fairs. 1t is too much to exl.ct the
average type Of man who represents
us in Congress to know that today
the whole. world is interdependent
and that the United States cannot
permanently prosper while Europe
starves.
AS Republican, my only consola-
ton is that we have an earnest and
patriotic President and that he has
gathered around him Cabinet sec
ond to none within the memory of
the present generation. But the Pres
ident and Cabinet ale prevented from
doing their best work by Congress,
which is overwhelmingly Republi and
at the same time overwhelmingly in
efficient. There is no hope in the
Dcmocrats-if anything, they arc
even more incapable.
What we need is clean sweep OF

take. This bill is not being put over
by the majority in Congress as rep
resenting majority in the country.
1t is being put over by reluctant men,
fully conscious of their folly but
bound by prediction understand
ings; by determined men who, like
Richard Croker, are for their own
pockets all the time; by weak men
who dare not knick over the party
traces. In such group the people
scant consideration.
So unpopular with the people in
former election years that it was
sought to disguise Schedule X" with
number, the wool tariff goes in
again, but worse than ever. An ex-
ira SIS in the cost of suit of clothes
is not trifle which the American
workingman is likely to forget. The
housewives of America, taught by
the war to can and preserve fruits
as never before, know what n tariff
rate of So 81 per hundred pounds
means TO them in the prise of sugar;
with an interest quickened by pers.
onal grievance they will read The
Worlds account of the manner in
which Senator Smoot. the selfan'
nounced dictator of the sugar rate,
sought to browbeat Cuban producers
into limitation of their crop by the
prolfer of n lower duty. The Ameri-
can farmer, though his representa-
tives in the agricultural bloc have
been squared, will not fail to under
stand how he is blocked from selling
the surplus of great crop abroad by
n tariff wall that prevents hungry
Europe from paying in goods-the
only possible way--for food it might
eagerly wish to buy.

AUG. i9-AND AFTER?
New York Herald.l

In no spirit Of citation, with II feel
ing of triumph, sustained by no con-
seriousness Of work well done or ex-
pectation of public approval, the Re-
publican Senators approach the vote
on the Tariff Bill, set for Aug. 10.
The illustrious ones who in gloom
and in darkness draw near the end
Of their four months labors have not,
to cheer them, even the prospect of
respite from all repugnant task of
alternating public respect and conf
dence. AS soonras the Fordney Bill
is sent to conference the bonus ques-
tion must be attacked under the ar
rangement made weeks ago with
President Harding. 1t is bleak au-
tumnal outlook.
Democratic Senators have acted
properly in asserting to vote. Fou,
monthse are not too long to debate
n measure of such completely and
lsuch vast Importance. The opposi-
tion cannot fairly be accused either
of filibustering against the will OF
the Nation or of failure to call Mt
tention to the impurities of the pro
jected law. Except for tho three OF
four sugar-and sheep-men counted
upon to help put the bill over the ar
titude of the Democrats is not sound
patriotism but politically wise. There
is lamentable lack Of aggressive
leadership to make use of tho favor
able situation created for the minor
ity by the bill. But there is no lacl,
whatever of popular approval OF
their course, general, emphatic I'M
restrained by party habit and fealty

AND STILL GOING

Under the above heading the
Maysville Daily Bulletin of Tuesday
published the following regarding a
fine old gentleman of the old school,
well known former resident of Paris
and Millersburg:
"Mr. John w. Boulder, of this
city, yesterday celebrated his eighty
first birthday anniversary.
HE is a Southerner and a Ken
tuckian to the core, was one of Nor
gan's Raiders and is rounding out
his autumn days in the quietude of
his home and never neglects to at
tend the annual meeting of General
Morgan's remnant of survivors. Mr..
Boulder is now day clerk at the St.
Charles Hotel, in Front street. He
can relate more unpublished remin-
iscences of those old war times than
any man in the State. Yesterday,
his sister, Mrs. Mamie Hunter, of
Washington, gave birthday dinner
in Mr.. Boulden's honor, and the af-
fair was bounteously beautiful and
true hospitality characterized the
occasion"

OLD ORDER CHANGETH

Another Kentucky institution has
toppled since prohibition has got
well on it's way, writes a staff cor
respondent. No longer is the erst-
while familiar "balsam bottle" to be
found in easy reach on the shelf of
the average rural home, for the rea-
son that one of the essential ingredi-
ents hardly is available to most of
those who chung to the remedy as a
general specific.
The preparation consisted of a
balsam pear in a bottle of whisky.
1t was regarded as an effective first
aid and good for almost anything
from a lacerated finger to "tummy-
ache" The balsam bottle had a ira
ditional place in nearly every we'll
regulated family and it had come to
be looked upon as something they
could not get along without. With
it's contents drained for the last time
and no more whisky in sight, the old
balsam bottle was parted with as
like an old standby with nothing
else to taake it's place.
Many of its users did not realize
the force and effect of prohibition
until it hit the balsam bottle.

