VEB. JULY 9, 1913.
The fiftieth anniversary of the
battle of Gettysburg has passed,
and the many who assembled
there to review that awful trag
edy, and to extol the bravery
displayed, are now back at their
old homes. It was the largest
gathering of old soldiers that
ever assembled in this country
on an occasion of that kind, and
from published reports the
speeches made tingled with
praise for the valor of those who
"v.
participated in the meeting fifty
years ago. Those who wore the
blue and those who donned the
gray measured up to the highest
point of courtesy and good will
for the- participants of both
sides, and showed, beyond ques
tion, that war issues no longer
divided our people or arrayed
section against section. The
dominant spirit manifested an
united country in sentiment, in
business and future greatness.
The first meeting at Gettysburg
was a crushing defeat for those
who fought against Federal pow
er, arid the Federal victory was
the most costly of any engage
ment in the history of the war.
The second meeting was a victo
ry for both sides and showed the
magnanimity fathered by true
courage and nobleness of heart.
Good generalship, sincerity of
purpose and undaunted courage
heroically displayed, is now ad
initied by both sides to have
been the features of that costly
conflict. But those days, thank
God, have passed; those fearful
times have flown. That period,
dreadful and destructive, is only
a monument to American cour
age. No more will the tocsin of
war be heard in civil conflict, no
more will our country engage in
sectional destruction. Bound
together by common interests,
united in the spirit of advance
ment; cemented into one solid
government by the blood of that
awful struggle, civil war will be
no more. Our country, greatest
of all in resources, is bounding
forward on substantial footing.
We pride in the valor of those
who wore the blue and the gray
alike. We accept the verdict as
a wise solution of conditions that
could not have been rendered in
a civil manner. The old soldiers
no longer linger in the realm of
bitterness, but pride in good will
ana respect ior tnose wno op
posed them on the fields of bat
tle, and in reality we have, at
last, a country united. It's a
happy condition, and points to a
solid future as truly al a solid
present.
The Court of Appeals, in an
opinion handed down by Judge
Carroll, reversed the decision of
the Whitley circuit court in the
case wherein the Adams ExpieJ33
company was fined for carrying
a shipment of liquor into dry
territory. The court holds the
'Kentucky statute is constitution
al and operative where it can be
shown that the liquor is to be
.sold or. .used in violation of the
State "law, but is inoperative
where it is delivered for the per
sonaland private use of an indi
vidual. A CARD.

paign, doing my utmost to ad
vance the interest of the party

that I can'winlatthe final elec
tion, and I appeal to my friends
to be atjthe pollson August 2d
and'vote forjmy nomination. If

me, I will consider it a great fa
vor, and besides I will ever feel

Income Tax.
The income tax is popularly ex
pected to apply to only those who
have incomes above the limita
tion fixed by the law. This ex
pectation may not be realized.
There are already indications
that it will apply to the poorest
and humblest citizen not di
rectly but indirectly. This is
how the law may apply:
The real estate owner whose
income exceeds the legal limita
tion cannot be prohibited from
raising rents and thus compell
ing his tenants to pay the tax..
The producer of the necessaries
of life, the wholesaler of such
commodities, and the retailer
who fall under the law, can also
increase prices to consumers and
thus collect from them the tax
they have to pay. The dealer in
any commodity who may b e
amenable to the law can do the
same thing.
On the other hand, the man
whose income does not exceed
the legal limitation may nor on
ly indirectly pay income tax as
above, but directly on the divi
dends of his insurance policy and
other little investments that he
may have. He may also pay
the tax on any indebtedness
that he may have, which is a
source of income for someone
else. Further, he may be doub
ly taxed for the same thing, in
one instance indirectly, in the
other directly.
All this appears from the oper
ations of the income tax laws of
other countries, whose experi
ence is that the burden finally
rests upon the poor. If this
should prove to he the case, the
law will have to be greatly
changed if it accomplish what is
intended taxation in proportion
to ability to pay.
Vote For Best Qualified Men.
The News never takes part in
the contest of the county for the
various county offices, but it is
nevertheless interested in seeing
the best qualified men chosen so
that the county may secure the
most "intelligent service in the
management of all its affairs.
In all the walks of life where
men are engaged for any kind
of service character and ef
ficiency are requisites. The
most efficient men employed, in
banks and stores and factories
command the highest salaries
and inefficient man or men who
are not trustworthy hardly ever
succeed in securing good posi
tions and invariably lose them
when better qualified men can
be secured. The discharge of
public duties is as important as
the discharge of private ones.
An office holder is a public
servant and he is employed by
the voters of the people to per
form specific duties and the one
question for the voter to consid
er is the test made by Jefferson
'is he capable, is he honest?"
Nothing else should be considered
No incapable man or unreliable
man should be voted for, no
matter how good a hand shaker
he is or how entertaining. Be
ing a good fellow does not quali
fy any man for office and should
not be considered unless all the
other qualities are combined
with it. The Democratic voters
of Hardin county are intelligent
enough and discrim i n a ti n g
enough to pick out out the best
qualified men in intelligence and
in character to serve them. We
advise them when they go to
vote on August the 2nd to con
sider every candidate only from
the standpoint of fitness for the
position to tvhich he aspires.
