oUOD Frat DEMONSTRANDUM.

Last week we called the attention
of the Hartford Herald to the fact
the meaning of an article from the
New York World reproduced in that
paper had been misconstrued. In
other words the head said Hughes
was a tool of the bosses, while the
article, other than comparing him to
Mr.. Wilson. spoke very highly of the
former Justice. The Herald in a re
taliatory editorial says ii is up to us
to prove that either the head or the
article is untrue. No one would care
to object seriously to what the
World said, but the head written by
the Herald charging Hughes with
being a tool of the bosses. etc, most
certainly is anything but true.
According to the Herald it remains
for us to prove. therefore, that Mr..
Hughes is not a tool of the bosses.
We ask pardon for the lazy manner
in which we are going about this,
but the weather is warm and the idea
is to save work. We are going to
take this weeks Herald to prove the
point according to its demand.
Given-the greatest present day
political figure and copy Of the
Hartford Herald.
To prove-That Hughes is not
tool of the bosses.
Now, on the 7th page, fourth col
umn of the Herald we read a news
item which tells us that Hughes is
himself the greatest boss that ever
sat in the Executive Chamber of New
York, and gives Thomas Collins Plat
as authority. But Hughes could not
be such a big boss and a tool of the
bosses at the same time, Accepting
the Herald's latest news item we
have Hughes boss, therefore, not
a tool of the bosses. Q. e. ID.
In order to appease those who
do not like bosses we cite them to
the editorial in the Herald Just above
the one in question the first two SEN
fences of which follow: "In the
coming Presidential campaign the
personality of Mr.. Hughes will not
amount to very much, as it is quite
generally known that he is a quiet
easy-going man of fine legal talent
and well stored mind and of clean
political activities. Personally there
can be little or nothing said against
him"
The Herald says we charge incon-
sistency. There is certainly inconsis-
tency in the Herald's attack and
there is Inconsistency in the policy
of the party il worships but we
would not think of charging incon-
sistency in its political affiliation.
10, no! The Herald has both arms
around the Democratic donkey's neck
and its heels socked into its flanks up
TO the instep. When the donkey's
ears wave forward, or backward. the
Herald's jerk in accord, and when a
he-haw resounds the Herald breys
too.
The Herald brings counter charges
to justify itself. We could do like
wise. Remember those, THE bull
rode the elephant" The ele-
plant rode the bull moose. etc?"
1t charges that we were Progressive.
This paper was Progressive and is
yet Progressive, Progressive Repub-
lican. The old cabin sprung a leak,
and we wandered out into the barn
yard where we were kicked so hard
by the Democratic donkey that we
again took refuge in the cabin. Lo.
and behold. we found new roof; a
new floor, platform of good solid
plank. The old building has been

to be protected by Greasers on the
promise Of such a man as Carranza?
We quit when we had Vera Cruz but
that didn't prevent the Columbus
outrage. If we quit now what will
happen next?
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1916-07-07

How can we but sympathize with
the Irish when we went through the
same thing. We can not believe that
the execution of Sir Roger Easement
will ever take place. He probably
deserves punishment but the death
penalty to a man who has been of
such service to his country is an ex-
IRENE measure.

years, 7 months and - days old.
Mrs. Dawdy was one of the
finest colored women we have
ever known. She had a big
heart. Never a mother herself,
yet she raised children who were
worthy. and it was through her
efforts that several young colored
men and women have been given
a good education and started on
the right road. She was a very
charitable woman. and did many
acts worthy of the good Samari-
tan.
Funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon, and the fun.
eral was very largely attended.

Matte Patton Dead.

Miss Matte Patton, who went
to Union Springs, Alabama, last
summer to be with her neice,
Mrs. Hugh C. Moore, for 4 few
months, was stricken with pneu-
monia about two weeks ago,
mention of which was made in
the News last weeks, died at the
home of her neice on Wednesday
evening of last week. Every eff
fort was made to save the life of
this noble woman, but all efforts
were in vain.
Deceased was born in Mclean
county, ILL.,, on August II, 1883,
and came with her parents to
this city in the early seventies.
Her mother died when she was 4
young woman, and she promised
her mother she would raise the
family and look after her father
until he passed on. This prom
ise she religiously kept, refusing
many offers of marriage, for she
had many suitors who realized
her sterling worth.
She kept house for her father,
four brothers and one sister, saw
all but one brother married off.
Her father died a few years ago.
Matte Patton was one of the
finest women it has ever been
our pleasure to meet. She was
an angle of mercy in cases of
sickness or distress, and the
weather was never too bad, or
the night too dark for her to
visit the sick or distressed. She
is as sure to reap the reward
promised to the consistent Chris
tiau as the sun is sure to rise
tomorrow morning.
The remains were brought TO
this city for interment. Funeral
services were held last Sunday
afternoon at the home of B. W.
Patton, conducted by Rev. Hoop
ingarner, and iutermeut was
made in Baxter cemetery. A
very large number of sorrowing
friends attended the last sad rites.
Four brothers and one sister
survive her. They are B. w.
and M. A. Patton of this city;
J. S. Patton of Kansas City; w.
L. Patton of Ration, N. NJ; Mrs.
Anna Goodner of Albuquerque,
N. M.

School Notes

Attendance during the past
week has been nearly perfect in
most of the rooms.
The primary room is over
crowded. 1t will be necessary to
provide more room and another
teacher in the near future. The
intermediate and upper grades,
too, have a full enrolment.
The percentage of attendance
for the fourth month was quite
low, on account of so much sick
ness during the fore part of the
month.
: Tuesday morning Mr.. Edw. G.
Polster visited the different
rooms of the schools. AT the
opening exercises of the high
school he spoke upon the "Ad-
vantages of a University Educa-
ton" He. having been fortu-
nate enough to have obtained a
college education, advised all pu-
pills to take advantage of a col"
lege training. He emphasized
the fact that sixty per cent of
those attending the universities
were boys and girls making their
own way through school. Again
he stated that the highest desire
of a rich man is to give his sons
a complete college education.
Mr.. Rockefeller and his son are
noted examples. The great de-
mand for college men makes
known the fact that a boy or girl
shonld at any cost obtain a coli
'lege education.
