Fifty Years In I
The Same Business

John w. Jones, at the age Of 10
years, so years ago, began the jew
elry business in this city. Two and
one-half years he worked for p. L.
Reese and for Saint Julian one and
one-half years. For forty-six years
he has been in business for
himself. Barring one year when
he was at Versailles he has been ac-
tive at the bench or behind the coun-
ter as salesman this number of
years, and from a small beginning
Mr.. Jones has grown with his trade
until today his store. J. W. Jones &
Son, is one of the largest with the
most costly goods of any store in
Kentucky. His trade is not confined
to our own city and county but he
has fine trade over the state and
in the surrounding counties. Rare
brilliancy adorns his cases, and the
trade considers Mr.. Jones' opinion
worth while in the naming of quail
ties and values of rare stones.
Returning from Versailles after
the expiration of one year Mr.. Jones
rented window of the late and Ia
mented J. W. Harrah, and his bust
ness soon began to grow. Both
Messrs. Jones and Harrah's birth
days were July 2nd and on that day
they celebrated and the Glorious
Fourth as we'll From the dates
above given it will be observed Mr..
Jones is &C years old and it is our
pleasure to say, he is as vigorous
as when he began his trade and
works as continuously now as then.
Mr.. Jones was married May 16,
1880. to Miss Lena Lane, and to-

Clay Cisco Appointed
State Road Inspector

Our good friend and neighbour
Clay Cisco, an ardent Republican
and most excellent citizen and un-
firing business man, has been chos-
en- as road inspector under the new
Kentucky road commission and has
entered on his duties in Bell county.
This is a responsible position and
we do not hesitate a moment to say
Mr.. Cisco will be as faithful to the
states requirements as he is to his
own personal duties NAthat he will
give full time and the state will
prosper by his labors. This is a
wise appointment and we take this
opportunity to commend the admin
istration in their seeking a capable
and industrious man who will prop
erly care for the states interests.
Mr.. Cisco was candidate for the
Republican nomination for Railroad
Commissioner of this district at the
last state primary and his with
drawal from the race was only due
to farming interests that demanded
his attention and his manner of
conducting his campaign won friends
and landed this appointment. Con-

Motion Voted Over

At l :43 o'clock this morning the
motion was formally voted over with
a rolling chorus of ayes and crash
ing Of the brass bands.
States standards which had surg
ed back and forth in the desperate
battles of the deadlock raced to the
front of the hall and to place be-
fore the platform.
In the confusion and excitement
of the nomination for the Presiden-
CIV, the convention forgot about a
nomination for the Vice Presidency,
but the leaders were figuring on
list which prominently included
Franklin d. Roosevelt, of New York,
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy.
While the crowd was demonstrating
its release from the deadlock the
leaders arranged an adjournment
until noon today TO canvass the
question of second place in the
meantime and meet again prepared
to complete the ticket.

about the Auditorium for five min
utes or more the delegates cleared
out, leaving the big hall abysmal
and dark, a litter Of torn papers,
banners, ribbons, flags and other
abandoned paraphernalia and a
mass c dis-arranged chairs.
A Presidential candidate had
been nominated after Al hard
fought ballots which had threatened
to eclipse the celebrated 46-ballot
battle to nominate Woodrow Wilson,
in Baltimore eight years ago. Some
pretty hot anmosities had been stir
red up and some pretty fierce
charges had flown back and forth
in the hurried conferences which
had been going on all through the
fight.
But the moment the nomination
was made unanimous all the fac
tons seemed to join in the demon
stration.

ident
Manager Moore, of Ohio, the CEN
ter of a large group of admiring

Within twenty minutes after the
convention hall had resounded with
the p-roaring shouts of the victors
and the blare of the brass band, the
crowd rushed through the doors and
the big fight was over.

There is no particular mys-

The Minneapolis Tribune,

same editorial policy as the
Journal. It attacks the Nonpar-
tisan league, just as the Journal
does, supports identically the
same candidates for office in
city, county, state and nation,
urges farmers to plant big crops
and to sell their wheat instead
of holding it. The Tribune's

And F. M Crosby, A. F. Pillsbury and Charles
S. Pillsbury are among the directors of the First

it any wonder that the policies of the Journal and
the Tribune are the same?
SAME CONDITIONS IN OTHER
CITIES OF THE NORTHWEST
But conditions in Minneapolis are no than
in other cities.
The papers Of the Northwest, with few excep@
tions, fall into two main classes, those that
owned outright by the big financial interests, which
maintain these papers, regardless OF expense as
"organs" to influence public opinion, and those pa
pers owned as money-making propositions and
adopting any policy that will please the advertis
ers from whom they get the bulk of their revenue
In the first class fall such papers the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, which has been supported by
railroad and one bank after another, and most
of the Montana dailies, which owned outright
by the Anaconda Copper Mining company or its
subsidiaries
In the second class fall such papers as the st.
Paul Daily News which discharged it's editor after
he had dspleased advertisers, the Seattle Times
the Cowles publications of Spokane and many others

of commerce. the steel trust and the copper trust,

Dor candidates in different states Sometimes they

HERE ARE THE FINANCIAL
INTERESTS BEHIND THE JOURNAL


Let us turn to the last statement of ownership,
management and circulation of the Journal, which
was filed at the postoffce in accordance with law
and published in the Journal Of October Z, 1920
The government requires publications to answer
this question:
seWho are the bondholders, mortgages and other
security holders owning or holding per cent or
more Of the total amount of the bonds, mortgages
and other securities 2"
Answering the question the Journal certified the
following three names:
F. A. Chamberlain, Minneapolis, MINI.
E. w. Decker, Minneapolis Mimi.
E. P. Wells, Minneapolis MINI.
Who are Mr.. Chamberlain, Mr.. Decker and Mr..
Wells?
Mr. Chamberlain is chairman Of the board Of di-
rectors Of the First National bank Of Minneapolis.
AS the Leader pointed out last week, u Of these
directors are nnennbeen nf the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce. and G. T. Jaffray, president Of the

could produce and pay them a high price for it.
That was just last spring The Journal was help
ing out the general chorus of Produce more, it is
the highest form Of patriotism" in practically ev
cry ISSUE
Now there is a different situation. Day after
day the Journal is playing up the falling price Of
wheat and in editorials is urging farmers to sell at
any price they get. 1t is, furthermore, making
the preposterous claim that at present prices
farmers can sell at a profit!
Why was the Minneapolis Journal, last spring,
anxious to have the farmers plant all the wheat
they could possibly plant, and why is it anxious
now to have them sell at a low price?

be, interested in the bankers
business because bankers were
so much interested in the farm
er's business. Let us see if that
same reasoning doesn't apply to
newspapers.
Take, for example, the Min
neapolis Journal. With one pos
sible exception the Journal has
the largest circulation Of any
daily paper published in League
territory. Is the Journal inter-
ested in the farmers Sure, it
is. Hasn't it been advising
farmers, for their own good, to
have nothing to do with the Nom
partisan league?
The Journal, also, has the
same friendly sort of an interest
in the small country papers of
Minnesota and other states as
the $1O0,000,000 First National
bank has in the small country
banks. Last spring there was a
convention of the editors Of Min
nesota country newspapers in
Minneapolis. The Journal gave
them a banquet and provided,
as the chief speaker, Dean
Thatcher Of the farm school Of
the University Of Minnesota.
Dean Thatcher told the country
editors to go home and tell the
farmers to grow more wheat,
