Dave Vance Announces for Justice
Of the Peace.

This week we formally an
nounce the candidacy of David
A. Vance for Justice of the
Peace TOR the first Magisterial
district of Morgan county, sub
ject to the action of the Dem
ocratic primary August A, 1917,
and in doing so we have no
misgivings as to his qualifications
and fitness to perform with
fairness and justice, the duties of
the office to which he aspires.
The duties of a Justice of the
Peace are manifold and import
ant. The Fiscal Court is the
financial head of the admin
istration of the county's finances,
the building and upkeep of its
highways and bridges as well as
the enforcement of the law and
the maintenance of order.
A Justice of the Peace should
know enough to differentiate be
tween the right and the wrong
and knowing should be honest and
courageous enough to dispense
even handed justice between
man and man.
Dave Vance is fearless and in
corruptible and is otherwise com
petent and qualified to perform
the duties of the office to which
he aspires. His word is as goo,
as his or any other mans bond
When his own business is atten,
ed to he puts in what remaining
time, if any he has, lettini
other peoples affairs alone
He asks this nomination at the
hands of the members of the
political party to which he has
always given loyal service, but
if nominated and elected he will
be the servant of no party, or.
ganization or individual-he
will keep sacred his oath to
faithfully and impartially per.
form the duties of the Office Of
J Justice of the Peace. .'.l
I The Courier asks the voters oi
this district to carefully consider
his candidacy before casting
their votes on August A.

THE TRAITOR
Berton Bradley in Cincinnati Post

He hangs out a flag from his home and Office
He always stands up at The Star Spanged Banner"
In talks and discussions he rails at the Prussians
And handles the kaiser in virulent Manner
He always is present at loyalty meetings,
And up on the platform he pays for a seat
(The price dosen't matter-his profits are fatter
Since war gave him chances for cornering wheat)
He talks with emotion of brave soldier addies"
Or noble young jackies who sail on the foam"
Then shootf up the price on potatoes and rice
And other things needed abroad and at home;
He praises brave mothers who give their sons freely
Then soaks those same mothers for clothing and food
But if you cry traitor" this smooth speculator
Will think you are one of lunatic brood
Yet Benedict Arnold was only piker
Compared with the man who amid all the strife,
Will seize on the chances to force huge advances
In things that nation depends on for life.
He did his foul work in the war of secession
He poisoned our boys in the conflict with Spain
High up on gibbet we ought to exhibit
This traitor who holds up nation for gain!

Special Announcement
A Business Proposition.

Say, Reader, have you any bus
mess sense? Are you a judge Of
good investments? Are you any
sort of an expert in commerc ii
values?
DO you know that the best a.
set-the greatest natural resour ,e
of Morgan county is its child
ren? And that the second best
asset is the common school, where
these children are trained and
made to become more valuable
than they otherwise would?
Yes, you know all this. But
do you know that there will short
ly come a time when a common
school education, without some
more educational training, will
not be considered in any sense a
proper preparation for life?
That those who have only COM
mon-school education will be
found in the rear ranks of every
forward advance? And that it
follows-a natural conclusion
that we must leaven the popula-
tion of our county with an ever
increasing number of high-school
graduates, if we are to be pros
porous in our private and public
affairs, and hold the high posi-
ton we have attained in the citi-
zenship of Kentucky?
Now, the only school in Nor
gan county which offers a COM
plete standard high-school course
is the West Liberty High School.
Hence. those who acquire this in
dispensible high-school training
unless they go outside their coun-
ty for it, must come here to get
! it. But here lies a great difficult
ty:. Discreet parents will not
send immature boys and girls to
this school unless there is some
place where they can be proper
ly housed, disciplined, and other
wise intelligently cared for.
Thus We arrive az the sconcius-
ion that the one overwhelming
need of Morgan county is A DOR
MfToRY AT WEST LIBERTY,
where students, coming in from
the'country, can be rightly pro-
vided for in every respect, and
where the interest of both par
ents and children can be proper
ly safe-guarded. Such a build
lng-or buildings-would form
4 the connecting link between the
Things that are and the things
that ought to be, so far as edu-
catlonal progress in Morgan coun-
ty. is concerned.
The writer has spoken private
ly to a few local citizens and
friends of the school, and all are
strongly in favor of making some
: kind of vigorous effort to build s
Fdormitory. We are informed
that there has been more or les.
J talk in the past about this mat
ter of dormitory at West Liber
, ty. But talk alone will neve

To the Friends Of the Kentucky
Children'S Home Society.

In the present grave crisis of
our country, we mustp face the
unusual conditions caused by the
war, and use every means to re-
duce the high cost Of living,
which is becoming a burden not
only to the wage-earner, but also
to the salaried man.
We do not know how long this
war will last, but we do know
that it will drain our country of
her splendid young men. So
many Of them, from the farms
as well as from the city, will re-
spond to the call of their country,
that there will be a scarcity Of
labor, especially on the farm,
during the next few years, and
we must be prepared to meet
these conditions.
For their own protection, far
mers should avail themselves of
every opportunity to secure help
on their farms, which, they ad-
nit, is already hard to get. For
mercenary reasons, if for no 9TH
er, farmers will want sufficient
hands to take care of their crops,
= but we know our farmers are
= just as patriotic as the men who
n go to the front.
\ We feel that we can help the
d farmers to solve their problem
!. of securing help during the COM
d ing years, and they can help US
: by taking our boys and girls into
g their homes.
:. We have 2l9 wards here in the
, Receiving Home, whose ages
, range from q few months to 18
years: approximately
10 girls, 2 years and under,
II girls, 8 years to 6 years,
: sc girls, Z years to 13 years,
II girls, IA years to 18 years,
2l boys, 2 years and under,
4S boys, 3 years to 6 years,
So boys, 7years to 8 years,
IL boys, 10years'to II years.
! Many of our children are as
r bright and attractive as any one
: could wish; we have others who
have some slight defect, but who
are capable of being trained to
do their share of work in the
] home or on the farm.
> A large number of our children
| are too young now to render
much service, but in a few years
hence they will be of great value
4 to the people who are generous
enough and ar-sighted enough
to avail themselves of getting a

and will be of great value to its
