BELOVED CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY.

In the death of Mr.. Roy C. White
the community has sustained an ir-
reparable loss. His death which oc-
CURED on Tuseday at noon, was not
unexpected, and yet the blow was
none the less keen when it fell. The
funcra! services were held at the resi-
dence on Oak street Wednesday after
noon at two o'clock, and were conduct
ed by DR.. f.. B. Barnes of the First
Christian church. In a few well
chosen words following the reading of
the scriptures, he spoke of the life of
this just man-comparing him to Bar
nabas Of old a good man and true;
a man of faith. And all that DR..
Barnes said found an echo in the
hearts of those who came to do him
honor.
Mr. White was for many years,un-
til his health failed, an earnest work
er in the church and Sunday school,
being one of its most efficient officers.
In his business relations and in his
family he was ever just and kind;
and as the days and months drew
nearer the end, even so he drew near
er to his Redeemer and was unafraid.
The burial which took place in the
Richmond cemetery at three o'clock,
was attended by large concourse of |
friends, who came with their offerings |
of beautiful flowers to pay a tribute |
to his memory
To the stricken wife and children |
all hearts go out in sympathy.

SALUTATORY.

found my way; and what matters it
if in kaleidoscope fashion mine editors
have changed. Is not rose by any
other name as sweet Aud so. ! say
again, when the lamps are lighted and
the curtains drawn and the family
gather round the fireside, hope to
be still in your midst. To be sure |
come with some degree Of trepida-
tion-but still with feeling of con-
fidence in your friendship-your sym
pathy-for after all have We not one
aim, to bring good tidings7
And so, in this month of all months,
when the earth's bounty has been
stored away--when in richness and
beauty she's clothed in russell and
crimson and gold-should not our
hearts be filled with a song Of graft

Should we not forget our little
iealousies, our petty cares, and lift

hold the glory and the freshness of
the morn?
So may we be imbued with the
spirit of fellowship-with the desire
to be mutually helpful to bring light
into the dark places, and laughter
for tears. And if, perchance, a cloud
may drift across the sky, know ye
still, it has a silver lining. And thus

ADDRESS
Delivered by Mrs. c ID. Chenault, of
Lexington, at d. A. r. Convention
Louisville, October 25-26.

Madam State Regent, Daughters,
Ladies and Gentlemen
The Kentucky Daughters Of the
American Revolution" most grateful
ly acknowledge this royal greeting
SO gracefully and beautifully express
ed by her able and honored "Son."
1t is splendid testimonial of Louis
ville's proverbial hospitality and high
appreciation Of the unselfsh, patriot
ic work of her Daughters" and we
wish TO express to the John Marshall
and Fincastle Chapters, the Sons of
the Revelation and Club, our great
pleasure in being with them at this
time. We wish to assure you of our
earnest desire to stand with you on
the common ground of patriotism in
the fullest sense Of the word. It is
the sincere desire Of each Daughter"
to;
"Be a woman! Cn to dutyl
"Raise the world from all that's
low;
"Place high in the social heaven;
Virtues fair and radiant bow;
LEND their influence to each effort
"That shall raise our nature human
"Be not fashions gilded lady,
"Be a brave, whole-souled, true
woman"
When we think Of the great, terri
Bile, bloody struggle of our ancestors
to give us America, "the land of the
free and the home of the brave" we
pause at the magnitude of the re-
sponsibility that rests with each one
Of US to act well our part-that our
dead heroes shall not have suffered
and sacrificed in vain.
Somewhere it has been said that:
woman is the conscience Of the
world. All that is dark in man, she
must purge into purity; all that is
failing she must strengthen into
truth. In all the worlds clamor, in
her she would find his praise; through |
all the worlds warfare, in her she |
would find his peace, In a good wo-
mans presence, all should be nobler
than their want"
We must believe that this great
great organization, with its splendid
in the moral upheave) Of
our times, in the strenuous days Of
var and rumors Of war" is striving
honestly and faithfully to do its part
o stand for purity of American life
md Nobility of American Standards,
lsing this influence on our sons,
,rothers, husbands, to such life of
ivic purity that this Republic shall
,e the Beacon Light Of the world;
hat they shall love its history, its
tandards, its opportunities and say
With Dwight;
God bless our native land,
Firm may she ever stand,
"Thro' storm and night;
when the wild tempests rave,
"Ruler Of wind and wave,
"Do thou our country save
"By thy great might.
"For her our prayers shall rise,
"To God above the skies
"On him we wait;
Thou art ever nigh
"Guarding with watchful eye,
"To thee should we cry,
"God save the State"

The strength of Woodrow Wilson
in Indiana, as in Michigan and ohio'
is a positive and not a negative
strength. Il is not founded on
sense of the deficiencies of Candidate
Hughes, but on the gratitude TO the
Democratic administration for ITS
legislative record, and above ALL ior
having steered the country saiely
through foreign entanglements. ANY
one who gets away from party poll
ticians and talks to the plain people
is impressed by the breadth and
depth of the average middle western
er's solicitude for a peaceable natonai
policv. The phrase che kept us out
of war" does not seem cheap or emp
ty to a large body of lndlanianS' at
any rate. Indiana has large Quak-
er population, and it is for Wilson, al
most to a man, because Of his peace
policy; she also has many Dunkards
and Mennonites within her borders
and they are for Wilson for me same
reason. The Jewish population OF
Indiana is said to be for Wilson be-
cause of the appointment of Mr.
Brandies to the Supreme Court bench
and the fact that Mr.. Morgenthau
and Mr.. Untermyer are among the
prominent representatives of their
race that are close within the councils
of the national administration-Cour-
ier Journal.

