A Treat For Theatre Goers.

There is show coming to the Paris
Grand Opera House on Friday, Febru-
airy 18th, which should be witnessed by
every man, woman and child in Paris
and Bourbon county. 1t is 1.-The Volun-
teer Organist, and is by far the pref
test and best show of its kind on the
road. The dramatic critic of The New
York American we'll expressed it when
he said: Tine Volunteer Oragnist is
as pure and sweet as the waters of a
mountain brook" 1t teaches a power
full temperance lesson it teaches the
value Of kindness to dumb animals. It's
scenic settings are novel and beautiful.
And with all its serious scenes it still
is one of the funniest plays on the
road.
Master Willie Nelson, the worlds
greatest boy soprano singer, from
Grace Church choir, New York City,

Now remember, the Bourbon News
tells you that this is a show we'll worth
your attending. Don't have it to say
after it has gone that you are sorry you
did not attend.

It is interesting to look over the files

mother of Mr.. Louie Saloshin. Mr..
John r. Crosthwaite.
Matrimonial: Mr.. William Bruce
Miller to Miss Jessie M. Hughes.

Number of convicts per 1000, 1000 of

Crime increased per cent. in Iowa
and per cent. in Kansas in this de-
cade, during half of which prohibition
was in operation.
The reports of the Auditors OF all
the counties in Iowa for each year
from 1882 to 1886, rendered authorita-
tive by the seal of the Secretary of
State, himself a prohibitionist, show
that the number of convictions in that
State not only did not decrease under
prohibition, but that there was an
actual and serious increase in crime.
Prior to July 4, 1884, prohibition was
not enforced in iowa. On that date
the stringent statutes went into effect.
The result as shown by the reports was
a growth in the number of criminals
sentenced, with a corresponding in
crease in the cost to the State of crimi-
nal prosecutions. Not only did the per-
centage of crime increase under prohl-
bltlOn, but the character of the OtfenSeS
became more degraded and serious.
During the two years and half prior
to the date the law took effect 8l8 per-
SONS were sentenced to the peniten-
tiary. Within the same period after
the law became operative 917 cOnvlctS
were consigned to that institution.
Under prohibition the Auditor report
shows an increase of &c per cent. in
crimes growing out of the relations of
the sexes, while crime against proper
ty, such as theft, burglary, fraud, ETC.,
became per cent. more frequent. The
total number of murders, assaults, etc,
under the last two years and half
prior to the enactment of the law, and
the first two years and half of prOhi-
bition are practically the same, being
431 and APT, respectively.
Polk county, in which is the city of
Des Moines, was prohibition strong
hold. In 1882, with sixty saloons.
there were twenty-siX convicted for
crime. In 1856, under prohibition.
ninety-one persons were convicted.
Twenty-four of these were for infrac-
tion of the prohibitory law The re-
naming sixty-seven more than two
and half times as many as IN 1852
were for miscellaneous crimes. The
cost of criminal prosecution TO the
people was less than $50, Coo in 1882.
In 1886 it had doubled.
In Kansas, also, the character of the
crimes for which convictions were had
become more degraded, as appears from
the following table taken from the re-
ports of the Warden of the State Peni-
Tertiary:
Convictions for Two Years Ending June

CLERGYMAN'S

The Rev. Henry C. Kinney, rector
of Holy Trinity Church, Chicago, writ

says:

120 cities of the United States, the
number of saloons to the population Of
each, the number of arrests for drunk
enness and for crime, and am prepar-
ed to say that the arrests made in
these cities have no relation to the
number of saloons in them,

