The Man For President.

The Republicans of Ohio coun-
ty demand q man as their leader In
the great contest Of 1916, man OF
intelligence. man of integrity. a
man of we'll known and approved
political opinions. They demand a
statesman, they demand a reformer
after, as well as before. the election
They demand a politician in the
highest broadcast, and best sense-a
man of superb moral courage. They
demand a man acquainted with the
public affairs, with the wants Of the
people, with not only the require
ments OF the hour, but with the de-
mands of the future.
They demand man broad enough
to comprehend the relation OF this
Government to the other nations OF
the earth. They demand a man well
versed in the powers, duties and pre-
negatives of each and every depart
ment of this Government.
They demand man who will sa-
credly preserve the financial honor
of this government; one who knows
enough to know that the National
debt must be paid through the pros.
perity of the people; one who knows
enough to know that all the money
must be made. not by law, but by
labor, one who knows enough to
know that the people of this gov
eminent have the industry to make
the money and the honor to pay II
over just as fast as they make 1t. ,
The Republicans of Kentucky de.
mand man who knows that pros.
perity and resumption, when they
come, must come together, that when
they come, they will come hand In
hand through the golden harvest
fields. hand In hand by the turning
wheels, had in hand by the open
furnace doors, hand In hand by the
flaming FORCES: hand in hand by the
chimneys, filled with eager fire
greeted and grasped by the countless
sons of toll.
This money has to be dug out OF
the earth, you cannot make 1t by
passing resolutions In a political
convention.
The Republicans Of Kentucky want
a man who knows that this govern
ment should protect every citizen at
home and abroad. who knows that
any government that will not defend

tors is a disgrace to. the world. Our
country crowned with the vast and
marvellous achievements Of this
twentieth century, asks for a man
who is the greatest combination Of
heart and conscience, and brain be-
meath the flag. Such a man for the
Republican party leader there can be
no defeat.
This is a great year; a year filed
with the recollections of President
Wilson's Notwithstanding, filled with
proud and tender memories of the
past, with the sacred legends OF lib
erty; a year In which the sons of free
dom will drink from the fountains
OF enthusiasm; year In which the
people call for man who is a f.
nancier and statesman. -

THE FLIGHT OF THE EAGL

THE FLIGHT OF THE EAGLE.
We believe in a protective tariff
to protect our home industries in or
der that they may grow and thrive
until they reach that stage Of per-
lection acquired by their older COM
petitors; because they enlarge our
revenues with their taxes and hand
the pay envelopes to our laborers.
Just so are we in favor Of protec-
ton of our home merchants by some
kind of legislation that will stop the
flight of the dollar eagle from it's
nesting place. The Ohio county
merchant pays taxes in Ohio county.
He employs clerks who make their
home in the county and his employees
also pay taxes at home. He is, in
most cases, a good fellow, progress
sive citizen and benefit to his COM
munity. Put him out of business
and what would we have?
The advent of the parcel post has
resulted in the fight of the eagle.
Mail order houses are getting the
business that rightfully belongs to
the home merchant. True, there are
some things that we can not buy from
the local dealer. We must then go
where the article can be purchased.
But when the home merchant can
supply you, you will not only save
in the long run on the article pur-
chased but you will keep the money
circulating in your own community
and assist the man who favors you.
$2,S01.O0 in money orders went
to the mail order houses through
the Hartford post Office during the
month of February, 1916. to say
nothing of the checks and currency
mailed direct. 1t would not be
amiss to estimate the total amount
sent out of Ohio county during that
month to the mail order houses at
100000, and February is a dull
month. Ohio county merchants could
use that 100000. They could in
crease their stock in quantity and
quality, and give you better returns
for your money.
Now, what have we gained by
sending this 100000 away from
home. We know of a man who
bought a stove from a mail order
house. He got the stove cheaper
than he could have from a home
merchant, but II was an off brand
and when some of the parts burned
out the repairs cost him almost as
much as the stove. He could have
saved several dollars, had he bought
the stove from a home dealer and
he admits II. The same is most like
ly true of many of the deals put over
with that 100000.
Assuming February as an average

THE SESSION OF 1910.

Tuesday night brought to close
the 1916 session of the Kentucky
Legislature, and Tuesday. March IA,
should be set aside as State hoii-
day. Upon that day in the future all
business houses should be closed,
schools should be dismissed, every
public building should be locked ex-
cept the church and there we should
gather to thank God that the thing
could last no longer.
Kentucky citizens who boast with
pride of the grand old Common
wealth and who delight to point to
its moral. advancement must now
seek excuses for the actions of its leg
islative body. The two wrecking
devils, illiteracy and State deficit,
now occupy the seats of those who
had 1t within their power to exter-
inmate them.
The day will come, aye, we thought
1t near, when the representatives of
the people will go to the capitol at
Frankfort to voice the sentiments of
those whom they represent; when the
wrangling, the scrapping and at
temptsr to put things over will be alb
sent. If the people are properly
represented there is really little for
the legislator to do but ascertain
what his district or county wants and
vote for that thing until it is carried
or overruled by majority.
The prohibition cause has been
hard hit by the conspicuity of those
who imagine themselves its cham
pions. A cause, no matter how rich
in merits, will soon be looked upon
with disgust by even a patient pub
lie when continually "bobbed up"
Regardless of our personal views the
people, as we see it, expressed their
desires upon this important issue
when they permitted Governor STAN
ley to become their leader. They will
have another chance in the near fu-
ture to decide between Statewide
and the county unit and we believe
it should rest until that day.
A few good bills were passed, but
we will remember the session of
1915 as one of fights, charges and
counter charges. Investigations were
started, but quieted down before re-
suits could be obtained. What a
different scene from that presented
by our forefathers when they gath
cred with an earnest desire to pass
laws for the real good and benefit OF
their Commonwealth. 1t is unfor-
tunate, indeed, that men with the
best of intentions must share in part
responsibility for the actions of this
session.
There is talk of an extra session.
We sincerely hope there will be none
for the people of Kentucky have had
enough.
