Conaressninn Mr Jno AY Lnujjley in the following manner The distinguished statesman who represents the Tenth KenI tucky district in Congress prophesies the early enactment of his bill to add 40000000 annually to the pensions now beinir paid out hII grateful Government If his prophecy is confirmed no individual und the descendant of no individual so geographically fortunate as to live north of Mason and Dixons line in the prior between 1SC1G5 need suffer want I Under the bill any Federal soldier who served ninety days whether he saw active service or not is entitled to a pension ranging from clo to S3G a month provided he has reached the ate of sixty TIlljtotnlThe measure which Mr Langley is so hopeful of seeing passed would bring the total up to 202000000 annually The war ended fortyfive years ago That any deserving sol dier has failed in that length of time to receive full financial recom pense for disability resultant from service in that war or that his family in the case of his death has been denied liberal aid is inconceivable That the pension roll is crowded with fakes and impostors is an open scandal of years standing Mr Langley proposes to mlle this scandal worse by adding forty millions a year to the graft fund by which the advocates of a protective tariff have nnnngod to keep it at war figures through the aid of a standing army of pensioners The Langley scheme like all others of its kind is a scheme not for the I benefit of the survivors of the army that was mustered out almost half a century ago but to till up the ranks of mercenaries who can be countedon to vote the Republican ticket as long us the country can be lade to pay them for it The Democratic party is preparing to smite the protective arid hip and thigh It can make no better beginning than with Mr anglers pension bill which is the hip hooray part of the tariff iniquity THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW The old year is now past historythe new a reality The past year brought prosperity and happiness to many and sorrow to not a few LitfCthe average run of humanity we have had our share o each but in summing it up we could not help regretting that we were compelled to part company with 1910 yet we welcome the new year with its bright prospects its increased opportunities and iits great unknown future We are optimistic enough to believe it hasi much in store for mankind In our feeble way we can accomplish hut little at best but the Heeling moments linger with us long enoughI for us to do good if we will and thus make the community better by haying had us in itns citizens Every reader and friend began the new year with our sincere gratitude for past favors and with our earnest hope that 1911 may contain 365 days of unlimited joy and success for one and all

world where an eminent specialist had the opportunities that were presented to one in Lont don realizing this fact Dr Barker l after graduating from Heidelburg located in London His practice grew so rapidly that at the endof live years he established the largt cst uractice of any physician in that city His practice was CQnC lined to chronic cases only in the treatment of rheumatism catarrh kidney and bladder diseases He usedone neverfailing prescrip tionthis same prescription he had written thousands of timese and he had seen patients come into his oflice on crutches who said they had been troubled with rheu matism for 15 or 20 years andI after they used this special pre scription for two or three days they would come walking to his office as nimbly as a school boy and thank him for the good he had done them The Doctor said in 1 an interview that one man about 45 years old came to him one day and said ho had been injured while working at the carpenter trade 1 about twenty years before and had suffered constantly since with kidney trouble He had tried everything to get relief but noth ing seemed to do him any good He asked the Doctor if he really knew of anything that would do him any good and he told him of I a neverfailing remedy for nil chronic cases like his He wrote him a prescription and told him to take it a week and then come undt let him know how he was getting along This torn came back to 1 his office in just four days undii said he had not felt as well in hisl life He also stated that his daughter whom he had taken outt of school because her eyes were too weak to studnnd she could 5 hardly see from one of them at all she had been treated by four eye specialists without relief and after he had taken this prescription for two days he says he saw I it was helping him so much he letI ltier take some of it and to their gteat surprise she improved wonderfully almost from thefirst dose He told him that it was onha weeks time after she commenced to take the medicine untilshe could see as well as ever and wusII ibje to return to schooltt It vas not until after hundreds of such remarkable cases had been treated by Dr Barker with this souse prescription that he was prevailed upon in the interest of hu manity to allow the wonderful 4 prescription to be put up so that every sufferer could have itat a very small cost The public can now secure this

calling a primary to select the nominees for State offices seems to us to be a wise decision The people are beginning to demand fair play in politics as in business matters and the fairest way that political party can select its nominees is by a fairly conducted primary election Under a primary election the rank and file of the party dictate who the nominees shall be while in conventions the nominees are selected by political bosses or tricksters We have never seen it fail that when a candidate felt solid with the masses of the party he was anxious to submit his chances in a primary On the other handwe have noticed that the oflice seeker who felt a little shaky about his standing with the rank and file of the party always insisted on a convention always excusing his po sition on the ground that it was the II cheapest way Gentlemen of the Committee in behalf of the rank and file of Scott county Democrats we con gratulate you on your action Georgetown News A lazy liver liver leads

class of women have smoked for years Now the of fense is extending upward TIm cafe proprietors and even some managers of respectable hotels have openly recognized the women smokers In those garish restaurants along Broadway with in the regions of the Tenderloin where the aftertheater suppers and drinks are kept up to all hours the actresses chorus girls and such women as like to travel with

smoke in the main diningroom at nil The new Ritz Carlton Hotel has no hesitation in letting the public know its attitude Women are permitted to smoke in the res taurants and parlors if they so I

GOOD WORD FOR WOODPECKER Washington is the first state so far as we are advised to take official note of the virtues of the woodpeck proIt is said the state leas adopted his picture as the state emblem giving him the position of honor as the original conservationist In other words the state of Washington has found that the woodpecker is an invaluable aid in conserving tree life His diet is those insects which are most injurious to trees He does not even ask a bud or kernel that is of value to mankind He destroys nothing that is of assistance to the human race All this talk about the woodpecker destroying the telegraph and telephone poles is the silliest nonsense It is like a lot of things that gossip says about people Those who voice such sentiments are the real knockers and that leads us to emphasizel the fact that n ttllt woodpecker is something of a knocker himself that isnj why Washington is making him the state birdJoliet Journal HIS INFANT INDUSTRIES The Senior SenatorI

The first universities of Europe created the office of doctor of laws and licensed lawyers not on the idea that they would increase the troubles of mankind but would lessen them would untangle the threads of the just and unjust cause and make straight the crooked paths of the law EO that the sons of men wot d know how to walk a chalk blazed line through the devious mazes of the right and wrong

with Oriental and annual poppies candidum lilies canterbury hells and plants of that description If perennials are planted too thickly they do not grow so well and so it is a good idea to put in fillers annuals that bloom continuously and do not throw deep roots such as nas turtiums Japanese mallows annual coreopsis etc A second crop of an nual poppies can be grown from the seed pods of the
