STATE TAKES BEREA
ROAD IN so DAYS
Richmond Winchester Pike To
Come Next Thus Relieving
County of Big Sections

Within 80 days, the Richmond
Berea rad, consisting of ID miles
of Madison county highway. will
be ready to be taken over by the
state for permanent maintenance,
this being the first of the six
contemplated by the state in this
county. The next one will be
the Observation-Disclosures road,
extending through Red House.
and it is probable this will not be
taken over until March, of next
year. However, this will be %
miles of roadway less for the
county OF Madison to maintain.
The finishing touches are being
applied to the nrst named road
and County Road Engineer J. G.
Baxter is of the opinion that three
weeks of nice weather will let him
out, and place road in such con-
dition that there will be no hes
itancy upon the part OF the state
in accepting it. The county road
men are rapidly finishing up a
number of improvements, but
that of the Richmond Winchester
highway will probably be the
most extensive, with the excep-
ton of the Irvine road. The road
to the north will be fitted out with
a number of new bridges,
change of location in the vicinity
of Red House. as we'll as else
where. and one of the biggest
bridges being constructed in the
county will be there This work
is we'll under way and is progress
ing very rapidly. 1t is being SO
arranged that when the road is
closed for the completion of the
bridge, this blocking will be of
but short duration. The abut-
ments are being worked on and
the completion of the highway
work on this pike will be re-
corded during the winter months,
in order to have it taken over by
the state in the early spring.
There are many squads of
workmen in various parts of the
county hard at work in order to
get the highways in the best con-
dition possible before the arrival
of rough weather.

NEGRO WOMAN
TALKS TO REPUBLICANS

Republican leaders of Madison
county must have been we'll pleas
ed with the result Of the speaking
at the court house Thursday
night, when the wife of a negro
named Banks, of Winchester
spoke to large gathering. The
lower court room was crammed
to its capacity for the occasion,
fully 90 per cent of the audience
appearing to be negroes, both
men and women. The speaking
had not been publicly advertised
and there were very few white
persons in the room.
The speaker urged the negroes
of Richmond and Madison county
to vote for the republican ticket
and against the League of Nations
which she declared violated the
Magma Charter, Declaration OF
independence, and Constitution.
In urging the negro women to
go to the polls, she declared that
the cOlored servants are on the
same footing as white girls who
clek in stores, operate in tele-
phone exchanges, or otherwise
work for living and they should
avail themselves of their privilege
the same as the white women.
Her speech contained many of the
standard arguments which the re-
publicans are using i'll their eff
forts to win votes.

warning to the trust and the
allied manufacturers that if it
falls below the price of production
she growers of Kentucky will re-
sent it, and l tremble for the con-
scquences, for it is just such rob-
5ery as this which breeds law

Chairman Newman emphasized
that the new organization offered
la remedy, and he predicted that if
an effective organization is form
ed the production can be gradual
ly restricted, prices maintained
and millions of dollars go into the
Golfers of the hurley tobacco
growers. Moreover, he asserted,
that they value of land in the bur
ley district would become stand

way. Taking broader view of
the situation and looking to the
future, the speaker recommended
that all of the tobacco producing
associations Of the country-those
from Virginia, the Carolinas,
Michigan and Connecticut as
well as from Kentucky, should
send representatives to general
tobacco conference at Washing
ton and effect a national organi-
zation, to inquire into the slump
in the prices Of tobacco, urge
Congress to standardize the
grades of tobacco and enact laws
for the benefit of the Industry.

COX, NOT WILSON,
IS The CANDIDATE
Democratic Nominee breaches
Doctrine To Kansas Farmers
Thursday

| Wichita, Kans., Oct. domestic
and international subjects were min
gled with the Leagus of Nations issue
by Governor James M. Cox in nine
addresses Thursday in Kansas.
In response to a question on Mexi-
CO, Mr.. Cox referred to the state
ments of Senator Warren G. Harding
regarding protecting" American cit
izens and interests, and added:
"Its one thing to talk about pro-
tecting American citizens, no matter
where it might be, but when an adj
knows where he is going, the United
States ought not to send brigade of
soldiers with him."
Mr.. Cox was quizzed at Hutchinson
and Newton regarding prohibition,
and again characterized Mr.. Harding
as "brewer," declared thaat on Sen
ate prohibition measures Mr.. Harding
"voted wet thirty-two times and dry
two times"
He added that under similar cir
cumstances he would have duplicated
Mr.. Harding's dry votes.
A man asked why President Wilson
vetoed the Volstead Enforcement Act,
and the governor replied sharply:
"He gave his own reasons. And
let me add, Wilson isn't running for
president this year; Cox is running
for president"
When applause from his Newton
audience subsidized Cox added that
he intended no disrespect "to the
man who would take his place in his
tory with Thomas Jefferson and Abra-
ham Lincoln"
Russia, Mr. Cox declared, should
be admitted to the League of Ma
tions as soon as its requirements can
be met.
About regarding the leagues atti
tude toward Russia if this nation
were a member, Mr.. Cox replied:
"The league would be compelled to
keep hands off Russia and permit the
Russian people to work out her own
salvation. And Russia Will
Germany, Turkey and all other non
member nations, the speaker added,
should be invited in when possible.
To his audience in Kansas agricul
tural communities Mr.. Cox reiterated
his plan to place agriculturalists in
more governmental positions, again
defended the causes for the Nonpar-
tisan League movement, advocated
repeal of many war taxes and modi-
fication of "most" others and prom
ised federal regulations of the meat
packers and cold storage interests.
Mr.. Cox again denounced the "sen-
atorial oligarchy" characterizing
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Massa
chusetts, as the "arch-conspirator of
the world and narrow-minded bigot,
the man who wrote the hymn of hate
against Woodrow Wilson" He also
fiayed those responsible for the ar
rest of a man who interrupted Mr..
narding's Baltimore speech, and
asked:
'Is this America or Russia?"

the attitude of many of the party
leaders on the League of Nations

Borah and Johnson are planning

Harding designed to develop def

! less retailers. Then there must be
added those who are willing and anx-
ious to join the capitalists on one
hand or the labor unions on the
other. And between these two
classes there are the intermediate
millions-there must be sixty mil
lions or seventy millions of them, at
least-who are being ground to ex-
tinction with measurable rapidity by
I'the exactions Of the labor unions on
one side and the demands of the
profteer on the other"
The process of compression, how
ever, has results which may be def
nitely counted upon. The synthetic
diamond is one of the results of
compression. What is called spon-
taneous combustion is another, and
explosions frequently result from too
great compression of normally
yielding mass. The compression of
Americas intermediate millions has
now resulted in thin column of
smoke which indicates the smolder-
ing fire within the mass.
December 13, at the Greenwich
Village Theater, the Peoples League
of America was formed. 1t is
the middle class union, the organi-
zation Of the intermediate millions
to assert their power and demand
their rights.
The Peoples League has three i'm
mediate purposes. It wants to count
noses, to see how many the middle
class of America actually numbers.
1t wants to raise flag around which
these intermediate millions may
rally. And it's flag will be neither
the red flag of anarchy nor the black
flag Of piracy, but the red, white and
blue of liberty and. fair play. For
this reason it has taken as it's motto.
"Fair play for ALL" In the third
place, it wants to see if the Ameri-
can middle class has the bowels to
fight for its rights, or if it is content
to writhe in torment and weakly cry
out against the tyranny of grin
ming minority.
If the American middle class will
fight, the Peoples League pur-
poses to give it the organization

has been experienced in the produc-

Of the climate in some places.
This compels many farmers to

"Organized labor and organized
capital, when in dispute, totally ig-
more the general community; they
regard its interests simply as weap-

treat the middle classes, as Germans
did the women and children in Bel

fighting men.
"The middle classes are the most
powerful community in the political
world, but they are impotent, be-
cause their power is not organized.
They are the backbone Of the body
polite, but backbone without force
or life, in that each vertebra is
separate and fit only for game Of
knucklebones by street urchins."
So. at the instigation Of Mr.. Ken

the middle classes formed themselves
into a trade union, under a pro-
