HELM ANNOUNCES FOR RE-
ELECTION TO CONGRESS.

To the Democrats Of the Eighth Con-
gressienal District OF Kentucky
The long, continued control Of the
Federal Government by the Republican
party resulted in the wanton and I'M
bridled license Of the Interests, accen-
tuated by Cannonism. and finally cul-
minated in the revolt of the Progressive
element of that party.
The entry of the democratic party in
to power has been marked by effective
and aggressive reforms achievements
in remedial legislation that are soon to
be judged by the American people.
Among the measures that have been
enacted by the Democratic Congress
during the Wilson Administration and
that have rendered it the best asset of
the democratic party in our state and
nation, are;
The constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the popular election of the
United States Senate. whereby the
people are given control of that body
instead of the trusts and monopolies;
The Federal Reserve Banking Act.

Wall Street, and lodged il in the hands

A proposed two hundred thousand
dollar bond issue for rebuilding and re-
pairing the roads in Lincoln County was
defeated last Saturday by q very large
and decided majority. We consider
this as an evidence of wisdom. The
vote in favor of the bonds was an evil
dence Of the growing sentiment for
better roads and we have no doubt that
this sentiment has grown faster than
people have learned the art to build
roads to meet modern conditions and
perhaps faster than their ability to pay
for the roads wanted. 49,
To those who are studying the road
question IT is plain that the soft maca-
dam road which met conditions in the
past are thoroughly inadequate to the
present methods of use. At least, it is
a waste of money to build poorly con-
structed roads. The general use Of
automobiles and heavyweight carrying
motor-trucks will soon destroy the best
macadam road that can be built under
the modern art Only brick. cement,
or asphalt roads will stand this modern
use and it is our opinion that the blue
grass counties of Kentucky, which have
for years been use to reasonably good
roads for the use required, should be-
gin to consider such experimental road
building as will guarantee permanency.
Again, the people however SO DESTROYS
they may be for better roads. will never
be willing to place for expenditure, so
large sum as that asked for in Lincoln
County until there is confidence in the
ability in those intrusted with the road
building.
We have had no system in this State
heretofore for road work which guar
antees that the public will get the bene-
fit of the money appropriated. 1t is
reported that some counties which have
recently voted large sums for road pur-
poses have only few miles of macadam
road in return.
Some of the space Of the newspapers
which are SO deeply in earnest for bet
ter roads could be beneficially used for
promoting a system for handling the
money that is appropriated for road
purposes and for the education of the
public in the methods of building such
roads as would be permanent. When
these two requirements are met the
people will be ready to provide the
funds TO build the roads.

all that love and tender care. medical

this her life slowly ebbed away, and
just before the beautiful spring morn

rising sun, the sufferers spirit took its
fight, the silver cord had been loosed,
the golden bowl broken. the spirit had
gone to its eternal home. and today the
eternal spring time with everlasting
glories belong to her, for her life was
a rare jewel, her spirit as gold refined
in the fire ready for heaven. She ran
the journey of her life in forty-one
years. IL was life filed with deeds
of love. and kindness and cheer, flow
ers. not thorns, sunshine. not shadows
did she scatter everywhere. Her life
was full of God-likeness. and there was
a reason for this. At 10 years of age
she sought the pearl of great price and
made it chief among the jewels of her
youthful hopes. Her life was as gentle

aware that her life was near its close,
she manifested no dread but bravely
awaited the termination of the struggle.
Her death was a triumphant one, and
the porting with the members of her
family was touching and beautiful. The
