Louisville Hospital

Mrs. Asa Kidd, of Winchester,
died at the st. Joseph Hospital in
Louisville this morning following an
operation last Thursday. The OPP
GRAFTON was at first thought to be
successful, but on Saturday night
Mrs. Kidd began to grow worse and
her father, Rufus MADDEN, of this
city, and other relatives were sum-
moned to her bedside. She was a
lifelong member of the Christian
church and a lovely Christian wom-
an, possessing a faculty for making
friends which had endeared her TO
all with whom she came in contact.
Besides her father and husband. she
is survived by three children, Har-
old, Olivia, and Clarence LeBus She
is also survived by one sister. Mrs.
II. B. Turner, of this city, and six
brothers, Harry, of this county, and
Charley, Ollie, Clarence, Kenney and

related here where the news of the
death of this noble woman will be
received with much sorrow. The
funeral arrangements have not as
yet been made but will likely be held

Democrats Meet
at San Francisco

The Democratic National Conven-
ton was called to order in San
Francisco Monday Homer s. Cum
mings, chairman of the National
Committee, addressed the conven-
ton, and praised resident Wilson
and the achievements of the admin
istration. He presented the Presi-
dents views to the convention and
showed conclusively that in the
Presidents mind the League Of Ma
tions is the paramount issue. Later
painting of the President was un-
yelled and the convention roared it's
tribute to Woodrow Wilson. McAdoo
seems to have the best chance to
land the nomination, and it is stated
that he is gaining steadily in spite
of the fact that he has announced
he would not allow his name to go
before the convention as a candi-
date. However, the selection of
leader will not come before the con-
vention until after a platform has
been written and adopted, which
will take several days. The admin
istration forces appear to be in COM
plete control of the convention and
it seems certain the wishes of Pres
ident Wilson will be carried out.

BETTER CAR SERVICE
Is Assured Hamilton in The

This Comes From Receiver

Appearances are very bright for bet
ter car service in the very near future
for Hamilton. In fact it is assured.
This assurance was given the Press
by Mr.. George P, Sohngen, receiver
for the street car company, and Mr..

the road under the receiver. Both
gentlemen called at the Press office
to give his assurance. Mr.. Sohngen
of course will have to first familiar
ize himself with the conditions of the
road.
Both Mr. Sohngen and Mr.. Acker-
ma, however, give the assurance thai
before next spring Hamilton will have
the best street car service it has en-
joyed for many years. Mr. Alderman
says that while there are only six
teen cars available for use at the pres
ent time, that there would be twenty
Of them by spring. Some of these cars
will be new ones.
This S good news for Hamilton,
but is is only what is expected with
the company's affairs under Mr. Sohn-
gems control 1t has also been known
for long that the delapidated equip
ment ana condition of the road was
in no way the fault of Mr.. Ackerman

of Mt. Pleasant avenue whenever the
city got ready for this improvement.

MEN
WILL FIGHT
Isn't Natural to Look Quiet
ly on Heaps of Plenty
With Empty Stomach,
Says Labor Editor

San Francisco.-St Starving men will
fight, writes Paul Scharrenberg, editor
of the Seamen's Journal, in discus
sion of the recent Italian industrial
upheaval that resulted in workers
seizing factories The editor is a
member of the seamen's Union, and
was a delegate to the world confer
ence of seamen, held in Italy a few
months ago
"When masses are starving" says
the labor editor, ct is comparatively
easy to arouse bitterness and resent
ment because a few live in idleness
and plenty
This is not typical Of Italy and it
is not simply an after-war psycholo
gy. It is the psychology that would
exist right here in America if we
were facing famine Men who have
for over four years been fighting des-
perateIy in the trenches returned as
poverty-stricken heroes to find their
loved ones literally starving to death
Their state Of mind is about like
this. We have been at the front and
fought battles never before equaled
in the history of the world; we have
fought to protect you and your prop
erty, and now that we are home again
do you expect US to starve to death
while you live like swine at the
trough?
And with a rage that is indescrib-
able they are turning upon all who
stand for the existing order of things.
The great mass of the soldiers of Italy
have not read Marx, nor have they
suddenly become constructive social
lists. Some have become destructiv-
lists and divisionists; others, perhaps
unconsciously, instructive socialists.
However, they would not have become
either the one or the other in such
vast numbers if food were not lacking
But as a state bordering on famine
exists, they declare that nothing is too
good for those who have fought and
labored, and they are now taking by
force, food and other property.
1--WE may call this state of mind
anything we please, socialism, anarch-
ism, or bolshevism. That is Of little
importance-the next stage, if indus
try remains paralyzed, may be canni-
balism; but the vital matter is that
this state of mind exists and that il
will not change SO long as economic
conditions in Italy remain substan-
TALLY what they are and have been
since the signing of the armistice.' .

to continue the course it has taken for
many years. But if the prices of
farm products fall and the prices of
other things remain high, the farmer
will be compelled to reorganize his
business on more self-sacrifcing
basis, produce more largely to satisfy
his own wants, and give less attention
to production for the market. This
would result in a decline in the COM
mercial supply of farm products.
American farmers are steady
minded people, and they would not
precipitate the nation into such a
course from base motives. However,
if the rest of the nation fails to ap-
preciate the necessity of farm prices
having a satisfactory ratio to other
prices, farmers may be forced to re-
trench to save their homes and pro
tect their families"

FARMERS BURN
CORN
Find 1t Cheaper Fuel Than
Coal

Washington burning of corn
for fuel, however deplorable, may al
ways be expected when the price of
corn goes so low that it will not buy
its equivalent in commercial fuel, ac-
cording to DR.. H. c. Taylor, of the
department of agriculture. Comment
ing upon reports that middle west
farmers threaten to burn corn, be-
cause at present prices it is cheaper
for fuel than coal, he said:
Farmers will not burn corn instead
of coal unless they are driven to it
by economic necessity. If the prices
of farm products are adjusted to pre-
war levels no more rapidly than are
the prices of things the farmer must
buy, agriculture can be counted upon