PROHIBITION A NURSE OF CRIME

PROHIBITION A NURSE OF CRIME
Artificial offenses and meddlesome
legislation and that felt to be unjust,
are indeed causes of crime of which
the philosophical educator cannot afford
to be ignorant. Artificial offenses put
a large class of people, and often that
of the least discriminating and in
structed, into needless antag onism with
the law. Confounding of moral dis
tinctions on the side of the law begets
a corresponding confusion in the mind
of the citizen. If the law treats the
sale of a mug of beer or sweet cider as
of like delinquency with the crime of
larceny. how long will it take the hum
BILE and unlearned to conclude that the
law is either a sham, unworthy of
veneration, or else jump to the con-
verse of the first proposition and vote
larceny of an article to be no worse
than the selling of the beer or the
cider? So, therefore, every statue de-
nouncing the penalties of the criminal
law against men in violation of the
commonly received sense of justice,
concerning human relations in the civil
state, becomes by reason of that very
excess a generator of evil. The laws
under which men are punishable can
have no moral value unless the appeal
can also be made to the consciences of
men, challenging them boldly to the
confession of the Apostle. Wherefore
the law is holy, and commandment holy
and just and good. "-Ex-Gov.A Andrews,
of Massachusetts.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1907-03-08

This, like all other claims of the ad-
vocates of local option, falls to the
ground when tested by facts. figures
and the experience of others. No
theory which is founded on the false
assumption than man can be saved or
made temperate by the force OF law,
can be sustained by argument. Local
option-an its twin brother, prohibi-
tion-is an admitted failure in every
city where it has ever been tried. The
following question, based, not upon
hypothesis, but upon the actual expert
ence of other, and upon facts and
figures which cannot be disputed, is
submitted to the earnest, sincere people
of this city, who wish at all times to
do that which is best. If local option
does not prevent drunkenness or the
sale OF whisky, does not decrease crime
or improve the business or the morals
of a community, why should such a
law be adopted by the City of Paris in
place of existing laws under which the
sale of liquor not only can be, but is
now, properly regulated?

HILL AND WATERWAYS.

James j. Hill at recent meeting of
the inland waterways commission made
this statement
Traffic is growing five times as fast
as the facilities of railways for NOV
ing it. To deepen the Mississippi Will
do more good in this country than a
dozen Panama canals. The quickest
and best relief the country can get
is to improve the Mississippi river.
Every day of delay costs more and
more money to the men who are on
the land, the men who are tilling the
soil in these states tributary to the
river, If the river is deepened so that
traffic can move from st. Paul to it's
mouth, business will come to st. Paul
1 should think that proper river chan
nels and a dependable depth of water
from Saint Paul would mean the car
rying of grain from Saint Paul to the
mouth of the river at from seven and
a half to eight cents, and one can
easily see what saving that would be
to the growers of grain. Think what
an advantage that would be to every
man living in the Mississippi vallay."

WOMAN's VIEW OF ZONE

Miss Gertrude Beeks, secretary OF
the Welfare Department of the Ma
tional Civic Federation, who has been
investigating labor conditions on the
Isthmus of Panama, has made public
the report which she submitted to
Secretary Taft. Some of her recon-
mendations already have been adopted
She has been asked by President Roose-
welt, she says, to return to Panama
within eight months to make a supple
mental report. Bliss Beeks spent more
than twenty three days on the island
She found many things to commend
and also many that called forth ad-
verse criticism. The inspection cover
ed camps, barracks, hospitals, mess
halls, schools, clubhouses, commissaries,
jails. churches, work places and trans
portation facilities. Conditions of en-
ployment were also investigated. In
formation was gathered from officials,
superintendents, foremen, mechanics,
clerks, nurses, doctorsf secretaries of
the Young Mems Christian association,
railroad engineers and conductors, their
wives and children, and, in fact, every
type of resident on the isthmus, the
negroes included. But in no case was
testimony sought or received from dis
charged employees.
Complaints in regard to inadequate
quarters and poor and insufficient food
supplies she found in many instances
warranted and the servant question
is there, as in other places, an almost
hopeless problem. Secretary Taft has
requested the agricultural department
to start government farm, and made
arrangements with Secretary Wilson to
have all foodstuffs inspected before
shipment from the United States. He
also authorized the purchase of blankets
for the negroes and refrigeration plants
for mess halls.
