FILE NATURALIZATION RECORDS

In statement issued by the Feder-
al Department of Labor, naturalized
Americans the country over are urged
to send in their naturalization papers
for record at the bureau of naturaliza-
tion, so that in case the citizen later
loses his papers there will be record
in the bureau from which duplica.
cate can be taken. 1t is pointed out
that since the federal naturalization
law went into effect in 1906, the build
ings housing thirty-eight courts exercis.
ing naturalization jurisdiction have
been destroyed by fire, and the natural
ization records have been either totally
lost or so badly damaged as to be of
little or no service to the applicant for
the purpose for which they were taken
out.

For the week beginning with the SUM-
day matinee the Denham Players will
be seen in ''The Woman in the Case"
one of the most sensational successes of
the late Clyde Fitch. Mr.. Fitch wrote
the play especially for Blanche Walsh,
who scored her greatest triumph in the
role of the wife, who steps to the level
of the underworld in order to save her
husband, who is wrongfully accused Of
murder. The play offers a vein of deep
intrigue with a woman of the under.
world as material figure in the ma.
licious plotting against the wronged
husband. This woman knows the real
circumstances of the murder, and in
order to wrest the facts from her the
wife OF the accused man cleverly and
successfully plans to become the
woman's companion. The denouement
is reached after an intense scene in the
third act, showing the apartments of
the eonspirator. Here the two women,
the designing one in earnest, the other
feigning. engage in riotous dinner
scene. BY inducing her victim to par
take of copious measures of wine the
wife of the imprisoned man succeeds in
getting the other intoxicated. and while
in this state she stutteringly discloses
the plans, with their motives, which led
to the false imprisonment. The climax
of this great third act is said to be the
most tense of all climaxes conceived in
the brain of the master American play
wright, and two exceptionally strong
feminine roles are provided.
"The Woman In the Case" will be the
attraction for the entire week, with the
regular weekday matinees Wednesday
and Saturday. At the matinee Wednes-
day the souvenir of Miss Robb will be
presented the ladies attending.

NO-ASSEMBLY
PARTY FILES
Candidates and Platform
Put Forth
Campaign to Be Made on PROPOSE
ton to Do Away With All
Political Conventions

last week as being in process of forma-
tion, has perfected an organization, and
will be known as the No-Assembly par
ty. Petitions have been circulated, and
they were literally signed, many per-
sons expressing themselves as being in
hearty sympathy with the aims and OBJ
jects of the organization. Thursday a
complete senatorial and representative
ticket was filed, and the candidates
named will be found on the official bal
lot to be voted on Nov. 3. The names
of the candidates are as follows:
For State Senator'S
Harvey E. Garman.
Barney HaIghey.
Nicholas Ludwig.
Alexander L. Sterling.
For Representatives
Fred Lambert. -
Herman A. Bolster.
Joseph B. Cobbs.
Alexander Z. Helmle.
Fred j. Taylor.
Edward W. Stuart.
Leonard Ruehle.
George Bergen.
Adrian Mcguire.
John s. Goble.
Frank Springrose
The following platform has been an
nounced:
"The No-Assembly party is composed
s.f at, .f
rule OF the people and who are resolved
to make that rule effective. To ac-
complish that end, the party has cir
culated petitions to nominate four can
didates for the state senate and twelve
candidates for the house of representa-
tives These candidates promise and
pledge, if elected, to work for laws that
VIII give every citizen an equal oppor-
tunlty and an equal voice in nominat-
ing candidates for public office. In
other words. they promise to vote and
work for laws that will deny state rec
ognition of party assemblies, conyen-
tions or caucauses, and that will secure
the nomination of all candidates exclus.
lively by petition.
They further promise that if elected
they will vote and work for such a
change in our laws that the land owned
or used Dy pubic utility corporations
shall be listed and valued separate and
apart from the other propertys the
same as an individuals rights in land
are now assessed.
These two measures will be opposed
by most of the legislative candidates
who secured their nominations in the
boss controlled assemblies. Therefore,
every voter who believes that property
should be classified for taxation, and
that all citizens should stand on abso-
lutely equal terms before the law in
making nominations for public office,
should vote for the candidates nomi-
mated by our party"
1t is proposed by the new party to
form a campaign committee and wage
an active an energetic canvass for the
success OF the nominees. Meetings will
be held in various parts of the city, and
all effort will be extended only along
the line of legislative election, leaving
the state ticket nominees of the other
parties to the choice of the voter 1t
will be noted from the personnel of the
ticket filed, that large number of
well-known union men have been put
up for consideration.

