When former President Tnft liappeiiftl to refer, to himself ns the "titular lender" of the liepiihiic'nn pnrty, the Democrntic papers mode an awful howl. They sfild he should be President of. the Amciiean people" rather than lender of a part'. President Wilson now cnlls himself "the leader of a crent pnrty" and the same editors applaud. Are there ,tw,o,standnrds of political morals, one for Repub licans and one for Democrats? ' ON THE FIRING LINE. The Democrats propose to issue u campaign hund-boolc citing alleged achievements of the par ty. In the estimation Juf the people, there are four achievements to be credited or perhaps charged is the better word Jo the party in power. The iirst "achievement" is the Underwood tariff law, This law has closed thousands of factories, reduced hours in others, set at idleness more than a million men and brought, stagnation to the business world. It doesn't pretend to be a protective measure. More than that, President Wilson, in his message of ' September 4, virtually confesses to Congress that the Underwood law has failed in its primary pur pose of raising revenue for the CSoverumeut at a time when the country was at absolute peace. The second "achievement" is the banking and currency law. It has been on the statute books since December, 1!)IU, but it is not yet in operation. There are ihrcl possible reasons for this, 'lhere is either soinetliing wrong with the law, or there is somthing wrong with those who are to admin ister it, or the administration does not dare put il into operation long before election for fear it will be demonstrated as big a failure as the Underwoot tariff law. I he third "achievement ' is the reneal bv the Democrats u the Panama free tolls, thus repudiat ing the pi form of their party, the President's own The war, which has brought a new tax upon us, the pressure of public business, disturbed trade conditions and important trade opportunities did not prevent the President from making members of his Cabinet away from their dutes and sending them to make political speeches in the Maine con gressional enmpaign. And then the Republicans elected three out of the four Congressmen. Promises Heavy Yield Estimated at More Than Two Hundred Million Pounds public whelm ge and the expressed will of an over ,' majority of the American people. rth "achievement" is the proposed ap- n by tliis Congress of a hundred million ore than was appropriated by the last in Congress, and yet that Congress was condemned in the Baltimore platform for vagauce. the President or anyone of his party leaders or a minute the American people will not tiish between real nchievemcntsnd simply 'g amuck? THE BAYONET. Another war theory is being shattered by the dramatically grim realities of the lighting on the. River Aisne in France. We confidently weie in formed that it would be a physical impossibility for contending forces to reach the point of a hand-to-hand struggle for mastery. Despite the magazine rifle, with its range of two miles, neiu artillery aim slirielcing slirapnel, we arc told that time after time the issue of mastery was settled by "cold steel." We mournfully talk of the "days of chivalry' as if nlartial heroism were a relic of bygone ages How may one imagine more reckless during, more sustained courage than is involved in either push ing home or receiving a bayonet charge? The individual, human factor still is the deciding element in war. Hellish instruments of destruc tion born in the genius of perdition are not all. "The race is not always to the swift, nor the bat tle to the strong." Indomitable bravery still is a factor. Commercial Tribune. HOW TO TELL A GOOD AUTO DRIVER. It has now come to lie known that a good auto driver is recognized by the noise he doesn't make. If he permits his engine to run away and disturbs the whole Main street he is a novice; but if he stops and starts in an easy, quiet manner, he is an expert. Some who have had machines for years are still on the novice list, while others have be come experts in a few weeks. Potts, of Colfax. 111. ypsgygfrsy;-ygi;yJ3 THE DAILY NOVELETTE. . Lord was asked to save Sodom if ten right men could be found in it. Ten Democrats finally been found to make up the Federal Re , Board, and yet the new "non-partisiun" cur ty law has been amended once and another pro il of amendment has been made, before it has ially taken effect at all. The same short-sighted vision of husbandry and onomy that has made the Democratic South risk 3 financial prospects year after year practically 1 the cotton crop alone so that it is now facing remendous possibilities of loss because of the Eu ropean war, is the same political economy that .framed the Underwood tariff. And the failure of -the Underwood tariff to provide revenue against emergencies now brings a wholo nation face to face with the always obnoxious and to he dreaded war tax. The tariff, according to a famous Democratic authority, may he "a local issue" in tlc making, but it is a national issue after it is made and fails. It is merely the same old inevitable logic of results oi me same old uemoeratie business incompetency. The Government has voted to return to the State of Louisiana its Ordinance of Secession, passed in the troublous days of '(il. Doubtless, it will simply he changed in its text a little and passed again in a secession from the Democrat ie party that has ruin- Papa's Consent. She eurtuinly did loo hint, Although she was quite fickle; Shu curious about it wut, My, Alj! 