Investigate First.

If any democratic congressman
feels tempted to vote against the
reduction embodied in the Under
wood bill, let him, before yield
ing to the temptation, find out
how many of his constituents
get the benefit of the tariff and
how many bear its burdens
Then let him ask himself why a
few constituents who ask for
favors should be given more con-
sideration than the mass of his
constituents who believe in
equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. "-Conmon-

every country and age has
shown that the fruitfulness of
soil depends on adequate water
supply; no water, no crops, no animals,
no human life-indeed, no soil.
Soil is Of three parts-one solid, an
other fluid and the third gaseous. The
solid part consists Of mineral and Or
ganic matter In fragmentary or granu-
lar condition. 1t forms the stable
body Of the soil. The fluid part Is a
solution consisting Of water carrying
mineral and organic matter. 1t forms
the circulatory medium of soil and
plants. The gaseous part consists Of
air nitrogen and OXYGEN mixed with
aqueous vapor, carbon, dioxide, hydro
gen dioxide, etc. 1t peg Aeates the body

Of the circulatory fluid, changes in tenn
perature and barometric pressure, etc.

known as soil body, soil fluid and soil

Why You Should Vote For Arnett.

Since the August Primary is
rapidly approaching and the time
will soon arrive to select the
democratic nominee for State
Senator from the 34th Senatorial
district composed of Morgan, Ma
coffin, Breathitt, Wolfe and
Owsley counties, it is time for
the people to determine who the
nominee should be.
Owsley county has less than
three hundred democratic votes
and within the last 26 years has
had two democratic nominees
for the Senate. in the person of
Senator Roberts and Senator
Hogg, who is seeking re-nomina-
tion. During all that time Nor
gan county has had one nomi-
nee who was defeated in the
republican landslide which came
all over the district that year and
elected Senator Sewell, of this
county.
Morgan county has 210O demo
cratic voters and is entitled to
the Senator for this term, and
that county has for it's candidate,
Hon. Charles D. Arnett.
Mr.. Arnett belongs to one of
the largest families in the noun
tains; was reared in Magofin
county and is extensively related
in Breathitt and is we'll known in
a large portion of Wolfe county.
In poverty and under very ad-
verse circumstances he obtained
a liberal education, has made a
success in business, has been ad-
mitted to the bar as a practicing
attorney, and is a man of con-
siderable information and ability
and in all respects well qualified
to fill the position to which he
aspires.
He has always been a loyal
democrat and has sacrificed his
own personal ambition for po-
litical position and power to help
his friends. He withdrew -four
years ago as a candidate that
Senator Hogg might be nomina-
ted and that absolute party har-
mony might prevails and worked
like a Trojan to bring about the
election of Senator Hogg.
! If nominated and elected he
will never betray the confidence
of the people; will not pose as a
temperance reformer and then
ally himself with the Whiskey
Trust; he will not go to Frank
fort to champion the cause of {
lot of red nosed distillers, but
will vote to carry out the wishe!
of the majority of his constit
} uency.
Having known Charles Arnet
all my life, and our boyhood day.
; having been spent together,
feel that owe it to him to sa!
something in his behalf and in
dorse him, and in all candor
feel that every good democra
, of Wolfe county owes it to Chas
!. D. Arnett, who is our neighbo
:. and who lives in our own Legis
3 lative Distrit, to go to the poll
t and cast his vote for him. w

WORLD FAVORS
THE OPEN CAUCUS.

The New York World commenting
on the open caucus which was pro-
posed by Congressman Carlin of this
city, says:
"In adopting the open caucus the
Republicans of the, house have made
the most of the opportunity which
the Democrats recently neglected.
They are entitled to the credit O.
having taken the lead IN a reform Of
which the purpose is to do away with
secrecy IN party conferences on
matters of Legislation and policy. The
course they have chosen calls fjr
praise. Voluntary publicity is good
evidence of frankness and honesty Of
intention.
In spite of their reluctance soon-
er. or later the Democrats must fol-
low the Republicans example. They
cannot evade their own responsible
ity to the public by saying tina. what
a minority party does and discuss
in its caucus makes no rea! differ
ence since it has not Jne power to
control the legislation and action CT
the House. Because they are in con-
troll is the very best reason way the
Democratic majority should accept
the open caucus as a matter nj party
principle"

FIRM RELIGIOUS FAITH.

There is an erroneous impression
among many disciples of Jesus Christ
that the kingdom of heaven IS neces-
saiily barred against rich man.
Most of such take their stand
on the colIoquy between the rich young
ruler and the Great Teacher, and, re-
fusing to examine the words Of the
evangelist, draw conclusions cruel and
unfounded. The young man, born inch
through no fault of his own, was a:
much concerned about his future as
the man who first saw the light o.
day in hove. He asked, in an
humble manner, ito be directed into the
path of eternal life and his question
was answered. He was told to keep
the commandments, and he, doubtless
from his inward conscience, answered
that he had He, however, seemed to
desire to go to his ne plus utra-or, in
other words, 10 do something beyond
simply inheriting Immortality and
was told if he would be perfect, to sell
what he had and give to the poor and
take up his cross. We are told, ne
went away sorrowful, having great
possessions. But the words, "And
Jesus looking upon him, loved him."
should not be passed over hurriedly.
A Philadelphia preacher few days
ago closed the gates of Paradise to j.
Pierpont Morgan because he had
great possessions. This minister car
ried no x-rays and he has no idea
whatever of the spiritual warnings of
the late financier, who, though great,
humbly bowed to mis- Creator.
