Entered at the Hartford post-office
i mall matter of tho second class.
The act of the recent Legislature
allowing one dog free of tax to tho
head of each family will Just about
do away with tho dog tax question.
Of course every man will admit to
the assessor that he has a dog, his
own personal property, but what's
the uso of claiming ownership of any
more than that? Tho neighborhood
may be full of bone-polishers more
thnn one for every Inhabltnnt nut
tho assessor hasn't time to trace
down their pedigree or ownership.
And the sheep men 'will scarcely be
reimbursed for dog-klllcd ilocks.
It Is tho aim to have one million
people in the Sunday x Schools of
Kentucky on May 7th, which Is Go-To-Sundny-School,day
this year. It
seems a pity thnt the people of the
State cannot get to Sunday School a
majority of the Sundays in the year,
but when a special effort is made to
get n great crowd of those thusly In
clined out for Just one day In a
twelve-month, everybody ought to
aid in this very laudable purpose.
There is plenty of time to get ready
and work up Interest In the matter.
Let there he a large attendance,
each one bringing somebody else.

In tho occupation of selling by rstnll
any malt mixture or malt bevorngo
containing any alcohol" the denier
shall first procure a llcrnse and pay
an annual tax therefor of $1,000.
All of which sounds a little conflict
ing. That liquor Is being sold In Haytl
(our colored suburb) and bootlegged
around Hnrtford, Is evidenced by the
men seen under the influence of It
almost every day and by notorious
events that have transpired In this
vcinlty lately. And we are confi
dent that Hartford Is not the only
place In tho county which suffers In
this respect. It Is becoming outrag
eous and It scorns like there ought

there are guilty ones hereabouts.

If He Goes Into the Fray A
Unique Political Situation
Is Presented.
Nearly every town of any size has
a few object-lessons In it of what
awnlts a boy who grows up In idle
ness and carelessness as to what tho
future holds In store for him. Ho
Is always wanting a soft job at good

'pay or a slight Increase if the work
Is no harder. He enres little about
learning a trade. In the course of
years he grows Into the personality
of Ills prototype aforementioned a
familiar elmrnct'T without regular
occupation or ambition. Is the ris
ing generation blind to object les
sons? ' Hartford has had Its clcan-up
days set In other springtimes, but
they never seemed to result in a
general movement of our citizens In
that direction. The days would usu
ally go by without any special ob
servance. Perhaps a clean-up week
would be better, during which sev
eral good days for the purpose
might occur. Anyhow, Hartford
needs cleaning up all over nobody
.will dispute that. It should be a
matter of pride with every citizen
to know that his town, and especial
ly his own premises, present a
neat and attractive appearance.
Plans should bo outlined and all
should take a personal interest In
tho matter.
There is ever a constant longing
with some people who live In the
rural districts to "go to- the city."
They seem to imagine that a great
city contains all the happiness, con
tentment and prosperity that the hu
man heart could wish for. To them
a big city seems to bo the great
starting place for all prosperous ca
reers. The Pity is that they do not
know the other side of this matter.
Where a large city contains a dozen
or two really prosperous men, there
are thousands who are on the verge
of desperation to make a decent liv
ing. City life among the workers is
a Herce and ceaseless grind that
soon gets to be nerve-racking. More
than fifty per cent of city dwellers
would m.nch prefer to live in the
country.
PEACE IS VERY MUCH WANTED
RULING AT ROCKPORT
AFTER A FIERCE FIGHT
Those Republicans who less than
four years ago expressed their out
raged feelings in the declaration
that Teddy Roosevelt was the worst
specimen of party-wrecker that ever
trod the earth ought to bo prepared
to swallow their political medicine.
Roosevelt will almost as certainly
be nominated as their candidate for
President as that the g. o. p. con
vention will meet In Chicago. And
furthermore he will be nominated
on his own personally dictated terms
ho other. So those Republicans
who a few months ago sworo they
would have no moro of Roosevelt
no, never! must get ready to swal
low not only his nomination hut
th.elr own erstwhile bitter denuncia
tion of him.
Rockport, Ky., April 10, (Spec
ial Last Friday evening about 8
o'clock, Leonard Anderson, Virgil
Anderson and Warner Kellcy met
Roy Oiler on Main street near Kcv
ll's store In Rockport, and after a
few words passed between Leonard
Anderson and Roy Oiler, they got
Into a scrap. After Oiler had knock
ed Leonard Anderson down, Ander
son got up and used a knife on Oi
ler, cutting a gash about 2 inches
long jUBt below the heart. Oiler was
then moved to Tom Decker's where
he died early this morning.
It Is difficult to get the particulars
in the case, as is usual in drunken
rows on the streets. It is under
stood this morning that the Ander
sons and Kelley have left town with
out giving out their destination.
All the parties Involved in this
matter are young men except Virgil
Anderson. Oiler's parents live in
Tennessee. Word was sent to them
and it Is supposed that the remains
will bo taken to the homo In Ten-s
nessee. Andersons and Kelley are
citizens of this town. Oiler Is said
to have been a peaceable, quiet, law
abiding young man.
CXEWS LAWS WILSON
AS CHURCH APPLAUDS
, Col, Roosevelt has outlined to a
few friends with a press represen
tative present, of course tho policy
upon which ho must bo nominated
for President or jio positively will
not accept. Hut pleaso benr In mind
thnt tho Colonel is not a candldato
for this nomination. No, slrco! Not
on your life! He's merely In a re
ceptive mood and wants to forestall
any proceeding which might not suit
him. Hut as to tho policy there
will be no pussy-footing on his part,
It must bo to tho Interest of tho
United States and therefore to tho
lntorest of tho Republican pnrty to
nomlnato him, tho platform muBt bo
anti-hyphen, &c &c. However, you
must not get It Into your head
that the Colonel Is a candidate.
Positively no!
Central City has a rather queer
ordinance In force In regard to sell
ing "soft drinks." Deilning "soft
drinks" as "any liquid mixture, bev
erage or decoction containing no al
cohol and possessing no Intoxicating

