SMELLING COMMITTEES"

Smelling Committees" was what
National Chairman Homer S. Cum
mings called the 80 Committees
which Republican Congress has
created to investigate various phases
of the conduct of the great world
war. His characterization does not
miss the mark. 's,,J
Never was there revealed such a
deliberate purpose upon the part of
a great party to discredit its own
country. These committees are now
engaged in shopping around the
Capital hunting for some thread OF
evidence upon which to base a
charge of incompetency or graft
against the Democratic Administra-
ton. They are using the micro
scope 10 discover a. defect. while the
naked eye can only see a glorious
whole.
The Republicans know that the
war was won under a Democratic
Administration. They know that
under a Democratic Secretary of War
100000 Americans were called to
the colors in eighteen months, and
two million of them sent overseas.
They know that under a Democratic
Secretary of Navy our boys were
sent across a submarine-infested sea
without loss of life. They know
that the financial resources of the
country stood the shock of war be-
cause of a Federal Reserve law,
passed by Democratic Congress,
approved by a Democratic President
and administered by a Democratic
Treasury Department.
They know Americas proud place
which she has won before the ma
tions of the world, and for narrow
contemplate partisan purposes they
are attempting now to besmirch that
glorious record.
We know something of the tenn
per of the people and we know they
will resent such a course. They do
not want two millions of their money
collected i'm taxes-for that is what
these partisan Investigations have
cost to date spent to dim the glory
of Americas war achievements, and
they will rebuke the party that has
set out upon such a plan.

ANOTHER HAUL ON
COUNTRY BANK
Bank or WOODBURY., Near Bowling
Green, Entered And Safe Blown

Louisville, Ky, March 20.-Po-
lice are keeping watch on the Dixie
Highway for four men in Cadillac
car. who are suspected Of having
robbed the Bank Of WOODBURY., at
WOODBURY., fifteen miles south of
Bowling Green, March 16.
Automobiles Of all suspicious
looking persons will be stopped and
their occupants questioned.
The cashier Of the bank phones
here that the vault was blown open
and about $1,000 in Liberty bonds
and war savings stamps stolen from
safety depost boxes Of customers of
the bank. He said that the yeggme1r
failed TO open the door of the safe,
but obtained SEQ from the cashiers
till.
The message from the cashier
was received by Harry Smith. sec
rotary of the Kentucky Bankers as.
sOciation.
Like Other Jobs in State
The robbery at Woodburn so
closely resembles the work of the
safeblowers who operated at banks
at Taylorsville, Shepherdsville, jeff
erssontown, and other Kentucky
towns, that it appears certain one
organized gang is responsible for
all OF them.
The fact that the men suspected
used high-powered automobile
strengthens this belief. as the noise
OF high-powered cars, leaving towns
which had been robbed was heard
at a number.
At the Bank OF Woodburn a hole
was drilled in the vault cOmbina-
ton. and it was blown open with
BitrOglycerin.
Yeggmen have operated at seven
kentucky banks since January l.
They follow:
Deposit Bank, Eminence.
Bank of New Haven, New Haven.
First National Bank, Adairville.
Crab Orchard Banking Company.

"ABSENTEE: CRAFTSMANSHIP"

