The Prohibitionists in national con-

OF quarreling among themselves. The
delegates seem to be afraid they are
about to get what they have been

chagrin the professional prohibition
list as to accomplish the sudden end
of his career by getting what he
pretends to want.

Senator Albert Leach,of Ohio coun-
ty, has introduced a bill in the SEN
ate to require all railroads more
than five miles in length to run two
passenger trains each way every day.
If this bill becomes a law it will give
the people of Ohio county some real
service on the NJ. II. & r. The peo-
pie of the county should give just
credit to Senator Leach for the intro
duction of this bill so important to
their interest.

The Allies most vital need for
winning the war is not men, nor food,
nor guns, but ships. With adequate
shipping facilities all the other diff
dcuities could be rapidly cleared.
Wheat in Argentina is selling for 5S

shipping to transport it to Europe.

not bring the Allies to their knees,

What would Christ do if He were
on earth?" is a question now much
discussed in pulpit and press. The
Madisonville Hustler believes if
Christ were on earth he would be as
mad as Tucker at the Kaiser, and
would take off his coat, roll up his
sleeves and march in the van guard
of the Allies armies. We have an
other notion of the conduct of the
humble Gallilean if he were here in
the flesh. but as the Hustler says,
this is a question upon which every
man is entitled to his opinion.