THE OLD TOWN PUMP

The old town pump with it's germ
encrusted iron dipper dangling from
a chain now is a curiosity. 1t owes
its passing to the unremittent cru
SADIE of the health authorities
against a potential menace to public
health.
The fellow that nearly all his life
slaked his thirst at the old town
pump may be pardoned for being
somewhat incredulous about the mis-
givings of the learned health ex-
perts and the lurking dangers OF
bacteria associated with the public
pump. Be this as it may the town
pump had to go when public senti-
ment was aroused against prevailing
insanitary practices and there is
hardly doubt but at that public
health has been the gamer.

TO MEMBERS OF THE SEWING
CIRCLE

The proposed duty on hosiery
would add $2S9,OO0,OOO to the
amount the American people now
pay, which sum, it is estimated by
the Fair Tariff League, would
double to the consumers at retail,
making $57S,OOO,0OO. Out of this
enormous sum the government
would get a possible revenue of
only $3,6OO,0OO.
In the production of hosiery and
knit goods the United States is the
master of the world Our exports
were thirty-eight times more than
our imports in 1919 and ten times
greater in 1920. Our exports were
more than SO per cent in excess of
imports in 1921 when all foreign
countries were rushing merchandise
into the United States in anticipa-
ton of increases in the tariff. We
meet foreign prices in foreign coun-
tries. We could meet them here, but
ShO Cl hOl Ouly w anus "
shut out foreign competition, but he
wants to fix his own price, which
under the new tariff bill would be
the worst kind of profteering tax
alton.
Read what the Supreme Court of
the United States, in the Marshall
case, said about this kind of taxa
ton:
''To lay with one hand the power
of the government on the property
of the citizens and with the other
bestow it upon favorite individuals
to aid private enterprise and to
build up private fortunes is none
the less robbery because it is done
under the forms of the law and is
called taxation" The Fair Tariff
League asks: ITO whom does this
country belong-the hosiery manu-
facturers?"
The Republican party in it's tariff
bill legalizes this kind of robbery.
The Democratic party is opposed
to it.
You can help to stop it by voting
the Democratic ticket this fall.

papers because they are read in
every home.
That this is the day of golden op-
portunity for your city. If the op-
portunity be postponed through
needless delays it may be lost. This
is your opportunity to do your share
to make your city a buster and
bigger city.
That you should boost, not knock.
There is some good in every city.
Help to develop the good.
That you should not wait to be
asked to boost your city, do it with
out the asking.
That you should always remember
there is two sides to every question.
You might be on the wrong side.
That an ideal city is essentially a
city of homes. A good city in which
to live and make a living.
That your city is an industrial
city, whose income is balanced by a
rich surrounding agricultural sec
tion
That your city should be friend
ly city. While it is ideally located
for industrial expansion, to be
known as friendly city and take
pride in this friendly spirit will be
a great asset to attract newcomers.
That a man in looking for new
home, could find no city which could
offer him better educational facili-
ties or more wholesome living con-
ditions than can be found in your
city.
That you should start right now
and become a live business booster.

SEEK GOLD IN OFFICE SMOKE
United States to Filter Clouds From

New York.-Thousands of dollars
worth of gold and silver which now

metal from the gases arising from
smelling and refining operations.
The gases which will be treated will
pass up flues, provided for the pur-

been conducting tests, believes that
there will be saving in the recovery
of gold and silver Of from So to 5000

KENTUCKY HOMESPUN JEANS

A suit of clothes made from Ken
lucky homespun jeans now is a rar-
ity but the cloth still is produced in
a small way in remote sections Of
the mountain country. There the
old-time methods of carding the
wool, spinning and looming are
practiced in the production of the
finished cloth for which Kentucky
once had a nationwide reputation.
Kentucky statesmen of the older
period always appeared attired in
jeans and occasionally now men are
to be seen wearing a home-spun
jeans suit of the most modern sar-
torial cut giving the wearer an air
of distinction.
In most cases the mountain looms
now are devoted to weaving rag car
pets in which handiwork many Of
the women are experts. Many Wis
itors have marveled at the blending
of the colors and the artistic de-
signs in rag rugs woven on a noun
tain loom.

