THE CHAUTAUoUA.

The Chautauqua has come and gone.
1t has left it's indelible impress on the
community. Many valuable lessons
have been learned. More has been OBJ
tanned from it in one week than could
have been learned at one of the best
universities in the land in single term.
The average attendance was perhaps
over a thousand. These came from all
professions and walks in life and the
diffusion of this information is therefore
general and of value to the community
We will have it with us for another
year. We are on the big circuit. We
get the best. Let us patronize it more
literally next year than ever before
and in thus giving encouragement to
it, we will get from it still better
programme.

THE CHURCHES.

Rev. Mangum, of Paris, in a recent
sermon took occasion to speak plainly
against certain dance that was held
in that city, CHASING it. as highly i'm
moral. This raised a storm of protest
among those who attended and dele
CATION of citizens called on him for the
purpose of having him retract his state
ments. He stood his grounds. Then
he was severely denounced by the par
Elephants through the press of that city.
We know nothing of the facts of that
case and have nothing to say in the
same.
The churches are the foundations of
public character and they stand for all
things that are good in man or woman.
But the trouble is that they are failing
to stand out against some things that
are detrimental to the young IN the for
nation of their characters. They have
been very tolerant and have allowed
practices to creep in that are surely and
certainly undermining the churches as
teachers of the correct life and as the
moulders of character. Cards and
dancing such as is practiced in the mod
ern dance, are not conducive to the
building of a life of purity. The mod
ern dress is not just what it should be.
The tendency is to laXity In morals.
The children are to be excused for this
immodesty because they follow the eX-
annie of the mothers of the country.
You don't have to go to the ball room
to find this loud, immodest dressing
and the mannerism that is sure to tol-
low in its wake. You can see it on the
street any day. Some Of it is so dis
gustingly immodest that you wonder
how the police let them by. The church
is responsible for this to a large extent
for they submit to it without demur.
Seine of the leaders of the church are first
in cards, first in loud dressing and first
in arms in the giddy dance" Unless
the church stands out against this, 1t
will as surely as the night follows day,
undermine and destroy its usefulness.
The public is always hypercritical and
uses the time honored expression
"pluck the beam from thine own eye
before you seek to take it from ours. u"
While the church is accomplishing
much in an affirmative way, it must re-
member that it must also stand against
the small things that impair its useful
ness in the community. 1t must de-
stroy the things which contaminate it.
otherwise, it cannot properly do its
larger and greater works.
Political activity in church would
be deplored but preacher that fails to
take cognizance of the great questions
effecting the morals of the people and
fails to take firm, decided stand on
these great questions, fails to fully dis
charge his duties as leader of men
and the moulder of opinion. 1t is his
prerogative to preach good works and
he can do so without introducing in
dividual politics. Too long have they
remained silent when they should have
spoken. If they expect the politicians
to reform the manners of the people,
the reformation will never come.

STATE BANK & TRUST COMPANY
RICHMOND KENTUCKY

nually over $65,000OO a year for its
government. Counted down to the
hour, allowing eight hours for the work
ing day, the city spends $1,000 per
hour. 1t is known fact that its streets
are in the worst condition for years
The treasury is empty and they say
that they can do nothing to remedy
them.
There is something wrong. We are
not getting anything more than we did
years ago but our taxes are higher than
ever before in the history of the city
and in addition to this we are required
to list our property at a higher price
for taxation than at any time before,
though it is a well known fact that city
property has decreased in value fully
twenty-five per cent in the last few
years. Very little of it is changing
hands at any price.
The Office of councilman is very i'm
portant Office. The welfare of the city
depends on these gentlemen. Rich
mond is a good town. 1t has been
favored by nature. 1t has fine citi-
zenship and its people are cultured
people. 1t has an unusual amount of
personal wealth, more than any city of
it's size in the State. Yet, it is not the
most progressive. There is some rea-
son for this. Perhaps, 1--WE mention it
merely as suggestion it has not had
the progressive spirit. The men at the
helm of state have not seen the vision
OF the twentieth century. The meth
DDS employed by them are old, antiq-
uated, out of date.
To get the city out of its rut, new
methods must be employed and to en-
ploy new methods the best men must
be put on guard-active, energetic
men, alive to the progress of the world.
The Republican party has not made
any nominations and the men nominat-
ed at this primary will be the next
councilmen. To these men you give
the purse strings of the city treasury
and confide to them the future progress
of the city. You confide to them over
two million dollars worth of property
and the safety and well being of over
five thousand people.
The present condition of the city is a
strong and eloquent plea for reforma-
ton, reformation that will place this
good old town in the line of the TWEEN
tieth century progress.

