The most remarkable Illustration
of "presto change" we have recently
witnessed appeared in the Ownsboro
Messenger last week. Note these
two editorials.
Everybody is knocking the United
States mail service and it ought to te
criticised" This is one department
of the government nobody can de-
fend." Messenger May S1,191S.
Before you kick about your mail
service, remember how the postoffice
forces nearly everywhere have been
shot TO pieces by the selective SER
vice dmands. The men are doing
the best they can"

Mr.. Editor.-Just line from
Camp. We Ohio county boys al
Camp Shelby send our congratulation
to the folks at home for the noble
fight they have made for the Red
Cross.
| 1t fills our hearts with Joy to pick
up the dear old home paper and see
where the folks at home are in the
fight the same as we are.
We are all enjoying camp life and
are only waiting for chance to make
our dear old Kentucky famous as did
our fathers before us.

and as full of his old dry wits as

"AT EASE"
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-06-07

The inefficiency of the postal SER
vice amounts to national scandal
One of the greatest Democratic news
papers of the South recently said If
Burleson would not resign he should
be kicked out, and the Owensboro
Messenger recently said, Every
body is knocking the United States
mail service and it ought to be crit
icised. This is one department OF the
government nobody can defend" The
chief difficulty seems to be shortage
of employees in the railway mail ser
vice and the distributing offices, oc-
casioned by the Burleson notion OF
economy. Another reason for it is
the Democratic spoils system by
which most Of the experienced mail
service employees have been displaced
by faithful Democrats" Some re-
cent experiences or incidents may
be mentioned to illustrate the inef-
ficiency referred to. This Office has
a new subscriber at Bloomington, Ill.
We have received three separate not
ices from the Postmaster at Bloom
ington, Ind, that this paper, which is
clearly addressed to Bloomington, ILL.,,
can not be delivered; and to mend the
matter one of these notices had
first miscarried to Hartford, Ohio.
The editor of this paped recently
received a registered lettr three days
after ii was mailed at Narrows, a
point only fifteen miles away. We
also received a parcel post package
from the same point that was mailed
six days previously. A letter here
recently had not reached Kronos
three days later. But the most ludi-
crous incident that has come to our
knowledge was that of man who
mailed registered letter in Detroit,
addresser to Hartford, left the next
day in an automobile, drove all the
way through, and beat the letter
here. II is not our purpose to criti-
else the local postoffice, which is
perhaps as well kept as the average
office, but only mail deposited or
received here comes under our per-
sonal observation.

CROP CONDITIONS.

County Agent PROVIDERS report on
crop conditions is not as favorable
as we would like. to have it. The
wheat crop is exceptionally fine, with
harvest already begun. Watt Taylor,
of Matanzas, was the first grower to
start the harvest.
Corn prospects very poor; due to
bad stands and late planting. A very
considerable part of the crop has
not yet been planted.
For the first time in many years
there is a real shortage of tobacco
plants. The county agent estimates
the crop will be not less than Is per
cent short on account of plant fail
ure.
Meadows are showing up splendid
ly, and the hay crop will probably
excel that of any recent year.
County Agent Browder met with
the farmers of the Matanzas commun-
ity the first of the week to discuss
the feasibility of constructing lime
plant there. Indications are that
the venture will materialize.

GET RID OF THEM.

Last week Buck Sparks was tried
in circuit court and sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary and $500. 90
fine for operating a poker game in the
city. This is the first time a gam
bier was ever given a peniten:iary
sentence for operating a game of
poker in this county. Numerous
times men have been tried in the
court here for gambling, before a
Democratic judge and prosecuting
attorney and they were always let
off with a light fine and told to &c
and sin no more; only to find them
operating the same old game the
next day as usual. This time a Re-
publican judge and prosecuting at
torney held Office and my! What q
difference, the jury returned YER
dict of one year in the pen and a
fine of 100000.
There is not one iota of an excuse
for a gambler to exist in Owens
boro or anywhere else. They are
parasites or teaches on society and
preying on the unsophisticated and
innocent and giving nothing in re-
turn. The News has always fought the
gamblers and blind tigers in the city
and we ask that the good work &c
on and that the sentencing of Buck
Sparks be only the starting Of gen.
eral clean up.-Owensboro News.

The thrift stamp sale will open
June "a. This is not call to give
but an invitation to invest for fair
and safe return. The government
must have billions to prosecute the
war, and the thrift stamp offers the
people of the humblest means a man
ner of helping save the world from
the beak and talon of the merciless
Hun. Duty and patriotism demand
that every one share in this small
way to build up a monumental sum
for the federal treasury. Wear
common clothes. eat coarser food and
save your mite to invest in thrift
stamps.

Gen. Logan commented on the exces-
sive exemptions claims of the county.
Now the cat is out of the bag. The
clerk has discovered that unskilled
tabulators of the assessors books in
numerous. instances made the allow
ance of $3.50 exemptions regardless
of the class of property listed. The
clerk and his deputies are now busy
making these corrections and the task
will involve a vast amount of work
in the county clerks Office.

GREEN CLOTH GENTS

With the closing of the present term
of criminal court, Judge Slack dis
posed of many important cases. While
there were only two persons given
penitentiary sentences. nearly $500
in fines were assessed. mostly against
persons who have tried to make liv-
ing by the use of the green cloth and
round tables. Chief of Police Haynes
started the good work, the grand jury
backed him up. and Judge Slack and
Commonwealth Attorney Claude
Smith came to the rescue of both in
seeing that the law was enforced

The magistrates have taken upon
themselves the responsibility of keep

AS a Republican newspaper we
would not criticise the administration
because the congressional elections
are coming on and we might be accus-
ed of being Indignantly partisan,
but we take it it is lawful to quote
the criticism of the Memphis COM
mercial Appeal, a dyed-in-the-wool
Democratic newspaper. Referring
to the airplane scandal the Appeal
saws: Think what it would mean If
we had our rightful quota of air
planes on the western front. And
why should not the public be told the
names of the men who caused the
shortage" And referring to Gov
ermental PROFICIENCY with public
money the Appeal says: mo use for
the government to preach economy
to the people and turn around and
pay the exorbitant wages it does for
common labor. Example is better
tan precept."

The food administrator, with refer
ence to the limitation of wheat pro-
ducts, is inadequate and ineffective.
Millers and merchants are indeed re-
quired to report their sales, but no
effective limitation is put on those
who had -four in stock. The common
sense plan to put everybody on an
equal footing would have been to
have required everybody to file a
statement, at a given time, of the
amount of flour on hand. The pat
riotic citizen obeys the food regula-
lions as a matter of duty, and those
who will not respect the order as
matter of justice and right should be
forced to do so.
