What "State of War" Is.
A "declaration of war" by one na

nouncement that one intends to wae

the war in such a case, lies with the

The United Stated has rn traced in
four foreign wars, but it v.is never
declared war in any of these cases,
nor has any nation ever declared war
against the United States.
A "state of war" was declared to
exist in 1812 with Great Britain, in
IS 16 with Mexico, nnd in I8'8 with
Spain. A declaration of independ

A "state of war" means that the
country recognizing tueh a condition
believes it has been attacked and war

ceflfary for national defense and sec

places the responsibility for the war
and its consequences upon the other
nation.

What Senator James Has
To Say of President's
Message.
"President Wilson stated the case
of America as no other living man
could have done. Ho summoned at
once every patriotic American to the
defense of the flag and country. We
must not be, we cannot be, divided;
nil must be loyal Americnns. I feel
sure that Kentucky wilPstand solidly
behind the President, and I rejoice
that the citizens of our State of Ger
man birth and extraction will be as
loyal as the other Kentuckians. I
have known these people long and
well, and they have prospered and
contributed greatly to our state and
have become really and truly a part
of us.
"In the most dramatic and intense
petting in this nation's life, surround
ed by the Supreme Court, the Sena
tors, the members of the House of
Uepresentatives, his Cabinet nnd men
distinguished in nil walks of life, hav
ing hoped nnd prayed against the in
evitable, President Wilson shaking
probably for the life nnd freedom of
his own country, and for the life and
freedom of the world, presented to my
mind the wonderful composite of
Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.
"He made, it clear that we battle
for home and fireside and liberty, not
alone for ousselves, but for the free
dom and peace of the whole world,
lie assembled with rare ability the
crimes nnd outrages that we have
patiently borne. He pointed out tru
ly that our battle is not against the
German people, but against a cruel
Government that seeks to enslave the
world. The sword is drawn and the
light of liberty and justice shines up
on its blade."

The gauntlet has been thrown
down. Who will take it up? The
challenge to the christian manhood
anl womanhood of Richmond. Shall
we have a Y. M. C. A. or shall we
not? "That is the question.". Can
we longer pass it by? Have we the
right to pass it by?
A speaker at the banquet on Mon
day coning said; "We work for the
things we love" fur the things which
are enshrined in our hearts.
Then surely if this be true, we
should work for our boys we should
do something for them. We should
at least, house them as carefully as
we do our tobacco, our horses, our
cattle nnd our dogs. Who stops at
Hie tiling of cost, when it comes to
one of these? No, this is not the
trouble. It is a lack of interest "Be
not deceived God is not mocked."
We speak of Richmond and its
needs, and it is true, the needs are
there; the asphalt streets, the sewer
system, the modern buildings, the
great white way." The great white
way? And what would it reveal?
Our boys loafing on the street cor
ners with the old anil hardened roues
of the city hearing profane lan
miave smoking cigarettes and per
haps worse, drinking? O, yes, the
white way is all right, but by giving
them a bright, homelike and inviting
place of meeting, a place for whole
some recreation, of harmless umusc
riunt a p'ace presided over by a
manly man, a christian man, are we
not leading them into The Great
White Way which stretches on and
on, into Eternity?
I ,et us lay this matter on our
harta let us not be weary in well
doing let us work together and "in
due s':im)B we shall reap if wc faint
.int."
Then let us have a Y. M. C. A. in
Richmond a building which will be a
lasting monument to our citizenship!
One very public spirited and gen
erous man a young lawyer who was
present at the banquet on Monday
evening came forward with the offer
of $2.V00 a year towards the main
tenance of a Y. M. C. A. Several
other gentlemen have pledged their
support will not others follow their
example? Should not this be an in
centive to many to do something to
further the cause, and have a part in
this great work.
What an opportunity for some man
i malic his lf worth while to
make his wealth a blessing to our
town. Who then will come forward
with the offer of n room to le used
as temporary headquarters to be
litted up as a recruiting station for
our forces to be made into an attrac
tive club room for our buys! A place
where they can flock together and be
shielded from temptation. Where the
ministers and business men of the
town can drop in for a friendly chat
and thus establish a feeling of com
radeship, and mutual trust?
Yes let us get together, men and
women, nni boost our town; but not
to the exclusion of our boys; for what
if we gain all the things which have
been planned "what prnfiteth a man
if he gain the w hole world and lose
his own soul?"
THE CONOR ESS WO M A X.
We note, and not without a feeling
uf amusement, that the papers thru
out the country, dwell with malicious
kIcc over the fact thnt Miss Jeanctte
Kankin, the first conKrcsswoman,
tjave way to tears as she cast her
vote against war. Tears are not
necessarily a sijrn of weakness either
in mn or woman, and certainly not
in this case.
It rather showed streiiKth uf char
acter a depth of feeling and appre
ciation of the vast responsibility rest
ing on the conscience of Miss Kankin.
Unfortunately for our country, too
few of our members of Congress are
ever troubled with a thing like "con--cience"
and when the "tears" are
shed, they are generally shed by the
ones "back home" tears of shame for
he failure of these men to do their
duty.
Death of Little Louise Winter.
Little Louise Minter, the three year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Minter, died at an early hour Tuesday
morning al'ter an illness of only a
few days of measles which went into
croup. She was taken sick on last
Friday and steadily grew worse until
the end. The funeral services were
conducted at the cemetery by Rev. C.
K. Marshall, at the noon hour Tues
day, nnd the little grave was left cov
ered with flowers.
Louise was the baby of the family
and a beautiful and lovable child.
To the bereaved parents our hearts
go out in tender sympathy and we
would point them to the beautiful
lines,
"Wc arc quite sure He never
meant to break the slei.dcr cord
stretching between the here and
there. He will but keep our own,

