WoRKlNGMEN'S READING.-NSw
comes the American Socialist with
criticism of The Day Book, the only
real working class paper ever pub
Hshed in Chicago, the Daily Socialist
not excepted.
The Daily Socialist was run by
the worst lot of TUbes that ever
charged a free lunch counter
blacksmiths, timers, butchers, bak-
ers and candlestick makers. No
wonder it went down in debauchery
and disgrace.
The Day Book is a private enter
prise, published, managed and edited
by practical, experienced men who
are in full sympathy with the revolu-
tiOnary idea. l have read every issue
of it, from No. 1 up to today, and,
while I do not endorse all it says, I
must acknowledge it hews nearest to
the line Of the working class move
ment.
AS to Bill Lorimer, I fully agree
with the American Socialist, he de-

some. I lived in his bailiwick during
all his political career, lived in Oak
Park when he ran for congress. Oak
Parkers are nearly all business and
professional people and purse Repub-
icans, while Berwyn, just south of it,
is composed of the working class, sa-
lOOnkeepers and the rabbIe, and was
purse democratic. When returns
were counted, LOrimer had carried
BeTwyn by large majority and lost
Oak Park by the same.
Now for the other Bill who hap
pens to occupy the most important
seat in our city government at pres
ent, and very likely to continue for
three long and weary years, owing
to the regretable fact that we have
not a recall provision on our stat
ute books. He, no doubt, was elect

PORTO RICO.-The sugar work
eTs' strike in Porto Rico is another
example of compulsory cheap living
under private ownership and private
management. The United States
took this island from Spain on &C
count of SPANS cruel treatment of
the people. For more than six months
10000 sugar workers have been on
strike. The U. S. capitalists practi-
caIIy own the island. The wage re-
belled against is 80 cents per day.
The demand is for 81 per day.
These workers are labOring for
our so-caIIed best citizens. COndi-
lions are so bad that Mr.. Gompers
appeared on the floor of the U. S.
senate and asked for an investiga-
ton. The U. S. industrial commits
sion investigated this strike and
partly reports as follows:
'In Juana Diaz police, without eX-
cuse, fired on strikers and citizens,
killing one, while two more died in
the hospital, besides wounding four
women, two boys and ten men. In
Rio Grande the police fired on,
dubbed and cut strikers.

TOBACCO HIGH
ON DANVILLE AND RICHMOND MARKET

Farmers, tobacco growers and stock
holders in loose leaf warehouses. were
in high glee over the prices reached on
the floors of the Danville and Rich
mond markets last Monday. The
floors were well filed with medium
grades of tobacco and large crowds
were on hand. so interested were they
in seeing the market open. Over 80, 900
pounds went over the breaks at Dan
vile at the unusual average of SIG. 81.
Several Garrard county crops were on
the Danville market and as usual help
to bring up the high average.
W. NJ. Onstott. of lower Garrard
sold only one half of his crop that
brought general average Of S2S 81.
j. j. and w. d. Walker sold the mean
est end of their crop, amounting to
about 1000 pounds that brought the
high average of sl775. OF course the
sellers of these crops were delighted
as all were who had their tobacco on
the market this week. The indica-
tions are that the prices will be main
tanned throughout the season. The
lower grades are more than twice as
high as last season. while the tops are
bringing about the same as last year.
Nothing sold for less than SO 90 on any
of the floors this week in either Dam
vile or Richmond. The markets in
Lexington are just as good and all
houses there are having good averages.
Another season came in last Monday
night and the result will be that the
floors will be filled for several days to
come insuring the grower a nice bunch
of Christmas money before the holiday
season is upon US.

Judge Charles A. Hardin who is
Chairman of the Democratic committees
of the state, and Of the head of our
party, in an open letter to the people
states his position upon the question of
submitting to a vote of the people
whether we shall have state wide pro-
hibition. 1t is the opinion of Judge
Hardin that this vote of the people
should be had at the earliest legal time
which he states will be by the General
Assembly of 1918. We fully agree
with him upon the matter and think
his letter timely utterance. His let
ter is frank and makes plain his posi-
ton and is not subject to any double
construction.
MANY good der ocrats who favor state
wide prohibition have heretofore been
IN doubt when was the practical time
for the party to fix the definite time
for the submission, are now convinced
that the step should Re taken In order
to eliminate question that is threaten
ing party harmony. Whenever suf-
ficent number of people of the state
are so interested in any vital issue as
to bring it to the general public notice
and desire disposition of the subject
by popular vote, whether by consttu-
tionsl amendment or by legislative
enactment, we think they are entitled
to exercise that right. We are of the
opinion that the question of state wide
prohibition occupies that position in
the public minds of the people of the
state at this time and it should be sub
mitted by the General Assembly of
1918 to vote.
1t appears to US at this time that not
only those who favor state wide pro-
hibition want the question submitted
but even those who oppose it; desire it
in order to eliminate it as political
issue. 1t will no longer be a subject of
contest. 1t is eliminated as political
issue. Judge Hardin's letter aids great
ly in bringing the matter to an end.
All candidates for legislative positions
in Kentucky regardless of party will
openly declare in favor of the submis-
sion of the question by the General
Assembly of 1918. 1t is no longer an
issue in the Democratic party or be-
tween the two parties.
