the breweries continue to run, while
there is urgent need of the foodstuffs
and other legitimate commodities.
Other people are lamenting over the
fact that large areas of rich lands
are being used for the raising of to-
bacco, instead of using this same
acreage for the raising of corn and
wheat and potatoes. Still others are
loud in their criticisms of the thous-
ands of dogs that are kept and fed
and it is true that but few of these
dogs are of any public value.
Governments are not all-powerful,
and they hesitate to do many things
that look like obvious needs to the
average citizen. Personally, we can't
see why the President shouldn't go
ahead and mind his own business as
well as the business of the country
at large. But if he undertook to
regulate all the things complained of
there would be such an upheaval in
the country that he would have very
little peace. And especially would
such be the case if he undertook to
send agents all through the country
to kill off all the dogs. Now,
wouldn't there be a protest and a
howl, not only from the dogs, but
from their owners? You know it.
Some of the problems in this world
that look really very small are in re-
ality the very biggest ones. Gradu-
ally these things are going to be
for the momentum of pub
lie sentiment, is irresistible in the
long run, though to the thoughtless
observer there appears to be no
going on.
The big moral of this editorial is
have confidence in the perception
of heads of the Government, for their
eyes are open night and day, and
they are always watching. When
the time comes to put the ban on any
condition detrimental to our national
life, it will be done and done thor
oughly, too. There is an old saying:
They that govern most make the
least noise. You see, when they row
in barge, they that do the drugery
work, slash and puff and sweat, but
he that governs them sits quietly in
the stern, and is scarce seen to stir"

Automobile vs.. Team.

Some complaint has come regard
ing the giving of half the road in
case of an automobile coming up be-
hind team. The parties claim that
when they come up behind fellow
with team he stubbornly refuses to
give any of the road, no matter if
there is plenty of room to turn out.
Now the law recognizes the right of
both the man with the team and the
man with auto, and these rights
should be respected. There are plenty
of men who are running autos who
should be driving OK teams and visa
versa, but all men should not be
treated that way. The law says that
when a man is overtaken by faster
vehicle, the man driving the slower

All To The Good.

While all the world is tops-a-turvy,
jerky and panicky, we hear of but
mighty few farmers making assign
ments. Aand while they often feel
they are oppressed of the nation,
yet, after all, how little they know of
the sudden reverses of fortune, from
wealth to pauperism, and struggle
for life in the uncertain speculative
world. They are the reserves"
which the ARMY of the nation can
drop back to and start anew to vic
tory.

True Patriotism.

Once more Bourbon county is go
ing to Ego over the top" This time
r 1T will be the campaign for the sale
OF War Savings Stamps. 1t will be
just another slap in the face of those
treacherous, skulking German propa-
g4ndists who have tried in vain to
make the world believe that we were
a close-hsted, money-loving nation,
too miserly to give our dollars to the
cause
What rude awakening it will be
Tor those plunderers when they hear
'@of the good work we have been doing,
even here in the little county of
Bourbon, and the little city of Paris!
But. then, we will be there, and in
the parlance of the day, 1--WE will be
there with our heads up and feet
7dying over the top" Wilhelm and
his murderous gang will be sure to
hear from old Bourbon and the State
of Kentucky, and we wonder what
the effect will be on that select
assembly of Imperial Murderers, who
wear the cloak of royalty, and have
= plunged humanity into such IN
speakable sorrow.
This should be the spirit Of our
giving to the War Savings Stamp
campaign in this county:
Wen give, give, give. Well sac
rifice our last dollars, mortgage our
homes. wear patched clothes and our
last years hats. Well do all of this,
and more, if necessary, for where is
the comparison to what the boys in
sxhaki and blue are doing in France
to-day for us, our homes and our
country. No, we'll not care if Miss
Elizabeth Steele carries the campaign
lover another week, for we're going
ITO subscribe, each and every one Of
us to the fullest extent of our ability
1t will be for a worldwide mission
OF mercy. We are playing the great
est game the world has ever known
Cur very lives and the lives of our
friends, our relatives, our children,
are at stake. So, just keep on ask
ing us, Uncle Sam! Make your re-
quests as big and as often as needed.
Well be there with the last cent
Our generous responses in the past
TO the Red Cross and the Liberty
Loans have proven to your satisfac-
ton that we'll arise to every call
: Our constant prayers are centered on

We have gone into the game to win

stop until the Hun is driven to cover
and our Bourbon county boys come

won on the battlefields of Europe"
The city of Paris and the county
OF Bourbon are but small patches on

thank Heavens, the way they have
come up in the campaigns of the
past have made them look to many
of us as big as the city of New York,
