FRANCE IN HER HOUR OF
TRIUMPHANT VINDICATION.


TRIUMPHANT VINDICATION.
There is thrill that goes straight
to the heart of the world in Georges
CIemenceau's cry as he opened the
telegram that contained Germans
surrender before the Council of Three
We have waited forty-nine years
for this moment!
Under the crushing burden of hu-
initiation and the poignant smart of
dismemberment, France has possessed
her aching soul in patience and kept
her powder dry since 1870. Two gen.
erations have been born and have
grown up to manhood with one domi-
nant passion in their hearts-the
stern determination to wipe out the
dishonor of 1870. To that end the
supreme effort of the French people
as one man has been inexorably d.
rected.
In the long interval since the first
treaty of Versailles, France has
laughed only with her voice; she has
spoken only with her lips; she has
pursued the works of peace only with
her brain and with her hands. But
her heart has been deeply engrossed
in a single task. Upon this task she
has concentrated every fiber of her
being, spiritual and physical. Millions
of mothers of forty-nine years have
gladly sent their sons to the barracks,
there to spend the best part of their
youth--for ''la Patrie." Millions of
taxpayers have paid billions of taxes
without murmer-for ia Patrie. -
Millions of Frenchmen and French
women have sent burning glance to-
ward the Prussian frontier the last
thing at night and the first thing in
the morning throughout their lives
for "la Patrie" And millions of
Frenchmen have died with smiles up
on their lips in this closing phase of
the half-century struggle-for Ga
Patrie."
Now for the first time in the past
half-century France is looking the
world in the face. Now for the first
time in half-century France is smil-
ing with her heart The soul of a
indicated nation spoke through the
lips of the "Tiger of France" when
he said:
We have waited forty-nine years
for this moment.
The Germans insist, even in the
last bitter phase of their delibera-
tons, that this peace is a peace of
violence and not of justice. That
feeling, if it persists, is apt to cause
some friction and some disharmony
in international relations. But if the
Germans continue in their sullen at
titude, they will be hurting only
themselves. Not one of the trainers
of this peace which has brought
healing to the soul of France would
venture to call it a perfect peace.
Perfect works are beyond the power
of man to perform. But this peace,
for the first time in the history of
the world, represents sober attempt
by the craftsmanship of the world
to base new structure of society
upon the sound foundations of justice
instead of the uicksands of passion,
vengeance, malice and cupidity. 1t
is the nearest approach to a perfect
peace that the world has yet seen.
1t bids fair to maintain the equil-
ibrium and tranquility of recon
structed human society for at least
a century.
The vindication for which France
has been patiently waiting and pas
sionately working for half century
is too strong and too enduring an
achievement to be upset by German
resentment and German hatred.

VALUES IN BOURBON

A committee composed of Prof. E.
NJ. Costello, Judge George Batterton,
d. G.. Parrish and John J. Redmon,
went to Frankfort yesterday to make
q protest against the increased as
sessment of Bourbon county lands
and town lots, and to ask for a fur
Their reduction in the assessment.
The committee appeared before State
Tax Commissioner A. ]. Scott and
entered a formal protest and appeal.
Some time ago the State Board
made an increase on lands and town
lots in this county of $6,000,000.
When a mass meeting of citizens
WAS held and a committee sent to
Frankfort to protest against such
an enormous increase the Commission
allowed a reduction Of $1,250,00O.
The committee is now of the opinion
that the former reduction is INSULT
Gent to equalize the taxable property
of this county with the taxes of
other countiesTand asked for another
decrease of $500, 900.

PARIS MEN STUDYING MAYS.
VILLE'S BRICK STREETS

| Councilman John Merringer and
Mr.. Robert S. Porter were in Mays
vile, Tuesday, where they spent the
day as guests of city officials and the
newspaper men. Messrs Merringer
and Porter inspected Maysville's
brick streets and were very enthusi-
astic in their praise of the appear
ance of that public utility.
They were told by the Maysville
officials that the best investment
| Maysville ever made was the brick
streets and that not citizen in the
city would be willing to have any
other kind put down They were
furnished with facts and figures per-
tanning to the cost of construction
and maintenance of the brick streets,
and with data to prove their great
usefulness to the city. They were
taken over the city in an automo-
bile trip of inspection, and shown all
the points of interest.
Council Merringer is the author
of the ordinance for paving certain
streets in Paris with brick. which
came up for discussion some time ago
in the Paris City Council, and which
came up last night for further dis
cussion.
Mr.. Merringer says If Maysville's
streets could be seen by every citizen
of Paris, and they could see for them
selves how durable they are, even
those at present opposed to them
would become convinced and con-
verted.

HOPES FOR SOLUTION OF THE
DAM" MATTER REVIVED.

The people of this city, as well as
those of other cities who are readers
OF THE NEWS and other county pa
pers, have heard great deal regard
Ing the building of a new dam at the
Paris Milling Company's plant, to re-
place the old one fast falling into
decay and disrepute. At divers times
hopes that solution of the difficulty
would be arrived at and the dam
would be thing of reality, would
be dashed to earth by the refusal of
some of the parties to come to a
definite understanding with the 9TH
ers. Now 1t seems that the matter
will be finally settled.
An agreement had been reached
for conference of representatives
of the interested parties to be held
in the Office of Mayor E. B. January,
Wednesday. This meeting was held,
when it developed that the plans and
specifications for the new Structure.
would not be ready until tomorrow.
AT that time the contract will be let
to the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road Company. A large force of
workmen will be put to work, and
the new dam will be completed with
in thirty days from the first day con-
structiOn work is started. Those
present at the conference Wednesday
were Mayor E. B. January, repre-
senting the City of Paris; Sherwood
Williams. representing the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad Company, as
constructing and consulting engi-
neer; Mr.. e. M. Dickson, legal rep
resentative for the Paris Water Com
pany, and Judge Denis Dundon, rep
resenting the Paris Milling Company.
1t has been estimated that the new
dam will cost in the neighborhood of
SIS, 500, One-half of which sum Is to
be paid by the Paris Water Company,
and one-half by the Paris Milling
Company. Both parties to the trans
action have agreed that the Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad is to have
charge of the construction work. To
Councilman John Merringer is due a
large part of the credit for securing
definite settlement of the question,
as he has worked long and faithfully
to bring the interested parties to-
gether for the purpose.

MILLET ESTATE MUST PAY
BOURBON TAXES.

Deciding the case of P. ]. Millett's
executor against the Commonw wealth.
the Appellate Court reversed in part
and affirmed in part the judgment OF
the Bourbon Circuit Court.
Through the State revenue agent.
Wilton S. Byars, suit was institute
ed against the estate of Millett to
collect alleged back taxes due the
State and Bourbon county for omit
ted personal property owned by Mil
lett. There was no dispute as to the
amount of personal property, but
there was a dispute as to Millett's
residence. The years in which the
property is alleged to have been
omitted from assessment were from
1911 to 1916 inclusive. The total
value Of the property for the time
is s231,996.
Although Millett lived in Bourbon
county he always registered at the
hotel as being from Knoxville, Tenn.
where his mother and sister lived.
He had lot in the cemetery In that
city in which he had "Millett" en-
graved in large letters on the center
monument. Furthermore, Millett
never voted in Bourbon county, all
though he owned a large farm in the
county.
The Court decided that MiIlett's
domicile was in Bourbon county and
that he must pay taxes on the omit
ted property for the years given in
that county.
