Democrats should not be misled
by statements, however sincerely
made, appearing in print from time
to time, and sometimes heard in
conversation, that the Democratic
party would be in better position
for the 1924 campaign if it did not
win the House this year. It has
been frequently pointed out, on the
other hand, that each time the Dem
ocratic party has elected a President
of the United States, it carried the
House of Representatives in the
mid-election preceding, with the
sole exception that in 1886 it carri-
ed the House and failed to re-elect
Mr.. Cleveland in 1888. although in
that Presidential election Mr.. Cleve-
land received plurality of the pop
ular vote. So to all intents and pur-
poses the precedent established has
held good.
Not only the Democratic party,
but entire nation would be benefit
ted by the election of a Democratic
Congress this fall. In the first place
it will put stop to excessive appro-
priations and oppressive taxation. 1t
would act as check to all the reac-
tionary Republican plans of plumber
ing the Treasury in behalf of other
special interests. 1t would give the
Democrats the opportunity to form
ulate progressive and conservative
legislation, for which they would re-
ceive full credit in any event, and to
hold the administration responsible
in the case of vote. 1t would act
as restraint upon reckless depart
ments; it would put a stop to secret
deals like the Teapot Dome Naval
Oil leases and like midnight raids
upon the civil service as in the case
of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing scandal.
The election of Democratic
House would hearten the Demo-
cratic party in every section of the
country 1t would insure the Sc
lection of able men from every sec
ton of the country as chairman of
the House committees, and in many
other ways prepare the way for the
election of a Democratic President
in 1924.

THIRTY-FIVE MILLIONS CUT IN
ASSESSMENT

A cut of s35,704,029 in the
assessment of property in Kentucky
in 1921 compared with that Of 1920
with an attendant loss in revenue of
s70,4O9, is shown in the report of
the State Tax Commission. The
greatest loss in revenue was noted
in the assessment for tangible per-
sonality, a decrease Of $129.019.94
being apparent in this item. The es-
innate of the budget commission for
1922 places the loss in revenue at
approximately S1,000,000, according
to Chairman Wells. The assessment
as of July 1, 1921, for the taxes of
1922, included complete reports
from every county in the State with
the exception of of Fayette. The
report of the Board of Supervisors of
that county has not been approved
by the tax commission, but the fig
ures reported were used in arriving
at the total assessment.

DRIVING A CAR FOR FUN

Owning a car is one thing and
driving it another. ALI you need to
buy a car is the coin. But, you
can't drive the bus until you get a
couple of licenses-one for the ma
chine and one for yourself. Jotting
down few specifications and serial
numbers, together with check for
nominal amount registers the auto.
You, yourself, don't get of so easy.
You have to take a road test and q
written examination. Some fine
morning you get the engine in Al
working order and accompanied by a
licensed driver you go down to the
Bureau of Motor Vehicles. II you're
ready you get, let's say, fifth place
in line. The inspector jumps upon
your running board, collects your
temporary permit and says. Drive
ahead" If you know how to handle
the car, you follow his orders and
even make a good turn" without
hitting either curb. After getting
an o. X. on your road work, you
proceed to the written exam and
answer such questions as: How
much gas is there in gasoline"
When it's all over, you get your
license card.

A FULL DEMOCRATIC VOTE IN
SURES VICTORY

The Democratic National Com
mittee has taken steps to urge State,
county and district leaders through
out the United States to devote
special efforts to getting out the
vote on election day. The indica-
tons, it finds, are that there will be
a large stay-at-home vote by Re-
publicans who are Disguised with
the work of the Congress and dissat-
isfied with the administration.
There can be no better way to as
sure Democratic victory than to get
the Democratic ballots into the bal
lot box.
This is a work in which the hum
blest member of the party can rem
der valuable assistance, and the
Democratic National Committee asks
every Democrat to constitute him
self a committee OF one for this
duty.

