OLLIE JAMES.

OLLIE JAMES.
Kentucky was Virginia when
the mother State of the nation
gave to her Washington, Jeffer-
son, and Madison. No State has
given to the nation more illus
trious men than Kentucky. 1t
is also remarkable that so many
of Kentucky's most noted states
men have come from the plain
ranks of her sterling proletariate,
and risen like William Ewart
Gladstone, the premier states
man of the Anglo-Saxon race,
from the pillow share to the mar
BILE chair.
Ollie M. James, of the quiet
and sequestered little village of
Marion, was yesterday easily
the most ilIustrious Kentuckian
living. TodayEhis place is with
Kentucky 'simost illustrious and
honored dead. There is a some
thing of simplicity, Characters
tic of real greatness, that we
cannot describe nor define, but
we know it when we see it in
human character. and feel it
palpably when we come in con-
tact with the reallyfgreat. Pages
of encomiums insnewspapers and
books may be written of the
great Kentuckian whose mem
DRY we honor in mourning sad
ness to-day, but these can never
make the impression as did a
personal and intimate associa-
ton with the great and genial
man in his lifetime. James as a
man and a statesman embodied
all of those human elements Of
simplicity that stamp the truly
great. The humblest laborer be-
grimed with the honor of his
wonted toll was glad and free to
shake the hand of Ollie James.
He knew inlhim he had a friend
who by living experience could
not know how to pity, but whose
second nature was brotherly
love and sympathy.
James was never a politician,
for politicians never attain thru
personal traits of greatness and
native genius the eminence in
the hearts of a state and nation
attained by him. He was just a
big man in every sense of the
word, bigger than all the polite.
ians in Kentucky combined.
James was never identified with
machine politics, and machine
politicians never dared to oppose
him, for they knew that to op-
pose James was to oppose the
people who had in him a we'll
placed confidence. His person
atty was SO preponderous and
his magnetic genius SO dominant
among the masses, that it was

ment in connection with the ap-

the names of Robert W. Bingham,
Henry Watterson. Prof. II. H.

have no idea what the Governor
will do in this matter, but we
are reliably assured that the
Governor in anylevent will seek
the nomination at the hands of
the State Executive Committee
for the long term.
Without commenting on the
merits of any possible candidate
for the nomination, it is our be-

that this nomination should be
made by a larger and more dem.

pie than by any committee in
whose selection the people have
had no voice and know nothing
about. Under the law we know
that the committee has the pow
er to make the nomination, but
it would be very unwise in so
important a matter and one so
vital at this time to the success
of the Democratic party at the
polls for twelve men or even
twenty-five men to represent
the views and wishes of some
three hundred thousand demo-
cratic voters in the matter of
choosing the successor Of Ollie
James. We favor, and fortu-
nately the time is sufficient and
abundant, a referendum in this
matter thru county conventions
that the people may have a voice
in making so important a NOM

The news is permitted to reach the
W, rid from Berlin that Germany is
planning the organization of league
of nations. Any constitution of a
league of nations framed by the Huns
would, of course, provide that Ger
many's should be the gliding and di-
recting hand. She has already formed
one league of nations, known as the
Triple Alliance. which failed to hold
together because Italy would not obey
the orders of Berlin. On the other
hand England formed a league of ma
tons which not only has stood the
test but has grown and expanded I'M
til it includes large part of the CIV
ilized world. After the war has ended
it is improbable that any nation would
be willing to join Germany's proposed
league.

HEART AND BEAUTY

By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Deap Mrs. Thompson: In the office
who seems to like me very much. He
has taken me several places and three
or four, times We haA gohe to dinner
together from work and then to the
show.
A few days ago he made arrange
ments to take me TO dinner and to the
show. The night before we were to
go worked very hard getting a dress
ready to wear and the following day
I rushed every minute SO that I would
not have to stay overtime.
He works in another room ana
always meet him out in front when
we go anywhere. I waited fifteen
minutes for him and then he came
out and said he wouldn't be able to go
because he had to work overtime.
was furious, because he hadn't let me
know sooner and I was terribly dis
appointed. He saw how angry I was
and said he was coming to my home
at eight o'clock. / told him he needn't
because I was going home to bed, I
sisted upon coming.
He did come. and true to my word
I had gone to bed. This made him
angry and altho he speaks he has
never asked to take me anywhere
since.
What shall I do?' I miss his COM
pany very much and I am sorry
made him angry. I do think IL was
mostly his fault What do-yo think?

