All Against Coercion.

with mere ana tneTo All exception the
comment OF the Republican Senators
showed a mild acceptation OF the Presi-
dents procurement against coercion
by union labor and OF the justification
Of the possible need for the reemploy-
ment of such agencies as the Food and
Fuel administrations as measures of
temporary expediency. The following
are the expressions Of Republican lead
ers:
Senator Nelson (Minn.) THE Presi-
dents address contained many glitter
ing generalities, but most of his recon-
mendations were good. I agree with
much that he said and shall assist In
putting some of his recommendations
into law"
Senator Watson Und.): ct am in thor
ough accord with the last part of the
Presidents message dealing with strikes
and threats OF strikes. and particularly
on the railroads. Unless there is an alb
solute necessity that can be met In no
other way 1 should not approve his sug-
gestion for extension OF the food control
act and for putting the business of the
country under a licensing SYSTEM II
this is absolutely essential It should be
made only temporary measure"
Senator Harding (ohio): II was
very much pleased with the speech in
many ways think the connection OF
the League OF Nations with 1t was
wholly unnecessary and very far
fetched
Senator Gronna IN. d.: 80 far as
1 am concerned the President has got
all the powers he will ever get from the
Committee on Agriculture. do not
agree with him that additional legisla-
ton is necessary to reach the profiteers.
They can be prosecuted under the Sher-
man antitrust law as being guilty OF
restraint of trade.

Sentiment for Repeal.

"At n meeting this morning there
seemed to be general agreement that we
should repeal food control legislation
rather than extend 1t. but II the Presi-
dent is going to commander grain al

with the President that many commodi-

Mustn't Check Production.

Mustn't Check Production.
The worst thing. the most fatal
thing that can. be done now is to
stop or interrupt production or to
interfere with the distribution of
goods by the railways and the
shipping OF the country. We are
all involved in the distressing re-
suit of the high cost OF living and
we must unite. not divide. to cor
rect It. There are many things
that ought to be corrected in the
relations between capital and
labor. in respect of wages
and conditions OF labor and other
things even more far reach
ing, and for one am ready to go
into conference about these mat
tiers with any group of my fellow
countrymen who know what they
are talking about and are willing
TO remedy existing conditions by
frank counsel rather than by vio-
lent contest.
No remedy is possible while men
are IN temper, and there can be
no settlement which does not have
as its motive and standard the
general interest. Threats and un-
due insistence upon the interest OF
a single class make settlement
impossible.

gress. that the industry and life

tant prices; and II is quite prac-
ticable for the Government,
through the agencies l have mem
toned. to supply the public with
full information as to the prices
at which retailers buy and as to
the costs of transportation they
pay, in order that 1t may be known
just what margin Of profit they
are demanding. Opinion and con-
certed action on the part OF pur-
chasers can probably do the rest.
That is, those agencies may per-
form this indispensable service
provided the Congress will supply
them with the necessary funds to
prosecute their inquiries and keep
their price lists up to date. Hither-
to the appropriation committees of
the houses have not always, 1 fear,
seen the full value OF these in
quiries, and the departments and
commissions have been very much
straitened for means to render
this service.
That adequate funds be provided
by appropriation for this purpose,
and provided as promptly as pos
sible, Is one OF the means of
greatly ameliorating the present
distressing conditions OF liveh-
hood that / have come to urge, In

S. A. CAMPAIGN
WILL Be CONTINUED
HERE next week
Because COunty's Quota Is Not Yet
Reached Chairman Peed An.
nOunces a Continuation Of the
Campaign Into Next Week.

Mr.. Alfred Peed, chairman of the
Salvation Army campaign in Mason
county Saturday announced that he
had received permission from state
headquarters in Lexington to continue
the campaign in Mason county into
another week that this county may
have another opportunity to reach its
total quota of $4,000.
Although county headquarters in
Maysville had not received complete
reports from all of the precinct work
ers in the county Saturday, Mr.. Peed
said that the campaign was dragging
in some parts and that he expected
that because of wet weather through
out the county the workers in the
country precincts had been unable to
do much real work among the resi-
dents Of their precincts.
Reports from city precinct workers
are to the effect that the campaign
has moved very well here in the city
but 1t has not gained the momentum
that 1t should have and here too the
campaign will be continued until ev-
cry precinct in the city shall have
met or passed its fixed apportionment
There is every reason why the peo-
pie should contribute literally to the
Salvation Army. If you don't know
about the work this organization did
during the war, ask any soldier.

N. \. S. BOYS TO attend
HIGH SCHOOL conference
Eight Maysville High School Boys
Headed by Prof. C. 8. Dale VIII
Attend Meeting at Camp
Daniel Boone.

Arrangements are being made by
Prof C. S. Dale, principal of the Mays
vile High School, to take a company
of some eight or nine M. H. S. boys to
Camp Daniel Boone for camping trip
from August 25 to September 1 at
which time the second annual Ken
lucky High School Conference will be
held.
It will be remembered that eight of
our local boys went to this camp last
year and had a most enjoyable time.
The period will be spent in conference
that will be worth much to the young
men and in sports that they will great
ly enjoy. 1t will be an outing and an
educational course combined The
mornings will be spent in conferences
which will be'led by some the most
prominent men in the state and during
the afternoon and evening recreation
will be enjoyed.
High School boys who desire to take
the trip should get into communica-
tion with Prof. Dale at the earliest
possible time.

NASHVILLE CELEBRATES
Local Celebration Of Signing Of Peace
Treaty Lasts But q Short Time
Bells Announce Peace.

THE first word received in Maysville
Of the signing of the Peace Treaty
came over the Postal Telegraph wires
and Immediately the information was
conveyed to Mayor Thomas M. Russell,
who had previously made arrange
ments for the bell in the fire hall to
be sounded.
Every one was eagerly awaiting the
news that the German delegates had
signed and as soon as the fire bell be-
gan to sound others took up message
and everyone In Maysville knew that
the Peace Treaty had been signed in
Just short time after the German
delegates had affixed their signatures.
There was no automobile parade or
demonstration such as was seen here
when the armistice was signed but ev-
eryone was happy that the world war
had been finally brought to a conclu-
sion.
