Republicans return to power? What
would follow? A new tariff would
be enacted. That would take many
months. Then II would require a
year for business to adjust itself TO
that new tariff. Here would be at
least eighteen months of stress, bus
mess depression.
The country might stand that II
II were passing through a Republic
an financial panic and business pros
tration like that of 1907, but It is
now riding on the crest of the most
wave of prosperity any
people under the sun, on either hem
isphere, ever enjoyed.
Are the people fools? We shall see.

To Rid Crib OF Rats.

An effective way to rid corn crib
of rats is to induce black snake to
make his headquarters in the crib.
Once the rats scent the black snake
they quickly yamoose for other
parts. This is no joke or idle sug-
gestion. A trial will find it verit-
able fact. We have never known
corn crib to be infested with rats
or mice where black snake took
up quarters. And the black snake
is harmless. mt. Oliyet Tribune

MINISTER IS RUN DOWN
BY AUT0-..FATAliY HURT
Girl Driver OF Car Was Just
Learning-HystericaI After
the Accident.

Hawesville, KY, May 17.-Rev. j.
i. Fogartie, pastor of the local
Presbyterian church, was run over
here this afternoon at o'clock and
fatally injured, by Miss Gertrude
Stephens, who was learning to drive
an automobile which she had
bought. With her was 7. ID. Hale,
ex-mayor of the city and present
county treasurer, who is also the To-
cal agent here for the car the young
woman was driving. He was train
ing her in the management of the
car.
DR.. Fogartie was crossing the
street when the car darted around
the corner and in the next instant
was upon him. He threw up his
hands for protection or in warning,
but was quickly thrown to the
ground, two wheels passing over his
body, cash being cut in his head
and internally injured. He was car
ried to the home of Misses Kate and
Mamie Jackson, members of his
congregation, where all that was
possible was done for him.
He had been pastor of the Pres
byterian church here for the past
year, coming here from New Or
leans so that he might be near his
son Arthur Fogartie, who is a stu
dent in the Presbyterian seminary at
Louisville. He was widower, with
one son and two 9daughters, both
married, one living at Admission
Ala, and the other in Mississippi.
He was fifty-siX years of age and
very popular as a preacher. His
health has been falling recently
and he resigned his pastorate here
on last Sunday and was preparing
to go away for a course of treat
ment.
The young woman almost went
into Mysteries when she realized the
extent of the mans injuries. The
occurrence is greatly regretted here.
On Sunday night while DR.. Forgartie
was preaching one of his excellent
sermons, he was much annoyed by
the honking of passing automobiles
and referred to it as ID violation of
Gods day of rest and kind of per-
secution and he had made similar
reference to Sunday autoing for
pleasure as a dissertation of the Sab
bath two weeks before in his Sunday
sermon.

better clothed and fed-our cities
cleaner-our schools and churches
better attended and everyone happier

In the old days the temperance lee
turer was judged by the number of
children he could induce to sign the
pledge. Today his appeal is to grown
ups to use their ballot.
But the old time lecturer may be
right for perhaps the men who are
using the ballot today are the children
who signed the pledge in the days of
yore. The old timers were sowing
