PRESIDENT
APPEALS FOR
DEMOCRATS
TBr UNITED PREss.I

BY UNITED PRESS.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-President
Wilson today appealed to the country
for a vote OF confidence in his lead
ership both at home and abroad" by
returning the democratic congress.
IN a statement addressed to my fell
low countrymen" he said the repub-
llcan leaders have unquestionabIy
been pro-war but administration
and said election of a republican ma
jority TO either house Of congress
would certainly be interpreted on the
other side Of the water as a "repudia-
tion Of my leadership"
AT almost every turn since we enter
ed the war they have sought 70 take the
choice of policy and the conduct of the
war out of my hands and put it under
the control of instrumentalities of their
own choosing" the president declared
speaking of the republican leaders
This is no time either for divided
council or for divided leadership. Unity
Of command is as necessary now in civil
action it is upon the field Of battle
1T is well understood across the wa
ter as we'll as here that the republican
leaders desire not so much 10 sopport
the president as to control him. The
people Of the allied countries with whom
we are associated will find it very diff
cult to believe that the voters of the
United States had chosen to support
their president by electing to the con-
gress a najoriy controlled by those
who are not in fact in sympathy with
the attitude and action of the admins
tration."
The president asks this support mot
for my own sake or for the sake OF a
political party" but for the sake of the
nation itself in order that it's inward
unity Of purpose may be evident to all
the world

THE REPUBLICAN $3.50.

On and after August 10th. the
subscription price of the Republican
will be $3.50, per year, payable in
advance. For papers going into the
fourth zone and beyond, $1.75. Those
who desire to do so, may. by paying
before August 10th. get the paper
for not exceeding one year from said
date of the old rate.
Nearly all papers in the whole
country of our class have advanced
their rates, the great majority of
those that have not advanced, have
gone ont of business, either voluntari-
ly or through Sheriff's sales. We do
not feel that 1t is necessary to say"
to our patrons tina the unequal bat
tie with high and soaring prices Is
the cause of our course, land to high
prices we must now add increased
postage" for every sane person we'll
knows that the average price of every
thing we buy these days is more than
100 per cent higher than three years
ago; many things have advanced
more than 200 per cent, yet we only
ask that our subscribers pay SO per
cent more than the old rate. We ap-
preciate all patronage heretofore
given us and will most assuredly ap-
preciate continuance of your ia
vors. We are trying to give our sub
scribers a good clean, live paper and
believe that you will agree with us.
that it is worth what we ask for it.
Those who are in arrears must pay
up If they wish to receive the paper.
we can't afford to and will not in
the future, continue to send the Re-
publican to a subscriber who fails to,
make arrangements with us for II.
We especially urge those who owe the

not, we are going to take such steps
as may be necessary to collect our
accounts, we must do this. so don't
blame us.

ASSESSOR HINES BALKS.

When assessor Hines failed to COM
plete his work in the required time a
representative of the State Tax Com
mission came here and ordered the
county Judge and county attorney to
give the matter attention. Out of
courtesy to the assessor those officials
undertook to help him, and did
secure deputies upon the assur-
ance to see thew were paid. BY an
agreement between the assessor and
the county officials the money tor the
assessment was to be paid by the au-
ditor to the Bank of Hartford and by
the bank to be paid the deputy asses
sors. However, IL was a part Of the
arrangement that the Bank should
pay the money ON the order of AS
SCISSOR Hines, and now, IL is claimed,
Hines refuses to give the required
order to the bank to pay the deputies.
Suit will probobly be filed at an early
date to compel Hines to authorize
the payment. The mess that Hines
has made of the assessors Office
should teach the people lasting les
son in the matter of electing a man
to Office because of his physical in
trinity.

THE w. =. s. CAMPAIGN.

A fair measure of success attended
the War Savings Stamp campaign
last week About 100000 of the
stamps were sold, and many pledges
for future purchases signed. The al
lottment for the couny is $548,040
but the campaign for the total dis
tribution of them does not close until
the end of the calendar year. Hart
ford took $40, 900 .Narrows school dis
trict bought $3.50. Returns from the
various sections of the county have
not yet been tabulated, and we are
able to give few of the sale. 1t is ex-
pected by those in charge of the sales
campaign that the county will buy up
to its allotment before the end of the
year. Eight Hartford citizens bought
the limit allowable to one purchaser,
$1,000.

HLITERACY AGENT HERE.

Mrs. w. L. Mills, of Greensboro
came to Hartford Wednesday tC
take charge of the campaign
for graduating illiteracy from
this county. At a recent meeting OF
the State Commission at Frnkfort q
campaign was organized to send an
agent into every county in the state
to conduct a ten weeks offensive
against illiteracy.
Mrs. Mills plans will be to get in
touch with the county commission
which is composed of the following
teachers, Supt. E. S. Howard, Hart
ford, Fred Whittinghili, Narrows, e
F. Lyles. Baizetown, Anna Carter,
Centertown, and Gertrude Taylor,
Hartford, and with their co-opera-
tion and assistance make an effort to
open a six weeks night school in each
district in the county that has Hitter
ates. The teachers will be asked to
take charge of the actual teaching, but
where teachers are not available cit
liens will be asked to volunteer for
the work. Experience has demon
strated that the average man or wo-
man may be taught to read and write
in six weeks of proper training. There
are 33S Ohio county citizens above
school age who can not read nd write,
and if the public and the illiterates
themselves will take the proper inter-
est in this movement Illiteracy can be
entirely stamped out during this cam
paign. 1t is the duty of every citi-
zen to lend every possible encourage
ment to this very worthy work. Mrs.
Mills is a trained educator, has the
work close to her heart, and we
MUST help her.

LAW WORKS HARDSHIP.

The new tax law will work hard
ship on the people in the manner OF
making their assessments. The law
now governing the matter provides
the county tax commissioner shall
open an Office at the county seat, and
keep it open from July 1 to Oct 81,
and makes it the duty of the taxpay-
er to come to the commissioners
office within the time and file with
the commissioner list of his taxable
property. This was adopted because
of the very moderate allowance made
for the payment of the assessor,
which does not in fact justify him in
visiting personally every taxpayer to
take his list. but justice to the people
would have demanded raise in the
of the tax commissioner
rather than imposing an added bur-
den on the public.

MURDER NARROWLY AvERTED.

If Postmaster Ernest Birkhead did
not commit a murder Saturday night
1t was due to the fortunate fact of
thirty miles distance between him
and the aggrieving party; not to any
want of murderous intention on
Birk's part.
A few minutes before midnight a
long distance call for the postmaster
came over the telephone. A mes
senger was dispatched for Mr.. Birk-
head who crept sleepily out Of bed
and hurried to the exchange, alarmed
lest the message was a notice of the
death or dying condition of some Of
his relatives in the Doviess capital
II is easy to imagine the postmasters
madness when the party at
the other end of the line said, This
Is. Please forward my mail to
Owensbcro". We decline to repeat
what Birk Numbered back, because
there is law against using certain
language over telephone.

A NEW INDUSTRY.

A new industry that, let us hope,
will later spread out over the county
and add much to the productivity Of
the soil, is being established by the
enterprising farmers of the Equality
community. Mr.. William Addington
and number of other farmers of
that neighborhood ordered the ma
chinery, Wednesday, for a lime pro-
duction plant. Lime is much need
ed solvent for certain minerals in
our soil, the stone is abundant in the
county and the machinery for its re-
duction is not expensive, and mOny
spent in this way would repay our
farmers fifty fold. A community of
farmers may join into company and
establish lime plant at small in
dividual expense, and the county
agent strongly advises such action.
