-FOUR NATIVE KENTuCKIANS
ELECTED BY OTHER STATES
New Congress VIII Have Four Blue.
grass Natives Elected By
Their Adopted States.

Washington, Nov. 4.-With the de-
feat of Senator Mark Smith, Arizona,
Kentucky loses one of its native sons
who has been acting as represented of
adopted states in the United States
Senate; but this loss Is Offset by the
election of John W. Harreld, Repub-
lican In Oklahoma over Representa-
tive Scott Ferris, Democratic nomi-
nee.
Senator-elect Harreld was born and
reared near Morgantown In the
present Congress he represented the
Oklahoma City District in the House,
district which normally Democratic.
An interesting coincidence is that
Representative Everett B. Howard,
Democrat, of the Tulsa District which
is normally Republican, and who was
defeated last Tuesday, also is native
Kentuckian, distant cousin of Rep
resentatiVe Harreld, and was born
and reared in the same section of
Kentucky as the latter.
Besides Senator-elect Harreld there
are two other members of the United
States Senate who are native Ken
tuckians, but who were elected to the
highest legislative branch of the Fed
eral government from adopted states.
They are Senator Albert B. Fall,
New Mexico, who was born at Frank
fort and Oscar w. Underwood, Ala
bama. who was born in Louisville.
Senator Underwood was reelected for
term OF six years. Senator Falls

THE ELECTION AND BUSINESS.

Businessmen of both partes-repubEcan
like Judge Gary and democrats like Paul War
burg-take it for granted that Senator Hard
ig's election means changes in financial policies
of the government which will help business
The presidentelect is no theorist or teacher, but
is level-headed businessman who is under
stood to see the need of the revision Of the ex-
cess profits tax of certain changes in our tariff
law, and of reimbursement of income tax rates.
He is known to realize the necessity Of retrench-
ment and will ask for budget law enabling
him and his cabinet to restrain extravagant APP
preparations of public money. His policy, as
understood, will regard it is imperative first
concern Of the government to reduce the ma
tional debt. To this end we may look for cur
tailment Of expenditures on war machines
army and Maryland to the earnest consider
alton Of any practical plan of refunding the ma
tional debt. His position our merchant ma
rne was made clear in a recent contribution
from his pen to the Nautical Gazette. In his
opinion, "a well equipped merchant marine Is
a prime essential of successful commerce and
the best agency Of trade development. Nothing
else will supply the same enterprise in the
search for new markets, nor contribute the
same encouragement for the investment abroad
of our surplus capital Overseas transportation
in American bottoms is Of the root and essence
of American commercial expansion

favor a law giving American commerce the adj

confidently expected, mean return of some
thing like normal business conditions at an
early day.

WOMEN NOT gTAMPEDED.

The vote Of the women has demonstrated the
wisdom of giving them the ballot Certain nl-
fluences tried to- deliver their vote against can
didates for the senate and house who had OPP
posed the granting of suffrage, but the result
shows that women refused to be guided by such
selfish interests, preferring to judge each man
on his entire public record rather than by his
vote on a single question. The reelection OF
Senators Brandegee, Of Connecticut, Wads-
worth, of New York, and Moses, Of New Hamp-
shire proves the point. All Of those senators
we're active opponents of suffrage, and all were
marked for defeat by few women who had
formed themselves into political associations
for that purpose.
The example set by the women voters IN
forming an estimate of each candidate on his
record as a whole rather than on some isolated
instance in that record may well be followed
by male voters who have enjoyed the ballot
since coming Of age. Unfortunately it is the
tendency among certain classes OF our citizens
to condemn a candidate for Office who, although
his record may be satisfactory in everything
else, has failed to please in one particular.
They seem to forget that no man can hope to
satisfy everybody, and that if public Offices
were restricted to only those individuals who
are acceptable to all none Of them could be
filled

A WORD TO THE OTHERWISE.