The man was at fault in not telling
you sooner that he would be unable
to go. but perhaps he did not know IL
before that time. There was no rea-
son why you could not accept his apol-
ogy in a more kindly way Speak to
him pleasantly when you meet ana he
may ask to see you again when he is
sure you are over your fit of anger,

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl

man ten years by senior. We have been
going together for almost thirteen
months. ] am positive love him and
ne loves me. We have fallen out twice.
but we cared very much for each 9th.
er and we managed to make up. He
has asked me to marry him when tho
war is over and I have almost con-
scented. Do you think it would be all
right for me to let this man kiss me?
Do you think I should promise to.
marry him as he is expecting to be
called to camp any time? Would
the difference in our ages interfere?
ANXIOUS ONE
You are too young to let him kiss
you Insist upon a friendship only and
IL your love lasts 1t will be all the
deeper for waiting.
You are too young to become en-.
gagged. 1t Is all right for a girl to
marry man ten years older than her
self, but It Is not wise for a girl of II

The south is certainly evening up
old scores with the north in the mat
ter of sectionalism in legislation, of
which she complained thru all the
years that the Republicans were in
control at Washington. Illustrative of
this, imports of rice have been en-
oargoed.s thus permitting the south to
have a monopoly of the rice trade in
the American market. The attempt
to fix a price for cotton ended in a
decided victory for the cotton grow
ers. Following government price-fix-
ing of wool, and a communicating of
stocks, the war industries board re-
fused to fix the price on mohair, a
southern product formerly listed in
the tariff as wool. class 2. Yet we are
told that political parties are neces-
sary to the country's well being. In
fighting we are a nation with a big N,
but not in business.

According to the report of the de-
partment Of agriculture, the apple
crop this year is sufficient, approx
mately, to supply a barrel of the fruit
to every family in the United States.
The size of the. crop, however, never
appears to affect the price paid by the
consumer. The old standard price of
40 to so cents peck probably will be
considerably advanced the coming
winter, with the war offered as an ex-
cuse.

POSTWAR VALUES.
grow.

In the general advance in prices
since we entered the war it may have
been noted by the close observer that
real estate and securities have had lit
tie If any part.
The primary cause Of the great rise
of wages and prices of course is the
war. 1t has taken millions of men
from the industries and set up an
enormous demand for the war sup
plies. 1t has given an abnormal value
to everything that can be made serv-
iceable for war purposes or that sup
plies immediate needs. There is a
strenuous effort to expand the produce
ton of these necessary supplies. All
energies are directed into this channel.
In the endeavor to accomplish this ex-
pansion along certain lines an expan-
influence of this credit is closely con-
fined to these lines. Indeed the ex-
pansion of credit in part results from
efforts to transfer capital from other
lines. Owners mortgage or sell out
fixed investments in other kinds of
property at sacrifice for the purpose
Of converting their capital into war
uses. They sell municipal bonds, rail-
way bonds, stocks, real estate, ETC., in
order to buy government offerings or
to supply capital to the war industries.
Real estate does not feel the expan-
sion of credit because almost none of
the new credit is being used for the
purchase of real estate. Nobody wants
vacant. unproductive real estate at a
time when the cost of improvements is
double that of normal times. Real es-
tate feels the stimulpS only If within
the field of war activities; otherwise it
is depressed by the lack of demand
and the efforts to convert such prop
erty into cash for investment in other
fields.
When the war comes to an end and
offerings of government bonds cease,
undoubtedly the situation will change.
If industrial activity and earnings con-
tinue as at present after the treasury
drops out of the market as a borrower,
says bulletin issued by the National
City Bank of New York, it is safe to
predict that capital will flow into the
general investment market, and
stocks, bonds, securities and real es-
tate will receive their normal share OF
attention, and benefit accordingly.
