THE INCENTIVE OF WAR
THE FORCE BEHIND 1T

Speaking on the subject of war,
before the Washington Peace socie-
ty, Saturday, May Is, Mr.. Bryan
said:
WAR is in the interest of a few
people, not of ell. The profits are
garnered by few, while the masses
pay the taxes. A few men gain
glory, while the mothers of the ma
ton furnish the sons who make
food for battlefields.
Back of much of the Jurors for
war is a selfish interest in the man.
ufacture Of battleships. There are
men so unpatriotic that they try to
stir up trouble in another country
against their own so as to make
personal profit therefrom.

criminate between patriotic news
papers and those that seek only for
big headlines"

BRYAN pROCuA|MS THE
ELECTIONS AMENDMENT
Successful Outcome Of a Move.
ment Started Eighty.
Seven Years Ago.

Washington, May 31.-In the
the presence of a notable company,
including many legislators who had
to do with its adoption, Secretary
Bryan to-day signed the formal an
nouncement of the Seventeenth
Amendment to the Constitution,
providing for the direct election OF
Senators.
The proclamation that the requi-
site number of State Legislatures
had ratified the amendment marks
the successful outcome of a move
ment started eighty-seven years
ago. Mr.. Bryan invited several
to share his enthusiasm over the
event.
Former Representative Harry
st. George Tucker, of Virginia,
chairman of committee of the
Fifty-second Congress having charge
of the first direct election of Sena-
tors resolution that passed the
House; Representative Rucker, of
Missouri, chairman of the commit
tee in the Sixty-second Congress
which had charge of the resolution
which finally was adopted, and SEN
ator Borah, who championed the
change in the Senate, were present
as was Mrs. Bryan.
Secretary Bryan used four pens
to sign the proclamation. The first,
which he used to write William
went to Mr.. Tucker; the second,
with which he wrote Jennings"
went to Mr.. Rqcker; the third, with
which he wrote Bryan" he kept
for himself, and that with which he
wrote the date he delivered to Sen
ator Borah.
- To tfrose assembled Mr.. Bryan
expressed his qualification at being
the official to proclaim the constitu-
tional change.

THE OIL OUTLOOK.

During the coming summer and
fall, Kentucky will undoubtedly en-
perience very active developn ents
in the search for oil. Never before
in the history of the State have oil
men manifested the interest in pros
pecting for new territory. From
the Big Sandy Valley, in Lawrence
county, to the Jackson's Purchase
region, companies are taking leases
The recent strikes in Morgan coun-
ty, of the mountain section, and In
Ohio county, of the west portion of
the State. lave attracted the atten-
tion of .hc oil journals throughout
the country and through them the
State is eng well advertised.
Heretofore, Kentucky has receiv-
ed black eye," to use the opera
tors expression, on account Of the
low production and short lives of
the previously discovered fields.
But in the opinion of those VINO
are familiar with the wildcat drill
ing that has been jone and who arc
acquainted with the geology OF
Kentucky, the State has not been
fairly tested.
In many cases not enough money
has been expended to properly
prove the character of leases that
have later been abandoned. Many
districts have yielded light produc-
lions in shallow sands, but no tests
have been made of the deeper sands.
In some instances faults have been
mistaken for folds and develop
ments have gone on in a purely
haphazard. old-time manner.
But with the coming of practical
oil men, come intelligence, expert
ence and, what is more important
sufficient money to make thorough
tests. Oil is one of our States
most valued resources and the de-
velopment of every new pool helps
to place Kentucky on higher rank
among her sister States.
On the east lies West Virginia,
one of the greatest States outside
of Pennsylvania for quality and
quantity of crude petroleum. On
the north lie Ohio, Indiana and Ill.
inois, all rich with oil. On the west
and southwest are Missouri and the
rich fields of Alabama. Tennessee
has not yet received attention
while Kentucky. the next step, is
just coming into her own with the
present rise in the price of oil.
Go to it, boys, and may luck &c
with you. Pump the oil out of moth.

resulting coin about the surface.

