From our point of view no more

binations to force individuals to a
given action, whether II is undertaken
by captains of industry or neighbor-
hood regulators, is a wrong and harm

be met by statute should be check

people. We understand the doctors
are often imposed. upon. But so are
the merchants, the lawyers and the

THE FLU CONDITIONS

The influenza situation in the coun-
ty has improved, but it is still serious.
The present storm centers of the dis
ease are eBaver Dam, Taylor Mines
and Williams. Conditions at Rock
port Echols and Simmons, where so
many fatalities occurred, are greatly
improved North of the river, as far
up as Magyar, the disease seems never
to have gained a very decided foot
hold There have been between
three and four thousand cases in the
county, and about one hundred
deaths from the disease. There are
now something more than thousand
cases. The danger appears to be by
no means past and the people should
use the greatelt possible caution.
Hartford is the only town in the cOun-
ty that has so far escaped. A few
mild eases have appeared here, but
none of a serious type. However,
| It is possible for the malady
to scourge the town yet.

THE VOTE ON THE ROAD TAN.

1t is very evident from the vote
that was polled in favor of the twenty
cent road tax on last Tuesday that a
large number of people of Ohio coun-
ty have awakened to the necessity
of good roads and have awakened also
to the fact that the only possible way
TO get them is to go right after them
and pay for them like other counties
do that have good roads. The whole
magisterial district in which Fords-
VILE is located returned large ma
jority in favor of the tax. The entire
mining district voted strongly in ia
vor of the tax. The miners feel
greatly imposed upon on the road
question for the reason that they
nearly all live in towns and have no
especial use for country roads, yet,
because their towns are not incorpo-
rated like the other towns of the
county. they are parceled out as
road hands and required to help
work the roads. or else they pay
from two to five dollars a piece for
somebody to work the road and re-
lieve them of that duty.
The vote shows that practically
all the towns voted pretty heavily
in favor of the tax. This shows a
fine spirit on the part of the town
people in cooperating with the coun-
try people in the building of better
roads and shows a Willingness on the
part of the town people to shoulder
their part of the responsibility though
this Is no more than right for the
reason that the banks, stores and
other business of town necessarily
and certainly receive the benefit Of
any improvement i'm the country.
There was large majority in favor
of the tax in several precincts and on

LIBERTY BELLS PEAL
Things OF PEACE

Early Monday night the court
house and church bells in Hartford
chimed in joyful unison the glad It'd
ings of peace. The entire popula-
ton turned out to share in the pleas
ing festivities. After four years of
long, dark night of war the peace
dawn had come and the dread of
death was broken. Old and young
shared alike in the splendid celebra-
ton. But the happiest were the
mothers whose sons were over

into the night the bells continued
their chorus, and men and women re-
NAMED on the streets to hear the
last dying peals. Peace, glorious
peace, was again restored to earth,

THE ROAD TAN ELECTION.

The defeat of the road tax at the
recent election does not finally dis
courage the friends of good roads.
1882 voters, or only 529 short of ma
jority, registered in favor of it. This
result shows remarkable change i'm
public sentiment in favor of good
roads since the road tax election II
two years ago. If an organization
had been formed and the public
thoroughly informed as to the condi-
tons and effects of the tax it would
doubtless have carried at the recent
election. Good roads agitation
should be consistently carried on,
the people properly educated and the
right result assured when another
vote is taken on the question.

SHERIFF. AND JUROR
MUST PAY PENALTIES

Commonwealths Attorney G.. E.
Smith went to Calhoun Monday to
protest a motion for a new trial in
circuit court, of w. A. Shackleford
and J: E. Coghill, who had been fined
at former term of court, on a
charge of obstructing justice. The
charges grew out of trial of Mann
Gibson for murder. Coghill was a
juror at the trial of Gibson and it was
charged that Shackleford, who was
then sheriff, separated Cowghill from
the jury and influenced him in the
matter of his action of juror. Both
Shackleford and Coghill we're in
dicted, tried and convicted. Shackle-
ford was fined 1929 and forty-eight
days in Jail; Coghill was given a
fine Of $500 and twenty-three days
in Jail. After hearing arguments of
counsel for the defendants and COM
monwealth the court overruled the
application for a new trial.

new CLOUD RISING ON
-. EUROPE'S HORIZON
ConHagration May Break In
Dozen Nations At
Once.

London, Nov. 12.-The most Sc
rious question of the hour, in the
opinion of some newspapers here, is
how far Europe is infected with Boil
shevism.
Some German newspapers and
some in neutral countries continue to
warn the Allies not to push Germany
too far to the wall lest she be driven
into anarchy. Some English news
papers consider this as German pro-
paganda to gain leniency.
The general British view appears
to be summarized in the question
whether the most of rehabilitation
of Europe should be borne by the vic
tins of devastation or by its authors,
and in the declaration that the Ger
man armies should 'be deprived OF
all arms in the interests of Germany
herself. thus making internal fight
ing less possible when the armies are
repatriated.
Newspapers in Sweden, Spain, HOl-
land and even Norway express ap-
prehension over the spread of the
red flag movement. The troubles in
Switzerland also cause uneasiness.

