DEMOCRATS WIN sweeping VICTORY.
Big Majority in House Of Representatives and
Probable Control Of Both Houses.
with 81 States for Wilson, 6 for Roosevelt and for TAFT
the Result Is Without Parallel in History
Of Presidential Elections.
Twenty-Five States Elect Democratic Governors. Seven Republican. and One
Progressive F. Butler, Republican, Wins Over Robertson
In Circuit Judge Race Langley and Fields Reelected
---Tuna Wins for Appellate Judge.

BY the greatest majority given to
a presidential candidate in the his
tory OF the nation Woodrow Wilson
has been elected to the greatest Of
flee known TO government Not only
so. but both Houses OF Congress Will
be OF the same political faith. So
far as the race for the presidency Is
concerned the result was foretold
months ago. From the very nature
and condition OF things II could not
have been otherwise. II is useless
a this hour TO say what the condl-
lions were, or TO comment upon
them. Every reader OF the newspa-
pers knows what brought about the
success OF the Democratic Nationa'
ticket, and II 10 not profitable to
strain the milk again.
BY the election OF Woodrow Will
son and Democratic Congress, both
Senate and House. there will be q
complete change In the administra'
ton OF the affairs OF the country,
but there viii be no Revolution. The
United States Is neither Mexico nor
yet South America. On the Fourth
OF next March President Wilson and
his cabinet viii take hold of the af-
fairs OF the Government. and there
will not be the slightest Jar. AS a
people we have prospered, and II is
our belief that as a people we will
continue to prosper and that under
proper down revision OF the tariff
the laboring man. the wage-earner,
In fact all classes but the Trusts
will prosper more than they pros
pered under the policy that catered
to the rich alone.
with the assumption OF its tre-
mendous sower the Democratic party
assumes tremendous responsibility.
Its President and It's platform have
promised much. and II may rest as
sured that the people will hold IT
and It's leaders to a strict account.
The NEWS believes that the DEM
ocratic party viii redeem every
pledge made by either its magnifI-
cent leader or its platform.

FARMERS Interested.
The Agricultural School Holds Sue
Cessful Session In Louisa.

The Extension Division of the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station whichSis conducting a series
Cf Extension Schools" over the
State. is now in the Big Sandy val
ley holding schools of agriculture
and making an agricultural survey.
The schools were at Pikeville, Pres
tonsburg, Paintsyille and are now
in Louisa.
Prof. T. R. Bryant, who is in
charge Of the work, said in recent
interview:
Each section Of the State pre-
sents Its peculiar problems but at
the same time its peculiar possible
ties. In many of the sections visit
ed, work has already been done by
the extension service and the re-
suits. before the very eyes of the
local people are so striking that the
demand for further instruction and
help is greater than can be properly
cared for.
THE instructors of the extension
schools report from their reconnais-
sance that fruit growing and
poul--y raising are The most promis-
ing Industries for the mountains
and they are getting in touch with
farmers with whom they will later
take up systematic work on their
home farms.
1.-THE agricultural possibilities OF
Kentucky are beyond comprehension
and 1t is living reproach that fruit
dairy products and other food-stuffs
are continually shipped into ouI
State.
While 1t is large task to put
Kentucky agriculture where it be
longs, it is predicted that within {
few years the Importation of farm
products will be replaced by brisl
export business. thus putting oui
balance of trade in better shape"

A BARREL OF WASTE.

The alarm of fire about O'Clock
on Friday morning last was caused
by the burning of a barrel of
waste Some rapscallions who
thought they we're having good
time took the waste from a car and
set 1t On fire. It made "a bright
light. leading many to think the
flour mill was burning.

Butler Wins in Judges Race.

Practically complete returns from
all the 2S precincts in Pike county
give John F. Butler majority OF
1873 votes over Judge ]. NJ. Rober-
son in the Circuit Judge race, and
LetchHr county will add about go
additional majority to this scall vic
tory. Butler being the Republican
candidate, should have rallied a
much larger majority in Pike coun-
ty alone 1t is now safe to say his
total majority in this Judicial dis
trict will not exceed 200 votes.

