RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Whereas one of our members, Mrs.
Olga Gam Gooch, has been promoted
from our midst to higher service in
the Heavenly Kingdom, be it resolv-
ed by the Mckinney Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union that in her
passing away this union has lost one
of its most royal and consecrated
members. A woman of beautiful,
christian character, ever ready to re-
spond with courage and good cheer
to each call to service in this most
holy qpuse of temperance. This or
ganizat|on has sustained a loss that
can not soon be recovered. Though
her i'll health caused her to see an
other climate a year before her
death, her comrades have not for
gotten her faithful service as former
secretary, and seldom was there
meeting at which her name was not
mentioned and ever will she be held
in loving memory in the hearts of the
members
Be it resolved that we extend to
her bereaved husband, sister and bro
Their the heartfelt sympathy of this
union and commend to them the
Heavenly Father, Whom she loved as
Comforter and Master
Be it further resolved that copy
of these resolutions be sent to them,
a copy sent to the Interior Journal
and to the Kentucky White Ribbon
for publication, and be spread upon
the records of the union
Done by order of the Mckinney
W. C. T. u, at it's regular meeting,
March %, 1918.

THE KAISER'S NEXT MOVE

DLAlNLf one of the purposes of the
German peace note was sharp divi
sion of political and group opinion in the
Allied countries. This, indeed seems to
have been the central motive of the vi

approval, in the name of his party, of the
Presidents brusque and uncompromising
retort is, therefore, the more timely and
appropriate.
If the Germans can think at all it must
be manifest to them by this time that the
force opposed to them s' not founded In
the theories or ideals of any individual or
class or group, but rests on the very four.
dations of civilized opinion. Senator

evident that the President will have the
fullest support of such political adver-
saries as might be expected, in a pinch,
to take advantage of shifting conditions
at Washington for their own benefit.
It is altogether improbable, too. that
there will be in England any such division
of political opinion as the Austrian En-
peror's note was designed to bring about.

THE READERS VIEWPOINT
What France Has Done for Morocco

Wnat france mas ZONE 1OT morocco
TO the Editor Of the Epening Public Ledger:
Sir-The marvellous achievements Of
France in Morocco since its occupation in
1912 are of great importance. as uselessS I
country has become one of value to the
world. It's great tracts of cultivable land are
admirably adapted to the raising Of wheat
and other grains. so that it will probably
become one of the great sources Of the
worlds food supply. The facts here pre-
sented are taken from an address to the
Royal Geographical SocI.ty and published in
the Geographical Journal for August. by one
who for thirty years has been British con-
sui at Fez-J. NJ. Macleod. He tells us
that tribal warfare prevailed over nearly
the whole country in 1912, but that now
there is just government, administered in
the interests OF all the people. Camel tracks
were then the only ways of communication.
Now there are 500 miles of macadamized
roads, 511 miles of railway and 100 in course
of construction. and 233S miles of telegraph
lines There We're virtually no ports six
years ago and Casablanca was a squalid
McIrsh town of 10000 inhabitants. Now
there number of .-orts furnished with
quays. stores and sanitary services. while
Casablanca has grown into a well-equpped
European town of $4,000 inhabitants. Every
disease then had its way unchallenged In
1916 there had been established sixty-eight
hospitals and dispensaries and about one in
every four of the inhabitants had medical
treatment. and there is every evidence that
in a generation the population will have
increased threefold. Especial attention has
been paid to educational privileges The
thirty-seven schools of six years ago have
increased to 1so. including a Franco-Arab
college at Fez. Agricultural, horticultural. Z
arboricultural, veterinary and meteorological
services have been established and annual
agricultural and cattle shows have been
instituted. All these are already prov
ing of the greatest value in improving the y
methods whereon the. chief wealth of the
country depends. The municipal nursery
gardens established at all the principal towns
do excellent work in inculcating proper
methods of fruit and vegetable growing. while
the veterinary service gives active assistance
in teaching better methods Of stock raising.
Morocco today, thanks to France is no more
an African. but a European country, with
the same economic laws and almost the same
method of life. j. NJ. H.

WE HAVE law whose purpose is nom

of a political committee, any officer of the
Commonwealth or of any county. the Mayor
Of any city or the head of any department
under him from making or permitting a
demand to be made for a contribution OF
money for political purposes upon any sub
ordinates
But the law provides that nothing in it
shall prevent any officer or employe from
making a voluntary contribution"
Sheriff Ransley has been asking the local
officeholders for voluntary contributions
and the Mayor has been saying that the
men need not pay anything unless they
choose.

entire new national House of Representa-
tives is to be elected. Men fit for the
work before them must be sent to Wash

ton to the pawnshops. If the loan value
Of thrift stamp is less than the loan
value of a share of corporation stock

much on securities that are the equivalent
