REDS OUTCLESS "HAS BEENS".
AND WIN Is To- 9.

They cant come back" is an old
proverb in all sportdom.
That it is true one was proven in
the ball game last Friday afternoon
between the old time stars and the
Marion Reds.
The old timers started off like
liberty bond drive though, showing
around three runs in the very first
inning with the aid Of Jimmie Kim
sey, who let couple get through
him during that inning.
But youth will be served. We
youngsters just kept plugging away
and getting run or two at a time
until at the end of the fifth inning
the score was tied five and five.
Then the fireworks began. Twas q
dizzy procession Of uniforms around
the paths.
And Guy Lambs outfield sure
went back on him. There was only
one fly ball caught in the outfield.
and Gearge Gumbert got that one.
There were several Of them dropped,
though.
But these old timers who, in their
day, wre ball players in all that the
word implies, are To be commitments

X KENTUCKY FIFTEENTH
COSTLY STATE

Washington. d. C.--Only fourteen
States paid more for the maintenance
Of general state departments and de
partmental service during 1919 than
did Kentucky. In the burden this
maintenance put ON every person in
the various states, Kentucky remained
thirty first.
In comparison with total payments
and the cost to every person, it is
recalled that in the 1919 census Ken
tucky ranked sixteenth in population.
The cost Of maintenance Of the
department in Kentucky was Sill
1877, 1888, the cost per capita being
$4.63. Total payments under this
heading was for the following pur-
poses:
General governmental costs which
includes the various executive and
judicial branches; protection TO per-
son and property, which includes
militia armories; general regulation
and other similar expenses; devel-
opment and conservtion of natural
resources which includes agriculture
and other developments; the conser-
vation Of health and sanitation, which
includes the prevention and treat
ment Of all communicable diseases
and other similar expenses, the cost
of highways, charities, hospitals,
corrections, schools, libraries, recrea.
tions and general expenses.
In Kentucky. as in most Of the
other states, the greater part Of the
governmental cost was made up of
the general expenses of the depart
ments, the highway cost, the cost Of
charities and corrections and the cost
of schools, In Kentucky these four
items caused total expense Of 49,
5lS,920, or approximately all but
S2,00O,000 of the total cost.
The costs of the departments was
81 300 1888; highway Sl,SSs,20 char
tiles and corrections, S2,lS6,995, and
other schools S4,659,637.
The cost Of maintainence Of the
purity and judicial branches cannot
be compared today with that in any
other state. The comparisons Of
the other governmental cost will be
possible later through figures sup
piled the financial division of the
census bureau.
Under subdivision costs is included
the following divisional costs:
Legislature and Legislative inves-
legations, chief executive secretary
Of state, auditor, accounting and tres.
urer. assessments and levying Of rev.
enue and other financial items. at.
torney general and other law offices

BIGGEST SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN
IN HISTORY OF WEST KENTUCKY

In during the opening period will
averge over three times as many
votes as will be allowed during the
closing period Of the campaign. Thus
one year subscription which aver
ages $1,000 votes during the open
ing period only counts 5000 votes
during the last week of the campaign.
II is easily seen therefore, just how
important it is that nominations
should reach this Office at once, 80
that no time will be lost in getting
started
RULES TO BE ADHERED TO
Prospective candidates should not
confuse this mammoth contest with
some OF the smaller campaigns which

tised will be given TO the winners,
regardless Of the number Of sub.
scriptions. turned in. Precautions
have been taken SO that the cam
paign will be fair and square TO all
contestants alike and no favorltlsm
can be shown. As an extra precau-
ton the management allows more
Noies on subscriptions turned in
during the opening Of the campaign
and during the closing period, a bal
lot box will he installed in the bank
and all subscriptions taken will be-
placed In this sealed box, not
TO be- opened until after the judges
have declared the campaign closed.
In this way, no one, the Publishers,
the contest manager, nor anyone else
will know the number of votes any
candidate has. thus assuring fair
play. ANY lady who does not thor
oughly understand these rules and
are holding back, comparing this
campaign with some Of the Others

Nor has he, save in the matter Of
military preparation, given much
evidence of Rooseveltion progr9a-

Still the legatee claim might hold
very well if there were no other Re.

there is, and that man is Hiram

Johnson was considerably closer
politically to Colonel Roosevelt
than General Wood ever was. He
was the coloners running-mate On
the presidential ticket in 1912, and
he endorsed his former chiefs Sc
ces5ion from the Moose in, 1916. On
January 10 Of that year, Roosevelt
wrote Of him: "Of all public men in
this country he is the one with
whom l find myself in complete
sympathy" And Wood was certain
~ public man then.

am would seem to have the most
impressive claims thereto.-Bsston

and thus while the political proph.

A CHECK FOR
JOUR OVERDRAFT

One of the classic jokes among
bankers is that Of the young woman
who offered a check in payment Of
her overdraft.
Yet Mr.. McAdoo's suggestion of
meeting our deficit by issuing more
bonds Is about on a par with it.
The former secretary Of the trea'
sury complains that taxes are too
high; that they are sitting business
and must be reduced His solution
is to issue S1,000,000,000 in bonds
and reduce taxes by that much.
The only good feature connected
with the suggestion is that no
body seems to be taking it serious
ly. The government doesn't need
more bonds, but some Of the good
old-fashioned economy it is preach
inng to Its citizens Several years ago
before the war, Senator Aldrilh
said that an efficient business man
could save the government 100000
900 a year and not reduce its etlt
cheney If that was true then, the
sum could be quadIupled now
What We need at Washington is the
biggest six-cylinder business eXecu-
tive the nation can boast, and he
should have carte blanche to clear
away the dead wood and eliminate
the waste. Every break like that o.
McAdoo's helps to make converts
TO this idea, SO it Is to be hoped he
will continue such suggestions dur
ing the next few months.-Fargo

AS TO
GEN ERAL WOOD

Admitting, purely for the sake of
argument, that the Republicans can
elect our next presdent-which, by
the way, We do not admit-the one
best bet seems to be that General
Leonard Wood will not be the man,
\ party forced into selecting such
a standard bearer as the general
would be hard up indeed for presl.
Dental material. A man without
personality, or marked ability, a mil
itary accident, who owes his past,
his present and his future to the
friendship of Colonel Roosevelt.
Leonard Wood is not a political
giant. For the good Of democracy
and the Democratic party let us
hope that he will be the republican
choice, for the chance seems good
that he, like Judge Alton 3. Park
En- would be defeated "by acclama--