'Twits hut a nickel! In a soft, but clinging Chambcinbcrt gown of .Mexican lavender, l'hryune Kelly never looked lovelier. Etholbert Swoggins had been sighing all evening as he ga7cd at her in the dint light of the parlor. "Miss Kelly," ho said at length, hesitatingly, "MU Kelly, do you think it would be possible for me to heo our father for a moment or two" A glow filled the beautiful girl as she read the feverish light that filled his eyes. "Certainly, Mr. Swoggins," sho replied sedately, and loft the room in a dignified manner, but Swoggins could hear her running through the hall. Presently Mr. Kell. camo in, and after a short conversation with the young man, patted him on the shoulder and again (putted the room, calling his daughter back as ho did so. "It's gotting late, Miss Kelly, I must go," said Swog gins. There was a sinilo of triumph on his face. "Shall I find you at homo on Yy'edne.sday night f" Sho smiled shy acquiescence, and, after seeing him to tin door, rushed back to her father. "Now, now," interrupted Mr. Kelly, "you must not ask questions Mr. Swoggins wanted to se0 mo on a matter Which for tho present must remain a secret." "Pleaso tell me, father," sho begged. She begged so hard that at last belaid: "Oh, we'll if you must know, ho wanted to borrow a ulcKol to get home with." (Tho End.) Louisvillo Herald. Mt. Sterling, Ky. A enreful study oi tobacr-o conditions in tho burloy belt by men engaged in the business brings out tho statement "tho best hurley crop ever produced in Kentucky." This seems to bo somewhat extravagant when tho fact is known thnt tho acre ngo was pronounced short nnd the yoar unseasonable, for tho work as well as tho etilturo of tho weed. Never in the his ttiry of tho crop in Central Kentucky lias there been such nn abundance ot tho weed, especially In fields that six weeks ago indicated almost complete fail lire. In Hath and Nicholas counties, whero It was said about tho middle of August that there would bo practlcalfy no to bacco, estimates aro now of 77 per cent, acreage, with a DO per cent, yield. In Fleming nnd Mason counties, thai about the samo time had as many dis couraged tobacco men as one would want to couio in contact with during a month's ride, growers now predict an immense yield. In l'ayette, Clark, Man ison, Lincoln, Garrard, Anderson, Wood ford, Bourbon, Scott, Jlnrrisou ami (I rant counties tho same story is told, and the production in all these sections .s much better than was ever auticipar ed by growers at setting time. In Montgomery county tho yield is far beyond expectations and tho crop the best over grown in the county, which has been a tobacco pro 'ucing I'tiuuty for ninny years. Tho yield in the county will average out 1,100 pounds per acre, with some fields in dicating yield of 11,000 pounds or over The quality of the weed all oer Cea tral Kentucky is very fine, with broad loaf and stalks topping extremely high. Cutting has been in progress for thre weeks nnd some growers are becoming a little anxious for fear of frost cut ome tobacco green, but in the main all hut the hurley belt, tho crop has been allowed to get good and ripe be tore being put into tho Virus. Some growers have finished the work of cutting and housing and the tobacco which has been cut some time, is curing out in a ury satisfactory manner. The U'ry large crop, coupled with the amount on hand, itccording to Govern meiit reports, does not indicate high price for tho weed, and from the most careful survey of the situation it is the opinion of an expert buyer who gets lie best, that it will take an exception ally good crop, caretully cured and pre pared and sorted in a mastorly niaiine to average IS cents per pound all around. This buyer, who has nn ' ttidy and business of haudl'iig tobacco for 110 years, stated that it would be to tho grower's interest to handle his tobicco carefully and only sell tint lo id at a time, and not glut the loose leaf markets at their opening sales. The outlook is for a good yetr foi tobacco growers and warehouse men ai over the state. Tobacco men have be gun to "clean house," and making ar rangements for the opening oi the loose leaf markets, which will probably be in every county about December. Ther is no question but that tho crop is enor mous in pounds for tho season, and ex cellent in quality. Tho Hurley jiold will bo over 200,000,000 pounds.
