REV. b. b. BAILEY D. D., PASTOR FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

At the meeting of the officers of the
First Baptist church held on Tuesday
evening, Dr. B. B. Bailey, pastor of
that church, informed the officers that
at the regular monthly church bust
ness meeting on Thursday evening he
would present his resignation as pas
tor of the local church to take effect
on the first Of August.
Dr. Bailey resigns the local pasto-
rate to become member of the staff
of evangelists of Home Mission Board
of Southern Baptist Convention. He
has been considering for some time
giving up pastoral work and devoting
his entire time to evangelism and the
Superintendent of Evangelism of the
Southern Baptist Convention has been
endeavoring for some time to have
staff
Since coming to Maysville a little
more than year ago, DR.. Bailey has
done a wonderful work with the local
church. He has proven one of the
most successful and popular pastors
the Maysville Baptist church has ever
had and 1t is with much regret that
the membership hears of his intention
to leave Maysville. He has made
friends as we'll in all denominations
and the general public will hear Of
his leaving Maysville with much re-
gret.
DR.. Bailey was very much pleased
with his pastorate here and regrets
himself to leave but feels that his call
Is to the evangelistic work. He has
been greatly in demand for revival
meetings since his coming to Mays
Vile and feels that he should devote
his entire time to this phase of the
work. When informing the officers OF

tention to become member of the
Home Mission Boards staff of evange-
lists, DR.. Bailey said that he would
not give up the pastorate of the local
church for call to any other church
he knew of just at this time but he
feels that he will be enabled to accom-
plish more as an evangelist than he
could as a pastor. 1t is known that
since his coming to Maysville; DR.
Bailey has received calls from four
different churches in the South, all of
which would have paid him much
larger salary than the local church.
but he has refused these calls.
DR.. Bailey is recognized as one of
the best pulpit orators within the
bounds of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention. His sermons at the local
church were always excellent He is
one of the most cultured men Mays
vile has been honored to have as a
citizen and yet, with his high degree
of culture, he is man all classes
consider their friend.
The resignation will take effect on
the first of August but DR.. Bailey will
preach his last sermon in the local
church on the first Sunday in August.
He and his family will make their
home at Shelbyville, KY, and his
headquarters will be in Atlanta, Ga
During the month of August Dr.
Bailey will hold a revival with the
Providence Baptist church near Win
chester and ON the first of September
will enter upon his duties with the
Home Mission Board. His first re-
vival under the Board will be held ir
Mobile, Ala.
The people of all denominations joir
the local Baptists in regretting the
loss of this splendid man and excellen
preacher and in wishing him mucl
success in his new work.

FUND ARE NOW DUE
Those Making Pledges In the United
War Work Campaign Are Re-
quested to Pay Same at Once
As Money Is Now
Needed.

One year ago, when the fate of the
world was hanging in the balance, the
American soldier in the front line
trenches in France was given the word
to start for Berlin.
To the glory of American arms,
when the doughboy was ordered to
60 ten miles he did not halt and say,
mo l won't go ten miles. I'll just go
eight" He went the full ten miles and
many more and democracy was saved.
Last fall the American people pledg-
ed the largest sum ever subscribed In
the history of man for similar pur-
pose; to minister to the physical, men
tai and spiritual needs of men In the
service everywhere. The campaign
was carried on by seven great agen-
cies, the Y. NJ C. A., the Y. w. c. A.,
the National Catholic War Council
tKnights OF Columbus), the Jewish
Welfare Boad, the War Camp Com
munity Service, the American Library
Association and the Salvation Army.
To date the payments on those sub
scriptions have covered about eight
miles on ten mile advance. The army
and navy are far from being demob-
ilized. Every penny subscribed in that
campaign is needed. Kentucky Is
little better than the rest Of the states
IN average collections, but stands

Subscribers to the fund everywhere
are urged to pay up and keep faith
with the American soldier, sailor and
marines. Payments should be made al
once to local treasurers.
President Wilson and General Per-
shing are fully aware of the great
need for this money and have sent let
ters to Raymond Fosdick, chairman oi
the Commission ON Training Activi-
ties urging that ali subscriptions bs
paid promptly.

STICK TO THE POINT

There must be no red herring-no,
nor royal salmon dragged across the
trail of duty. Both Congressional and
popular attention has indeed been
largely diverted from the covenant
and the Treaty to the pressing issue of
domestic economy, and it is well that
it should be so. The national interest
which the President so shamefully ne
elected, and which because of his ne
glect have been brought to so grave
crisis, are more urgent than the inter-
national phantasies in the pursuit of
which he sacrificed them. Without in
the least condoning his neglect of duty.
or overlooking the fact that while
now asking for more power he has
failed to use the power with which he
has all along been invested, patriotic
public spirit manifestly requires Con-
gress TO do what it can to get the
country out of the miserable mess in
which the President has involved it.
But there must be no relaxation of
duty toward the great issues which
were before the Senate before it was
COMPELLED to take up the high cost of
living, the question of railroad control
and other domestic matters 1t has
been intirated that the President ex-
poets consideration of these latter top
les to aoate opposition to the Covenant
and to facilitate It's ratification I'M
changed. If SO his expectation will be
vain. Patriotic Americans, not pos
sessed of-or by-single-track minds,
will perform the duty and will not
leave the other undone. There can be
no doubt of the Importance of domestic
reforms. There can be no doubt of
the still greater Importance of pro-
tecting the integrity of our national
sovereignty.
/ If the Covenant were to be adopted
as it stands, with its insidious and leth-
al attacts upon American nationality,
it would not greatly matter what liv-
ing cost or how railroads were man
aged. With the cessation of our nat
ional independence there would be
nothing left worth cherishing. The
greater comprehends the less, and in
the loss of the greater we should also
loose the less. With the integrity of
the nation safeguard, we can face with
confidence and serenity any domestic

