ALL CANDIDATES GOOD
PROMISING REFORMS

In opening his campaign for Gov
ernor. Col. Ed. Morrow devoted a
good deal of his time in discussing
old Republican chestnuts. He declar-
ed that if elected he would abolish
a lot of useless offices. We have
heard a good many candidates for
Governor promise this, but we have
never seen any of the offices abolish
ed. Bradley promised it, yet when
he was elected he found a Republl-
can to fill every Office at the disposal
of the Administration. Gus Wilson
was very positive that the people OF
the State should elect him in order
to get rid of a lot Of them. Not q
single Office was abolished, and the
people can expect nothing better OF
Morrow than of Bradley and Wilson
The candidate from Somerset also
talks about the wasteful extrava'
gance of the Democratic party. Sc
did Bradley and Wilson, but instead
of decreasing the expenses of the
State they both increased them.

PARIS MAY BE VISITED BY SU-
GAR SHORTAGE.

That Paris may again be visited
with a shortage of the sugar sup
ply is not to be unexpected, as &C
cording to statements made yester-
day, the supply is already growing
scare, and some restaurants have re-
sorted to the old way Of serving
sugar, Zone or two spoonfuls?"
One grocer stated that there was not
enough sugar to supply any but his
own customers, and the condition
may grow worse, instead of better,
The same state of affairs obtains at
many other places.
No relief in the situation is to be
expected before the first of the year,
when the New Orleans cane sugar
and beet sugar are expected to be on
the market. The beet sugar will not
be received before the latter part of
next month, it is said, and the New
Orleans cane sugar is not expected
| before the last of December. In ad-
dition to that the Louisiana cane
sugar crop is said to be only about
one-half of the normal supply.
There are several causes of the
sugar shortage at the present time,
the local dealers sand yesterday.
One of them is that many people
frightened by the prospects of hav-
ing to do without the product, have
boarded supplies. But the principal
| reason for the shortage it was said,
is that the refineries have been too
strongly attracted by export prices
and have sold too much to be ship
ped to Europe. The refiners now
claim they cannot get the raw sugar
to refine. Until there is some relief
in sight the people are urged by the
dealers to use sugar as economically
as possible, so that the threatened
and possible shortage may not cause
total privation.

NAME YOUR MEN, ED

Governor Black has very properly
asked Ed. Morrow to name the men
in the State payroll who ought not
to be there. Morrow says there are
314 of them in places created by the

Governor Black, in his speech at
Hazard, suggests that Morrow name
as many as a dozen Of the 314 he
saws are on the payroll.
"Mr. Morrow says there are 314

Governor. eff that is true, those en-

RAINS STOP STREET WORK

The heavy rains of the past few
DAYS have stopped completely the
work of concreting Pleasant street
and the repairs on Main street,
which have, been well under way.
The stoppage of the work has made
an almost impossible place at the
corner of Pleasant and Eighth
streets, near the Government build
ing. Pedestrians find it a difficult
matter to cross or recross the street
on account of the muddy conditions
prevailing at that point. With the
return of good weather these un-
pleasant conditions will be remedied
to the satisfaction of all.

DREAMLAND

The very incest thing I know
Is just to go to bed.
For after Mamma tucks me in
And all my prayers are said,
l float away to Dreamland
Ger the quiet Sleepy Sea,
And find the queerest. strangest
things
That are every one for me.
l sail on silver rivers,
Where the Grumpy Fishes live,
(You know the Grumpy Fishes
With ears just like seive),
l climb the golden apple tree,
Where big Dream Apples grow,
And drink from out the fountain
From which ice cream sodas flow
There are dollies. carts and wagons
In fact, all sorts of toys,
Which l get for just the asking,
AS do other girls and boys;
But best of all, I'm very sure,
Is the mountain that | see,
Which is made of purest candy
And every piece is free.
So now you know the reason why
l like to go to bed
And have my Mamma tuck me in
And when my prayers are said.
Turn out the light and go away
And leave me there alone
To sail the Golden dream seas
Till morning brings me home.

EnpeY and the BOlSheUiStS
By BRIGGS

Bolshevism is trying to substitute
1t is our duty to keep our colors
clean. Think of the thousands OF
our bunkies who died in France for
that flag. Is it not due them that
the Bolshevist parasites be shaken
from the folds of the Star Spansled
Banner
Ninety per cent of the Bolshevists
in America are foreigners. The other
ten per cent are native traitors to
the United States and. it's ideals.
Taken as a whole, they are the scum
of the earth.
To a certain extent it is our fault
that these trouble makers are in our
midst. Our immigration laws are
too lenient. We threw our gates
wide to the world and they took a
mean advantage of us. But we can
prevent others entering the United
States by putting up the bars OF
immigration until the problem is
solved. Then, when we have rid
ourselves of this troublesome and
dangerous element, laws can be
passed which will be strict enough
to insure the entry of only those who
will make desirable citizens.
But, let us get back to the present
and squarely face the issue in hand.
What is a Bolshevist? Any person
who, spreads discomfort, incites to
riot, waves the red flag, or condemns
the principles of our Constitution, is
n BolShevist.
The most dangerous propaganda
advanced by Bolshevists is that Boil
| shevism is working hand in hand
with the labor unions. This is q
bare faced lie, because in no way dc
the labor unions endorse or support
Bolshevism; in fact, organized labor
| is fighting Bolshevism. Organized
labor is not pitted against capital
| its object is to coordinate with capi-
tai so that the employer and the
employe get n square deal. A mem
Der of n labor union is a worker and
producer; his efforts are for his
country and home.

