Manchester High School No Match For
Maysville and Locals Win BY
Largest Score in Years.

Those who have been awaiting the
basketball game between the Mays

the result, as the local lads trimmed
the up-river players to the tune of So

night in the High School gymnasium.
The followers of the local team were
somewhat discouraged at the showing

were anxiously awaiting the time for
the Manchester team to be tackled and

WITHOUT THE RIGHT
Thousands Are Voting, Says Attorney
General LOgaB-ThOsC Convicted
In United States Court Are
DiSfranchlsement.

Several thousand citizens of the
state of Kentucky have been exercis-
ing their suffrage, when, according
to Federal statutes, they have been
disfranchised This state of affairs
has come to light through investiga-
tons made by Attorney General NJ. NJ.
Logan of Frankfort; United States
Marshal r. G. Ford and United States
, District Attorney Slattery of Coving-
ton. Attorney General Logan was con-
suited with reference to his construc-
ton of Federal Statute No. 1886, which
reads as follows:
"All offenses, which may be pun
ished by death or Imprisonment for a
term exceeding on year, shall be
deemed felonies. All other offenses
shall be deemed misdemeaors."
The Attorney General advised Mar
shal Ford, after a conference, that he
construed the statute to mean that all
persons, convicted in the United States
court, are DISTINGUISHED. The Federal
statute has been in existence since
1909.
Section 1889 of the Kentucky State
Statutes reads as follows:
Persons convicted in court of COM
petent jurisdiction of treason or felony
or bribery in an election or for such
high misdemeanors as the General AS
sembly may declare shall be excluded
, from the right of suffrage; but persons
hereby excluded may be restored to
their civil rights by executive pardon. "
Attorney General Logan holds that
none but the President of the United
States. under this section of the State
Statutes, can pardon and restore civil
rights to persons thus disfrachised.
United States Marshal Ford declared
that the knowledge of the fact that
convictions for illegal sale and man
ufacture of whisky constitutes a fell
ony and means the Acknowledgement
OF those so convicted, will have ten
dency to greatly reduce the number of
violations of the law pertaining to the
manufacture of whisky. The records
in the United States District Court at
Covington show that several thousand
persons have been convicted of boot
Logging and moonshining" since the
enactment of the Federal Statutes,
making it a felony subject to dis
reimbursement for such violations.

$4,000, a Day.

The war is now costing all belliger-
ents more than $4,000 600 n day. This
is divided among the principal nations
as follows: Great Britain, $30,O00,OOO
(official figures); France, $17,O00,OOO;
Russia, $1S,OOO,OO0; Italy, $S,5OO,0OO;
Germany, $23,OOO,OOO, and Austro-Hun-
gary, $12,OOO,OOO, the lesser powers
making up the balance.
Great Britain is the only power
which is paying part of the capital cost
of the war out of current income. Ger
many is compounding her debt by not
taking in taxes enough to cover all her
interest charges.
The financial situation of both sides
is fairly good. The same cannot be
said for the economic situation. Ger
many and her allies are plainly in dis
tress in many ways. Few or none have
died Of actual hunger, but the vitality
| of many noncOmbatants is lowered by
| lack of proper food. There Is a great
scarcity of rubber, copper, high grade
iron, material for warm clothing and
an almost absolute lack of strictly ex-
otic products. such as tea, coffee and
cocoa.
In Great Britain the common people
have never been so prosperous. The
cost of living has advanced by more
than half, but wages have increased
still more and the demand for labor
both by the government and by private
enterprises is Unsuitable.

France, too, has largely recovered
from the financial shock. though ac-
tivity is not on such n great scale as In
England. In Russia private business is
not good, but owing to the suppression

and is saving several times as much
money as ever before.
Italy is suffering from dearth of
coal, which has closed most of her fac
| tories.
Some of the neutral countries of Eu-
rope, especially Denmark, Sweden and
Norway are becoming opulent from war
business. In Holland the upper classes
have made money, while there have
recently been food riots by the lower
classes.
