HOUSING SITUATION
GROWS DESPERATE

mo place to stay" That is the
condition that many visitors find on
coming to Barbourville to the Fair
and in fact, it is becoming true Of
those who wish to settle among us.
Unless some of our more enterpris-
ing citizens begin to build the hous-
ing situation will become desperate.
Barbourville is growing and must
have more homes for outsiders. II
they are not built, the fact that this
is a fine educational center will be
to some extent nullifed by the in
ability of parents to find homes in
which they and their families may
live while the children are being
educated. The building of houses
would seem to be good business for
both the individual and the city.

II looks more like world conquest

Congressman Robson then said
that under the League of Nations,
other countries could insist on the
admittonce of hordes Of Chinese,
japanese, Czecho-Slovacks and that
America would have only one vote
to raise in protest against six for
the British Empire and one for each
of the other nations.
In fact the League of Nations will
take from us the right to run our
own affairs and the speaker pointed
out how Democratic presidents in
the past were opposed to entangling
alliances, mentioning Jefferson, Mad
ison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren,,
Tyler, Polk, Cleveland and also
Washington, Lincoln and Grant.
Let America be free and stand
alone and then she can freely choose
whether she will help or no. We
don't want any of these countries to
defend us. 1t is they who want us
to defend them"

DAN LAWSON CASE

The summing up OF the Dan Law
son case, charged with participation
in the murder of Tom Williams. Of
Brush Creek, was eloquently argued
by Messrs. J. b. Snyder. Common
wealth Attorney, and Judge b. b.
Golden for the prosecution, and by
Messrs. II. H. Owens and Sawyer A..
Smith for the defense.
The line of argument for the de-
fence was the. lack of reasonable
doubt of conspiracy to kill and also
that there was no evidence that the
accused was there at all. The de-
fence also urged that the defendant
acted in good faith in obeying the In
structions of Sam Lewis to attempt
to arrest Tom Williams, even tho the
act was illegal. since he did not
have warrant with him. 1t was
also made a strong point of the fact
that the medical men who examined
the body, found no shot in the face
or eye as was stated by witnesses
who believed they saw shot wounds.
The pitted condition of the face was
charged to the ravages of insects
during the two days in which the
dead man lay in the woods.
The prosecution stated that the
Grand Jury had found defendant
guilty. 1t also charged to the laxity
Of the law the great number of muir
der cases in Southeastern Kentucky.
The use of threats by defendant to
injure deceased was also strongly
stressed and the fact that since the
Lawson boys had no warrant. they
were tresspassers and no one of
them had the right to kill Williams,
even tho he resisted. that being his
right under the law.
The jury, after being out some
four hours found the defendant not
guilty.
This case has provoked consider
able interest from the unusual cir
surrounding it and the
number OF witnesses called by both
sides.

HON. J. n. SNYDER EXPLAINS
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

On Thursday night of last week,
Hon J. B. Snyder, our brilliant Com
monwealth Attorney, explained the
Statewide Constitutional Amend
ment and the necessity for voting
strongly on same. The meeting was
held in the Court House and a num-
Der of the best citizenship attended.
Rev. A. II. Davis acted as chairman
and Rev. J. j. Kelley delivered the
Invocation.
Mr. Snyder explained that we
are at present enjoying but a tenn
porary prohibition and pointed out
the danger of a resumption of old
conditions when the war is declared
officially over. Distillers may now
bottle their products that are in bond
and should the ban be lifted for even
few months they could then sell
great quantities Of liquor until Jan
uary 1921 when national prohibition
comes into force.
The speaker stated that one OF the
strongest reasons for the passage OF
Statewide prohibition is that it will
then become a part of the COnsti-
tuition of Kentucky and no court
could go behind il. It would also
furnish the same relative guarantees
that will be furnished by the ma
tional prohibition amendment.
Mr.. Snyder urged that a proper
campaign be put on to make the cit
liens realize the supreme importance
of voting for the amendment as the
cities will probably roll up major
ity against il. With this amendment
as part of the Constitution it will
supersede and be above any liquor
laws that may be passed and it will
be the law itself as part of the Con-
stitution.
He stated that the legislature
has provided a separate ballot on
the subject so that the question can
not be overlooked as it might be
had it been put on the regular ballot
Mr.. Davis, on behalf of the audi
ence, thanked Mr. Snyder for his
able exposition of the subject.
