DRAFTING A PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE.

Mr.. Bryan has made it known that
he does not wish to be nominated
as the prohibition party's candidate
for president. Nevertheless. he can
not avoid q candidacy If others insist
in forcing one on him.
Under our state laws a man may
prevent the printing of his name on
an election ballot. He need only
notify the proper authorities thai he
does not wish his name used. and
that settles it. In some cases before
his name can be printed he must file
a personal petition. But a presi-
Dental candidacy at the fall election
is different. The voters do not vote
for a candidate for president. They
vote for certain persons to be presi-
dental electors, and those persons
need not specify for whom they in
tend to vote if they are elected. BY
proper petitions the prohibitionists of
North Dakota may have placed on
the election ballot the names of five
persons who wish to serve as presi-
Dental electors. Those five may in
tend to vote for Mr.. Bryan for pres:
dent. They need not say. They are
candidates in their W right, and If
elected will be at liberty to do as they
please, and Mr.. Bryan cannot prevent
them voting for him If they wish to
do so.
OF course we need not trouble our
selves about this, as the prohibition
electors will no. be chosen. But
the theoretical complications sur
rounding the situation are survivals
Of n of the purposes If the fathers
which failed to work put as intended.
Conditions may arise. and in fact
have arisen, in which these theoreti-
cal complications become very real.
In spite Of the fact that presidential
electors are now regarded as mere
figures, existing for the sole purpose
Of voting for the presidential candi-
dates in whose interest they nave
been nominated. voters will split
their tickets. In, several cases the
presidential vote OF a state has been
split. although no voter could intend
to vote partly for one presidential
candidate and partly for his opponent.
And in 1912 there was a Question
whether some electors would vote as
instructed OF would use their own
Judgment
Some day. when we have a lot Of
other things adjusted, We may get
roundsto the amendment Of our pres
dental election laws.

OF THE DEAD.

we are the children of the dead.
beyond the doors of Heavens blue
souls expect US to be true.
VINO knows how many tears they shed
When one of US shall walk astray?
VINO knows the words of praise
they say
When n Of us upon the earth
snail justify his hour Of birth?
We follow them who lived before.
Because they lived we now have life
Ano strength to meet its time Of
For us they opened wide the door,
6equeathed to us all things they
Left guideposts on the roads they
And to the best that they could know.
Pointed the way for, us to 70.
The dead have sung the songs we sing
Have loved these roses and the dew
And smiled beneath our skies OF
blue,
Seen the swift swallows on the wing.
And hoped as we are hoping here.
Toiled at their tasks from year to
That we who were to come to birth
should ind a kindlier. richer earth.
We are the living now and vet
Soon we must 70 to ioin the vas+
Uncounted army of the past
On whom the sun OF life has set.
And like our dead. whose young We
are,
Our influence shall travel far
Behtnd US countless ages stay,
To learn from us the better way.

But Classon interfered. He smiled
patiently, as n who has been foully
wronged yet does not desire
vengeance. Gentlemen, gentlemen"
he said, don't let any insult to me

apologize"
But the hot blood Of the Kernans

Beaumont are the motives Of jeal-

to produce his check-booka inc ex-
pose his business affairs to please the
vicious jealousy of a man who has
disgraced the name of sportsman.
Gentlemen, / nov that Mr.. Herman

The court from which there was
no appeal, the stewards of the Jockey
CLUB, had barred from the turf a Ker-
nan of Kernan's Farm!
I almost had to feel my way out Of
the Wall Street office Of Soren, where
the meeting Of the stewards had been
held, SO blinded was I with unshed
tears. I could feel the curious eyes Of
the great f1nancier's clerks upon me
as l passed from his outer banking
rooms. On the threshold Of the street
door I paused. 1t was not too late;
I could go back, retract my charges,
apologize and still remain in the ca

had been born. 1 half-started back;

the rush of Wall Street. Even great

the Herman pride. 1 would not re-
tract that which / knew to be true.

The special crew of the De.

vestigating the frauds perpetra-
ted in the Eleventh district on the
day Of the election, are finding
fraud after fraud, and the long
er they investigate the larger
will grow the crimes. The way
the election was conducted in
some precincts in Harlan and
Bell counties is a disgrace to civ
ilization. Yet some people who
claim that they are for fairness,

dastardly crime.

