Under the caption of "ROAD TAN
DEFEAT" the Hartford Herald deliv-
ers a lengthy article accusing the
present County Administration OF
most everything short of highway
robbery. The Herald would not at
any time come out either for or
against the tax proposition, but wait
ed until after the election was over
and then by it's Road Tax Defeat"
article announces to the world that
it was against the proposition for the
reason that the administration could
not be trusted. 1t says Too much
CONSUMED in compensating County Of
ficiels and ex-county officials for SUI
pervising, constructing &c" 1t would
have been so much easier if this has
been the rule, to have specialized,
give the names of the County officials
and ex-county officials who have been
grating, for that is what the ac-
cusation amounts to. 1t would have
been very nice of the Herald, and
quite fair too, if it had stated that pc .
titions signed by large number OF
voters calling for this last election
had been filed with the court, yet it
did not mention that fact. If it had
done so, there would have been no
basis for the statement that the ques
ton was Forced so frequently" no
wind would have been left in it's
sails if all of the truth was let out.
More than one-half Of the article
does not bear at all on the road tax
question, but upon This is not all.
The people are deprived of the privi-
lege of seeing how their money is
spent. This same fiscal court, by
defiantly refusing to publish, as the
law requires, a statement of receipts
and disbursements-not merely a
balance sheet, but an itemized state
ment IN the paper having the largest
circulation in the county, says in eff
lSNls lHdl thC ldA pay CID nave iiO libhe
to know where their money goes &C."
And the Herald says "IT is THE
PAPER OF LARGEST CIRCULA-
TON" (But not in this article, how
ever) We wonder if, at the foot of
the itemized statement, it will, in
fairness to the Fiscal Court, state
that the Court has time and again
tried to get an impartial committee
to audit the County's accounts, so
that they could be published, but for
some reason or another those ap-
pointed or requested to make the tab
ulatiOn could not do so. Mr.. Rowan
Holbrook together with the writer
were appointed by the Court to do
this very thing, but we could never
find a time when both could start
work on the investigation. The
Court finally tired, waiting for us to
do the work, and appointed another
committee, with no better results
than at first. So you see the state

ment last made by the Herald is a
long, long ways from the fact, and l
can't believe that the writer's know
ledge was so bad that he did not know
of these efforts to have a financial
statement made. And last, we Won
der if at the foot of the published
financial statement, If the Herald
publishes it. it will say that the max
ing of this statement cost the below
ed tax payers $4,000, or whatever
it amounts to, and, If it will kindly
say that The publication of this
statement in The Hartford Herald,
cost the same much adored tax pay
ers 5000 or $500 or whatever the sum
may be.
Do not understand us to argue that
the statement should not be made.
because that is not the case. The
main trouble is with the author of the
article above referred to. He didn't
take the trouble to try to give the
facts. He only shot as he saw fit,
for no other reason than to try to
make political capital out of the
whole business It's what you might
term a big Bertha" as ii was shot
from afar off. A man who draws
four, and five (maybe SKI times the
salary of any grating" officer of
Ohio county, who lays off of the job
and travels hundreds of miles to take
upon himself the onerous task of
putting something over, ought
to take time TO investigate sufficient
ly to be enabled to give all of the
facts. If he did this he would not
have quite so much time to tell the
Democrats of Ohio county who to
vote for, for Governor, and other
such little matters.

Uncle John Shell, of Leslie County,
who claims to be 116 years of age.
and whom others say is as much as
1870 years old, says he has been a
temperate user of whiskey, a moder-
ate user of tobacco, but glutton for
free air. Time was when his like
ness would have been worth some
thing for adornment of wrappers and
pastors for cigaret packages and bot
tled-in-bond products, to say nothing
of the walls of homes of model license
and personal liberty leagues.

Henry "Tin Lizzie" Ford, in his
million-dollar libel suit against the
Chicago Tribune, has thoroughly
demonstrated the fact that he is un-
lettered and if not an anarchist as the
term is often applied and used, he has
most assuredly been of strong anar-
chists tendencies along certain lines.
Had he been charged with anarchy
and on trial, with the evidence such
as it has been, we confess that we are
more than doubtful as to the verdict

An extensive campaign has been
launched to raise funds necessary

DRY of "Kentucky's Sons" who died
in the recent war, on the Campus of
State University, at Lexington. This
is a move in the right direction and
the people of this great Common
wealth should respond in terms Of
many dollars. The campaign is in
charge of some of Kentucky's ablest
financiers and best citizens, which al
most insures the success of the I'M
dertaking. Many other states have
already secured the necessary funds
to erect memorials of this character
to the memory of their deceased
heroes, and, Kentucky can do moth
ing more fitting than to complete just
such a building as will perpetuate
the deeds of Kentucky's fallen Sons,
10 future posterity.

has the Sth congressional district
failed to send a Democrat to congress.
in season and out of season. 1t was
regarded as impregnable from Repub-
lican attack, yet last Saturday King
SwOpe, of Danyille, a young but ac-
tive and popular Republican, de-
feated Judge Hardin, man of abil'-
ty and one of the very best and
strongest men within the democratic
party in the district. This, too, was
on the date of the primary, when tho
Democrats had hot fight on for all
of the positions on the state ticket,
which was calculated to have drawn
their voters to the polls in numbers
sufficient to literally oyerwhelm the
opposition, as no other contests of
any note were on the cards. The,
more than 1890. majority registered
against Judge Hardin in the rock
ribbed Sth, can be construed in nv
other way than as a dark omen for
the unterrfied in the elections this
coming fall and the big "fracas"
scheduled for 1920.

