The opponents of the proposition
are afraid of tax entanglem ents
which might prove a burdca TO the
county for years to come. II Is a
matter of individual opinion to
which every man has a right.
Many counties Of the State have
recently voted bonds for the i'm
provement of their roads and many
progressive citizens claim that after
careful study, all things considered.
this seems about the only practical
BILE way of maintaining our public
highways in a manner commensu-
rate with the demands of the times
and the advancement of the age.
Some of the most progressive States
and counties of the Union have tried
the plan and seem satisfied with 1t.
The increase in taxation and the
dread of added burdens along this
line is the plea of those who object
to the bonding of the county for a
huge amount.
That the roads of Ohio county are
in a most deplorable condition with
no very bright prospect of improve
ment, no one can deny. This has
been the situation for many years.
It would seem that something has
TO be done If we keep pace with 9th
er counties in the matter of prog
ress. In their desperation the
county magistrates have gone back |
% the old system of working roads,
which at once aroused much COM
,laint. We believe the Fiscal Court
las done its best in the matter, with
he meager funds at hand, and yet
he good roads question seems no
learer of solution than for many
ears past. 1t is a matter which
hould command the very serious
bought of every progressive and
atriotic citizen.
What shall we do with our road
natter? Has anybody a plan or
lans better than any yet tried or
Do we need a change
r not? 1t is vital question which
very voter must take unto himself.

THE ROAD BOND QUESTION.

On Saturday, May 20, the voters
of Ohio county will be called upon
TO decide the question as to whether
or not the county shall issue bonds
to the amount of 100000 for the
Improvement and building of public
highways. If the question carries. a
like amount will be available from
the State. making handsome
budget to insure good roads.
The matter has aroused consider
able comment both for and against
the proposition. So far as We have
been able to notice. by inquiry and
otherwise. a majority of the voters
seem to be In favor of the bond is
sue. Quite number, however, art
sgainst II. upon the idea that Il will
pile up more taxes. II is claimed hv
these in favor OF the bonds that the
hcrd'DG process can be put In opAr-
stion without any increase in the
rate of taxation. n is asserted that
interest on the bonds can be paid
with less than half what 1t now costs
10 keep up our county roads. leav-
ing the balance for a sinking fund.

We have received several compli-
mentary remarks lately upon The
Herald's defense of our home mer-
chants against the mail order houses
of the big cities. We deeply appre-
ciate these encouraging words. But,
like most matters, there are two
sides to this subject. We take pleas
ure in befriending our native mer-
chants, but do all of them appre-
ciate our interest in their behalf?
How many, of all the business
houses in Ohio county, are repre-

Not many-compared to the num-

patronize the newspaper that fights
his battles?

In rural community in the
southern part of Ohio county resides
a sixteen-year-old boy who has re-
Gently distinguished himself along
the lines of learning in a way which
should commend him to the philolo-
gists Of the times. His name is
Otto Brackin and he lives at Prem
tiss. In a recent examination held
for common school diplomas, young
Brackin made a one-hundred- per-
cent record on spelling-that is, he
didn't miss a word. He is the only
one who has had this distinction out
of 312 applicants during the last
two years. Spelling is something
that is sadly neglected in modern
education. 1t is a pity that this is
true. The simple knowing how to
spell words is big accomplishment.

And Kentucky will have to go on
under burden of tax inequality un-
til the Legislature meets again two
years hence, the just expired body
failing to accomplish anything along
the line of tax revision. The tax
amendment ratified at the recent
election was not provided for. This
amendment was also ratified by a
big majority at the election in 1912
but was pronounced invalid by the
Court of Appeals because it had
been advertised only sixty instead of
ninety days, as the Constitution pro-
vides. Seemingly inexcusable blum
dering has halted the whole matter
while the taxpayers must continue
to suffer.

