OHIO AND PROHIBITION.

The small margin of 1923 votes
by which state wide prohibition
was lost in Ohio compared with
the last vote on the same issue in
that state shows the splendid
and rapid progress made for the
cause of temperance in a state
where the liquor forces have
seemed almost impregnably for
titled. With one more good
hard pull near the top of the hill
Ohio will be redeemed and safely
landed in the ranks under the
white banner. We think that
Kentucky will be knocking at
the door in time to take her
place along with the great Buck
eye state.

If Adair county had good turn
pike running thru all sections of
the county and into the adj

no special need for railroad.
We are gratified to note the
progress already being made on
the Columbia and Jamestown
pike. A little more than a mile
of this important road has been
completed, and there should be
no let up on this project until tbe
two county seats are connected
by as good turnpike as we now

PROHIBITION AND KENTUCKY.

The writer has often said and
thought, during the past fifteen
years, that if the people of Ken
tucky-by the unwritten law of
Democracy could get a vote on
the issue Of State wide probition,
the temperance cause would car
ry by $4,000 or more. This has
been gibed at by wet politicians
and the growth of the sentiment
too often suppressed by dry pol.
iticians for fear of the cessation
of the issue. and the incidental
loss of a job.
But the time is at hand how
when the odious element of
both sides of this issue can fence
and stage play no longer at the
expense of a sincere and God
fearing people.
Kentucky has for years been a
dry state, and she is a dry state
to. day. There has never been a
good reason offered for denying
in a Democracy to the people the
right to vote on any question,
great or small, and according to
the majority the right to rule.
We believe that the Legislature
of 1918 will do its full duty by
the people of Kentucky on this
issue, and the issue will soon
thereafter be finally and forever
settled by the people themselves
This Legislature is made up Of
able men who have been com
missioned to represent the people
at serious and critical time in
the. affairs of the State and Ma
ton. We go farther than some
of our contemporaries and urge
this legislature to declare its In
dependence, not only of exec
utive control" but equally so it
independence of the insidious in
fluences of the agitator in Sheep
apparel who wants to hold hi
job indefinitely to enjoy in fat
tened hypocracy the shekels O.
our God fearing mothers and ia
theirs in Israel that might b.

the cause of the Red Cross, o

people with false system of finance
The monied interest always use the
national peril to force advantageous
terms for themselves. j. p. Morgan,
Jr., is credited with having made
more money since 1914 than J. P,
Sr., did in lifetime, and we thought
he was a colossus. Such men always
pose as public benefacsors saving the
country, but under cover they never
fail to drive the hardest bargains.
There is one factor about this war
which is unlike any other. 1t is be-
ing fought entirely on credit, and it
would seem that the point of evhaus-
tion for all concerned is not far of. .
Men have quit thinking in millions,
the bond issues are in billions. The
accumulations Of many generations
have been destroyed, and mortgage
for all time placed upon the labor and
property of generations yet unborn.
The last world war was when France
ran mad under Napoleon. These wars,
however, practically paid their own
way. Napoleon used funds derived
from taxation and forced levies on
the conquered countries. All Of the
nations in this war are mortgaging
posterity and burning the money up
in powder and smoke. In the March
number of Harpers magazine, Mr.
Jospeh E. Davis gives some astound-
ing figures on the cost of the war 1t
is costing all the nations 110 millions
dollars. a day. The aggregate earn
ings of all the people in all the coun-
tries in 81 million a day, so that for
every day that the war continues they
spend five times the daily saving Of
the people. In the first two years of
the. war the governments borrowed
DO billions of dollars. This vast sum
of course will never be- repaid, but the
interest must be met unless there is
wholesale reputation by the nations
concerned, which is unthinkable. If
the war finishes out another year, the
debt will be about 100 billion dollars,
to which must be added thirty bill
lion for the debts existing when war
was declared. This makes 1870 billion
which is greater than the total wealth
of either England or Germany and
more than the combined wealth of
Italy and France. It will take 25
cents annually out of each dollar for
every man, woman and child in all
the warning countries to pay the in
terest. The flower of all the nations
is being killed or crippled so how
will the people pay 25 cents on the
"oiieti III iiISiCott ClclE gov
ernment, pay war pensions and have
anything left to live On. 1t certainly
looks as if it would be impossible to
continue to maintain standing armies
on a large scale. The interest on this
debt will be six times greater than
all the taxes collected in the British
empire during the last year of peace.
All of the taxes collected, Federal,
state, town and county in the United
States last year was fifteen hundred
million dollars and this would not pay
the interest one year as four per cent
on Great Britain's share of the war
debt. What does it all mean? Are
the nations of the world bent on sui
eide? But yesterday scientists were
busy hunting disease germs and maxi
ing serums to prolong human life. We
were building hospitals and asylums,
providing retreats for the aged and
