Up SALT RIVER.
Some Stories of How The Famous Po-
IitiCaI Phrase Originated.

The origin of the term. Going Up
Salt River" applied to defeated can
didates for political office. not only in
Kentucky, but throughout the ma
ton as well, appears to be shrouded
in some obscurity, although it is
known that it was first employed in
that meaning in the section travers-
ed by that classic stream sixty or
seventy years ago.
There are varying accounts of how
the term became to be used in the
derision of aspirants to Office who
were beaten at the polls. A popular
legend has it that many years ago a
candidate for an office in Hardin
county in the midst of his campaign
informed his friends that he intend
ed to go up Salt river and election
eer for votes, assuring them that he
had great strength with the voters
, in that section. ,--.slsseI@z,- s;ss'' fTSII@
Suiting action to words. the can
didate, so the story goes, embarked
in a canoe and started up the stream
in search of the votes that would
land him into the Office and fill his
cup of ambition to the brim. When
the election was held, it is related
that the candidate who sought and
who was so certain of support up
Salt River, suffered inglorious defeat,
and that this gave rise to the widely
used term to convey the meaning that
unsuccessful candidates needed more
votes and might emulate the example
"by going up Salt river" in search of
them.
Another version of the origin of
the famous political phrase, is that
after a heated campaign in one of
the counties that border the stream,
the defeated candidates formed par
ty that went up Salt river ostensibly
on a fishing frolic. but in reality to
console each other and to escape the
jibes and taunts of those who had
won the Offices and their friends.
Still another story has it that was
bac kin the FOrties, during a cam
paign for the local Offices in Bullitt
county the candidates agreed that in
the event they were defeated at the .
election that each would paddle a ca
noe up Salt river and return, which .
they did to the great delight of the .
large crowd that lined the banks to |
witness the sight. 1t is further re-
lated that some of the unsuccessful
who made the canoe trip
experienced a change of luck and at
the next election were victorious and
after that il became fixed custom
for those who got left at the polls
20 make a canoe trip cup Salt river"
Going up Salt river" it is said
became in. reality an excursion for
defeated candidates for many years

ILLEGITIMACY IS
PROBLEM FOR U. S.
CARE or NATURAL CHILDREN
OF SOLDIERS CAUSES CON-
Germ OF WELFARE BODY.

Washington. Sept 9.-IThe care
of illegitimate children is looming up
as one of the war problems that are
receiving consideration by the gov
ernmental authorities.
The extent to which 1t is giving
concern is indicated by a report Of
the Federal Childrens Bureau of the
Department Of Labor, which says in
part:
'To smaller extent the problems
that confront European countries
will exist here in connection with
providing relief for illegitimate chill
dren who have been receiving sup
port from men who go into the ranks.
The question OF continuing the sup
port OF these children is one that
must be considered in making plans
for Government or other allowances
for soldiers dependents.

Besides the interesting lake histo-

the glacial period ana of earlier
geologic ages. There are many
rock formations deeply buried be-

the records of deep borings, one of
which is more than 1000 feet in

The waters of the lake, first known
as Lake Maumee. covered the whole

and the river are no less than 2 dis

first past Fort Wayne to Wabash

the great ice lobes and in the ele-
vstion OF the land later shifted the
locations of the outlets northward
and westward across Michigan
through the Mohawk valley to the
Hudson, and finally over the blum
at QueenstOn, Ont, where Niagara
Falls was born. Names have been
given by biologists to the successive
lakes that submerged this area, and
an interesting and complicated his
tory has been deciphered. The I'M
raveling of the history of these sew
eral lakes and of their relations to
the positions OF the ice fronts and
the elevations of the land is work
OF deductive reasoning which has
occupied the minds of biologists for
many years and compared with which
the exploits OF the renowned Sher-
lock Holmes are those of an imma-
