Ernst Elected, But
Kentucky Democratic

Unofficial figures from practical-
ly every county in the state indicate
the election of Richard P. Ernst,
Republican, over Senator J. G. w.
Beckham, Democrat, by a majority
of between 1000 and 5000. The
Democratic national ticket is lead
ing by approximately 5000, and it
appears the official count will show
the state to be safely back in the
Democratic fold. The defeat of SEN
ator Beckham is a distinct disap-
pointment to his many friends and
admirers in this section of the state.

"Utellum'' Banquet
A Great Success

The first quarterly meeting Of the
Chamber of Commerce Of Mt. Ster-
ling and Montgomery county held
last Monday night at 7 o'clock in
Ringo's Hall, was by far the most
enthusiastic gathering of the bust
ness men of Mt. Sterling and the
farmers of Montgomery county ever
assembled. From beautifully deco
rated tables a committee from the
Country Women's Club served the
banquet and it was truly a meal aft
for the Gods" During the banquet
music was furnished by Miss Flo
Shirley at the piano, and Miss
Christine Ramey, violinist. The
principal address of the evening was
made by J. W. Newman, former COM
missioner of agriculture, which ap-
pears in full in this issue of The Ad-
vocate. Other speeches were made
by County Commissioner R. g.
Kern and by S. S. Pinney, we'll
known tobacco man. The meeting
was in the nature of a "Utellum"
and the "Utellum' spirit prevailed
throughout the evening.
Fred W. Bassett, widely known as
an entertainer, gave a monologue,
which fairly brought down the
house. G.. B. Senff's song "You Tell
EN-" and Joe Keller's "The World
May be Round, But It's Crooked just
the Same" both scored hits with the
audience, judging from the applause
they received. The banquet was pre-
sided over by President Harry G.
Hoffman, one of the C. C.'s most
enthusiastic members.

League Doing Good Work.

Sweden and Finland have agreed to
submit the question of ownership Of the
island Of Aland to the League Of Nations
for determination, and thereby difficulty
that involved a threat of war has been
placed in the line of satisfactory and
peaceful settlement.
The Poles and Lithuanians, who had
been engaged in bitter and deadly war
fare for several months, have agreed upon
an arrnistice. pending the determination
of the questions at issue between them by
the League of Nations.
Thus it is seen how powerful an agency
Of peace the League of Nations already
has proved TO be, even though it is weak
ened by the abstention of the greatest
Power In the world from membership.
What could it not do with our country
full member, exercising it's immense power
and influence in the cause of World Peace.
Can it be conceived that the American
people will deliberately vote to keep aloof
from membership in this agency for great
good. and look coldly and unsympathetic-
ally upon its righteous purpose to make
vindictive and destructive war impossible
in the future?

WHERE WE ALL AGREED.

II would save the vocal organs Of tho
candidates and the whole tribe of stump
speakers, and no end Of time and space,
if the political orators would pass over
the topics about which there is no dIHcr-
ence of opinion and confine themselves
to the subjects whose treatment would
be affected by the results Of the election.
For example, all Of us are agreed that
taxes should be reduced If possible
and that there should be honesty and
economy in the disbursement of the
public funds. IL is needless TO argue
that there should be civil and religious
liberty; we have them. We are agreed
that children should 90 to school and
learn reading, writing and arithmetic,
basket weaving. chair making, domestic
science, drawing singing and tho rest OF
the elements of twentieth century pm
mary education. We are agreed IN oar
unbounded admiration for the farmers,
our unlimited fespect for the wage earn
ers, and our determination that even the
rich shall have the equal protection OF
the laws.
We are all agreed that all mankind
or more particularly all Amcrlcans-
shall be healthy, wealthy and wise. We
are agreed that laws shall be enforced,
even those that we do not thnk highly
of. All of us are in favor Of peace and
prosperity, and totally opposed to war
and devastation and impoverishInent
We are courageously determined to pro
tect the true and the good and the beau-
tiful; we dote upon these, and are deter
mined TO hand them down to posterlty
undiminished. We are for free speech
and free press, with few reservations
concerning people who are trying to create
Instructions. We are for the rights OF
everybody.
1t would reduce the consumption of
time and white paper if all the political
orators would recognize that nobody Is
antagonixing these things, and cease In
sisting upon them as if they were issues
TO be decided next November. With this
economy of time and print there would
be wider opportunity TO discuss the
things that viii be changed by the results
of the November balloting. Philadelphia

Closing of q Shipbuilding Plant.

The launching of the 'last steamer" by
the Pusey & Jones shipyard at Gloucester,
N. j.. recently, only means that the build
ing program of the plant has been con-
cluded. and that it may not be closed en-
tirely, according to the statement by an
official of the concern. There are, however,
fears that there must bea reorganization
before the plant will be operated on
scale approximating its capacity IL
served efficiently during the war, when
the dominant demand was made for ships
and more ships" when the government in
sisted upon every energy being directed to
rapid production 1t built many vessels,
but certain conditions led the United
States Shipping Board to assume control
of the plant and conduct its operations.
Now that the board has finished all the
work on hand, three hundred of the work
ers have been laid off. The closing of the
ward for time seems unavoidable, al
though the parties in control say such q
step is not in imminent contemplation.
The plant of the concern in our city is
said to have work on hand for several
weeks, and it is hoped the immediate
future has nothing In store that will make
it necessary to reduce its productive ca
pacity to any material extent.
1t may be well to emphasize the fact
that the Gloucester shipyard is the first
old-established industry of the scores along
the Delaware river that has been brought
to the closing point by the ending of the
war, except, naturally, some of the muni- 4
ton works whose output was no longer
needed. 1t is rather surprising, In view of
the great number of new ones set going by
the war, that almost all are still IN opera
ton, although some have changed their.
line of manufactures. The demand for
other things that may be produced at
szch plant as Gloucester gives assurance
that employment for one kind or another
Of construction work will be provided,
under new ownership or a reorganization
Of the present control.

