A writer on the Louisville
Times states that Mr.. ]. o. Rus
sell of this place. has been favor
ably mentioned as a suitable gen.
tleman to represent Adair and
Cumberland in the next Legisla-
ture. Mr.. Russell is a prominent
Republican, and as the dis
trict is largely of that political
faith. and Adair being entitled
to the Representative, no better
man could be selected. Mr..
Russell is a gentleman of ability,
possessing most excellent bus
mess qualifications, popular with
the masses, and there is scarce
| ly a doubt but he could win the
nomination by simply announc'
ing his candidacy. Opposition
would have to come from his
party in Adair county, and it is
generally believed that no one
would oppose him. If Mr.. Rus
sell has political aspirations, anC
would like to have the honor Of
representing Adair and Cumber'
land in the next Legislature, he
has only to announce his candi'
dacy.

put up dollar for dollar in build
ing our roads. 1t is up 20 our
Fiscal court to do or not to do, to
go forward, get out of the mud
or remain under present condi-
tions. We can build from 8 to
II miles of road each year, and
if it is not done it will be the
fault of the people of this county
and not the State. The court is
composed of good citizens and is
responsive to public sentiment.
But few men can be found who
are willing to 20 against the ma
jority in matters of this kind
and it is not only necessary but
right in principle and correct il
policy for the citizens of thi'
county to ask the court to secure
from the State every dollar with
in its power for building goot
roads.

Several gentlemen have been
mentioned for the State Senate
from this district, which is COM
posed of the counties of Adair,
Barren and Metcalfe. The dis
trict is Democratic and it is gen.
orally conceded that Barren is
entitled to the candidate, as the
last Senator, Hon. M. o. Scott,
is a citizen of Metcalfe, and it
is further said he will not aspire
to reelection. Adair will not
have candidate, but will take
pleasure in supporting the can
didate named in the primary.
Four gentlemen in Barren coun-
ty are being considered, as we

Through statistics furnished
this office by Attorney General
Garrett, who prides in every
forward movement in his native
heath, we find Adair county
holds second place in school at
tendance, a position that every
good citizen should pride in who
has any interest in the future
citizenship of this part of the
State. While Kentucky does not
hold first place in the education
al procession, yet aher standing
and efforts are not by any means
discouraging, with many Of the
States trailing in the rear in ed
ucational lines, and, since this is
true, Adair county may we'll feel
proud of the fact that the school
census for 1912 and 1918 shows
only one county in front and 118
outclassed in public school at
tendance by this county. The
1912-19l9 school census shows
1918 school children in this coun-
ty with an average attendance of
1895 which is 68 per cent, of
the total. Selecting seven coun-
ties in different parts of the
State we find the per cent, Of
attendance as follows: Nicholas
II, Adair 68, Butler 81, Fulton
65, Todd 81, Woodford % and
Jefferson 81. The above figures
should not only tickle our pride,
but should arouse a determine
tion to take the lead in public
school attendance in the years of
1914 and 1915. An educated cit
izenship is an asset too valuable
to be estimated, and in a series
of years will produce results that
will awaken every fiber of public
enterprise and patriotism. One
handicap and only one to keeI
this county from taking the leaC
as above mentioned, is the condi
ton of our roads. If our road'
were the equal of central coun
ties, we would not only lead il
school attendance, but prove ou
worth and enterprise in awak
ened agriculture and industrial
development. Adair county il
one of the best counties in tn,
State, and under favorable con
ditions for development would
move rapidly in substantial en-
terprises. The State has com,

the suffragettes. Because of the vio-
lence of Mrs. Pankhurst and women of
her ilk the privileges of these won
derful places are denied all. Mr. Still
we'll thinks that Austria Hungary dis
likes the United States as cordially as
any other nation in the world. He at
tributes this antipathy to the anger
aroused over the death of Macmillan,
the Emperor's brother, who usurped
the Mexican throne and was killed by
Mexicans who revolted against the
Austrian invader Though the United
States had no part in the killing and
simply did not interpose, and though
the affair happened about the time of
the Civil War, the Austrians have new
er forgotten it. In the recent Mexican
trouble they openly expressed the
hope that Mexico would conquer the
United States in the war which they
hoped would be declared.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stillwell travelled over
twenty-one thousand miles, and in all
their journeys they never once failed
| to reach their destination on the day
scheduled for arrival. They never
once failed to start on the scheduled
day despite adverse weather condi-
tons; nor did car troubles ever detain
them for any length of time. They
toured in one of the smaller cars.
They found that cars of the same
equipment cost fifty percent more in
Europe than in the United States;
while gasoline ranges from sixty tc
ninety cents a gallon. Car parts are
much more expensive there than here
The cheapest way to tour Europe in ar
automobile is to purchase the car al
home and ship it abroad, because the
cost of shipment is so much less thar
the difference in price. A large cal
can be shipped for five hundred dol
lars, while a smaller one costs two
hundred fifty dollars. To rent cal
for touring purposes is to place your,
self in a position which is extremely
odious to free American, thinks Mr.
Stillwell; this is because of the AFRO.
gance and presumption of the foreign
chauffeur and the vexatious condi
tions of such travelling. He found prac.
tically no muddy roads.
Mr.. Stillwell has been touring fol
nearly four years, covering about forty
thousand miles in that time. He has
seen nearly every state in the Unior
and has crossed all the western noun.

POLITICS

Berrien county Republicans will
hold their county convention to select
delegates to the state convention, to
be held at Kalamazoo on September
8. The place will be designated by the
county committee. September 8 is
the date set by the republican state
central committee for holding similar
conventions throughout the state.
The Republicans have selected Sep
TENDER Both as the date for holding
the state convention at Kalamazoo.
This date has also been selected by
both the Democrats and Progressives.
The three conventions will nominate
states which will comprise candidates
for secretary of state, state treasurer,
auditor general and attorney general.
The temporary chairman of the Re-
publican convention is to be James II.
Kinnane of Dowagiac, former state
senator from the Berrien Cass dis
trict and often mentioned as a candi-
date for Congress. In fact two years
ago Kinnane announced himself as a
candidate for Congress against Rep.
Hamilton. Before he filed his primary
petitions he went over to the Bull
Moose and was with that party in the
national campaign of two years ago.
Recently the Dowagiac lawyer return
ed to the Republican fold. He attend
ed the Republican welfare conference
held in Detroit in May and announced
that he had come back to the old par
ty.
Col. Will A. Waite of Detroit, presi-
dent of the State League of Republican
clubs, may or may not be a candidate
for the Republican nomination for sec
rotary of state in the convention to be
held about month after candidates for
governor and lieutenant governor are
named in the primaries, August 25.
81 will not allow my name to be pre-
sented to the convention in case a
Wayne county man is nominated in
the primaries as the Republican can
didate for governor" said Col. Waite
on Thursday. eff Wayne has the
governorship, other places on the
ticket should go elsewhere. But if
some other, than a Wayne county
man is nominated for governor, then
Wayne county will have a right to
look for place on the ticket, and |
will be candidate before the conven-
ton for secretary of state"
