~ method that is un-American.

There is an American method of dealing with
the Equity printing concern.
Chief Warren has chosen an un- n-American meth
cd of dealing with it-a Bolshevix method.
That fact is so plain that the real Americans of
Seattle not only those real Americans in the labor
movement, but the real Americans in the Chamber
of Commerce and at the city hall and everywhere
else, should be just determined as The Star is

BOLSHEVISM

BECAUSE The Star is, and always
0will be, opposed to Bolshevism, it is
going to fight Bolshevik methods,
whether they are adopted by fanatics,
radicals, or by Chief Warren.
The Star doesn't care a snap of the
fingers for those enemies of Bolshevism
who would use violence and lawless-
ness themselves. 1t doesn't care con-
tinental for those SNUG creatures who
preach of hanging parties" and lynch
law in this country. The Star is against
anarchists of all kinds, whether they are
captains of industry or plain Bolshevists.
Because The Star is opposed to Chief Warrens

there are a few crack-braned patriots" who pro-
fess to believe that The Star is defending that nsti

rate The Star as an "enemy of labor" Honest la
Dor men and women in Seattle and elsewhere
KNOW differently. They know The Star has
fought for every honest labor cause for 70 years
and more. The rantngs of the Boshevik organ
will not deter The Star from its fight anarchy.
It is a fight to the finish.
And it is because The Star is opposed to Bolshe-

SALVATION ARMY WILL
Open 4 BRANCH HERE
Officers of Salvation Army Procure
Permission From Mayor to Preach
On the Streets and to Open
Mission Here.

Several members of the Salvation
Army were in Maysville Wednesday
and Thursday of this week canvassing
the city for their cause. They were
very successful, the people of Mays
vile contributing literally to them.
The officer in charge Of the squad
made careful investigation while in
Maysville and said he felt certain that
Maysville was in need of a Salvation
Army Corps and that it would be a
splendid place for the Army to do a
great work among class of Maysville
people who never go to the churches.
The officer called on Mayor Russell
and after explaining the matter re-
ceived the mayors approval of the
plan to establish a corps here. He
was given permission to preach on the
streets at any time he saw fit and he
left last night for his headquarters at
Covington to present the matter be-
fore higher authorities.
This gentleman said he would re-
turn to Maysville within two weeks
with a number of assistants and at
that time open Salvation Army mis-
sion here and have Captain appoint
ed to have charge of the work in this
district.

SPECIAL STOckER CATTLE
Sale next MONDAY
Large Crowd Of People Expected Here
On County Court-Yards In
Good Shape.

The city officials and members of
the Chamber of Commerce have ex-
tended special invitation, through
the press, window cards and hand bills
to the citizens Of Mason and some ten
adjoining counties to attend the Stock
Sales on the first Monday In May The
May court Is recognized as the big
stocker cattle court Of the year and
there will no doubt be the largest
number Of cattle at the stock yards
next Monday, that has ever been
brought to town.
The merchants Of the city are put
ting forth special endeavors to fur
nish the visitors with number of
very attractive bargains, They have
been very busy the last few days get
ting their stock and windows In shape
so as to take care Of the additional
business that will be brought to town
next Monday.
Manager Chris Brown has been
quite busy for the last few days level
ing space about the yards and cover
ing some bad muddy spots with cind-
ers. The yards will be in better shape
for the May court than at any time
since the re-establishment of the stock
sales. Mr.. Brown is also working on
a plan and expects to have several
rows of hitching posts on the ground
so that the traders will be able to
drive in the yards and hitch their
horses. This feature will no doubt
prove very satisfactory to the stock
men as many times they are compell-
ed to walk quite a distance from
where they hitch their horses. The
county people will be privileged to
make use of these hitching posts any
time they are in town even though 1t
be not stock sales day.
Mr.. R. S. Hudson, the noted Fleming
county auctioneer will be found as
usual at the stock yards next Monday.

STOLE HAM FROM GRAND.
MOTHER; saw CARNIVAL
Fifteen Year Old Boy Steals Large
Ham From Grandm0ther's Meat
House and Turns II Into
Money - Brought Before
Juvenile Judge.

Albert Mallory, fifteen years OF age,
was arrested this afternoon by officer
Wells on complaint to Juvenile Judge
Purnell from his grandmother, Mrs.
Mary Warren, of Williams street, that
the lad had stolen large ham from
her meat house and had sold II to a
local grocer.
An investigation by the police dis
closed that Thursday afternoon young
Mallory, after stealing the ham from
his grandmother, with whom he makes
his home, took 1t to the Gantley groc-
cry store in Third street and there
sold 1t for $3.50. He told Chief of
Police Harry A. Ort this afternoon
that he spent all of the money at the
carnival last night.
Young Mallory has been in trouble
several times before and Judge Pur-
nell has endeavored to give him a
chance by telling him what he should
do. This time the Judge decided that
the best thing for the lad was sound
cowhiding.
The stolen ham was recovered by
the police.

FIRST MEETING ON
PROPOSED WATER
DEAL TONIGHT
Representatives Of the Maysvllle Wat.
er Company and the Ways and
Means Committee Of City COun-
ell VIII Hold Meeting Tonight
to Discuss Water
Proposition.

At the last meeting Of the City Coun-
Gil the Maysville Water Company pre-
scented a proposition in writing asking
that the council appoint a special COM
mittee to meet with representatives Of
their firm to start negotiations for the
sale of the Water Company's system
in Maysville to the city. At that coun-
Gil meeting Mayor Thomas M. Russell
appointed the Ways and Means Com
mittee of council. The committee con-
sists of one member of council from
each ward in the city and represen-
tative of every financial institution in
the city.
Matters have gone along almost a
month without any sort Of action be-
ing taken but this morning Chairman
]. A. Dodson, Of the Ways and Means
committee, issued a call for his COM
mittee to meet tonight with the repre-
sentatives Of the Maysville Water
Company. AS this will be the first
meeting, it is not thought that any
thing definite will be arrived at but
the Water Company's proposition will
be heard and the committee will then
take the matter under advisement.
The recent recommendation of the
Mason County Grand Jury has no
doubt created much public sentiment
against the present system which the
jury says is inefficient and the people
of Maysville have about reached a
place where they will demand some
action to give them purer water. Just
how to get purer water is problem.
The Grand Jury says Filtering Plant
is the only solution to the problem.
Just what the Water Company's
proposition to City Council tonight
will be is not known authoritatively
but 1t Is understood from good sources
that the Water Company is very anx-
ious to turn their plant and system
over to the city and that they will
make them proposition of fifty cents
on the dollar Just what the fifty
cents on the dollar" means is not yet
known by the public. This matter will
probably be made known at tonight's
meeting. 1t is known, however, that
the Water Company wants to turn
over its business to the city. Company
officials say that the company is not
in financial position to make the i'm
provements that seem absolutely ne
cessary at the present time.
This matter of the Water Plant is
by far the biggest thing that has come
before the officials and the people OF
Maysville in recent years. That
something must be done is we'll known
by all but just what to do and when
to do it is problem that council will
have to work out and it is the biggest
and most important question that has
faced a City Council of Maysville in
fifty years or more.

While he lost the match to Lewis,
