KENTUCKY AND THE NAVY
Kentucky is an inland state, -with only one admiral on her gen
eral staff, mid he mi honorary one, the commander-in-chief of the
fictitious fleet of t'lreen River, outranked, perhaps, and certainly tre
mendously outnumbered, by the over-night colonels, created sweh. as
he was. by gubernatorial whim.
Of seafaring men, however, she has sent many to join those who
man the nation's ships. The deep has held no terrors for her sons.
Though unaccustomed to salt water, they have gained a meritorious
record when called to sea. While far from where the breakers lush
the shore, Kentucky has realized in the past that her own borders are
not her boundaries.
It is, therefore, to be hoped that Kentuckians, because of the re
moteness of this state from the nearest seaboard, will not fail, to
recognize the importance of the settiug apart nationally of Friday,
October 27, to be known and celebrated in the United States as
"Navy Day." This suggestion made by the Navy League of the
United States and approved by the navy department, is to be carried
to its conclusion by observance of the day by patriotic and civic so
cieties and by comment in the press and study in the schools of the
achievements of the American navy in the past and consideration of
the navy's part in the destiny of this nation.
Of all the typically "dry-land"" states, Kentucky, perhaps, should
have more interest than any other in Navy Day.
In the year 1793 the first steamboat which ever successfully
moved on any waters was exhibited at Lexington. The town branch
of the Elkhorn, now disappeared from sight but then a considerable
stream, was dammed up for the trial of the miniature model which
had been constructed and crowds of enthusiastic spectators rejoiced
over the success of this important invention, the work of Edward
West, althongh the honor of having invented the steamboat belongs
it is generally conceded, to John Fitch, who completed a model as
early as 1785, but failed to carry his project to completion. Fiteh
was buried in Bardstown, Ky.
The willingness of Kentuckians to cross water was demonstrated
by a striking example in the early history of the commonwealth in
connection with what was the most dramatic incident of the state's
early activities as a part o fthe federal government.
In the war of 1812, when the cry. Remember the Kaisin!'' re
sulted in the summoning of new volunteers to throw their strength
against the British after Governor Isaac Shelby had taken the field
himself and the cry "Old Kings Mountain will lead us to victory!"
was heard, the Kentucky force thus mustered arrived at the camp
of General Harrison just at the moment when Commodore Perry wn?
landing after his triumph in the battle of Lake Erie. She narose the
question as to whether the American forces should go aboard ship
and cross the lake to pursue the British army into Canada.
Quoting Kinkead's History of Kentucky:
"The practicability of pursuing and overtaking Proctor was
carefully argued and weighed' as a military proposition, but in the
mind of Governor Shelby there was no hesitation. He had gone all
that distance with his 'Kentucky boys' to meet the enemies of his
country and his determination was fixed to seek an encounter. There
fore an affirmative decision was cast."
From that day to this the navy has rdayed a great part in the
participation of Kentuckians in world affairs. She has transported
Kentucky warriors. She has preserved the safety of the sea so that
Kentucky products could go to the uttermost parts of the earth to
make this state's name known to the "four corners." She has claimed
for her own many of Kentucky's most promising sons, who have
swabbed her decks and fallen out of her hammocks and fired her
furnaces and loaded he rcargoes and. when necessity demanded, shot
her guns.
It is likely that in the World War 'those youth from Kentucky
who disappeared with the mysteriously ill-fated Cyclops received
more fame than any others, but there were many more, both among
the many who survived and the few who heard the "one clear call"
for from the homes they loved, yet fearing not the dangers of the
deep,' who with their heroism made the name of their state immortal
among those who rode the billows with thein. and with them drove
the submarine to cover and protected American shores, forcing Old
Glory to be respected on the water as well as on the land, and making
the seas forever free. t
' Let no citizen with a misguided conception of patriotism think
that this commonwealth's only interest in the navy in that a properly
equipped battleship shall be named the Kentucky.
In time of peace no military agency can do so much toward pre
serving peace and augmenting progress as the navy, alike a soldier
and a diplomat. In foreign wuters the navy's ships and men can en
courage friendship as well as command respect for their nation. The
navy offers the first line of defense and the first of action.
The Herald hopes that Kentucky will not be indifferent to the
navy's past achievements and untold destiny. It appeals to Ken
tuckians, to the service societies and the other patriotic organizations
of the state and to the press particularly to grasp the opportunity of
fered by the setting aside nationally of a Navy day to carry out the
program for celebrating the achievements of the American navy and
for eneonriigiiiit public interest in the navy's present and future.--Lexington

Ohio, who was defeated by Mr. Har

for a president, has been In Europe

it is to b hoped that the people ol
Europe will realize that he is speakina
stmply as a citizen and one who wa
overwhelmingly defeated for the presi
dency. But Europe is thousands rf
miles away and these people may not
understand. When he lauded in New
York he said, among other things, that
the big Issue In the forthcoming con
gressional elections would be 'the fail
ure of the administration to partici
pate in the affairs of the world.'
"Mr. Cox made that statement fresh
from his visit to Europe and with :i

He probably forgets that the thou

Harding into the YliUe House did so

that conference In Washington almost
a year ago which ended with the first
real steps toward world peace and un
derstanding. The present administra
tion has dug as deep into the 'affairs of
the world' as it la safe to dig, and the
people of America know It. The woni

"At the conference in Washington,
the I'nited States participated in dis
cussion of world affairs only so far as
this country is intertested. We did not
meddle with European politics. Mat

were reached the same way, and the
meeting closed with all nations repre

Navy Denby who has just returned

tries feel closer to the Vnited States
than ever before. There ts no doubt of

I Forty-eight bills were displayed In

age in a self feedor had pro?ed to be

next care displayed 35 bills to show
that hogging down corn and coybcana

an even smaller number of dollars,
only 25 being exhibited In this one to
