Is Doing a Large and Increasing
Business-Work is of a High
0rder-Prices Cheap.

One of the professions that has
made great strides in the last few
years owing to the strict laws that
have been passed is plumbing. A
few years ago little attention was
paid as to how our houses were pip
ed, etc, and as long as pipes did
not leak or get stopped up we were
satisfied. Now plumbing has be-
como one of the most important
parts of house and only skilled
workmen are allowed to install our
plumbing. Among the best in this
line in Mt. Sterling is Mr.. Il. F..
Gray, manager of the l.. Gray shop.
Having had years Of experience
under master plumbers he is thor
oughly equipped to do work in the
most modern way and guarantees
his work to be second to none.
The shop is located on Bank street
in the Sutton Cockrell building and

George Osborne. of Russell. Ky,
subject of this sketch, was born IN
Lawrence county, o., January 9th,
1864, and was educated in the com
mon schools of Ohio and Kentucky.
His father moved to Grccnup county,
Kentucky, when George was about
fifteen years of age and he has
been resident of the Great Blue
Grass State ever since. Being the
son of poor parents he got his edu-
cation and start in life by his own
efforts mainly, and like so many
other good American men was
raised on hard work. After at
taing his manhood he began work
for the c. & o Railway, and was
one of its trusted employees for a
number of years. About eleven
years ago he resigned his position
with the c. 4 o. Railway and engag-
ed in the general merchandise bust
ness in the town of Russell. Ky.
and is still so engaged.
In politics he is Il Republican,
and always has been; believing the
principles of that party the best
for our country. He is "A thorough
Christian gentleman, free from all
bad habits, and is keenly alive to
the best interests of his community
and State and nation. He espous-
ed the cause of the Republican
party back in the sos and when it
was not the most popular thing to
do and ever since that time has
been working for its good, with no
wish of personal reward.
At the earnest solicitation of hun
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-07-28

dreds of his friends he has con-
~entcd to become candidate for
Lieutenant Governor on his party's
ticket in the coming State campaign
and herewith submits his name for
that high office to the wishes Of his
party. If nominated and elected the
common people will have n strong
advocate in him for he is one of
them and every man be he rich or
poor, will get square deal. He
will bring to the Office of Lieuten-
ant Governor if elected the same
level headed business ideas and prin-
cipleo that have made him so sue
cessful in his private enterprises
and will be given the Common
wealth a thorough business mans
administration. On all moral
questions he has always been found
on the right side, yet he is not
bigoted or narrow in his views and
so does not expect every man to
see all questions as he himself does.
In short, the writer firmly believes
that the honesty, fairness and big
heartedness of George Osborne TAX
Ell with his many other fine qualities,
make him the very best and safest
man the Republican party can
nominate for Lieutenant Governor
and so urges all Republicans to
give him their heartiest support

We are confident that the Repub-
Leans of this district will give Mr..
Osborne's claims due consideration
after reading the above tribute to
him.

SUPPLIES THE WAR PROBLEM

For England the question OF men for the armies has been supplanted
by that OF material The chancellor of the exchequer referred to the
part played by artillery in recent encounters.
He must have had in mind the fighting around Neuve Chapele,
where the British success, by all accounts, a largely through a
concentration of heavy gun FIRE which probably has had no parallel in
the al unless it be during the last phases of General Won Hindenburgs
attempt o break through the Russian lines south of the Vistula in Jam
uary. For the purpose Of attack the big gwn is essential If the Allies
are ever to break through the German line it must be through a mon
strous concentration of heavy shot against a comparatively narrow front.

HAS QUIT PAYING BILLS

West Virginia has declared a moratorium. With no funds in the
state treasury the state auditor has suspended the honoring of drafts.
All state officers, from the governor down, will not be paid for
probably three months; all building under construction will be halted,
and all supplies for institutions cannot be bought for cash.
One Of the big drains on the state which brought the financial crisls
to a head vas the expense of the regular and. extra sessions of the legis-
ilature. The regular session cost at least $4,000 and the extra session
$4,000. Added to this was $4,000 postage. The printing bill was also
large.
The situation will be partially relieved IN July 1st when the state
funds will be replenished by payment of taxes and other revenues
The main cause is the loss Of more than 100000 revenue annually
from liquor licenses due to the state going dry. Many easures were
presented to the legislature providing for taxes to make up the deficit
but nothing could be done.

part of the appropriation bill, including that TO. the state militia, which

declared it to be Engiand's duty to

The parts Of the doctors address
that in particular offended the press
were these:
If We are going to act as al
Christian nation we are bound to
apply to Germany the principle of
Christian charity on a scale to which
we have never risen before. Our
obligation is SO to act that the Ger
man hatred of us shall be removed:
that sixty million fellow creatures
should be saved from the ruin of
a poisoned mind. IF. at the end OF
the war we say we are not going
to part with a single inch OF terri
tory or :: single privilege. all I can.
say is we are abandoning the prin-
ciple of Christianity"
At the end OF the war, DR. Lyttle-
ton explained, Germany will be filed
with vindictive wrath against Eng
land To avert this, England must
prove kind and generous. Germans
believe that the English preach NOR

offers to give up some possession for
a reason that she is trying to en-
force on others she would be
charged with .consummate hypoc-

should be internationalized, but in
making that proposal England should
couple it with a promise to interna-

thought. he added:
