to the four railroad companies. 1t
would add about enc million dollars
more to the state, and about two mil
lion dollars more to the counties.
cities, towns and school districts in the
same four years.
No man has had more to do with
this great work than Tom Rhea, and
no man now seeking nomination for
a state Office is better prepared than
he to render useful and valuable serv-
ice to the state and to the people in
the next four years. No other man
seeking this office has ever had the
slightest experience with it's duties.
Some Of his enemies, at the beginning
Of this campaign, undertook to crit
icisevhim and his record as an official,
but they had to quickly abandon such
attacks, because the published facts
clearly disproved their misrepresenta-
lions. In the next administration, Mr..
Rhea would prove himself a tower Of
strength to the state in the conduct
of its revenues and fiscal affairs.
AS a Democrat and party worker,
there Is not a blot upon his record.
Four years ago, when he was on the
state ticket as the nominee for Treas
urer. he added great. strength to the
ticket, as was shown by the increased
majority Of $500 given in his judicial
district alone. Last fall, in the Sem
atorial and Congressional races, he
was chosen by the Democratic State
Committee as Campaign Chairman,
and under his intelligent and success
full management and organization, the
Democratic majority In the state was
increased to $4,000.
Tom Rhea has always been true to
the party land its nominees. He has
never bolted nor sufked when things
did not go his way in primaries or con-
ventions. The Democratic party in the
campaign this fall needs him upon the
ticket. No other man can give II
greater strength or do more to insure
its success in the November election.
He is man Of pleasing and attractive
personality, free from malice, kind,
considerate to all. temperate and a
temperance man, never having touched
a drink OF alcoholic liquor In all his
life. and. all in all, he is a man worthy
IN the highest degree of the confidence
and support Of all good citizens,
The Democrats Of the state could not
find better man to nominate for any
Office than Tom Rhea, and, II the signs
indicate anything, he will be the nom-
nee for Auditor by a handsome major.

FILTH ALSO CLAIMS SHARE

Frankfort, KY, July 31.-Profli-
gacy, worse than race suicide in the
waste of human life and money,
that costs one infant in every twelve
born in Kentucky each year. and
takes toll of one out of every
seven before they reach school age,
is the charge against the Common
wealth summed up in the report of
the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the
State Board of Health for 1914, now
in the hands of the State printers.
This is not all; this infant NOR
tally is due-S0 per cent, of it, the
reports says-to lack of care and
attention to the kind of food and
water given them. Diarrhoea car
ried off in 1914 1912 children un-
der years old out of total of 81
304, while diphtheria and Group ac-
counted for 49S of all ages; scarlet
fever for 55; measles, despised all
ment of childhood. 266; whooping
cough, often treated as a joke. 1862,
and tuberculosis, grip and bronchial
pneumonia claimed their annual
percentage of the population.
Typhoid, filth disease, brought
down $3.50 persons in Kentucky,
of whom 1869 died, as compared to
792 the year before, 99S- in 1912
and 994 in 1911. There were 49,
$50 cases of adult diarrhoea report
ed, with 2,454 deaths resulting.
Aside from the sorrow and misery
occasioned, the financial sacrifice to
sloth is estimated in the report at
100000 for the year. chargeable
for the most part to lack of sewage
disposal facilities on the farm and
in town.
tuberculosis of the lungs, in
trenched in ignorance, holds its own
against the effort of community or
ganization and has to its credit for
the year 4,251 deaths, as against
4116 in 1913, 4.259 lin 1912 and
1926 in 1911. Other forms of tu-
berculosis practically double the to-
tai number of deaths attributable
to the stealthy progress of this
germ.
Comparative figures make 1t
worse. The death rate from tuber-
culosis in Kentucky is 201.S in ev-
cry 100000 of population. In the
whole United States the death rate
is 1885. So Kentucky loses from
tuberculosis annually seventy-three
more to the 100000 of population
than the country from all causes.
In every 100 deaths in the State
in 1914 preventable diseases caused
forty-two, and half the sickness re-
ported. 1t cost the people of Ken
lucky in round numbers in 1914
just $2S,OO0,0O0 for their SNUG
contentment under these conditions,
and the report suggests that if the
tax rate had to be doubled and re-
doubled to revolstionize conditions
of living, money would be saved.

TO TAXPAYERS OF KENTUCKY
Played Important Part In Forcing Large Corpor-
atoms to Pay Their Just Proportion Of Taxes
and is Best Qualified In Every Way for
Authorship

II 10 natural and proper that the
Democrats Of Kentucky should take a
deep interest in the selection OF their
candidate for Governor on August a,
but they should not allow that race
to overshadow all others and cause
them to neglect or overlook other i'm
portant races. Especially should they
give their attention to the Auditors
race, for that position ranks In I'M
portance next 10 that Of Governor.
The Auditor is the head of the fiscal
Affairs of the state and the head of
the important Board OF Franchise AS
sessments which fixes the franchise
valuations upon which all corporations
doing business In the state must pay
taxes The work of that board is Of
far-reaching importance to the people,
md. above all others, the Auditor, who
presides as chairman OF the board,
should be man we'll equipped and
trained for fits difficult duties, and one
who is incorruptible and fearless,
ready to compel the corporations to
pay their just part Of the revenues OF
the state, without being unjust to any
corporation or persons.
Such man is Thos. s. Rhea, who Is
asking the nomination from the Demo
cratic party, and there is not man
in Kentucky better qualified for the
position or more deserving Of the sup
port OF the Democrats. As State Treas
urer for nearly four years in the pres
emit administration. he has been mem
Der of that board and leading spirit
in its splendid work. With his intel
ligent and active assistance, the fran
chise assessments upon corporations
have been SO increased that the state
is now receiving several hundred thou
sand dollars more in revenue every
year than ever before The board has
increased the franchise valuation upon
all corporations from $48,000.000 to
$132,000,000. Four of the largest rail.
road companies, whose assessments
we're raised, have carried 1t into the
courts; and, II the courts uphold the
action of the board, the increased rev.
enue, together with the large increase
from other corporations, which have
not contested the raises, will be
great help to the taxpayers, and in a
reasonable time aid materially In pay
ing on the indebtedness of the state.
In the four years of this administra-
ton, the increase of revenues from the
increased assessments Of those corpor-
ations, which have not made contests,
will alone amount to sum to the state
far in excess of ambition dollars; and
the increase Of revenues from the
same sources to the counties, cities,
towns and school districts will amount

BOOKER I WASHINGTON
DIED At TUSKEGEE

All will be panied to learn of
the death of the greatest negro
that has ever lived, Booker T.
Washington. The cause of his
death is attributed to the harden
ing of the arteries following a nerv-
Gus break down.
DR.. Washington was born in
bondage in Virginia, in 1857 and
after the emanc patton of the coll
ored people. from the throes OF
thraldom, he moved with his family
to West Virginia.
At Atlantic, Iowa, few years "a
go he was on the lecture platform
and told his audience. of his determi
nation to get an education. He
walked to Hampton where the
academy was located many miles a.
way and not having money to pay
for his lodgings and his breakfast
he slept under a sidewalk that
night, and after his scanty meal
the next morning he applied with
many other boys for admitteAcs
in the school. He was select
ed from a row of applicants and
put to work cleaning the school,
room. His work was SO highly mp
| preciated by the teacher that he
| was started in the studies.
He graduated in 1875 and became
a teacher i'm the institution and
remained at his post for six years.
He thought of the poor blacks
| down in Alabama and went down
there and helped them build and
! FURNISH a log school house. The
second year, an addition was built,
when his reputation had spread
SO far that still larger building
was required.

established Tuskegee; when he built
