FAIRBANKS INDORSED
BY KENTUCKY G. 0. P.
National Committeeman Tells Of
Action Of Republicans at
Louisville Meeting.

1.-THE Kentucky Republicans met in
Louisville Saturday night and Endorsed
Charles Warren Fairbanks. OF Indiana.
for the Republican Presidential nomina-
tion," said J. w. McCulloch, OF Owens
boro, the Kentucky national committee
man, who arrived this morning. He was
accompanied by Richard P. Ernst. OF
Covington. KY, another one OF the
leaders. I'VE are greatly regretful,
said McCulIoch, "of a mistaken report
of the Kentucky meeting, which got out
Saturday night. Three hundred Repub-
licans were there-every district was
represented. Everybody was given an
opportunity to talk. There was no other
expression than for Fairbanks, and the
resolution for him was adopted by a
vote Of liS to 2. the two preferring not
to make the declaration at this time.
The meeting was called, however. Tor
the purpose OF deciding what should be
the party's attitude. This is the first
declaration yet made by any state. Inc
Seventh and Ninth districts also held
Fairbanks. The declaration of the SAT-
urday night State meeting reads;
"Whereas Hon. Charles w. Fairbanks

honorable public service, his lntlmSte

INDUSTRIAL PREPAREDNESS

If you glance at the papers on the
newstands you will find that some
of them are being printed on paper
with strong and very ugly yellow
tint instead of the blue-white which
gives paper such the The Times is
printed on it's spick and span ap-
pearance. The yellow is the natural
color Of the paper. This sickly tint
is removed by aniline dye, of which
there has been a shortage, in this
country.
Aniline dye is coal tar product
which, besides paper, is used in the
coloring of cottons, linens, silks,
woolens, paints, varnishes, inks,
feathers, leather goods, buttons,
shoeblacking, glue, soap, celluloid
and many kinds of oils.
Before the war Germany controll-
ed the market of the world in the
coal tar chemical industry. With
ravaging competition Germany ruin
ed the dye industry in this country.
In the last thirty-six years only nine
dye factories were established here,
five of which were put out Of bust
ness by German competition. Nine
tenths of the dyes required in the
world were bought of the German
monopoly. Each year the United
States sent out $15,0O0,O0O in pay
ment for German dyestuffs.
War came and shut off the inn
portation Of dyes to this country.
The supply here soon became prac-
tically exhausted. Many industries
were crippled.
Our shortage of aniline dyes will
not long continue. The war has
given American manufacturers the
opportunity of getting their necks
from under the Teutouic boot heels
The few dye factories doing business
here at the start of the war have
been enlarged and several new ones
established. Recently one was or
canned with capital OF SlO,OVU,VUV'
Our manufacturers will he able soon
to satisfy the home demand.
But we must look 20 the future
We must have industrial prepared
ness as we'll as military prepared
ness. When peace is declared Ger
many will go about nending hel
brOken-down industrial fences anC
rehabilitating her business. One Of
the first tasks the Germans will sci
themselves to will be TO regain theil
monopoly Of coal tar products.
The selling of foreign-made goods
in this country at less than it costs
to produce them here will demolisl
our industries faster than we have
built them up.

STEVENSON AND THE "MOVIEs''

For a time it was the vogue
among young men and women, when
they went wrong, to blame it all on
the movies" The motion pictures
furnished a ready and convenient ex-
PLANTATION, and, since sociologists de-
mand first hand information, and
expect the juvenile offender to be
his own psychologist, why, that ex-
PLANTATION was as easy as another.
After they had had enough such
answers from shrewd young offend
ers, who began to see that their per-
sonal offenses somehow were con-
doned by this supposed supersensi-
tiveness to the slightest suggestion
Of crime, the social workers all came
forth with a long list of "cases," to
prove, to him who ran, that motion
pictures were an incitation to much
crime.
Moreover, these sOciologists, in
their sympathetic study of this phe-
nomena, pointed to the fact that
boys of yesteryear were raised on
aesaAS0R, and Henty, and Alger

SEES NO MENACE IN CHINA.

There is nothing in a change from
a so-called republic TO a constitutional
monarchy, of Itself. to disturb China
at this time, to menace the peace
Of the Far East" as Ishii, the Jap
anese foreign minister. Is quoted as
saying in the Japanese diet. China
does not now and never has in re-
cent years menaced the peace OF TIE
Far East. or any other part of the
world. The main points should be
got straight. and then the course of
events can be understood.
First, there is no doubt that the ro-
version to a monarchy suits a vas;
majority Of Chinese. and that this
same majority also prefers Yuan %

ment II is alos true that most of
the foreign residents of China think
q monarchy better suited to China
at this stage of her development, as
making for internal order and stabii-
ity. While II Is true that this change,
is accomplished by cut and dried
political methods. 1t is also true thst
II nevertheless is as accurate a res
Election of popular opinion as II Is
possible to obtain by any method. As
far as China is concerned, by herself,
the change makes for order and peace,
not for disturbance.
Duplicity Is Alleged.
Why. then, this talk of disturbance
in certain quarters? The answer is
found I'm the history OF events OF the
last four years-the revolution and the
rebellion. The revolution found Japan
intriguing to foment internal strife in
China b. supporting both sides with
funds and other aid. When leading
Chinese saw this trap and coupro-
missed their differences by creating a
nominal republic. japan fomented the

he will recover.
The youngsters parents ere dead, and
he had been kept at the home OF a

no place open to him, he told the police
he crawled into the barrel Wednesday
night and has been there ever since.

BY ii Yuang Hung, leader Of the revo-
luton, and now Vice President.
The international settlements OF

ical intrigue directed at China's nation

that the seizure of a Chinese gunboat
at Shanghai a week ago was caused
by Japanese intrigue, as the arms and
FUNDS used by the rebels were traced.
Warning From Japan.
There Is not the slightest danger Of
disorder in China row. because of the
proposed change OF government. unless
the revolutionary elements are provided
with arms and funds by an outside
power. japan has warned China that
disorder may occur. which will Justify
interference by, Japan: and we can be
sure THIS disorder will occur as sched-
uled. II japan can start 1t. thus pro-
viding the pretext for Selling control
OF China's administrative functions
while a majority Of other interested
powers are involved In the great war.
Japnn's game is secretly to foment In
ternal disorder In China, then use that
disorder to intervene.
Americans should understand that in
such course by japan, the Hay doc
trine probably will be destroyed. and

No Date For Change.
Americans also should understand
that change to a monarchy does not in
volve any real change in the Chinese
government. or its working principle.
II only will consolidate it's administra-
two power. which Is n good and neces-
