We have as much right as any .of
the small fry" to attempt to account
for the cause or causes Of the late
Republican Avalanche which covered
even Tennessee under the debris
SO here goes:
In the first place, while it was the
concensus of opinion. among Ameri-
can statesmen, regardless Of party,
that it was necessary for the United
States to go into war, with the regret
that 1t was not sooner done and that
we were not better prepared, that
conviction never reached the people
and they resented it.
War having deem declared, it was
soon seen that an army must be rails
ed and the navy built ND to the most
efficient standard possible in the
short time allowed, SO conscription
was resorted to as the only means to
accomplish the end necessary-and
the people resented it.
War having been declared and the
manner of raising the army fixed up
on, some means of financing the most
colossal task attempted in the his
tory of the world, must be discovered
and the issuance of Liberty bonds,
the sale of war stamps and other
means by which the government de-
manded money at a fairly liberal rate
of interest, was found to be the only
way to get that money and make the
people secure in repayment; so that,
the only imaginable method was re-
sorted to---and the people from the
great financers down to the little fell
low who was practically made to dis
gorge-resented it.
Germany had practically brought
the entete in Europe to its knees, bled
white and but for this country going
to the rescue, Germany would have
accomplished what it set out to do,
dominated the earth and every nation
in it--but the fact had not reached
the American people; so full Of re-
sentiment against the administration,
which had been backed by an almost
solid Republican phalanx Of Repub-
hcan statesmen, the people bided
their time and when the opportunity
came they did not hesitate to wreak
their vengence. With the spirit in
the country, it is only a wonder that
the sweep was not clean one ''from
New York to the Golden gate and
from "Maine to Mexico"
It is generally estimated that moth
ing on earth except eonscription
could have gotten fifty soldiers out of
Henderson county-and that shows
the real condition of the county. RE-
CARELESS OF THE SINKING OF
THE LUSITANIA AND THE AC-
COMPANYING MURDER OF HUN
DREDS OF AMERICAN MEN AND
WOMEN AND CHILDREN, the peo-
pie did not want war-and in this
late election they gave further evil
dence that they want no war for any
prrrose short Of the invasion Of this !

Sheriff w. r. Wright, with ProhibI

Sheriff ". r. Wright, with Prohibi-
bition Agents Demming, oneal and
Conner, last Saturday just afternoon
brought to Lexington the worm Of a
00-gallon capacity wildcat still found
and destroyed that morning on the
place Of Will Allen, in the old 18th
district, H. F. Atkinson, who was cap
ured in the raid, was brought along,
waived examination on preliminary
hearing before Commissioner P. 0.
Roberts, and in default of bond in the
sum of $1,000, required for his APP
pearance at Federal court, was COM
mitted to Jail. The worm was a big
one and was viewed by many who
said it was the first they had seen.
We hope to see the day when every
one of these foul factories of stuff
that destroys alike the bodies and
souls of men shall have been driven
from the land.

CONSIDERABLE SUNDAY
HAUL BY PRoHIS.

Sheriff Wright, Deputy Smith; with
Federal Prohibition Agents Vannatta
and Keller, last Sunday made another
Wildcat haul in the country about
five miles East Of Wildersville,
when they got sixty-gallon capac-
ity still and arrested George Webb,
Martin Myracle and Albert Hodge,
white, and Bill Adams and Dewey
Gooch, negroes. The white men gave
temporary bond, but the negroes went
to Jail until Monday, when they were
given preliminary hearing before
Commissioner P. o. Roberts. The
white men and one of the negroes
gave bond Monday in the sum of
81 1000 each for appearance at Federal
court, but Bill Adams, the other ne
gro, failing on bond, was remanded
to Jail. The negro feature of this
case is unusual, most Of the illicit
whisky business having drifted into
the hands Of the whites.
L. L. Allen was arrested in the
same section last Monday and
brought in before Commissioner Rob-
erts Tuesday morning. The officers
are said to have found the distillery
furnace and about $50 gallons Of beer,
but no worm or the balance Of the
equipment. Allen waved examination
and gave the usual bond for appear
ance at the Federal court.

SENATORS SCORE HERBERT
HOOVER FINANCIAL PLANK

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Dis
cussion of Herbert Hoover's candi
dacy as a Republican broke out II
the Senate today.
Senator McKellar, Tennessee, {
Democrat, called attention to Hoov
er's statement in his telegram to his
California frineds, that the Republic
an platform must be sound on the
economic issues.
"I want to read a recent remark
able pronouncement of Hoover's or
economic questions in the light of that
statement" said Mr.. Mcclellan. He
read from an account of Mr.. Hoover
er's recent speech before the Boston
chamber of commerce ond declar-
ed nobody could understand what Mr.
Hoover meant in his references in
that speech on economic questions.
"Mr. Hoover wants some kind OF
an economic plank in his platform
but / challenge any senator or any
body else to tell me what he means"

Socialist Leaders Send
Ultimatium to Government

BERLIN, March 31.-Leaders of
the three Socialist parties here have
sent an ultimatum to the government
requesting that it respect the Dele
field committee and Immediately sus-
pend all military measures in the
Ruhr valley. The government is to
be given until 8 o'clock Thursday af-
ternoon to accept or reject this de-
mand. Should it be rejected an i'm
mediate proclamation of a general
strike will follow, Chairman Mueller
was informed by a socialist delega-
ton.
The executive council of workers
in the Ruhr district at the last m
ute accepted some notifications of
the governments ultimation, accord

said Mr.. Mcclellan. AI'm sorry he's
over 25; if he were younger, he
could compete for Will Hays $4,000
prize for a Republican platform
This plank he enuneiated at Boston
certainly ought to be accepted by
the Republicans, but nobody can tell
what it means.
Senator, Brandegee, Connecticut,
Republican, said that if Mr.. Hoover
made statements that could be under
stood, "his utility as a political spell
binder to fool the gulls would be
gone"
am surprised to learn that
Boston, the seat of learning should
accept this non-understandable stuff
with such enthusiasm as we are told
of in accounts of the spech," said
Mr.. Mcclellan.
Perhaps Boston liked it because
it couldn't understand it." replied
Senator Brandegee.
Senator Gronna asked Senator Nc
Kellar if he wasn't jealous because
his party couldn't get Mr.. Hoover. as
candidate.
Senator Thomas, Colorado, Demo:
crat, said that if Mr.. Hoover is max
ing statements nobody can under
stand, he will be a formidable cam
didate for both nominations.
"On the theory that the American
people like to be humbugged, that is
true" said Senator Mcclellan.
Senator Gronna said he wanted to
"recall what happened during the
war when Hoover was able to charm
senators with just such phases as he
is now using. Those phases cost
the American wheat farmer two bill
ion dollars"
Senator Ashurst Arizona a Demo-
crat took Senator McKellar to task
for assailing Mr.. Hoover.
"Of course politicians can't under
stand Mr.. Hoover's language" said
Senator Ashurst, 'but the American
people will understand him, and the
senator will point with pride in the
ides of November to the fact that
Democrats supported Mr.. Hoover"
