The writer spent Tuesday and Wednes.
day in Powell county. The most thrill
ing experience heard of was that of a
bride and groom who were robbed In
Cincinnati. and walked to Winchester.
(see page y.
Judge Benton on Monday gave very
earnest instructions to the grand jury
especially looking to the entire prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic. He said that
this "consummation devoutly to be
wished" rested with the citizens jurors
of the county.
SofAe months ago local option carried
in Powell county. The license of one
saloon in Stanton has expired and the
place was closed. Early in December
the other and those of Clay City will
expire. OF course the advocates of
peace, order and sobriety will expect
that whisky dealers and drinkers will
attempt to evade the law-drinking to
their own curse, destruction of body and
soul in he'll; selling to their dishonor and
condemnation for being the tempters of
weak men.
There is involved in this more than
obtaining money, or the violation of law.
The conviction is forced upon us that If a
saloon keeper, lawyer or editor, etc,
by his conduct or business sends another
soul in the ways that lead through pow
erty, shame, dishonor and debauch to
hell, that saloon keeper, ETC., will have
warm reception in that abode of the
doomed, (unless he repents and turns to
God).
Ii is the business of the people of
Powell to see that the law is rigidly en-
forced
Yes, your duty may prompt you to tell
on neighbor some good fellow Well,
tell il and have that neighbor quit the |
sneaking business of "boot-legging,
"blind tigering." Create better senti-
ment, a higher moral tone in your
neighborhood. Say, fathers and mothers,
are you rearing daughters to be cuffed
about, whipped and degraded by young
chaps who ''think it big to get drunk
Rearing daughters is correct-the thing,
because God has so decreed; but to wink
At, permit or create the conditions which
transform those daughters into wives o.
drunkards is the perfection of folly and
} dishonor in the sight Of men who have
regard for for the divinity within them.

Five of Powell county's sons have
been killed during the administration of
your present Circuit Judge, ]. M. Benton.
In each case either one or both of the
parties has been drunk. In private
talk with the Judge he so declared. Is
not this an object lesson sufficiently per-
suasive?
In thus plainly speaking we are not
singing out Powell county. Let this
apply wherever the Advocate is read.
There is not much litigation in Powell.

FORTUNE IN CEMENT.
About I8 months ago J. c. Patrick
moved from Breathitt county to Stanton
and bought for $4,000 farm of about
AIS acres bordering along the railroad
for about mile and half and extended
from the depot towards Rosslyn, includ-
ing the mountain capped with limestone
A stratum of clay I6 feet a inches
thick, covers at least 22o acres, and near
the railroad the earth covering this is
in places about a inches thick This
clay with the limestone makes a very
fine cement, said to equal Portland ce-
ment. Kentucky State genologist has J
pronounced it fine. At the Ohio State
University samples of clay and stone
we're converted into cement. The test |
lost $Ioo. On Monday representative
IF capitalists was there to examine the
and was to return on Saturday.
The talk was that he has an option on
bis tract and 43 acres of limestone near
Slencairn, at the price of 100000. Mr..
Patrick gave the writer-not a big block
# stock in the property, but sample of
he cement made at the Ohio State Uni
ersity. If this deal goes through,
Stanton will boom.

While this has been the greatest Suit season
in the stores history our line is still in pretty
fair shape. Many lines have been entirely

a FOUR YEAR TERM.
EFFORT TO ELECT COUNTY OFF,
GERS FOR FOUR YEARS.

