GYPSY SMITH FAVORS LEAGUE

A profound impression was Gre
ated in Louisville when Gypsy Smith,
the famous English Evangelist, who
is conducting a revival in Louis
vile, declared in favor of the League
of Nations.
eff the League of Nations" he
sadi, prevents one war, it proves
its right to existence. No man can be
a follower of Jesus Christ and not
be lover Of peace and a propa-
gandist for peace. He was the Prince
Of Peace, the author of peace and
the bringer of peace, and just in pro-
portion as we are faithful to Him
and the great principles for which
He died we shall do all in our power
to promote the peace of the world.
"Any association or league which
helps to bring about the napmony
and the brotherhood of nations is in
line with the Divine will. And some
where back of my mind and deeply
rooted in my heart is the feeling that
the divine father is looking to the
great English-speaking races of
America and England, to bring the
reign of universal peace.
"What an ideal for US to strive
after! Along that road lies peace to
the world, glory to God anu good
will among men,"
Mr.. Smith, who has recently ar
rived from England, says that the
English people want the League Of
Nations.

Democratic Speaking

Congressman J. B. Aswell, of
Louisiana, addressed a good crowd
at the courthouse in this city Tues
day night in the interest of the
Democratic ticket. He was intro
duced by Judge f. W. Senff and
made a pleasing address to his hear
ers, bringing out the important is
sues Of the present campaign and
convincing all that after all, the
Democratic party is not what the
o-called Republican orators would
have them believe. The blunders Of
Warren G. Harding were brought to
the front in way that made for
the merriment of many and showed
plainly his incompetency for the Of
flee to which he aspires.

N. Fl. Trimble has returned from

T. B. Threlkeld. Mr.. Trimble says
the people are deeply in sympathy
with Professor Threlkeld and fam
lily. He learned that after Profess
sor Threlkeld and son had gotten
into the office of Denman Bros, an
employee was sent out of the room,
the door locked, when the alterca-
ton between Logan Threlkeld, son
Of Professor Threlkeld and the
Denmans' took place. Professor
Threlkeld attempted TO ger out Of
the place, bnt finding himself locked
in, fired the fatal shot.

make it Holy Covenant
Crusade" Says Senator

make it holy covenant crusade
from now until the end; other issues
can wait for two years." Charles A.
Towne, former Republican United
States Senator from Minnesota, has
wired to Governor James M. Cox.
The message, sent by Senator Towne
from Tucson, Ariz., where he is
seeking a return of health, read:
Nothing can picture my unnap-
piness that illness should keep me
silent in this most significant cam
paign of our history.
'Let me advise one thing with all
my soul. Henceforth concentrate on
the covenant. I mean not relatively,
but absolutely. Mention nothing else.
Make it holy covenant crusade to
the end. Other issues can wait two
years. This has waited twenty GEN.
turtles and if we fail in our duty
now, God alone can measure the Co.'S
mic epoch of recurrence.
"For two thousand years Chris
tians have made a mockery of the
first and most inclusive tenet in their
faith. For two thousand years a civ
ilization blasphemously calling itself
Christian has been perfecting the
machinery by which death might be
brought quickest to the vastest num-
Der of men and the surest destrue-
ton made of the highest available of
labor sacrifices.
"In the face of the great war and
its effects no public action not aimed
at the consummation of peace has
any sanction, human or divine, until
that be accomplished. All else is
sacrilege.
'The prophetic hymn of that fair
Bethlehem night must become the
triumphant chorus of a contrite
world. The United States can COM
plete that harmony now.
"God has waited for the hour. He
waits for us. We must not, dare not,
fail"

TRAVELLING MEN FAVOR

Travelling men Of Eastern Ken
trcky met at Ashland and formed a
Cox Commercial Travellers Club last
week. E. Fl. Phipps was elected
chairman, W. H. Caudill, secretary
and treasurer. The club will back the
candidacy Of Cox and Roosevelt,
Senator J. C. W. Beckham and w.
J. Fields for Ninth District Con-
gresham. The club passed resolu-
tons scoring scurrilous Republican
literature attempting to mislead the
travelling statesmen, which literature
they stated has been proven false to
their satisfaction.

