A PIsbiscite in AIsace.

Officials at Washington have
heard of another artful trick
which German diplomacy has
planned to turn against a discon-
tented part of its people.
1t has been recognized that
since Alsace and Lorraine were
wrested from France in the war
of 1870, the French element of
the population of these two prov
inces has never allied itself with
the sympathies of the German
government, but on the other
hand, has remained loyal to
France. though citizens of anoth-
er country.
The population of the provinces
Is about equally divided between
tine two peoples, and there has
been practically no intercourse
between them of any kind.
AS the restoration of Alsace
and Lorraine to France is to be
made one of the principal de-
mands of the Allies peace terms,
the crafty head of the Hohen-
zollerns is laying plans to make
it appear to the neutral world
that the people of Alsace and
Lorraine are loyal to the Imper-
ial Government, and want to re-
main under German rule.
Washington hears that the
Kaiser, to accomplish the purpo-
ses, proposes to drive from these
provinces all the people of French
sympathies, and then to submit
to those remaining a plebiscite,
which would, on the face, show
an overwhelming sentiment for
Germany and agaist France.
If the plan had been effected
without the outside world know
ing what methods the Kaiser
used in submitting the plebiscite
the effect would have been seri-
GUS upon the Allies, especially
France. 1t would have instant
ly and naturally created the i'm
preston that France, on the plea
of homogeniety and a kinship of
sympathy, sought to subjugate a
people that was loyal to Germany
and wanted TO be a part of the
German government.
Whatever i'll effects the Kai-
ser's cunningly devised plans
might have had they are made
abortive by the knowledge in
America, and in all the Allied
countries of the rule of force
which he contempIates to carry
out his designs.-E-town News.

to briefly state some of the things
/ did during the recent session.

bills:
1. To prohibit the buying,
selling, owning, having posses

shine still, and to prohibit aiding
abetting o. encouraging the op-
Grafton of such a still.
2. To regulate city printing
in fifth class cities.
3. To fix a quorum in fourth

A. To change time of holding
court in 10Th Judicial District.
5. To provide that staff Off
GERS of the Kentucky National
Guard shall have had previous
military experience and hold
their positions until GA years of
age.
6. To abolish Board of Prison
Commissioners and Kentucky
State Board of Control and to
create one board in lieu of the
two.
7. To regulate State printing.
8. To require ali accounts
against the State Co be itemized
and verified and to be examined
and approved by the Auditor be-
fore payment.
9. To abolish office of Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles, and
the office of Revenue Agents,
and requiring the State Tax
Commission to discharge the du-
ties thereof without additional
pay.
10. To abolish the Office of Geo.
logist and the office of Forestry,
and placing the duties thereof
under one head, and repeating
the $4,000 appropriation hereto
fore expended by the Forestry
Commission.
IL. To abolish the State Insur'
ance Rating Board, and the Of
flee of Secretary. and attorney
of the Board, and place the du
ties thereof under one man. AL
of these passed except one.
AS a result of the bills to abol
ish the foregoing Offices, at leas
100000 will be saved annually
to the tax payers. The printing
bill will save $50, 900; the Claims
Bill another $4,000. The Rule
Committee in the House failet
to allow the bill to prevent un
lawful and fictitious claims, t.

To my mind this was the mos
important bill. After my atten
ton was called to the condition
of affairs. l found that any OF
ficer, employee or appointee o
the payroll, made out his accoun
for expenses, without it bein
itemized, for a lump sum; ths

for some bill, and, in both in
stances charged all expense to
the State. l found that one rep
resentative of the State Board
of Health went to New York
and took a course of instruction

State. This is no more justified
than if a teacher in a common
school should attend special
teachers course and charge and
collect expenses from the State.
found the members of the
State Board of Health attended
the sessions of the Legislature
and committee meetings of the
legislature, and charged all ex-
penses to the State. If the bill
had been permitted by the Rules
Committee in the House to have
been brought out for passage,
these things would not occur
further.

great war and the weight of respon- sibility it has placed on us has en- ergized and vitalized rural life in our county more than the spreading of profitable farming propaganda through a dozen years could have accomplished in peaceful times. They are just waking up. They have just begun to fight.
 The first and second Liberty Loans were not subscribed to very literally by country people in our county. But in the last drive for the Third Loan they joined, white and black, almost to a man not only in putting our county over the top with great inn petus, but in helpin~ with the far mers of all the other counties in putting the whole state over the top and incidently helping the Eighth District to lead the world.
 The farmer did his share. On the list I forwarded to the Federal Re- serve Bank (one of the six lists which were made up in our county) counted the small subscriptions and found POO names which aggregated only $15,500 or an average of about SIT each, showing how the small sub- scriber came through with his part.
 Yes, conditions are changing The country banker has a fair sized job on his hands keeping pace with the of the war conditions. And while he is meeting the measure of his duty to the lest tha's in him, while he is subverting every aim to the one great aim andm arshalling every re- source at the call of the government, he is not unmindful of the cnange that is being wrought every day around him. He knows that out of the tu- mutt and the strife will one day emerge strong, revitalized nation al life. He knows that the clouds will one day burst a new sun of hope to gladden. the. haggard, war-worn face of earth. His ear is even now trained to the call of the day of re- adjustment and reconstruction. He will never for a moment wayer in \ his belief in the triumph of our arms. We will win because we are right. because we have the guns and we'll have the airplanes too when he time comes, don't worry. Because we have got the; resources, the money if you please, and we'll have the ships. And more than all we have the gam est, finest b'lnch of fighting men that God ever smiled upon in the his tory of the world.
 I can say to you, however, that a bankers life is just as full of gen. uine thrills as that of sailor, foot racer or a poet. There are many things that engage the attention of the country banker, besides the reg ular routine of his business. Things that he ought to and does mediate upon in his quiet hours. That bank CT must indeed have prosaic mind who does not get a far flung vision from the lights and shadows that play continually about his path.

He can speak a word of genuine condolence to those who mourn and even shed tear. He can laugh with those who are gay.

serious thoughts which he presented to the bankers, a portion of which the Courier Index is glad of an op- portunity to reproduce below:

You notice that in my reference to farmers and farming conditions, l have used the past tense. My req son for this as has already been inti- mated is that conditions are changing so rapidly it would not be accurate to apply the record of a few years ago to the order of things today. All is changing. The much regretted ab- sence of prosperous middle class of farmers is no longer noticeable. Un- der the instructive work of the coun- ty agents, methods of agriculture are improved and stabilized. Imple- ments that were in use a few years back are now obsolete.
 A trip I made short while ago over a large section of our county disclosed to me the fact that a tre- mendous change has taken place within the last twelve months. The effect of our engagement in the