SAFETY FOR Miners.
Interesting Exhibition Of Rescue Work
Now in This Section.

Mine safety car No. of the Unit
ed States Bureau Of Mines, in charge
OF Mlrer Foreman, D. ] Price ana
a crew of expert miners, reached
Paintsville on Friday. Nov. l. on a =
1tour of eastern Kentucky. The csr
will be on exhibition at Paintsville
until Nov. 10, at which time 1t will
leave for Prestonsburg. Illustrated
lectures on greater safety in mining
are being given every evening.
This mine safety car is one Of
eight that constitute the life saw
ing service of the Bureau Of Mines
for the rescue of miners in time OF
disaster. Each car is fully man
ned by a corps of miners trained In
rescue work and equipped with the
latest rescue apparatus and first all
to the injured and is ready at
moments notice to proceed to the
scene of disaster, where the res
cue corps, in cooperation with the
state mining officials will do every-
thing possible to save entombed
miners.
The saving Of human life is the
emergency feature of general cam
paign of educational work among tn
miners who will not only be taught
the use of the rescue apparatus, but
also the proper way to take care OF
an injured miner. There will also
be illustrated lectures on the use
of explosives, electrical equipment
in the mines, fire prevention, sani-
tation and first aid surgical treat
ment. These lectures are to be Civ
en- in the car whenever suitable
meeting place can not be procured.
The car contains eight oxygen he'll
NETS, supply of oxygen in tanks,
one dozen safety lamps. one field,
telephone with 1000 feet Of wire, a
collapsible steel mine cage for emer-
Igencies, resuscitating apparatus
known as the pulmotor, for reviv-
ing asphyxiated to-the-iniured. One
end of the car is fitted up as an air
tight room to be used in training
men in the use of the oxygen he'll
NETS. This room will be filled with
noxious fumes, and the miners wear
ing the helmets will remain inside
4 for two hours in an atmosphere that
would kill without helmets. These
are the helmets that permit one to
enter mine Immediately following
an explosion while it is still filled
with poisonous gases, and breathe
artificially. The absence of the he'll
NETS at great catastrophes in the
United States, has, It is believed, re-
suited in greater loss of life than
was necessary. Frequently miners
who have not suffered physical in-
Jury have been entombed In tina
mine to die slowly from the inhala-
tion of the poisonous gases. Had it
been possible to reach these men
within few hours, their lives
might have been saved The he'll
nets proved their worth at the i'll
fated Cherry mine when the rescuers
succeeded in getting twenty men out
alive after they had been entombed
seven days. In number Of other
instances, miners have been saved
u terrible deaths by the prompt
arrival OF the helmeted rescuers.

tainty regarding the Senate TO make
the situation indefinite.
The undecided character Of the
outlook concerning the Senate is du'
to the fact that in order to outline
the prospect It is necessary to have
returns on the Legislature from the
various States which, owing to the
fact that the members of Legislator
es are counted among minor offices,
are generally among the last to be

NapoIeon,s Concentration.

The leading military principles of Ma
poleon were to seize the initiative by
concentrating ones forces from marsh-
ing into fighting order as quickly as
possible and, having massed the troops
as compactly as effective action will
permit, to attack swiftly. This attack
must be upon a portion only Of the
enemy's army, and the weight of ones
whole force must be crowded in, so
that at the point of action a decided
superiority is attained. This theory
of action he often explained to his gen
erals. Moreau, In conversation with
Napoleon in 1890, remarked that 1t
was always the greater numbers that
won, to which Napoleon replied: You
are right. When, with inferior forces,
I had a large army before me | con-
centrated mine rapidly and fell like
lightning upon one Of the enemy's
wings and routed it. Then l took ad-
vantage of the confusion which this
maneuver never failed to produce In
the opposing army to attack 1t on an
other point, but always with my whole
force. Thus I beat 1t in detail, and the
victory which was the result was al
ways, as you see, the triumph of the

Dogs are employed to test hashish.
This Is manufactured from female

administered to dogs induces a peculiar
pathological condition, if the drug is
correctly prepared, which is seen in no
other animal save man himself.
