FROM THE KE' r,,cvx,
80 SEAL CAMPAIGN

The y
-. .entucy Red Cross Seal Cam
:. - Is very anxious to secure vol
Steers 10 sell the Christmas seals in
all the towns and counties of the
State which have not we been heard
! from. Agents have been established
in about sixty of the one hundred
and twenty counties of the State and
an active campaign is being carried
on in many of the cities and towns
in the State.
At many of these places the cherry
Christmas pastors have become the
chief feature of the early winter So
cial season and the society leaders
are helping in the sale by giving Red
Cross Teas and Bazaars at which the
scheme of decoration cinsists of Red
Cross Seal material and at which
the seals are either sold or present
ey by the hostess to her guests.
The little children, especially those
attending schools are likewise inter-
ested. Contests between the boys
and girls as to which can sell the
largest number of seals have been
instituted in many of the towns, viii
lagos and schools. Prizes have been
offered to the child selling the most
seals.
Not only is this spirit of friendly
competition being shown among the
children. but the grown-ups are striv
ing hard in many of the towns and
cities to win one of the pennants
which the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis has offered the towns selling
the largest number of seals per capt.
ia. To avoid putting small towns
against large cities, they have been
divided into ten classes, as follows;
Population less than 600; from coo
to 1900; from 1900 to 1000; thence
to 500; thence to $4,000; thence to
$4,000; thence to 10000; thence to
100000. The State Campaign will
also probably offer a handsome silf
banner on a similar basis.
The Kentucky Red Cross Seal Cam
paign hopes that Kentucky will sell
as many seals during the campaign
this season as her sister States, but |
in order to do this every town, viii
lage and county will have to be rep
resented.

Mistaken and Illogical.

The foundation Of the successful
German world trade movement has
been the German Tariff, which
shielded German industry at home
and helped in efforts abroad. That
Tariff is the handiwork of a pain
taking, farseeing commission.
Such a commission will be at the
service of the German merchants
when the war is over, and the makers
of American Tariffs will have to
match wits with these German Tar
iff makers in the rivalry between this
country and Germany for the worlds
market.
Only q commission of the highest
caiiber, with nothing on its mind eX-
cept Tariff, will be adequate for the
work of gaining for America its fair
share of the worlds trade.-Ameri-
can Wool and Cotton Reporter.
Partly mistaken as to facts and
partly rubbish. Germany now has no
Tariff commission. and has had none
Cor about ten years. How can an
An. erican Tariff commission 10 any
thing in the matter of the worlds
naCe? 1t only function wo,..! -"
.;hould-be n see to it that Amer
Americas domestic trade is Protect
! ed against foreign competition II 1t
didn't do this it would be worse than
worthless. But that would serious
ly conflict with the realization of the
dream of greater sales of American
industrial products in world mark
cts. The very policy which restricts
competitive imports and maintains
the American wage standard must of
necessity handicap our industrialists
in the struggle to undersell Europe's
cheaper labor products in neutral
markets. When Tariff commits
sion is to be had that can figure out
how a country paying twice to twen-
ty times the wages of the rest of the
world can preserve its own market
and at the same time undersell the
rest of the world, we shall hold up
both hands for such a Tariff COM
mission.

DISPUTE IN
FORD PARTY
OVER CRITICISM OF WILSON'S
MILITARY PRE-
PAREDNESS.

n, hoard thes teamship Oscar, H.,
nv wireless. via steamship Noordam'
nee IA resolution condemning
president wilson's preparedness pol
icy brought a protest from some OIL
the prominent members of Heary
Ford's peace party last night When it
was presented for adoption. The
resolution was drawn up by the Rev.
Jenkin l.. Jones and the Rev. Charles
F. Aked and others who asked that
Il be signed by all the members of
the party as their platform.
More than a dozen members, in
GLIDING S. S. Mcclure, of New York,
and Judge Ben b. Lindsay, of Den
yer, refused to sign on the ground
that the resolution was unpatroitic.
Some of them even threatened to
leave the party after it reached Eu-
rop if the proposed platform was
nut through Its supporters said the
opponents of the resolution failed to
understand the spirit of Mr.. Ford's
invitation.
An appeal to the rulers of Europe
was sent out by wireless today, adj
dressed individually to each reigning
monarch, reading:
"Sir: We have come in this time
of trouble not to add to your bur-
dens, but to help lift them; not to
consider which nations are most to
blame for the disaster that has be-
fallen Europe, but to end the strife;
not to intrude ourselves on your ma
tional life and national ideas, but
rather with an earnest desire to I'M
derstand them and heart felt wish
to aid in realizing them.
The love of country for which
every day tens of thousands OF lives
are sacrificed is the same in every
land. Your nation, like the people
of all the other belligerent coun-
tries, is fghtiHg for its national ex-
istence and its best asiiopal tradi-
tons and so ther can be no arFecon-
cilable differences. Such common |
ideas surely must afford a basis upon |
which to establish a magnanimous |
All honorable peace.
The time has come to stop the |
btS.-.sd, to save the people from |
further slaughter and the civilization
of the world from anarchy and ruin.
Has not war been tried enough in
sixteen months of fighting? Is it not
proven that war cannot solve the
problem, but that it leads only to
loss and misery? Must lives be
crushed and wives and mothers be-
reaved before we recognize that Eu-
rope is bleeding to death and that
the greivous wound must be stanch-
ed?

TO FIGHT
FOR RURAL

DEMOCRATS WILL TRY TO

ENT SESSION

| Washington, Jan 2l.--tAlthougl

legislation for the Improvement 0
rural credits by the time congress
| adiourn's March 4, Democrats Of the
senate resumed activity today on this
subject, with a view to reporting a
bin in the near future.
| In accordance with action of the
Democratic caucus Monday night in
declaring it the sense OF senate Dem
ocrats that q rural credits system bin
should be passed at the. ."earlies prac-
ticable date, a meeting of the Bank
ing and Currency committee was call
ed today BY Chairman owen.
/ The committee will meet tomorrow
to take up particularly the bill known
In the senate as the Hollis bill, which
was framed by the Joint banking and
currency subcommittee OF the senate
and house last summer.
Some leading Democrats insisted to
d-y that an extra session OF congress
could not be avoided now. Senator
itloke Smith OF Georgia openly de-
ciared that an extra session in the
spring or summer was absolutely
certainX Believing this to be the
case, some Of the Democrats argue
that there is no necessity for immed-
late action upon appropriation bills
and are urging that rural cedits leg
sslation be taken up before March 4.
This plan will be urged at party
caucus in the near future.
President Wilson suggested, in his |
annual message, that there would not
be time for rural credits legislation at |
this session. The President told call |
ers today that it was his understand
ing that the senate Democrats did
not mean to infer that rural credits
bill should be rushed through at this
ime.
