Mrs. Wilson

Scarcely had the people
learned Of her illness until the
sad intelligence of her death
was flashed to them. Then
the nation was hushed and ST.
lent in full, tender, sweet
sympathy with him who had
received the blow.
For months her life was
slowly Slapped by an incurable
malady; yet she bravely bore
its ravages and put sunshine
in her husbands life, giving to
him an inspiration and help
that only a faithful, loving wife
can impart.
Hers was a life of devotion
to high ideals and her work
has been indelibly impressed
on the public mind. This work
is not ended yet and she will
live in the hearts and affections
of the people.
Today she will be buried in
Rome by the side of her faith
er and mother under sweet
flowers moistened by the tears
of the nation.
The heart of the people beats
in tender compassion for the
loved ones of the stricken FAM
lily especially for him whose
grief knows no bounds. To
them we would say-There is
no death; the eternal life has
just begun.

All There, Doc!

There was quack doctor who lived out
in the hills who used two connections to
cure human ills. The one was a physic,
the other drink; he made them of soda
and colored them pink. One tweedledee
and one tweedledum; the very same bottle
was where they were from. When people
were ailing they took them to bed, ard
swallowed whichever the quack doctor
said. For people are easy and grafters
are slick, and there are more suckers than
fish in the creek. A quack politician came
out in the hills; he turned the same trick
for political ills. The one was protection,
the other free trade; he had but one bottle
from which they were made. They both
skin you proper. and when it is done you
can't tell to save you by which you were
skun; for people are easy and grafters are
slick, and there are more suckers than fish
in the creek Okla. Times

administration has done is to al
low the monopoly to buy ships
built here and there and every
where, thus striking a blow at
ship building here and allowing
the monopoly to continue in full
flower.
However, the question is a
grievous one and as the monopo-
ly was built up under republican
administrations, us democrats
should not worry. If we can't
cut out the cancer at one opera
ton, we will take several and we
will use antiseptics to prevent
the spread of the contagion:

IMPOSING ON the PRESS

Politicians are imposing on the
country press in a way that is al
most unbearable. They have all
their political dope made in plate
form and then the plate compa-
MES send it out in the form of
NEWS. Nearly every paper in
the State is thus caught to print
stuff for the use and benefit of
some candidate or else suffer to
some extent in its news columns.
No one gets anything out of this
except the plate companies. An
other feature of this imposition
is that the political headquarters
prepare and send out to the
country press newspaper which
they want them to use by copy
ing the editorials and news
items and set them up at their
own costs. Every man connected
with this headquarters is a sala-
ried man and is paid royalty. Yet
when it comes to getting the po-
litical matters to the people, they
want to use the space of the
country press for nothing and
also have the paper set it at its
own cost. This is the game that
is being worked by the political
headquarters of all parties.
Me no playee in that gamee.
No payee, no printee. If the
country press allows itself work
ed thus cit is a ass"

Luke McLuke Says
Cincinnati Enquirer

If the Prohibitionists were fair they
would fight Intemperance. Lots of men
who never touch liquor get drunk on food
two or three times a week.
There are lots of married men who are
not bigamists who have one wife too
many.
A Reformer is a gink who legaIizes
what he likes to do and prohibits what
other people like to do.
Prize fighters are not the only people
who shake hands before they start in to
hammer the stuffing out of each other.

Don't be knocker. The reason you
are so quick to recognize the faults of
others is because they are exactly like your
own,
The reason why women haven't any
pockets is because if they had any place
to keep their money they might not spend
it for clothes.
1t always looks queer to see man with
gray whiskers smoking cigarettes
Even when she wants him to kiss her,
it makes girl mad to imagine that a
young man thinks he could kiss her if he
wanted to.
Women are not as careless as you may
imagine. You may have noticed that the

always wear opaque petticoats. They are
not anxious to advertise

SOONER THAN EXPECTED

Before the country could put
into execution the plan of the
administration to tax our coast
wise shipping, the exegencies of
the day have proven the folly of
the policy.
The exemption from payment
of canal tolls on American coast
wise ships was for the purpose
of encouraging the building up
of a merchant marine to carry
the commerce of this country
from coast to coast. Seeing the
folly of repeating the tolls ex-
emption, the administration has
been forced to repeal a part OF
the laws relating to coast wise
shipping, in this that it has been
compelled to allow ships built in
foreign countries five years old
and owned by Americans, to
engage in this trade. Under the
old shipping laws this could moi
be done. Of course it was the
object of those who were howl
ing for the repeal of tolls ex
emptions to bring about just thi:
condition of affairs. 1t has come
much earlier than they dreamed
of it coming. So far as we art
concerned, we are perfectly will
ing for the whole ship monopol.
to be completely crushed. Blu
charging tolls on our coast-wis'
shipping does not crush. 1t i
merely making the American
people pay tribute to the raj
roads that come in competition
with the coast trade. The wa
to crush a monopoly is to pas
wise laws that will enable indie
pendent ship lines to compel
with the monopoly. What th

ORGANIZE NOW

In this the home of Governor
McCreary, Mr.. Beckham must be
given every democratic vote.
Gov. McCreary would regret very
much to see his home county fall
down. The democrats would re-
gret it also. The way to avoid
this result, is to effectuate an or
ganization in each school district.
We have placed the democratic
ticket at the head of our col
umns. They will be opposed.
1t is probable that Gov. Wilson
and Marshall Bullitt will lead the
republican forces. The progress
sives and the republicans VIII
unite. While the leaders will MT
do so, the party will do so at the
polls.
The divisions in our party axe
small compared to those in the
other two parties. But there
should be no split of any kind
in democracy. Unite, work and
get results!

Catherine Winters
Vanished Year AGO

Telegram Dv United Press.
Newcastle, Ind, March 21.-One
year has come and gone today since
the disappearance Of Catherine Win
terss the nine-year-old daughter Of Dr.
and Mrs. w. A. Winters Of this city.
Though hundreds Of clues have been
investigated, and though DR. Winters
has impoverished himself in the
search, the mystery is as impenetra-
bic today as 1t was a year ago DR..
Winters still appears confident that
Catherine win be found. He still
cherishes the theory that she was kio.
naped, and believes with many Others
that gypsies were responsible. though
all attempts to locate gypsy bands
near Newcastle at that time failed.
Reports bearing every evidence Of
plausibility have come from all parts
Of the United States to the effect that
the Winters child was found or that
persons had confessed the kidnapping,
but under the personal investigation
of Or. Winters or local authorities
they were disproved The disappear
anee was just prior to the disastrous
flood Ct last spring, aud some believe
the little sirl was drowned and swept
away by the waters. A special grand
Jury investigation disclosed nothing.
Congressman Finly Gray Of this dis
trict, has asked congress to enact a
law better protecting the home from
kidrapers. but this appears to be the
onh tangible result of the country
wide search.
