This is a Democratic year every
where Early in President wilson's
administration when the Tariff BIZ
and the Revenue Bill were up for dis
cussion there was some feeling among
business men that too much legisa-
ton was being attempted, but now that
these measures have been enacted into
laws the country Is determined TO give
President wilson's .pOicies fair trial.
The Democratic majority in Congress
will be continued for the reason that
any change in National affairs at this
time would be disastrous. Men of all
parties have confidence in President
wilson's patriotism and Judgment, es-
pecially at this critical time when the
very wisest management is needed to
save the country from disaster Pres
ident Wilson deserves a vote of con
lidence and he will get it not only IN
Kentucky but in every other state
where the issue has been raised

The voters Of the Tenth district, re-
CARELESS of politics, should unite to
retire John Langley from Congress on
the first Tuesday in November He
has been there a long time He is abb
solutely out of harmony with the ad =
ministration, and therefore can do
nothing for his district Try Tom
Hatcher He is active and sober and
capable and will get what is needed
for the district, because he is in line
with the powers at Washington and at
Frankfort. Also, he is deeply interest =
ed in the development Of Eastern Ken
lucky and has been working for years
right along this line. Give Langley a
rest and If the Republicans should ever
by any chance come back into power,
John will be running for re-election
and it will then be time enough to de-
eide whether or not you want anymore
OF him and his promises.

Secretary VIM. J. Bryan has pointed
out how useless II is for Democrats to
say that they approve OF everything
President Wilson has done unless they
translate their words into deeds by
voting for the democratic nominees
for the Senate and for Congress in
November. The men who pretends to
be an admirer OF the President and a
supporter Of his policies and then for
any reason refuses to give him the
votes he needs in Congress to pass his
bills, reflects on his own intelligence
and sincerity. The President has
many broad plans TO improve condi-
tons everywhere and bring prosperity
to the people. II the country gives
him Republican House or Senate
these laws will never be enacted and
the President will sit idly in the White
House helpless with his hands tied.
Put your stamp under the Democratic
Rooster on the Bird Of November and
you will do more to comfort and heart
en- President Wilson than by any other
act that you can perform.

CAIN FOR BANKS
Surplus of $S,46O, $50
Exchange May Open
December |.

For the first time in eleven weeks the
banks which are members Of the Clear
ing House Association yesterday
showed a surplus above the percentage
of reserves required by law. According
to the weekly statement the surplus
now stands at SS,460,650, compared
with deficit week ago of 1884 5O.
The largest deficit shown by the banks
since the outbreak of the European
war was on August Is, when il stood
at the high figure of S47,992,2jO.
The local banking situation was also
shown to be strengthened yesterday by
a further contraction of loans amount
ing to S11,O24,00 and an increase OF
S7316,0OO in cash. The decrease in
loans was attributed to the moderate
but general liquidation of outstanding
Stock Exchange accommodations.
The deficit in the bank statement on
October II marked the eleventh sue
cessive Saturday on which the banks
had failed to show their required re-
serves. Only twice before have they
failed to maintain their reserve re-
Guirements for so long a period. Both
after the panic Of 1907 and after the
panic Of 1878 there were dehcltS re-
ported during eleven successive weeks.
In 1898 there were deficits during nine
successive weeks.
With the improved condition of the
New York hanks, due largely to the in
fux Of funds from the interior, and the
more hopeful attitude displayed by
bankers on the foreign exchange sit
uation Wall Street is getting more
hopeful OF an early reopening Of the
Stock Exchange IL was said yesterday
the banks have retired a large share Of
their Clearing House certificates and
during the last week began retiring
their emergency currency.
A governor of the Stock Exchange
who has been confirmed pessimist on
the reopening question said yesterday
he now believed that the exchange
would be open for business on Deem

THE USE OF PERFUME.

The use of unguents applied 70 the
hair and skin as an act of toilet is an
ancient custom, especially in eonnec-
ton with cleansing and bathing.
Among the Jews 1t was an almost daily
practice TO make use Of oils and per-
fumes. Luxury led 70 specially scented
oils often as a sign OF JOY, discontinued
during the time Of mourning and re-
aumed as a sign Of favor and pros
perity. The amounting of guests on ar
rival or at feasts was customary in
Christ's time. Simon's failure of hos
p.tality in this respect is commented
upon by our Lord.
Some modern dwellers in the Orient,
rerpetuating the ancient customs in an
ignorant and depraved form, too fire.
auently omit the bathing, which in an
cient times always preceded the anoint-
ing, and only the perfumes remain.
Certain perfumes have been almost
wholly monopolized by certain unde-
s!rable classes Of people. The brighter,
cleaner survivals of the ancient Gus
tom are met with in the daily life at
weddings, where guests are met with
showers Of rose leaves, or sprayed
with rose water. cologne water, orange
flower water while most costly oint-
ments are applied to the hands and
face-The Christian Herald.
