ERS0NAL KIHDLMESS SIDE OF
PRESIDENT HARDING

Two items in the days news re-
feet personal characteristics of the
President which are important to his
effectiveness in office. They reveal
a personal kindliness and sympathy
which sometimes are worth more to
public men In gaining their political
ends than high intellectually or
mastery diction. Mr.. Harding, be-
fore he left Washington, subscribed
$1,000 of a $4,000 fund being raised
in Marion, Ohio, for the Salvation
Army, and he found them in New
York to make an address to the blind
children at the Light House, so beau
tifully named.
The President Is by nature kind
sympathetic, and these two acts are
true to his personality. Out of that
kindness was born a phrase in his
speech to the blind children that will
rank as among the finest that has
ever come from a man in his position.
81 would like to make you under
stand by my voice." he said, chow
deeply I want to bring some light in
your hearts . in COM
pensation for the loss of the great
light. If there Is anything I can do
to set aglow a fame in the soul that
is denied the light, God helping me,
mean to do it."
Those are noble words, and their
little candle has sent its beams deep
into the darkness.

The man shortage, due to the hor-
rible slaughter of the World War,
led President Lewis, of, the United
Mine Workers to say in Indianapolis:
IF we licked the Germans, the
world was to be better place to
live in, but it seems to become a
worse place every day. -r.
Take the shortage of young men
and the young men that are left
can't marry on account of the prof.
teer. Why millions of pretty girls
all over the world are never going
to get married.! s ---s-.,--,
"A crowd of pretty girls were TAX
ing tea the. other afternoon when a
rag man passed. ~~
= "'Old rags% he yelled, "Old rags,
old bones, old iron!' ---
And then, as he trudged slowly
along the street, he yelled again:
"'Old copper! Old tint, Old bot
ties! Old, papers! Old shoes!. c.

Thirty-six newspaper publishers
from various parts of the United
States organized the Association Of
Open Shop Publishers of America in
New York City to establish the prin-
ciple of the open shop and maintain
the freedom of the press Aleady
there are independents In the print
ing trade about three to one, and
while they have yielded to the insults
of the union for years and that with
out word of resentment they have
risen to that point where liberation
is no longer a virtue and the "cab"
epithet will no longer be endured.
The independent publishers and the
independent printer will join hands,
making an irresistible cotinuous
force and when the organization has
become national labor will have a
value according to earning capacity.
Only this is just.

RED CROSS SOUNDS A WARNING


The Lake Division Of the American
Red Cross has sent to the local chap
ter circular concerning a woman
representing herself to be a Red
Cross nurse, who has been visiting
homes in the district, on the pretext
of making a sanitary survey of the
premises, and has asked for and been
receiving signatures of housewives TO
what she claimed was a report. 1t
later developed that this report was
an order for books, and that a visitor
called later requesting the payment
of bill for $25.
The woman has not appeared in
this vicinity yet, but should she do so
she will be taken care of by the local
Chapter.

The screen version of a story by
John Fox, Jr., should play its part in
arousing the strong, but latent State
pride in the old Kentucky home. The
Fox play presents Kentucky in a way
to excite feelings ordinarily dormant
In the breast of the Kentuckian,
busily engaged in affairs of seemingly
more pressing concern. There is a
distinction and dignity in the story
not confined to the perturbation of
the Bluegrass and the Capitol. The
innate nobility of the blood of the
true Kentuckian is brought out in
the cabin on the hillside as force
fully as in the HANDICAPPED gardens
of the rich.
Too little has been known of the
original of my Old Kentucky
Home" The recent republication of
Young e. Allison's notable sketch
Of the Rowans in whose house of hos
pitality Stephen Collins Foster was
inspired to write the immortal mel
ody, must have force in bringing
Kentucky people to realization of
what Kentucky meant, in honor,
chivalry, and accomplishment to
those who were Kentuckians when
the foundations of to-day's rich her.
itage were laid. 1t cost something
to be a Kentuckian in those days.
State pride was built on Arm deter
mination to uphold State tradition at
any sacrifice, life itself being held
lightly in the balance against the
things that made life precious.
To-day the claim of being Ken
tuckian falls glibly from the lips.
The duelling days are over and the
fruit of the early planting is gather
ed in comparative ease. The test Of
State pride is not so great test
now, for it is merely call upon all
real Kentuckians to pay tribute to
the memory of one who put Ken
lucky and the Kentucky home into
the hearts of millions who must envy
the sons and daughters of favored
land. To pay homage properly will
require a little sacrifice in money,
but it is worth a great deal to sub
scribe-as a Kentuckian.

Neck Broken by Wagon.

A wagon wheel rolled over
Casper Hinson's neck, in Wolf
Pit township, Wednesday after
noon, breaking it and instantly
killing him. Hinson, who is II
years old and a son of of Mr..
Charlie Hinson, was driving a
pair of mules to a wide tire
wagon in the woods near the old
Hamilton saw.mill; he had half a
load on, and was driving down
an incline. Either a limb struck
him, or he slipped; at any rate,
he fell to the ground in front of
the wagon, and a wheel rolled
directly across his neck, death
resulting instantly.
The young man was buried at
Mizpah this Thursday after
noon.
