Hon. Ben johnson With Us,

Hon. Ben johnson, our Congress
man, spent day or two in Hartford
and Beaver Dam last week, shaking
hands with his many friends. He

ascertain the wishes of the patrons
in the selection of successors to Mr..
r. B. Martin, postmaster, Hartford,
and Mr.. f. P. Taylor, postmaster,
Beaver Dam, whose terms expire

Mr.. Johnson has made such an eff
ficient and faithful official in look
ing after the interests of the people
in the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict, and the whole country as for
that, it is as it should be, he
will have no opposition for the nom
nation. In fact the millions and
millions of dollars he has saved the
Government as Chairman of the Dis
trict of Columbia Committee.
through his untiring efforts, some
times at the peril of his own life,
should and does commend him to
the whole people of this Congress
sional district, regardless of party
affiliations.

denounced and his policy ridieuled
and condemned. In European eyes
this looks very much like We have a
President in whom only about half
the people have any confidence. 1t

At the hour of going to press yes
terday Teddy Roosevelt had not vol
unteered to lead a company of SOL
diers into Mexico. True, the great
hero of San Juan hill says he is 'out
of politics." but the political game
really has nothing to do with nation
al affairs and protecting the honor
of our country. The Colonel hasn't
been feeling very well since the Ele-
plant stepped upon him with all
four feet, but this is really his
chance to demonstrate his belliger-
ent theories.

The Moose No More.

BY a vote of 32 to 6, with nine
members declining to vote. the Ma
tional Committee of the Progressive
party Endorsed Charles e. Hughes
for President at a meeting in Chica-
go and the Bull Moose" party
practically went out of existence as
a political organization. The decis-
ion to indorse the Republican nom

The Democrats OF Kentucky-and
also of the Union-should not get il
into their heads that because the
Republicans and Bull Moose are
again at outs with each other, as
they were four years ago. and that
we have a true and tried candidate
for President, that the election will
be a walkover for the party in pow
er. On the other hand. it will be a
hard fought battle. and in order to
win, the Democrats must exercise
their full strength. Anyhow there
will be no third party. The chances
are that the Progressives will swal-
low their dose and line up with the
Republicans. When voting all to-
ge'bei. the Republicans are a hard
part. 10 beat.

Just a scent, a faint fiutter of
what war with Mexico would really
mean, has been demonstrated the
past week and people were brought
to a slight realization of the serious
ness of it. For months past the jim
go press and those who love to talk
and shout war from the quiet pro-
lection of home surroundings, have
been abusing President Wilson for
his hardness in this matter. When
the militia was called out and there
was a call for recruits these war
shouters grew perceptibly quiet.
Mere talk has given way to grave
thought. Those who shouted loud
est for war will probably be the last
TO enlist or allow their relatives to
do so.

Col. VIM. j. Bryan's course at the

and praiseworthy in every respect.
Those of his party colleagues and
critics who prophesied or thought
he would queer" the proceedings
were badly disappointed. He not
only endorsed the party platform in
a wholesouled and hearty way, but
spoke in behalf of it and the ticket
and did all in his power to promote
harmony and advance the cause of
Democracy. He will continue to do
this until the votes are counted in

1t cannot be denied that Roose-
velt was the favorite OF the Repub-
lican voters up until the meeting of
the Chicago conventions. Teddy's
virtues and political strength had
been eXtolled to the limit and va
rious Republican organizations, got
ten together for this especial pur-
pose, had endorsed his candidacy.
Then the bosses got busy and what
happened is now history. They
would have none of Roosevelt, re-
gardless of what the voters wanted.
Overtures were unheeded except
with the icy nit. The bosses were
in the saddle and their choice is now
the nominee of the Republican party.

would have joined in from the start
and even to the present-with our
soldiers in suppressing the bands of
murderous Mexican bandits who
have committed numerous and
frightful outrages against Our peo-
pie and fed to his protecting do

Bison's Revenge.

