LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.

The closing session of Kentucky IS
lower house was marked by a distribu-
tion of gifts and an exchange of fe-
licitations in marked contrast to the
previous day. when gunplay was the
climax of session made stormy -
efforts to have the Liquor Shipping

passed in the closing hours was that
changing the name of the Kentucky
Institute for the Blind and appropria-
ting $40, 900 for the institution.
The only important measure consid-
cred by the Senate during the session
Tuesday was the Hutchcraft Anti Trad
ing Stamp Bill. An effort to bring this
measure out over the adverse report o.
the Committee on Rules failed. Early
in the night session the Senate passed
several minor bills and presented Presi-
dent James d. Black with loving cup.
The Boxing Bill was defeated just be-
fore midnight by vote of l6 to IL.
Both houses adjourned sine die at an

The year 1915 will truly go down in
Kentucky history as Highway Year. "
The good roads enthusiasm and its is.
sues have overshadowed all other pub
lie improvements. A great number of
highway routes have been proposed,
but the most important ones organized
were the Dixie Highway, the jackson
Dixie Bee Line and the Boone wav.
The last three of these highway pro-
jects have been fostered and organized
within the State, or BY Kentucky citi-
zens.
One of the most important highway
propositions to the people of Kentucky.
Tennessee and North Carolina. at this
time. is the Boone way. now being con-
structed from Cumberland Gap north
ward, to connect with the Kentucky
system of turnpikes. This road has
been routed from Cum berland Gap to
Louisville across the State, a distance
of $50 miles, via Middlesboro, Pineville.
Barbourville, Corbin, London. Mt YER
non, Grab Orchard, Lancaster, Danville,
Harrodsburg, Lawrenceburg and Shell
byville.
There is turnpike from Grab Or
chard to Louisville, a distance of l55
miles, which is being greatly improved
by every county thru which the highway
passes. leaving ninety-five miles to be
constructed between Grab Orchard and
Cumberland Gap. Bond issues, aggre-
eating several hundred thousand dollars
have been voted. largely for this pur-
pose. The construction is now under
way. with the expectation that the
road will be completed in the fall of
the year.
The Boone way was officially organ
lied and the route designated at meet.
ing of delegates held at Crab Orchard
last May. James Maret of Mt. Vernon,
Ky, is the president of the Boone Way
Association, and to him goes the honor,
of being Its founder. He proposes. dur
ing 1916, to route the Boone way south
east from Cumberland Gap to Mockville,
N. c., the old home of Daniel Boone,
who left that point on bis memorable
march in l775 for Kentucky, acting as
guide for the Henderson Company, to
establish settlement. which became
known rs Boonesboro.
1t is reasonable to expect that the
year 1916 will see the completion of the
eastern and western loop of the Dixie
Highway and western loLp of the Jack
son Highway, practically thru the en-
tire State of Kentucky. Much of the
contemplated Improvement will be
brought about thru the State aid fund.

THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE
Lancaster Opera House March 9Th

OF especial interest to the citizens of
this community is the announcement
made by the Lancaster Opera House
of the booking of The Battle Cry of
Peace" the greatest war drama ever
filmed, which will be shown for one day
only. This splendid production. which
has been packing the theatres all
through the East at So 90 prices, is pal
pitating with action, surcharged with
thrills, crowded with incidents telling a
story that grips and is consecutive, but
nevertheless an animated pamphlet on
the text, lin times Of peace prepare
for war.
In New York City and its immediate
neighborhood- among the county seats
along the Hudson, at Coney Island, out
at seattle story unfolds itself, a story
of modern American life, with pretty
and pathetic romance running through
it. 1t is the story, briefly, of happy
domestic life and successful business
life rudely interrupted by war that
strikes suddenly and swiftly as does the
lightning, soaring and blasting all
things. Outrage unspeakab is averted
only by self-inflicted martyrdom and
the blessing Of dementia.
How calm and serene Is the big city,
how gay and unconcernedl This talk
of war is newspaper talk. of course! !
Let US hold peace meetings and de-
nounce the devils of destructive pol
icy that calls for men and money that
could be better used. And the talk
persists, none the less. The feet scat
tered undermined. short Of munitions;
the army top; defenses the merest
makeshft; all this and more is realized
too late. There is war with Ruritania.
Queer how these Ruritanian soldiers
pattern after a certain European Power
and how the meetings of the con-
spirators have recognizable setting.
Bombardments spells panic. The
sauve-qui. peut; the awful destruction;
the grim ruthlessness of it all, these
are unforgetably rendered. And the
enemy lands, having first, after gall
liant but unequal fight. blown our ships
out of the water. Hostages are taken
d massacred. Traitors have
been at work scheIning and be-
traying. There is wreck of all things
save only homer. A splendid cast,
which includes such excellent artists as
Charles Richmsn. Louise Beaudet, Mary
Maurice, James Morrison, Norma Tai
