Paper Jumps Up Again

The price of news paper has taken
another tremendous jump. 1t is hit
ting the country publisher mighty
hard. A lot of country papers are
reduced in size while many have in
creased their subscription to S1.5O
a year. The 1. j. is one of the very
few remaining semi-weekly papers
in the state which is sold at 81 a year
and it's a question whether or not il
is losing money on the cost of the
paper alone which goes to each
subscriber in the course of a year
The only possible way in which the
price can be maintained at the
figure of 81 a year is for each sub
scriber to renew promptly when his
or her subscription expires. The
management will be compelled to re
move the names of those delinquent
from its list Immediately, each sub
scription has expired unless renewa
for another year is received prompt
ly. Please bear this in mind.

Announcements
Letter to the Home Folks"

A former Lincolnite, now located,
not so many miles away, was so pleas
ed to read the letter which Arch A.
Mckinney, Jr., wrote to the /. j. the
other day, that he suggests the l. j.
open its columns to former residents
of this part of Kentucky, who are
now living elsewhere to let the folks
"back home" and their friends in
other sections know where they are
and what they are doing. 1t is good
suggestion. Hundreds of former
Lincoln county citizens are scatter
ed over this great country of ours.
Each and every one of them, without
doubt, feels a tender spot in his or
her heart for dear old Lincoln. The
Interior Journal reaches many hum
dreds of them, and would like to go
to them all. 1t will more than glad
ly print letters from them; anything
they may care to write. Whatever
they have to say will be of interest
to their friends and loved ones back
in the old Kentucky Home. So let's
start this Letter to the Home Folks
department of the l. j. right now.
Who will be the first to write?

EIGHTH DISTRICT POLITICS
PATRONAGE versus PATRIOTISM.

What sight for gods and men are
some of this freak politics coming to
the surface this history making year !!
Behold our innen6ing war with Mex
leo! European entangling compli-
cations that are requiring the highest
and best thought of the soberest, SAN
est and best poised craftsmanship
that the nation can muster. Com
mercial problems of a magnitude
never before imagined. And yet,
forsooth the successful handling of
questions of such pith and moment
is obscured or thrown into total
eclipse by reason of the failure of
some mans friend to connect with a
fourth class post Office paying from
SO to $40 year dhlary, or because
some rural route i as run over the
wrong road, or BECAUSE the wrong
man was appointeA the temporary
carrier.
To an outsider looking in, this
must be the ridiculous reduced ad
absurdium. But, : truly represents
the present political predicaments of
the President and the members of
Congress who have borne with him
their share of the great responsible
ties in part, mentioned. Patronage
versus patriotism Patronage! Think
of it, Rather the lbsurdity of think
ing of it in a year when all creation
rocks with the regathering storm
that may mean the beginning of this
worlds ending.
We repeat, American politics has
its inexplicable tangents. Every one
admits that it is impossible to give
every Office seeker job. And yet
because Congressman can not do so
he is pilloried. He may have fought
the good fight, and kept the faith.
He may have refused to wear the big
boss's collar. The System" may
not have been able to control him.
He may have exhausted the salary
and emoluments of his Office in finac-
ing his campaigns and in legitimate
contradictions to his party's nomi-
nees. His record may have been I'M
assailable for straightforwardness,
and he may have advocated the
measures that have met with the un-
challenged approval of all parties
and all of the people. Yet, if he has
been unable to pass the pie, his
failure so to do is the objectionable
sin, the unforgivable crime for which
he must be crucified.
What of wars! What of world
puzzling diplomatic equations! What
does the winning of continental COM
merce and finance; what does the
successful handling of other kindred
world problems amount to compared
with the artistic appointment of the
postmaster at "Some Body's Cross
roads" or selection of the watch"
for a moonshine distillery?

Republican opposition to Woodrow
Wilson NAL )ifests itself in much talk
in Congress and out, but when one
of the Wilson administration meas
ures comes to a vote, even the Re-
publicans dare not oppose it. The
Rural Credits bill passed the Senate
with only FIVE votes against it; there
were only len nays in the House of
Representatives Yet no rural cred
its bill eve reached a vote under
Republican rule. That is a circum-
stance that the farmers of the ma
ton will not forget.

The one thing that works against
Wilson is that he has accomplished
so much, his administration has
forged ahead so far, that the people
are apt to forget just what was the
state of things four years ago. Sit
down by yourself. Think about the
things that were disturbing the po-
litical thought of the country four
years ago. Contrast them with what
is going on now. Then there is no
doubt about what you will do in
November. You will vote for Will
