QUESTIONS of formal party organization aF

QUESTIONS of formal party organization APP
pcared in the news again this week after a
Observation-Disclosures vacation.
Republicans have selected a committee 10 give
particular attention to the perennial scandal of the
misrepresentation Of the South in party councils.
Democrats selected an Executive Committee
from the National Committee
Strange as ii may SEEM the winning party IS
planning for reorganization, and the losing party is
merely striving 10 focus its party activities.
But The two manifestations are not unreasonable.
Certainly the Republican Party needs reform in
other matters than in Black and Tan delegates. 1t
needs TO work out policy. 1t can no longer hope
to drift successfully on the sole policy of negaton
of Wisconsin which ruIed it during. the last cam
paign. Republican leaders must work out pro-
granme that will justify its success or it faces re-
action and defeat two years hence. This in itself
is task far greater than the winning Of the last
election
Democrats, on the other hand, have no cause to
be downheaHed. An intelligent focusing of activity
along the liberal and progressive lines that won in
1852 and 1916 is all that will be required to ener-
gze the party and make it an active factor in the
Congressional campaign of 1922. The proper
manner in which to focus Democratic effort is
through constructive opposition in Congress.
The mere fact that the Republicans won on
campaign Of negaton makes the task of the Demo-
Gratis easier.

Government has been too lenient TO

To the Editor OF The Evening World:
I have read with the greatest of
pleasure the many letters and editor
ials that have appeared in your pa
per lately on the liquor question.
1t is certainly a shame that the re-
formers have taken our liberty away
from US 1t is next to impossible for me
to get a decent drink now, whereas
three years ago could get all
wanted to drink, and many a night
have staggered home 50 drunk that

times l did not get home, but slept 1t
off in the park or in some doorway,
for, OF course, the saloonkeepers
could not let me stay in the saloon
IN a on-spending drunken stupor.
Those were the good old days, and
the salOOnkeepers, bartenders, &C,
should organize and write editorials
for the papers, together with letters
TO their representatives in Congress
go that we can regain our freedom.
Why, under the present state Of af-
fairs I am actually saving money,
and my family has food to eat and
clothes to wear, but what is that
compared to my freedom? it, c.

Big Fire Raging
In Heart Of Lexington

The costlest. fire Lexington has
ever known is now raging in that
city, one whole block on Main street
is being consumed by the flames.
The business houses of the Kauf-
man Clothing Company, J. d. Pur-
cell Company, LowenthalPs, Van
Deren's, E. L. March Furniture
Store, Brewers and others are the
ones most damaged, Kaufman's,
Wolf Wiles' and The Peerless being
total losses. The loss so far is es-
timated to be considerably over
100000, and the flames not under
control as we go to press. The fire
started in the basement Of Wolf
Vile about ten o'clock this morning
and practically all Of Lexington's
fire department is on the scene and
fighting the flames in an effort to
prevent further spread.

and manufacturers is 342,000,000
pounds, and the 3Oo,Ooo,OOo crop Of
1920 gives supply Of hurley un-
approached in volume in recent
years, the Congressman declared.
BY far the most important factor
in the situation, and one heretofore
unemphasized, Representative Can
trill brought out, is the collapse of
the world tobacco market. Europe
has not ,aoney to buy food for her
starving millions, he asserted, and
it is ont Of the question to expect it
to buy our tobacco, when at the
present rate Of exchange 5 cent TO-
bacco in the United SStates would
cost the Italian 30 cents pound,
and the German 81 a pound.
The warning millions created an
unparalleled and unreasonable de-
mand for hurley tobacco, the Con-
gresham stated, because tobacco
was an integral part of the ration of
every soldier, and European nations
taxed their peoples to exhaustion to
buy tobacco, among other things, at
unheard Of prices.
Wheat, cotton, corn and all other
farm products which are important
sources Of revenue to American far
mers, have slumped in price from so
to 60 per cent and more in recent
months, the speaker reminded his
auditors, but the Blue Grass, speak
ing generally, has a monopoly on the
production Of hurley tobacco that
no other country or section has ever
been able to contest. The situation
in tobacco and in other farm prod
ucts is vastly different, he assert,
ed, and the manufacturers are able
to pay price nearer to the cost Of
production and fairer to hurley pro
ducers than buyers Of the 'Big
Four offered il opening sales here
and in ether hurley markets, he said.

Cantrill Urges q
9O-Day Cutout


Facts and figures heretofore un-
known to lie public were offered as
evidence that the only salvation CT
100000 hurley tobacco producers Of
Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio is an
absolute cutout Of the 1920 crop for
at least 80 days, by Congressman
James Campbell Cantrill in an adj
dress before 1000 Central Kentucky
growers, warehousemen, bankers and
merchants in Woodland Park Audi
forum yesterday afternoon at Lex
ington.
Declaring that he had absolute
knowledge that the manufacturers
intend to buy only one-half Of the
1920 crop Of 925, 900, 900 pounds and
force the growers to- hold the re-
mainder until next season, the Con-
gresham advised the growers to
hold the entire crop in bonded ware
houses until April To-, dispose Of
half Of the leaf at that time; cut
out the 1921 crop and hold the re-
manning half Of the 1920 crop until
December.
A total Of 642,O00,O00 pounds Of
hurley tobacco, two years. supply, is
now being held by manufacturers,
warehousemen and growers, Con-
gresham Cantrill asserted. Sworn
statements made to the government
by manufacturers in compliance
with the provisions of the Cantrill
Law Of 1913, showed that on Octo-
Der /, 1920, forty million more
pounds Of hurley were held by man
ufacturers than ever had been held
by them on any preceding October
First, since the law has been in
force.
approximately 75,000,000 pounds
of the 1919 crop is held by dealers.

Only $712,373 Of
Federal Aid Taken

There will be no federal appro-
priation for road building at the
present session of Congr ass, and in
all probability there will lie none dur
ing next Congress, unless the states
are more active than they have been
in recent years in utilizing federal
aid.
But this will make little difference
to the State of Kentucky, for $4,-
657, SOL is already available out of
former appropriations for federal
assistance in the construction of
state roads in this state. Out of a
total of $5,37O,6O4 apportioned to
Kentucky only $712,373 has been
actually expended so far.
Since Congress provided for aid
to the states in the construction of
improved roads, the. total appro-
priations made for this purpose ag-
gregate $266,75O,OOo. Up to Novem-
Der 80, last, the amount actually
paid out on this account Exclusive
of projects approved, but not com
pleted, was less than $4,000, 900,
leaving 1919, 449,3s9 available. But
as the share of the United States in
such improvements is approximately
40 per cent Of the estimated cost of
the work it follows that projects ag-
gregating in cost approximately
$54s,OOO,OO0 must be approved by
the Department of Agriculture and
that work completed before the
funds available will be exhausted.
AS less than 20 per cent of the
total amount authorized to be spent
has been drawn from the Treasury
in the last four years, the commit
tees on roads of the House of Rep
resentatives has decided that suf-
ficient funds to pay for all probable
improvement during the next two
years are already at the disposal Of
the states and in consequence Con-
gress will not be asked for addi-
tional appropriations for this pur-
pose at this session. And unless a
greater amount of federal aid money
is utilized by the states in the COM
ing years than has been used in the
several years last past, there prob
ably will be no further appropria-
ton for several years.
