rgigIed whisky us the most guilty fac
tor in the tragic feuds Of the Blue
Grass State He said:
''The first great step toward the stop
ping OF lawless deeds has been taken
by the mountain people in prohibiting
the sale of whisky. Kentucky has a
good local option law, and this law has
been adopted In nearly every mountain
county The saloon Is not tolerated.

shine stills, while numerous, are inter-
mittent and under the ban Of mountain
sentiment-not at all because they vlo-

of the community. People expect
run of whisky at election time, at
Christmas time and on the occasion of
any large gathering. Some sorry fell
low puts up his still to make little
ready money and to have good time
He is sure Of two classes of customers
the old boys who have settled down
to sober life, but who love to break its
monotony by an occasional drinking
bout. and the younger boys. who take
hold for the sake of excitement. But
the driving out Of the open saloon has
of itself increased the safety Of life 100
per cent throughout the region. and the
outbreak of feuds IL everywhere coin
cident with the outbreak of whisky. 1t
was when the local option law was re-
pealed in Clay county. after years Of
quiet. that Il new reign Of terror came
on. This temperance movement on the
part of the mountain people is one of
the most noble and pathetic efforts
ever put forth by a great population
for the uplift Of morality and law"