OUR WELL KNOWN HOSPITALITY

Kentucky life has one outstanding
feature, the generous hospitality of
the people that has made the State
famous far and wide. The Kentuck-
ian no matter what may be his cir
cumstances is by nature a liberal
entertainer and the stranger ordi-
narily is more than welcome under
his roof
The exception is the rule where
the traveller cannot put up for the
night and eat the "vittels'' afforded
and not be met with resentment if
he offers to pay. The host may per-
NIT a few coins to be given to the
children of the household but often
he will draw the line at that. He
finds pleasure in entertaining the
guest and making him feel at home
and the mere thought of CONNER
cializing his hospitality is repug-
nant Many customs have changed
in Kentucky but for the most part
the spirit of true and generous hos
pitality clings.
This Kentucky trait is more
noticeable and talked about than
any other. Travellers from other
States cannot understand how they
can drive up to a Kentucky home
and enjoy a meal prepared for them
without a previous haggling about
the price of the accommodations.
Their wonder increases when they
unwittingly offer to pay for the ser
vice and are rebuked for their pre-
sumption. Dragging on the cooking
of the good housewife by the host
and mistress who are ready to pro-
vide for the next visitor that comes
around.
Kentucky hospitality is not con-
fined to any one section but pre-
dominates in all whether it be in
the mountains or the lowland. A
Kentuckian's larder may be barely
sufficient to provide for his own
needs, but generally he is willing to
share his substance with the stran-
ger within the gate.

PRIORITY SOUGHT FOR HIGH
WAY MATERIAL

In an effort to obtain priority Or
ders for material used in public
road building in Kentucky, Senator
Richard P. Ernst, State Highway
Commissioner Joe Boggs, of Frank
fort, and Green Garrett, of Winches-
ter, held a conference with Chair
man McCord, of the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Washington.
They explained that unless material
could be obtained promptly, 5000
men would be thrown out of employ
ment on the State highways within
60 days and that work on road
building would be delayed seriously.
Commissioner McCord, a former
Kentuckian, promised to do his best
to provide the opportunity for Ken
lucky to get it's building material
without interfering with the neces-
sary distribution of coal.

LEGEND DUETS FEAR
Volcanic Activities Fail to Dis
turb Older HaWaiians.
Remember Ancient Legendary Agree
ment in Which PeIe, Goddess OF
the Volcano, Promised to
withhold the Lava.

pits Of Makopuhi, Hanau and Napau.
which have been dead" Since 1910,
drained much, of the Lava that had
made Halemaumau, the vast inner era
ter of the Kilauea volcano, so spec
tacular, and caused much fear that the
lava would flow toward the sea and
inundate the little villages of Kala-
pana, Panau and Puaa.
The older generation OF Hawaiians,
however, entertained no such fear, for
they remembered an ancient legendary
agreement that had been made by
Pele, goddess of the volcano, with
Kama Puaa, the Hawaiian pig god. by
which Pele promised her lava would
never flow through HilO or Puma to
the sea.
Pele and Kama Puaa had an argu-
ment and Kama Puaa went to Hale
maumau, Pele's home, to fight it out.
The god and goddess fought until Pele
was overcome, and she pleaded for
peace, according to the legend.
1--WE shall have peace If you prom
Use never to allow your lava to flow
through Puma or Hilo to the sea"
Kama Puaa said. Pele assented, and
she has never broken the promise,
fearing a return of the hated Kama
Puaa, the legend said.
In 1880, when a lava flow was pro-
ceeding toward HilO and threatened to
destroy the city, the Princess Ruth
came from Honolulu here and, standing
near the flow, reminded Pele of her
promise and her danger from Kama
Puaa/if she broke the agreement. The
flow stopped Immediately, according to
the older Hawaiians.
On several other occasions Pele has
sent her red-hOt rivers in the direction
Of Puma and HilO, but they iave never
reached the two places.
The last activity, resulting from an
underground flow from Halemaumau
that broke out at MakaOpuhi, IL miles
down the great southeast rift that
leads from Kilauea, has changed he
appearance Of Kilauea, Hawaii's great
est scenic attraction, tremendously,
according to persons now at the crater.
1t is now possible during favorable
wind shifts to approach close to the
pit-rim in what was known as Pele's
oven.
Although the pit of Kilauea shows
no activity, volcano observers say that
"she is not dead, only sleeping"