In an editorial printed in last Fridays
Gate City warning was given that women hav-
ing demonstrated their power as integral part
of the electorate, it might occur to officials
who are chosen to govern municipalities that
it behooves them to walk in the straight and
narrow path of conduct if they are not to feel
the full force of feminine resentment at laxness
in government Demonstration Of possible
ties in this respect comes from the city OF Yon-
Gala, Oregon, where an entire municipal ticket
composed of women has been chosen Mrs. Mary
Burt having been elected mayor. Under gen
eral Indictment of inefficiency, the women Or
ganized campaign against the men oficehold-
ers and carried it on 50 quietly that their op-
ponents did not realize what was taking place
until the votes were counted.
At prediction meetings, attended solely by
women, charges were made that city officials
were permitting broken sidewalks to go unre-
paired, that speeding automobiles were uncon-
trolled that streets were insufficiently lighted
and that general slackness In municipal affairs
prevailed. As a cure of these alleged ills, the
women were urged to elect set of city officials
Of their own sex. The count of ballots showed
they did So
Men in public Office the country over should
heed the lesson taught by the women of the
Oregon municp patty.

MANUFACTURING WORDS.

One Of the deplorable crimes against the Eng
lish language Of today is the manufacture of
words. 1t is not at all uncommon, in reading
newspapers, magazines and even books Of re-
cent issue, to come across words made up by
the writer's and having no legitimate place in
our tongue. If the crime spreads we shall have
a language so confusing as to be useless for
accurate writing.
For instance we come across the word ''wear-
out referring to an article that ''has no wear
out in it, This is a good example Of word
making Of a certain kind. Two words used as
an expression are united into one by the word
conner Another variety of this crime is COM
mtted when the wrong form Of a word is used
so frequently as to force the dictionary makers
to include it in their lists. A sample Of this
is the word ''forecasted,'' used as the perfect
tense of or past participle or Forecast The
proper form is ''forecast,'' for the word is
made up Of FORE and cast and the parts
of the last word misused in the compound do
not have the "ed.' But 'forecasted'' was

MUST MAKE GOOD.

the ability of the American voter to do his own
thinking. Platform promises must be followed
by deeds in accordance Herewith, else new
will be clothed with power. The
democrats threw their 1916 platform in the
waste basket after winning the election upon
it, and proceeded to conduct the government
to the independent will OF the presl-
dent. The republicans can well afford to take
a leaf from the experience of their opponents,
and realize that unless at the end of four years
they can show record Of achievement IN ac-
cordance with their platform tt-oy are likely
to suffer similar fate.

Chamberlain of Oregon.

New York Herald: Senator Cham
.berlain will yield his seat to Robert
N. Stanfield "a republican, on the
fourth of next March.
None of the democratic senators
swept back into private life by the
vote of last Tuesday will carry home
a finer certificate of patriotic service
than the gentlemen who was chairman
of the senate committee on military
affairs in the sixty-fourth and sixty
fifth congresses and first of the minor
ity members Of that committee in the
sixty-sixth.
Like Senator Wadsworth of New
York. who succeeded him as chairman
when the senate turned republican.
Senator Chamberlain possessed spe-
cial and infinitely accurate knowledge
of the affairs coming within his legis-
latiye province. His mind was as
clear as bell, his judgment broad and
impartial, his initiative fertile and his
industry uncomfortable. The loyal
efforts of such man in such post
during a war period such as that which
we have experienced are fairly COM
parable in Importance to those OF
cabinet officer.
! Therefore all those who remember
the time when democrats and repubfi-
cans in congress and out of 1t were
working together without thought OF
partisansbip to support the govern
ment in an effective prosecution OF
the war will always recall with respect
and gratitude the part George ~.
Chamberlain took in that tremendous
enterprise. With regard to the Sc
lectiye draft, to coast defense, TO 1000
control and military transportation
and to an infinitude of detailed legls-
lation connected with military opera
tions his record is surcharged with
/ meritorious service. And there stands
out to his everlasting credit as early
and as keen a perception OF the need
of national preparedness as If he had
shared the clairvoyance OF Theodore
Roosevelt himself.
1 a good American Of engaging per-
sonality and great ability, the author
of the Chamberlain military prepar-
edness bill of 1918 and the doer OF
countless things which helped America
to win the war has earned secure
place in the list of those who were
the makers of victory.
