four candidates to be chosen to be

The primary is non-partisan with
five entries, only one of whom VIII

list with their known political COM

single ballot, alphabetically, and
change the order with every fifty of
the ballots. There will be no device
or other means of designating the
candidates, as the voters will select
A of the to stamp opposite their
names.
Very little interest is being taken
in the primary. The people general

ously signed petition to vote on the
repeal of the law was circulated last
fall, but it was found that such a
vote could not be taken until after

(Herschel A. Long,

At IHlS WrlIlng, MT. MORROW, Re
publican candidate for Governor of
the State of Kentucky, has refused
to give his views in regard to the
ratification Of the Peace Treaty and
the League of Nations. Governor
Black has called upon Mr.. Morrow
time after time to give his views
the press of the State has repeatedly
requested that Mr.. Morrow express
himself-but the cry has been un,.
heeded-and the people of the State
are in ignorance as to Mr.. Morrow's
attitude on these important ques-
tions. Mr.. Morrow has tried to crawl
behind the excuse that the ratifca-
tion of the Peace Treaty and the
League of Nations are national ques
tions, and therefore have nothing to
do with State affairs.
These questions. are national uues-
tions, but they are also State ques-
tiOns, because each State is an in
tegral part Of the nation and further
they are LOCAL QUESTIONS.
Kentucky is great tobacco rails
jig State. Christian county is a.
great tobacco county-raising as
much if not more black tobacco than
any other county in the world. The
bulk Of this tobacco is for export.
Before the war, large part of this
tobacco was bought for German and
Austrian firms.
The writer has just rteured from
a sojourn of several months in the
interior of Germany, and during that
time he visited parts of Austria. To-
bacco is one of the scarcest articles
in these countries. The people crave
tob2&o and are willing to pay any
price for it. They have done with
out it for aperiod of four years and
now they want n at any cost. But
foreign trade with these countries
cannot be firmly established until
our Senate ratifes the Peace treaty.
A group of Republican Senators
are holding up, and obstructing in
every possible way the ratification of
peace with Germany. They are
playing politics while other nations
are grabbing the foreign trade. This
delay is costing the people of the
United States millions of dollars. The
remainder of the world is waiting to
see what the United States is going
to do. Foreign exchange is uncer-
tain, and the enemy nations cannot
credits until peace is rati-
fed. We have no trade with Ger
many or Austria. We have no rep
resentative on the, Inter-allied Com
mission which says what, how much,
and where Germany and Austria
shall buy.
/ have talked to a number of to-
bacco men, and they have all said
The same thing-that if the Peace
Treaty had been ratified a month ago
Or if-it were ratified today--that the
ptAe of this years crop of tobacco
would be FIVE DOLLARS PER
HUNDRED HIGHER.
And yet, Mr.. Morrow, states that
this is national question and has
nothing to do with State or local
Affairs.
1t appears to US highly important
|ocal issue. The dilatory methods,
and the political maneuverings of the J
Republican Senators in regard to the
ratification of the Peace Treaty
i've cost the farmers of Christian
county over MILLION DOLLARS
On tobacco alone.
Christian county and the remain
ier of the "Black Patch" differ ma
.eriany with Mr.. Morrow in regard
o this not being local issue. They
Fould like very much to know his
.entimehts in the matter. II

the fixing OF what shall be considered
a legitimate profit on a given volume
of business. Then II the business
man or business concern makes more
than that fixed percentage Of profit It
should be considered excess pront and
the Government should take all the
excess. Business would understand
then that it could not gouge the pub

iteering went on. the revenues OF the
Government would increase and taxes
could be reduced accordingly. Some
such system must be devised, for the
public will not stand for the present
shameful profiteering forever.
Many theorists hold that punitive
measures offer little in the way OF
permanent relief. but experience does
not bear out this theory. Sound
banking has been brought about very
largely through punitive measures.