THE NOMINATION OF JUDGE R.
r. HENDERSON,.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the matter of making the nomination
of Judge Robert R. Henderson certain
at the primary election on Monday
next.
1t will not do for any Republican to
assume because no candidate for the
position has announced himself in op-
position to Judge Henderson from
either Allegany or Garrett county that
Judge Henderson will be awarded a
certificate of nomination. With two
candidates in the field from Washing
ton county, it at once becomes appar-
ent that Judge Henderson must re-
ceive at least the second highest vote
in the primary that may be cast for
the three candidates for the Judge
ship, otherwise Judge Henderson will
lose the nomination.
Judge Henderson has served the
people of the Fourth Judicial Circuit
for the past sixteen years in a manner
highly creditable to himself and his
course upon the bench has reflected
credit upon the people who elevated
him to the position. He deserves
vote from the people of Garrett county
on Monday next that will show their
appreciation of the man and be
fitting testimonial to his fairness, i'm
Partially and ability upon the bench.
Judge Henderson's services have been
rendered in a way which have merited
and received the approval of the bar
of the whole State and of the judges
of the courts, and he is entitled to a
vote from the people that will show
their confidence in him. In addition
to this, all other intelligent people of
the State will understand that Gar
rett county believes in keeping up the
high STANDARD which Judge Hender-
sons services upon the bench have
been so instrumental in fixing for the
Fourth Judicial Circuit.
We therefore appeal to all Republi-
cans in Garrett county to make sure
that they have properly marked their
ballots before casting them in the
primary election on Monday next so
that the result will be that Judge Hen
derson receives the solid vote of the
party in this county.

difficulties which may arise And this
is more to be borne in mind because
of the utterly unworthy attempt of
the President to use our domestic
economic problems as grist for his
international Covenant mill. This is
an old trick of his. Years ago he told
Congress that if it did not repeal the
Canal tolls law he would not know
how to deal with more important
but neutrality-suspicious.. Later, ne
told Senators that if they did not vote
for woman suffrage, hewould be great
ly embarrassed in his prosecution of
the war. And now he tells Congress
in effect that if it does not ratify the
Covenant of the League of Nations, he
does not see how the cost of living can
be reduced or disasterous strikes of
Government employees be prevented.
An old trick; but it will not work.
The duty of the day is plain. That
is to be done, we believe, by a return
to sane principles and normal condi-
tons; and not by indulgence in any
further fantastic nostrums which Mr..
Wilson may concoct. 1t would be folly
to invest him with additional autocratic
powers, seeing how he has partly ill
used and partly non-used those which
subservient Congress two years or
more ago bestowed upon him. He has
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting. 1t is now time for Congress
to withdraw all that remains of his
extraordinary war powers, and to sub
stitute its own enactments, with which
he will have nothing to do but to ex-
ecute them as Congress prescribes.
In foreign affairs, pari passu with
domestic, the duty is to amend into
rational and constitutional shape the
special treaty with France, and then
to ratify it without single dissenting
vote. That should be done at once, so
that the exchange of notifications may
be made before Lafayette Day, and the
PRONUNCIATION of the treaty may form
the salient feature of our national cell
ebration of that day.
Then, after that, must be taken up
the other great day, the greatest of all
and no less great because thus post
poned. That is to ratify the Treaty
of Peace so as to readjust on a normal
basis our international relations, but
to do so in way which will leave us
and keep US nation, with all our
rights and powers of national sover-
eighty unimpaired. That this is easily
to be done, through ratification with
amendments-or reservations; it mat
tiers little what they are called. But
they must be comprehensive, uneoui-
vocal, and resolute; and they must not
be adopted subsequently as a sort of
vermiform appendix to the treaty, but
must be made an integral and inseper-
able part of it.
The President defantlY boosted that
he would so Intervene the Covenant
with the Treaty that they could not
be separated The Senate will show
itself able to Intervene its reserva-
tons with the act of ratification so
that the President will not be able to
separate them. And to do that is the
supreme duty, with which nothing else
must be permitted to interfere.

TO THE REPUBLICANS OF GAR.
RETT COUNTY

The Republican State Central Com
mittee for Garrett county wishes to
call your attention to a peculiar situa1
ton which has arisen in the judgeship
nomination.
There are two candidates for NOM
ination from Washington county and
one candidate from Allegany county,
and under the law only one can be
elected from Washington county, and
one from Allegany county, but the
Attorney General has ruled that all
three candidates names must be on
the primary ticket
The candidates from Washington
county are Harry Brindle and Frank
G. Wagaman, and the candidate from
Allegany county is Robert R. Hen
derson, and although Judge Henderson
has no opposition, nevertheless it is
necessary that he be voted for at the
primary, together with one of the can
didates from Washington county.
We, therefore, advise all voters at
the Republican primaries to vote for
Robert R. Henderson as the candi-
date from Allegany county and for
one of the candidates from Washing
ton county
