Suppose the County Clerk of Ohio
County had selected three of the
largest Democratic precincts and
sent out only half enough ballots to
accommodate the vote. Then suppose
that when the election officers started
the vote 1T had transpired that all
the others. except four or five in the
front part of the book, had already
been spoiled with a stencil. What
would the Democrats of Ohio county
have said? They would have had
right to both say and do things.
On Saturday night before the cleo
ton the ballot box and ballots for
Render were burned in the fire at
McHenry. but another box and ballot
book were on hand Tuesday morn
ing. This happened to be a small
Republican precinct, but every one,
who is acquainted with honest Claude
Blankenship knows that the ballots
would have been there. just the
same, had it been the largest Demo.
cratic precinct in the county. 1t is
not the first time that ballots have
been "monkeyed' with in Brecken-
ridge county. A few years ago
when the defeated Democratic cam
didates for county Offices instituted
contests the ballot boxes were broken
open and ballots changed in a clumsy
manner. Evidence was secured
against certain men which resulted
in the contests all being dropped. 1t
is perfectly evident that somebody
around Hardinsburg should be doing
time in the penitentiary.

4 TAINTED TITLE.

The race for governor in Kentucky
is so close that the Stanley forces
are only claiming it by about 200
votes. The Republicans have had to
fight through the courts to obtain a
count of votes held up by counties,
having a majority of the election
machinery, on the most flimsey pre-
texts. II is known and not denied
that in several counties the Republi-
can vote suffered through the most
horrible crimes against the ballot
enough votes to more than offset the
meagre majority claimed for Stanley.
In one neighboring county, Brecken-
ridge by a most fragrant crime COM
mitted by some one. three large Re-
publican precincts which would have
returned 500 majority were practi-
cally shut out by a mutilation of
ballots before they were delivered to
the election officers. In another
county two precincts, which usually
give 400 majority, were deprived of
a vote because the ballot books were
stolen and burned the night before
the election. In the county of Fay
cite, Circuit Judge Keer told the
grand jury that more than 500 citi-
zens were prevented from voting by
delay tactics resorted to by Demo-
cratic election officers in large Re-
publican precincts. Not more than
half dozen votes being polled in an
hour. Pictures were made at the
precincts showing long lines of men
standing in line at four O'Clock when
the polls closed. At least four fifths
of these voters were Republicans.
If Mr.. Stanley is given the certifi-
cate under these circumstances, he
will hold the Office of Governor, when
ne was not the choice of the people.
His title in the eyes of all honest
will be a tainted one.

+. NJ. Cockrell, Jr., son of F. NJ. Cock
rell Sr., former United States Sena-
tor from Missouri. was, by consent
of the commonwealth Attorney for
Louisville. fined s100, expressed re
grets and "apologized" for shooting
William Il. Brohm, a few weeks ago.
Brohm was shot in an alteration at a
meeting of a Board of Directors, of
which both men were members. He
was shot through the body and es-
capped death by a miracle. Cockrell
was not even asked to apologize for
carrying pistol concealed.
Suppose this travesty on justice
had happened in Ohio county, and
the offender had been Some poor ig-
norant man. without influence or
high family connection, but with a
housefull of helpless children. What
would the machine newspapers of
Louisville have said? They with one
accord would have denounced our
court, and community for failing to
add one more convict to the peniten-
tiary. 1t is just such cases as that
of Cockrell, son of former United
States Senator from Missouri, "Sah,"
that bring the law into contempt
among the common people. 1t is
felt that the rich and men of influence
go unpublished when they commit
crime, while the poor. and those of
low degree, receive the full penalty
of the law.
The rural communities, especially
the night rider and possum hunter
localities have had columns of free
advertising and advice from the city
press. but as a matter Of fact Louis
willie is in no position to offer criti-
cism to any part of the State on the
subject OF crime and its punishment.

High Praise for Judge Slack.

If we must have a Republican cir
cult Judge in the Greensboro district,
how fortunate are we that it is to
be Robert w. Slack
Search the district over and
where could be found a member of
the bar who would be more accept
able and more trustworthy in the
estimation of the whole people?
We have known Bob Slack pretty
tolerably we'll for thirty-four years
more than a third of a century.
We have known him intimately. We
have known him as a Democrat and
as a Republican. We have known
him, more than this. as a law
yer and man. And in all
these years We have never
known one thing of Bob Slack
to his discredit. We have never
known him to do a dishonorable
thing. We have never felt that he
was capable of doing a dishonorable
thing, There has never been a time
when we would not have trusted our
all With Bob Slack. There was never
asman of greater loyalty to his
friends than Bob Slack. There was
never a truer friend. There was
never, in our observation. a man of
a higher sense of honor than Bob
Slack.
He has lived In greensboro nearly
forty years. He has gone through
many personal trials. He has reared
a large and most interesting family.
He has suffered adversely, but strug-
gled on. manfully. never relaxing

