make it so in fact, all means are
justitiable, nay, advisable, even to

should be pointed out, however, that
Berkman's recollections, quoted in

score of years after he made the

maturer man.

Henry Clay Frick is held respon-
sible for the accident by Berkman.
In his excited mind he reasons that
Frick ordered the shooting.
II could no longer remain indif-
ferent," he writes wildly, "the
moment was urgent. The toilers Of
Homestead had defied the oppressor.
They were awakening. But as yet
the steel workers were only blindly'

alone could imbue discomfort with
conscious revolutionary purpose !; it

are the outstanding issues, and, ac-
cording to Berkman, the offer made
by the strikers to arbitrate the con-
troversy is declined by the Carnegie
company.
The differences between the COM
pany and the strikers have thus far
been passive, and on the whole
peaceful, but quickly become active

tect its property In some way
women and children are shot. Berk-
man is fired to the point of white
heat. The time for discussion is
over, he reasons. He will meet vio-

be the "Attentat" The "Attentat," >"
he explains, is an act of political
assassination. 1t has been used for
decades by the Russian "Nihilists."

No, he contends. 1t is a sacred
deed and is done for the "cause"
and in the name Of the people"
And what is more, he viii not be
hindered by mere sentimentality."
Above all, he insists: 81 am revo-
lutiomist first, man afterward."
The Small Group
Briefly, this is summary of
Bcrkman's reasoning. 1t must be
admitted, however, that not all an

are SO many sects among this small
group that general classification
Of their beliefs is impossible. Cen
orally speaking, small group be-
levcs in the use Of violence-"tc ter

and Berkman's book is an excellent
exposition Of their views.

JAILER GAINING GROUND.

Jailer Tichenor has been bit UNI
fortunate during his fourteen months
in office, In having an unusually light
patronage of his Jail. A part of the
Jailer's income arises from lodging
prisoners, and IL the prisoners don I
lodge-well. he is just short that
much. Itch seems to be obliging
and clever. and is very popular with
the people generally but prisoners
don't seem to take to him. About a
year ago one prisoner disliked the
place so much he broke out and left
without even telling Worth good bye.
But recently Tich's business is pick
ing up. The first of the week he
had five boarders, and still has four.
This is the biggest bunch he has had
since he has been in office. 1t is
possible now that when these get
out, If they will give his place a
good name the patronage may i'm
prove.

told the court they had on one occa-

the dignity Of the Commonwealth by

was gaming charge against these
men, growing out of the alleged rob-

RUKUS AT ROCkPORT.

Marshal Bill Landlord had a
strenuous day at Rockport, Saturday,
according to reports from the city on
the river Green. As the story runs,
Elvis Douglas was brought before
the RockpOrt police court for trial on
some charge, and the Judge ordered
Marshal Landlord to search him.
Douglas made an effort to get away
and the Marshal put a gun on him.
Then. it is alleged. Douglas brother
and mother came to the prisoners
rescue. and wrenched the gun from
the Marshal's hand. Later in the
day the Marshal procuring assist
ance, went to the home of the Doug
lasses, arrested the father, II. C..
Douglas, and sons, Elvis and Frank,
kept them overnight in the Lookup"
and brought them to Hartford, Sun
day afternoon, where they were iodg-
ed in Jail. They are being held to
charge of disorderiy conduct and car
rying concealed deadly weapons.
They will be given trial today.

THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

On account of the announced pur-
pose of the County Board of Health
to keep the flu ban on until April
1, the trustees of the Hartford Grad
ed school effected a final settlement
with the faculty, and closed the
school for the year.
The FOrdsville school was opened
Monday, by permission of the State
Board of Health. Beaver Dam will
open Monday. AS only two weeks
remained of the term at Centertown,
the school there will not reopen.
Telephone calls to Rockport and Nc
Henry failed to get any definite in
formation in regard to the matter of
the reopening of the schools at those
places, and we assume they will not
reopen.

NEW ARMISTICE CONDITIONS.

On Monday, February 18th. terms
for renewal of the srmistice will
be presented to Germany. Two new
conditions will be imposed: one. re-
quiring suspension by Germany Of
all military activity against Poland.
and the other requiring that Ger
many shall cut down her military
forces under arms to twenty-five d.
visions or less.
There seems to be no doubt but
that all of the conditions contained
in the proposal for an extension Of
the armistice will be accepted, since
no other course (aside from that of
renewal of hostilities, which is out OF
the question: is open to the new

Ebert was, on February 18th, elect
ed President by the German National

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

Once upon a time circuit court was
held at Hartford at periodic inter.
walls. but that was before the days OF
excessive patriotism and grand
motherly flu bans. A great deal of
business has accumulated, and If all
hands and the cook ever get ready
for holding another term of court the
legal fur will fly. Judge Slack will
come over Monday and hold a few
days court, at which divorce cases
and some other causes of a distinct
ly legal character will be disposed of.
but no petit jury will be impaneled. Ii
is probable the Judge will call a
special term for an early date Jun
less IL is decided the farmers will be
too busy, shearing sheep and dis
cussing the League of Nations to sac
rifice the time for jury service.
Judges have good deal of authori-
ty. and we should not be MORALLY
surprised if Judge Slack should.

ton, despite the popular fear of war,

MIND UNBALANCED.