SOME YOUNGSTERS FIND THE
WRONG PARENTS
(By Gene Stratton-Porter1


Here and there in a family there
is born a child with a wild heart.
1t is nothing less than a tragedy
when such a child is cursed with the
wrong parents. God gives to only a
few of his children a wildheart, a
musical ear, facial fingers. The
man or woman who keeps a child
born with the love of the woods in
its heart from contact with Nature,
who destroys the trust that God
placed in it's heart, and instills fear
bred by man, does a dreadful thing,
thing that must end in disaster.
Nature does not reveal her secrets
to everyone. Creatures of the wild
will not be brothers with any save
very few specially endowed hui
man beings.
To-day my heart sickens at the
though of what would have hap
pened to me if when I told my
mother 1 had been talking with the
fairies and what they said and did,
she had whipped me for not speak
ing the truth; if, when I came from
the woods with my apron torn and
soiled, full of dirty specimens, my
heart overflowing with the wonders
Of my discoveries, / had been beaten
and forbidden to go again. If we
are to have truly great art, litera-
ture, or science in the future, many,
perhaps most, of those who are to
| do the work will be born into this
world in simple, common homes
like the Indian homes in which the
author of 1.-THE Wild Heart" and
were born. What we as nation
! produce in wonder-work along any
creative line in the future is going
to depend upon the ability of par
ents of this generation to recognize
and foster unusual gifts in their
children when they first detect
them. The mother who whips a
child because it happens to have
been born with a wild heart does a
thing so wickedly cruel that there
are no words in which to describe
the situation adequately. If this
book will serve the one purpose of
making fathers and mothers of the
coming generation sympathetic and
kindly to the little wild hearts that
! they bring into the world, it will
perform a very great work indeed"

HOW LONG CAN MAN LIVE
WITHOUT SLEEP

The longest period of complete
and continuous insomnia authenti-
.caIly recorded terminated on the
ninth day with the death of the vic
Tim. after great suffering.
such cases are, however, extreme
" raref and can only be due to Pc
culiar diseases. In the ordinary way
even the strongest man could not be
kept continuously and completely
awake for more than 80 hours
without great danger to his actual
life. and even in this period of time
very remarkable changes would oc-
cur.
Some actual experiments have
been undertaken by scientific OBJ
servers, and Authorizations, abnor-
mai increase of weight, extraordi-
nary decrease in strength, and al
most complete loss of memory and
concentration occurred.
1t is TO be remembered that the
above applied to complete and con-
tinuous insomnia, and that even a
few minutes sleep would have re-
freshed the subject. The ordinary
person who says he hasn't slept for
three nights is speaking loosely. At
ter a real insomnia for that length
of time he wouldn't be able to speak

TOBACCO WORM TURNS

1t Is a long lane that has nc
turn" seems particularly applicable
to the hurley tobacco growers OF
Kentucky, who have completed the
negotiations for the disposal of prac-
Itically the entire 1922 crop to a
single buyer at their own price.
The single achievement in putting
over such a mammoth deal spells the
success of the Bingham cooperative
marketing plan and is in striking
contrast to the deplorable condi-
tions that formerly beset the indus
try.
Instead of taking what the buy
ers offered for their tobacco and
being glad to get it, the growers
now determine the grades of their
product and fix the price. The CO.
operative marketing plan not only
has been boon to the grower, but
it has sounded the doom of the
spectator, Independent warehouse
men and the "pinhooker" that
prospered while the grower groaned
under oppression of days not so far
back
Croakers derided any plan that
would elevate tobacco growing from
practical serfdom, but the co-opera-
tive association has furnished in
dubitable proof that there was a
feasible and sensible way to relieve
the intolerable conditions and give
the hurley growers some say in the
disposition of what they raised.
Long the under dog, the hurley
grower now has turned the tables on
his former oppressor.

To be of all save silence unaware,
AS if remembrance were the only

Worth waiting for, and dreams the

Mans soul grows quiet as the with

Hugging some hope, but vaguely un-
derstood,
Of lucent joys that shall not wholly
pass
With dying things-some STRINGS
moving deep
Around the roots capture the mem
Of other springs that shared the
fruits of sleep
And dared, in spite of death, again
to be-
o ecstacy of loafing. all the tides
Of peace, sun-dripping, flood the mo-

Of sight and hearing, as the earth

Of human and divine, of sky and

Lifting man up that he may walk
