TOBACCO VS.. LIQUOR.

Tobacco smoking is more danger
GUS than alcohol, according to Mrs
Frances Beauchamp, of Lexington,
president OF the w. {. T. u. in Ken
lucky.
If | had to choose between pro-
hibtion of alcohol and prohibition of
tobacco, | would prohibit tobacco
This is most extreme position, as
well as most unreasonable one.
Where one person agrees with Mrs.
Bauchamp there are at least 1000
who disagree with her. The opposi-
ton to liquor which led to prohibition
was the opposition which grew out of
drunkenness. 1t destroyed the bright
est intellectS, but nobody ever heard
OF tobacco destroying intel!ectsri 1t
brought families to the poor house,
but nobody ever heard OF tobacco
bringing familie to the poor house 1t
was responsible for more than half
the homicides committed in The coun-
try, but nobody ever heard of tobacco
causing homicides. Liquor has short
ened the lives of tens OF thousands,
but tobacco has been used by millions
who have lived out the allotted life of
four score years. Tobacco does not
AFFECT the nerves any more than cot
fee nor does it affect the health any
more.
The efficiency of the American En-
peditionary Forces in France was rec
ognlzed by the world and yet nine
tenths OF the boys used tobacco.
Alcohol goes to the head and a man
under the influence of it is hardly re-
sponsible for what he hoes, but tobac-
CO has no such effect
We believe that people are better
off without the use OF tobacco but at
best the only harm that it can do is
to those who use it, and innocent
parties do not suffer like they do from
the use of alcohol
Society, for its own protection, de-
manded prohibition of the sale and
manufacture OF alcoholic beverages,
but there is no more demand for the
adjustment of tobacco than there is
for many other things which might
be considered injurious to health

LATEST DEALS
in REAL ESTATE
Carol and Oelze Sell Out
Their Store. Few Buy Homes
Federal Highway News.

Bud Carter, after living a long time
in rented houses, needed the warning
Better buy and own home" so he
has bought the VIM. Jones property
in the lower part of the city.
When the bluebirds began to sing,
Frank Oelze began to chatter like a
yellow-hammer for he was raised on
a farm and could not resist the call.
So he and his partner, Lawrence Car
rol, both longed to get to the country,
where they could go bare-footed with
an old hickory hat for head cover
ing. Just about this time Claycomb
Bros, of Webster, came along seek
ing a business location and the result
is, Oelze and Carol have sold out
their stock of dry gaads and grocer
les to the Claycomb Bros who will
continue the business at the same old
stand.
Contracts for the building of the
Federal Highway for Breckenridge
and Hancock counties, will be let the
latter part Of February or the first
of March. The contract for the bridge
in Cloverport will be let at the same
time as the road contract.
Some changes have been made in
the first estimate of the federal high
way Instead of a 16 foot road way
with it, dirt bases on each side, the
roadway will now be built % feet
wide with a rock bae from curb to
curb. The estimate cost will be about
thirty thousand dollars to the mile.
On account of the Ohio River and
railroad service, the operative officer
and supplies will be operated out of
Clovrport.
When Bill Jones sold his property
in lower Cloverport, he thought he
could find vacant house any old day.
First day out he did not find any;
2nd day he got scared; 3rd day he got
panic stricken. "A house, house, my
kingdom for a home, seven pool tab
les thrown in," he yelled. Just about
this time Maston Basham came along.
He had house to sell, so Jones has
bought the property known as the
Tom Boiler property in the West
End.
Harrison Gibson has bought the
Jake Weatherholt property out in
Eastland.
Maston Basham has purchased the
Will Perkins property on the Hill.
He recently sold his property in the
lower part of the city.
Newer faces and younger blood,
are fast filling up the city, the public
school in the primary department is
now crowded. 1t looks like more
rooms will have to be provided for
next years school.
Lonnie Ray has traded his property
on the Hill to J. E. Basham for a
farm near Duke, KY. Mr.. Ray will
move on it this year. Basham has
rented his property to Harry Ham
bleton.-E G..

JANUARY Wealth
Err RECORDED MILD
Said to be Mildest Since Winter
of 1890; Tuesday Brings
Cold Snap.

January has been recorded in some
localities in the State, as being the
mildest winter in thirty years. The
lowest temperature recorded was
twenty degrees above on Jan. II. and
there were only three nights when
the thermometer reached the freezing
point The rainfall and SHOWS for the
month have been remarkably small.
During the winter of 1890, the
weather was so mild that fruit trees
were in blossom in some of the neigh
boring counties about here, accord
ing to good authority. Upon the other
hand one of the coolest winters was
in 1917-1s when heavy snowfall and
blizzard started in on Dec. 8, and last
ed several days.
This winter, altho not over yet is
conceded by many weather prophets,
will continue in being a mild one.
Sunday and Monday were ideal
Spring days, but Tuesday brought a
return of winter with cold rain
which froze on the trees.

