making almost superhuman eff
forts to induce the commission to
locate the plant in their respec-
i've districts, the three communi-
ties being Paducah and Wick
llife, In Kentucky, and Cairo, In
limos. OF the three locations,
onl y one is available, and that is
"lckliffe. One cannot but adj
illre the progressive, enthusiasts
Tic spirit of the citizens of Cairo,
who have made a valiant fight in
the past, buoyed up by the ele-
ment of civic pride which is APP
plauded by all. Such a display of
gameness is superbly commenda-
ble- But really Cairo cannot rea-
sonably expect the government
10 plant such huge sums of money
oehind the steel and concrete
wall which form the western
boundary of that city as a pro-
tection against the seething bill
lows of the mighty and trouble
some Ohio river. Such a deci-
sion on the part OF government s
agents, appointed for the pur-
pose of selecting a site for the
plant, would put them out as
beng emminently disqualified. In
the case of Paducah, the topo-
graphy of the country Is not in
vItIng to location of the plant.
A more desirable location for
Che armor plate plant cannot be
found In the United States than
the site offered by Wickliffe. On
chain of hills that form a back
ground for the Mississippi river
which flows at their feet, sur
rounded ON the south, east and
north by land that never over
flows, the government will have
access to an inexhaustible guam
tity of land upon which to firmly
establish its industry, with no
lurking fear that it might some
day be engulfed in the maelstrom
OF the destructive elements of
flood. In the matter of transpor-
tation facilities the Wickliffe site
has all the advantages that are
offered by the other contestants.
The Wickliffe site has two rail
roads and two rivers at its doors
and across the river many other
railroads are in easy access. In
short, it is an ideal location for
this immense industry, and Ger
talnly deserve the careful inspec-
ton of the commissioners.

FUNDAMENTALLY
DANGEROUS.

We have a copy of III. R.
1896, introduced in congress by
Rep. Randall, which IN part
reads:
"That no letter, package, pos,
tai card or circular, newspaper
pamphlet or publication of any
kind, containing any advertise
meht of spirituous. vinous, malt
ed, fermented, or other intoxIcat-
ing liquors, shall be deposited In
or carried by the mails of the
United States, or be delivered by
any postmaster or letter carrier
when addressed to other than a
lawfully licensed manufacturer OF
dealer in such liquors. Whoever
shall knowingly deposit or cause
to be deposited, or who shall
knowingly send or cause to be
sent, anything to be conveyed or
delivered by mail in violation of
this Act, or shall knowingly de-
liver or cause to be delivered by
mail anything herein forbidden
to be carried by mail, shall be
fined not more than $1,000, or I'M
prisoned not more than two years
or both, and for any subsequent
violation of this Act shall be I'M
prisoned not more than five
years.
Enclosed with this bill is a cir
cular in horse type" appealing
TO the newspapers to use their In
fluence to defeat this measure as
the principle involved is funda-
mentally dangerous"
Yes, dangerous to John Barley
corn; to the liquor interests-but
DOT to the clean, self-respecting
of our land. The
Courier doesn I care a snap how
"our freedom of the mails
Is curtailed when it comes to
carrying advertisements for the
death-dealing home-wreeking bus
mess for the distilleries and sa-
loon men We would just like to
be a member of Congress long E.