WILSON NONCOMMITTAL
REGARDING SINGLE TERM

Washington, May 31.-Represen-
tative Britten, of Illinois, to-day
sought President Wilson's views on
his measures to provide a six-year
single term for President and Vice
President, the abolition of nominat-
ing conventions and the choice of
President and Vice. President by
preference primaries and direct
elections without the use of cleo
tors.
Mr.. Britten said on leaving the
White House that the President IA
vored the abolition of national con-
ventions for nominating purposes,
but thought them necessary to draft
party platforms. He declared that
Mr.. Wilson approved Presidential
primaries and direct election, which
would shorten the ballot. On the
six-year proposition Mr.. Britten
said the President refrained from
comment.
White House officials stated that
the President had not arrived at
any conclusion as to the practica-
bility of abolishing national conven-
tons, but had always favored nom-
ination by the primary system and
shorter ballot.

ing the following:

make you eat 1t, roots and all. If
you make any attempt to put out

Monica has five acres planted and
has ground prepared for eleven
more acres. He is undecided wheth-
err he will plant more.
Two bundles of switches were
left in the tobacco field of Alex
Porter, near Hebbardsville Friday
night. On each bundle was tied a
note reading: "If you grow tobac-
co you must take the conse-
quences."
A note bearing the identical Ian
guage was found tackled to the gate
post by Henry Barnett in the same
section.
Plant beds belonging to Jesse
and Cerise Van Cleve, in the same
section, were scraped last night.

THEY HADN'T HEARD FROM
OHIO COUNTY, KENTUCKY

The Greensboro Inquirer says:
The Executive Committee of the
Progressive National Committee
met at Progressive national head
quarters, in Chicago on May 23
and devoted two days to considering
reports from the several depart
ments of it's organization. At the
conclusion of the meeting the fol-
lowing statement was issued by
Walter F. Brown, chairman of the
committee on organizations:
Reports from every part of the
country show conclusively that
there is no sentiment among Pro-
gressives for any kind of party
amalgamation. On the contrary,
the reports are unanimous that Pro-
gressives everywhere resent every
such suggestion and refuse to act
with any other party. Republican
politicians in various parts of the
country are proposing milk and
water reforms and talking merger.
Having by hook and crook acquir-
ed the complete control of their
party organizations, of course they
are now seeking votes to place them
in power. Such votes will not be
cast by Progressives.
1t is very evident that the COM
mittee had not received any report
from the Progressives OF Ohio coun-
ty, Ky.

IL was announced last year that
the prime object of the organization
of the Progressive party, with Col,
Roosevelt at the head, was to rid
the country of political rottenness
and set up a standard of high polit-
ical preferment, about which would
be gathered the patriots of honest
government. The Republican party
was denounced as the most guilty
along this line of alleged political
malfeasance. having held power
longer than any other party. But
ideas seem to have changed in Ohio
county. Here We find those rantine
Progressive politicians OF last year
trying TO align themselves with the
very party which they claimed was
most guilty of political corruption
And there has been no change in
the Republican party whatever

standby on the farm, 1t would be
much better for them. There are

So great the shining, SO pure the blaze,
It reaches beyond, through the stellar ways,
Till-listen! A wind voice told it me

And this the signal that makes them know
We have hearts and homes and cheer below.
Why, gods and angels walk by the light
That streams from the earth on Christmas

Do you know the marvel Of Christmas time,
The miracle meaning of song and chime,
OF hearty love and huge good will,
OF feasts that gladden. and gifts that split
Do you know what happens to homes and men
When Christmas love is abroad again?
Could you look beneath, you would see the rush
OF q flood as real as the rivers gush;
A torrent wonderful, deep and wide,
That sweeps the world in it's magic tide.

Oh, it ism the gift, and it ism t the feast;
OF all the miracles, these are least.
It the good that flows from the hearts Of men
When Christmas love is abroad again.

And the tide which ages ago had source
In the heart of a babe, has grown and gained
Till all humanity, single-veined,
Answers the call of the mighty surge,
Swings to the great ~resistless urge.
Oh, vain is the boast of the hardened one
Who scouts what the centuries have done.
Be he ever so mean, be he ever so cold,
Though his heart be flint and his claim be bold,
His veins will tingle, his pulses thrill,
To the sound of "Peace on earth, good will!,'
Why, even the man who grips his purse
With q stingy mouth and a cruel curse
Must yield to the flood and be borne away
To join in the glory Of Christmas Day.
