteration
two weeks before and little attention
was paid to the injury at the time.
Elam was brother of Calvin Elam.
who about eighteen months ago met
his death by fall from a telephone
pole while he was in the employ of the
Bourbon Home Telephone Co.. in this
city. Elan was engaged as a lineman
and the accident occurred during an
electric storm, it being alleged that
he came in contact with an electric
light wire, which threw him from the
pole. In the fall his neck was broken.
Some time ago the father of the two
boys, Levi Elan. while engaged in
cutting wood lost an eye as result OF
being struck by a flying splinter. In
the past two years two members of the
family have met with violent deaths
and the father suffered serious acci
dent.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
For That Reason.

"Our own clear conviction as Demo
Gratis is that, in the last analysis. the
only safe and legitimate object of the
tariff duties, as of taxes of every kind,
is to raise revenue for the fsupport of
the Government. Tariff duties, as the
Republican party has employed them,
have not been a means of setting up
an equitable system of protection.
They have been on the contrary, a
method of fostering special privilege.
They have made it easy to establish
monopoly in our domestic markets.
Trusts have owed their origin and
their secure power to them. The
economic freedom OF our people, our
prosperity in trade, our untrammeled
energy in manufacture depend upon
their reconsideration from top to bot
tom in an entirely different spirit. 1t
is obvious that the changes we make
should be made only at suck. a rate and
in such a way as will least interfere
with the normal and EhealthfuI course
of commerce and manufacture. But
we shall not on that acc cunt act with
timidity, as if we did not know our
own minds, for We are certain of our
ground and of our object. There
should be an immediate revision and it
should be downward, unhesitatingly
and steadily downward.
These are Governor Wilson's views
on the tariffs and the trusts. They
are the views of the great majority of
the Americans. They are the distin-
gushing characteristics between the
purposes of Mr.. Wilson's candidacy
and those OF Mr.. Taft and Roosevelt.
For that reason. the great majority
of American voters are going to disre-
gard party labels ir order to give Mr..
Wilson their support.

Lever Agricultural Bill.

The Lever agricultural bill, the OBJ
ject of which is to maintain a tarm
demonstrator in every agricultural
county in the United States, passed
the lower house of Congress in August
and is now in the hands of the Senate
Committee on Agriculture and Fores
try for consideration.
The Lever bill has the unqualified
Endorsement of the National Soil Fer
tility League and of many other orga-
pizations which recognize the need of
increased agricultural production. In
one form or another it has been before
Congress for several years and the
present bill is an improvement OIL those
previously offered.
1t provides for fixed appropriation
from the Federal Treasury of $4,000
per year Internationally to every
State. 1t further provides conditional
appropriations beginning with $500. 900
a year July /. 1913 to be pro rated
population. This appropriation in
creases every year by the sum of $780,,
600 until maximum of S3.OO0,0 600 is
reached in 1923. No state will receive
it's prorata of this sum until it ap-
prOpriates an equal amount for the
same purpose. The money goes to and
is expended by the State College of
Agriculture in each state. At least Is
per cent of the money must be used
for actual field demonstrations per
cent may be used for printing and pub
licarIons, and the remaining 20 per
cent may be used for either household
economics or for further field demon
strations.
AS figured out by its advocates it
will cost the people of the United
States sbout eight cents per capita to
maintaint his scientific army in the ag-
riculturaI field. eff the increased crop
value is only twenty per cent" says
President Gross, of the National Fer
tility League. "the gain on one years
crop would pay the cost of keeping up
this work for $50 years" The plan.
he believes, would in a few years,
"double the production from the farm,
make farming vastly more profitable,
reduce the cost CT living and give us q
large surplus for support.
The value of farm demonstration has
has been shown so often and IN sc
many different localities as to admit OF
no doubt. Denmark is said to be the
finest agricultural country on the
globe, and it vas made by farm dem.
onstration. A generation or two age
Denmark was in hard lines and it was
determined to apply scientific agricul.
ture as a remedy. The farm :demon,
strators were sent out on. much the
same plan as proposed in the Lever
bill. and the experiment proved Ito be
great success, bringing nation
from poverty to aff1uence.
Every state in the Union is trying
to do something to increase agricultu-
raj production, and the Federal Gov
eminent is cooperating, but not to the
extent that is demanded by the urgen-
cy of the situation. By the Lever bill
it is proposed to provide way by
which every state. can take up and car
ry on the work through the substantial
assistance of the nation.

