Makes a Prediction.

Continuing Secretary Daniels said:
My prediction is that Congress will
authorize as many battieships, sub
marines and destroyers as public ana
private yards can construct. For
month or more | have been in touch
with manufacturers, urging them to
speed up, so that they can supply ma
terials for ships, and know that when
the emergency comes our business men
will respond, no matter if outside BUS
ness is greater We are beginning to
take an inventory of every factory in
America to see what it can do for pre-
paredness. We must spend billions for
munitions and have factories prepared
to make them. We shall. now we are
awake, go steadily forward TO repair
the lack of building for twenty years
and shall build navy the size ana
strength needed by the American peo-
pie. / trust there will be no need to
commander private yards. | am one
of those who believe that whatever the
need of America the Americans VIII be
equal to the test.
Speakers Oppose Expensive Program.
Oswald Garrison Willard and the Rev.
Charles f. jefferson of New York at
tackled the expensive army and navy
program. which they declared IS UNI
American, while Henry d. Estabrook
of New York warmly defended the
preparedness side of the argument.
The usual staid audience frequently
applauded the speakers and the chair
man announced that twenty minutes
allowed discussions would be omitted.

There is a greater unrest on this

encouraging, for I believe discomfort

venture the opinion that most of the

We are in receipt of a copy of a
Especial Edition" of the Semi
Weekly News, of Somerset, KY,
which paper is now under the man
agement of an old Mt. Sterling man,
Mr.. VIM. f. SchOoler. The paper is
brimful of interesting reading re-
garding Somerset, her people, her
progress and her desires, besides a
splendid array of advertising which
shows the progressiveness of the
merchants and the faith they have
in the News as a business getter.

CAN FOOL NO ONE

The biggest joke Of the whole ses-
sion at Frankfort was the statement
of Col. Ed Taylor, the big distiller,
that he did not contribute any mon
ey to Stanley's campaign fund, as
charged in an affidavit by Elwood
Hamilton, one of the most rephta-
BILE lawyers at the capital, but that
he did contribute to a fund to help
elect Beekham. Hamilton showed
later that Taylor gave the money to
help Congressman Campbell Cam
trill, who is about as wet as Stan
ley, and with the distinct under
standing with the Franklin county
campaign committee that it was not
given to help Beckham. Everybody
who knows the Taylors-makers Of
fine whisky-knows' that they hate
the ground Beckham walks on, and
then for the old Colonel to try to
make sensible people believe that he
gave money to help Beckham and
not Stanley. II is to laugh. Inter
ior-Jourhal.

-saE sroops TO coMoueRv
70 Be Presented by Nigh School
Students.

What promises TO be one Of the
most delightful amateur theatricals
seen in this city in recent years viii
be given at the Tabb Opera House,
Thursday, March soth., by the Sem
Tor Glass Of the Mt. Sterling High
School
The play selected this year is
that old-t time comedy Of Gold
smiths, "She Stops To Conquer"
The play is by no means a serious
one. There is no attempt at the
profound delineation Of character,
no passages Of eloquent sentiment,
and very little complication of
scene and story. The purpose Of
the author was clearly set forth
when he asked one Of his critics,
'Did it make you Taught" Exceed
ingly," the critic answered. "Then,"
said the dramatist, "that is all I re-
quire."
The comedy was written in ITS,
and was presented short time la
ter at the Covent Garden Theatre,
Lohdon. 1t represents Goldsmith in
his happiest mood, and proved an
instantaneous success. since tnat
time it has been recognized IS an
established classic, and one Of the
most popular of English dramas.
Goldsmith wrote it to make people
laugh, and its continued popularity
only proves how well it has fulfilled
its mission.
The costumes for the coming per-
Torrance have been ordered from
a Cincinnati eostumer, and will con-
form in every detail to the time re-
presented in the play.

TWAS AS WE EXPECTED

Representative Frank Greene, of
Carroll county, the dry leader in
the late General Assembly, in speak
ing of the defeat of the bill seeking
TO limit shipments of liquors from
wet to dry territory, which was
,trangled to death by SANKEY'S
Rules Committee, said:
Governor A. O. Stanley could
have caused this bill to have come
nut of the committee by modest
request therefor, and had he done
so, he would have caused to be re-
deemed his pre- election promise to
advocate all laws calculated to
strengthen the county unit There
were three interests involved, name
". the brewers and distillers, the
bootlegger and the people who want
he illegal traffic in liquor stopped.
The brewers and distillers and the
bootleggers got the ear of A. o.
Stanley and they defeated the bill.
The people got, what they can al
ways expect from A. o. Stanley
nothing. Verify, may it be said:
Stanley has kept the faith-with
the liouor people.v

Spring is coming on and il is
quite time for us to get busy and
push the agitation for good roads
for the best roads in this whole
section Of the state.
Nothing much win be accom-
plished if only few do the talking.
It needs a general talkfeast, with
everybody talking and demanding
better roads at the same time. When
the noise gets loud enough some
one viii hear it and then we viii
get the road improvements we so
greatly need.
The fact that you may live in
town is no reason why you should
not talk for road improvement. Bet
ter country roads mean just as
much to the town man as they do
to the farmer, for what is good for
one is of equal value to the other.
If we want to keep pace with
other communities in this state we
must have better roads. Hauling
produce to market over heavy roads
is not a profitable business to any
farmer, and we don't want anything
in this community that does not be-
gin and end with profit.
We can talk learnedly on the
elevation Of humanity and kindred
SUBJECTS II it will serve as a balm
10 our consciences, but everybody
knows that everybody else is out for
every dollar he can gather in. And
we can not annex any great number
of those dollars with lot of bum
roads. That may be blunt and
cold blooded statement, but it is
fact, and we all know it.
When we go to the meat market
for a steak we want good one.
And good roads are just as essen
tial to our well being as juicy
steak.
Let's everybody get mighty busy
and go after the best roads OBJ
tainable. Suppose it does cost US
a cent or two each to get them.
For every cent we spend we will
get ten in return. And at most, the
expenditure would only amount to a
few smokes per man.
We are always ready to set aside
a certain date for some specific OBJ.
ject-except good roads. Now let's
vary the order of procedure and de-
clare 1916 our good roads year, and
live up to our declaration.
If we all agitate for good roads
and go after even better roads, the
end of 1916 will see wonderful
in our country

THE UPWARD CLIMB

Mary had a little skirt,
The floor it used to sweep;
But upward, we can see
This skirt Of Mary's creep.
First we saw the tiny toes
OF slippers neat and trim;
Next we caught just glimpse
OF ankles small and slim.
Higher crept this little skirt
To top of Mary's shoe,
And then the feet of Mary
Came clearly into view.
And shorter still, inch by inch
This skirt Of Mary's grows
Till now we see a wreath
OF Mary's striped hose.
II higher yet climbs this skirt
The time win surely be;
When we can look at Mary
And see her little knee. -Ex.
