NEXT IMPORTANT EVENT
IN KENTUCKY POLITICS
Is That Democratic Platform
Convention, Already Too
Long Delayed.
(By Thomas B. cromwelI.)

Lexington, KY, Aug. THE pri-
mary election over, the next scene in
Kentucky's continuous performance
political show will be State con-
vention for the purpose of premul-
eating a platform to be put under
the Democratic candidates named
to-day TO try conclusions with the
Republican land Bull Moose) nomi-
nees at the regular election on Tues
day, November 2.
The liberal element in the Demo
cratic party wanted a pre-primary
convention. but the Statewide pro-
hibition propaganda was opposed.
their real ground being that the del
gates might re-enact the county unit
plank adopted into the platform of
1911, and thereby put Harry v. Nc
Chesney out of the running, as the
Republican State Convention at Lex
ington, June Is, did DR.. Ben L. Bru-
ner. Judge Ed O'Rear and other dis
tinguished State-widers of the G. o.
p.
After comforting with the mana
gers of the McChesney campaign r..
II. vansant, Chairman Of the DEM
ocratic State Central and Executive
Committees. announced that he
would not call the comittees to meet
for the purpose of considering the
question of a convention until after
the primary election. A strong eff
fort was made by a number of Ken
lucky newspapers and politicians to
disiodge Chairman Vansant from his
position, but he was immovable. and
remained in accord with the Beck
ham organization, and no three
members of the committee, either
State Central or Executive, exercis-
ed their prerogative permitting a
call over the Chairman's head for a
meeting.
AS this is written the results of
the primary have not been announc-
ed and, perforee, no positive state
ment can here be made as to the
probable action of the Forthcoming
convention on the liquor question.
but this much is certain, if former
Congressman A. o. Stanley. of Hender-
son. is nominated for Governor, the
county unit sentiment will pervade
the convention, and the views of
President Woodrow Wilson and Sem
ator Ollie NJ. James, which are in
keeping with the view of the Ken
lucky Democracy as expressed in the
convention of 1911, will be written
into the platform.

morning Austin and his son were
running a corn-sheller. when armed
Mexicans galloped up. taking both
into the brush nearby and killing
them.
Yesterday band OF Nexicans

ton. stealing FIVE horses. two sad
dies. two rifles and a pistol.
State Adj. Gen. Henry Hutchins

confer on measures to repress law

A Sebastian storekeeper, named
Alexander. said that there were
twelve mounted armed men in the
party. All OF them appeared to be
Mexicans of middle age. They rob-
bed his store.

FIND NEW ANTISEPTIC
CLAIMED TO BE IDEAL

Paris, Aug. 7.-Dr. Alexis Carroll,
of the Rockefeller Institute of Medi-
cal Research, and DR.. Henry ID. Ka-
kin, of the Lister Institute. have dis
covered after exhaustive experiment
at the Compiegne Military Hospital
what they claim to be the ideal anti
septic.
The most powerful antiseptic
known to science is hypochlorite of
lime, but its use is injurious to the
tissues, owing to its acidity, and II
does not keep.
Drs. Dakin and Carrel have found
these two defects are remedied, re-
spectively. by the addition of carbon
ate of lime an boric acid.
Wonderful results have been OBJ
tanned with the new antiseptic. and
II applied in time IL is said TO make
infection in wounds henceforth i'm
possible.
Prof. Lanouzey explained the new
antiseptic to the Academy of Science
whose members agreed that the dis
covery will be OF great Importance
in surgery.

GOOD REASONS WHY SOME
BUSINESS MEN SUCCEED

The other day a merchant said he
couldn't afford to advertise in his
home newspaper. II the mans views
were not distorted, he would see
that he couldn't afford not to adj
vertise. Refusing to advertise is his
most expensive extravaganza. That
same merchant will spend hours tell
ing Of the unfair" competition of
the mail-order houses who are his
most aggressive and dangerous COM
petitors, yet the methods employed
by the mail-order houses which sue
coed are the very ones which the
merchant refuses to use. The mall
order house first of all is an ADVER-
TISER. Advertising is the life of
its business.
Every magazine that enters the
small and rural home carries the ad
of the mail-order house. Expensive
catalogs are printed showing the
illustrations of the actual articles.
Instead of doing these things in
asmaller way through the columns
of his local paper, the merchant who
can't afford to advertise sits down
and "cusses" his tough luck and
wonders why he can't get the bust
ness. He never thinks he has bet
ter opportunity to reach the people
in his neighborhood than the mall
order house has. 1t doesn't cost him
as much as it does the outsider; he
can draw the people to his store and
show them the actual articles he is
advertising, and, when they buy,
they can take their purchase home
with them instead of having to wait
for several weeks for it.
Advertising is an investment. 1t
should be charged to your selling
cost. Figure what percentage you
have to pay to advertise, then base
fifty-two weeks cmapaign on this
computation. You cant lose. You
can't afford not to advertise!

LANDLADY WOULD SELL
DEAD BOARDER'S BODY

Philadelphia, Aug. THE coro-
ner of Philadelphia to-day refused
the request of a clearinghouse mis-
tress, that she be given the freak
body of her former boarder so that
she could sell II to the highest bid
der and thus get back money she
had advanced the man.
The body was that of William Gu
tenmiller, who had killed himself.
His heart. was on his right side and
other organs were reversed. Physi-
clans had discovered his strange
physical makeup, and worry over
its peculiar construction, ii is be-
lieved caused him to end his life.
Gutenmiller owed the woman a
board bill and had borrowed small
sums from her from time to time,
telling her that when he died she
could get money for his body from a
medical college.
The coroner told the woman that
Under the law he could not give heT
the body. II is probable that 1t will
be turned over TO the State anatom-
ical board II no one claims ii fol-
proper burial.

During the movement to take the

The occupation of the Office of the

CATHOLICS MISTAKEN
TUMULTY TELLS THEM
Wilson's Secretary Defends
Recognition Of Carranza
and Denies Charges.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The admins
tration's replay to those who criticise
the RECOGNITION of the Carranza gov
eminent in Mexico because of charges
of outgrageS upon priests and nuns of
the Catholic church was made public
here in a letter by Secretary Tumulty
to DR.. James j. Mcclure, of Trenton, N.
j., who recently wrote to the White
House asking for an explanation of
what he characterized as widespread
criticism"
Secretary Tumulty advised DR.. Nc
Guire that the files of the state de-
partrnent failed to disclose any Off
cha record of a single proven case Of
outrage upon nuns. and he included in
his letter a statement by the Catholic
vicar general at Mexico City, which
while disclosing the shooting of priests
and the expulsion and imprisonment Of
others, declared there had been no
violations of nuns In that district.
Secretary Tumuity said in all wars
the horrors OF the conflict have been
kept alive by t2ose on the losing side,
but that it should be the duty of ali
citizens of both the United States and
Mexico to contribute in every n
to the early rehabilitation of the ma
ton so long torn by civil strife and to
avoid keeping open the wounds.
Emphasis was laid on the recognition
of Carranza by the Latin-American
peace conference. All of these Latin
American countries. Mr.. Tumulty
pointed out, We're Catholic nations.
