BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

The opening of the Democratic cam
paign in the State of Kentucky at Som
erset was an suspicious one for the par
ty. Gov. McCreary, ex-Gov. Beckham,
Senator James and a long list of faith
full Democrats addressed the multitude
there assembled and were listened to
with rapt attention. It was something
in the nature of Democratic love feast.
Since then, the Democratic campaign
orators have been busy IN various sec
tions of the State and everywhere they
have been met by a united party, de-
termined to win a great victory at the
coming election.
Gov. Beckham, while young man, is
probably one of the best-known men in
the State and stands well with the party,
and his following is enthusiastic. Sem
ator Camden adds to the strength of the
campaign his own charming PERSONAL
ty. With these two men as the leaders,
the Democracy of Kentucky need have
no fear of defeat, unless, indeed, such a
thing should be brought about by oyer
confidence.
1t is the duty of every Democrat to be
present at the polls on the day of the
election and cast his ballot for the sue
cess of the party. A party is sometimes
defeated by its stay-at-home vote. A
thorough organization should be effect
ed in this county with view of bring
ing out every possible vote and let the
county of Madison give for the distin-

guished nominees one of the largest
majorities in its history. We should be
especially anxious that this result be &C
complished, for the reason that Gov.
McCreary. one of the defeated candi-
dates in the primary, would be very
gratified to know that his home county
cast more than it's usual vote. 1t should
be zone also because Democracy can be
kept triumphant only when its voters
come to the polls and work with might
and main for the success of its party
principles as well as the success of its
party nominees.

The instrument was placed in the tonneau and the notemaker sat in front beside the driver, the tube from the dicta- phone being carried over his shoulder. The practicality of the Cadillac two-

BROWNELL TALKS ABOUT FORDS

That the Ford motorcar finds favor
 In the eyes of officers of municipal gov ernments because of its low prices Is
 the opinion of Blaine Brownell of the Brownell Motor company. He says: Municipalities of the United States
 are rapidly adopting the Ford idea of transportation, and already there are many hundreds of the Universal Car used to transact the business of various civic departments. Newark alone has 40 Fords in city service. and Cleveland 26, while hundreds of other municipali- ties, ranging from town to metropolis, are using one or more.
 From the beginning the Ford has been popular with city officials Modern business demands automobile transpor- tation, for only by the use of the motor car can city officials and employees do their work with the greatest economy and expedition. Public works depart-
 ments. school boards, sewer, road and park employees, fire departments, water
 boards-in short, the innumerable branches of the great business of run ming a city find the motorcar indispen- sable, and 1t Is no longer uncommon for the boards of aldermen and similar legislative bodies to pass large appro- priations for the purchase of city cars "The Ford probably finds favor be- cause the initial expense Is low and the upkeep is reduced to the minimum. while It's durability and adaptability are recognized. It is always difficult
 matter to keep the city budget down
 low enough to keep the taxes reason-
 able and bonded indebtedness for mu- |nicipalities Is restrained by law Therefore the idea of being able to buy at least two cars for what otherwise be demanded for one. and yet be sure that the work will be done with the maximum efficiency and the lowest up-
 Keep, appeals to the average city | father.
 The Ford branch at Boston, serving all the smaller cities and towns of
 Massachusetts, such as Lowell Glouces- ter, Springfield and Waltham, reports
 that it has sold 55 Fords for municipal use. Cleveland has record of 35 of which 26 are within the city. The
 New York City territory has 93 in op- eration, while Los Angeles has sold 65
 to municipalities in its territory"

It Is admitted that the price of every rood product. clothing, and in fact all other necessities of life. have advanced 10 something nearly double those in vogue 10 years ago. And yet, during this period of continuous upward trend of prices in the commodities of life. the price of the automobile has been on the decrease. The purchasing power of B dollar in the automobile industry to- day is 25 per cent greater than 1t was a year ago. This Is the day of enlight- nnment in the automobile world.
 All persons who think" of automo- biles know that in every class or type of motorcar the value is from 25 to 35 per cent greater this year than 1t was a year ago. Scientific manufacturing methods, quantity production and care in distribution has brought about this radical adjustment in automobile prices. Ingenious economies in manu- fracture have also done wonders for the purse of the great automobile buying public-approXimate as much as much afp- shrdl cmfwy etaoin vbgkq buying.

 General Pancho' Villa also uses a Packard in covering the field. The ton- neau of the touring body has been equipped with special auxiliary seats for members of the stan.

 Folsom. Cal.-Inmates of Folsom pen- itentiary take kindly to the university extension course of the University of Cal ifornia. says a report of Warden J. j.. Smith to Governor Johnston.
 The report covers prison improvements of the last two years, made possible large ly through legislative appropriations.
 The prisoners. it is reported. specialize in large variety of subjects offered by the extension courses. and their efforts are aided by weekly visits from a univer- sity instructor who holds classes in the prison.
 Entire segregation of tubercular prls- oners and those suffering from other in- Fectuous diseases is now possible at the institution for the first time in its his tory. according to Warden Smith, and a complete ventiating system sends pure air through every cell.
 The prison farm of 300 acres is now ready to produce all the vegetables for the prisoners mess, and the convcts also will grow their own tobacco.
 The new cellhouses, to cost sl0o, GOO, are nearing completion.

 Of course he was very angry when he learned the invitation was a sham and a pretense. To mollify him Squire Scanlan extended a Manila cigar, with out band. The prisoner lighted it. with the anticipatory look of the con- noisseur Schmidt asked him how he liked it.
 In Swedish the man replied: s1t is not Havana, but 1t comes from over the water"
 Schmidt inquired of the stranger why he had not answered before when Schmidt addressed him in Swedish.
 T have not asked you what national- ity you are,' the stranger returned, net- ulantly. What business is it of yours, anyway"
 After consultation 1t was decided to send the old man on his way Captain Mulhall gave him some money and sent him to Philadelphia.

WOMAN TAKES JOB
 AS A TOWN MARSHAL.
Councils Offer, Made in a Spirit of Levity, Snapped Up by News
 paper Writer

Blanche D. Ingalls,. editor and part owner of the Chesaning Monitor, a week. ly newspaper, has been appointed mar shal to fill the vacancy caused by the dismissal of the man officer some weeks ago, says Chesaning, Mich, special to the New York World. She has formally accepted the appointment and says she will begin the work of improving the morals of the town at, once.
 The old marshal was dismissed be- cause the village officials had no money sooner off the job than things that up- set the peace and dignity of this staid little town began to happen.
 Miss Ingalls, also began to write and in her paper said uncomplimentary things about the way things were being run. The whole place was going to the bad because there was no one to maintain order, she often hinted.
 But the officials remained firm until now and kept the marshal job open until z 'pecial meeting of the council was called and the president named man for the place. The other members de- clined to confirm the appointment, and Miss 1ngalfs name was suggested. The vote for her was unanimous, partly, she says. because they thought I wanted to run the town."
 At the outset Marshal Ingalls, faces a knotty problem, as there is no jail fit to house a human."
 And" she says. q am never going to lock anybody up in that place they call a jail. don't know what I'm going to do. but I'm going to do something. Things will begin to pop here pretty quick and I am going to be right in the center of the pepper.
 "They think perhaps I don't know what to do with this job, and that I have had too much to say about the way things were going here and just to let me get a taste of it they made the appointment.
 'I am 37 years old and single. and they can't kid me by offering me the job. I fooled them; I accepted
