Why Impose A War Tax?

The plan of the Administration tC
offset its failure to keep up the ex-
pense of running the government by
imposing a burdensome war tax on
the people, especially when the coun-
try is at peace with all the world,
has aroused widespread opposition.
"In the first place, there is no
need for additional taxation" said
Minority Leader Mann, on the floor
of the House of Representatives. IF
the party in power would exercise
econmy in expenditures-reasonable
and natural economy such as an ordi-
nary business man would enforce in
his own affairs or judicious house
keeper would apply, no citizen need
be taxed another dollar.
but even with the reckless expen-
diture of public money by the pres
ent Congress, there is a better way
to meet the deficit than by levying
direct taxes. OF course, no one ex-
poets the administration to adopt
the Republican course of seeking
revenue from such imports as will
come in, notwithstanding the war re-
strictiops, aid therefore i tbs useless
for a Republican to olseer advice

GLASGOW'S MARSHALL
IS ASSASSINATED
Robert Thurman Shot Down
At His Post of
Duty.

Glasgow, Ky, Sept. 19.-Robert
T. Thurman, a policeman of this
city, was murdered between IL ant
/ o'clock this morning on West MAR
street, about one-half block from
Court Square. Thurman received a
telephone message to go to North
Glasgow and make an arrest. He was
returning with two prisoners when
he was shot. He fell unconscious and
the prisoners made their escape.
The shots aroused citizens, who
found the officer and carried him
TO the Murrell Hotel, where he
breathed his last few minutes later.
Attempts were made to assassinate
the officer several months ago.
since which time all kinds of rumors
have been afloat and many of his
friends have predicted he would
meet a violent end.
Nothing in the history of Glasgow
has so aroused the people as the
murder of the brave young officer.
Robert Thurman was 80 years old,
and was formerly marshal of Burk-
esville and Edmonton, Ky. He was a
member of the Methodist church.
More than one year ago boot
Logging" became so open in Glas-
gov that something drastic had to
be done. Accordingly. the City Coun-
Gil of Glasgow, headed by Mayor j.
S. Leech, met and employed Mr..
Thurman, with the understanding
that he would try 10 arrest every
violator of the law. He was strang-

no "favorites," AMI within a few
weeks he had arrested and convict
ed twenty-five persons

quently heard that they would kill
him. Interested persons offered him
large sums of money to leave, but
these he refused and stayed at his
post Of duty, ~-.--EE aTF~
A court of inquiry was held to-
day to investigate the murder of
Chief Thurman, and sufficient evil
dence was brought out to cause the
arrest of Milton Mansfield and
Louie Pace, two well-known young
men Of Glasgow; Their examining
trial was called this afternoon, but
continued until Monday. Carlton Col
Inns was put under $3.50 witness

Tariff the Chief Issue.

The Missouri Republicans in their
State platform put proper emphasis
on the Tariff as a national issue. 1t
is the great economic question on
which a large majority of American
citizens agree in general principle.
The protective system was the
American system under which Amer
lean industries were built up in
spite of the doubt and scOrn of the
oretical Free-Traders who have pa
raded under banners bearing such
varied devices of Tariff reform as
the idiosyncrasies OF their leaders
have suggested from time to time
Under a protective tariff American
farmers have had an incompatible
home market for their products
The American laboring men under
it has been the best workers and
living has been correspondence

In Kansas City.

In Kansas City they love to tell Of
a certain wealthy meat packer who
never loses an opportunity to i'm
press upon visitors to his house the
great extent of his riches.
He was showing a caller from the
East through his palatial mansion
on one occasion. when they stopped
before a handsome plate-glass mir
ror of massive size above the fire
place in the drawing room.
"See that mirror" asked the
packer. 1T cost me just $4,000"
"Heavens!" exclaimed the visitor,
duly impressed. Then, after a care
full examination of the article, he
added, But what pity it is scratch

An "OId Time" Stir.

Tighten days of good, hard sound
old time preaching on a specially
prepared camp ground near West
No Creek school house resulted in
great good being done.
This work was accomplished thru
the labors of Bros. Landrum and
Gentry, two holiness preachers from
Kingswood, Ky.
It rained us out on the camp
ground for the first few days and
we moved to the little school house
near by, while a tabernacle was be-
ing built. This being quickly com
pieted, back to the thicket we went
where large crowds attended-many
from miles away. '.'' .''' t'.'

1t was stated when the Tariff was
lowered that the intention was to
open up foreign markets to Ameri-
an while opening up the American
market to foreigners. Unfortunately,
this has not been accomplished. The
products of the American farmer are
being displaced by foreign products,
and at the same time We are unable
to compete abroad.
, We have the greatest natural re-
Sources in tie world. We have the
greatest land area for farming. We
have an expensive Department OF
Agriculture whose duty it is to teach
American farmers the most modern
methods. Until the low Tariff was
written upon the books, our posi-
ton as a producing nation was un-
questioned. The low Tariff, however,
has shackled the arms of the Am
erican farmer. and he is standing
helples in his field, watching with
|bewilderment the influx of the cheap
food products which we have in
vited to take possession of our mark

/ for distribution when most needed
Out in the desert lands, which are
near to snow-capped mountains. tho
work of irrigation is easy and there
the paradox, that when moisture is
most needed IL most ,abounds, Is
/ patent to all upon little reflection
/ for 1t is plain to understand that
when the sun shines warmest the
greatest quantity of snow will melt
irrigation bitches. Here in Ken
lucky we have no such snow-capped
mountains, and the paradox has no
existence here. The problem. how
ever, of providing more moisture
here at the needy time does exist,
and il will probably have to be
solved. Just now there are thous-
ands of acres of early corn that will
not pay for its cultivation, because
it did not receive the requisite
moisture at the right time.
Last year a single farmer had
1900 acres of corn, that for the
same reason, was not worth the
gathering. The tobacco crop is cut
short this year, and for the same
reason. All early gardens were
drouth-killed.
The problem of irrigation, it
would seem. is simplified by the fact
that great quantities of water can
be reached under the surface in
nearly every level part of Daviess
county. Throughout the state there
are Astounding rivers and springs.
These are found at such elevations
that nearly every foot of tillable
land in the state could be irrigated
from some of them. The one draw
back to this suggestion is that these
waters are often heavily impreg-
mated with mineral substance not
lacking or needed in the various
soils. Then they are further in
ferior to the water that falls from
rains because they are lacking in
which abounds in the rain
water. This element is very much
needed in all worn or Congratulated
soils. Because of this the need will
be for genius who can provide
plans for, storage of the snow and
rain-water for irrigating purposes.
and If it cannot be done. then chem
istry will have to be resorted to for
the perfecting of other waters for
such purposes.
Anyway. it begins to look like ir-
rigation is a problem for the future