There is nothing about their du-
ties in the United States Senate that
seems sufficiently important to COM
mand the presence of its Republic
can members who are active candi-
dates for the nomination for the
Presidency.
Reservations to the Peace Treaty
are being voted on daily, and the
final vote on the Treaty is approach
ing; pressing domestic problems are
being considered on the floor and in
Senate Committee, but mere trifies
like these do not affect these ambi-
tious gentlemen who are so eager
to be President that they seem to
have forgotten they are Senators.
Nobody has prated more about his
"Americanism" than Hiram Johnson
of California, but when the United
States Senate is passing on reserya-
lions which Senator Lodge insists
are vital to "Americanize" the
Treaty, Hiram Johnson is on the
hastings in South Dakota trying to
win that States paltry three dele
gates to the next Republican Nation
al Convention.
Senator Poindexter is another who
affects to save this country from the
perils of the Peace Treaty and the
League of Nations but there is no
business in Washington so import
ant to Senator Poindexter just now
as making speeches abusing the
President when ever he can secure
an invitation, whether it be in Maine
or California. Congress is certain
to be in session until midsummer,
but Senator Poindexter's manager
announced a few days ago that the
Senator would spend three weeks in
May in Oregon trying to keep the
Republican voters of his neighbor
State from voting for Leonard Wood
in the Presidential primaries.
Senator Harding is another Re-
publican Presidential candidate who
has not been bashful in answering
speaking calls from far and near,
and now he is engaged in a ten days
junket in the West and Southwest,
m quest OF votes at Chicago.
We are not inclined TO object to
these eminent Republicans running
for President like II was Constable
II that is their idea OF the manner in
which the highest honor in the land
should be bestowed, but as long as
they are Senators, they should recall
at odd moments at least, that the
United Senate meets in the Capitol
in Washington, and that IL is now in
session"

nAcmSs-xADE NOMINEES

The LoSnsville Herald, speaking,
We presume, with authority, said .
few days ago that Republican lead
ers throughout the State are seek
ing arrangements whereby only one
candidate for Congress will be
brought out in each District"
TIL Herald goes on to give the de-
tails Of these arrangements" which
the Republican bosses in Kentucky
are making. In the First District
the harmony program has already
been agreed upon" and The entire
party organization is to get behind
one candidate" In the Fourth Dis
trict, all possible entries are to be
side-tracked for Judge Haswell, who
is the bosses selection. In the Sixth
District, the leaders are endeavor-
ing to unite on some strong candi-
date to oppose Congressman Rouse"
In the Ninth the way is not so easy,
but, according to the Herald. il may
be cleared up" and only one candi-
date aspire to the Republican nomi-
nation.
Finally, the United States Sena-
torship must be disposed Of. There
are at least a half dozen prominent
Republicans who would like to be-
come candidates for that nomina-
ton men like Gov. Wilson and Judge
Kerr and Judge Bethurum but as the
browning achievement of this har-
mony'' scheme "some leaders" pre-
dict according to the Herald that
there will be only one starter in the
United States Senatorial Derby this
fall"
In days gone by the great mass of
the voters, even in the Republican
party, were supposed to have some
little voice in naming their party
nominees for high offices, but not so
in Kentucky under the reign of A.
T. Hert. The idea of the average
voters having intelligence, patriot
ism enough to take part in nominat-
the United States Senate is repugn-
ing candidates for Congress and for
ant TO his finer sensibilities. 1t is
the LEADERS" who are to be en-
trusted with this work, and when
matters reach the stage where the
people can pass upon their nomi-
nees. the leaders" will have only
one candidate for them to consider.
All others are to be warned off the
grass.
The people OF Kentucky may like
this sort of boss rule, but we do not
believe it. They may want an or
ganization, more arrogant and pro-
scriptive than any organization ever
known in Kentucky, to make their
nominations months in advance, and
without consulting them, but we be-
lieve they prefer to do it themselves.

