THE IRONwORKER's SPEECH

We have heard a number of the
ablest orators of the country speak
for the Liberty Loans, but the most
sincere, earnest appeal we have yet
heard was the speech of an old iron
work, delivered at the corner of
Fourth and Market streets in Louis
vile, few nights ago. The speaker
was a man past sixty, of rough ex-
terror and clumsy of word, but pos
sessed common sense and moderated
earnestness. II am" he said, mot a
leader of men but a worker in metal,
but ! am part of an imperiled coun-
try. | am too. old to fight, but these
old hands can still work and earn and
buy Liberty Bonds. | have lifted
enough billets of steel to build a
battleship, have unloaded thousands
of cars of coke and coal, and am still
at my post in an hour of my country's
need. With the labor of my hands 1
have bought six Liberty Bonds al
ready and | am going to buy more.
l want no honor for the little | have
done, but | am enraged that while
the sweat and backache of labor
are fed into the treasury to support
the war, women of wealth and lei
sure, with poodle dogs in their laps,
and wasting valuable gasoline ,encum-
Der our streets in the way of those
busy in useful occupations, when they
should be saving every penny, as /
am doing, to buy bonds. pity the
poor who can not buy bonds, but
damn the rich who wallow in luxury
and ease while the poor sacrifice and
save. The man or woman who indulg-
es needless luxury while the govern
ment is distressed for funds with
which to feed and clothe and arm our
boys over there is a criminal enemy
to this country. Why, put painlessly
to death the faithful old dog, whose
tail had wagged joyfully when
came home from the metal works.
With tears saw him go, but l could
not see food given even to the faith
full old dog when it was needed to
feed a dear boy who is fighting my
battles lover there. Men, if we can
not fight over there we can fight over
here, and let us work and stint and
save, and buy Liberty bonds" We
have heard the trained orator in
measured terms persuade his coun-
trymen to do their part. but the
ornate earnestness of this humble
ironworker carried the most sincere
and convincing message we have yet
heard for buying Liberty Bonds.

THE LIBETY LOAN.

The fourth Liberty Loan was, and
is still progressing satisfactorily not
withstanding the fact that we nave
lost the impetus that would have de-
rived from public meetings and dis
cussion. As matter of course pubilc
agitation, getting it before us In such
a manner as to arouse enthusiasm
lends momentum to the drive, but
now that il is impossible, owing to the
epidemic which is spreading over the
entire country, almost, and the order
calling off all public meetings to
have any more speaking, il behooves
every man to urge every other man to
take not just a bond,but all the bonds
convenient or possible to pay for. Our
government needs and must have the
money. SO lets all get busy and keep
busy until we at least reach the top.

FORMER GOVERNOR
McCREARY PASSES AWAY

James Bennett McCreary, at the
age of so years, answered the call
from the great beyond, at his home
in Richmond In the early hours of
October Sth. Governor McCreary was
perhaps the most noted parsonage in
Kentucky at the time of his death.
He had twice served the Common
wealth as its chief Executive, first
in 1875 and again in 1911 he was
elected as Governor,36 years having
elapsed between these two points of
service No other citizen of the whole
country, to our knowledge, ever en-
joyed this distinction. Between the
dates of his service as Governor he
was six times elected as a member of
the National House of Representa-
tives and once to the United States
Senate. Burial of the remains took
place at Richmond yesterday after
noon.

THREE Big LIBERTY
LOAN MEETINGS
McHenry, Buford And Bells
Run Communities Hear
Good Speeches.

Three splendid meetings were held
in the county Sunday in the interest
of the Fourth Liberty Loan. One at
Mt. Carmel Church, near Buford,
which was addressed by Rev. a. ID.
Litchfeld. The large church was
we'll filed with earnest and attentive
listeners. Liberal contributions were
made by a number of those present
at the close of DR.. Litchield's splen-
did effort on behalf of the Govern
ment and the boys battling the Hun
cover there"
The second meeting was held at
Bells Run. in the Northern portion
of the county, when Rev. X. II. Flu
qua and Judge John Il. Wilson were
the chief speakers. This meeting
was largely attended and yielded a
neat sum. but greater good Is eX-
pected to yet accrue. due to the per-
lection of sales organization and
arousing of enthusiasm, generally.
The third meeting was held at Nc
Henry, Dr. Ben l.. Bruner being the
chief speaker on this occasion. This
gathering was perhaps, the largest
held in the county so far, II being
reported that some 800 people were
present. DR.. Bruner being an ora
tor of note. held the splendid audi
ence in rapt attention through an
address of considerable length. Aside
from the splendid address delivered
by DR. Bruner, the large attendance
and success of the McHenry meeting
was in very great measure due to
the untiring efforts of Messrs. Lon
Stewart and S. J. Tichenor. We
are not advised as to the amount
subscribed at the latter meeting, but
our information Is to the effect that
il was satisfactory to those having 1t
in charge.
Owing to unfortunate circum-
stances. none of the three meetings
were as well advertised as they
should have been, and too, the re-
ported spread or the spanish rlu
and an order calling on all pubic
gatherings. prevented very large
number from attending. Other Lib
erty Loan gatherings scheduled for
the county were cancelled, while the
three above had been provided Tor
in such a manner, and the people be-
ing rather difficult to reach, were al
lowed to proceed.

The Managemt of the Star Theatre

putting the price of admission down
to a dime, thinking thereby to have
at least two good houses and the more
to assist in a worthy cause, but the
people. turned out only gross total of
$3.50 worth, all of which was turn
ed over to the ed Cross. In this in
stance the Star seemed to be more
patriotic than the people.

WHAT BRUNER STANDS FOR.

In his Manchester speech opening
his campaign for United States SEN
ator, Dr. Bruner very justly said that
the citizens who had the privilege of
electing a public official were en-
titled to know what a candidate stood
for who invited their support, and in
frank and manly way he proceeded
to state his own position upon all
questions of public interest. Among
his more important declarations we
Gull the following:
The vigorous and firm prosecution
of the war to the earliest possible
end, and his unreserved and unequi-
vocal support of the administration s
war policies and purposes.
Free transportation for our sold
iers and reduced rates to the immedi-
ate members of their families when
visiting them in camps.
Proper and generous care of the
soldiers widows and orphans while
the soldiers are in the camps and
trenches.
Prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors, local
state and national.
The adoption of an amendment to
the federal constitution providing for
woman suffrage.
Building a great merchant marine
adequate to carry American products