The Lusitanial Did not our Ameri-
cans go aboard her knowing in advance
that it would be torpedoed? Fight?
For whom and what? Shall millions
of innocent Americans be sacrificed for
a sentiment? Did those who were
drowned stop to consider their own
safety? If foolhardy man who is told
to stay away from a buzz saw, persists
in putting his hand on it, to see if it is
running, is that any reason why the
mill must be destroyed or the people of
the county fly to arms to whip some
body because they did not keep the
innocent" from putting his hand on
the saw?
This is plain, blunt philosophy and its
application can easily be made.
No, we are no devoid of sentiment.
Governments are not run on sickly SEN
timentalities.
We are confronted with conditions
as well as beautiful sentiments. Our
manifest duties are to the living. We
don't want this country plunged into a
bloody war on the pretext of keeping
the high seas open to our merchant
marine. We must also remember that
there was no effort made to open the
seas to German commerce to keep Ger
mans from starving
No, we are not for Germany-we are
for AMERICA.

wHooP, HURRAH.

Years ago when the Louisiana Lot
terry had taken possession of the State
of Louisiana and directed and control
led its government, from which vicious
state of affairs the State could not free
itself, the United States government,
by a simple law came to its rescue. 1t
simply said that no mail could be de-
livered to this vicious octopus that was
sapping the life blood of that State.
The result was that the lottery disap-
peared over night and since that time
not vestige of it has been seen in that
or any other State. The work was
done SO quietly and so effectually that
the people did not realize that it had
taken place except by the result.
There was no debate, no fanfare of
political trumpets, no turmoil of the
people. 1t was destroyed root and
branch over night.
The same can be done with the
whisky traffic. That it will be done, is
certain. That it has already been start
ed, is also certain.
Neither whisky nor brandy can any
longer be classed as medi cines. The
United States government has decreed
officially that they must be dropped
from the United States pharmacopoeia,
the only official medical authority for
the government and classification Fof
medicines. Under this ruling, neither
of these liquors can now be prescribed
as medicines by physicians. Just how
far this ruling will effect local State
laws allowing physicians to prescribe
these liquors for medical purposes, does
not appear, but inashuch as they are
no longer medicines, it would seem that
a physician cannot prescribe as a medi-
cine something that the highest author
ity in the land has declared not to be q
medicine. Also, it will prevent drug
gists in those places, where, under the
State laws, druggist can now legally
sell liquors as medicines, from so doing
In other words, whisky and brandy are
tabooed from the lists of medicines and
along with this order will go that dis
reputable class of quacks who under
take to make a living by selling pre-
scriptions for the same.
1t is great victory for right. Hur-
rahl

EFFECTS of Gold Mnnthcr

Farmers expect a decrease in egg
yield with the cold weather. A drop
IN temperature, especially when ac-
companled by wind, affects hens just
as II affects cows In their milk yield.
The Storrs experiment station says
Of the hens in the laying contest:
THE continued cold weather last
week seems to have temporarily
checked the production. While the
yield Of l,I92 eggs for all pens was
l44 eggs less than the yield for the
preceding week. it Is relatively 1865
eggs more than tho yield for the cor
responding week last year This tenn
porary drop In production has been
due to the lower yield Of the lighter
breeds They seemed unable to
weather the protracted cold snap as
well as the Rocks, Reds and Wyan-
dottes. The heavier breeds more than
held their own during the past week.
while the Leghorns and Campines
laid nearly 200 eggs less than they
did In the preceding week. OF the
six best pens for the week, only one
is of Leghorns. IL Is believed, never