An old Indian named Neyharper, who lived in that part of Oklahoma that used to be called the Indian Ter ritory, used to tell his white friends this story of the strange but terrible revenge that a bison once took on the hunter who had wounded it in the chase:
 "When was boy most of our food was brought in by the buffalo hunters. Killing these large beasts was hard and dangerous work, but it was very exciting. Once the hunters went out after a herd, each riding his best pony. One, who had attacked a large bull, failed to strike vital part with his arrows, and pursued the beast across the prairie.
 Suddenly in the mad race hunter and prey came to buffalo path that had been washed down by the heavy rains till it was two or three feet deep. The horse stumbled, threw the man into the ditch, and then dashed off, leaving him helpless. The buffalo saw the accident, turned, and tried desperately to gore the hunter. But the ditch was too narrow, and so the buffalo reached down and with its long tongue began to lick the mans bare back. Every stroke of that rough tonXue tore the skin and flesh pain fully. The Indian could only bear it, for if he tried to escape he would meet death at the horns of the en- ragged beast. Before his companions found him and killed the buffalo, it had licked the flesh from his back down to the bone, and the poor man bore the scars of that terrible revenge to his grave.-Youth's Companion.

The system of road building made possible by the adoption oi Constitutional Amendment No. IA is so simple it is mystery to me that no one ever thought of it be- fore," states Judge J. s. Arber- cfombie of Saline county, president of the Arkansas Good Roads asso- ciation. T served several terms ia the legislature. and worked hard on good road measures, but noth- ing so complete or simple as this ever occurred to me. It is the first real relief l have ever seen of fered.
 Give the counties the right to issue bonds for thirty years, or to operate under the present system. and they will build some roads. The beautiful thing about this amendment is that it does not sad de 1t on any county unless the people of that county deem it wise and majority of the electors vote for it. believe it will be possible for every county in the state to build permanent roads right now under this amendment, which should make it appeal directly to the country people"

A NEW YORK IDEA.

Says The New York Times, whose editor is one of the most astute men in America. on the sub ject of prohibition:
 The plea that prohibition fails to prohibit would be quite valid if it could be shown that any license system succeeds better in regu- lating the liquor traffic. Police administrations fall down in the a tempt to restrict illicit selling of q lors in any community where the traffic is licensed. Prohibition does throw the business into dis respute. It clears the main thor eughfares of the saloons and re- moves them from the sight of the young, who are taught that the business is outlawed and disre- putable. The drunkards for which 1t is incidentally responsible, die off rapidly, for they are tempted to drink the worst and most powerful ,ncoctions. Prohibition may kill the poor miserable tipplers,. but it tends to preserve the middle classes" X 7, .,.. :.

MADE MOCKERY OF MONARCH
In the Reign of George III English Caricaturists Proved the Power
 of the Pencil.

Nearly every great diamond has q history. These histories are always TO- mantle, embodying numerous adven- lures, some of which are tragic. In the history of the Hastings tragedy of Eng land is a charge of bribery against a king, George III, which gave the gentle art of caricature an opportunity such as had never come to it before and showed the power that carieature could wield upon q people. At levee of the king held on June 14, 17S6 a very valuable diamond of unusual size George III, ostensibly as a gift from the niZam, or native ruler of the Dec can, India. At the period when this magnificent peace offering was given to the king the impeachment of War ren Hastings was advancing in parlia- ment and it was current rumor that this and several lesser diamonds were the purchase price of Hastings acquit- tai. Caricatures appeared in the win dows of the printshops. One repre- scented Hastings wheeling the king to market in barrow and saying: "What a man buys he may sell again." In an other, the king was exhibited kneeling. with his mouth open and Hastings throwing diamonds into it. An Italian juggler then in London pretending to eat paving stones placarded the walls with bills describing himself as "The Greatest Stone Eater" Improving up- on this the caricaturists represented the king in the character of the Great est Stone Eater.
