THE OLD GUARD STILL
COMMANDS SITUATION

That the Republican party is a
party of inaction as well as reac-
ton is shown by the vote in the
Senate on the Emergency Revenue
measure. Every Republican Sena-
tor, save five, when voting on that
bill, voted against:
/. A non-partisan tariff commits
sion.
2. Readjustment of tariff on dye
stuffs.
3. Protection against post-bellum
dumping.
4. Tax on excessive profits on war
munitions.
). Inheritance tax on swollen for
tunes-the most equitable of all
taxes.
6. Increase in income surtaXes-a
small increase in the taxes of the
very rich.
OF such are the leaders of the
forces that nominated Hughes, and
who will be in power in the event of
Republican success.

occasion was celebrated by various
speakers, including Mayor Thomp-

Agnew on his long service, his eyes
filled with tears.

told his son later. I'm afraid I'll

NO LAUNDERING NOW
NEEDED IN KENTUCKY

1t is well enough for the Democ-
racy in Kentucky to understand
that to win the electoral vote in No
vember il must fight and fight hard,
contesting every inch of the ground
and bringing out every Democratic
vote. If 10000 Democrats in the
State should stay away from the
polls, an average of five TO the pre-
cinct, the Republicans will carry
kentucky. There must be no blum
dering or mismanagement, but wise
leadership, close organization and
every voter gotten to the polls.
Kentucky, for a number of Presi-
Dental elections. has been close
State. In 1896 the Republicans elect
ed ten electors and the Democrats
one. In 1900 Bryan carried the
State by only 5000. Parker carried
it by less than 10000. In 1908
Bryan only had a majority of II, :
600 and in 1912 Wilson had only a
majority of 1000 over the Taft and
Roosevelt vote.
These figures in the last five Pres
idential elections show how close
Kentucky is. They give hope and
encoura cement to the Republicans.
In addition to this, Mr.. HeEt, the
National Republican Committeeman
for Kentucky, has charge of the
purse-strings in the Chicago head
quarters and if coin can carry the
State, Herd will see that it is sup
piled.
1t is not a year for confidence
upon the part of Democrats, but for
work. Not a year for claims of a
big majority, but a year to work to
secure substantial one. We have
the votes to make victory certain
but to he absolutely sure of winning
we must see that every Democrat
casts his ballot ElizabethtOwn

THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT
THE RUINED RAILROADS
The Present Prosperity Seems
TO Be Just Playing Smash
With Them.

The full ruin wrought among our
railroads by temporary prosperity,
so deprecated by Mr.. Hughes, can be
understood by an analysis of the
latest of earnings for July and then
for the past six months. For the
month of July the story is told in
this dispatch from Washington:
Washington. Sept. 12.-Net rev.
enues from railway operations of
S93.415,264 for July, as against
$75.525.939 for July. 1915, for l50
railroads were announced to-day by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
The gross revenue for the roads
reporting was $265,j 1924. or more
than $4O,OOO,OO0 over a year ago.
The gross expenses were SIP, o.
$50. or about $21 100000 more than
a year ago
The peculiar value in these figures
relates to the decreased operating
expenses, compared to the gross
earnings. illustrating the ignored
truth that the great profit for the
railroads lies in the increased bust
ness: the new business; the traffic
secured by the growth of the coun-

This comparison is equally signii-
icant if We take the complete re-
turns for the first six months of
1915. and covering nearly the whole

Valuable Health Hints
For Our Readers
t,ATARRH

C'ATARRH
Just because you hawk and spit and
your nose is wet, cold, red, sore and
a nuisance, don't merely plug 1t up.
You can't cure oatarrh by greasing
your nose. Take $. S. S. regularly
and you will drive catarrhal poisons
out of your blood. The membranes
will soon recover and no longer con
tinue to accumulate the mucous that
gathers and thickens into catarrh.
S. S. S. stimulates the cells of the It's
sues to select from the blood their own
essential nutriment. Rapid recovery
from catarrhal inflammation in the stom-
ach, kidney, bladder and all MEM
branes is the result.
MALARIA.
Throughout the country, wherever
malaria abounds, are happy, joyful
people to whom S. S. S. has given won
derful help in the treatment of mala-
ria after the most sickening torture
imaginable.
The gaunt complexion of malaria's
victims, the chills and fever, the ma
larial dysentery that seems to defy all
other treatment, the malarial leg, the
enlarged liver, the persistent anemia
where the blood turns to water and
the system wastes away. These are
the conditions that S. S. S. so effectu-
ally ASSISTS in overcoming, by helping
to restore the blood to its natural yigor
STUBBORN SORES
Sometimes sore spot becomes indo-
lent The tissues surrounding it lose
tone and are unable to provide suffi-
cient nutriment to stop the drain. It
is then chronic. Just saturate your
blood with S. S. s. This is quickly
accomplished, as S. S. S. is naturally
assimilated the same as milk or any
other healthful liquid
Nature acts with marvellous rapidity
when given the proper assistance, and
S. S. S. so stimulates cellular activity
that the parts surrounding an ulcer Sc
lect from the blood the materials that
make new tissue. Thus the sore spot
rapidly heals in natural way.

So many different things contribute
to poison the blood and the effect is
so startling that the sufferer becomes

RHEUMATISM.
In any form of rheumatism give the
blood a good effectual cleansing with
S. s. S.
Use this remedy for three days and
take hot salt water bath to open the
pores. This relieves the lungs and
kidneys and assists S. s. S. to utilize
the skin as the principal avenue OF
elimination.
Avoid salts, calomel and other dras-
tic purgatives, as they absorb the mois.

and thus stagnate the system with