Mr.. Press Evans, of McHenry, was
brought here few days ago and lock-
ed up until a sanity inquest could be
held. Mr. Evans, before his mind be-
came unbalanced was man of good
intelligence, and a very hard worker.
He was not violent, but was about the
craziest man we ever saw brought to
the court house. He talked incessant-
ly about 1928. imaginary numbers he
assumed to be in a small blank day
book. After he was locked in jail
the sheriff and iailer decided to
search him for any possible weapon
with which he might hurt himself or
the other prisoners. and were sur
prised to find thirty five twenty dol
lar bills. or $500 in his pocket. He
had worked on the /. C. railroad for
several years, and had saved the mon
ey In small sums. out of his moderate
earnings. He was sent to Hopkins
vile Monday.

Beaver Dam, at noon Sunday. Her
death was due to a long illness. af-

TEN. Burial was in the Baptist
church cemetery, after brief funeral
service by Brother Allen. Mrs.
Blankenship was the widow of the
late William II. Blankenship, and the
stepmother of County Clerk Blanken-
ship. She leaves no children. She
was sixty-fve years old at the time
of her death. II was not our pleas
ure to know Mrs. Blankenship. but
the finest evidence of the goodness
of her character Is shown in the re-
markable devotion and attachment Of
her step-son, whom she had mother
ed from the third year of his infancy.
He remarks with feeling that who
ever faulted or criticised him the
good woman always came to his de-
Tense. even when he, himself, was

world justly bows its head in rever-

the holy instinct of motherhood.

GOOD ROADS CAMPAIGN

State Road Commission
To Send Speakers
To County. !

The Fiscal Court met Yesterday I'm
special session for the transaction OF
some general business, and incidentIy
discussed the road tax election. Il
developed that Commissioner Wiley.
OF Frankfort, would come here for an
address to the voters. The Publicity
Speakers Bureau, of Louisville. will
also send speakers into the county
next week. Friends of better roads
are arranging dates for the speak
ers referred to, and announcement of
places and dates will be sent out over
the county tomorrow. The list was
not completed in time for publication
In this issue of the Republican.
With the approach of election day
many of the leading citizens and
largest taxpayers of the county, are
busying themselves toward taking
Ohio out of the list of "backwoods"
counties in the matter of road i'm
provement. There is general con-
fidence among those who have clear
ly studied the question that the tax
will be voted by good majority, il
the people only rightly understood
the purpose and manner of expendi-
turs of the money when raised. It
is apparent that there is much mis-
information in the minds of great
many people in regard to this matter,
and for this reason it is being plann-
I'd to hold meetings in various Sec
ions OF the county, at which capable
speakers will clear up much confu-
sion in the minds of the public. The
voters should attend the meetings
md get road tax information from
hose who can clearly and thorough
y explain 1t.

ROAD TAN ELECTION.

The people will be called upon
Saturday March sth. to determine
whether or not they will continue
old methods of road work. or adapt
the modern system that marks the
progress of civilization.
We confidently believe that if the
people thoroughly understand just
what method would be adopted in
the use of the money so raised they
would not hesitate to vote the tax,
and shall endeavor to state the in
tention of the Fiscal Court, as clearly
as possible.
II the tax is voted the money
raised in each magisterial district
will be spent upon the roads in such
district. and it will be an additional
fund to that part of the present fund
now provided for such district. The
Fiscal Court will necessarily have
general supervision over the expendi-
ture of the road fund, but no in
dividual magistrate will have direct
charge of spending the money pro-
vided for his district. The Fiscal
Court will, as a body, select, after
consultation with the citizens of each
district, a citizen of that district
who will have charge of the road
work in his territory. Such citizen
will be required to give bond for the
faithful performance of his duties,
and the assurance that for every dol
lar spent a dollars worth of work
shall be done. This method puts
the expenditure of the peoples mon
ey in the peoples hands, and it be-
ing done under the observation of
the public it will be the privilege as
well as the duty of every citizen to
report to the court il at any time the
work is not properly and thoroughly
done. This money will be spent to
bring good roads to the very doors
of the people, and those remote parts
of the county, that have been too
long neglected, will, come In for a
fair share of road improvement.
No good citizen has ever question
the integrity and high purpose of
Judge Cook or County Attorney
Kirk, and the Magistrates are the
peers of any similar body ever elect
ed in the county, and the character
Of these officials is guarantee that

LAST WEEKS MARKET
on OWENSBORO FLOORS

The tobacco market during the
past week on the loose leaf floors
in Greensboro was one of the most
satisfactory TO the managers, and
most profitable to the growers
that was ever experienced in the
Green River district. The prices be-
gan to soar on the opening day of the
week This continued at each sale,
until all former records were brok-
en- on both classes of the weed. Many
baskets of good pryor sold for $45
and upwards per 100 pounds, and the
market literally went out at the
top" when the buyers paid $50 for
this class of weed. Sensational
prices prevailed at nearly all of the
sales which made everybody sit up
and take notice. There seems to De
no limit at all to the demand or to
the price the buyers are willing to
pay With offerings confined to al
most any old grade of weed, the high
est prices are now being paid. This
includes everything sold, the suckers
the sweepings ana all sorts of non
descript tobacco that a few years ago
could hardly be sold if offered.
The truth of the situation is that
the tone of the tobacco market is
stronger than was ever known. The
preceding week was regarded az a
remarkable one, but the pas. week
has far surpassed the expectations of
the Oldest farmer.
There has been more Burnley sold
this season than ever before. Last
year about 100000 pounds were sold
in greensboro, and already there has
been 1,2OO,225 pounds sold this sea-
