principles Of political equity which all
other Americans of the continental
United States now enjoy. and to guar

portion Of every national tax, whether
billions Of war tax or millions of peace
tax, like other Americans. We are en-
titled. like other Americans, to rep
resentation in the legislature which
imposes these taxes. We are subject
to all national laws like other Ameri-
can, and to other Congress-made laws
which apply to US alone. We are en-
titled on American principles to rep
resentation in the legislature which
thus makes all laws for us and gov

Our boys repsond with enthusiasm
to the nations call to arms like other
good Americans. They and all of us
are entitled to representation in the
legislature which sends them to war
to suffer, to bleed and perhaps to die.

CHANCELLOR MAKING GOOD

The following, telegraphed from

will be read with interest by the
many friends of the former Lincoln
county boy, who IS making such a
pronounced success out of the racing
business: George Chancellor seems
to have Jared the best of any of the
Kentueldans who came here this win
ter, as in addition to winning a num-
Der Of races he has gathered together
an excellent stable of horses to start
North with. He has furnished two
track-record breakers, Emden, which
ran six furlongs in l III AS, and Top
o. the Morning, which went the same
distance in / IL Is. He claimed both
of these horses since he came 10 New
Orleans and he got them both at
much below their true value. II is
doubtful, however. if Emden will be
of any further use to him till he gets
back to kentucky as he has been
very sick. He is mending now, but
Chancellor will make no effort to
hustle him to get him back to the
races"
