Eight Are Killed in
Kentucky Election Day


Kentucky paused in counting her
ballots at the close Of election day
Tuesday to count her wounded and
her dead.
The death list stood at eight, with
little hope that several others re-
ported seriously wounded would sur
yive.
The list of wounded swelled the
tGhl number Of casualties to more
than q score.
In Breathitt county four mon
were killed, five probably fatally
wounded in battle at the polls in
the Clayhole precinct In Spring
Fork precinct another was killed.
On Frozen creek Democratic cleo
ton officer was mortally wounded.
In Estill county one man was shot
and killed.
In Madison county one man was
killed.
In Louisville policeman fired in
to crowd. Harry Ross, 20, was
seriously wounded, and Mrs. Lillian
Collins, Ga, also was wounded
The battle in Breathitt county
from which the largest casualty list
Of the day resulted is said to have
started in a dispute over election Of
ficers.
Following the firing, which assum-
ed uncomfortable proportions, the
election in the precinct was dicon-
tinued and it is alleged that ballots
were thrown in Troublesome creek.
Reports from outside cities said
that more persons than four were
killed, but an APPARENTLY authentic
report from Jackson placed the
number dead at that figure, adding,
however, that of the five other men
believed to be mortally wounded,
some, it was feared, would not live.
The Louisville incident added to
the shame of the Falls City, follow
ing upon the heels of the-arrest on
Tuesday morning of Overton Harris,
candidate for mayor, while sitting
in chair in the Tyler hotel, watch
ing raid in which Democratic
workers were being arrested. Con-
corning it the Louisville Post says: :
ssNot since the darkest hour Of 1905
has so outrageous an episode hap
pened in Louisville"
In Estill county, where P. F.
Wolfinbarger, Republican candidate
for sheriff, was wounded by Lloyd
Winkler; Winkler was shot and kill
ed by Wolfinbarger's son, Jeg, and
Plant Richardson, a bystander, was
wounded
The shooting in Madison county
was in the western part of the coun-
y, ten miles from Richmond, near
the Garrard county line, in the Poo
sey precinct. One man was shot and
killed. His name was not learned in
Richmond, where the affair was re-
ported Tuesday night.

Free Fares to StOckmen.

Free return fares are granted to
livestock shippers by the new freight
tariffs filed with the Minnesota Rail-
road & Warehouse Commission by
three Of the largest railroads operating
in the state. Furthermore they will
be entitled to first class passage. The
restoration Of this privilege is dis
tinct gain for the small livestock
shippers of Minnesota, one that they
are in position to appreciate after
having been compelled for years to
pay full fare home after taking a car
load of stock to market.
It was the federal railroad admin
stration that deprived the stockmen
of their free return trips and the rule
has been maintained by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
Restoration of the privilege is duo
to the acceptance by the railroads Of
the terms of legislative act of 1921
requiring railroads to carry stockmen
who ship one carload back to their
home without charge. The matter
was arranged by the Minnesota Rail-
road & Warehouse Commission which
secured the consent of the rail man
agements to waive all interstate rules
and restore the old state rule.
The act became effective April Is,
1921, and shippers who have paid re-
turn fares since that date will be en-
titled to a refund upon making a
proper showing.

A Very Old Madness.

Is there nothing new under the
round and shining sun? 1t would
seem not. The world stood trembling
and shaking at the red specter of Boil
shevism. Here was a new and dread
thing.
And vet at dinner table sat New
Yorker with the Chinese president and
certain Chinese ministers. The table
talk ranged to Bolshevism according
to the tale as it is told in the Saturday
Evening Post. The American asked
if there was not some dread in China
that the Mongol masses might be af-
fected by soviet ideas. Said a minist-
er:
No / don't think our people will
care to experiment with such
ideas again. You will remember
that we tried Bolshevism in the
third and again in the eleventh
century. It didn't work for us
either time, and after two failures
we shall hardly give it a third
trial.

shadow of the Great Wall and by the
winds from Cobb! These Chinese

The Tanlac formula is purely ethical

vegetable and is made from the most

Ten Ingredients in Tanlac.
Altogether, there are ten ingredi-
ents in Tanlac, each of which is of re-
cognized therapeutic value.
In referring to one of the more i'm
portant ingredients of Tanlac, the En-
cyclopedia Brittanica says:
1T has been the Source of the most
valuable tonic medicines that have
ever been discovered"
In referring to other of the general
tonic drugs contained in Tanlac, the
18th Edition of Potter's Therapeutics,
standard medical textbook, states
that they impart general tone and
strength to the entire system, includ-
ing all organs and tissues
This same well-known authority in
describing the physiological action Of
still another of the ingredients of Tan
lac, which is of value in treating what
is commonly known as a rundown
condition." uses the following express
sion:
1T is highly esteemed in loss of ap-
petite during convalescence from acute
diseases"

