His royal highness drew up a chair,

That the people as a whole have

1t is likewise interesting to follow

Digging Coal For Pershing.

One day last winter, when the coal
famine was at it's worst, Senator
from Ohio recited the blunders by
reason of which the great coal-pro-
ducing State was deprived of even
enough fuel to keep it's University
open and its people from freezing. "A
visitor in the gallery remarked: 81
wish that Senator would stop talking,
he is breaking my heart" Out in
Ohio this year they are no longer
breaking hearts, but they are produc-
ing coal. Production Manager ]. ],
Roby, at Cleevland, calls attention in
statement to the fact that General
Pershing demands 100000 tons more
a month than Washington figured on.
*tAll right" says Roby, "we'1l come
through with our part, and we are
now going $4,000 tons a week over
our share, and we will make it 55,-
900 TONS" That's the kind of a re-
sponse that is coming from every
portion of the country, and the Fuel
Administration is confident that it
will have enough coal for Pershing

Short On Foresight

Incidentally it may be said that Mr..
Lane is the only Cabinet officer who
has. definitely put forth plan for
meeting the conditions that must ex-
ist after the war. His receipt is to
provide lands which may be entered
by the returning soldiers. This plan
has good many difficulties to contend
with, as there are no millions Of
broad acres of homestead lands such
as existed at the close of the Civil
War. In the same connection with
Mr.. Lanes remarks comes the state
ment by one of the Senators that we
are as unprepared for peace as we
were unprepared for war. As a mat
ter of fact the readjustment for the
war time period has hardly been COM
pleted, as indicated by the difficulties
now being experienced by the short
line railroads. the power and traction
companies, oil interests and many
other activities.

Disabled Soldiers in Industry.

The Federal Board for Vocational
Education, assisted by the United
States Employment Service, proposes
to make real job out of the task of
placing disabled soldiers and sailors
in industrial employment.
For long time England permitted
volunteer associations to find jobs
for the disabled soldiers, and the plan
proved an absolute failure. Too many
employers offered to take the boys in
and give them jobs on the assumption
that it was their patriotic duty to
help the disabled. 1t didn't work!
Then England made a Government
affair of employment and found
places for their disabled soldiers and
sailors where the employer could
cheerfully write "for value received"
across the mans pay envelope.
The American Government is. fol-
lowing the latter course, and it is
training soldiers for industrial en-
ployment, spending six months or
more on each man. When he is pre-
pared for employment place is
found, and he is sent out to earn his
living in a way that makes him abso-
lutely independent; and the propo-
sition balances dollar for dollar be-
tween employer and employee. The
motto of Uncle Sam in this task is
mo sentiment" The operation Of
the whole plan is made absolutely
practical, since the disabled man
when turned into industry has been
evolved from the soldier into real
economic factor in the industrial life
of his country.

. A Long-Headed Move.

The old express companies had a
hard problem to figure out, when
they were left in the trenches and
dugouts, where they had been almost
forgotten in the process of the ere
ating of the Railway Administration.
They were just beginning to see day
light after period of virtual recon
struction following the rate-slashings
Of 1914. But the progressive men
who succeeded the old regime that
had fastened reproach upon the ex.
press business in the early days, met
their problems and brought about a
satisfactory solution. The readjust-
ment Of the industry deserves to be
ranked as one of the best of construc-
tive war time work The Railway
Administration gave its approval to
the big merger of the principal COM
panies; and as result all the re-
forms in the methods of the rail-
roads that had resulted from Govern
ment supervision and control, were
accepted by. the express companies.
Mr. McAdoo scanned the plan of con-
solidation, and the formula for his
control Of the companies as Railway
Administrator, and found the ar
rangement to be a splendid, one for
the Government While the rail-
ronAs were quibbling about their con-
tracts with the Government, the ex-
press companies had their arrange

devised in such a manner as appears
to have really given Uncle Sam very

has heard more about increased

GOVERNOR PROCLAIMS NOV. 2
AS FIRE PREVENTION DAY.

