Votes For Kentucky Women Active Cam
paign For Constitutional Amendment
Now On Headquarters Open In Lex.
lngton And Field Organizer
F, Engaged.

A campaign is on to obtain the full
suffrage for omen in Kentucky. A
bill will be presented in the next legis-
lature authorizing the submission of a
constitutional amendment to the peo-
pie at the election of November, 1915.
Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, of Lex
ington. is the new president of the
Kentucky Equal Rights Association.
Mr.. Urey Estes, formerly with the
University Press of Chicago, has ar
rived to take up the work or organic
ing the sympathizers with women suf-
frage, and active work over the State
will begin at once. This organization
will include mems leagues for suffrage,
as we'll as women's leagues. Since the
matter is political, and must be de-
termined by the legislature and the
voters, it is important to organize the
sympathizers in that sex which has not
the handicap of Acknowledgement.
Any local league or any individuals
wanting Mr.. Estes services, or other
help from headquarters, may apply to
the address mentioned above.

When Lincoln with his far seeing eye
spoke at Gettysburg and prayed that
there might be preserved for US "a
Government of the people, by the
people and for the people, he meant a
Government under the vel regulated
system established by the constitution
of the United States at that time and
before any of these new tangled
amendments had been heard of. There
are proposed amendments to the
Constitution without number, and also
efforts to undermine and get behind the
Constitution, and to brush aside the
safeguards which it contains.
In celebrating Llncoln's birthday
nothing could be more fitting than talks
on good government. Children should
be taught good government, first in the
home, the school and the town, which
will make of him later a good citizen in
the state. If children are taught to
obey and order and tie power of
authority and that authority should be
placed in the hands of such people as
we are willing to obey; then truly shall
we have a government ''of the people
by the people and for the people,.

City government, in the long run,
under whatever form it takes, will be
just as good, and no better than, the
people who take an interest in public
affairs want to make it. 1t is a mon
strous delusion that you can secure
good government by creating trium-
virate, giving them absolute authority.
A city government for the people and
by the people is what we want. Public
servants who do not regard public SER
vice as private snap. We want men
both capable and conscientious. II
may seem a rare combination, but there
are such men.

Poor old Mexico is in the throes of
another uprising and considerable blood
has been shed. The insurgents are
being led by nephew of Elk President
Diaz, he being released by them from
prison where he was under a death
sentence. The place was assaulted and
President Madero was compelled to
seek temporary shelter elsewhere,
however Madero. claims to be able to
cope with the situation, but it looks
very much to an outsider as if the
elder Diaz, the 'Iron Man" would be
recalled and would again rule Mexico.
With the Balkan situation becoming
more and more complicated every day,
and threatening to involve many other
European powers in the embroglio, an
uprising in Nicaragua and the usual
number of South American uprisings
in progress, it looks very much as if
the Biblical prediction of WARS and
rumors of wars" was being fulfilled.

Resurrect The Commercial Club.

Town growth is science and there
are recognized ways to promote it. a
committee of active men representing
an organization should work at it, all
the time. They should get definite
facts as to how gains were made by
towns that we know have grown, and
see if these same methods won't WORK
here.
While any town as tavorably situated
and with as many resources as ours
should make some growth of its
own impetus, still much larger
advantage can be secured by careful
planning through which a business
enterprise is pushed. Nothing moves
unless some one pushes it and pushe S
in an intelligent way, giving the best
information of successful methods used
elsewhere.
Why not organize commercial club
at once?

The Ingratitude Of Man.

A group of politicians. including Of
flee holders, ex Office holders and would
be-office holders We're recently gather
ed around hot stove in one of the
rooms at the court house, discussing
the topics of the day and incidentally
the ups and downs of political life,
when one of the number, knowing old
wiseacre who many years ago held an
appointive Office of no mean pretertions
and one which proved very lucrative to
him was berating the unkind fate
which ousted him from his comfortable
berth One of the number asked the
gentleman who was occupying the floor
who ousted him from the office; with a
ready glibness he enumerated the men
who participated in his downfall, and
began a severe TRADE against them.
After allowing him to finish his scath-
ing denunciation, the same gentleman
propounded the question 'who put you
into this Office which you so reluctantly
surrendered? The speaker was nom
plused, he had never considered that
phase of the question, he scrathed his
head and stammered, but failed to give
an intelligent answer to the question.
The ludicrous side of the situation APP
pealed strongly to the crowd assembled
and they INDUCED in hearty laugh at
the expense of the old gentleman.
The above incident serves the pur-
pose Of showing very plainly the in
gratitude of man; man is once elected
to Office, and he thinks in nine cases
out of ten that he should be allowed to
stay there as long as he chooses; helos-
es sight of the fact that the people put
him there, and resents their privilege
of removing him. His long tenure in
Office divests him of the gratitude
which he should, and doubtless at one
time did, feel to the people who elected
him. and his removal from the office
which he had held often times not only
serves to embitter him against those
who sought to and did encompass his
defeat, but against the world in gener-
sl.

