Washington, Jan. S.-When ii
comes to connections used as a sub
stitute for liquor by the inhabitants
of many sections of the country
where statutory prohibition prevails,
officials of the Internal Revenue
Bureau are not easily shocked. To-
day, however, there was genuine
amazement over drink recipe fig

sinners got into a quarrel with the
result that one went into court and
exposed the business secrets of the
other Here is the recipe for the lat

Bowling Green, KY, Jan. TO-
The police records of Bowling Green
the past two years throw some inter
esting statistics relative to dry town

In 1918 the total arrests for
drunkenness were 397. This was the
last year of the saloons, which went
out on May /, 1914. The arrests for
drunkenness in 1914 We're 22S, and

rests for drunkenness in these two
years were less than the total ar
rests for all misdemeanors in 1913,
which were $50.

In speech to Republicans in
caucus at Frankfort, Edwin p.
Morrow, whom Gov. Stanley defeat
ed for Governor, said it was the,
duty of every Republican in the
Legislature to vote for every good
measure presented by the Demo-
Gratis. His idea is that partisanship
should not obscure ideas of good
government. you should use every
endeavor of mind, heart and brain
to pass fair redistricting bill" he
said. "You should stand by the col
lective wisdom of this body; adher-
ence to it is a test of your fidelity
to the Republican party" These

Gov. Stanley's message to the
Kentucky Legislature was of a dis
tinctly different" type. No paper of
its kind very much like it has ever
been given out. 1t is business all
the way through. Disdaining parti-
san appeal, yet it speaks for abso-
lutte adherence to party platform
and a firm carrying out of all re-
forms to which it commits itself.
Economy in expenditures for State

appeal is made to men of all parties
to assist in this very laudable work.
In fact, it is addressed to the Legis-
lature as one man to assist in good
government for all the people.

The tariff balloon of the Repub-

trying to blow full of gas, is about
to collapse. That the country. up to
a few months ago, passed through a
season of hard times, no one will
deny. That it has lately recovered
and prosperity is overspreading the
country, no well posted person will
refuse to acknowledge. And bear in
mind that the same tariff has been
and is in operation all this time. 1t
has not been changed nor altered in
any way nor suspended for a min
ute. 1t is a sane tariff and operates
well. The Republicans could not
get up better one.
