Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia, these

ton without oil, and get your
strength and vitality back quickly.
Mrs. A. A. Grabill, of Strasburg,

down and with severe cough from
which | suffered four years. / tried
different remedies, but nothing seemed
to do me any good until | took Vinol,
from which l received great benefit.
My cough is almost entirely gone. and

glad to recommend Vinol to others
who suffer as l did"
Try Vinol with the certainty that

demand for such modern farm acces'

Genius.

Progress is seen in masses, rather
than in the highest individuals.
Genius in one age is singularly
akin to genius in another. This,
for instance, is an era of feminine
revolt, and yet one of the most
moving expressions of woman's at
titude toward prevailing folly of
man is in The Trojan Women, "
and one of the most brilliant ex-
pressions of the same point of view
is in the "Lysistrata." The charm
ing heroine of Aristophanes' COM
edy lays down, in terms as fresh
as yesterday, the truth that wars
are usually brought about in order
to give occasion for stealing, and
when she is told that she cannot
understand treasury matters, she
asks, receiving no answer, wherein
it differs from domestic economy
and household finance. In the
same comedy one might we'll be re-
minded of the United States, and
of today, by the clamor for "a
man" to lead the public; not men,
not general wisdom, not superior
legislatures, but "a man." one in
who can stand out and be
dramatized. 1t is one of the never
failing charms of history that set
tings change but PRINCIPLES eter-
nally remain.

Opponent for Langley.

The Roosevelt followers of Ken
lucky are going after things right
this fall and will make a hard fight
in the Tenth district in the Con-
gressional race. In the race they
have launched a boom for "Parson"
Hopkins, of the Sandy Valley,
against Congressman Langley and
will make him their nominee. He
formerly served in Congress as a
Republican and is one of the
strongest men in the mountains.
The Roosevelt following claim that
there is considerable feeling against
Langley among Republicans.

TO KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.
Trom Lexington Herald, August l2)

From Lexington Herald, August l2)
1t begins to look like there is a
real chance to elect Hon. Ben V.
Smith to Congress from the Elev-
enth District. The Progressives
have put up strong candidate in
the person of popular engineer
of the Louisville & Nashville rail
road, who will necessarily divide
the Republican vote with Con-
gresham Caleb Powers, who
seems to have lost out with all
factions because of his failure to
please either and his inability to
land any prizes for his constitu-
ents in the shape of offices. The
people of his district have come to
the conclusion that he is absolutely
without influence in Washington
and as a Kentucky Legislator
once said of another his people
had just as well writ a letter and
kept him at home" At the last
election Mr.. Powers did not poll
near the strength of his party,
and this time he will fall short of
his former vote. The Republi-
cans no longer regard Mr.. Powers
as an asset but a liability, and
think he has been "vindicated"
sufficiently.
Conditions at present point to
the election of Mr.. Smith. He is
popular with the Republicans and
will draw many vote from
the conservative element of that
party. The Democrats of that
neck o. the woods are short of
money, however, to conduct the
campaign, which, in a district
composed of so many counties and
requires much money for neces-
sary expenses. In order to raise
a fund Colonel Woodson May,
State District Committeeman, ed
itor of the Somerset journal and
manager for Mr.. Smith, anuounc-
ed that he will attempt to raise
money for the campaign in his
district by popular subscription of
one dollar and asks that all who
want the Democrats to succeed in
that stronghold of Republicans
will send him that amount each.
The effort is commendable and
the contribution will prove an ex-
cellent investment. 1t is hoped
that all who read this article and
who feel able to do so, will send
Mr.. May a check for at least a
dollar and help the struggling
Democrats of the Eleventh Dis
trict to redeem it.
