PATRIOTISM.

A nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men who
cultivate them; not by its great for
ests, but by the men who use them;
not by its mines, but by the men who
work in them; not by its railways,
but by the men who build and run
them. America was a great land
when Columbus discovered it; Amer
leans have made of it a great Ma
ton.
In 1875 our fathers had vision Of
new Nation conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal" Without
an army they fought the greatest Of
existing world empires that they
might realize this vision. A third of
a century later. without a navy they
fought the greatest navy in the
world that they might win for their
Nation the freedom of the seas. Half
a century later they fought through
an unparalleled Civil War that they
might establish for all time on this
continent the inalienable right of
life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness. A third of a century later

gave back Cuba to Cubans. sent an
army of schoolmasters to educate for
liberty the Filipinos, asked no war
indemnity from their vanished enemy
but paid him leberally for his enemy
erty. Meanwhile they offered land
freely to any farmer who would live
upon and cultivate it, opened to for
eign immigrants on equal terms the
door of industrial opportunity, shared
with them political equality, and pro-
vided by universal taxation for uni
versal education.
The cynic who can see in this his
tory only a theme for his egotistical
satire is no true American, whatever
his percentage, whatever his birth
place. He who looks with pride upon
this history which his fathers have
written by their heroic deeds. who
accepts with gratitude the inheri-
lance which they have bequeathed to
him, and who highly resolves to pre-
serve this inheritance unimpaired
and to pass it on to his descendants
enlarged and enriched, is true
American, be his birthplace or his
parentage what it may.

BIBLE MUST BE
REWRITTEN, SAY GERMANS

According to copy of the German
newspaper, Kerzzeitung, of Berlin,
received at The Hague. the Germans
are going to re-write the Bible. The
article says:
IF any further proof we're needed
of the Unreasonable superiority of
the Germans. intellectually and NOR
ally, over the rest of mankind. it is
to be found in the mental attitude of
our people toward the Bible as COM
pared with that of other nations.
1.-THE English regard that book as
their most valuable commercial as
set, and use it mainly as a form of
barter with savage tribes for their
good will, their assistance, and the
supply of their natural products, and
in England itself it is exploited sole
ly in the propagation of that spirit OF
hypocrisy which has stood the Brit
ish in such good stead fJr ages to
hoodwink and despoil other races.
'It must be one of our first tasks
on the conclusion of this war, when
Germany shall arise out of it renewed
in power and vitality like another
phoenix, to set board If qualified
experts to work to produce, not only
for our own benefit, but also for the
moral uplifting of mankind, new,
a more glorious, purer Bible. in

GUARDING A NAVAL sEcRtT.'
How England cIoaIssd che Building o.
New Type Of Cruiser.

How England cIoaIeod The Building o.
New Type Of Cruiser.
In Europe extraordinary precautions
are taken by all the great powers to
mask their military plans, and con-
slant efforts are made to ferret out the
military designs Of opposing govern
ments. Admiral William s. Sims of
the United States navy threw an inter-
esting sidelight on this phase of pre-
paredness when testifying before the
house committee.
''To show the extreme Importance OF
this matter of new type" said Ad-
miral Sims, when Great Britain first
built these vessels swift and powerful
battle cruisers) extraordinary precau-
lions were taken to prevent her posi-
BILE enemies learning their characters
tics. Great Britain had a number of
armored cruisers, and Germany had a
number Of them. Great Britain knew
that If she could build a number of
these battle cruisers that had battle
ship guns and twenty-eight knot speed
in other words, more speed than any
other cruisers I'm the world and guns
stronger than those of any other cruis-
ers-she would thus be away ahead for
a long time.
"She laid down three Of those YES
sells. In the estimates they were called
armored cruisers, and everybody in the
world supposed that simply three more
armored cruisers would come out, With
ordinary guns, which are 90 inch, etc.
They were going to mount on these
vessels eight twelve-inch guns apiece,
and they were going to give them a
higher speed.
You can conceal the speed, Of course,
while the vessel is building, but 1t was
wholly impossible to conceal the fact
that they were building twenty -four
twelve-iDch guns that could not other
wise be accounted for. Great Britain
did not want other nations to know
that these were going to be carried by
these three cruisers. So they induced
Turkey to sign a contract for those
guns, and a certain foreign attache i'm
London paid not less than 1000, or
$4,000, to officials Of the companies to
get to look at their books and assure
himself that the guns were being built
for Turkey. OF course they pestered
Turkey to find out what she wanted
with twenty-four twelve inch guns, but
i'm the meantime the vessels were COM
pleted and the guns mounted before
foreign nations knew that q radically
new type Of vessel was i'm existence.
THE British wanted to get that type
out because I'm any conflict with an
other navy that did not have similar
vessels the British would have a great
advantage. Their scouting power was
so great and their powers Of destruc-
ton so great that anything except a
battleship was practically helpless be-
fore them."-Spokane Spokesman Re-