TEDDY BETRAys
HIS FRIENDS

Madison, Wis, Oct. 1.-THE story of
how Roosevelt betrayed LaFollette in
the race for the presidential nomina-
.tion is told in this weeks issue of La
Follette's magazine Last week S chap
ter only laid the foundation. Accord
ng to Senator LaFollette, Roosevelt urg-
ed him to lead the progressive cause
and then when he saw LaFollette IS
candidacy was succeeding, he under
mined it in order to grab the nomina
tion for himself.
After the colonel s tour of the west,
early in 1911, writes LaFollette, Roose
welt decided that the progressives
should put forth candidate against
Taft. Wilson Gardner, newspaper cor
respondent, came to LaFOllette, bear
ing this message from Roosevelt
''That l (LaFollette) should be that
candidate, and that l should get into
the fight at once.'
La Toilette, said the colonel, was the
natural leader of the progressives, for
he had done the pioneer work. Roose-
welt could not-so the message ran
openly advocate LaFollette's candidacy
against Taft, but he would commend La
Toilette s work in the Outlook and
help as he could from time to time.
On April 30 conference of progress
sives was held in Washington. All
agreed that they should unite on can
didate to concentrate the movement.
"There is but one man who should
be considered,' said Senator Cummins,
"and that is Senator LaFollette. -
Cummins, the senator adds, pledged him
his own support.
LaFollette said he hesitated. 81 esti-
mated my own worth to the progressive
cause too highly he says, "to consent
to being used as candidate for time
and then to serve some Interior purpose
conveniently broken and cast upon the
scrap heap
Then came a conference of Pinchot
and others with Roosevelt, as result
of which LaFollette was informed that
Roosevelt would not make a public an
nouncement to that effect; that LaFol-
lette should go ahead, and if he could
not win the nomination in the conven-
| tion, then Roosevelt might possibly
step in as a candidate; but meartim. i.
''the wires should not be crossed
The wire, however, seem to have got
badly crossed. According to LaFolette
they crossed even in his headquarters at
Washington, where Medill Mccormick
so he charges-after volunteering nj:
services, sidetracked an important ar
ticle telling of LaFonette's record, in
tended for campaign distribution, and
tried to send out, instead, an article

cidental expenses of the biennial period
were less than one-third what they had
been under the Orman administration.
Thus they continued during the admin
istratioI of Governors Mcdonald and
Butehel, although owing to the increase
in the number of departments and the
natural growth of the business Of the
state, considerable increase might
reasonably have been expected.
AS a result of this economical ad
minist-ation, Treasurer Bent in his Of
ficial report for the biennial period
ending November 80, 1908, reported
that although the Legislature had ap.
plopriated $150,O0O more than the esti
mated revenue, still all appropriations
had been paid in full, and there waS
'cmaIhing a surplus of 100000.
After that report was issued the su,
plus increased, so that when the Shd
frotl administration came in it found
$j04, 26467 to the credit OF the state i'll
the possession of the treasurer
Finding the treasury in this unpre
cedented condition, the new democratic
Legislature and administration general
ly set to work to empty it, They ap.
propriated over a million more than
had been appropriated in the previous
biennial period, the exact amounts be
ing 81 416,467.25 and $3,494, ,22lf91,
and before the Severt eenth general as
scliu,y extra sessions met, tne r.gIlrr
revenues were exhausted, the surplus
was gone and the Legislature had 10
loot the supreme court library fund and
the state canal fund to pay itself its
per diem for the first three weeks oc
the session. And at that, the 100000
solemnly pledged to the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners for getting up re-
bellion against state authority, de-
stroying lives and dynamiting property
had not yet been paid.
So much for the purely financial side
of the two kinds of party administra-
tion. AS regards the carrying out of
the platform pledges other than those
for honest and efficient and economical
government, brief review will suffice.
In the platform Of 1906, the repub
lican party not content with standing
upon its record, placed in its platform
a number of PLEDGES and recommenda
tions for further reform.
These pledges and recommendations
were carried out.
Among the measures of this f..ai
were these.
