Now, what do you think about that:
The man is lonely, bless your heart, be-
cause he thinks at all. We are getting
in the habit of letting other people
think for us, and of letting the govern
ment do everything for us. 1t is dan
gerous. A big centralized government
was the cause Of the downfall Of some
of the big empires of the past, and we
are getting away from the good old
doctrine promulgated and preached by
the founders of this republic. We need
to HE back and secure our moorlngs
and find out where we are at. It's a
fact, and you may laugh at me for say
ing so, but some day the one who takes
time to look back over the files of the
aid Herald and News will admit that 1
was not such a bad dreamer after all.

When house floor is covered
with filth all decent and self ne
speeding people get broom and
commence to sweep.
Mexico is the house floor toda,
and the United States is the man
with the broom. 1t is time to
sweep.
For five years anarchy has been
prevailing in that country, and for
FIVE years each day has seen the
prevailing conditions just little
worse than the day before. 1t has
been retrograde movement since
the day President Diaz fed to
France.
Today we are witnessing the as
sembling of a new army of nearly
hundred thousand men, called to
the colors because the president
deems it wise to sweep the dirty
Mexican floor.
This movement of the troops to
the Mexican border may be but
the prelude to general war with
Mexico. If such it is to be-. then
the American army should not be
until every vestige Of
filth has been swept from the re-
public to our south and land once
fair shall have been mades over in
to place of habitation for ra-
tional human beings.
It is not pleasant task to un-
1ertake, but it seems to be bur
den placed upon the shoulders of
The American people. 1t will be ac-
without fuss or feath-
ers or buster or blow-accomplish-
ID as the people perform their
routine duties of life, for such is
he American spirit.
The Stars and Stripes should be
wherever and whenever
hey are unfurled. Let us see that
is so.
Sweep out the filth.

YELLOWER THAN YELLOW

1t gives an excrutiating pain to
the average country publisher to see
the false and misleading state
ments that are sent out regarding
national and military affairs by
some of the yellow daily papers of
the country.
They are so false and misleading
that the devil himself would blush
from shame if he were compelled
to assume their authorship. And
yet this aggregation of conglomer-
ated bunk is swallowed by the pub
lie without murmur of protest.
If this paper, or any other self
respecting country newspaper, were
TO disseminate such falsehoods.
perversions and absurdities the ed
itor would soon be invited to move
on, for the public, we have learned,
looks for truthfulness in the coun-
try press.
Just why this double standard is
countenanced and encouraged is
more than we can say. But it is so.

NOT A CANDIDATE

Judge C. C. Turner, of this city,
will not be a candidate to succeed
himself On the Court of Appeals
bench. Monday week was the last
day to file nominating papers for the
August primary and Judge j. M.
Robertson, of Pikeville, was the
only Democrat to qualify and will
be nominated without opposition.
Judge Turner has made a splendid
record on the Appellate bench and
it is likely that he will return to
Mt. Sterling after the first of the
year and engage in the practice of
his profession.

FRENCH BY pILIeENT INQUIRY
FIND OUT WHY A CERTAIN
THING is DONE.

PARIS, Feb. 2o!-(Correspondcnce
Of The Associated Press)-The Par
liamentary committee on Economy,
which has been investigating why's
and means OF saving money in the
public service, tells in its latest repor
how a member OF the Committee was
one day struck by the fact that all the
ammunition sent to the front was
packed in zinc-Iined boxes. The atten-
ton of M. Thomas. minister OF NUM-
lions, was called to the fact, and he
suggested that inquiries should be
made at the front. If the zinc is super
fuous, it would be suppressed. (
Two members Of the committee ac-
cordingly followed a box Of cartridges
from vincennes up to the front
trenches, but failed to find out where
the zinc was necessary. They consult
ed everybody en- route from generals
and colonies down to privates, but
without result. At last the general
commanding the FIFTH army solved the
puzzle-the zinc was used, he said, be-
cause 1t had been uSed for the last SO.
years.
The committee communicated this
information to Minister Thomas, who
at once issued instructions that no
more zinc.lining was to be put into
ammunition boxes. The saving will
amount to q million and a half dollars
a year. ~.