OLLIE JAMES
SPLENDID SPEECH.
THOUSANDS TURN OUT TO
HEAR HIM.

Senator Ollie James spoke on Sat
urday to one of the largest and most
enthusiastic crowds ever assembled
here to listen to a political speech.
Throughout the speech the most rapt
attention was given him and at times
the applause was deafening. The
speaker was introduced by Hon. L. b.
Harrington and on the stage and sur
rounding it were many notable men
and women. The Women's Woodrow
Wilson Club was prominently locat
ed near the platform.
He dwelt at length on the Farm
Loan Law, the -S-Hour Law, the Child
Labor Law and the Anti-Injunction
Law. The speech was a strong one
and that it will have a very telling
effect on the voters of the city and
county is not to be doubted

Why I Am For Wilson.

I'm for Woodrow Wilson. When
us America that's at stake men have
got to vote as Americans. 1t is just
one big thing after another with Will
son. Wilson has won victories by
diplomacy that are far more impor-
tant to mankind than any victories
that we could have won by war.
They say Wilson has blundered,
Perhaps he has. But notice that he
usually blunders forward.
MIR. Wilson has now had about four
years Of experience, and think that
he has earned faith and trust. do
not hink II a logical or sensible thing
to change to an inexperienced and un-
tried man jsfi for the sake Of change.
Even our patient and long suffer
ing Republican neighbor, the Tribune
finds Mr. Hughes Lusitania state
ment too sbsurd to be taken serious
" as a policy of government. It says
The Tribune disagrees with Mr..
Hughes in the mater Of the Lusitania
II by his Louisville utterance he
menat to express the belief that had
the German government known in ad-
vance that the sinking Of the Lusitan-
ia would be followed merely by a sew
erance Of diplomatic relations It would
have refrained from the crime"
For four months no effort has been
spared to smoke Mr.. Hughes out on
the vital issues Of the campaign.
These efforts have been uniformly un-
successful, but at last he was com
PEELED to say something definite about
the Lusitania case. Then he made
the most nonsenscal contribution to
the discussion of the German crisis
that the campaign has produced.
What makes the matter worse Mr..
Hughes must have known that it was
both ridiculous and demagogic' III
informed as he is about international
relations and foreign affairs, it is IN
cradible that a man Of his general in
telligence and trained habits OF
thought should be so ignorant as ms
Louisville statement implies-New

HIGHWAY EXPENDITURES

Rapid increase in total expendi-
lures for roads and bridges, growth
Of building and maintenance activi-
ties under State supervision, and
sharp decrease in the proportion of
contributions in the form of statute
labor mark the development of high
way work in the United States during
the past y years. These facts are
brought out by statistics for the cal
endar year 1915, recently compiled by
the Office of Public Roatls and Rural
Engineering of the department.
The total length of public roads in
the United States outside the limits
Of incorporated cities and towns was
about 2,452,000 miles on January /,
1916. OF this, about 277OOO miles,
or l1.3 per cent, were improved with
some form Of surfacing. The mileage
of surfaced roads has been increased
at the rate of about 10000 miles a
year, and in 1915 approximately one
half of this increase was made under
the supervision of State highway de-
partments, In addition, these de
partments supervised the mainten-
ance of nearly $4,000 miles of main
and trunk-line roads.
The increase in expenditures for
road and bridge work in the United
States has been from approximately
S0,00O,000 per year in 1904 to about
$3.50, 100000 in 1915, an increase of
more than $50 per cent. The eXpen-
diture of State funds during this
same period increased from about |
S2,550,0O0 TO more than $53,OOO,OOO |
In addition, more than S27,0OO,OO0 Of |
local funds we're spent under State |
supervision in 1915, bringing the to-
tai road and bridge expenditure man
aged by the States to $S0,5l4,699 !
This amount is greater than the total |
for roads and bridges |
from all sources in 1904.
The growth in Importance of the
State highway departments has been
rapid. The first of these agencies |
was created in 1891 in New Jersey, |
and now some form of highway de
partment exists in every State except |
Indiana, South Carolina and Texas. |
Since their inception these depart
ments had expended to January l.,
1916, an aggregate of S265, ,350,S25 in
State funds for roads and bridge con
struction, maintenance, and admins
tration. They had constructed over
10000 miles of roads in cooperation
with the States. More than 10000
miles of these roads were surfaced.
The falling off in the value of road
work performed by statute and CON
vict labor was from S2O0OO,O00 in
1904, when the total road eXpendi-
lures was SS0,000,O00, to about Sl5,-
100000 in 1915, when the total ex-
penditures had grown to S2S2, 100000.
This Was a reduction Of % per cent
1f the total in the former year to less
Than 5ia per cent Of the total in 1915.
An increase in the better and more
expensive types of roads also is
