PROHIBITION and WAR
TALKED To OHIOANS
Real Factor Is Arguments for and
Against Wilson Rule on Basis of
Strife in Europe.
REVENUE BILL is UNPOPULAR

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 16-Not for many
years has the State of Ohio been so rent
ssunder by such a bitter political cam
paign as is on today. The fight appsr-
entity centers about the struggle between
the "wets" and the "drys," which is ex-
pected to bring out an unprecedented
vote on November g. but it is now seen
that the real factor in the situation is a
national issue-the Endorsement of the
record Of President Wilson and the Dem
ocratic Congress. 5fai >.
It is the war in Europe which has fur
nished the immediate arguments for and
against a continuance of Democratic
control of the State government and the
sending of another Democratic delega-
ton to Congress. The Wilson-Bryan
peace policy, as exemplified by 'watchful
waiting in Mexico, has become immense
ly popular with all classes and all parties
since the European war began. The
war" revenue bill now pending in Con-
gress is not so popular, especially as the
voters here have an idea that the Demo
Gratis in Congress have not tried to econ
omize in legitimate ways, but on the
contrary, have endeavored to raid the
Treasury with their ''pork-barrel'' bills.
President Wilson fully realizes the need
Of the moment He has sent Mr.. Brian,
Secretary Of State, here for two speaking
tours. to tell the voters that every ballot
for Democratic candidates for Governor,
Senator and Representative in Congress
is a vote of Endorsement for Mr.. Wilson
and the Democratic party
Business in Ohio is not good. It is i'm
proving. but very slowly. Republican
Congressional candidates are declaring
that this is due to the Democratic Tariff
act and the general onslaught of the
Democratic Congress against business
The Democrats say it is due entirely to
the unprecedented conditions following
the world war.
The big uncertain factor in the back
ground is the business situation. Ohio
factories are not running to full capac-
ity. Many are closed. The iron ore busi-
ness has slumped and with it the coal
mining business The coal mines are
running at only so per cent of their
capacity. 1000 miners are working on
half time and more than 1000 are out

 The avowed object of the associa- tion are as follows:
 1. The eradication of the cattle tick
 2. The development of a profitable cattle industry in the south.
 3. The promotion of effective and uniform national and state live stock sanitary legislation
 The means which have been sug- gested for the accomplishment of these objects are i'll part as follows: l. The holding of meetings for the discussion of live stock problems and the dissemination of live stock infor- nation. 2. The organization of local or county associations which will pro- mote the work of tick eradication and the improvement of the cattle of the locality by the introduction of pure bred bulls. 8. By assisting the small live stock producer in marketing his products.
 It has been suggested that an active field agent may be employed by the association to assist local cattlemen in the attainment of these purposes
 At Memphis, Tenn, on December 10th and 11th, 1913, the first regular meeting was held and a constitution and bylaws adopted fixing the an- nual membership dues at $20O per an- mum. At that meeting large num- Der of cattlemen were in attendance from all the southern states, from Kentucky to Florida and from Vir- ginia to New Mexico, and enthusiasm ran high. Every southern cattleman owes 1t as his duty to join this as- sociation, and bankers professional men and merchants can we'll afford to give it encouragement and assist ance

No greater insight into President Wilson's character has so far been published than his own description or his feelings presented a few nights ago to men connected with the newspaper profession. His ability to explain his feelings as a man and his ideas of remaining just a plain American citizen in spite of the handicaps that would dignify him above his fellows have en- deared him more than ever to those progressive Americans who admire a man of standing in high places, no matter what his political affilia- tionS.

Prominent Cattle Grower Urges Southern Farmers to Raise Cattle Conserve Soil Fertility, by Grow

By A. L. FRENCH, Prominent Cattle

By A. L. FRENCH, Prominent Cattle
 Grower, Cascade, Va.
 As our country grows older other problems besides securing the pres ent dollar thrust themselves upon the man who handles the soil, and to the thinking men of the south, soil con servation stands in a class by itself as cur most pressing problem and practical means looking to this end demands from year to year an ever increasing proportion of our thought.
 The crop that is indigenous to a country is not always the crop that continues 10 be held in the highest es. teem by the leading thinking men of that section. For instance, in the finest blue grass section of Indiana know a leading live stock raiser and feeder who is discarding blue grass very largely for timothy, herds grass and sapling clover as pasture crops, because of the greater amount of feed the new pasture crops are pro- ducing. So while the grass has not been much in evidence upon the farms over much of the south up to this time the change of sentiment that is everywhere present among our peo- pie regarding the care of the soil leads us to believe that the matter will be tried out in large way during the next ten years.
 Grow More Grass.
 And where the trial is intelligently made grass will surely follow, for abundant rainfall, much sunshine, a fair quality of soil and lime makes grass growing. We have the rainfall and sunshine ever with us, the skele- ton of a good soil is ours yet and a million or two tons of lime are within our borders awaiting our awakening.
