FRIDAY, NOVEMBER ~.
LOSS TO THE PRESS.

For forty long years he had de-
voted his energies, his life's toll, to
the newspaper work. The birth OF
many a babe, the death of many citi-
zens, have been recorded by his pen.
He has endeavored earnestly at all
times TO do his full part in the i'm
provement of his community and its
citizenship through his editorial
columns. Truly, he has succeeded.
There is certain brotherly, per-
sonai feeling among men of the news
paper fraternity, and the passing OF
one of their number is always an oc-
casion for sorrow. More strikingly
Is Il true when the former occupant
OF a chair thus left vacant is a per-
sonal friend. Is it any wonder then
that a gloom has been cast over the
Kentucky press, for Heber Matthews
was known and admired from the
Purchase to the Mountains by men OF
his profession? The Kentucky Press
has lost a faithful member.
Mr.. Matthews last issue has gone
20 press. But we find consolation in
the thought that our memory of him
is printed in ink that will never fade
and boldly stands forth the o. X. OF
the proof.

TIE HUNTER AND THE FARMER,

The open season for shooting quail,
rabbits and other game was inaugur-
ated in Kentucky Wednesday. Ac-
cording to all reports there is more
game in the State this year than for
many seasons past. Consequently
there will be more hunting this year
than in former years. That fact ne
Icessitates great precaution.

THE ELECTION.

One of the greatest political races
ever held in the United States is
now history. The two leading par.
ties have fought to a finish, and
while the Republicans have not Civ
en- up hope entirely it seems that
Woodrow Wilson has been elected tn
succeed himself as president. 1t is
good that the race is over. The
American public had grown tired OF
the campaign harrangue, and no mat
ter who the winner the people want
ed il over.
In many respects the race is the
most remarkable in history. Mr..
Hughes. tho he got slightly small
er vote than his opponent, polled
more than the combined count OF
r..ovelt and Taft in 1912, while
Mr. wilson sbout doubled his vote
Of four years aecc: Another queer
phase is the geographical line up of
the Hughes and Wilson States.
While the Eastern States, Illinois and
Indiana went for the Republican
nominee he has failed of election,
unless, of course, the official count
.is In his favor, This could only have
been brought about by the West go
ing solidly Democratic and with that
fact the only hope. is it any wonder
Democrats gave up Tuesday night?
In spite of his apparent defeat Mr..
Hughes made a grand race. With
conditions normal he would have
been an easy winner. The whisky
interests of Ohio and the Progressives
of California are minor causes of his
apparent defeat, but the major cause
is Woodrow Wilson, aided by the
war cries. Part of the stove cabinet
think someone else might have run
better, but if the Democrats have
won they have beat one of the big
gest and best men we could have
nominated.
The scene now shifts to nearer
home. Kentucky Republicans should
elect a Governor next time. There
is also a county race TO be made next
fall, and If the official count decides
as the losers let us give nine "rahs"
for the victors and begin preparations
for the election OF Ed Morrow.

Experience of E. W. GoIdenstar
The WeIl-KnoWn Civil
Engineer
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From SATURDAYS Datiy.
E. w. Goldenstar, the popular
young civil engineer of the firm of
Al. and e. w. Goldenstar, stated
this morning that most of the joy had
been taken out of motoring for him
for few days at least, and when
he drives his handsome new five
passenger REQ car he keeps a wary
both sides, and is ready to stop his
machine at the slightest signal of
danger.
When a man comes within a hairs
breadth of running over and crush
ing child, and is saved from the
tragedy by almost miracle, the ex-
perience is apt to leave some shaky
sensations behind, according to
Mr.. Goldenstar, who is a careful
driver, and not inclined to the ways
of those who are addicted to auto
intoXication.
1t happened last evening about
five o'clock when he had left his
office in the Odd Fellows block. and
had started up his machine ready to
drive home to supper. The automo-
bile was running quite slowly across
the corner by the post office build
ing, when Mr. Goldenstar saw a
young girl start to run across the
street, with her cap pulled well down
over her eyes, and her face turned
from the falling snow. AS soon as he
noticed that she was coming directly
toward him, and did not appear to
see him, Mr.. Goldenstar stopped his
machine. but not in time to avoid a
collision, rs the girl bumped squareIy
into the front of the automobile,
breaking the glass in one of the
headlights, and falling to the ground.
Had the machine been travelling at
higher rate of speed she would as
suredly have been crushed by the
wheels, but as Mr.. Goldenstar had
just started the machine he had been
able to stop it very suddenly. The
girl had regained her feet, and was
crying by the time he had jumped
from the car to aid her, and he lifted
her to a seat beside him and drove
her to her home. She stated that
her name was Anna Michels, that
she was thirteen years old and that
she and her sister had come to Man
kato from their home near ST. Peter
to attend school here. She was
quite badly bruised from the COLI
sion with the machine, but had no
serious injuries, and at seven o'clock
last evening Mr.. Goldenstar learned
that she had gone to sleep, and
there were apparently no bad results
from the accident.
