Hey, there, boy, come in

What Our Schools Cost.

Kentucky pays an enormous
amount to teach her young ideas
how to shoot. During the last
fiscal year she paid $1,4SO, 900.
Of this amount county superin-
tendents received $7S, 400, or an
average of $500. The average
cost of teaching was Sc 50 for
white and $40 for colored pu-
pills. The tax levied in counties
to supplement teachers salaries
was $4,000. Private subscrip-
ton to teachers amounted to
SIS, 900. During the year 1900
teachers taught in the white
schools and 1900 in the colored
schools. The total census enroll
ment of white children was 520,-
600 and of colored children TO-

Kentucky at the Fair.

Kentucky should be creditably
represented at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, which will
be the greatest exposition the
world has ever seen. Missouri is
at our own doors, our sister state
settled largely by Kentucki-
ans. There is much Kentucky
blood and Kentucky energy in
this great undertaking. Even
the fair lady found to be the
most beautiful now living in the
Louisiana Purchase is a Ken
lucky girl, born on Kentucky
soil and now living in Missouri.
"A strong working committee has
been appointed by Pres. Harry
McCarty, to represent the Ken
tucky Press Association at the
present session of the Kentucky
Legislature, and the Association
'fayors an appropriation by the
Legislature that will permit Ken
lucky to be creditably represent
ed at the coming exposition. In
addition to other duties directly
affecting the press of the state
this legislative committee, of
which Judge John H. Westover
is chairman, is expected to aid
the plan to put Kentucky re-
sources to the front at st. Louis
In 1908.
The eyes of the world will be
at the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition. Kentucky has been set
back seriously in the eyes of the
sssFld, and it is time that every
thing possible were done to re-
trieve the fallen reputation of
Kentucky industrially, CONNER
cially and otherwise. Let Ken
lucky go to the Fair in her gala
clothes and invite the world home
with her.

The Injunction.

The injunction granted by
Judge Walter Evans in reference
to the actions of the United Mine
Workers with regard.to the Rein
ecke Mining Company, is a pref
ty strong article. The restrain
ing order asked for by the St.
Bernard Mining Company is very
nearly as broad. And yet with
ali this we see no reason why
anyone should oppose these or
ders, that is, anyone who is in
.clined to attend to his own af-
fairs and not TO NEEDLE with
those of others. No hardship is
imposed upon the men enjoined,
they are not prevented from
work or making living, no lib
erty that belongs to any other
citizen is denied them. 1t is to
protect the life and property
from those who would destroy
them. If the mine Workers have
had no evil intent upon these in
,dustries, they should not object
to all the restraining orders that
could be issued by the courts. So
lfar as we are concerned, we are
not opposed to a law that makes
gambling, stealing, robbery and
such things a crime, punishable
by fines, or imprisonments. These
laws do not hurt us, for the rea'
son that we have no inclination
to engage in any of these prac'
tees even if it were not against
the law to do so.

Why the Ruskln Colony Failed.

walter G. Davis in Gunton's Mag
azine)
Finally the end came, as it did
to most of the American Utopias,
because the communal life made
the people lazy. Ruskin, the
last Ruskin, was simply typical
town in rural Georgia. 1t lacked
almost every convenience of mod
ern life. The people dressed in
differently to the point of slat-
ternliness and the children ran
almost as wild as the razor backs.
The late w. II. Charming, in
carefully selected words, gave
this tendency toword Incidence
as the reason for the failure of
Brook Farm, and he was a men,
Der of the community too. Mr..
NOyes, founder of the Oneida
Community, after Il personal in
vestigation into the causes of
failure of these experiments;
Mr.. Macdonald, a Scotch Owen
lite, who visited most of the
American communities on a tour
of investigation and research.
and Mr.. Nordhoff, who investi-
gated some seventy odd commu-
mites, all, according to John
Rae's Contemporary Socialism"
agree in saying that laziness is
the bette noir of applied social
ism. One who has been through
it sums up Ruskin and all the
rest, and places the day when
applied socialism will be success
full only in that future time when
men, manners and morals will be
different from what they now
are, when he said: "The indus
trious, the skillful and the strong
saw the products of their labor
enjoyed by the unskilled and the
improvident, and self-love rose
against benevolence.v