ASSERTS MONTENEGRO
REVOLT WELL DEFINED
That Country's Legation Here Re-
ports Massacres by Serbs De-
spite Their Denials.

Men, women and children were mas
sacred and remaining people in

of death or swearing allegiance to
the Serbian crown and the revolution
airy movement in Montenegro is well
defined, Notwithstanding Serbian de-
mails. are declarations of the Monte
negrin legation in washington. which
has issued a statement in regard to
this one of the many Balkan tangles.
The statement says: An official IN
formation received by the Montene-
grin legation indicates that in Nlks-
= hitch, a town of the interior of Mon
tenegra, the Montenegrin, revolted
against the Serbs, who are at the
present time occupying Montenegro
with view to annexing the country
Asserts People Oppose Occupation.
'In spite of what might be said
and will be said by the Serbian gov
eminent or its representatives, TINS
occupation is entirely against the
will of the Montenegrin people which
demand its independence and will not
submit to foreign domination eSpe-
cially that of the present Serbian
government, under which rule worse
atrocities have been committed than
those attributed to the Bulgars. Dur
ing the NikShitch outbreaks the Serbs
massacred defenseless old men,
women and children; those who es-
capped the slaughter were given the
alternative either to be killed or TO
swear allegiance to the Serbian
crown In the villages in the vicin-
ity of Nikshitch, namely in Ozrinlt-
Chi, Strashevina. StubitSa, klltchevo,
Rubezani Dragovaluka, kotchanl,
Milotchani and Brotchanats, the Serb
regulars massacred the population
sacked every house and took all the
booty they possibly could lay their
hands on, including the cattle.
I'VE wish to emphasize the fact that
in spite of all Serbian Vaccinations
and intrigues against Montenegro and
her king, the latter is still recog-
nized as such by all the nations of
the world with the exception of the
gang that is official Serbia). and that,
at the present time there is no form
err king of Montenegro living, but
that King Nicholas is still the soVe-
reign of the country with the loyal sup
port of his oppressed people"

 NOTE ABOUT GERMANS TO PRESIDENT WILSON

LONDON, Jan. 27.-Editors and publishers of American trade journ- als who recently visited the former battlefronts in France sent a letter to President Wilson during his stay in England in which taey proposed punishment for the German leaders and their agents for piracy, murder and pillage. The communication was signed by Horace M. Swetland of New York, as chairman of the party of journalists; Roger w. Al len, president of the New York Business Publishers Association; i; and nine others from New York, Boston and Chicago.
 After stating that they had vis- ited the battlefields, ruined cities and obliterated villages of Belgium and France. they added in their let ter: VI W

Development Was Carried on Also at the Mother Lode Mine and Ship
 mentS Made.

The following account of the Ken necott property is contained in re- cent issue of the Boston News Blu reau =
 The Kennecott-Bon and Jumbo mines were in continuous operation throughout the last year, except when the Bonanza was shut down two weeks because the tram had been carried away by snowslides, accord ing to the Geological Survey. Ship ments from the Jumbo mine were curtailed six weeks from the same cause. The production of both of these mines was reduced throughout the year by the scarcity of labor. the mines being operated from March 1st. to October 1st with approxf- mately 75 per cent. crew.
 In October the crew was increased to about 90 per cent. of its normal capacity. At the Jumbo a new dou. Accompaniment incline was begun and extended to the 500-foot level. At the Bonanza mine the double com. partment incline was extended to the 800-foot level The TOO foot level was the only new level opened during the year, but a large amount of lateral development was done on the 600-foot level Some work was done preparatory to increasing the capacity of the Bonanza tramway from 500 to 800 tons and of the Jumbo tramway from 450 to $50 tons a day. At the mill only minor changes and additions were made.
 The addition to the ammonia leach ing plant was not entirely completed during the year but was so far ad- vanced that the plant is now capa- ble of treating all the tailings com ing from the concentrating mill. Ma terial treated at the teaching plant for the year will assay approxi. fhately 0.85 per cent. of copper in the form of carbonates. An extrac- ton of about 75 per cent. will be made, with loss of hal: pound of ammonia per ton of material leached. The Erie mine was operated until AusuSt AV, WHeH IL was SHut uOWu for lack of labor. ss
 The Mother Lode mine made ship ments or ore during the winter. De velopments at the Mother Lode mine include the continuation of sinking of the shaft and the driving and de- velopment of the Rhodes level by about 2,5o0 feet of drifting and ttin- neling thereon. fs

CONNECTS FROM UTAH HAVE CONSTRUCTED
 MANY STATE HIGHWAYS

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 29.-Con victs from the Utah State peniten tiary constructed something more than forty miles of highway in Utah during the last two years, according to the biennial report of Warden John A. Storrs. These roads were constructed in different parts of the State, and in addition there was 2 period when a large force of men from the prison was employed in emergency road work caused by high water and floods.
 A noticeable decrease in the mum Der of prisoners received during the biennium is commented upon in the report as being worthy of special mention. Warden Storrs, however does not endeavor to analyze the decrease, although he says it is part iy due to prohibition and war condi- tions.
