THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Conven-
ton, to be held in Louisville,
May 4th, will in reality be a big
conference of Democrats from
every quarter of the State, of all
shades of belief.
1t will be a convention in which
every element in the party will
be recognized, but the reccgni-
ton wilI:belgiven their Democ-
racy, and nothing else. Mem
bers who have been prominent in
the so7called factions which
have heretofore existed in the
party will receive honors from
the Convention, but they will re
ceive such honors as Democrats
and notIasIfactionalists.
The Convention will, we be-
Iieve, steer clear of party strife.
because strife is certain to bring
disaster, while harmony is the
sure harbinger of victory.
It willlbe a notable meeting OF
Kentucky Democrats in Louis
Vile. No such pro
scriptive tactics as those which
marked the recent Republican
State Convention in Louisville
will be countensnced. There
will be no A. T. Hert in the
Democraticiparty to whom ale
glance supersedes allegiance to
the party itself. No dotted line
will have to be signed by the
delegates.
1t will be a free and untram
melted discussion of men ant
measures by the representative
of all Kentucky Democrats, anC
those Republican gentry who art
so eagerly looking for trouble
are doomed to disappointment.

Cox for President.

stratiOn in Ohio. He is broad-gauge1
in every respect and has proved that
he can draw strength from every eIe4
ment of the voting population"
We endorse Governor Cox because
we know James NJ. Cox to be one hum
bred per cent American, because he
has demonstrated his Americanism and
we know that he is the only kind q
American that viii be selected to the
White House as the successor to WoOf
row Wilson.
We know that it takes an extraor-
dinarily good man of the Democratic
party to even once carry the State Of
Ohio which normally is Republican, By
over one hundred thousand majority.
And, so we know that when a man
carries Ohio three times as has Cox,
he is what the fellows who go to the
races call a safe 'hoss."
We want, first capable man in the
White House and we want him to be
Democrat.
Cox is capable, Cox is honest, Cox
is a Democrat, and he is the best rum
ner in our party as he seems to us.
That's why We are for Cox at this time
and that's why we want Kentucky to
be for Cox.
The COX HEADQUARTERS viii be
open at the Seelbach Hotel at Louis
vile for communication from all who
are interested and believe that this
great man should be nominated and
where all Democrats will be welcome.

The new tax law which Gov.
Morrow attacked in all of his
speeches, remains unchanged in
any particular. There has been
no reduction of taxation any
where. On the contrary, the
minimum school tax levied in
the counties has been raised
from Is to 25 cents. This means
an increase of taxation upon the
people amounting to $1,000, 900.
A gasoline tax has been levied,
which it is estimated will amount
to 100000. The new automo-
bile tax will amount to $2,000,-
900 additional. So as the result
of three months of Gov. Nor
row, the taxes of the people
have been increased So, 100000
a year.

Those Democrats in Kentucky who
believe that Governor James NJ. Cox
of Ohio because of his great ability
and superior qualifications should be
the next President of the United
States, have decided to lay his claim
before our Democratic voters with the
hope that they will join US in securing
delegates to the San Francisco con-
vention, who will favor his nominal
ton.
To secure a delegation from Ken
lucky to San Francisco it is first nee
essary that all Democrats who are for
Cox shall attend the county mass con-
Yention to be held in the various coun-
ty seats. at 2. o'clock in the afternoon
of Saturday, May LIST, and see that the
delegates they send to the Democratic
State Convention at Louisville, Tues
day, May 4th, are Cox men.
This is no time for strife within. the
Democratic party. The man who I'M
dertakes to create the impression that
the cox MOVEMENT is a movement
in the interest Of every individual
branch, wing or faction Of the Demo-
cratic party in Kentucky, is not we'll
wisher for party unity and party sue
cess.
Former United States Senator John
son Camden of Versailles has accept
ed the craftsmanship of the organiza-
ton that is being made for the Gov
ernor in Kentucky, and that is sufi-
cient guarantee that the movement is
not to be factional.

UNCLE SANS GAME RESERVE
Island Of Afognak, on South Coast Of
Alaska, Peculiarly Adapted for
the Purpose.

Ono of the most picturesqueIy In
terestlng parts Of our national do
main is large island Off the south
coast Of Alaska. It is called Afognak
and Is about 05 miles long by 40 In
width, with very irregular shore line
and deeply indented by bays.
1t is the property of the government,
and In 1892 was set aside by President
Harrison as a game and fish reserve.
The important purpose that II serves
Is that Of preserve for salmon all
the finest varieties of which run up Its
stream In great numbers at the breed
Ing season to spawn.
Afognak Is mountainous island,
Of volcanic origin, Its loftlest peak
rising to an elevation Of 1900 feet.
In the interior are n number OF large
lakes, which are the breeding
grounds Of the salmon. One of
these, Letnik lake, is seven miles long,
and on Its shore Is located a big gov
eminent fish hatchery.
In the days Of long ago, before the
United States bought Alaska, the sal
mon fishery Of Afognak was operated
by the Russlan-Amerlcan company,
which established on the. island col
Ony Of its superannuated and pensl0ned
employees. These were Aleuts, whose
descendants today compose the native
population, somewhat more than 400,
though their blood Is much mixed.

JUST HOW THEY ORIGINATED
EnterprIslng Chicago Newspaper Man
Has Traced Some Common Gus
toms to Their Source.

The common custom of shaking
hands, according to an encyclopedia
In which we have every confidence,
was introduced by the Phoenlclans,
who signified their agreement to a
bargain by claspIng hands.
The common custom of offering
ones left arm to lady originated in
days when one was required to keep
one's right hand on the hilt of sword.
Which reminds us
The common custom of treating
dates from the days when a drink Of
whisky cost dime, and continued
more or less generally for many years
The common custom OF making a
ouch was initiated by a man who
went on the rocks In the stone age,
and 1t has been practiced ever since.
The common custom Of wlnking
originated when the serpent began
20 chat with Eve while Adam was do
ng the chores, and 1t still enjoys a
considerable vogue at beaches and on
excursion boats.
The common custom Of swearing
was invented when the first hammer
ait the first thumb, and It has been I'M
1ergolng constant improvement ever
since.
The common custom Of swearing
off began the first Of January Of some
year. but 1t was never really enforced
until the first Of July, 1919.
The common custom Of going
away on vacation was inflicted upon
humanity to make mankind apprecl-