It says tho license to Bell same shall
be 510 per year. It says such li
cense shall bo revoked when the pos
sessor In found to nlso bo "In Pos
ro?Eion of a United States Special
Tax Stamp, commonly called United
States License, for carrying on tho
business of retail dealer in spiritu
ous, villous or malt liquors." Then
The New York World says:
Henry Clews, the banker, took
politics, Wall Street and tho war
with him into the Pari: Avenuo
Mqthodlst church jesterday morn
ing, In an address which was ap
plauded by the congregation, partic
ularly when Mr. Clews praised Pres
ident Wilson for keeping the coun
try out of the War.
Mr. Clows explained that he had
been a Republican nil his life, but
that ho heartily approved of Presi
dent Wilson's conduct of tho prob
lonis which had confronted him, and
of hla general policy.
"I would go to war myself," ho
snld, "If going to war would bring
back to life tho Americans who have
lost their lives through Germany's
conduct. Rut war would add a mil
lion or more to their number."
There Is plenty of material lying
around loose to make a political sit
uation in this country of tho first
magnitude.
There are three men around "which
it now centers the President, Jus
tice Hughes and Mr. Roosevelt. Tho
President will bo renominated at St.
Louis beyond doubt. But when he
gets that nomination the Republic
ans will have had their battle at
Chicago, and It will be reasonably
apparent whether they have thrown
nway tnelr ciiances or met the re
quirements of the occasion.
A great many Important Interests
arc closing nround Mr. Roosevelt as,
their favorite for Republican stand--
nrd bearer. With the exception of
Justice Hughes there is no man who
nppears able to combat him In the
Republican Convention. It Is an an
omaly In American politics. Candor
compels the statement that Mr.
Roosevelt will stand In the eyes of
many long-tried Republicans as tho
man who mado the election of Mr.
Wilson easy. He mado Mr. Taft
President in 1908 and repented of
his work. He mado Mr. Wilson
President In 1912 and repented of
his work. Ho said he ran Independ
ently In 1912 because tho Taft
convention, of which Mr. Root was
permanent Chairman, "stole"' the
delegates away from him. Hence
there is imuch which must be ex
plained. Tho whole Republican
campaign would have to be one of
explana'J'on and defense. That 10
the only trouble about Mr. Roose
velt's candidacy, although It might
be overcome.
The attitude of Justice Hughes, It
Is true, at this time makes for the
success of Mr. Roosevelt's aspira
tions. The Justice says ho is not, a
candidate. Assuredly he will not ac
cept a nomination which comes to
him ns the result of a bitter contest
at Chicago, although ho might ac
cept if the nomination came to him
unanimously.
Therefore, tic very fact of Mr1.
Roosevelt's going Into tho conven
tion would seem to rule Justice
Hughes out even more effectively
than ho has ru'ed himself out.
Mr. Roosevelt Is a very popular
American. Ho has a dash thnt ap
peals to the ndmlratlon even of his
political enemies. His very incon
sistencies are sometimes attractive.
He, too, changes his mind. His high
opinion of himself makes him some
times lovable, sometimes hateable.
Rut if he is going to "try" for this
nomination he cannot devote too
much time to tho revival of Repub
lican friendships. New York Herald.

"I want to enter my protest

"I see young women going down

humiliating to the modesty of hon

to dclilc anything that is, sacred.
"To say that I am ashamed of
such fashions of dress is speaking

After a careful investigation of all tractors oa the
market, we have decided to handle the Mogul 8-10.
Why? Because the Mogul 8-16 is the only tractor
of its size that we know of that works on low-grade
kerosene.
Tho price of gasoline is now at a point where it wor
ries the nation and there seems to be no relief in sight,
because the supply is not largo enough to meet the
demand.
This is just one reason why we prefer tho Mogul
8 16 to any other on the market.
Whether you believe the tractor is a good invest
ment or not, we want you to come in and see for your