THE REVISED LEAGUE

tFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer.
While only a summary of the re-
vised covenant of the League of Ma
tions has been received, it is evil
dent that there has been n genuine
effort to meet the important criti-
cisms made in this country. There
seems to be little left to the asser-
tion that the sovereignty of the Unit
ed States is menaced. Indeed, SOW
ereignty is no longer in anywise en-
croached upon.
The Monroe Doctrine is preserved
by name. The Congress of the Unit
ed States is to be the judge of the
degree to which its armament shall
be reduced. Any decision, to have
weight, by either the assembly of
nations or the council, must be unar-
imous when a matter "of internal
tional interest or threatening the
peace of the world" is involved. IF it
should come to. a question of using
troops, Congress would decide
whether the United States should
take part, and if so to what extent.
Congress is thus paramount in de-
claring war. Domestic issues are
not interfered with. No nation is
obligated to assume a mandatory. If
1 IiiS 'ti'N.b StetttS 10 ulSSd IlSlleu, II
can wholly withdraw by giving q
two years notice.
There will be some persons, no
doubt. who will still oppose any lea
que whatever, but their objections
must be based upon some other
ground than has thus far been taken.
AS n matter of fact, there is very
! little in the covenant as now pro-
posed beyond moral agreement or
pressure. There are no fangs in it.
The teeth have been drawn, If there
ever were any real teeth. But it is
perhaps wiser to begin in q quiet
way rather than with blood-and-
thunder threats. This proposed
world combination is something en-
tirely new. Time must be given to
perfect the details. Experience is
a great teacher-the greatest teach
er of all-and with wisdom will come
n more complete organization in the
end or an agreement to disagree.
The moral power of so vast an as
sociation is bound to have tremend-
Gus effect upon a wayward nation.
| The undoubted sentiment of the
United States is in favor of a league.
To the wording of various sections
of the original covenant there were
many objections. Senators and 9TH
ers had held up to public view many
dangers-largely imaginative-until
there was much confusion OF thought
With revision has come clarification
and with Qualification the "round
robin" of thirty-seven Senators will
we fancy, become a reminiscence
Indeed, it cannot be otherwise when
all of the serious objections have
been overcome and common sense
has been resorted to by the Ameri-
can delegation in Paris.

FOOLISH ANTAGONIST

A n interesting situation has de-
~ veloped at West Chester which
furnishes at once lesson and
a warning for all communities.
Recently the officials of an import
ant industry of the town-the
Sharpless Separator Comp mpany-an-
nounced their intention to transfer
their large plant to another loca-
tion. This decision was based upon
the alleged antagonism of the busi-
ness interests of the community to
the management of the plant.
Now comes the board of trade,
the banking interests and others
prominent in the public life of West
Chester with an appeal to the head
of the important industry, which the
town is about to lose, to remain. 1t
appears that the plant is the chief
industry of West Chester, with a
weekly payroll approximating S15,-
600. 1t employs many hands and
it's removal. according to the busi-
ness men, would be an incalculable
loss to the general business of the
town.
At meeting held upder the aus
pices of the Board of Trade, the
head of the Sharpless Company was
assured that if the plant was re-
tanned at West Chester, the business
community would cooperate with
the management in every possible
manner and give all aid to the de-
velopment of the concerns busi-
ness. One of the prominent men
at the meeting asserted that the
commercial growth of the West
Chester was bound up with the de-
Velopment of the big industrial
plant in question and he expressed
the hope that the officials of the
company would take the action OF
the meeting as a pledge of loyalty
to their concern and that Mr.. Sharp.
less would decide to keep his plant
at its present location and person.
ally remain as the towns first citi.
zen. Resolutions were adopted ex.
pressing the regret of the business
men over the proposed removal OF
the plant, one of the largest of its
kind in the world, and pledging the
aid and cooperation of the busi.
ness interests in the development OF
the industry. All present at the
meeting insisted that Mr.. Sharples:
was wrong in his opinion as antag.
onism to the largest industry of the
community would be business sui
eide.
This incident is an illustration O
too-frequent attitude of communi
ties toward existing industries anC
mmercial enterprises. SO long q
the concerns go along their owl

Mice" Once Meant "FOoIiSh"
[From the Edinburgh Scotsman. ]

[From the Edinburgh Scotsman
Words that have undergone a re-
markable change of meaning with
the passage of the centuries are
pretty" and nice" Both these
words meant originally almost eX-
actly the reverse of their present
definitions! Pretty" comes from
the old French word proud or "prut."
In old Saxon the word became 'pfut"
magnificent, splendid, vain, inso-
lent. From this came ''prit" or
"pritte," meaning almost the same;
till at length it came to signify hand
some, bold or fine; finally, after
many gradations, reaching its pres
ent usual sense as a personal ad-
jective of girlish and effeminate sig
nificance. Nice" - which comes
from French source-at first
meant foolish, absurd, ridiculous;
then in course of time it came to
signify wanton, whimsical, fantas-
tic; then delicate and subtle, till fin
ally it was used to denote any
specially pleasant quality.
"Wedlock" is another word which
has lost some of it's original mean
ing 1t comes from a similar Saxon
source as "brydlac." Young people
nowadays look upon marriage as
a rather serious and solemn under
taking. 1t was a jovial festival with
our forefathers, apparently; for the
Saxon terminal lac" meant play or
sport; and the word is still used in
this sense in parts of Yorkshire and
Cumberland. Moreover, the Saxon
word bridal" is derived from the
two old words "bryd," a bride, and
"ealo," ale; so that it really means
the festive drinking in honor of the
bride"
"Bamboozle," meaning to swindle
or hoax, is a term we still hear very
! frequently. 1t is at least two hun
dred years old; for Dean Swift,
writing on contemporary manners,
speaks of certain words such as
banter and bamboozle now struggl-
! ing for the vogue"
