Vice President Marshall De-

NOT ANARCHIST CAFE.
System Of Government Here Affords
Machinery for Rishtino Of Griev.
ances Without Resortine to
Violence and Disorder.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Speaking be.
fore the National Press club, Vice
President Marshall denounced bolshe-
vism and anarchy and propounded
what he termed new creed for Ameri.
cans.
He said that those American citi.
zens, native and naturalized, who were
unwilling to seek redress for their
grievance in orderly and constitutional
ways Should be taught, peacefully,
II we can, and forcibly II we must,
that our country is not an interna-
ttonal boarding house nor an anarchist
cafe"
New "creed" Stated.
The "creed" presented by the vice
president said:
Il believe that the American repub.
lie as instituted by the fathers consti.
tutes the finest system Of government
ever ordained by men and affords the
machinery for the righting of griev.
ances without resorting to violence,
tumult and disorder.
Il believe that every inequality
which exists In the social and econom-
ic condition of the American people is
traceable to the successful demands of
interested classes for class legislation
and believe, therefore, that practical
equality can be obtained under our
form Of government by remedial legis.
lation in the interest of the American
people and not in the interest Of any
body thereof, large or small.
Il believe there is no justification
in a government, where officials are
elected and laws made by the people,
for a minority to threaten bloodshed
and anarchy unless the majority shall
submit to the will OF the minority.
America for Americans.
II believe that America belongs to
American citizens, native and natural.
lied, who are willing to seek redress
for their grievances in orderly and
constitutional ways and believe that
all others should be taught, peaceably
II We can and forcibly II we must, that
our country is not an international
boarding house nor an anarchist cafe.
II pledge myself to the support Of
these principles by my voice, my vote,
and If need be, by my fortune and my
life and promise my country to train
my children in this most holy faith .

MAYSLICK GETS MASON
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Arrangements To BE Made TO Carry
Maysvllle People Out On
Convention Day.

County Sunday School President G.
s. Dale announces the county conven-
ton to be held in the Christian church
Mayslick, Tuesday, June 18th. The
tentative program as outlined by Prof.
Dale is one of the best ever presented
to a Sunday School Convention in Ma
son county. In addition to the best
talent from our own county, State
Worker Vaughn will be present and
give one or two addresses on live
themes related to the progress of the
Sunday School. Mr.. Vaughn is one
of the most popular of the state force
He is always welcome in Mason coun-
ty, and he never fails to give live
up-to-date message. Every Sunday
School in the county should elect one
or more delegates and see that they at
tend this convention
It has been suggested that all take
lunch with them and at the noon
hour all spread their lunches on one Of
the beautiful lawns together, thus
making it pleasant social affair, as
well as profitable in other ways.
Prof. Dale says that arrangements
will be made to take all from Mays
vile who will attend. 1t would be a
good plan for each school to notify the
president how many will go from their
school.
Let's make it real Victory Con-
vention.

marking a study Of the issue, 1t was

Since the work of taking the asses
ment or the current year begins July
1. it is believed by county authorities
that there is not sufficient time re-
naming for special assessment.
Therefore, If the increase is to be eff
fected, it will have to be done thorugh
a blanket raise. Members Of the local
board and county officials believe
grave injustice would be done by such
q move.

B|LLINTRODUCEDIN IN
CONGRESS TO IMPROVE
MAYSV|LLE hARb0R
Congressman Fields Introduces Bill
In Lower House Of Congress Mon.
day For the Improvement Of
Local Ohio River HarbOr
Senators VIII Help.

Congressman William ]. Fields, OF
Olive Hill, introduced his first bill In
the present Congress. Monday after
noon and the measure provides for the
improvement of two river harbors
within his district-the Ninth Congress
sional district.
The bill appropriates sum of
money for the construction of ice piers
at Louisa in the Big Sandy river and
for the repair, improvement and con-
struction of ice piers in the harbor at
Maysville, on the Ohio river" This Is
practically the same measure which
Congressman Fields introduced at the
last session of Congress but which
went by default because of the many
calls for finances because OF the World
War. Mr.. Fields in correspondence
with Maysville people recently in re-
gard to this measure was quite certain
that he would be able to get favorable
committee action on the measure at
an early date and get the appropria-
tion in very short time.
1t will be remembered that this mat
ter was taken up with the Congress-
man from this district shortly after the
big ice break up of more than year
ago. At that time the Maysville har-
Dor proved its worth many times over
in saving thousands of dollars worth
of craft for the government and this
argument will be used in support of
the measure.
The original bill provides for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the Mays
Vile harbor and government engineers
have recommended the use of this sum
in raising the three piers now in the
local harbor about ten feet higher than
at present and for the construction of
two more piers some distance up
river from the present three and 1t wa;
proposed that one of the new piers
should be nearer the shore than the
inside pier at present.
When 1t was suggested that the gov
ernment should improve the local har-
Dor, the Maysville Chamber of Com
merce and those interested asked for
mer Congressman James N. Kehoe
who was responsible for the first piers
being built here, to act as committee
Of one in an endeavor to get the gov
ernment's appropriation for the pro-
posed improvement and he has been
very busy ever since in the endeavor
Those who are in a position to know
believe that there will be little trouble
in passing the measure this time and
that we can feel certain that the Mays.
vile harbor will soon be one of the
best on the Ohio river between Pitts
burg and Cairo.
Senator Backham has on various oc
casions in communications with thu
local Chamber of Commerce assured
them that he was heartily in favor o
all Ohio river improvement and espe
cially that section which touched hi
own state and he can be counted on t
support the measure in the Senate
while it is known that Senator Stan
ley will lend his very hearty supper
to the measure at all times.
