Additional Dry LEGISLATION.

During the year following ratifiCa-
ton congress and the several states
will be called upon to pass legislation
to enforce the amendment and to pro-
vide penalties for violations. 1t is
probable a large force of agents un-
der the direction of the commissioner
OF internal revenue will have TO be an
pointed TO enforce the law. Each state
will have to provide machinery for
the enforcement of the law in addi-
ton 10 the machinery provided by the
federal government.
1t is likely this additional legislation
will be pushed through as fast as the
drys can push it. In some parts of
the country at least they purpose to
take full advantage of their victory.
For example, in Illinois forecast
of the Anti-Saloon league is this: In
addition to the search and seizure
act an act rigidly restricting the han.
ding of liquor for medicinal. manu-
featuring, Sacramental and scientific
purposes; legislation covering doctors
prescriptions, which must be issued
by bona tide physician in writing
dated. diagnosing the Illness and the
purpose Of its use; all railroad req
ords of liquor shipments must he
kept; drastic legislation regulating
sale by druggists with heavy penalty
for violation.
The drys presumably will not con.
fine their efforts 10 enforcing the law
They will doubtless take the question
into politics of all kinds and make If
an issue. They announce, for instance
in Chicago that they will ask all cam
didateS for mayor to declare Them
selves on the strict enforcement of
dry legislation. They will make II an
issue in the spring campaign and will
oppose any aldermanic candidate who
does not toe the mark.

The Massachusetts Society for ln,

Thereafter organizations of various

John 3. Cough.

Prohibition or temperance - has
probably some of these foes of liquor
and the saloon will be remembered for
all time. Among the names familiar
to most Americans in this connection
are those of John B. Cough, Neal Dow,
Frances E., Willard and Carrie Nation.
All four made their mark in widely
differing ways and the personality of
each is interesting.
John B. Cough attracted public atten,
ton first. He achieved worldwide
fame and furnishes a remarkable ex-
| ample of what in these days is called
comeback" He was born In Sand
gate. England. in 1917, and died in
Frankford. Pa, in 1886.
A Quaker in Worcester, Mass, in
| duced him to sign a total abstinence
pledge. This was the turning point in
his career. He set out to tramp New
England, lecturing on temperance at
70 cents a lecture. He delivered 1856
lectures the first year-and found him
self locally famous. he mingled the
pathetic and humorous so successfully
and made his lectures so ent, raining
that thousands who had no interest in
temperance went to hear him. For the
next II years he spoke only on temper
ance and addressed more than 5000
audiences, making two long temper
ance campaigns in England. He had
the power over an audience that
comes from experience, purpose and
natural eloquence. Robert J. IngersolI
at his best could sway an audience no
more completely than this reformed
bookbinder. Next Cough turned his
attention to general lecturlng and
made a fortune. His books have been
! translated into many languages.

great work while we were there, but
was our work fulfilled when the ar
mistice was signed? Do we not owe
to the allies and the world our full
participation in the League of Ma
tons?
The leading French paper, LENA
tin, in a recent editorial expresses
the attitude of the French people:
without repeating the details of
the reservations, which we published
few days ago, it would not be
amiss to emphasize that, if they were
voted, the collaboration of America
in the execution of the treaty would
be only illusory.
"The United States would not I'M
dertake any of the duties which the
other powers have assumed. 1t could
withdraw from the League of Ma
tons by simple vote of Congress.
1t would intervene to guarantee the
territorial integrity of the powers,
by the side of which it has fought
only after parliamentary discus
sion, and it would be in each parti-
cular case for Congress to decide.
America would not accept any man.
date for the administration of any
territory.
Congress would reserve to itself
the right to name the delegates to
the League of Nations and then in
turn would even reserve the right to
increase American ornaments with
out consent of the league; in word,
the United States would not partici-
pate in the cooperation of the Allies
for the enforcement of the treaty on
the same footing with other powers,
for its participation would depend at
all times upon political circumstan-
ces and the disposition of Congress.
Unless in the attitude of the two
parties there is a good deal of bluff,
the situation is very serious, and up
to the last moment the attitude of
the United States will justify great
anxiety"

calls them, associates in arms, are
taking a gloomy view Of the fate Of
the Peace Treaty in Washington.
We entered the war with high and
lofty ideals and the world took us

comes for action and the fulfllment
of those ideals, our Republican men,
bers of the Senate seem to take the
'Let George Do 1t" attitude. They
see to want us to crawl back into a

the world and cast aside the leader

cast into our hand by fate.

OUR ROAD SYSTEM.

During the past three years, four
houndred thousand dollars have been
spent on the roads of our country.
This is in addition to the annual
amount spent by the Fiscal Court
this large amount was the proceeds
of the bond issue voted several years
ago.
This money was spent over the
whole county-spread over a large
area, building a nine-foot road here,
a twelve-foot road there, and patch
ing up WORKOUT road at another
place. All of these roads were wat
er bound macadam-not single
foot of permanent road work was
done.
Today the result is there every
road out of Hopkinsville has large
holes in it. If we are to build maca-
dam roads, in these days of heavy
automobile traffic, we must have
some method of systematic upkeep.
The French are known TO nave one
of the best road systems in the world
Most of their roads are the same
kind as ours, water bound macadam.
But their success lies in their system
of upkeep, which is omething like
this:
A man will be given so many miles
of road to look after. He starts out
each day with his little cart full of
rock, his sprinkling pot, his rake,
shovel, and Jumper. Every hole that
he finds is cleaned out, filed with
fresh rock, and tamped until it is
solid. In this way, few rocks in
time save big hole in the road.
We might do worse than take les
sons from the French.
