DIGEST Of STATE POLITICS.

The people and tax payers
hoped that the extra session of
the Legislature in 1917 would
pass a tax measure that would
accomplish at least three things:
More equitable distribution of
taxes; the greater exploitation of
our resources by putting into
general development large
amounts of idle capitals and bring
ing into the state more outside
capital: and diminishing as rapid
ly as possible the outstanding
debt Of the state. The new law
looks better than the old one,
and with amendatory simplifi-
cation will in time accomplish the
first two objects. The third can
never be accomplished, we fear,
except by constitutional provis-
ion for a bond issue and sinking
fund. 1t will certainly never be
accomplished thru the promises
Of candidates of political parties.
Wilson and Hager wed with each
other in platitudinous pledges.
McCreary and O'Rear made it
appear a cinch for each in their
pledges to che people, while Nor
row and Stanley in their almost
tie contest of 1915 could on oc-
casions cease to prate about
"the wizard of finance" to
promise by the saints in glory
that each would in four years
make the platter clean. We have
seen little difference between the
two men as statesmen save that
one is a republican and the other
a democrat; and until both par
ties get away from the weak
ness of nominating wind jam

THE LOOSE LEAF MARKET.

A leading farmer in Adair
County sold last week his crop
of tobacco outside of the market,
where competition is afforded by
the presence of buyers who es-
tablish market values, for an
average Of II cts per pound.
This farmer saw this same to-
bacco sell the next day on the
loose leaf floor for an average Of
% cts per pound. The disparity
in price and consequent loss to
the farmer represents practically
what tobacco use to sell for when
the farmer was at the mercy of
the man higher up. Now when
the farmer has an opportunity
for good living prices for his
products, he is. here in Adair
county, handicapped for the lack
of a market at home. Hundreds
Of farmers who would market
their tobacco at Columbia and
spend more Of their money here,
would gladly support the organi-
cation Of a loose leaf market
here. They are already seeing
the great loss to them, by mo-
having had a loose leaf market
already organized, for the
sale of the crop of this season.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Wilson in his mes
sage to Congress makes vigor.
GUS prosecution Of the war, with
no alternative but victory in the
end, the condition of peace with
Germany. In urging a declara-
ton of war with the other belli-
gerent enemies, he takes the
only practical view of a neces'
sary step in the more speedy and
successful prosecution of the
war. 1t Is estimated that there
are more than a million alien
enemies in the country from
those nations who are in SYM
patty with Germany. A decla-
ration of war with Austria and
the other hostile nations is nec-
essary in order to put a better
check upon the secret agents of
these foreign nations, and upon
the German propadandists and
paeifists, that many of our peo-
pie may not be misled into the
pitfalls and snares of German in.
trigue which have brought about
the downfall and disgraceful dis,
ertion of Russia.
The Presidents message will
have a Wholesome effect upon the
entire country, and will tend to
allay any fears. that this country
will allow the Russian desertior
of her allies and benefactors, tt
stand in the way of victory, that
peace, when it does come, may
be dominant and enduring f0l
the worlds safety, and for vorlc

TRAINING SCHOOL.

Nothing has pleased US more
on our advent to Columbia than
to fnd a community of such uni
Yersal culture and intellectual
refinement. By comparison with
many less fortunate small cities,
it does not take the visitor and
newcomer long to discover the
incentives that have brought
such high standards of social
life, and the causes that have
made this delightful city of Co.
lumbia so attractive to people
seeking homes. This, when one
looks around, must be attributed
to the splendid institutions of
learning that have been long
fostered under the influence of a
patronage whose first aim has
been to maintain at home the
facilities for q liberal education
for their children. No institu
ton of learning has done more
for a community in Kentucky
than has the Lindsey Wilson
Training School. founded and
maintained for the purpose Of
meeting a need that has long
been splendidly supplied for this
section OF Kentucky by this great
Institution. Itisa school of the
highest merits where the oppor-
tunities for { good secondary
educstion are superior. It has

Hon. R. B. Trigg, of Glasgow
is the State Senator from the
counties of Adair, Barren and
Metcalfe. He is a Major in the
army and is assigned to Camp
Lee, Va, and it is not believed
that he will be able to attend the
coming session of the Legisla-
ture which will convene at
Frankfort in a few weeks. The
district should be represented,
and we take it that Mr.. Trigg
will resign in due time for some
one to be elected in his stead.
Barren county will be entitled to
the candidate for the short term,
and Adair county will take
pleasure in supporting the can
didate she puts out. Mr.. D. E.
