IN KENTUCKY

A STRAW in the political wind
| II is the election of a Republican
candidate to Congress in the
Eighth district of Kentucky this
week over his Democratic opponent
by a majority of 1900.
! The circumstances surrounding
! this special election are interesting
! from whatever angle they may be
! viewed. In the first place the in
cumbent whose death caused the
vacancy was a Democrat and had
been elected and reelected for many
years by majorities that averaged
about 5000 votes, Notwithstanding
vigorous contests against him by
strong Republican candidates. The
district is normally Democratic by
about the same figures.
The campaign just waged, in
which the Republican was elected.
was devoid of personalities. Each
of the nominees agreed to make his
fight on strictly party lines. The
Democrat came out for everything
President Wilson advocates or has
supported, including hearty endorse
ment of the proposed League of
Nations and the peace treaty. The
Republican candidate made no at
tacks on his Democratic opponent
or his policies, but confined his eff
forts to setting himself before the
voters a Of
everything for which the Republican
party stands. 1t was tacitly admit
ted on both sides that this should
be test of strength on National
issues, the Democrat starting away
with handicap of about 5000
votes.
The result sweeping Republican
victory, can be viewed in no other
light than that many Democrats
throughout the country view with
concern and doubt, if not actual dis
approval, the attitude of the Demo-
cratic administration at Washington,
and ii should give President Wilson
pause for thought providing he has
any regard for his partys prospects
at the next National election. The
verdict of the voters in this instance
is strongly in favor of Republican
policies and confirms the belief en-
gendered by last Falls Republican
victories in the Congressional cleo
tions that the country is heartily
tired of Democratic mismanage-
ment and desirous of giving the Re
publicans an opportunity to place
the combination of Socialism and
autocracy at present in control of
the executive branch of the Govern
ment forever on the shelf at Wash
ington. This entails "a responsibility
on the Republican leadership as
weighty as it is gratifying to the
loyal rank and file of the party.
The American people expect great
things of the Republican party. They
must not be disappointed.

A story of how a French officer
fired upon and destroyed his own
home was recently told by an officer
of the Harrisburg Army Recruiting
Station. Just within the Allied lines
there was beautiful little chateau
which the Boches were constantly
using as a reference point when
registering their artillery. The
French decided that it must be de-
stroyed, so the owner of the cha
teau. an artillery captain fighting at
another part of the front, was sent
for. He arrived and took command
of the battery. After a ceremonious
dinner, the officers repaired to their
observation post, the gun crew took
its place, and the captain gave his
orders. Soon his beautiful little
home was crumbling before his
eyes, under the fire of his own guns.
When the destruction was COM
pleted, the captain gravely shook
hands all around saluted, and re-
turned to his battery,

Starviing in the J
Plenty
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One Of tho worst features az acid
stomach is thatyery often ic literally
starves it. victims in the midst Of
plenty. And The strange thing
about it is that the people N'.h acid
s,o-nechs seldom know what their
trouble really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may he, or how mgch they
eat. they do not gain in strength.
ms IS clearly explained by the
tact that an acjd-stomach cannot
properly digest food. Instead OF
healthy, normal digestion. the excess
acid causes the food to sour and fer
ment. Then when this mass Of sour,
iermantcd food, charged with excess
acid. passes into the intcstincs. il be-
comes the breeding place for al kinds
Of germs and toxic pJisons. which in
tarn are absorbed INTO the blood and
IN this way distributed throughout
The entire body. And that is exactly
#hy 1t IS that so many thousands OF
people cat and eatand keep On eating
and yet are literally starving in the
midst OF plenty. Their acid-5tomachs
make it absolutely impossible for
them to get the full measure O. nour-
iahment out of their food. And il
doesn't take long for this poor uour-
ishment to show its i'll effects in .

GOumay say: My stomach doesn't

many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then

acid-stomach is the real cause of the
trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
IS 10 strike right at the very cause of
. this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is a quick.
easy way to do this. A wonderful
new remedy quickly removes the
excess acid without the slightest dis
comfort. 1t is EATONIC. Made in
the form of tablets-they are good
to eat-jpst like bit of candy. They
literally absorb the injurious excess
acid and carry it away through the

ton over lynchings.
While this request was being made.

lowing to Congressman Byrne OF

The reference is to Congressman
Ragsdale who died suddenly recently
in Washington An intimation, at
least, comes from this assertion
which leads to the possibility of the
death being caused by agitators.
The Boston league refers to the
Georgia lynchings at Lincolnton. All
the protests seem to come from peo-
pie who do not know the racial differ
ence between the white man and the
negro.
The southern white man is not
specially concerned about trying to
specialize on negro inferiority or
racial inequality. The southern negro
is not specially concerned about mea-
stirring his racial qualification with
his white benefastor. The law abiding

out5poken against the crime for

wG}abiding white men and law

when such a thing occurs but none of
them are ever able to intervene
when the safety of southern white

course to pursue is to- stop northern

such methods to leave their places.
