BALLARD 8 TIME.

Don't you think it's Ballard
county's time to have Common
wealth's Attorney
Since the present race for the
office of Commemorative At-l
| torney began, the Editor of the
Ballard Yeoman has made some
inquiries of old citizens here, aud
we find the last Commonwealth
Attorney ever elected from Bal
lard county, was the Hon. Chas.
Thomas. Mr.. Thomas was elect
ed while Ballard county included
in its boundary the county as 1t
now is, and also the territory now
known as Carlisle county. Some
claim that Mr.. Thomas rented a
house in Paducah, and moved
his family to McCracken county
; Just prior TO the time he was
elected and lived there from that
- time, while others say that he
lived in Ballard county for a year
or two Just after his election be-
fore moving to Paducah. But al
most Ballard county never had q
I Commonwealth Attorney to live
within its boundary more thar
two years within the forty-fiv'
; years.

SO busy retreating before villa that
they had little time for land reforms.
Since the Carranzistas have gotten
control of Durango the land plan may
be given a trial. as the Arrietas always
have been loyal to the FIRST chief. and
when they and their immediate follow
ers are provided for they are not un.
willing that something shall be left for
the poems.
This is the general situation as Il
exists today. and as 1t concerns the
bulk OF the Mexican population. The
peon is still uncertain as to what he
will get after four years fighting. He
wants something more than monuments
to independence.
He is told that the social revolution
is about to triumph. and that the pro-
gram of social reforms will soon be put
in force. Vague hints are also given
that he is to profit by the government
controlling the national utilities, such
as the oil wells and the mines.
These statements make no Impression
the talk OF constitutional government
and political liberties. What the peon
from his own environment actually
sees ts the prospect Of guerrilla warfare.
What 10 certainly before him is tho in
heritance OF q looted treasury, a vastly
increased national debt to meet the ex-
penses of the revolution. and possibly q
mountain of foreign claims which will
be acknowledged by the set of de facto
authorities that gets recognition, with
the promise to observe these foreign
obligations as the partial price of
recognition.
There Is also the inheritance Of the
huge volume of paper currency. which
will have to be repudiated. but which
cannot be repudiated without some one
feeling the burden.
All these burdens will fall upon the
peon. because he constitutes the bulk of
the Mexican population. and no system
of government can be devised in Mexi-
co any more than in any other coun-
try by which the mass of the popula-
