TIME TO "SLoPE.y

Officers working on the theft of sew
real miles of copper wire from the
telegraph system of the Louisville &
Nashville road between Paris and
FALMOUTH, trailed a portion of the
loot to this city. 1t is alleged that
Cash Crow, who escaped from the
county warehouse last week, was one
of the gang that had been engaged
in lOOting the wire. On the morning
of his escape Grow was notified that
several hundred pounds of the stolen
wire had been discovered hidden in
his house on Eighth street. Grove
stoutly maintained his innocence Of
any criminal connection with the pos
SESSION of the wire and that it had
been brought there by other parties
At any rate, he took advantage Of
the occasion to leave for parts I'M
known. The WHO was returned to

WHAT AN OUTSIDER THINKS
OF THE LIQUOR QUESTION
ADVERTISEMENT

A prominent railroad contractor,
who has lived long enough in Paris
to understand local conditions, but
who has no more interest in the az
fairs of the city than any other trans
lent resident, in discussing the
liquor question on the streets this
week., expressed the opinion that To-
cal option in Paris would be
the greatest possible blow to the
city's wonderful growth and prosper
|ity. He said in part:
eff Prohibition would prohibit the
manufacture of liquor, there might
be some sense in passing a prOhibi-
tive law, but the passage OF a local
option law in city like Paris, with
Lexington wet, as it is conceded 1t
will be by even some of the dry
forces of that city, would cause great
gavoc to the growth and prosperity
of Paris.
Personally, am not a drinking
man, and would not be affected
whether prohibition carries or not,
but to one like myself, an outsider,
the situation looks grave. In my
Judgment, if Paris vites dry
all decent motorists and travellers
would have to find a new route be-
tween Paris and Lexington. l be-
lieve there would be more "joy-rid-
ers," more automobile wrecks and
more ruined young men, II Prohlbl-
ton carries, than are caused by all
the open saloons at present in the
city"
! This sentiment is expressed by
every fair-minded man who has con-
sidered the question in fair-minded
| manner. 1t has been always thus,
What a man wants, he wants; and
what he can't have, he wants worse
than ever. If all he has to do is to
stop for a moment in an open saloon
to secure a drink of whisky, the
whisky loses it's ATTRACTION in many
cases, and two-thirds of the time he
doesn't take the trouble to stop for
his drink. But if in his mind is the
idea that he is forbidden to drink in
his home town, and that he may by
stealth outwit the authorities and
secure that now coveted drink, he'd
go 100 miles for that one drink, and
then because that came easy, he
would keep on drinking according to
his thirst or his capacity.
Lexington is only eighteen miles
away, and how easy it would be for
the man togo there for the drink he
could not secure here-and who
would stop with ONE drink, after he
has gone to the trouble and expense
of travelling eighteen miles for 1t!
We believe the railroad man is right.

"They do not pay one cent? to the
county. Mark that"
1t would have been an easy matter
for him to have ascertained the
truth, if he had wished, and stated
that instead of not paying one cent
to the county, they pay yearly the
sum of $4,000.
He dwells with special emphasis
upon the amount we pay our County
Attorney and Prosecuting Attorney
for the prosecuting of criminals made
so by liquor He does not even hint
at the fact that an overXRelming pei
cent of that amount i for the
prosecution of bootleg an speak
easys in local option nkee1ncts.
He says with childlikes simplicity
that if thes aloons were closed, every
cent now spent in them would be to
the butcher, baker, or other mer
chants. 1t is a well recognized fact
that more liquor is consumed in Car
Isle, Cynthiana, and other dry towns
now than when the licensed saloon
prevailed, and neither the city OF
county gets one cent OF revenue
from it.
The entire article teens with mis-
demonstrations, and is evidently
written with the hope that the aver
age man will read it, and believe it
and vote accordingly. The only
sensible expression is in the las

that we fully concur.
The wet side of this controvers!
does not attempt to appeal to thu
sense of humor of the voter by hir
ing $50 a day humorists to tell hin
funny stories; nor do they wish tt
appeal to him in any way but from
strictly business and moral stand
point-that of common sense.
If YOU want higher taxes in Bour
bon County,; if you want your none:
to go to Lexington to help enrlcl
and develop that city and Fayett
| County, vote dry.
IF YOU want to make Paris dea'
town: if you want whisky sold b.
bootleggers and speak-easies, witt
no revenue to the city or county
vote dry.
If you want to encourage hypoe
risy and moral dishonesty, vote dry
If YOU want lawless traffic il
LIQUOR and increased drunken mel
on the sly, vote dry.
If you want to prove that Pr0hlb
ton does not prohibit, but only tend
to lessen respect for the law, vot
dry.
But if you prefer prosperity to pat
nerism: sincerity to hypocrisy; regu
iation to disorder, VOTE WET.
