The following taken from the Cou-
,ier-Journal applies also to Ohio
county. Many small bass were TAX
en- from Ohio county streams last
Spring. several from Rough River at
Hartford. OF course, we can't keep
these small bass off our hooks, but
we can put them back into the
stream They will recover when
put back Immediately and in years
to come make big fish. A law to
this effect should not be necessary.
Every man should have enough
sportsman's blood in his veins to do
so voluntarily:
ITO the editor of the Courier
Journal: While spending few
weeks in the eastern part of your
State last October / did some fishing,
in both the northern and middle
branches of the Kentucky River.
There was one thing ! noticed that
shocked me somewhat, as a sports
man from Missouri, and that was
the custom that prevailed among the
people of that part of your State in
taking from the streams small bass,
some not over five inches in length,
and using them for food. Have you
no law in your State to protect your
fish? II this kind of a thing shall
be permitted you will soon have no
game fish in your creeks and rivers.

Republican Banquet.

The dinner to be given Friday ev-
ening next by the Lincoln Protective
Club of Louisville will bring together
a notable assemblage of Kentucky
Republicans and will give opportun-
ity for a free and useful interchange
of opinion by party leaders from all
over the State.
In the afternoon preceding the ban
quet the State Central Committee
will meet at the headquarters in the
Great Southern Building and deter
mine the date and the place for hold
ing the platform convention.
1t is anticipated that active party
men from every Congressional dis
trict will meet with the members of
the State Central Committee and
counsel with them regarding a num-
Der of subjects which require atten-
ton at this time.
The intention TO have a platformm
convention prior to the State pri-
mary has constantly gained in favor
with the party generally. No sub
stantial political advantage can be
gained by the Republicans by deferr-
ing the date of holding their platform
convention.
The position which the party must
take with respect to the liquor ques-
tion is only thing which promises
to lead to a serious difference of
opinion among the delegates to the
convention, and this difference will
be no greater before than il would
be after the primary. II this issue
is likely to lead to embarrassing par
ty divisions, the sooner the conven-
tion is held the better II will be for

HISS AT The
NAME OF BRYAN
Neu,r atty Gathering at Chicago
Condemns Attitude Of Ad-
ministration.


New York, president of the Ameri-
can Truth Society, to-day denounced
England, criticised America and
pleaded for Germany at a mass meet
ing of the American Neutrality
League, of which the avowed pur-
pose was the promotion of peace.
His mention of William Jennings
Bryan brought forth Kisses, and Jen-
kin Lloyd Jones, pastor of All Souls
church. arose and declared he would
leave the platform unless neutrality
were preserved. The meeting was
one of the largest ever held in the
city, a great percentage of the au-
dience being Germans.
II believe it was right in this hall
that William Jennings Bryan, our
gifted Secretary of State. proclaim
ed that the Republican party was try
ing to cruelty the people of this
country upon a cross of gold" Mr..
O'Leary said. "He now is trying to
cruelty the fatherlands of more
than $4,000, 200 of our people upon a
cross of British gold"
Chairman Jones introduced Frank
Buchanan, a labor leader, scheduled
as neutral speaker" with the
proviso that "he may present him
self to you if he chooses to take his
life in his hands"
Mr.. Buchanan was met with boots
and catcalls when he defended the
sincerity of purpose of Mr.. Bryan.
while / may not agree with the
Secretary of State" he said, do
believe in his sincerity in his work
for peace, and l believe he will be
able to do some work that will be
valuable. You are not going to make
progress by appealing to prejudice. "
Mr.. Jones. who had been asked to
act as chairman, arrived half an
hour late. When he reached the
Coliseum he found the sidewalk lin
ed by men selling banners bearing
pictures of the German Emperor and
the German eagle. {
O'Leary was speaking, rOundly APP
plauded, when Jones entered the hall.
German banners were hanging from
the galleries. American flags were
outnumbered.
Jones pleaded for a place for the
Allies flag.
Where is the rose of England"
he demanded. why is the French
flag not there? Where is the Rus
sian flag?"
"Put them all there, / say. II this
is pro-German and an anti-British
meeting-and mind you. my attitude
would be the same IL it were pro-
British and anti-German-I have no
place here and respectfully beg leave
to withdraw"
Before the arrival of Chairman
Jones the meeting adopted the dec
laration of the principles of neutral
ity adopted at Washington at a con-
ference of various organizations, as
we'll as formal resolutions advocating
the prohibition of the export of arms,
ammunition and munitions of war,
calling for the national control of
the manufacture of weapons, and
for peace and harmony in the promo
ton of neutrality without arOusing
antimosities. The resolutions de-
precated the use of airships as a
means of dropping bombs or other
missiles of destruction on unfortifed
and non-militant communities.