The Loose Leaf Warehouse.

The proposition to build loose leaf
tobacco warehouse in Lancaster has By
no means been abandoned. Upon the
contrary it is being pushed with great
energy and with good success. Quite i
tidy sum has already been raised AMI
subscriptions are being solicited over
the country. The assistance of the
farmer and the tobacco grower is earn
estly solicited in this matter, They
will reap the greatest benefit from its
establishment, not all the benefit it is
true, but the greatest. because of the
fact that it will provide them a home
market and obviate the necessity of the
long, tiresome and expensive hauls to
neighboring towns. and for this reason
they should subscribe literally for the
stock. The merchants and business
men of the town will of course benefit
from the establishment of this market
here, and they can be relied upon to do
their part, in fact they stand ready at
any time to do even more than their
part, but it is their desire that the far
mer show his inclination toward the
scheme by rendering financial assistance,
before they go in too heavily. and for
this reason, and in order to stimulate
the town people to hearty cooperation,
the farmers should come forward and
subscribe for stock in the proposed
enterprise. An investment just at this
time in stock in a loose leaf tobacco
market in Lancaster is a profitable in
yestment, and the man who takes stock
may reasonably expect shandsome pro-
fit to accrue from that investment, and
every farmer who is able to do 80, and
fails, is standing in his own light, not
only in allowing good investment to
slip by him, but in retarding the pro-
gress of his home county and failing to
foster the establishment. which would
be of more benefit to him than to any
other class of our citizens.
1t is desired to place every dollar pos
sible of this stock in the hands of the
farmer. thereby creating county wide
interest in the institution, therefore

Fish And Game Club For Garrard County
A Necessity.

1t has been observed that the counties
which organized Fish and Game clubs
have reaped the most benefit under
the recently enacted Fish and Game
law. Garrard county which is travers-
ed dramatically by the best fish stream
in Kentucky, has no such club, and in
consequence, unless something is done
along that line before the coming OF
spring, this county will become a Nee
ca for seiners and others who have
been accustomed to take fish illegally,
and will feel much more secure in the
pursuit OF their nefarious practises be-
cause of the nOn-existence of such a
body in the county.
Before the coming of the spring
spawning, such club should be or
gained for the protection of the fish.
The sportsmen about town are perfect
ly willing to organize but such a move
would be uselessunless the cooperation
couldbe secured of the farmers who own
the land along. the river. If club could
be organized, counting these farmers
among its number having annual dues
which in the aggregate would be suffi-
Gent to secure the services for the
part of the year of an efficient Game
Warden, then and then only could the
fish in our river be protected from the
ravages Of Illicit fishermen. The dues
would be nominal and would work q
hardship upon no one, and the sum
thus realized would be amply sufficient
to employ some good man who would
perform his duties efficiently, and the
amount of the fines collected, a part of
which he would receive, would work
the double purpose of helping out with
the expenses and determining the ma
RAIDERS from arepetition of the offense.
This matter should be taken up and
club organized without further de-
lay. Who will take the initiative? All
that is lacking is a leader, there will
be no lack of following.

The "Pinhooker"

Webster fails to give the above word
or a definition therefor, but in the
parlance of the tobacco market the
term is applied to men who buy tobae-
co for the purpose of speculation. In
the usual application of the word the
pinhooker is man we'll versed in the
tone of the market, as well as an es-
pecially good judge of the quality of
tobacco, but of late in this county some
have been ''p knocking" who either
lacked these necessary qualifications,
or over shot the mark, least ways, a
good many of them have quit, sadder
but wiser men.
The pinhooker in order to make a
success of his vocation, must by dint
of his superior knowledge of the weed
be able to judge at a glance the quality
of crop and to tell just how much
that crop will bring on the open mar
ket, and guage his bids accordingly.
Most Of these men prefer to buy when
the commodity is low, but during the
prevalence of the recent high prices,
"fools rushed in where angels fear to
tread, and they gained by experience
what they failed to know by intuition.
Another necessary fact which many of
the embryo pinhookers overlooked was
the fact that Uncle Sam requires every
man or firm who handles tobacco to Sc
cure license. This license costs you
nothing and very little labor save the
keeping of register and making semi
annual reports of what you handle. An
application for license may be had by
writing to the Collector of Internal
Revenue at Danville KY, and your
failure to secure license may. involve you
in no end of trouble. as well as subject
you to a fine of fifty dollars. tits useless
to take up the idea that one is not nee
essary for the buying and selling of
one crop. for the government keeps
close and accurate tab on every grower,
checks up the sales at the warehouses,
and if you handle even one crop with
out first having observed the formality
of securing license, you are sure to
be caught in the tolls.
