William Jennings Bryan, The Idea
Citizen" is the title of well written,
fair minded article in the Elizabeth
town News by Harry Summers, Sum-
ming up the career and public life OF
Bryan he closes by saying;
II do not write this in justification OF
MIR. Bryan's resignation but rather in
extenuation. He appears to be in the
wrong now, but time may demonstrate
that he was right. BE that as it may;
w. j. Bryan, as Christian. without
guile or hypocricy, has done more for
the cause of Christ in the world than
any preacher.
He is a moralist, who has done more
to raise the standard of life both by
precept and example than any other
living man.
He is an orator who will rank in the
class with the greatest of the English
speaking nations.
He is total abstsiner who has done
more against the evils of intemperance
than all the laws against liquor ever
enacted.
He is statesman who has broken
the grasp Of predatory wealth upon the
Threats of the common people.
In every particular and in all ways
he is the Ideal Citizen of the Republic. "

publican party but likewise Is the
democratic party. And it is now very
apparent that those democratic politi-
clans who laid their plans for holding
control Of the democratic organization
by fight to induce the party to adopt
Statewide Prohibition and abandon the
County Unity law will be as much dis
appointed as those republicans who are
fighting along the same line. This is a
severe blow to McChesney's candidacy
for Governor, who had but one plank in
his proposed platform and this is State
wide Prohibition. Thousands of en-
thusiastc temperance advocates. who
are democrats, know that with the
united republican party behind Edward
p. Morrow running upon a County
Unit platform and with McChesney the
democratic nominee upon a Statewide
platform would result in the over
whelming defeat Of McChesney and
such disruption Of the democratic
party that it would take years to heal.
MeChesney's defeat at the polls for
the nomination will be about in the
same proportion that the Statewide
advocates were at the Republican con
vention at Lexington.

A BLlSSFUL BIRTH
DAY PARTY

Miss Diana the seven year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. Rice Woods, cashier of the
Peoples Bank. Paint Lick. Ky, treat
ed her Juvenile friends to a birthday
party last Wednesday evening.
At the palatial residence of her grand
father, Mr.. f. l.. Woods there were
three long tables placed out ON the
beautiful lawn and were filled with all
kind of sweet meats and delicaeies.
Miss Diana, this unusual intelligent
child said, that she invited fifty of her
friends and they all accepted their in
vltations and not one failed to attend.
Madames Rice Woods, 4. l.. Woods,
II. L, Patrick, James Woods and Louis
Quinn took particular caution TO see
that these youngsters appetites were
appeased.
Miss Matte Woods made herself very
useful as well as ornamental by play
ing and teaching them innocent games,
which seemed to please them very much
from the way they eneohred her with
their cheerful talk and laughter.
Miss Sallie Woods, who always does
the right thing. at the right time, was
the artist for this joyful occasion. No
doubt but what she will make fine pic
lures as she had good subjects to draw
from. She placed these American
Beauties all in bunch and took their
pictures. These little boys and girls
who were all clad in white, wore bright
faces and glad hearts, which signifed
their purity, beauty and innocence, and
it was grand living picture" to
behold.
Miss Diana, the little queen Of the
feast. received several gifts or tokens
of friendship from her little angelic
friends, which seemed to please her
very much and she was very thankful
for them as her factions spoke almost
as loud as her words"

MAN DEAD

Alex Harris worthy colored citizen
died at his home last Saturday night of
Bright's disease after an illness Of
several months.
He was a devodt member of the
Baptist church and was buried Sunday
afternoon in the colored cemetery.
Uncle Alex" as he was familiarly
known, will be missed by both white
and black. That he was the janitor of
the National Bank for 26 consecutive
year attests his honesty and faithful
ness. We are told that in all Of these
years he never'missed day from his
post of duty or was he ever tardy.
Truly may it be said of him. ''well

EDW. MORROW
Nominated For Governor By Republicans
AT Lexington.

Edwin p. Morrow Of Somerset. was
nominated Governor by the Republi-
can State Convention assembled at
Lexington Tuesday. A County Unit
and Womans' Suffrage plank was
adopted in the platform, but state
wide prohibition was badly defeated.
An amendment for state wide offered
by Judge 0'Rear was lost by vote of
2,lOi to l66, so the Judges trip around
the state with Mr. Beckham seems to
have had very little effect on his party.

There is great enthusiasm existing
now among the farmers in this locality
in the successful cultivation of the
alfalfa crop. The first experiment with
the crop was made six or seven years
ago, which proved unsuccessful and dis
couraging. But the planting three or
four years since has proven that our
farmers have mastered the art and we
have number of fields from which the
owners are cutting three and four crops
of hay each year of the very finest feed
that can be had for the growth and
health of stock. Some of these crops
are making as much as a ton and a
half per acre from each cutting. Not
only Is the crop one of the most pro-
fiti.ble that can be grown but it is a
fine fertilizer and builder of the soil
Those who nave been MOST Successful
In producing alfalfs. have sowed the
land u COW peas about May LIST and cut
the peas for hay about August LIST and
after preparing thorough seed bed and
the land treated from two to eight tons
of crushed limestone per acre and about
peck of of seed which has been in
oculated with the alfalfa bacteria,
should be sown. Few farmers who
have followed this plan have failed.
This is crop that is well worth any
farmers time and attention and We hope
in few years to see it as generally
planted by our farmers as the red
clover crop is now.

Thefe are not enough bills drawn by
Europe against New York to offset
the bills which are being drawn by our
manufacturers, and England is not
sending gold here in sufficient Quantity
TO balance the account. hence the glut
of sterling bills among the Wall Street
banks and the decline to their value to
4.76a, the lowest record of forty years.
Par for sterling is 4.S6s. Ordinarily
a fiuctuation of two points, say to
4. SAG, would inaUgurate a gold flow
from England to New York. This
weeks low level showed a decline of
ten points in exchange, and yet only
few from Canada.
With Europe's purchases running at
the present unprecedented rate and
with foreign exchange at its present
low level, one of three things must
happen; First England must send us
gold, for she is financing the allies;
second. if gold is not sent here Eng
land must establish credits through a
formal loan or through private bank
ing operations. Third, if gold is not
shipped or If credits are not arranged
England, France and Russia must sell
back TO US some of the 81, 600, 900, 900 of
our industrial ard railway bonds and
stocks which for generations have been
accumulated by foreign countries.
Shrewd bankers in this country have
believed from the very outbreak of the
war that sooner or later Europe will
balance its accounts with us by heavy
sale of our securities. As matter of
fact, that selling began months before
the outbreak of the war on August
last, and has been going on steadily. IL
is evident. however, from this week 5

There is one important thing of which
this city stands in dire need. We need

zation with n backbone of steel. some
one to take the lead and keep the lead
and push the lead away up to the front
rank Of progressiveness.
We could make this town so clean il
would be household word throughout
this whole section of country-if we
wanted to.
But We never want to unless some
one takes the lead. and pulls of his
coat, and gets down to cleaning up his
own premises. and injects the cleanup
spirit in others.
But who's going to take the lead?
Are you?
There need be no expense to keep
ing clean town-just a matter Of
every fellow keeping his own place
just little cleaner than the others.
and all hands pushing the authorities
along IN the matter of polishing up the
public places.
BY all means let's have a civic pride
organization with every member con-
shutting himself leader and trying to
Guido everybody else in community
cleanliness and beauty.