rate we try to cure him IN an lntelll-
gent way.
Furnishing a criminal never cured
him. Deneff will go to the pen and
continue to be just as bad as ever.
Any warden will tell you that the peni-
tertiary is not to reform criminals,
but to punish them. If the miscreant
breaks out or serves his term he is
worse than ever.
Why cannot people look at facts, in
stead Of plunging ahead in delusion.
There should be no prisons. Every
one of them should be hospital.
They should be run, not by turkeys
and police, but by physicians who have
specialized in psychic diseases.
Society is absolutely, fundamental
ly wrong on this question. All puni-
shment is wrong. For the simple
reason that it does no good.
To punish man or boy for crime
is precisely on level with kicking a
horse in the belly when he balks and
makes you angry, or chopplng the
piano with an AK because you bumped
into it.
It gratiies your vengeance. That's
all.
Cure, not hurt. This is reason.
Of course, the average man will not
believe this, and will think it utter
twaddle. Neither will savage be
lieve you are not joking when you tell
him the earth is round like ball.
And for the same reason in both cases.
But, says the objector, are not the
fear of pain and the desire for pleasure
the very first teachers Do not chill
dren so learn?
Yes. It is fundamental. But it is
a law of animals, and governs human
beings only as they are animals.
In the complicated condition of civil
ization this law is wholly inadequate.
If all that held people back from crime
was the fear of the sheriff, the city
would be burned up and drenched with
blood before tomorrow.
1t is the invisible policeman that
really protects us. It is conscience
sense of decency, self-respect and
an innate desire to do right-that
makes the streets safe.
Anyone who thinks he is secure
just because a few blueeoats stand
around is foolish. It is something in
side the breast of every man that pro-
tects us.
You can subdue animals by fear, and
you can keep savages in state OF
subsection by fear, but fear can never
save civilization.
Our real police are the teachers IN
the schoolhouse, the priests and past
ors in the church, and most of all the
tnothers in the home.
These rule spirits. And we are
spirits, not apes.
If the people in New York city did
not, almost all of them, instinctively
desire to be honest, if they all We're
determined to steal, to rape, to kill and
to burn if they got a chance, the whole
regular army of the United States
could not save the city from becoming
hell within a week.
To be sure, the idea that the way to
stop crime is to punish it seems COM
mon sense; but the greatest and dens-
est errors in the world are errors OF
common sense.
The average man thinks Jesus a
little crazy when he tells US to return
good for evil, but all the evil that has
ever been stopped in the world has
been stopped by good.

have got far enough along to see that

son and killing, and we haven't grown

Punishment
DR.. Frank Crane in Current

ODliliou.
A return to the whipping post as the
most effective deterrent of crime was
advocated the other day by Justice
Fawcett, in the Brooklyn supreme
court, when he sentenced Sol Denetf
to from ten to twenty years on high
way robbery charge
Prisons are too comfortable to serve
as threats to those of criminal tend
encies, the court pointed out, because
there is no pain suffered and no humi-
liation.
'sThe time has come" Justice Faw-
cett said, when the judicious use OF
the lash would meet longfelt want
in making our streets and parks safe
and in protecting the lives and proper
ty of our people, This would not be
going back to barbarism or the Dark
Ages, but would be a means Of afford
ing honest, decent-living people the
full enjoyment of their property and
a peaceful pursuit of their righteous
ways"
Turning to Deneff, the justice con-
tinued: "If, for instance, in your
case. you were to receive six months
in prison and sixty lashes, administer
tails by rugged officer, | am sure
that it would cure you Of your ambi-
ton to live without working and would
cause your kind to abandon crime as
q means of livelihood"
So reports the daily press.
= 1t gives us very concrete and vivid
illustration of one Of the most ancient
and honorable errors in the world.
That error is belief that the way
to prevent men from doing wrong, or
from repeating a wrong, is to hurt
them.
It is so simple, so self-evident, so
plain as the nose on your face, that
the only thing, it would seem, to an
swer to those who deny it is, pooh
pooh! and, bless my soul, is the man
mad?
Spare the rod and spoil the child,
said the ancient wiseacre. And ever
since then we have accepted punish
ment as the natural and logical cure
for evil.
To encourage goodness, reward it.;
to discourage badness, punish it. That
is ordinary common sense.
There's only one trouble with it.
1t is not true.
No, there's more than one trouble
with it. For it is not only not so, but
it will not work, it never did work and
never will work.
Of all the real goodness and virtue
in mankind since the world begin, not
one ounce of it was ever created by
the hope of reward or pay of any
kind.
And of all the wrongdoing that has
been prevented among men since the
day of Cain, not one man has ever been
held back from evil by fear of being
hurt.
He may have been restrained from
committing some certain form Or act
Of evil, but it was only to break out
somewhere else and do evil as bad.
The trouble with Denef was that
he was a sick man, moral pervert,
for to have your mind, desires and will
out Of order is just as much patho-
logical situation as to have your liver
out of order.

Tonic and Body Builder.
Tanlac was designed primarily for
the correction Of disorders of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels. At the same
time, however, it is a powerful recon-
structive tonic and body builder, for
it naturally follows that any medicine
that brings about proper assimilation
of the food and the thorough elimina-
ton of the waste products must, there
fore, have a far-reaching and most
beneficial effect upon the entire sys-
tenn.
