Glory to Durham!

The Durham alderman should
60 up head. They have been le-
vying a tax for a sinking fund to
retire bond issues and have kept
the money sacred for that pur-
pose, it seems. "1here is today
in the sinking fund for the re-
tirement of various bond issues,'
says q Durham new story,
cover $151,ooo more than will be
needed to retire all of the non
serial bonds sold by the city.
Durham has a sinking fund of
about half a million dollars, and
a uet bonded debt of about 5000,
ooo."
Durham, therefore, has &C.
cumulated nearly enough money
to pay off its bonded indebted
ness. 1t is doubtful if another
town or county in the State has
done so we'll. Bond issues are
freely voted and if provision is
made for a sinking fund to pay
off the bonds, it is very often
the case that either the tax is
not levied or if levied is used for
some other purpose. The bonds
fall due and other bonds are is.
sued to take their place, while
the taxpayers go on bearing the
interest Fundamentally like
the individual who renews the
note every time it falls due and
never makes any effort to accu.
mulate something to pay if off.
No bonds should be voted I'M
less the act providing for their
issue contains a provision for a
sinking fund to retire them.
The levying of the tax for the
sinking fund should not be made
mandatory but it should be
made a crime to use it for any
other purpose than to pay off the
bond issue for which it is levied,

THE DEVIL OF ALL DEVILS
THE KAISER

Humanity never saw a peril so sim
lister, so bloody as now confronts it.
The great war is no longer an af-
fair of nations, provinces and cities.
1t is an affair of hemispheres. Ger
man hordes, with the clotted blood
of helpless populations have swept
the Slav barrier aside. The eastern
hemisphere lies open to them. The
conquest of the world as the kaiser's
aim is more clearly revealed. But
those conquerors of the east will fall
short of world dominion. There are
lots of Americans, Canadians, Brit
ish, French, Italians, Belgians and
others fighting the world despoilers.
William Hohenzollern has boosted
that he will succeed in conquering
the world where Alexander and Ma
poleon failed. But the kaiser says
that he will soon end the United
States for opposing his will.
He has Lucifer fighting with him;
he is signing his army orders; is urg-
ing him on in the frenzy of blood
lust and land lust. A million lesser
devils have poured from hell TO help.
The devil of murder, the devil of
massacre, the devil of one thousand
victim firing squad, the devil of
treachery, the devil of rape, the
devil of arson, the devil of lies, the
devil of starvation, all the devils of
all the crimes are running wild amid
the red haze which wraps the globe.
There are no longer any remote
possibilities. The United States of
America at last realizes what this
war means. 1t sees in progress a
gigantic world-raid, which at one
time looked as though its allies
would be beaten down, but which
has now turned in favor of our
forces.
Millions of men are now striving
to save the world from kaisersm,
and as sure as there is a God in Hea-
ven, these men will save the world
If you are not with us, you are
against us, and you can rest assured
that we are against you.

REEVES BECKHAM RUMOR

The coming retirement of Percy
Haly from the Seventh district In
ternal revenue collectorship at Lex
ington, in favor of Elwood Hamilton
of Frankfort, has revived the rumor
that United States Senator j. c. w.
Beckham is the choice of that fac
ton for the Democratic gubernato-
rial nomination for next year, and
that Mr.. Haly is leaving official life
to devote all of his time in working
up the movement for the nominal
ton Of his chief. 1t was reported
some time ago that a move was on
to reach an understanding between
Senator Beckham and Gov. Stanley,
whereby the former would run for
Governor and the latter go after the
senatorship to succeed Beckham, but
Gov, Stanley put a prompt quietus
on the report by stating that the peo-
pie and not the politicians had the
say nowadays in filling public offices.