GERS FOR FOUR YEARS.
County Auditor Train has received
q letter fronrSenator Titus, of Mus
~catine, and author of the amendment
for biennial elections, asking him to
present the question of fOur-year
terms, for county officers to the board
of supervisors at their September
meeting. Under the present law, all
county officers, all state officers as well
as members of congress will be elected
next fall. The thought of the Sena-
tors letter is that it would not be a
good plan to elect all county officers
the same year and in order to avoid
it a four-year term will be necessary.
The adoption of the amendment has
extended for one year the term of the
sheriff, the treasurer, the superintend-
ent and the surveyor. In order to
get the machinery in order for a term
of four years it would be necessary to
extend the terms of one half the county
officers for two years in which case
! the auditor, the clerk, the recorder
and the attorney would probably be
the recipients of legislative favor.
This is a matter in which all the peo-
pie are interested and because of the
early publicity given they will have a
chance to express themselves before
the next meeting of the Legislature.
Senator Titus says:
Now that the biennial elections have
been fully established in the state, |
am interested in having the citizens
of Iowa satisfied with the change.
In order to perfect the biennial
plan it appears to me that the term OF
Office of county and township officers
should be made four years, electing
one half at the biennial period and
the other half at the next. This will
materially decrease the ballot, which
will be very large next year, and pre-
vent a complete change of county and
township officers at one time. To Sc
lect a dozen officers from the state OF
Iowa is a different proposition from
choosing them from the limited territory
contained within a county. 1t is pre-
dicted by some that this will create
too much competition Tor nominations,
and that the efficiency of the candi.
dates will be lost sight of in the desire
to satisfy the different localities.
The change to the four-year term
can be made by the general assembly
that meets next January. | am salts,
fed II there is a general demand for
this modification the members of the
legislature will make the change.
In studying over the best plan to
inaugurate the movement in this di'
rection, l decided to write the county
auditors of Iowa asking them to pre-
sent the matter to the September meet
ing of the board of supervisors. Il

The Monroe Doctrine.

The president is not forgetting to
keep the Monroe doctrine in mind and
to present it to the public with such
frequency that they will not forget it
either. When we say people we mean
not only our own citizens but also
those in Europe, who need to be re-
minded once in awhile that they must
keep hands Off the countries of America
so far as any aggressive movement is
concerned. In a recent address Presi-
dent Roosevelt in speaking of this
doctrine says: ''It forbids the terri
torial encrOachment of non-American
powers on American soil. Its pur-
pose is partly to secure this nation
against seeing great military powers
obtain new footholds in the western
hemisphere, and partly to secure to
our fellow-republics south of US the
chance to develop along their own
lines without being oppressed or con-
quered by non-American powers. AS
we have grown more and more power
full our advocacy of this doctrine has
been received with more and more re-
spect; but what has tended most to
give the doctrine standing among the
nations is our growing willingness to
show that we not only mean what we
say and are prepared to back it up,
but that WI mean to recognize our OBJ,
legations to foreign peoples no less
than 20 insist upon our W rights,
and further that we cannot permantly
adhere to the Monroe doctrine unless
we succeed in making it evident in the
first place that we do not intend to
treat it in any shape OF way as ar
excuse for ACKNOWLEDGMENT on our
part at the expense of the republics to
the south of us. That is, we do mol
intend to permit it to be used by any
of these republics as a shield to pro
tect that republic from the consequent
es of its OWE misdeeds against foreign
nations

the 18th of October. Mr.. Conger has

a member of congress, as treasurer OF

Americans have a right to feel proud,

Good Roads in Carroll County.

1t is a pleasure to ride over the
roads that are kept smooth and In
fine condition by the wise use of the
King drag, as used by such men as A.
Harris, o. s. Sleggle, VIM. Hayner,
S. A. Barber, w. S. Paxton, NJ.
Trullinger, p. Welsh, VIM. Campbell,
John Davis, Jacob Bell, Alex Tuel's
boys, L. Conner, Simon Bergan and
r. p. Shawl. Simon Bergan has al
ready made good road along his farm
with his drag. Mr.. Shawd has also
crowned up a half mile of grade in
good shape. If all that have taken
drags out will use them as the above
named persons, we all might have nice
smooth roads. Harper Bailey and
James Smith have also done fine
work. This is the observation of A,
G. Steele, who has already furnished
thirty drags. At the coming farmers
institute the good roads question will
no doubt be one OF the most interest
ing ones discussed.-Coon Rapids En-.

of winter wheat grown by him which
tested over sixty pounds and yielded
by machine measure thirty-one and
one-fourth bushels per acre. He did
not have enough grain to fill the test
ing a but had enough weight
for a sixty pound test, and Geo. Ar,
mold who tested it estimated that II
the measure had been full the test
would have been at least sixty-three
pounds. The wheat is of the red tur.

that he has raised it for thirteen year:
