Some Is or 80 cases of flu

news rung out, the death angel

Will blair and took his loving
wife, Ruth. She was % years
old. She professed religion
when but a little girl and was a
good and faithful christian of
Prominence Baptist church. At
the age of 10 she was married to
Will Blair. To this union were
born two sons, Scott and Paul.
She was a good mother and a
loving companion She will be

The House has passed, and it
is taken for granted the Senate
will pass and the Governor sign,
a prohibition enforcement act.
This ought to be accompanied by
still another law providing for
the removal of judges, sheriffs,
mayors and police commissioners
who fail to enforce it. Ken
lucky is tired of the gambling,
vice, defiance of the laws and
other gentle graces that have
marked the cities in which the
liquor element had control. Any
official who fails to keep his oath
of Office ought to be removed

The Elizabethtown News, in
speaking of the promises made
by the Republicans during the
last campaign, says: I'm the
presant Legislature they will not
make a single change of any i'm
'portance to the present tax law,
and instead of reducing taxation
it will be materially increased by
additional school taxes, which
the Fiscal Courts are bound to
levy up to 60 cents if the County
Boards of Education demand
that much, and by the increased
assessments, which will !fall prin-
cipally upon Democratic coun-
ties. Only the other day the
Republicans were given chance
to carry out their platform
pledge, when a bill was offered
in the House to reduce the tax
rate from 40 to 25 cents on the
hundred dollars on real estate.
Did the Republicans pass it
They killed it and voted to a man
to do so. The Democrats were
fooled last fall by Republican
promises, both on the question
of useless Offices and taxation,
but what we have had at Frank
fort this year we would like tt
see the color of the eyes of thu
Democrat who votes the Republi
can ticket next fall.

gaging smile.

Half an hour later a similar note
was thrust into the parlor window of

.DEsERTION SECTION

The records of the selective draft
show that out of more than 49,
100000 men which is called to the
service of their country that $685.
26G men were classified as draft de-
linquents and deserters. A thorough
investigation has been made by the
Government of each of these cases
with the result that ISL, 1854 men
have been classified as nOn-willful
deserters, and these will be given
clean states after certain formall-
ties. This leaves 1891 names of
those classified as "willful desert
ers." The names of all these will be
published broadly in order that the
stigma of shame may be attached to
all such men as failed to heed the
call of their country in time of war.
Whatever disposition there may be
in official circles to let bygones be
bygones is out-weighed by the decis-
ion of the War Department that
prosecution in each of these cases is
necessary in order to keep the faith
with the loyal young men Of the
country who did not finch when the
hour for personal sacrifice was at
hand. 1t therefore seems certain
that some of the "clever" young
1cen of the country, who evaded
military service have difficulties
ahead that will make the solitary
days of peace-time very disagreeable
in comparison to the memorable
experiences among the crowds who
went to war.