The seventy thousand negroes of
Kentucky who constitute about one
third or one-fourth of the Republic
an party of the State might just as
well take their medicine from their
party bosses and be quiet. True,
their rights as party men have been
trampled upon and they have been
given only one-half of a delegate
vote in their national convention in
stead of two full votes, as hereto
fore, but that is only further evil
dence to show how little their party
bosses think of them except at State
or county election time. They will
be expected to still go to the polls
and vote their party ticket straight
and they will probably do it. They
are still required to make brick
without straw.

1t took a brave man-morally
and courageously brave-to do what
President Wilson has recently done
in Congress. Yet it was a simple
sort of braveness with no Haunting
daredeyilism or flourish of bragga-
docio about It. He had heard upon
what he considered good authority
that the majority of the members
of Congress-both Houses-were
opposed to his war policy. This
sounded ominous in the present sit
uation. So he called upon Congress
for showdown-let the members
vote their sentiments. The alleged
opposition faded into almost moth
ingnass. Yet the President did not
know beforehand. 1t took a man
with the courage of his convictions
to do what Wilson did.

lADIVOSTOCK PORT hOKED BY SUPPLIES
Fenty-Eight Steamers Waiting to Be UnlOaded

Correspondence of The Associated PressD 8Vladivostok, Jan. 12.-Congestion a war supplies at Vladivostok con- ues to grow worse. At present aEre are twenty eight steamers in the 8rpor or waiting in the bay to enter 8e harbor. Pier facilities are lack B to accommodate these steamers. 8e thermometer registers twenty de- Ices below zero, and the extreme anperature and ice are adding to the SnIus1on. The cranes on the piers le not heavy enough to lift locomo- Fes and other heavyweights. and Ensequently lighters must be utilized H this purpose. As there are only zffle1ent lighters to unload four gamers, the handling of locomotives greatly delayed.
 sF'our hundred and fifty American Homotlves were sold to Russia for le Tn speeding up war supplies. and far less than fifty of these have len unloaded at Vladivostok. Amer Rn manufacturers are also sending fenty thousand steel cars to Vladi- Fslok. Heavy floating cranes were |ought from Japan to handle the Pr supplies but 1t is almost impossi- |e to move these in the ice and they fe of an old type not well adapted the present work.
 Because of delay, demurrage charg- are piling up against the freight.
 he shores of the harbor are blocked hth cargo, and it seems impossible get cars to move this out The pvernment says 1t has three thou md cars at Lake Baikal, but these Fe not coming with any regularity to Hadtvostok and the situation seems grow more confusing every day.
 Barbed wire, cotton and rails make great part of the cargo which is ow reaching here. Various depart
 ents which are handling the cargo
 sist on different sorts of supplies sing taken to different piers. The suit Is that some ships unload less Ian 100 tons a day and in many -ses the demurra ge charges against 1 le ship reach s1,500 a day.

SMALL HOPE OF
SAVING RUMANIA
FROM GERMANS
Plight of Country Acute With
No Signs of Stand by
Allies

The plight of Rumania continues
acute, with no signs of a stand by
her armies or those of her Russian
ally which affords hope of saving her
capital.
Although reports from Turkish
sources last night claimed that the
troops of the central powers had
driven to within less than eight miles
of Bucharest, the chief force of the
Teutonic trust seems at present to
be eXerted northwest of the capital,
with the apparent hope of reaching
Ploecht before the Rumanian armies
can effect a retreat over the railroad
line running through there from
Bucharest.
Rumanians in Great Peril
This encircling movement spells
the greatest apparent peril to King
Ferdinand's forces. as the route
through. Ploechti affords the old rail-
way avenue of escape for them to-
wards the northeast, where their
armies and the Russians so far have
held Moldavia fairly safe from the
Teutons.
The Macedonian operations of the
entente allies are progressing favor
ably. according to all current reports.
The thrust developed by the Ser
bians in the Grunishte region, east
of Monastir is being pressed and the
lateat statement from the Serbian
War Office announced the Bulgarians
in retreat after they had lost several
strongly fortified positions
To-day Paris announces fresh pro-
gress for the Serbians and French in
the Macedonian fighting and reports