Tom Slaughter, the notorious
bank robber, Who robbed the
bank at Cave City, this State,
some months ago. was tried at
Ho: Springs, Ark, last week for
killing a deputy sheriff near that
place, and given a life sentence.
His career for the time he was
playing highwayman and bank
robber equaled that of the James
boys. 1t is a great relief wher
men of his character are either
put to death or safely in prison

In the next State race, in Ken
lucky, the, Democratic party
must procure permission from
the authorities to place guards at
all theprecincts in Bell and Har-
Ian counties, andif' they think
it, necessary place them in
other counties, in order to pre-
vent illegal voting. 1t is useless
for an honest man to offer for
office unless his rights can be
protected. The report of the
secret service men now investi-
eating, shows that the doings in
the above named counties was
radically dishonest.

Gen. George Robert Nivelle,
or OF the most eminent Generals
in France, arrived in Louisville
last Sunday afternoon. He was
commissioned by his government
to make a number of addresses
in the United States, and Louis
vile was fortunate in being one
of the number. He was met by
a large number of Louisville cit
liens representing many of the
larger social, civic and religious
agencies of the city. Monday
night he spoke in the Gypsy
Smith Tabernacle to an immense
crowd. He is the hero of Vernun,
and will be warmly received in
this country wherever he stops.

There are many colored men
who have lots of sense, but their
reasoning power is lacking. For
instance, they are told before an
election that the Republican par
ty is their dearest friend and it
wants to help them. Let US see:
Ohio went Republican over 250,-
600 at the last election. In one
of her cities there were six COL
ored men who were candidates
for the Legislature and two for
the State Senate. They were
all defeated, showing that the
white Republicans refused to
support them. Can not the COL
ored element of that party see
that it is used as a tool?

Keeping Apples.

A Kentucky reader writes to
ask when to pick apples and
how to store them for winter.
AS for storing, there is nothing
equal to cold storage if it be
available. Kept at a tempera-
ture but little above freezing the
germs of decay that may be
present become doamant and in
active and apples will keep in
good condition as long as their
texture of flesh or pulp admits
There is, as every one knows, a
great difference in this regard

HARDING SHIP HITS TROPICAL
WEATHER.

:. Sailing thru a quiet sea the
steamer Parismina with Presi-
deDt-elect Warren G. Harding
and his party aboard tonight ap-
preached the halfway mark in
her voygae from New Orleans
to Panama, where the first stage
in Mr.. Harding's vacation trip
will be reached.
Except for the light rain and
moderate wind which practically
always is expected in the neigh
borhood of the Yucatan Channel
fair weather favored the distin-
guished passenger and he spent
most of the day on deck walking,
reading and playing ship games.
Mrs. Harding remained in her
stateroom during today on advice
of her physician. 1t was ex-
planned she was not i'll, and that
her appetite continued good, she
was just in need of rest after the
excitement of the campaign, the
trying Texas experience and the
almost overwhelming welcome
accorded the party in New Or
leans.
The Parismina left the Gulf
of Mexico, and went into the
green waters of the Yucatan
Channel with its cross-currents,
choppy winds and occasional
rains, about noon today, passing
close to the western tip of Cuba.
In the afternoon real tropical
heat was encountered and most
of those aboard changed to duck
and linen apparel.
A picture show featured the
nights entertainment program.

Now is the time to be thinking
about picking and storing seed
corn both for home use in next
years planting and for sale.
Storing seed corn is no haphaz-
ard matter. 1t requires good
judgment and great pains. Sc
lect the seed corn early; hang up
every ear of it the same day it
is husked or it may mold; hang
it so as to keep each separate
from contact with any other;
hang it up indoors; there is a
corn plant in each kernel of corn
and these must be considered
and protected from cold and suns
and frost and drying winds.
There are many ways of storing
seed corn. One is to hold each
ear to itself by loops of cord
which pass from ear to ear; an
other is to erect a central post
into into which you drive spikes
around and around and empsle
an ear on each spike. This is
called a seed-corn tree; another
is a rack built in tiers.

give our views on the present

to wait until the candidates for

will say this, however, that it is

politics should not figure in elect
