AMERICAN FACTORIES

American Photograph Company also

Grated by Americans are now being
used to make steel billets for militia
ry purposes.
Russia has lacked arms factories,
having depended largely on France
for her small arms as well as for her
artillery. But to-day practically
nothing is being received from
France, and the supplies in Russia
became so short that some muzzle-
loading muskets, as we'll as cannon
of this same type, have been used in
the Polish campaign. The taking

PETER RADFORD ON
"POLITICAL PREACHERS

Peter Radford. who has JUST been
reelected lecturer of the Farmers
Educational and COOPERATIVE Union
of America, sounds a note of warning
to the growing number of preachers
who are mixing in politics.
Those who put on ecclesiastical
robes" says Prof. Radford, ARE in "a
measure free to unlock every door to
the human heart and enter the secret
chambers of reason and every person
should submit their conduct to re-
view and seek the counsel of these
divinely appointed messengers of life,
but the moment the minister closes
the Bible and opens the law book, he
becomes menace to society.
THE greatest peril to the church
to-day is politics. The temptation of
the ministry to throw down the cross
of Christ and pick up the club of the
policeman to substitute the penal
ties of the law for the power of the
altar and to 1egislate religion into
human hearts. never was greater.
THE world never needed a relig-
ious ministry more nor political
preachers less than it does to-day.
We need ministers to teach us how
to live; we know how to vote"
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1914-11-25

ing appeal for attention to the i'm
portance Of the campaign which the
meeting inaugurated:
81 want to leave this one thought
with you, and IL should impress you
more than any statement that could
be made-that is: If enough coun-
ties do not take advantage of State
aid during the year 1915 to show
that State aid is wanted II will be the
easiest matter in the world for few
enemies of good roads to repeal, as
before stated, your present legisla-
ton, which will, II you please, retard
the good roads movement in Ken
lucky at least twenty years"
There are differences of opinion as
to whether the Kentucky law Is as
good as 1t might be made, in all of
its provisions, but 1t will not be i'm
proved by disuse, and there is be-
tween advocates of good roads no
difference of opinion as to the State
aid plan being essential to the devel-
opment of a Statewide system of
roads. There can be no difference of
opinion upon the point that the poor
er counties are the counties having
the greater opportunity to profit by
taking advantage of the State-aid
plan. Jefferson county's interest lies
in promoting the States develop
ment. The road problem in this
county will be but little affected by
the addition of triiling amount-in
comparison to the sum representing
the county levy--to the annual road
fund. by application for State aid.
Yet jefferson should be the leader in
the effort to awaken the whole State
