of sex. For this they were in no
wises responsible. The limitations OF
this sex accident can apparently be
wholly eluded by the simple expedi-
ent of cutting their hair, and dJnninc
a mans suit, shoes and hat.
As far as physical ability is COLI

20 correctional exclusion OF women
from certain empioymeuts seems so
unfair that they feel conscience clear
IN disregarding the laws OF the State
and social customs.
1t is. of course, a proceeding not To
be encouraged. Men and women are
not yet arrived ct that sexless state
OF perfection where they can herd to-
Fcther promiscUOUsly. But some Of
the prejudices tnat hinder the ad-

The men who object to the entrance
of women into some new field are
usually the inefficient and unsuccess-
full. who fear lest they could not stand
feminine competition. The sense Of
fairness has long ago said that any
work that woman can do without in
jury to herself should be open to her
on even terms.

GENERAL FUNSTON.

In the death of General Frederick
Funston the United States army has
has lost a highly capable officer and
first class fighter, while the United
States as a nation has been deprived
Of the services of loyal patriot and
an honest man. The city of San AntO
Mo, in particular, has lost a SINCERE
and disinterested friend.
General Funston was easily the most
picturesque figure in the army of the
United States. His varied and advent
urous career, his sturdy character
marked by intense loyalty to his
friends among all classes of people
made him one apart from the major
ity of men.
Throughout his life General Funs-
ton made a success of whatever he
undertook. Now that his work is fin
ished exceedingly few mistakes will
be found in it. Certainly, whatever
he did for his country was well and
wisely done. in the larger and be-
ter sense of the word he was pre-
eminently d successful man, and he
was at ell times and places, and under
all conditions, manly. man.
The nation has lost a soldier whom
il could i'll spare at any time, and least
of all Just now. His death has left a
Vacancy in the army which will not be
adequately filed for a long time TO
come.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube is infiamed you have {:

DISAGREEABLE WEATHER SENDS
Spring OVER THE HILL"

The Paris people who went around
a few days ago singing Springs just
over the HILL" because one warm daS
happened along, must have felt very
much disC1nceTned the other morn
ing, when they woke up and found
what a disgragreeable change had
come over the face of their landscape
The man who controls the weather
business stretched himself just a lit
tie bit too far on that morning
apparently. in an effort TO hip keep
up the ground hogs reputation. Fol
lowing 2 period of one or two warIa
days there came a heavy fall of rain
which later turned into sleet, hail and
then a mixed mass of heavy, wet
sticky snow that soon clogged up the
streets and sewers, and made the day
one OF the most disagreeable of the
season. Walking was almost impos-
sible on the pavements, and the melt
ing snow soon converted the streets
into pools and puddles of sticky, mush
slush a hundred times worse than the
heavy snow of some weeks ago.
Verify if spring was lust over the
hill'' a day ago, something must have
happened to the machine, and caused
it to get in reverse some way.
The heavy snow interferred very
seriously with the telephone service
of both the Cumberland and Home
Telephone companies, breaking down
wires. Several phones were burned
out by breaking wires becoming cross
ed with fire alarm and electric ligh.
wires, in East Paris, putting the tele
phones out OF commission. The ser
vices in the country districts was also
crippled by breaking limbs from trees
falling across the lines. The slusi,
made travelling on the county roads
an exceedingly disagreeable PROPOSE
ton.

TO TAKE UP PARls ON
TIE MIDLAND TRAIL

The Paris Commercial Club and all
citizens of Paris, who are interested
in the National highways which are
projected for the territory between
San Francisco and Jacksonville, Fla,
will soon be asked to stir themselves
in an effort to secure the Midland
Trail for Paris and Bourbon county
The only portion OF this great high
way which is now in doubt is the
stretch lying between Lexington and
Ashland and it is the intent of the
cities along the line to have the
Trail located so as to pass through
Paris to Maysville The Maysville
Chamber of Commerce has prepared
and forwarded a letter to that effect
to the Paris Commercial Club. The
other route that has been proposed
would pass from Lexington to Ash
land through a mountainous section
of the State where road building
would be an enormous task. Thi'
would cut out Paris and Bourbon
county. and Maysville and Mason
county. To avoid tits and TO secure
the cooperation of Paris, and Man
chester and Portsmouth, o.. the Mays
vile Chamber of Commerce has inau
gurated a get-to-gether campaign with
the commercial bodies of those thres
cities, in concerted movement to Sc
cure this great highway.
The value of this National highway
to Paris is a matter which should be
Of the greatest interest to every citi
zen of Bourbon coanty. During th=
tourist season, which is now close a.
hand, these popular highways are
traversed by from five to fifteen cars
q day, with an average of four people
to a car, which will bring TO Paris
daily twenty-five to fifty visitors, who
would spend from 81 to So each In

