Hon. Chares c. Fox, of Danville,
one of the best known lawyers of this
| section of the state. and Z leading
democrat, had strong card in the
! Banville Advocate of recent issue, on
the whisky question. He wrote as
follows:
There is no question confronting
the American people today of more
vital Importance than the whisky
! question, involving, as il does, the
moral and financial welfare of our
! people, and we are reioiced to see
that the States and the Nation itself
have walked up and are realizing the
/ Importance Of this most vital matter
| The history of our nation shows, we
think, without any doubt. that not
| less than seventy-tive per cent. of all
crimes that are committed are trace
! able to whisky. \ large per cent of
| the lunacy, and certainly of the pow
erty. Of the people are due to whisky.
\ large per cent. of the accidents on
! railroads and trolley lines are also
| traceable to whisky, and it is also the
direct cause of the ruin of Il large per
cent of the fallen women The eff
cheney and capability of accomplish
ment of the people of our nation i'm
all the occupations of life would be
largely increased by the total aboli-
ton of the use of whisky. Can any
man or woman prove that it has ever
done any good? Twenty-three of the
forty-eight States of our union have
voted whisky out, and it will not be
long, Judging from the present atti-
tude of the people on this subject,
until Il large majority of the States
will have put their ban on it, But
what about the United States Gov
ernment? As long as Uncle Sam au-
thoriZes the manufacture and sale of
whisky it will be very difficult, if not
almost impossible, for the States to
entirely eradicate it. Our nation is a
brotherhood of States, and if the head
of the family encourages the manu-
facture and sale of liquor, it will be
very hard for the members Of the
household to eradicate ii. Ii will be
very difficult to stop the sale of it,
even in prohibition states, until Uncle
Sam cuts it out.
We have read and have heard said |
many fine things on this most vital
question, but have never heard fall
from the lips of man any expression
or thought that SO conclusively goes
to the very foundation of this vital
matter as the statement made by
Abraham Lincoln in 1853, and which |
is as follows:
"The liquor traffic is IA cancer in
society eating out its vitals and |
threatening destruction, and all at
tempts to regulate it will not only
prove abortive but aggravate the evil. |
There must be no more attempts to |
regulate the cancer; it must be Grad |
icated; for until this is done, all |
classes must continue exposed to be-
come the victims of strong drink. The |
most effectual remedy would be the |
passage of law altogether abolish |
ing the liquor traffic. Law must pro-
tect and conserve right things, and |
punish wrong things, and if .hsre is |
any evil in the land that threatens
society or individuals more than an
other, it is the liquor traffic

Well, we have the General Assem-
bly, with us again at Frankfort, and
as usual it will cost the taxpavers
something. The tax question, which
it will consider, is the hardest prob
lem with which any law making body
has to contend, and we wouldn't be
u mite surprised if 60 days were
spent in Frankfort by the members
and not thing accomplished. If the
bills submitted by the special tax
commission are put through, it will
simply be because they have behind
them the solid influence of what is
known as the Estate Administra-
ton" If Stanley wants to shove them
over, he can probably do so, for the
regular 1916 session seemed to indi-
cate that he controlled" enough
members to do about as he wished.
Quite number of the members. how
ever, are either candidates for re-
election or candidates for some other
offices, and this may have salutary
effect, for the people back home are
going to scan the work of this spec
ial session mighty closely, and most
of the members will probably en-
deavor to follow the wishes Of the
folks at home little more closely
than some of them did at the Regular
session last year.

ity and forethought, makes it plain
that you cannot regulate the use of
whisky, that vou must eradicate it or
cut it out. Our people have been try
ing for more than hundred years
to regulate it, but this course has
proven failure. If the people VIII
see that prohibition anne ndnent he
added to our Constitution. then the
victory will be won, and result N the
greatest blessing to our nation and
its people morally, financially. and in
every way, that it is possible for the
mind to conceive.

LIGHTNING FREAKS AT AMEs.
Queer Franks Performed by Storm

Ames, July 17.--During the thunder
storms of the last two weeks many
freaks of nature have been performed
by lightning. AT Colo bolt OF hght-
ming struck a livery barn, the bolt
running along the inside of the ROOF,
then penetrated the hay which hlled
the loft, and killed a horse in stable
below, yet the hay was not ignited'
Other than killing the animal no dam
age was done.
In Ames huge tree was in the pain
Of a lightning streak. Apparently the
tree was struck near the top, as the
trunk was split into several pieces
and had the pieces been hued with an
AK no better fence posts could nave
been made than were produced by the
lightning.
Near Maxwell a steer and two hogs
were electrocuted by lightning dis
charges. Only the persuasion OF MS
mother kept Guy Robertson, owner OF
the stock, from being at the very spot
where the bolt struck, as he was in
the act of carrying feed to the hog lot,
and his mother protested because OF
the severity of the thunderstorm.
Many reports also have been re-
Ceived here of the loss of valuable
shade trees and live stock from the
electrical discharges. Fires have re-