Governor Stanley has issued an Off
cial proclamation designating Satur-
day, November 2, as Cleanup and
Fire Prevention Day. In the procla-
nation the people of the State are
urged to make a general cleanup on
this day of all the rubbish around
cautions that will eliminate or at
least reduce to a maximum the dan
ger of fire. 1t has been estimated
that two-thirds of the fire losses in
the State are traceable to negligence
matches, children and mice, and SIM
liar causes. The waste caused by in
excusable fire losses is something en-
ormous. Thousands of tons of preci:
'ous food stuffs, millions of feet of
lumber, homes that cannot be re-
placed on account of the scarcity of
labor and material, are all destroyed
each year by fires which could have
been prevented with the proper care.
After setting forth these facts, Gov
ernor Stanley declares:
81 A. O. Stanley, Governor of this
Commonwealth, therefore designates
Saturday, November 2, 1918, as Fire
duu ftCCtuChI Lay, duQ
upon this day call upon the people of
this Commonwealth to remove from
their premises all substances which
are liable to produce fire. See that all
the heating devices and chimneys are
in safe condition, 1 recommend the
closest inspection, especially of store
houses and manufacturing plants,
hotels and factories, and call upon
the local authorities to give careful
attention to fire prevention, fire pro-
lection and the prevention of acci-
dents. / ask that fire drills and ex-
ercises be held in all public and pri-
vate schools, and that instructions
and lessons be given in Fire Protec-
tion and Fire Prevention, and against
accidents of every nature.

MAJORITY MAY DEPEND ON KEN
TUCKY.

In his Mayfeld speech, Senator
Beckham said that by reason OF
accident and death the Democratic
majority in the Federal Senate is
very small, and several Democratic
Senators are running in States nor
mally Republican. 1t is, therefore,
not out of the range of possibility
that Democratic control of the Senate
may depend on the vote of Kentucky.
1t is consequently of the utmost i'm
portance that not only Democrats,
but all who appreciate the efforts of
the President in the great crisis of a
world war, to support the Democratic
nominee in the Senatorial contest.
Upon his vote may depend the fate of
nations, as upon no hypothesis, would
it be cast except to aid and support
the policies of the man upon whose
shoulders rests the greatest burden
ever imposed on mortal. We do not
for moment question DR.. Bruner's
loyalty, but being a strict party man

and vote as the leaders of his party
would direct. At any rate and in any
event, it is foolish to take chances
when Democracy has a candidate
about whose support of the Admins
tration there can be no question and
whose ability to use that support
most effectively is born of capacity
and long experience in the halls of
Congress. Let every Democrat and
other supporter of the President
rally to the flag of the Democratic
Bearer, Governor Stanley,
and thereby prove to, him that Ken
lucky will not waver from a mani
fest duty nor send joy to the brute
Of Berlin by creating the impression
that the President has been repudi-
ated by his friends:

WAKE UP. DEMOCRATS!

One week from next Tuesday Is the
election when Kentucky will choose
United States Senator and eleven
Congressman. In Bourbon county
the Democrats appear to be in state
of lethargy, or, in other words,
they are asleep at the switch at a
very crucial time. If they are awake
they are not making the fact known.
On the other hand their opponents
are wide-awake, and working like
Trojans. They have this county
thoroughly organized and are going
to get out every vote. They are on
the job day and night, and they
think there is a fine chance to send
DR.. Bruner to the Senate instead of
Gov. Stanley. There is chance for
this to happen, if the Democrats do
not bestir themselves and get out
every vote in the city and county.
1t is the stay-at-home vote that will
constitute a dangerous factor and
very meaning one for the success of
the Republican ticket. And when the
Republicans go to the polls to vote
for DR.. Bruner, don't you know that
every one of them will vote the
straight ticket, which means vote
against Stanley and Congressman
Cantrill?
There is really danger of losing
both the Senator and the Congress
