Washington, D. c., = Referring TO
the action Of the Denver convention
OF the American Federation OF Labor
in favor Of permitting the sale of light
wines and beer, Congressman John @.
Cooper OF Ohio challenges the right
OF Mr.. Gompers and the other leaders
OF the Federation to speak for the
workingmen Of this country on moral
questions. Mr.. Cooper recalled that
some time ago Mr.. Gompers declared
that in all his travels over the coun-
try he had yet to meet anyone who
did not damn prohibition" Against
that statement Of the labor chief Mr..
Cooper put the result Of a symposium
published by one Of the leading month
ly magazines, compiled from 526 re-
plies from prominent labor leaders to
the question, HAS prohibition been a
benefit to the workingmen and their
families Three hundred and forty

to bring back the sale Of intoxicating
liquors in defiance and direct viola
ton of the Constitution Of our coun-
try" For many years Mr.. Cooper was
locomotive engineer, and a member
of organized labor, which he is de-

COL. ARMSTRONG; {
COMMENT on Cen.
SUS REPORT OF
KENTUCKY HORSES
The War Department Is Inter-
ested In the Increase OF
Pure.Bred Horses

.There Is the utmost need in TINS
country today of increasing the num-
Der of pure-bred horses, particularly
those of the thoroughbred type, on
which the War Department must de-
pend for its cavalry mounts in case'ot
national emergency"
The above is a passage from the
statement by Col Frank S. Armstrong
Chief of the U. s. Army Remount Serv'
ice, relative to the 1920 census OF Ken
lucky horses.
The uneasiness Of practical, patri-
otto men like Colonel Armstrong over
the situation was amply justified by
the lesson Of theiast great war, which
so strikingly demonstrated the value
Of the horse in connection with mod
ern warfare andtrevealed what would
have become a pitiful shortage, had
the Germans held out only very few
weeks lsnger than they did
Nor must we forget tho Importance
Of breeding better horses more extern
siyely in times Of peace. Better bred
horses mean better work horses; bet
ter prices for them, and reader mar
ket.
The 1920 census figures indicate that
Kentucky, as usual, will lead her SIS
ter states as to both number and class
of horses, but even we are far from
approaching what-should be our quota
in either count.
Colonel Armstrong; statement Ii
j full Is as follows:
Despite the very small amount o.
pure-bred stock, as compared with tn
total number Of horses In the state,
believe that, when similar figures. TO
the ether states become available,
comparison of all will show that Ken
lucky still holds tn rank as the fore
most state in producing thoroughbreds
THE relatively mail percentage o
thoroughbreds and Of other classes 0
pure-bred stock included In the tota
number Of horses in Kentucky, is
general, and not a bcal. situation, an
the other states probably will sho'
even smaller percentages. The sam
conditions. am tokl, prevail with live
stock other than horses, though prot
ably not to the same extent as wit
the latter The census report uphold
and justifies the position taken by tn
American Remount Association ths