A Worthy Contribution

Roscoe Gilmore Stott, clever
prose composer in the November
Green Book gives a story free from
fancy, concerning the life work of
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart. 1t tells
OF her early impressions how to
make happy her own people of the
Cumberland foothills, and the idea
that pressed hard on her to teach
the old as well as the young the
fundamental principles of a common
school education, so that from their
own efforts these people may climb
high and delve deep in learning what
the world is made of and its agrees
siveness. The writer had fine sub
ject and the story is most inter-
esting one. We know Mrs. Stewart
and are proud that we had the OPP
portunity and did contribute, though
in a small way, in assisting her to
attain to the goal of her personal
ambition, superintendent of schools.
The story of this woman, famous by
her own efforts, as published in the
Green Book, amply pays the cost.

TRAINED NURSES

The National and State Boards Of
Health are urging the Importance Of
healthy young women taking adj
vantage of present opportunities to
become trained ndrses. No more ad-
mirable and lucrative professions
are open to women. Girls having
finished one year Of high school are
eligible. The pressing need of Amer
lea is great. The usual epidemics,
and possibility Of others, and the
great endeavor Of our people to
reach and maintain better and higher
standards of health for the entire
nation, causes this new demand for
nurses. Those willing to avail them
selves of this opportunity can write
to DR.. A. T. Mccormack, State
Board of Health Building, Louisville,
KY. The advantages are excellent,
the training giving almost Univer-
sity course, the pay most desirable,
the position secured and the work
fine and needed.

Manufacturers Cut
Tire Prices 70 Per Cent

Since the recent cut in prices of
automobiles we have heard on every
hand the question Of whether tires,
gasoline and other lines Of merchan-
disc would follow. Mr.. Henry Ford
said that the time for high prices
was at an end and it seems that he
was right. Particularly in the tire
field has there been much specula-
ton for dealers on every hand have
been selling tires at reduction, but
the first announcement of a manu-
lecturers reduction was made last
week when the Lee Tire & Rubber
Company Of Conshocken, Pa, made
flat reduction Of from Is to 20 per
cent on their complete line. This
company is best known for their line
Of Puncture- Proof Tires, but also
manufacture cord and fabric tires
in all sizes. There has been a fall
ing off of sales in the automobile
line all over the country, everyone
waiting for the reduction they felt
must come, but with the return Of
normal prices business will neces-
sarily be stimulated.

G. O. P. Blamed for
High Sugar Prices

In speech made yesterday before
= large crowd of Henderson county
voters, Congressman David H. Kin
cheloe explained how the dilly daily
ing Of the Republican Congress was
responsible for thirty cent sugar in
his county. Had the Congress ac-
cepted President Wilson's recon-
mendation promptly sugar would
have been saved to American pur-'
chasers. In part the Congressman
explained the situation as follows;
ssThe Lever Food Control Act,
which was passed by a Democratic
Congress during the war, under
which the sugar corporation oper-
ated, contained provision ending
the existence Of the corporation
when the armistice was signed.
"This sugar corporation bought
the Cuban sugar crop of 1918, which
was sold to American people at IL
and IL cents per pound. The Pres
ident, in a message to the Republic
can Congress on the 9th Of August,
1919, called attention to the fact
that the sugar corporation had
ceased to function and urged this
Republican Congress to pass an act
Immediately extending the powers OF
this sugar corporation. Hearings
xwere conducted before committee
of the Senate having charge Of this
legislation and members of the orig
inai sugar corporation appeared be-
fore this committee and testified
that they had no further powers
under the original act by reason of
the cessation of the war. Notwith-
standing these representations BY
the President in his message, and the
members of the sugar corporation,
the Senate failed to pass the law
extending the life of this corporation
until December /, 1919. The Re-
publican House did not pass it until
December 16, 1919, and the House
added amendments to the Senate
bill, which threw it into conference.
The conference report was not
adopted until the 2sth day of De-
cember, 1919, and the bill did not
become law until December 81,
1919.
Many weeks before that all of the
Cuban sugar had been sold to Eng
4and and other countries and there
fore the act was of no service to the
American people. If this Republican
Congress had passed the act dmme-
diately after the President had
called its attention to the fact in his
special message, the sugar corpora
ton would have Immediately bought
the Cuban sugar crop at the same
price it paid for it in 1918, and
therefore the American people
would have purchased sugar as
cheaply in 1920 as they did in the
year Of 1919"