JUDGE KINCHELOE
REIGNS SUPREME
New County Judge Dispenses
Duties With Ease; Serving
in His First Political Office

Judge A. r. Kincheloe, the new
Judge of Breckenridge county, was
busy in county court, Monday Altho
he has been practicing law for twenty
years, yet this is the first time he has
ever held an office. And he dispenses
with his official duties as wisely, as
efficiently and with as much ease as
if he had been Judge for ten years.
There is always a reason tho. SO
perhaps one of the .reasons for Judge
Kincheloe falling into his duties so
naturally is due to inheritance. His
grandfather the late Jesse w. Kin
cheloe was Judge of the Circuit Court
in Breckenridge county for six years,
and he is said by many of the older
residents OF the county, to have been
one of the best Judges in the State.
Then too, the present Judge is the
son of a farmer. His father is Mr.
Marcus Kincheloe, and A. r., was
born and reared on the farm. He did
not go away from home to seek his
fortune, but after being educated and
admitted to the bar, he hung out his
first single in Hardinsburg and it has
been there these twenty years where
the Judge has served and given of
his best to his own people.
AS the fruit of his labor, he has
been appointed to the highest official
position in the county. Judge Kinche-
loe says he makes it point to at
tend to his official duties first; at the
same time he has time to look after
business in the Circuit Court, to prac-
tice his profession in adjoining coun-
ties and the Court of Appeals
The appointment of Judge Kinche-
loe has the approval of the people
generally
On every hand he has it told to
him that he was the best man that
could have been named for the place

their duties. 1t may be that birth con-
troll is one of the greatest problems that
needs attention, but that may not APP
peal to everybody"
The hearing in Police Headquarters
yesterday was continuation of the in
vestigation into the circumstances sur
rounding the closing OF the Town Hall
meeting on Nov. 13 by Captain Thomas
Donohoe of the West Forty-seventh
street station.
Mrs Sanger was the first witness and

about her arrest in 1915, when she held
a clinic for the poor in Brownsville and
was sentenced to the workhouse for
thirty days. Among the questions asked
by Inspector Lahey was whether the tes-
tlmony given by Mrs. Whitehurst the
complaining police officer to the effect
that contraceptive devices were given
out at that time was true or false. Mrs.
Sanger stated in the presence of Mrs.
Whtehurst that the testimony was false.
Mrs. Rublee occupied the stand Tor
only a few minutes and testified to
having entertained Mrs. Sanger at din
ner on the night of November 13 and
later having driven her to the Town
Hall, which she found closed. She ad-
mitted she had read Section 1142 of the
Penal Code several years ago and had
discussed it with Mrs. Sanger on several
occasions.
At the close Of the hearing, according
to those present, Corporation Counsel
Dolphin stepped forward and warned
none of the witnesses to leave the room.
He then ordered the stenograpner TO
read the official minutes of Mrs. Rub
lees testimony. and after this had been
done he conferred with Chief Inspector
Lahey. 1t was then that the arrest was
made.
Among those who were present at the
hearing and later were spectators at the
court proceeding were Robert McC.

Senator Says Indifference

He Says.

The written message from q Ger
man captain demanding the surrender
of the Lost Battalion is bequeathed. in
the will of Col. Charles w whittlesey
10 his friend and fellow officer in that
ordeal of the Argonne, Capt. George
G. McMurtry of New York.
The will, executed November %,
leaves Col. Whittlesey's medal Of the
Legion Of Honor of France to his ex-
ecutor and college classmate, John b.
Pruyn, lawyer of Rector street. The
rest of the estate. including the Con-
gressional Medal of Honor, goes to the
mother, Mrs. Frank S. whittlesey of
Pittsfield, Mass. The will will not be
filed for probate until next week, but
THE NEW YORK HERALD was informed
of its provisions yesterday.
The message from the German cap
tain is written in good English. Not
until now has the fact that Col. Whit
tlesey preserved it through all his war
experiences and brought it back to
this country been publicly known. 1t
is the message TO which, according to
the story that went around the world,
he returned the reply Go to He'll"
The fact is this newspaper was told
last night by a man who was there that
the message was delivered by an Ameri-
can soldier who had been taken pris-
oner by the Germans and who was sent
back through the American lines blind
folded. He handed the paper to Col
(then Major) Whittlesey. Whittlesey
upon reading 1t, ordered the soldier to
return to his company and put the pa
Der in his pocket. In other words, he
sent no answer at all. but ignored the
message.
Another newly reported fact is that
members of Col. Whittleseys command,
going into Germany with the Army of
Occupation. met there the German cap
tain who had sent the surrender mes
sage. He told them that the German
command was so irritated by the con-
