NY OLD KENTUCKY HOME.
The sun shines bright in the old Ken
tucky home,
Tis summer, the darkies are gay;
The corn tops ripe and the meadows
in the bloom,
While the birds make music all the
day;
The young folks roll on the little cabin
floor,
All merry. all happy and bright:
By'n by hard times comes knocking
at the door.
Then my old Kentucky home, good
night
CHORUS:
Weep no more, my lady.
= weep no more today,
We will sing one song for the old Ken
tucky home.
For the old Kentucky home, far
away.
They hunt no more for the possum
and the coon,
On the meadow, the hill and the
shore;
They sing no more by the glimmer Of
the moon.
On the bench by the old cabin door:
The day goes by like a shadow Ger the
heart,
With sorrow where all was delight; |
The time has come when the darkies |
have to part.
Then my old Kentucky home, good |
night.
The head must bow and the back will |
have to bend.
Wherever the darky may 20;
A few more days. and the trouble all |
will end.
In the field where the sugar canes
grow:
4 few more days for to tote the weary
load,
No matter, twill never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the
road,
Then my old Kentucky home, good
night!

Stephen C. Foster who has been
called the greatest of American song
writer's was born near Pittsburgh,
Pa, July IA, 1896. His best known
songs are those of negro life in the old
south. For all his songs he wrote
both the words and the melody.
It is said that the sales of 'Old
Folks at Home" alone were over a half
million copies and that Foster received
more than $4,000 in royalties on this
one song Some of his best known
songs today are 'Old Black Joe."
Nelly Was a Lady" "Massa's in the
Cold Ground "Old Folks at Home"
My Old Kentucky Home" Many of
his songs have been translated into
other languages and many have been
used on the programs of celebrated
artists.
MY Old Kentucky Home" was
written in 1859 while Foster was visit
ng in Kentucky. This song gave him
place in the hearts Of kentuckians
and in 1906 the city of Louisville
erected a monument to his memory
life size statue Of Foster seated in
,halr, reproduction of the one in
which he sat while writing the song.
Pittsburgh dedicated a monument to
ilm in 1000 figure of Foster with
title negro boy beside him.
Foster died in 1864 and at his fu-
leral in Pittsburgh many of his own
melodies were played.

ing selfish policies which, if initiated
and persisted in, would operate against
our legitimate foreign trade and com
merce and might even plunge US in

Marine with its personnel trained to
the sea, presents a potential reserve
of men and ships for the Navy, which
must be taken into account by any
nation meditating an attack on us.
In war. without the Navy, our Mer-
chant Marine is swept from the sea
Without the Merchant Marine to rem

THE pressing need for economy IN

NEW FOX PICTURE
BRINGS PEARL WHITE

The strange story of Myrtle May
a Broadway cabaret hostess, who
possessed more real power, beauty
and personality than any of the fash
ionable society women who dis
dained and envied her, is told in
mastery fashion in 1.-THE Broadway
Peacock" an enthralling picture mar
ratiye of New York's Great White
Way, which will bring Pearl White,
celebrated Fox star, to the Liberty
theatre tomorrow.
Despite the warning of Maude
Ranger, 'gold-digger," the cabaret
girl becomes madly infatuated with
a wealthy young aristocrat, whose
mother would have tainted at the
very thought of her blue-blooded son
even speaking to girl like Myrtle.
Events follow one another rapidly
with Myrtle trying desperately to en-
mesh the handsome young million
aire. Though distinctly a fitting
mate for the young man, Myrtle fails
of her purpose because of the an
tagonistic efforts of the mothers law
yer. Desperate, Myrtle casts aside the
instincts of her better nature and be-
comes veritable tigress, thirsting
for revenge. Miss Whites power in
some of the scenes is said to be
astounding.
Charles J. Brabin, the noted di-
rector, is credited with the handling
of this picture.

drifted slowly to earth, landed

BACK AT THE STARTING POINT

BACK AT THE STARTING POINT
II started in politics IL years ago.
said Thomas r. Marshall on his re-
turn from Europe the other day
'Now I'm where 1 started from. I'm
out Of politics forever"
Back in 1908. Thomas Riley Mar
shall was an Indiana lawyer, member
OF the firm of Marshall, McNagny and
Clugston, Columbia City. He was
active in politics. got the political bee
and became Indiana's governor in
1909. Then the Baltimore convention
made him Woodrow Wilson's running
mate and he became the twenty
eighth vice president of the United
States on March 4, 1913, and held the
place for two terms. That was his po-
littcal career. Now he is, to use mis-
own words, Just an ex-vice presi-
dent and lawyer.
And he's out of politics Perhaps he
could serve America again if he would
say the word, but he won't do it. AS
he himself admits, old age is coming
on and he's got to get a little further
ahead before he meets it. There may
be false teeth to buy. A man in the
sixties cannot bother with jobs that
put him down right where they take
him up.
But politics does just that. From
a money standpoint, it never pays a
really big man. That is a sore spot
in politics.
There are only two ways to get
good men in office One is to make
the remuneration sufficiently large SO
that the man, having held the job,
may be a little ahead at the end of
his period of service. The other is
to find good men who already have
snug incomes and are SO imbued with
the spirit of public service that the
lack of getting ahead bothers them
not at all. T.

1t seems quite evident that Senator
Reed has won the democratic nomin-
alton again in Missouri. He has won,
too, in the face OF bitter fight. He
has been read out of the party by the
state leaders, and has had all of the
Wilson influence against him. The
former president gave out statement
in which he referred to the senator
as "marplot," and urged his defeat.
The women of the state were report
ed to be in opposition to him. In the
face of all this, however, the re-
turns seem to show him more than
10000 votes to the good. There has
evidently been something in Reeds
somewhere, which appealed |
to a lot of people He has won out |
in the preliminaries, however, and if
the democrats who profess to be in
to him continue in their
opposition, the chances are that Miss