II is no use to cuss the farmer be-
cause of the high price of -four. He
has no hand in IT, The high price
for wheat came on after he had sold
at 20 cents. There is no excuse for
the high price either. Very little
has as yet gone abroad.

the organization.

Further, IL the Republican party
nominees this fall are to command
and be worthy of the respect and con-
fidence of the voters of the State
they must stand squarely upon plat
form which indicates a purpose on
the part OF its supporters to deal
frankly, candidly and courageously
with the people and with every is
sue about which they are concern
ed.
A platform which is technically de-
signed to 1T every side of any ques-
ton. and the chief object of which
is to elect certain men TO office re-
CARELESS of their fitness and with no
reference to the demand for LESS
politics and more business" in Ken
lucky, will not and should not in
spire respect or gain support for its
defenders.
The Republicans of Kentucky had
better go down to defeat in Novem-
Der with good men and an honest
platform than to win with nominees
and with party declaration put for
ward to secure votes for mere Office
seekers.
There has been too much office
seeking and not enough statesman
ship in Kentucky in recent years and
the people are getting tired of selfish
politicians.
Take a glance at the situation at
Frankfort even now.
The Lieutenant Governor is a can
didate for Governor. The Auditor
is a candidate for Governor. The
Treasurer is a candidate for Auditor.
The Commissioner of Agriculture is
a candidate for Governor. The SUI
perintendent of Public Instruction is
a candidate for Secretary of State.
Doubtless other announcements will
come later.
If there is a single achievement of
the present administration at Frank
fort, of which all of these gentlemen
have been a part, to which they can
point to a reason why any one of
them should be promoted to higher
offices the have up to this time
signally failed to convince anyone
of that fact.
During the past three years the
business interests of the State have
been harassed and annoyed by vicious
or ill-considered legislation, Offices
have been multiplied, the public funds
have been squandered, the States
Indebtedness has accumulated, and
scandals and frauds have compelled
grand juries and courts to bring
prominent State officials before them
for alleged criminal misconduct by
them or their subordinates.
At this time important officials who
should be attending to duties which
they are paid to discharge and which
they swore to discharge to the best
Of their ability. are not only consum-
ing their own time. but often the
time Of their subordinates, perfect
ing their Organizations"
One gentleman declares he is GER
tain to win, not because of his emf
nent ability, or on account of distin-
guished service rendered to his State
AS used to be the case-but be-
cause all of the county officials OF a
certain class are "for him."
1t is for the Republicans of Ken
lucky this year to show by the man
ner of men they nominate. and by
the candor and frankness of their
platform utterances that "office" is
not the sole aim and end of their am
billions, but rather that they have
a desire to render conspicuous and
useful service to their State.
If they but do this there will be
no doubt about the result in Novem-

There are two national crimes OF

necessary safeguards against aggres-

present belligerents have settled their
scores with the sword, there will be
other scores to be settled between
the victors and the neutral nations.
Differences between the warning and
the neutral powers-which. in time of
peace, might produce very strained re-
lations or precipitate war-may now
be lightly passed over as mere dis
courtesies. But after the war, some
of the acts of the neutrals that at
present seem quite insignificant may
be magnified to advantage as casus
belli. 1t is my opinion that, which
over side wins. the United States will
likely have to fight the winner with
