Kentucky is wen taking a more
backward step in the matter of negro
education than its sister southern
state of Mississippi by the passage Of
a law by her legislature actually pro-
hibiting the education Of the negro.
1t is said the effect Of tGiS law will
close one of the famous colored insti-
tutions OF learning in the country,
Berea college, endowed by northern
philanthropists for the purpose Of
elevating the negro race through the
means of higher education. Miss
Helen Gould is a contributor toward
this endowment fund to the extent of
So, 900.
Kentucky is q of the states of the
union in greatest need of educational
and civiliziDg influences, for in no
other docs so much ignorance dwell
among the masses, nor in any other is
SO much lawleSSneSS extant. Ken
lucky goes away back in the process
sion by this last act of her legislature
in dep-iving her people of educational
privileges.
Gov. Beekham is said to be the lead
er of this sentiment to deprive the
negro of an opportunity tn get an ed
ucation in Kentucky. as Gov. Varda-
man is in Mississippi. and the two
may be classed with the mossbacks
who would block the wheels of pro-
gress arc keep the south travelling
along in the same old rut it was in be-
fore the war.-Solth Bend Tribune.

Terms of County and JudIcia! Officers
Cannot Be Extended by Legislature.

Addison c. Harris, Of Indianapolis
at the request of James. P. Goodrich,
chairman Of the republican state COM
mite, has prepared an opinion on the
constitutionality of the law passed by
the legislature of 1908 extending the
terms Of certain county and judicial
Offices SO that the terms OF all such Of
fees shall begin upon the same day
and uniformity thereby be secured.
Mr.. Harris holds the law to be un-
constitutional. and suggests that in
all counties the nominations be made
as usual this year. The law affects
different offices in different counties.
In Marshall county it gives the
county treasurer VIM. O'Keefe an ex-
tension of one year. County Clerk
Jones and Auditor Singrey who are
serving their first terms may not be
effected by this opinion of Mr.. Harris.
County officers will be nominated this
year the same as if no law ~lenthening
the terms of offices had been passed.
Then a friendly suit will be instituted,
and the case will be carried to the SUI
preme court for a final decision at the
earliest possible moment.

1t is supposed that peanuts ere
the cause in an indirect way, of the
death of little Murlel Tank, the adop-
ted child of VIM. Tank of Walkerton
who died Thursday morning. Tues
day while she was eating peanuts one
caught in her wind-pipe which caused
considerable coughing. Wednesday
morning it was necessary to call a
physician. The exact location of the
peanut could not be found SO it was
impossible to perform an operation.
All day Wednesday her breathing was
heavy. Thursday morning she asked
to get up she was helped up and walk
ed over to her mother and died very
peacefully in her mothers arms.
Physicians think heart failure was the
direct cause of her death brought on
by the peanut in the wind-pipe caus-
Ing a poisoning of the blood. The
funeral took place Saturday afternoon
at 1:30.

Sound Talk on LynchinQs.

A recent issue of the Charleston
News and Courier contains a well-con-
sidered and fearlessly written article
on the question Of lynchings. What
it says is applicable to lawlessness and
to lynchings everywhere, North as
well as South, and not regarding the
question whether the lawlessness or
the lynchings are few or many in
number. Insisting that the mob
must be suppressed, or that confess
sion of failure of American civilization
must be made, the News and Courier
says:
1t is unlawful 10 to put a man to
death in the state without due process
of law, and whether the person is
killsd by an individual or by a number
of Individuals the crime is murder and
ought to be punished as murder.
That is the plain truth, plainly
stated. 1t is a truth applicable to
temporizings with the law and appli-
cable to the conduct of too many sen.
tirnental juries and hair-splitting
courts. The mob and civilization can
not continue to exist in one and the
same community, for the mob is but
the active expression of anarchy.
Neither can civilization exist where
any one class attempts to dictate what
shall or what shall not be done, or
where courts and jurieS fail to rise to
the demands OF strict and impartial
justice.
The sign given by the News and
Courier is most wholesome, but South
Carolina-and every community
must learn the lesson of punishment
of murderers in the individual as well
as murderers in the mob. When an
unarmed mar can be shot down on the
streets Of the capital Of a state, as
Gonzales was shot down, and when
the slayer can go acquit, as Tillman
went acquit, there will always be
found some sort of Reuse for muLS,
while the last excuse for the mob will
vanish when Justice sits blindfold in
the tribunals, and is Swayed neither
by passion nor by position. And that
is applicable to Illinois as we'll as to
South Carolina, to Massachusetts as
well as to Louisiana. In fact, it is
applicable in every state.

Democratic State Chairman O'Brien'
announced Thursday that tie demo-
Gratis had filed a third suit ~contesting
the constitutionality Of the appor-
tionmeut act of 1908. This suit was
filed in Ripley county. When asked
the !object or bringing further suits

ready decided in favor Of the demo-
cratic contention and the cases were
now en- route to the Supreme Court,

The Model Republic.

Pursuing an even tenor, at peace
with itself and all the world, making
nc great stir in the struggle of ma
tions for supremacy, sandwiched in
among striving monarchies of the
eastern hemisphere, is Switzerland,
known as the model republic. 1t as
pires TO no greatness, seeks no con-
quest, has 10 rivalrles and gets along
with as little friction, no doubt, as
any other country on the globe. 1t
is made up of a hardy, industrious, in
telligent, peace-loying people and in
many respects is a pattern for all
other republics to copy from.
Switzerland in the first place has a
good political system, 1t is never
rent by political disturbances. Though
it changes a president every year
there are no yearly political campaigns
to stir the land from center to circum.
ference. The government is in the

body chooses q president and vice.

officer for the federal council. The
vice-president is purely an honorary

his turn to step into the presidency
when the year rolls round.
In this way the country is spared
the chickering's and backbitings and
face -slappings and nose-knockings
common to the United States every
four years. Why would it not be well
for this strenuous republic of the
United States to initiate Switzerland
at least In one re spect, make the pres
ident ineligible TO a second term, and
improve upon the Swiss republic in
another respect by extending the term
of a president to six years, as accord
ing to our system we must now have
a political tempest all over the land
every few years. 1t would be much
better did it come but every half
dozen years and then have a new man
at the helm every time.
Either that, or let US follow the ex-
ample of Mexico and fix it so that
when we get a good man for president
keep him there for life. In France a
he is elected every seven years all is
said and done, though. there may be
defects in the United States political
system. wherS is the republic or any
other nation On the globe that has
made such rapid progress in the march
of civilization within the little more

CONDITION OF SENATOR HANNA
HIS Doctor Thinks He May Be Able 3,
Start South in a
Week.

Washington. Feb. 5.-There was no
distinct change in the condition of Sem
ator Hanna, who is suffering from the
grip and great physical exhaustion.
The attending physicians say there are
no alarming symptoms, and they ex-
press the belief that if there are no
untoward developments in the case the
senator will recover in a reasonable
time.
After the consultation of the physi-
clans, DIR. Rixey made a statement, in
which he said that a blood exam
nation is being made and a report will
be made at 8 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. If everything goes all right from
now on we will have Senator Hanna
up in a week and send him away to
recuperate." 1t is proposed to take the
senator south. The senator is unable
to take any solid food and his nourish-
ment las been confined to milk.
