The Anita NostrIIs.

In . recent issue of the Journal Of
the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences,
Miss A. M. Fields, author Of several
papers on the life and habits OF ants,
describes her Investigations into the
function Of the antennae. In her ear
Her paper she sought to show that the
function Of the antennae is olfactory.
and she now declares that the vari-
Gus segments perceive particular
odors. The segment at the tip. for ex-
ample. warns an ant that he is APP
preaching a colony other than his own.
Again. the next segment below per
ceives the odor that marks one ant
colony as inimical to others of the
same species. Another segment serves
to guide the ant when homeward
bound by enabling him to pick up the
scent he left on the ground during his
outward journey. Still another seq
ment enables a worker ant to recog-
nize the whereabouts OF the queen and
her undeveloped progeny. But in re-
spect to the travels of the ant, our
readers will remember the paper in
the Companion In which the great
French naturalist, Fabre, describes the
experiments that led him to believe
that the ant guides himself by sight
alone.

The PennyroyaI Fair.

IL is not because we are running a
paid card for the Pennyroyal Fair
because we pledge our word it was
running couple Of days before we
noticed 1t. 1t is because the Penny
royal Fair is being held at Hopkins
vile and that Hopkinsville has all
the elements that go in to make up
a mighty fine town that we are CIV
ing up this editorial space to it.
There is one thing about Hopkins
vile. 1t is not the prettiest town
on the map, and there are many
towns, notably Bowling Green, that
have a very much more attractive
surrounding. But Hopkinsville has
this one feature that overtops them
all. Hopkinsvile hasn't any divis
ions or schisms. When Hopkinsville
wants to do anything. she goes ahead
and does it. There is no question of
red" and blue" or wet" and
dry" about the matter. They don't
even question the mode of baptism,
or whether you believe in the final
perseverance of the saints. The
leading citizens get together, and
they resolve that this thing or that
must be done and it is done even as
the doctor ordered. That's the rea-
son why Hopkinsville can have the
Pennyroyal Fair and Bowling Green
cannot. That's the reason why Hop
kinsville has not an empty store, and
is growing in population and bust
ness strength, while Bowling Green
is barely holding its own.
OF course, it is kinder lugubrious
to suggest funerals. But wouldn't
we all be better off if we could all
pull together like the people of Hop.

trieste Treats Animals HarshIy.


One good thing done in the British
consulate at Trieste-possibly, one
may hope, a lasting one was done
not by a consul but consul's wife.
This was the establishment by Lady
Burton of society for the protection
of animals, not before 1t was needed.
1t might be supposed that the Teuton-
ic nations were inclined to kindness
to those poor subject races; but, on
the contrary, the indignant English
man, and the still more indignant Eng
lishwoman, can see nowhere so many
skeleton horses as In Rhenish Prus-
STA. excepting only Tuscany. Well, at
Trieste the Teuton and the Latin
meet, and neglect and active cruelty
meet also, and the mule is sworn at

IS KENTUCKY DOUBTFUL?

Is Kentucky Democratic state, OIL
doubtful state? Is it one Of. those
states which can be always relied
upon to cast its vote for Democratic
principles of independence and for
the people or is it. as some Of the
\ National Republican leaders like to
claim, one of the doubtful states.
which may now and then be garner
ed by the agents Of the big interests
and swung by them into the money
column?
Now is the time for all Kentucky
Democrats to settle that question in
manner that will leave no room for
doubt. On November 2nd. the vot-
ers Of Kentucky will choose a gov
ernor and a complete set Of state Of
ficers to guide the destinies of the
state for the ensuing four years. Let
there be no hair-line decisions at the
polls. The vote in the Democratic
primary showed how many Demo-
Gratis there are in Kentucky. II
showed conclusiveiy that Kentucky
is a Democratic state. that 1t is. in
fact overwhelmingly Democratic.
1t is now the duty of every Demo-
crat In the state to cast his vote for
the entire ticket on November End.
Let US take nothing for granted.
The eyes of the whole nation are on
Kentucky. Three years ago the ma
tion, disguised at Republican mis-
rule, arose and turned over the stew
ardship to the Democratic party.
Today the Republicans are hoping
against hope for ray of light. They
want to shove the thick edge of the
wedge in somewhere. Let the DEM
ocrats Of this state prevent its being
slipped between their own ribs.
If there is small majority for
Stanley and the rest of the Demo-
cratic ticket in this election. the Re-
publican leaders will claim that the
country is returning to the Republi-
can fold. They will be buoyed up 10
redouble their efforts to regain con-
troll Of the nation in 1916.
But. a good. old-fashioned. smash
ing Democratic majority in this
years state election will break their
hearts. 1t will have powerful moral
effect on politics from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf Of Mexico. from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The Democrats of Kentucky must
stand shoulder to shoulder again at
the common enemy. They should
forget the disappointments that came
70 some of them in the primary.
