FACTS VS.. FICTION.

The official statistician of the dry
forces in a recent article in local
paper, casts a brilliant horoscope for
the future of Bourbon County in case
the drys should not prevail. One
would Judge from casual persual OF
the article that it was written by a
person who was conyersant with the
facts. But a. second and more thor
ough study of the article will i'm
press anyone with the fact that is
bears the ear mark of distorted
mind.
If, as he says, the voting of Rour'
bon County dry will cause our peo-
pie to prosper and our county to
bloom and blossom as a rose, how
does he account for the FACT that
76 out of the 80 pauper counties in
Kentucky are Prohibition counties
How does he account for the
FACT that "a Prohibition counties in
Kentucky show net deficit OF S771,
494.27, while &c licensed counties in
Kentucky produce net surplus OF
$1,1S9, 491.46?
FACTS are FACTS, and fairy tales
are but fiction.

fifteen saloons in Paris which pay to

Royal E. Cabel, formerly United
States Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, in a recent address said that
the records show that in 1911, 2O,OOO,-
600 gallons of whisky went direct to
consumers in PROHIBITION TER
RITORY by the express route
ALONE in shipments of less than
than two gallons each. Take the
licensed saloons from Paris and the
city, though losing thousands OF dol
lars IN TAXES ANNUALLY, would
still be flooded with liquor OF every
description. Place the stamp of dis
approval of such tactics by voting
against Prohibition and FOR the
licensed saloon on September %.
Personal ambitions and greed play
the major role in every Prohibition
fightAand the one now being made
i'm Paris and Bourbon county is not
an exception.
Farmers in Bourbon county inter-
ested in the tobacco growing indus
try should stop, look and listen be-
fore they deposit ballot for prohl-
bition.
This crusade, if successful, will I'M
questionably be followed by move
ment against TOBACCO.
Every man who thinks he is capa-
BILE of self-government should oppose
prohibition. ..
When a man governs himself, that
is liberty; when he governs another
man, that is despotism.
Failing to convince the people of
Paris by statistics from dry States
that Prohibition has given success
local advocates have abandoned this
plan-and now are making but
one excuse for their fight against a
legitimate business. If prohibition
has proven failure everywhere else
what reason have Bourbon county
voters to believe it will prove sue
cessful here?
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1914-09-15

assures man that this is entirely
untrue.
The Prohibitionists sayk "yote out
the licensed saloon and save your
girl! Reports of various commit
tees which have investigated vice in
the larger cities of America show
that the saloon leads fewer than sew
en- per cent. of the girls who go
wrong. The dance hall and poverty
are the chief causes of immortality
among young women in the cities,
and not liquor.
A vast majority of the young wo-
men and young men who go wrong
are tempted either by love of money
or love of lust and a GOOD TIME
So few are those who take the
downward path in the licensed saloon
that. the number is insignificant
WOMEN ARE NOT ALLOWED IN
THE SALOONS OF PARIS. The
veracity of this statement cannot be
questioned.
Licensed saloons PROTECT YOUR
BOY instead of running him, A law
prohibiting minors from entering
saloons in Paris, has always been
and is now BEING STRICTLY AID
HERED TO. If the licensed saloon
houses are voted out, WHAT PRO
lection WILL THERE THEN BE
FOR YOUR BOY? A bootlegger
who fears no law, because he can es
cape the meshes with the payment
of a fine, would sell YOUR YOUNG
SON. any amount of~mean whisky as
fast as he produces the cash. WOULD
THAT BE PROTECTION?
AS long as liquor is manufactured
there will be thousands of men to
drink it. AS long as there are meT
and women there will be immora
men and women. Neither is needed
to perpetuate the life of the other
Neither man or woman needs drinl
liquor to be immoral, and vice versa

NOT TIME FOR PASSION.

The question which the voters Of
Bourbon county are to- decide on
September % is one upon which
hinges the future of Paris, and is one
which every voter of the county,
whether he be citizen of Paris or a
resident of the rural districts, should
consider carefully before casting his
vote
This question should not be decid-
ed in the heat of passion. Passion
has brought ruin to mOnarchies, to
nations and to thousands of men in
business, political, private and public
life. Passion is similar in many re-
spect to VIOLENCE, OR at least
leads to such.
| Every question decided in an cleo
ton should be the decision of calm,
deliberate people. Unless it is, there
| is grave danger of the decision being
something other than the VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE.
There undoubtedly will be every
effort resorted to to influence the
voters of Bourbon county by advo-
Gates of Prohibition. They will stop
at nothing.
Passion alone is responsible for
the greatest war which is raging in
Europe back to BARBARISM. In
other words, SNAP JUDGMENT was
used, instead of COOL deliberate
| thought.

bers of the Richmond Tobacco Trade
at a called meeting, passed resolu
lions designed to warn those engag.

thousand copies of the resolution
will be printed for immediate distri
button, and steps are being taken to
inform the tobacco interests through
out the country of the situation.
Tobacconists believe that to forbid
the culture of tobacco in Virginia
would be to prohibit one of the larg
est and most remunerative crops
grown in the State, and the farmers
would be deprived of crop which
furnishes them much ready money.
Much wealth in the State, is invested
in tobacco manufacturing Nplants an(
storage houses, and to make the
manufacture of the weed illega
would, of course, paralyze this indus