The Paris baby put on It's nrSt
trousers at the st. Louis caucus in
Nay of last year, where Legionaires
r 4 every state and possession of the
United States put their "red-blooded
spirit of sacrifice into principles that
have been declared to be Il practical
application of the Sermon on the
Mount. At the Minneapolis convention
in November these purposes were OIL
cially adopted and the Legion has es-
tablished branch departments to care
for each declaration it then made.
What the Legion has accomplished
in Kentucky is typical of what 1t has
done in every State in the Union. Ken
lucky has 100 Legion posts, with a
membership of more than 5000, ana
by the time of the next state conven-
ton in August it is expected that every
county in the state will have at least
one local post and that the member
shin will amount to 10000 former serv-
ice men,
The American Legion of Kentucky
plans first to take care of the disabled
as II result of the war, and the widows
and orphans of those WHO died III the
service. Fer this purpose bureaus of
Rehabilitation, war risk insurance ana
accomplishment are being operated.
Perhaps the biggest work the Ken
lucky Legonaires have undertaken
and will prosecute for the general pub
lie welfare is the stimulation of loO
per cent Americanlsm. This work
founl its model III the December cam
paigI' in Louisville, instituted jointly
by the Citizens Auxiliary Committee,
heated by Marvin III. Lewis, and the
comralttee of the American Legion.
The Legion Is iorking for the Amer
icanlzation of the foreign-born ele-
ment, which annually comes to KEN
tucky, to the end that ii may be as

ideals of America. The Legion Is seek
Ing the general use of the English lam
guage and the proper control OF lmml'

In the name of the Kentucky Legion
bills curbing sedltion are now before
the legislature. They echo the deter
animation reached n all national lie
gion gatherings to mete out punish
ment to those persons making radical
utterances regarding the overthrow OF
the present form of Government. The
Legion believes that free speech does
not mean license and that the issue
must be met squarely and promptly
It's members do not propose u stand
by and look ON while agitators OF un-

no unnecessary parts. Tho Stag is all
plow. Every one Of It's few parts aids
directly in making 1t easier for you and

Because Of its simplicity and

RELIEF WORK HALTED
Arab Insurrection Forces American
 Workers to Abandon Camp
By Associated Press

New York September 1S.--The Arab insurrection in Mesopotamia stopped the work of the Bagdad branch of the American commission for relief in the near east, according to cable mes sage to the headquarters of the re- lief organization from Dr. Philip Me- Dowell of Wooster, O., in charge of the American relief activities in northern Mesopotamia
 The American relief workers have had to abandon the refugee camp at Bakuba, thirty five miles northeast of Bagdad and fifty miles, from the Per sian frontier, the message says, and the station has been moved to Nehrumar Bashr. The uprising against the Brit ish occupation is reported to be gen. eral in the district north of Bagdad.
 Mail advices to the local relief head quarters indicate greatly disturbed conditions in Persia. The American re- lief workers and British families have evacuated Teheran because of the dan- ger of bolshevist uprising. The Per- sian brigand leader. Khuddaverdi, has joined the bolshevists and is laying waste the country side between Ira brig and Tereran. The Persian gov ernment is reported to have requested the British to arm and equip force of between 50,000 and 10000 Per sians to meet the bolshevist menace.

CHARGE PRoFITEERING
thattanooga Coal Man Made Profit or
 $6.50 a Ton, Alleged
Kx Associated Press

ChattanoU5a, IcAi., SSpeSnlper io- Charging ill statement issued at Knox vile that certain Chattanooga coal op- orators and brokers had purchased coal at state mines for $350 per ton and sold the same at S10, or at profit of S6ot per ton, United States District Att6eAey w. T. Kennerly has announced that he will begin prosecution against alleged offenders as soon as Federal Judge San- ford has rendered an opinion on the temporary injunction secured by three local coal companies.
 Information concerning the aieged profiteering by coal men was furnisnea the district attorney by federal agents who have been Investigating the coal sit uation in East Tennessee.
 It is said that these agents checked the coal cars through railroad recoros to the delivery and Aound on the books of the purchasing firms that s10 a ton had been paid for coal which had cost the brokers only s3.50.
 In the opinion of District Attorney Ken nerly the restraining order secured by the Cory Coal Company, Riddle Coal Com- pany and Federal Coal Company to pre- vent him from prosecuting them for al- legged profiteering is now technically at an end and that suits can be brought inn mediately. The restraining order was granted by Federal Judge A. M. Cochran, Of Kentucky, last July and made effec- tive until September 15.
