EDITORIAL COMMENT


The DaiH kentuc'1m Is meeting
with enthusiastic approval from all
sectio,n Although the daily is still
two o. three weeks off. new sub
scribers are coming in every day and
paying in advance. One such was
reccivsd this week from California
and another from Mississippi. The
country people especially are eager
for morning paper that will be de-
lIvered all over the county a few
hours after publication, with live
news from the wires right up'to-date.
The price too will be only 70 when
delivered by mail. The kentuckian
win Of course not be able to compete
with papers containing stale news
that is rehashed without expense.
The telegraph service Of the Kentuck-
Ian will be its strongest feature. II
win Of course not publish full press
reports, but its service will cover the
cream of the news, the same news
that Is served to leading papers OF
New York, Chicago, Memphis and
other cities all over the country. The
Bervice will cost us hundreds OF dol
lars, but we are going to give Hop
'kinsville what we believe the people
wr,t AZ will appreciate. We be-
'lieve there is an opening here for a
morning paper and we are going to
put money into the proposition and
make the paper so good that the pub
lie caEnot do without it. Its organi-
zat;on Is being perfected and when
Everything is ready the paper will
start with enough business booked to
insure It's success.
Th<>machinery purchased for the
daily will be shipped from New York
next week and should arrive in ten
days. 1t will be installed promptly
and the paper will appear early in
February. We hope to get out the
ara number on Sunday. Feb. 3, but
- cannot be definitely announced
1ntil the machinery has arrived. In
~ meantime the tri-weekly will run
1n rs heretofore. All subscribers will
rIceive sample copies of both the
daily ahdweekly, after which any
credits on their accounts will be ap-

Demanding Removal Of Con-
ference to Sweden---Rus-
sia Not Conquered.
THE SWORD IS READY
Teutons Ask Swedish Lega-
ton to Act as Go-Be-
tween With Allies.

The American army which is to be
sent into the battle to make the world
safe for democracy is rapidly being
formed. In the nine months since
the United States declared that state
Of war existed with Germany, the
army has risen from 2l2,O34 officers
and men to 1889, sos officers and
men.
This statement has been made by
Secretary Of War Baker who de-
clared that no other army in the his
tory of the world had ever been
raised, equipped or trained so quickly.
The secretary added that Sub
stantial" force of Americans already
was in France and fit for active SER
vice and that full equipment is on
hand for every man who will be sent
to Europe during 1918.
On the fighting fronts the infantry
is inactive, except for small faiding
Operations, but the artillery duels con-
tinue on various sectors. In northern
Italy snow has fallen to depth of
/ from 3 to 5 feet, bringing the opera
tons to halt.
Trotzky, the bolsheviki foreign
minister, is said to have threatened
the delegates of the central powers
THAT u they do not accede to his re-
quest for transfer of the pourparlers
to Sweden, the voice of their own
people and the strong arm Of the Rus
sian democracy will be felt by them.
The German delegates in Petrograd
have requested Sweden to act as GO
between with the allies.
A dispatch emanating from Switzer-
land asserts that Bulgaria and Russia
have signed separate peace compact,
but that the Russians have rejected
separate peace terms on the proposals
offered by Turkey.
Meanwhile, fighting continues in
central and southwestern Russia be-
tween the bolsheviki forces and the
coSsacks of General Kaledines and
General Dutoff. The latest accounts
of these operations indicate that the
bolsheviki for the time being have the
upper hand, both Kaledins and Du-
tof having been compelled to fec
after defeats in battle.
Germany has announced her inten>
tion to send 600 French prisoners into
Russia and 400 French women into
the Duchy of Brunswick as a reIrisal
for the alleged retention Of inhabitants
OF Alsace-Lorraine by me French.

KENTUCKIAN SURPRISES
Ben Johnson Converted By
Belief That Negro Domi-
nation" will Be Impossible.

/ Washington, Jan. ll.-Women suf-
frage by federal constitutional amend
ment won in the house last night,
with exactly the required number Of
affirmative votes. While members in
their seats and throngs in the gale
ries waited with eager interest, the
house adopted by vote of pa to 1856
a resolution providing for a submis-
sion to the states of the so-called Su-
san b. Anthony amendment for ma
tioaal enfranchisement of women.
But for the promise OF Speaker
Clark to cast his vote from the chair
for the resolution il il was needed,
the change of a single vote to the op-
position would have meant defeat.
Republican Leader Mann, who came
from a Baltimore hospital, where he
has been under treatment ever since
congress convened, and Representa-
tive Sims, OF Tennessee, just out OF
sick bed and hardly able to walk to
his seat, brought the votes which set
tied the issue.
START CAMPAIGN IN SENATE.
The house hardly had adjourned be-
fore the suffrage champions began
their fight for favorable action on the
senate side of the capitol.
KISSING WOMEN CRY "GLORYl"
Announcement of the vote was
greeted with wild applause and cheer
ing women in the galleries literally
fell on each others necks, kissing and
embracing and shouting, GLORY, glo-
ry halleluiah!"
There was one surprise in the Ken
lucky congressional delegation. Rep
resentative Ben johnson. whom all o.
the forecasters had put down as
against the resolution. voted for it.
He explained afterward that he was
prompted to vote for il by an argu-
merit exactly the opposite OF that adj
vanced by southern members, who
said it would lead to negro domiua-
ton.
"The one thing that southern wo-
men fear and abhor." he said, "is ne
gro domination. Consequently when
they get the right of suffrage they
will turn out and exercise that right
and will make negro domination for
ever impossible. OF the Kentucky
members all were present and only
four voted against the suffrage reso-
luton. They were Representatives
Sherley, Rouse. Kincheloe and Helm.