Our Fish Supply.

Officials of the FISH and game de-
I2-tment of this State are trying
hard this season to stock the streams
OF almost every county better than
ever before, and they should have
the hearty cooperation of every cit
izen of Kentucky. Out of the streams
OF Bourbon county is coming even
now as good as may be found any
where. and food that costs but few
cents Each fish taken from the
streams of the county means a con-
servation of various other foods that
can only be had at wartime prices,
and then not in such quantities as
mer years.
In view of the fact that thousands
Of people in the State. and hundreds
of them right here i'm Bourbon coun-
", will be enabled to cut the cost of
living a good deal during the sum-
mer months by eating fish taken from
local streams. greater conservation of
the finny tribe should be the rule
from now on. The smallest fish will
sometime, If permitted the freedom of
the waters, become large enough to
edible size, care should be used in
removing ii from the hook. and It
should be returned to the water i'm
mediately. The bucket of minnows
still on hand at the close of a days
sport should not be thrown into the
grass at the side of the stream. Some
of the minnows apparently dead may
revive in fresh water, and the con-
tents of the bucket should be emptied
into the stream.
Came wardens are guarding
against fish hogs" more closely now
than ever before. The man with net
and dynamite and lure is coming to
be looked upon not only with disre-
spect, but with hatred by the gen.
eral public. Taking fish in any way
recognized by the statutes of Ken
lucky as illegal is stealing in the
meanest form, and every case, even
where there is only cause for suspi-
cion, should be promptly reported.
Conservation of fish in the streams
OF Bourbon county is another form
Of getting the cost of living back
where we'd like to have il.

1t goes without saying that the
good people of Paris and Bourbon
county will undoubtedly respond
with patriotic ardor TO the procla-
nation of President Woodrow Wilson
designating the week ending June
25 as Red Cross Week" in which
all are called upon to give gener-
ously and in a spirit of patriotic sac
rifice for the support and mainten-
ance of this work of National need. :"
AS President Wilson points out in
this proclamation, "All men, women
and children alike may serve, and
serve effectively, by making it posi-
BILE to care properly for those who
do serve under arms at home and
abroad"
In this war the American Red
Cross will be under its supreme test
of efficiency. On how it will meet
this test will depend, in large meas
ure, the success of our arms. And on
how it is supported by the hundred
million people at home will its con-
tinued efficiency depend.
Patriotic and whole-souled sup
port of the Red Cross is a duty
which no one can evade and call him
self true American. The good wo-
meI Of Paris and Bourbon county
have certainly done their share in
striving to arouse the citizens to the
needs Of the Red Cross and it is now
up to mere man TO come across with
some of the spare change that he
may be devoting to less worthy OBJ
jects.

The Pocket STAGE.

1t may fairly be claimed that human
ity has within the past hundred years
found a way Of carrying a theater In
its pocket, and so long as humanity re-
mains what 1t is it will delight in tax
ing out it's pocket stage and watching
the antics Of the actors, who are so
like itself and yet SO much more inter
esting. Perhaps that is, after all, the
best answer to the question. What is
a novel?" 1t is, or ought to be. a pocket
stage. Scenery, light, shade, the actors
themselves, are made of words and
nothing but words, more or less clev-
erly put together.-F. Marion Craw-

Crows and Crops.

The biological survey Of the depart
ment of agriculture has investigated
the relation Of crows to man. The es-
sential conclusions are that crows are
about equally beneficial and injurious
and that they are not so wary and sa-
gacious as not to need legal protection.
Lack Of this, while not endangering
the species, will permit farmers to pro-
tect their crops or other property when
ever necessary.
