liamsburg next Monday. At the
close of our court here in Knox
County, February 9Th, Judge
Sampson went on the Monday
following and convened court in
McCreary County for two weeks
Term, finishing his court there
this week.
The docket of each OF his
courts is being rapidly cleard up.
There are no important murder
cases as of former days, and
very few felony charges to try.
The Judge with the assistance Of
our able and fearless Common
wealth's Attorney, with the as
sistance also of a good County
Attorney in each of the Counties
of the District is gradually but
surely reducing the number of
petit crimes and misdemeanors.
Judge Sampson is a terror to law
violators, yet as everyone knows,
who has been in his courts, he is
just as vigilent to see that the
innocent man escapes punish
ment as he is to have the guilty

that speech Zone of the seven
greatest of oratorical achievement
there radiated from his head
sparks of moving light. Let ir-
reverent people jeer at this, let
them jeer at the infant lips of
George Washington when he
said, Il cannot speak a lie" but
they are truths that children can
understand,
To speak as these men spoke
was to defy their mother country
and thereby rend their own hearts
and it meant apparently nothing
less than death but their words
had to come. Each and every
one lived up to the best in their
nature and if it was only one deed
one hour or one day they served
their makers purpose and their
Country's need, let us be chart
table to all and remember them
with love for the good they did
do-even that hero of Saratoga
who so CALAMITY rode the black
horse times unnumbered through
the black jaws of death and yell
ed from the top of the sleeps to
his General below Saratoga is
saved" How glorious to hear
the voice of Webster eXclaim
Give me a country, at least the
hope Of a country, and that a
Free country"
1t remained to George Wash
ington TO combine all the separ-
ate virtues into one and present
to the world character which
was above political temptation, a
character which was a blessing
to humanity and mutely declared
to the world 1t is better to be a
man than king. 1t was then
that the starry eyed goddess of
Democracy was born and the Re-
publican form of Government
arose above the battle smoke of
the valleys and the mountains
and the clear starry heavens de-
clared the brotherhood of of man.
The words of Henry Lee declare
of Washington, The first in war
the first in peace and the first in
the hearts of his Countrymen. "
l repeat there has never been a
time that it was not good for us
to remember George Washington
and there never has been a time
when we need his example and
advice more than TO day. War
enveloped Europe in front of US,
war enveloped Canada above US,
war enveioped Mixico south of
us; this is assuredly a time when
trivials should be forgotten and
we should let this be a day when
the hearts of all the people beat
as one.

George Washington

1.-The great Republic had it's birth
That hour beneath the Army's
wing,
Whose leader taught by native
worth

There never has been a time
since the days of the great COM
prehensive Washington when ii
was not good for us to remember
him and his preeminent charac-
ter and to treasure the memory
of the part he and our ancestors
bore in their united struggle for
National Independence.
1t is well that this day, 1.-THE
22, of February has been set
apart as a national holiday for
the purpose OF refreshing our
minds and showing our deep sense
of the value and Importance of
their achievements.
1t is well to remember it with
thanks to the Giver of all good
gifts, to the Ruler of the desti-
MES of nations, from whose wis
dom George Washington and the
parrots received guidance and
power TO inspire each-other.
His was day when true politics
was enlarged morality. His was
a When the hearts of the
people beat as one. Aggression
began the Revolution, necessity
unsheltered the sword and victory
returned it,"
An act of congress made George
Washington the commander of
the American Army. He became
our bulwark and our fortress.
He took upon his shoulders, in
the possible and very probable
case of disaster and ruin, our
ignominy and punishment. His
great honest and self sacrificing
nature his spotless character and
true nobility inspired his coun-
trymen with the best and first
sentiments of their own natures,
How glorious it is to recall the
eventful history and hear the in
spired voice of James Otis sound
the key note of resistance when
he says, II will resist to the hour
of death such injustice" To hear
the call to arms of Patrick Henry

Discusses Prohibition
KnoXfork. KY.
February II, 1916

general discussion through tne
columns of our paper, of the Ii.
quor traffic with reference to
statewide prohibition and if my
few remarks are printable ] will
say that am not the least bit
embarrassed to stand upon, not
only statewide, but national pro-
hibition.
Not that ] am condeming the
''county-unit"; no sir, far from
it, but q child has to crawl be-
fore it can walk. SO we must
let that be our first step toward
something better, and while the
county unit bill was a gre5
stride toward eliminating this
great curse yet we must not sit
down ana say ali is done, but let
us strive to get our Legislators to
pass an act, submitting to the
people the question of Statewide
prohibition.
! do not see what argument
those who advocate the maniac
ture and sale of intoXicants can
bring to their defensa, for it
seems to me a very one sided
question.
Some of those on the other
side say that it is the medical
properties that makes it useful,
but NO, the medical fraternities
and societies of the United
States have marked alcohol and
whiskey off their list as medicine
claiming that it has no medical
value whatever.
Also some people say that we
should keep the booze with
US, because of the revenues it|
pays to the State. Well let's see
about that. Figures show that
the cost of keeping our prisons,
asylums, and criminal institu-
tons, together with criminal
prosecutions of the courts, 81
500, 600 each year. And great
judges and jurists say that at
least 80 per cent of the crimes, |
insanity and pauperism can he
traced to the Liquor traffic. l..
that be true, it can be readily
seen that to take 50 per cent of
81, 800, 600 would equal to 81, 900, .
600 extra expense incurred to the
State. And as the whiSkey and
liquor revenue from all sources .
is only 100000 | fail to see
where the revenue is that would
be on the credit side of the
State treasury.
The saloon men say that State
prohibition will not eradicate all
illicit distilling and moonshining;
neither does sending a person to
the gallows or electric chair pro- |
hibit an occasional murder being
committed. Yet we do know |
that State wide prohibition |
would reduce all lawlessness to a
minimum, and our executive |
officials would have more time
and could more easily locate, all
blind tigers and bootleggers.
1t has been said that 6 per
cent interest on the forty million .
dollars booze bill of Kentucky .
would in one year pay off the
State Indebtedness.
Marion Hughs, the author said
he believed that He'll was divided
into departments commencing at
the top and running down, a
man who had committed q few
little sins would be in the top
row, and men a little worse
would be one section lower, and
murderers were livery deep down
according to his theory. And ii
that be true. | believe that the
men who manufactures and sells
alcohol and whiskey are the
deepest in Torment.

IMPORT SHIRTS FROM JAPAN
Japanese Salesman Takes Orders In
United States and Goods Are
Made Up In Orient.

A Japanese salesman is making the
rounds Of New York city soliciting or
ders for shirts. He carries line Of
samples, takes measurements, writes
orders, directions, ETC., and the maids
in a factory somewhere in Japan make
up the goods. The finished shirts
cross the Pacific and are carried on
the transcontinental railroads to the
buyer.
The Japanese are pushing the bust
ness rapidly, and inasmuch as the
tariff law cut the duty on these goods
40 per cent, our Asiatic competitors
see great possibilities in this method
of getting into the American market
as the wages paid in Japan are about
onetwelfth those paid In the United
States, declares the Albany IN. ~
Journal.
This salesman is a pioneer in what
may become a widely ramif1ed bust.
ness under the noses of American
manufacturers. He pays no rent or
taxes. Every shirt coming into this
country In this manner displaces and
prevents the sale of a shirt made In
America and displaces just so much
American labor. And without tariff
safeguards this trade with Japan Is
bound tc develop to the detriment OF
all concerned In the industry here.

make 1t possible for school districts
to vote 12-mill tax for educational

he would campaign the state in
behalf of the amendment If he were