Tuesdays Courier-Journal contain
ed a voluminous editorial against
what the able editor termed Prus-
ianizing the United States. The ar
ticle is based on an effort upon the
part of certain Congressman to have
an investigation into the question
of our ability to defend ourselves
against an enemy provided with the
modern implements of warfare. The
writer thinks we should let matters
drift until we are attacked. We
mustn't make any powder or rattle
any sabers' until the enemy is upon
us. That is the policy which is
making it hard for England now.
Her leaders warned her some years
ago. but they were laughed out of
court. No one would dare attack
England or provoke her to war. This
others when they predicted the pres
ent conditions. Suppose England
had no help from other countries,
in this crisis, which, while nothing
like as well prepared as Germany,
had the benefit of compulsory service.
England would already have been
overrun by the armies of the Kaiser.
The United States wants no wars, en-
poets no wars. Neither did Belgium. !,
Suppose We are insulted by first !
class power. Suppose our marines /
should be arrested by soldiers of a |
first-class power, as was done by the
Huerta crowd at Tampico. Would |
We do less than we did then? We |
would like the Courier-Journal to tell
us what we would do and how we
would do it, Maybe he would send /

to invade EN-, or snipe 'em.

dollar for dollar without raising
taxes. There are some counties,
where popular subscriptions will help
out. The great mass will either have
TO increase their tax rate and build
few miles of road each year until
their total is complete or they can
issue bonds, complete their entire
county seat system at one time and
enter on the immediate and perma-
nent enjoyment that good roads
bring with them. The money from
the State will come pretty close to
taking care of the interest on a bond
issue of 100000. The increase in
land values. i'm farm products and
the saving in farm animals will put
a dollar in the farmers pocket for
every mill that he takes out in in

issue.

"HORSE SENSE"

Under the above head the Louis
vile Times of Thursday Dec. 3,
prints the following editorial from
this paper with accompanying COM
ment:
Says the Hartford Republican:
In another column appears an ar
ticle on the road question, from the
Courier-Journal, which is well worth
the attention of all our county read
ers. 1t is up to the various coun-
! ties to take advantage of the State
aid which is extended through a spe-
cial tax. Unless we provide a fund,
although We help to pay this State
tax of 5 cents. we can never get any
thing in return. Sooner or later we
will be compelled to vote a bond is
sue, if we are ever to build roads in
Ohio county, and we might as well
get in the proper frame of mind to
consider it. 1t is not popular thing
to advocate, but it is bound to come,
and it ought not to make any mans
taxes any greater. Under the pres
ent system of road working the
money is wasted without any per-
manent roads, and the same old mud
holes are to doctor every year
There is no fine writing" dis
cernible in the foregoing paragraph. |
There is, however, a deal of horse |
sense, and horse sense is now the !
one thing needful to build good roads |
in Ohio as in every county i'm the
State. As the Republican says, the
> cents tax on the 500 has to be paid
by Ohio county, whether it takes ad-
vantage of the State aid law or not.
If ii does, Ohio county will have =
-wo dollars for every dollar it now {
has for the building of roads, and /
he roads, when built, will be good {
'oads or the Governor and his ap- I
in the Bureau of Roads can
'e made to tell the reason why. If {
I does not. some other county will c
get the benefit of Ohio's contribu- I
ion to the Stae aid fund.
Ohio county, as are some l19 other I
ounties in the State. is wasting I
money under the presnt system of il
Dad working. The county is with Ii
ut "a permanent road and there are q
he same old mudholes to docter ev- a
ry year" That's the plan Kentucky e
as been following for the last seven C
g-five years, ever since State aid is
'as abandoned. The figures now
mount to something like 100000 Il

low except those built with State ri