Making Militia Service Attractive.
Ii is generally admitted that thu
militia organizations of the several
States as a whole are not efficiently
developed, and would be a weak re.
source In case of war Some States
have very good militia forces. but in
the country as whole this is not the
case.
In many localities the National Guard
Is not popular organization. This
may be partly because these forces
are sometimes used to put down
strikes. If the State officials reso
lutely prevent the soldiery from ia.
voring either side in such quarrels.
and merely protect life and property
this element of unpopularity would
largely disappear.
Some Of the States build handsome
armories with pool tables. bowling
alleys. dance floors. They turn the
boys loose in this pleasant club life
without expense
Yet there is in many localities {,
tendency TO slur the militia forces
Many humorists always refer to then,
as Tin soldiers" Considering how
these tin soldiers responded in the
Spanish war. these humorists prob
ably never offered themselves for
any purpose of national defence.
Militia regiments have sometimes
discredited themselves by too much
high jinks at their encanpments.
With lot OF young fellows loose By
themselves. red blood boils over.
These sporty encampments have not
been nearly SO much of a factor in re-
cent years. since efforts have been
made TO improve these organizations
There is lot OF warm patriotism,
In the average young American. This
feeling is very much OF a motive in
seeking enlistment A vel conduct
ed militia develops manliness and
physical self-command, and is entitled
TO support from all gooOd citizens.

THE CHURCHES AND
NATURALIZATION

(From U. S. Department of Labor
Bureau Of Naturalization.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-Through-
out the country, from the pulpits of
churches of all denominations, the
doctrine of Citizenship Prepared
ness was again proclaimed yester-
day. Responding a second time to
the appeal of the Bureau of Nat
uralization Of the U. S. Department
of Labor, the clergy of the United
States with remarkably unanimity,
delivered citizenship sermons on the
date selected because of it's close
proximity to Independence Day.
The gospel of good citizenship was
enunciated in cities and hamlets to
large and prosperous congregations
and to small and struggling bands of
worshippers alike. From the pull
pit came the powerful plea that now,
with the nation fighting on the side
of righteousness and humanity,
American ideals and patriotism
should be instilled in the minds of
the foreign born residents of the
country
The second observance of Citizen
ship Sunday indicates the continued
cooperation of the churches in the
nationwide effort of the Bureau of
Naturalization to have increased ia
cilites provided for alien instruc-
ton. Last year, the request of
this progressive governmental agency
that Sunday be set aside for this
patriotic purpose was universally
compiled with and the suggestion
that it become a permanent, annual
institution was cordially Endorsed. 1t
was with a realization that the
churches could aid materially in for
warding the good citizenship move
ment and inspire immediate and ag-
gressive action in communities which
had hitherto failed to join this great
educational campaign, that the ap-
peal was made.
The results show the wisdom of that
appeal, for now the public school
authorities Of approximately 1900
cities and towns, cooperating with
the Bureau of Naturalization, are
extending night school instruction to
candidates for citizenship and in this
great work the churches of the
United States have been conspicu-
ously active.

tative of the group of employers
in the industry in which he is con-
nected. In substance this commun-
ication contained profuse expressions
of loyalty to the government and
expressed the desire to be of service
to the government in every possible
way, including the production of war
supplies.
The Joker was incorporated in
the closing paragraph of the COM
munication, which stated that a
strike had been in progress in this
industry for some time, and that
the group of employers would be
unable to render full service in the
production of munitions for the gov
eminent should the government fail
to lend assistance in breaking the
strike
at is gratifying to report that the
government was not misled in this
case, and, instead of lending it's as
sistance to break the strike, the pa
triotic gentlemen found it neces-
sary to enter into an agreement
which provided for a wage scale
considerably above that which they
had paid previous to the strike,
namely the scale paid in the same
vicinity in all union establishments"

: lost heavily, and Canada will try
to draw people from the United
States, as we'll as from England.
Mexico will probably be at peace;
and while Mexico is not inviting i'm
migration, she is planning to break
up the big monopolistic land hold
ings in that country and provide free
land for settlers. The same is true
of Australia
"Instead of surplus of labor,
there may be quite a universal short
age, and those countries that make
conditions most attractive for labor
are going to secure immigrants and
keep their own population. 1t would
not be surprising if hundreds of
thousands of able-bodied foreigners
leave the United States for Europe.
In fact, the steamship companies re-
port from 100000 to 100000 per-
sons are planning to return to Eu-
rope after the war. 1t may be
that the action of Europe in pre-
venting emigration, the curiosity and
desire of foreigners already in this
country to go back home, but most
of all the belief on the part of many
that they can acquire piece of land
in Europe, will convert America
from a nation of immigrants into
a nation of emigrants. Of course
this is speculation, but unless our
cities and states work out plans for
the more humane treatment of the
working classes in this country, such
an exodus is quite likely. Especial
ly is this true as to our land policy.
Immigrants want to own their own
farms, but wherever they turn they
find so many difficulties in the way
that they remain in the cities. Land
is held at speculative prices. Farm
ers have difficulty in marketing
their products. AS soon as a con-
siderable number settle in a COM
munity, the price of land goes up.
AS against this, western Canada is
planning to take taxes off houses,
improvements and farm products,
and in addition to put heavy tax
upon idle land, with the aim of
breaking up land speculation, espe-
cially the holding of land out of
use. Europe, too, is turning to the
land tax for the same purpose.
"Should Europe adopt a compre-
hensive land policy on the one hand,
and Canada on the other, it is quite
possible that the United States will
be confronted with permanent
shortage of labor, and that immi-
grants will leave this country-as
many have already done-for Can
ada; and not only for the latter
country, but for Europe as WELL"