JACK MADE HIS TRAIN.

Since commercial travellers were,
racing for trains has been a part and
parcel of their daily experience, and
so skilled they become in the long
practiced art they usually find a way.
And Jack found a way. Jack is
young, gracious and engaging, and a
favorite with the girls. Besides the
alluring attention of trio of Hart
ford's pretty girls, it was peace cele-
bration night, and Jack was trimming
over with patriotism. With three Of
the sweetest girls in all the great
wide world, vying with each other to
appear the most engaging, with bells
ringing, bonfires flaming, horns tOot-
ing and guns booming, it suddenly
occurred to Jack that it wanted only
twenty minutes of train time and
Beaver Dam five miles away. To
complicate completely the taxi men
were all filling prior engagements.
Jack was bewildered. He had linger-
ed too long. Could the house mana
ger have seen the ravishing beauty
and heard the rich mellow voices Of
Jacks bewitching entertainers he
could have forgiven him for lingering
on the spot forever, but Jack knew
the manager didn't know, and besides
managers, usually hard-hearted and
grouchy husbands, will make small
allowance for pretty girls on the
road. Jack was terror stricken. The
term of his engagement with his one
real Wonder Girl was approaching
and it was a calamity to think that
his term with the house might be also
approaching. But necessity finds a
way. A single machine was parked
at the curb. Whose nobody cared.
The owner could wait and still
hold his job. Besides 1t would not
be in the heart of mere man to scold
three girls. especially three pretty
girls, for playing a sort of Red Cross
charity to young man in trouble.

The happy incident of peace was
the occasion of one death in Ohio
county Monday night. While. the

at McHenry some persons loaded an
iron pipe with powder as an impro-
vised celebration gun. Taking refuge
behind protecting objects, the fuse
was attached for firing the pipe. But

son of Mr. C. Craddoc got the best of
him and. peeping from behind tele-

NEW RULES MADE
FOR SOLDIER INSURANCE

Washington, Nov. 13.-Prepara-
lions by the government for reinsur-
ing the lives of soldiers and sailors
on their return have been fastened
by the signing of the armistice. AL
though regulations have not yet been
fully drafted, IL is certain that each of
the 4,25O,OOO men in the military or
naval service now holding voluntary
Government insurance will be per-
mitted within five years after peace
is declared to convert il without fur
Their medical examination into ordin-
airy life. twentypay life endowment,
maturing at the age of So, or other
prescribed forms of insurance.
This insurance will be arranged by
the Government, not by private COM
panies. and the cost is expected to be
at least one fourth less than similar
forms offered by private agencies.
The low cost will result from the fact
that the Government will pay all
overhead administration expenses,
which for private companies amount
to about II per cent of premium re-
ceipts; will save the usual solicitation
fee. and in addition bear the risk re-
sulting from the wounding or weak
ening of men, while i'm the service.
Private companies would not write
insurance on many wounded men or
their rates would be unusually high.
Pay Premiums Monthly.
The Government will arrange to
collect premiums monthly If men wish
to pay this way or for longer periods
in advance. This may be done thru
the post office. The minimum
amount of insurance TO be issued
probably will be 81 600 and the maxi
mum $4,000, with any amount be-
tween those sums in multiples of
$500. There will be provision for
payments in case of disability as we'll
as death, according to the tentative
plan.
The insurance may be purchased
by any soldier, sailor or marine-of-
iicer or enlisted man and by women
members of the army or navy nurse
corps providing they already hold
Government voluntary life insurance.
About 95 per cent of the $500, 600
men in the service are covered by this
insurance, which expires after they
go back to civilian life and cease pay
ing premiums. This is the system
devised TO replace the old pension
plan OF providing for ex-soldiers and
sailors.

ed without any obligation to restore
to Germany her ships now in the
hands of the associated governments.
Germany is to notify the neutrals
they are free to trade with the asso-
ciated governments without molesta-
tion.
In a word, the iron ring is tighten
ed and at her borders the civilized
world waits while Germany reforms
herself from within.
Truce Lasts Thirty Days.
The duration of the armistice is
thirty days and various periods are
specified within those thirty days for
compliance with certain specific
terms. One provision of the armis-
tice, which was supplementary to
the text as first drawn by the supreme
war council and, therefore does not
appear in the text as President Will
son delivered 1t, was inserted after
the German revolutionaries took pos
session of the German fleet. 1t pro-
vides that II the fleet is not deliver
ed as specified in the agreement, the
associated governments may occupy
the Heligoland fortress as an advanc-
ed base to secure possession of 1t.
Anxious Hours just Ahead.
Having clipped the military autoc-
racy of its fangs. the associated gov
ernments will wait for the next thir-
ty days, while the terms of the ar
mistice are being carried out to see
what sort of government in Ger
many they will have to deal with.
