ed States Government, and upon
Congress, that measures or proposals
which have for their object the con-

that the state Of war makes such
control more effective for the proper
conduct of the war.
Public Observation-Disclosures.
WHEREAS, The maintenance Of
the, cOuntry's public utilities in the
highest possible state of efficiency is
essential not only to the war pro-
gram of the United States, but also
to the nations business, industrial
and public interests; and
WHEREAS, Such efficiency de-
ponds upon the preservation of the
u Ooit VI tuC companies

WHEREAS, The increase of costs
and the unusually onerous cOndi-

the public utilities to continue the
furnishing of the necessary service
they perform; and
WHEREAS, The protection of the
credit of public uti' les is very large
ly in the hands of regulatory commits

NOW, THEREFORE,, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED, That the Chamber of Com

BOURBON DRAFTEES FOR CAMP
TAYLOR MONDAY.

On next Monday morning, April
20, at 7:45, thirty-eight young men
from Bourbon county, white and col
ored, will assemble at the Tenth
street passenger station of the Lou
isville & Nashville, in this city,
where they will entrain for Camp
Zachary Taylor, near Louisville
They will be in charge of one of
their number, who will be designated
as captain, and will be under his
command until the camp is reached
and they enter the service of the
United States in the National Army.
The men will report at the court
house at four o'clock Sunday after
noon, where they will receive their
final instruction. They will be per-
mitted to return to their homes or
to remain at designated place, &C
Cording to their desires. On Monday
morning they will form in line in
front of the court house at 7:15 and
march to the Tenth street passenger
station of the Louisville and Nash
vile. They will receive gifts of
toilet articles, tobacco, cigarettes,
ETC., from the fund raised by the
people for that purpose.
Most of them will go gladly, but
it will be an occasion of sadness to
those registrants, their friends and
relatives. In other places than Paris,
similar occurrences have been made
the occasion for patriotic demonstra-
ton. The soldier boys not only have
been supplied with variety of use
full little presents, cigars, tobacco
and pioarottpc h,,t ovorv effort ho =
been made to send them away feel
ing that they are at least some
bodies in war times, if they have
never been before. They have been
made to feel that their home people
are proud of them and glad to know
that they are determined to do their
duty and serve their country faith
fully and well.
Would it not be a good time for
Paris to throw off it's mask of cold
ness and at least simulate regard
for these boys? Wouldn't it be
good idea for everyone who can
spare the time to go down to the L.
& N. station Monday morning, take
the boys by the hand, wish them
Godspeed, and when the train pulls
out give them rousing cheer? 1t
will cheer the dropping spirit of
many a lad as he sees the old ia
miliar scenes vanish from view, to
remain so for who knows how long.
1t has been a matter of common re-
mark that Paris is one of the cold
est" towns in Kentucky. Let's refute
it Monday morning. Let's shows these
boys what we are. Let's try it on.
