President Wilson Urges The
Election of Stanley.

Presidsn Woodrow Wilson is urging
the election of Hon. A. o. Stanley for
Governor of Kentucky On October 20
he sent the following letter to Senator
Ollie James expressing his interest in
the Kentucky campaign and his earnest
desire for the election of Mr.. Stanley:
1.-The White House, Washington,
Oct. 20. 1915 My Dear Sanator: I
have been following with the greatest
interest the progress of the campaign
in Kentucky and am very much inter-
ested to observe what just grounds of
confidence the party has of success IN
your great State. My own association
with Mr.. Stanley has given me an i'm
preston of strength, capacity, intelli-
gence and Integrity. which makes me
feel that his election as Governor of the
State will constitute triumph to which
the party can look with SPECIAL pride,
because it is always matter of pride
70 serve great State by putting the
vory best man at her disposed for public
service.
will you convey TO Mr.. Stanley my
warmest good wishes and my confident
hopes for his complete auccess2 Cor
daily and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson,
President Wilson need not entertain
any fears for the defeat OF Mr. Stanley
and the entire. Democratic ticket, as the
people OF Kentucky are going TO pile up.

BUILDING GOOD ROADS

More than 80 counties in Ken
lucky are actually at work building
roads under state supervision and
with state aid. Twenty other coun-
ties have asked for and been grant
ed such aid and are now preparing
to begin work. The statewide road
building movement is on in earnest,
and it is here to stay.
At the two penitentiaries, at
Frankfort and Eddyville, there are
1000 men convicts. A large pro-
portion of that number are ply
sically capable of working on the
roads. Instead of being so worked,
they are let out to prison con-
tractors at an annual loss to the
state.
At the coming election, a consti-
tutional amendment to work the con-
victs on the roads is to be voted on.
1t has been twice submitted by the
General Assembly and once adopt
ed by the people. That adoption
was nullified by failure to adver-
tise the amendment within the pre-
scribed 80 days. The necessary adj
vertising has now been done. The
whole question is in the hands of
the voters, and both political par
ties have declared for adoption
In their state platforms.
The prison contractor is opposed
to adoption. 1t will put an end to
his profits. Organized labor is a
unit on wanting to see the amend
ment adopted. 1t will put an end
to convict competition with free
labor. 1t will put men at work on
the roads where there is now a
scarcity of labor.
In the state of Virginia, it was
found that convict labor effected
saving of $1,000 mile in the cost
of building roads. In a score of
other states, where this labor is
used, it has been demonstrated that
roads can be built with contract
labor at half the cost of free labor.
Convict labor on the roads has
proved good for the state and good
for the convict 1t has helped him
physically and morally. It has, in
many instances, restored him to
good citizenship. and a convict re-
stored to good citizenship is an
asset; convict released to follow
life of crime is liability.
If Kentucky wants the advantages
that come from convict labor on
the roads, all that will be necessary
will be to vote Yes for the amend
ment. If Kentucky prefers to let
the prison contractor get richer at
her expense by continuing in effect
a system of slavery, the amendment
will be defeated.
But the voter who goes to the
polls and fails to vote on the amend
ment will overlook an opportunity
to do his county and the state good
service.

Its our dollar and WE NEED 1T
The Hamlet Voucher.

Republicans are making great capital
out of the voucher which Barksdals
Hamlett, Superintendent of Public In
struction, received for the sum of $3.50
from the taxpayers of Kentucky for
expenses incurred at the Palmer House
in Paducah last May, when his hotel
bill was said to have been only 50 90.
For the sake of argument we will
admit this is absolutely true. We will
also admit that everything the RepublI
cans have alleged in this campaign is
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
bun the truth.
If the Democrats are as black as they
have been painted by the Republicans,
the record of the Democratic party in
Kentucky is like bottle of clear,
sparkling water beside bottle of mid
night ink, The bottle of clear water
represents the record of the Democratic
party and the midnight ink represents
the record of the Republican party,
Turn the searchlight on the past; go
back to the years when Governor Brad
lep was in the executive chair; turn
yonr attention for few minutes to the
time when W. S. Taylor was at Frank
fort; take into consideration the great
amount of the taxpayers money squan-
dered upon a lawless mob; behold an
empty public treasury, depleted by
wanton graft; gaze upon the lifeless
form of a matchless defender and
champion of the peoples rights, his
life being shifted out by an assassin
bullet tlred from the Capital Building
which was presided over by the Repub-
lican party; refresh your memory Of the
time when the militia paraded the
streets, under orders of a Republican
Governor. aud then tell US, Mr.. Voter,
If you indorse these things. Look the
record of the Democratic party over and
see if you can find parallel in all its
history wherein it so deFrauded. dis
graced and bankrupted the State as dur
ing the Republican regime at Frankfort.
If you can. then our advisce to you is to
vote the Republican ticket from top TO
bottom.

Martha Washington's Will

The will of Martha Washington has
been presented to the State of Virginia,
by ]. Pierpont Morgan. In his letter,
Mr.. Morgan insisted on the absolute
right of possession as maintained by his
father and later by himself, through
the purchase of the Martha Washington
will, but he disposes of the suit brought
against him by the Commonwealth OF
Virginia in the United States Supreme
Court, by returning the document to
Virginia on patriotic grounds and be-
cause of his admiration for The people
and traditions of Virginia. The will
was drawn in 1900, probated in 1902.
and stolen from the archives of Fairfax
county in 1863 by Federal soldier.

Some people knock the poor old world;
And say it's getting worse;
Some long for golden gates impearled;
As per the Sculpture verse;
But this world is what you make it,
And despite old Adams fall,
Somehow it seems good old world
To live in. after all.
There may be. lots of shadders here,
And sorrow all around,
But if you are looking for good cheer,
There's plenty to be found;
There's the music of The waters,
And the bobolink's glad call,
And somehow, IT'S coed old world
To live in. after all.
OF all Gods creatures man alone
Is sad and discomfort.
And seems TO think he ought to own
The whole big armament.

And beasts and things that crawl
Believe that it's good old world
To live in, after all.

WELCOME RAIN

A sweeping rain fell here the
past week, just hesitating long
enough between spasms to give
the Wayfaring man time to wend
his way homeward.
During the first day Monday, the
rain fell in torrents, the moisture
being largely absorbed, but the
water that made the farmers glad
came down Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, totaling about two
inches.
Young alfalfa and other pro-
ducts were greatly benefited by
the down pour, while the growth
of all of the dry land crops will
be greatly accelerated, scarcely
anything will be damaged.
AS a result of the most favor
able spring on record, banner
crops will be the rule throughout
this section unless all signs fail.
