Reformation.

A writer in the National NUM-
cipal Review calls attention to the
danger in a multitude of organi-
zations," and gives an astonish-
ing list of leagues, societies, as
sociations, organizations and
federations. This multiplication
of organizations is a direct result
of the initiative and referendum
and other popular government
ideas. We have distrusted the
state and taken things into our
own hands, with the result that
organization in the effort to have
our ideas adopted into laws has
become a baneful influence. The
chief evil Of such organizations,
however, is to be found in the
multiplicity of statutes which ex-
press the zeal of petty groups and
small minoritieS, and not the
considered judgment of the mass
of the community. Such laws
are largely unenforced or unen-
forceable, and they themselves
create an evil far outweighing
the good they were intended to
accomplish, even if that good
were in reality attained. 1t is a
pity that so much civic feeling is
dissipated by its diversion into
so many petty channels. Laws
should express the main stream
Of community thought and feel
ing and no more.

Decided To Keep "Hanner"

The conversation in a club the
other afternoon turned to the un-
sophisticated, when Senator
Claude Kitchin of North Carolina
recalled a happy little incident
about Uncle Josh.
Uncle Josh, who lived far back
in the crimson clover zone, hap
pened into the big city one day
and found himself standing be-
fore a woman's exchange. That
was a new one on Josh, and for
a long while he stood there and
thoughtfully pondered. Finally
he entered the building.
Il s'pose, ma'am," said he,
addressing one of the attendants,
THAT this is the woman's ex-
changer!
"Yes, this is the woman's ex-
change, replied the attendant.
What can we do for you?"
Il s'pose," continued Josh,
glancing alternately at the two
or three women in the office,
THAT you are the only women
folks here?"
There are no others" was the
wondering response of the at
tendant.
"Um," thoughtfully observed
Josh starting toward the door,

The Titanic.

The Titanic was the largest
ship ever built. 1t took its name
from its size, as Titanic means
large.
1t had started to cross the ocean
and the rich would not ride with
the poor, so they put the poor be-
low and started.
They didn't go far until they
ran into an iceberg.
1t was soon noised about that
the Titanic was ia the ice fields
but they didn't pay much at
tention.
This ship had a great number
of aristocrats on board.
This ship is said to have had
great wealth on board. They
wanted to have to say they were
the first to cross in it.
The next news came was that
the ship was sinking, and it took
sixteen hundred to the bottom of
the ocean. Several escaped in
life boats and were saved.
You know it must have been
awful with those people on the
sea. They tell me they were
singing Nearer My God to Thee.
While they were homeward bound
sixteen hundred of them drowned.
1t was sad when that great ship
went down.

Past Elections in Kentucky.

In 1895 Bradley (Republican)

In 1896 Mckinley Republican,
carried the State by 286.
In 1899 Taylor (Republican),
on the face Of the returns, had a
plurality for Governor over Goe-
bel (Democrat) of 1900.
In 1900 Beckham (Democrat)
was again elected Governor over
Belknap Republican, by %, 1000.
In 1904 Parker (Democrat)
carried the State over Roosevelt
(Republican) by 1000.
In 1907 Wilson (Republican)
was elected Governor over Hager
(Democrat) by $4,000
In 1908 Bryan (Democrat) car.
ried the State for President over
Taft (Republican) by $500.
In 1911 McCreary (Democrat)
vas elected Governor over O'Rear
Republican, by 81, 900.
In 1912 Wilson (Democrat) for
President received 219,5S4 votes
and Taft and Roosevelt combined
received 21S,27S votes.
In 1914 Beckham (Democrat)
for United States Senator, was
elected by $1,000 plurality, the
Progressives polling $4,000 votes.
So it will be seen that in the
last twenty years the Democrats
have lost the State several times
and at other times the Democratic
plurality has been quite small. -