To Be Held
Chamber of Commerce!
One of the very enjoyable sociul
gatherings of the week, was the ban
quet given by the Chamber of Com
merce on Monday evening at .Masonic
Temple.
The ball room presented a very pa
triotic scene with its many flags and
banners of red, white and blue and
choice flowers placed here and there.
Everywhere the spirit of good fellow
ship prevailed. At the long tables
were seated possibly two hundred
guests, among whom were many
ladies.
Mr. R. E. Turley, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, presided as
Toastmaster and did so in his inimita
ble style. Hon. W. B. Smith pro
nounced the invocation, after which,
Governor James Bennett Mc
Creury, the first speaker of the even
ing was introduced. He reviewed in
forceful language the great political
events in our country's history from
the Revolutionary period down to the
present time. Governor McCreary is
a man who has been honored with.
the highest offices in the power of the
jieople to bestow a man honored
both at home and abroad and it is
always a privilege to hear him. Other
sjieakors of the evening wen1: Or. T.
J. Coates, President of the Eastern
State Normal, who denounced most
earnestly the absurdity of the cry
"On to Berlin" and referred to Ger
many not as a country with an army
but as an army with a country.
His remarks were most favorably
received.
Mr. Lilly spoke on Civic pride and
paid a tribute to the ladies.
Tiof. J II. Cass:,la n a very hun.
orous and happy style rcend to the
present war and the Civil War when
he served in the "Infantry." As the
boys say:. "He mudc a hit."
Mr. C. C. Thomas, Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, spoke on the
work of the organization and made a
most excellent speech. He proved
conclusively what could be done by co
operation. He came in for his share
of the honors and applause.
Mrs. Lilly was called on for a toast
and spoke briefly on the city's needs

A beautiful musical program
given by Misses Cynthia Pnvison.
Annie Bnrgin Taylor, Lilliiwi and

banquet and is deserving of especial
mention.

Read This From The
Lexington Leader.
Three years ago a subscription was
taken among the court house officials
to secure enough money to allow the
boys who were frequently brought
before the court to enjoy the privil
eges of a Y. M. C. A. Fifty boys
were taken in at that time as an ex
periment. The results have been re
markable. Boys, who at one time
were compelled to spend most of their
time on the streets, were given ad
vantage of the opportunities offered
by the Y. M. C. A. Being transfer
red from the streets to pleasant sur
roundings had an excellent effect on
the boys and it is a rare thing that
one of them is arraigned before the
court. In my opinion if the Y. M. C.
A. did no other good than benefit the
boys of Lexington who have no
chance, the community would be fully
repuid for contributing towards its
support.
Higher Up.
Our popular fellow citizen, Hon. L.
B. Herrington, has been ordered to
wulk up higher. For some years he
has been with the Kentucky Utilities
Company as purchasing agent for
electric plants. He has made good
in this position and has been advanc
ed to the office of Vice President of
the concern with headquarters in
Louisville and is now holding down
his desk in that city. This is a de
served recognition of ability and we
know that in this position he will
make good. He will be at home the
week-ends with his family here. La
ter on he may remove to that city.
We extend our hearty congratula
tions and trust that he may yet re
ceive higher honors.

CITY COUNCIL DOINGS.
ti, ntv Council met in regu'nV
session last Thursday night and verr
iiltlc was done outside of the regu J
routine work.
Two ordinances were pnssed by the
Board of Council, but Mayor Kice
was somewhat opposed to both meas
ures and refused to sign them until
he made a thorough and comprehen
sive investigation of their legality, in
which he has thirty days.
One of the ordinances proposed was
the placing of a license tax of one
hundred dollars a year on all h.un-
rv inputs uncrating in the city in
other words, to tax all outside laun
dries operating in the city one liun-
,Wed dollars a viae. After conquer
able discussion, the license was re
duced to $50 a year, wh.ch was pass
ed by the Council.
The other ordinance was the impos
ing of a license tax of $15 a day upon
all foreign agents soliciting orders or
in any manner selling any goods even
for future deliveries, in the city of
Richmond. This ordinance was drawn
and passed with the intent and for
the nurnose of protecting the mer
chants against agents ami itinerant
merchants who sell nnd solicit orders
for clothing, shoes, dry goods, no
tions, groceries and, in fact, all kinds
of merchandise. Of course, the or
dinance docs not apply to regularly
recognized commercial travelers. The
vuladity of this ordinance was argued
by Attorney Joe P. Chenault for tne
merchants, and efter considerable
wrangling was passed by the Council.

A Popular Man Leaves Us.
Capt. John H. rates, so well and
favorably known here.Jias accepted a
position in Traflord, Pa., and left this
week to assume his duties. He will
be in charge of a large number of
men engaged in the collieries. The
position is a responsible one and car
ries with it a handsome salary. He
will not remove from this city, at
least it is not his present intention
of so doing, but he will come home
frequently to visit his family.
Capt. Pates will make good in any
position. He has a talent for leading
men and no man who ever served un
der him has ever said an unkind word
of him. Each one is his enthusiastic
helper and well wisher. Congratula
tions, Captain, and may you find the
very best yet in your new pomion.
You have legions of friends here who
wish you well.
