THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

In regard to the eligibility of
some of the Republican members OF
the board of education, Il is plain to
any one who has investigated the
question that no one has been seated
ia the board of education who was
rot eligible, and no one was discard
ed who was eligible. DR.. II. F. WIZ
hanson is eligible, because no mat
ter how convinced the Democratic
members who resigned may be that
H. Is holding two Offices" the fact
remains that he is not. The place of
pension examiner Is not a federal
office" within the meaning of the
law, and 1t will require something
more than the mere desire to have
such a place considered a federal
Office" to make It one.
Mr.. Lycurgus Rice was seated by
the board because the only claim
urged against his serving was that
he was not property owner" and
IL was shown conclusively by the
charter that he did not have to be
o property owner, but merely a
house keeper" and he was house
keeper.
Captain Ed Farley was elected
school trustee in place of Mr.
Henry MCGEE, Democrat, who fail
ed to qualify. Mr.. MCGEE had he
been sworn in, would have been
holding two offices, which is prohib-
tied by law, but a law entirely diff
ferent from the one which was cited
against DR.. Williamson. when to
serve their purpose the Democratic
trustees attempted to make fed
eral office" out of the measly place
of pension examiner. The law pre-
venting Mr.. MCGEE from holding the
two places is plain and as follows:
Section 165, Kentucky Constitu-
ton:
Incompatible Offices-No person
shall, at the same time, be a state
officer or a deputy officer, or a mem
Der of the general assembly, and an
officer of any county, city, town or
other municipality, or an employe
thereof; and no person shall, at the
same time, fill two municipal Offices.
either in the same or different mu-
inequalities.
There is another law which says:
Section 3744 Acceptance of in
compatible Office, effect Of. The ac-
ceptance by one in Office of another
office, or employments incompatible
with the one he holds, shall operate
to vacate the first"
Had Mr.. MCGEE preferred, he
might have under the last quoted
section relinquished his position on
the health board, and taken the one
in the school board, but he did not
accept, and until he did accept and
qualify, he could not have vacated
the first office.
In regard to Capt. Ed Farley's
holding the position of election com
missioner and school trustee, the
circuit clerk of McCracken county is
also an election commission
err. and before he became
member of the board, the
sheriff of McCracken county was
member. Certainly II the legislature
of Kentucky considered place on
the election board an "ofiice," II
would not have attempted to violate
the constitution and laws by requir-

BLESS THE LAWYERS,

Speaking of the ills from which
the country is suffering, the Saturday
Evening Post sums them all up in a
few legislatures and law
yers." 1t devotes brief. but elo-
quent chapter to each, and both are
so good that they should be read by
everybody. Here they are:
Now comes the season of legisla-
lures. At the national capitol, and
at the capitals of most of our forty
five states. gatherings of Statesmen
and of the sinister camp-followers

my.
"Of these several thousand tempo
rary but potent custodians of our
rights, how many sit in seats bought
for them by interests hostile to the
public good? How many of them sit
as mere registering-keys of political
machines. financed and controlled by
those same interests? How many sit
for the people rather than for party?
Finally, how many sit in their own
proper persons, men free and eager
to do what is right?
"Most of them are in parson-like
frock coats-they give the legislative
chambers an air of solemn, even flu
neral. responsibility. But IL they
buttoned their frock coats and. with
out doing any lawmaking, rode home
on their free passes from the rail-
ways. would We as a nation be any
the worse on?
NOW much they will do that ought
not to be done! How little that will
not have to be undone!"
at Ia impossible to deny that our
statistics of crime. and of the growth
of crime. in the United States are APP
palling-crimes against life, crimes
against property. crimes against pub
lie rights. And no doubt this state
of affairs is in part due to'the lax en-
forcement Of law and 10 the resulting
growth of the lawless spirit But to
stop there would be to leave the root
of this ugly menace untouched.
"A chief cause Of our iawlessness is
the law ITSELF statute-books flled

OF tourists was of the opinion, ex-
pressed then and there, while viewing
the treasury's contents. that what we
saw with our own eyes was of suffi-

that such an exhibition of splendor

DUCK HUNTING IN JAPAN.
Artiiciality Combined with Nature /
Capturing the Birda.

Capturing the Birds.
Marquis Kuroda's pond is some ten
acres in extent. Around its entire cir
conference great mOundlikc wall
some fifteen feet in height has been
thrown up. and upon its summit and
slopes a dense canebrake has been
planted, which rises some thirty feet
more in the air. and absolutely cuts of
all vision of the interior expanse of
water. At intervals Of some thirty
yards, for half the circumference of the
circle and on the landward side, bitches
about six feet deep and five feet wide
have been dug. These bitches with the
waters Of the lake some eighteen inches
deep i'm them, are about a hundred
feet long, banked with earth and
sOdded on each side. some three feet
above the surface of the surrounding
land. Where they enter the lake two
right-angled turns are made, which as
from any outside view. or vice versa.
A thousand tame ducks are kept in
this lake to decoy the wild ones into
the byway feeding bitches.
When the ducks once enter the ditch
and begin feeding. the warden pulls the
bell-wire and warns the host and his
guests at the house several hundred
yards away, and. as the birds approach,
he pulls second string. which con-
meets with and closes light wire gate
where the ditch debouches into the
lake. The duck are thus trapped in n
deep, narrow ditch, from which they
have no escape except in upward flight.
The netsmen hurry to either side of
the bank-protected ditch. and line up
along its entire length, with their long
poled nets held rigidly and their eyes
fixed on the cut i'm the earth. a war
den creeps to the rear end of the ditch
and cautiously peeps over. With a
series Of frightened squawks and a
splasbiDg and Tapping of many wings,
the terrified birds rise like bullets
from the water: the nets sweep through
the air and are brought bottom side
up on the rearward side, when a few of
the most lucky are found to have
thrcshing. loudly quacking duck en-
mcshed therein.-wilIiam DIdwiddie.