TIPS" AND THEIR TAKERS.

The habit of tipping for personal serv-
ice is an old one, brought to America from
abroad, where it had long been an attribute
of ROYALTY, initiated by the lesser of the
noble breed, and aped by the snobs who
imagined themselves confirmed In their
self assumed superiority by the process. In
the original assertion of divine" power
by the monarch all property was under his
disposal, and the subject was rich or poor
as his sovereign willed. The petty despot,
the feudal lord, baron or count, held SINH
larly the veal Of his immediate followers,
and it was O general and not entirely s.
reprehensible practice to ''crook the preg-
nant hinges Of the knee that thrift might
follow fawning."
In America the custom has grown from
mere bestowal of largess or grateful
expression of satisfaction and appreciation
for service suitably rendered. 1t has be
come rather burdensome imposition on all
who patronize places where tips" may be
exacted. In the beginning it was on the
Pullman car that one felt the trust more fire.
quently; the underpaid porter depended
on the hberality or generosity OF the patrons
of the great monopoly for his living. Now
it has spread TO the hotels, TO the barber
shops and elsewhere, until it is not only an
imposition but a nuisance. Laws have
been enacted against it, but generally have
failed because of the peculiar nature OF the
payment, but this does not detract from
the fact that it is wrong.
That is why we hope the BARRIERS In
New York win strike they have com
menced, their demand being wage on
which they can live without having to
depend on gratuities from customers. The
s'boss barber" has not lessened the charg-
es to the customer, and by implication
requests the patron of his shop not only
to pay for whatever service he received at
the establishment rates, but to contribute
further to the wages of the man employed
This is wrong, and no amount OF sophistry
can make it right. No denial is made of
the right of an individual to give tip if
he SO desires, but the workman should not
be left dependent on this for his pay while
his employer exacts full rates for the ser
yice.-Omaha Bee.

A RegrettabIe Defamation.

Democrats generally, and many who
are not Democrats. will deeply regret the
resignation of MIR. Alexander J. Butler OF
this city as candidate for insurance COM
missioner on the Democratic ticket. Al
though he was strongly inclined to &C
ceptance, Mr.. Butler discovered, on re-
Election and investigation. that it would in
volve his surrender of a private business
position that is more remunerative than
the office for which he had been named.
He is not blaimable, therefore, for refrain
ing from what would mean large financial
sacrifice, even if the high compliment of
nomination was equivalent to election.
1t now devolves upon the Democratic
State Committee to nominate candidate
for insurance commissioner. II 10 hoped
the committee will be able to secure one
equally competent, popular and satls-
factory as Mr.. Butler undoubtedly is.

Three hundred years ago British in

rendered these fears groundless, but led to
a new epoch of expansion and prosperity.

johnson Forces the Issue.

After sitting on his front porch looking
out over the hay" a. he announced he
would do Immediately after his defeat for
the Republican nomination for President,
Senator Hiram W. johnson Of California
has made up his mind what course to pur-
sue throughout the remainder of the cam
paign. He announced his conclusion in a
speech delivered at the California Re-
publican State Convention, yesterday.
Senator johnson is known throughout
the country as an inveterate opponent of
the League of Nations. He repudiates it IN
its entirety and insists that our country
should do likewise. In his speech he an
nounced his intention to support Senator
Harding, and advised al other Repub-
licans to do likewise, because he believes
Harding is as violently opposed to the
League Of Nations rs he is.
According to johnson, Senator Harding,
in his public addresses. has put himself in
opposition to the League of Nations. He
has absolutely scrapped it, " says Senator
"Hi," and has plainly declared that If
elected President he would not go into
that great combination of nations TO in
sure World Peace. On the contrary,
Governor Cox has declared positively and
unequivocally that if elected President he
would ego in" Therefore, Senator john
son urges the country to defeat Cox and
elect Senator Harding to the Presidency.
1t may well be imagined what desperate
squirming will follow Senator Johnson's
plain delivcrance of his reason for support
ing Senator Harding. Harding himself,
who does not know where he stands IN re-
spect of the League of Nations, will not
know what to say now, while ex-President
Taft, ex-Attorney General Wickersham
and other leading Republicans who have
been laboring earnestly to make IT appear
that Harding is friendly to the League Will
be dumfounded.
However, the country IN general VIII not
be disposed to doubt the accuracy OF
Johnson's analysis of Harding's position.
On the one great, overwhelming issue OF
the campaign, the Republican candidate
for President stands with Russia, Bulgaria,
Turkey and Mexico-against the League
of Peace and its noble purpose to insure
World Peace.