RILEY WILL CONTEST

II is understood that Mr.. Wallace
Riley, who was defeated on the face
OF the returns for Circuit Court
Clerk by 22 votes has, or will, insti-
tute contest against Porter. II is
confidently believed by Mr.. Riley
and his friends that a recount of the
ballots will give him more than
enough votes to overcome the appar-
snt lead and place him well ahead.
For the past twenty years the
Democrats have contested almost ev-
cry election, in Ohio county where
the result has been close. In every
instance when the ballots were COUNT
ed they have shown a Republican
gain over the result shown by the
election officers returns. The re-
turns from several precincts at the
late election look as though. some
mistake may have been made by the
Officers In theJRiley-Porter vote, and
that these errors may wipe out the
returned msjoTity and give Riley the
position, ION general principles We
are opposed to contrasting elections.

do Your Hard Work Early.

Edison has an excellent maxim
for daily work: DO the hardest thing
first True, 1t is more difficult to
jerk ones, self up to top effort the
first thing in the morning. but it's
tremendously worth while. That is
when the energy is freshest; when
the mind is alert and the viewpoint
likely to be more optimistic. because
II is as yet uncolored by the petty
annoyances OF the day. AS a rule.
II takes half the time to do a task
then than later, when the energies
are at a low ebb. But clearing the
deck early in the day leaves the 9TH
er hours for the less arduous tasks
which do not require the very maxi
mum of energy and ability.

Mr.. BALLARD ON
CAUSES OF UNREST
immigration Concentration In
Cities and Watered Stock are
Evils Mentioned.

Mr.. S. Thurston Ballard, the Louis
vile member of the United States
. Commission of Industrial Relations
which concluded its labors last Au.
gust delivered an interesting adj
dress upon the work OF the commits.
sion Monday evening before the
Louisville Transporting Club at the
Scelbach Hotel.
When the commission finally re-
| ported there were majority and
! minority reports, Mr.. Ballard siding
with the more conservative wing and
/ repudiating the radical recommends
[ lions of Frank p. Wash, the chair
man of the commission. Mr.. Ballard
stated in his address that Mr.. Walsh
is man of considerable force, and
that he APPARENTLY starts out trying
to be fair, but became more biased
as the investigation went along. un-
til he could see nothing but the labor
side.
Mr.. Ballard then proceeded to state
the facts developed by the commits
sion which seemed to contribute to
industrial unrest in this country. In
many localities the commission
found wages too low, and he argued
that wherever wages are too low to
afford decent standard of living.
trouble inevitably followed. He be-
lieved that a more careful investiga-
ton by employers in certain places
OF the wages paid would result in a
readjustment of wages, which would,
in the end not only tend to eliminate
industrial unrest, but would add to
the efficiency of labor.
Mr.. Ballard pointed out in detail
the evils as he saw them of unre-
stricted immigration. He said that
many men, brought here before the
European war to work in factories,
were neither efficient nor adapted nor
adaptable to American conditions.
Another cause of industrial unrest,
the speaker said, was the tendency to
concentrate population in the cities.
This could be obviated he thought, by
better schools in the country and by
increased attention to the problem
of making country life more attrac-
tive.
Mr.. Ballard closed with a general
discussion of the things needed to
control corporations. He said that
in many places trouble is constantly
caused by water in the stock of cor
poratiOns and the attempts to force
upon property that does not
really exist. Much of this water in
the stock of American corporations
must be forced out. Some already has
been forced out.
Corporation directors should be
held to stricter accountability for
what they do and, notably, corpora
lion directors should be required to

Protected by Canada.

In Canada they are complaining
because the government imposes tax
es, Tariff on wheat from the United
States, and as long as Canada has
such a Tariff Canada cannot ship in
to the United States duty free as
provided in the Underwood bill. The
repTisal clause blocks the access to
our markets. On the whole, il is
Canada, therefore, that is Protect

Ambergris Treasure Trove of the
Ocean.


OF all the chance prizes which the
sea gives up, perhaps the most vaiu-
able is ambergris. Cruising the seas
in search of ambergris holds out
more hope of profits than the Quix-
otto, but popular ventures for the
tabled dOubloons and mOidOres of
Kidd. Morgan or Jean Lafitte.
on the coast of Africa a sperm
whale yielded ambergris of the high
est quality. valued at nearly $780,
600. An unexpected bit of treasure
trove came the way of a Manchester
painter in March, 1910. While on
a fishing trip on the st. Lawrence
river he saw a dark mass in the shall
low water near the shore and fired
two shots at 1t, thinking il was an
animal. Instead he hauled aboard
lump of ambergris worth more
than $4,000.
Herman Melville writes of amber
girls and its uses:
Now this ambergris is very GU
rious substance. and SO important as
an article of commerce, that in 1891
a certain Nantucket-born Capt. Coffin
was examined at the bar Of the Eng
