4 To God Of Peace.

Mayor [. 7. Fielder remarked a
few days ago that II there ever had
bean day when all people should
close their doors and spend
the day in ankseivine to the God
ofPeace, who has just delivered
the world from the most horrible
war In all Its history. 1t should be
doue on this, Thursday the day
set apart by the President Of the
nation and the Governors Of all the
States for that express purpose.
He said he hoped that all business
men Of Lexington, all professional
men and officials would close their
doors against business on this day.
Whether or not this has been done
can be seen by q look around the
public square--but surely all can
refrain for this one day from the
chase after Mammon--for the God
of Deliverance and Mammon car
not both be served on this day OF
OH any other.

Urged to Hold Cot
ton for IS Cents.

On last Saturday, at Atlanta,
Georgia, j. ]. Brown, president Of
the Cotton States Official Advisory
Marketing Board, issued joint
proclamation signed by the govern
ors Of eight cotton states, urging
farmers, merchants, bankers and
other business men to organize and
hold cotton for not less than IS
cents a pound, midling basis. The
proclamation is an endorsement Of
recommendations made by the
board on the 7th Of November, the
board having figured out that price
to be equal to the cost of produc-
ton. plus fair profit. The procla-
nation signed by the eight govern
ors says that the recent heavy
break IN cotton prices is wholly UNI
justified by existing conditions.
The farmer does not feel it to be
fair when the price of bleach do
nestle remains at 80 cents or more
per yard. The plan suggested is
the only one by which the farmer
can protect himself-by organiza-
tion-at least enough of oreaniza-
ton to keep him from being the
victim Of slumps in the prices of
his products and at the same
time continuation Of high prices of
articles made from those products.

It is not satisfying to think that
after more than four years Of war
not rood Of German territory has
been devastated and not wheel
of industry damaged except that
done by the bombs dropped East Of
the river Rhine. While practically
all Of Belgium and Northern France
must be rebuilt, entailiDg many
years Of work, even if Germany is
made to foot the bill, all Of Ger
many stands intact as before the
war and when peace comes every
industrial wheel in Germany is
ready to turn-to 90 to work pro-
ducing the many things the world
will need. These facts bring the
disposition in the balance Of the
world to make Germany the just
victim Of a commercial boycott for
at least period otter the varied
industries Of the world resume op-
GRAFTON. Such a boycott may not
be instituted after the peace con-
ference fixes the price Germany
must pay, but millions of people in
this country will for many years
steer clear Of any article branded
Made in Germany" We'd rather
deliberately boycott German-made
goods than to attempt to keep them
out Of the United States by tariff
taxation.

In the last weekend Senator Kel-
logg Republican) Of Minnesota,
charged that the taking Of marine
cable lines under government con-
troll was part of a plan to establish
permanent government ownership
Of telephone, telegraph and cable
wires and Immediately after the at
tack Senator Lewis Democratic
whip) introduced resolution pro-
posing exactly what Senator Kel-
logg had charged, and including
ships, railroads and other public
utilities, under permanent govern
ment ownership. Senator Watson,
who seems to be violently anti
Wilson, made speech charging the
President with desiring to take ov-
er the cable lines for the purpose Of
suppressing what is discussed at
the peace conference; also in order
that those in the peace conference
will not know what is being said in
the Congress of the United States.
Everything the President does seems
to have some sinister motive in the
mind of Watson--but Woodrow
Wilson will be held in history as a
great and good man long after the
existence Of Watson has been for
gotten.

nearly finished the work of raising
SOS, 90 for the benefit of the Catho-
lie Home of the Good Sheppard,
which home is conducted by the
good sisters who are working for
the reclamation Of wayward girls
and young women. Of this sum
$4,000 was needed to pay a debt
incurred by the sisters who them
selves receive no remuneration for
their ceaseless work. In the cam
paign valuable contributions have
been made by prominent Protestant
ministers and laymen among whom
have been noticible the names Of

Piece Views of
Henry Watterson.

Hon. Henry WatterSon was asked
to make an address at a Victory
Day" celebration in Louisville. The
condition of his health not premit-
ting him to comply with the request,
he wrote the following letter:
If | may not contribute my per-
son to your festival, let my pen set
down briefly in black and white
what my heart feels and my tongue
would utter.
We must do nothing in passion,
or in haste. We owe not relenting
to Germany, or the Germans. But
to our own honor. behind us two
centuries of Christian history, be-
fore us the gulf of eternity and the
grace of God, we owe the homage OF
a sublime duty, sanctifed by heaven
and irradiated by the precepts of
Him of Galilee who died upon the
cross that we might live, leaving us
the blessed heritage Of religious
system, which, except in theory, we
have nowhere nowise observed.
This is time to take account
|of ourselves. Mindful and brave
men never gloat over fallen foe
Do not misunderstood me, In en-
ploying that word refer not to the
Hohenzollern, or the Hapsburg.
They have already arrived. They
have at last received what was
coming to them. When we speak Of
mercy | refer to the myriads they
bamboozled with the holy name Of
Fatherland and drove to slaughter
like sheep to the shambles.
The Tueton masses knew as little
what they were doing as that mob
in Jurusalem. Beyond the pay
|of the indemnity they owe to France,

have discharged the debt they are

have at no time doubted the
results Of the war. My prayer to
God has been and is that it will
make the world Of action and
thought a better world--of men
and women nobler, truer, tenderer
men and women. We are to re-
joice that the war is ended, that
autocracy is dead forever, and that
peace stands smiling at the door.
Peace in the quiet dales
Made rankly fertile by the blood Of
men,
Peace in the woodland and the lone.

Peace in the peopled vales!'
Peace in the crowded town,
Peace in thousand fields of wav-
ing grain,
Peace in the highway and the
flowery lane,
Peace DER the wind.swept down.

Peace where the scholar thinks, the
hunter roams,
Peace, God Of peace, peace, peace in
all our homes,
And peace in all our hearts!"
