CLEANING OF GRADE
PROVES BIG JOB.

The City's Street Cleaning depart
ment has been busy for several days
in an attempt to clean the Commerce
street river grade. The workmen have
discovered that this grade is covered
by several feet of mud and it will prob
ably require much time and large
sum of money to complete the job. 1t
Is understood that the local tobacco
warehouse men have agreed to help
defray the expense of this improve
ment suggested by them for the easy
delivery of tobacco which might be
brought to Maysville by boat this year.
It Is reported that much tobacco was
purchased by spectators to be deliv-
cred here by steam and gasoline river
craft.

WAREROUsEMEN.
BANKERS, GROWERS
TO MEET FRIDAY
Conference at Lexington To Attempt
TO Find Rational Solution Of
the Problem Of the To.
bacc0 Men.

Following the closing Tuesday Of
the Lexington tobacco market and
practically all other loose leaf mar
kets in Central Kentucky, the Lexing-
ton Warehousemen's Association met
Tuesday afternoon and issued a call
for convention Of all warehousemen,
bankers and growers organizations
In Central Kentucky to meet in Lex
ington Friday afternoon at Q o'clock
for the purpose Of seeking solution
Of the present tobacco situation.
I John W. Newman, president Of the
Burley Tobacco Growers Association,
issued a call for the directors of that
organization to meet with the ware
housemen and bankers to attempt to
find q rational solution of the problem
now confronting the growers Of the
state.
The principal question to be consid-
cred at the convention is understood
to be that of extending credit to the
growers so as to enable them to hold
their tobacco off the market until con-
ditions are improved. This cannot be
done successfully unless loose leaf
warehouses in the Burley districts of
adjoining states suspend sales, 1t was
pointed out at the meeting of bankers
and warehousepen Tuesday night.
An effort win be made to have ware
housemen In Louisville and Cincin-
natl suspend sales until such time as
It may be determined to reopen the
sales on Central Kentucky markets, 1t
was said.
President Newman, Of the Burley
Growers Association, said that the
situation is too serious and too far
reaching in Its consequences for any
group to attempt to solve 1t and that
his organization will be guided by the
decision Of the community of interests
that will be represented at the general
conference Friday afternoon.
The place of the meeting of the con-
ference between bankers, warehouse
men and growers Friday afternoon
had not been definitely decided this
morning.
The tobacco district was very quiet
Wednesday, only few growers being
in the vicinity.

way will be paved for the purchase of

possible the earning of reasonable

SOUND POLITICAL ADVICE.

Women voters OF the nation were never given
so,udor advice than that delivered to the
Womon's Press club at Washington Monday by
Congressman Robertson. The women's Press
club of Washington Is an organization acting as
an auxiliary OF the league Of women voters and
IL devoting itself to the dissemination of propa-
Fanda calculated to arouse a Sex consciousness
among tho newly onfranchised voters.
To this club Miss Robertson said plainly: "Tho
best service you can perform for the women Of
the nation Is to advise them to align themselves
voters with either the republican or demo-
cratic party. then close your doors and go
home"
II IL not expected that this advice was pleas
Ing TO those to whom It was directed. For there
has been from the first silly. senscless effort
to create among the women voters n strictly te-
maio political organization demanding for its
members political recognition on the sole ground
that they are women They must have their
propor,ionate share Of everything regardless OF
merit and solely because Of sex--a sort OF de-
naturcd sovietism that would lead to bancful re-
suits and eventually cause widespread regret
that woman had ever been enfranchiscd.
Thinking directly to the heart OF her prob
lens and free OF all fadism OF all kinds, 1t was
inevitable that Congressman Robertson should
