YES, LET'S WAIT AWHILE

Mr. Bowman, editor of the Wood
ford Sun, in discussing the propos-
ed tax law says:
"The people of Kentucky cannot
afford to have the tax laws revised
under the present administration.
Without casting any slurs at all,
this administration has too many
friends whose interests are opposed
to the masses. There might not be
any intention to do wrong, but the
people would certainly "get it in the
neck'-the farmers especially. The
administration which was willing to
divide Pike county is not the one to
revise our tax laws. Let's stand
them awhile longer, lest a worse
thing befall u.s.

Mr.. JACKSON TO LEAVE

Mr.. Press Jackson, who has been
conducting the National Hotel in
this city for the past year, will re-
tire from the management at the
expiration of his lease on January
LIST, next, and has rented the Rich
ard Ratliff farm in Bath county,
near Sharpsburg, where he will go
with his family about March LIST to
reside. Many friends here of Mr..
Jackson will learn with regret that
he and his interesting family are to
leave the city. They came here sew
eral months ago from Salt Lick
and during their brief stay have be-
come very popular. The hotel build
ing is owned by the heirs of the late
Clell Ewing, of Bath county, and it
is understood that there are sever
al hotel men in touch with the trus-
tees of the estate with view of
taking over the management of the
famous hostelry, though no definite
arrangements have been made

LOWER COURT SAYS s-H0UR
LAW is UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The Adamson eight hour law was
declared unconstitutional by United
States Judge W. C. Hook in Kansas
City last week on a request of the
Government for a prompt ruling,
and a conference was held in
Washington for agreeing upon a
centralized hearing before the Su-
preme Court in order that a final
decision may be given before Jan
uary 1, when the law, whose enact
ment by Congress averted a general
railroad strike, becomes effective.
The Kansas City court made it
plain the decision was not based on
mature consideration.

human race. Not a community in
the country but can point to num-
erous instances of the abuse of
prosperity. Its wrecks are fairly
strewn along life's road.
We sometimes wonder if our
schools, our churches, our human
betterment societies, and even our
homes, are doing their duty in in
telligent instructing the race in a
course of sensible avoidance Of the
many peculiar vanities of the age.
Most of these vanities are the d.
rect outgrowth of an unprecedented
prosperity, and the mind of the
young, especially, needs to be par
ticularly fortified against them. Are
we doing this?

SELF-DENIAL, OR SENSE2

Says a writer in the Ohio State
Journal: Gas time moves on the
virtue of self denial is more and
more needed. The social fascina-
tons, the alluring fashions, the
varied amusements, the fun and
fiction in reading, the gadding
mania, the every day gossip and all
the glitter and hum of this mater
iaiistic age strongly demand the ex-
ercise of the virtue of self denial.
In fact, there is no safety in any
other way. Anyone who lets him
self go loose among the blandish-
ments of the day runs straight into
the face of ruin"
The writer uses the wrong term
when he names self denial as the
virtue that is to resist these pecul-
lar allurements of the age. He
should have said "sense." Self de-
NAL somehow includes the idea of
a right surrendered, of a legitimate
privilege foregone for the sake of
a greater end in view.
When we apply the term self
denial to the quality in man that is
to resist the extravagant vanities
of any time, we pre-suppose his
perfect right to the free exercise of
these vanities.
This is an error. Man has no
right to excuses of any nature. ANY
violation of the spirit of modera-
ton is a transgression against eth
er himself or his fellow man, ac-
cording as his act affects the one
or the other.
But the writer is right in the
danger which he sees for the race
in the multiplicity of temptations
of his age. 1t requires a sane and
sensible mind indeed to safely steer
life course amid them.
Volumes have been written ON
the virtue of patient endurance of
the Affections of poverty. Greater
volumes are needed on the greater
virtues Of resistance TO the ills of
prosperity.
Yes, we say 'ills" advisedly.
Prosperity is far from being a
blessing TO a large per cent Of the

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

President Wilson has formally by
proclamation designated Thursday,
November 80, as Thanksgiving day.
Here follows the Presidents pro-
clamation:
at has long been the custom OF
our people to turn in the fruitful
autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His many blessings and mercies to
us and the nation.
1.-The year that has elapsed Stree
we last observed our day of thanks
giving has been rich in blessings to
us as people, but the whole face
of the world has been darkenrd bs
war. In the midst of our peace
and happiness, our thoughts dwell
upon the struggles and sufferings
of the nations at war and of the
peoples upon whom war has brought
disaster without choice or possibil-
ity of escape on their part. We
cannot think of our own happin, IS
without thinking of their pitiful
distress.
''Now, therefore, l, Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United
States of America, do appoint
Thursday, the thirtieth of Novem-
Der, as a day of national thanksgiv-.
ing and prayer, and urge and adj
wise the people to resort to their
several places of worship on that
day to render thanks to Almighty
God for the blessings of peace and
unbroken prosperity which He has
bestowed upon our beloved country
in such unstinted measure.
"And l also urge and suggest our
duty in this our day of peace and
to think in deep sympathy
of the stricken peoples of the world
upon whom the curse and terror of
war has SO pitilessly fallen ard to
out of our abundant
means to the relief of their suffer
ings.
"Our people could in no better
way show their real attitude toward
the present struggle of the nations
than by contributing out of their
to the relief of the
suffering which the war has brought
in its train.
'In witness whereof / have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.
'Done at the City of Washington,
this 18th day of November, in the
year of our Lord, 1916, and Of the
of the United States
