QUESTION of desirable agricultural

few days ago great stir was
caused when the Japanese purchased
a large sugar estate not many miles

AS result two bills have been
introduced in the house of representa-
tives which would give to the resi-
dents of municipality in the juris-

TRAVELLING MANS TxPERIrNCE


You may learn something from

and just eleven of them declared
their reason was pleasure. Ten in
sisted that they had contracted the
Manhattan disease, as doctors have
come to call the heroin habit, tru
"overwork" and IKE number sais
that they had taken dope that they
might be able to do more work.
Economically these addicts divided
themselves as follows: Those having
trade or profession, 1888; IA
skilled workmen, 1850. And 2rper
ent OF the former are engaged in the
business OF transportation.
If prohibition of the liquor traffic
has become necessary to diminish
crime IL is not likely that similar re-
preston of the drug habit will be
equally, If not more, effective in
achieving the same object?
The drug traffic is as mysterious
that we are unable to calculate rs
effects, but when we read that there
are 100000 drug addicts in Greater
New York we may be sure that dope
fiends have much to do not only with.
crime, but with accidents and a
cial anarchy. 1t is safe to say y
at no time was New York afflicted
with 2O0,0 drunkards.
Reformers who burn with a desire
, to do something for humanity and
who find themselves without an oc-
cupation now that the country is dry
might profitably turn their devoted
attention to the suppression of the
traffic in drugs. Their task wilt be
the most difficult they have ever 49,
f, tempted. for they must deal with
foe almost as intangible as a ghost.
His ways are always secret. He is
not to be found serving his soluble
stroying nepenthes across bars or in
cabarets or restaurants. He is an
outcast and outlaw and yet his de-
votes are perhaps more numerous
than were the absolute slaves OF
strong drink.-The Citizen.

WHY HIGHER TANES.

Throughout all Kentucky farm
lands have been raised sky high by
the state Tax Commission, and taxes
in the total have been increased until
the burden is almost unbearable.
The taxpayer sees no increased
benefits, no increased good effects Of
government and nothing to show for
the money he is paying. We some
times ask. why? what is the rea-
son? Think over the following fig
ures and you will begin to see the
light.
The present Democratic admins
tration has collected in taxes from the
people six million dollars more than
was ever collected by any other state
administration-an yet the states
interest bearing debt has grown
greater by two million dollars and
has now reached the staggering sum
of five million dollars, which is bear
ing five per cent interest, or $3.50
WV tNtIy ytdIs lNo piai hHo b''H
provided by the present administra-
ton, and the party responsible for
the state debt, TO meet or pay it.
no policy inaugurated TO reduce it,
no cutting down of expenditure, no
adjustment of useless Offices, but
those who would not drive their poll
teal henchmen and favorites from
the pie counter-those who would
not stop the leaks in the Treasury,
are now attempting to raise the as
sessment of every farmers land, and
in a left-handed way to raise the tax
rate and so provide more pap, pie
and jobs.
The staggering sum Of six million
dollars, the increased state debt Of
two million dollars and the sum total
of the states obligation of five mil
lion dollars, drawing interest at the
rate of $25O,OOO a year, is the real
reason back of the present unsatis-
factory tax law, and the PRODUCING
CAUSE Of the increased assessment
made upon farm lands. You can
vote for the party responsible for
these figures or you can vote to re-
buke that party.
A vote under the Rooster meane

A vote under the Log Cabin,
