IN HE attitude of Japan in the
Great War has not been hid
under bushel. ISrom the very
first our people have not only talked
about doing their duty, but they have
done it to the best of their ability
Perhaps no stronger declaration of
this purpose and resolution has
been made than that contained in
the contribution made by Viscount
Ishii to the book issued on behalf of
the Allies. In this carefully pre-
pared utterance he said:
"As we see our duty, and the duty
of the world, only one thing is left
to do. 1t is to fight out this war
which neither we nor any other peo-
pie or nation, other than the ag-
gressors, have sought. 1t must be
fought to the end without wavering,
without thought of national or indi-
vidual advantage. The victors are
to be victors for civilization and the
world; not for themselves. The con-
test upon which we are unitedly en-
gagged will not only end this war,
upon its result will depend the ex-

What SHALL We EAT DUR
Ing The COMING WINTER?

This Is a question more easily
asked than answered The shelves
Of the storeroom and pantry Of the
average housewife bear less canned
fruit and preserves than in many
years; the blackberry, always looked
upon as the poor mans friend, was a
complete failure this year, the straw
berry and raspberry crops were short
and very high, and there was perhaps
never such scarcity of fruit in the
county, neither apples or peaches
are to be had.
The continued dry weather during
the height Of the vegetable season
made the crop exceedingly short, and
unless we have long autumn with
frost holding off for some time, we
may not have many vegetables put
up. However without early frost,
there is a possibility Of late beans,
corn, and tomatoes and liberal sup
ply Of these commodities to fill the
depleted stock of eatables against
the coming winter.

The State Executive and
Central Committees of the
Democratic Party have nomi-
mated Governor Stanley 10 fill
the vacancy in the nomination
caused by the death OF Senator
James. And the Governors
name will appear upon the bal
lot at the November election
as the standard bearer of his
party.
Some democrats in Kentucky
thought the Committee should
have ordered a primary or a
convention to select the NOM
inee, but after the law of the
State was examined carefully
it was the opinion of the lead
ing attorneys, who advised the
Committees that there was no
provision of law authorizing
the calling of a primary to fill
the vacancy in the nomination
and it was the duty of the Com
mittees to select the nominee.
We believe the action of the
Committees meets the approval
of the democrats of the State.
At the request of the Courier
Journal that democrats give
their views by writing to the
Committees, more than two
thousand letters were received
and all except seven asked the
Committees to make the nOmi-
nation and almost universally
asked that Governor Stanley
be made the nominee. In NAM
ing Governor Stanley at this
time the party becomes once
more united.
Before Governor Stanley was
nominated the Committees
sought the advice of many
prominent democrats of Ken
lucky, including Senator Beck
ham, who thought it was the
duty of the Committees to make
the nomination and after Gov
ernor Stanley was nominated
thoroughly approved the Com
mittees actions and made it
convenient to call upon the new
nominee and pledged his hear
ty support to the party's canGi-
date. Governor Stanley and
Senator Beckham will probably
appear upon the stump togeth-
er over the State and all fac
tional bitterness that has divi-
ded the party in recent years
will now disappear and the
nominee should be elected un-
der these circumstances by the
old time democratic majority.
