Our Debt to Ancient Greece.

Greece and Rome were at the oppo-
site poles Of the human world, and
equally opposite are their influences
upon modern times. Rome was prac-
teal, hard headed, juristic, while Greece
was intellectual, emotional, artistic,
Astounding in what may be called the
forebrain versus the brain behind the
ears. Rome's empire was lengthy, ma
terial, matter of fact, while Greece
banked on the intellectual and spirit
ual, finding her greatest conuuests in
the realm of mind rather than in that
Of matter. Rome produced no great
original thinker, her greatest men shin
ing, like the moon, by borrowed light
light reflected from the sages of Ath-
ems. Rome taught men law, order. ODE
dience, but the mother of ideas and
sentiments was Greece. From the
Eternal City we have inherited our jur-
isprudence, but it is from the City of
the Violet Crown that we have derived
our art, science and philosophy. In a
word, to quote the substance of DIR.
Johnson's saying, eliminate from our
modern civilization all that it owes
to Greece and the residue would be bar
barism.-New York American.

Test OF County P Patriotism.

The counties of Kentucky are to have
an opportunity of cOnteSting with each
other for handsome prize at the Ken
lucky State Fair to be held in Louis
vile under the auspices of the state
Board of Agriculture, September 1921
Commissioner of Agriculture Hubert
Vreeland has rendered to the State
Board on APPROPRIATION to cover the pur-
chase of $500 Sterling silver late to
be awarded to that county whose ex-
hibitors at the forthcoming exhibition,
carry offithe largest number of ribbons
in all claSsifcations.
This is something unique in the his
tory of State Fairs, and It is expected
to attract a great deal of attention. 1t
is possible for every county in the
State to have a good chance of win
ming this award. A ribbon received in
any department will count for as much
as the ribbon that goes with the pre-
MUM where hundreds of dollars are
involved, therefore the county which
I, exhibits much fruit, will line up with
the county that has the greatest live
stock display, while the county which
makes good showing IN field seed and
grain, with vegetables and melons,
will stand as good a chance as that
! county that shows most poultry and
pigeons or the greatest amount of
woman's work and table luxuries.
1t is to be a free for all, with an even
chance for every county in the State.
The silver plate will be handsomely
engraved, framed in gold with a back
ground of velvet, and, for; the first
three months after the Fair, will be
placed in the custody of the County
Judge of the county which wins it. to
be hung upon the walls of the court
house; to be removed on January LIST
and PLACID in the Capitol at Frankfort.
The three months display in the county
court house will enable every citizen
of the county to examine it, while
after it is hung on the walls of the
Capitol, every visitor to the Capitol
will see the trophy and be impress
ed with the Importance of the county
winning it. When the new Capitol is
completed, the silver plate will be re-
moved to it, and as succeeding Fairs
are held, the trophies won by other
counties will be placed alongside the
first. Full information will be furnish
ed to any citizen of the State who will
address the Secretary, R. E. Hughes,
at louisville.

Best Site For Public Building
Turned Down By Government.

In turning down the offer of Mr.. J.
T. Hinton to sell The Government the
old Christian church property for the
new Federal Building the Government
mas simply refused the best site, and.
in fact, the only real practical site
that has been offered. 1t is near the
passenger depot, it is by government
survey. the center Of Paris, it is at the
intersection of the rural routes and in
every way the most desirable site for
the building, and is cheap property at
So, 900, considering what the surround
ing property has been selling for re-
Gently.
The ground offered to the Govern
ment as site embraces the property
of the old church, SO 2-3 feet on Main,
and extending one hundred and thirty
feet on Eighth street, and the adioin-
ing property of Martin Doyle, 'front.'
ing on Main fifty feet, or an aggre-
gate width on that thoroughfare of
one hundred and sixteen and two third
feet. Mr.. Hinton recently purchased
of the Vincen heirs the property in the
rear Of the Doyle lot fronting on High
street. for two thousand seven hundred
dollars, and from the rear of this must
be taken a sufficiently number of feet
to equalize the Doyle property in
length with that of the church prop
erty. Out of the total of $4,000 asked
for the site Mr.. Doyle would receive
81, 500, leaving a balance for the
church property of only So. 400, from
which must be substracted $500 for
the part cut off from the Vincent prop
erty, leaving a net valuation or the
church property of So, 700. Mr..
Hinton paid So, 600 cash for the church
property and many times could have
sold 1T for handsome profit.
Our citizens in general are up in
arms at the Government turning this
site down at the very last minute.
Paris is rapidly growing South and it
would not be at all practical for the
building to be farther North than
Eighth street, or on any other street
but Main. The citizens of our city
should be considered in this matter,
we think land the Government will be
asked to reconsider.
The old church property at the corr
or of Eighth and Main streets is in
one square of the opera house and H.
hrary, five blocks of the Louisville &
Nashville depot and will be within one
square of new and modern hotel now
contemplated. Its location there
means the erection at once of several
fine business, blocks and big growth
and expansion OF numerous enterprises
now contemplated.
There is nO'question about this being
the most desirable site, not only for
the Government, but for residents and
business men. It is truly hoped that
politics will not cut a figure IN this
matter, as it has been intimated, and
a desirable site to. almost every citizen
be turned down for one undesirable in
any view you take of it.

No Gambling.

No gambling will be allowed at the
big Blue Grass Fair, to be held at
Lexington the week of August 18th to
18th. The Board of Directors have
declined an offer of $4,000 for the
gambling privileges of that week and
have also declined sufficient guarantee
for bookmakers, who desire to make
book in case running races are put on, to
pay the cost OF the purses and to leave
goodly sum besides. The Blue
Grass Fair instituted the absolute rule
last year of allowing no gambling on
its grounds and it will live up to that
rule, even at the cost of what could
be made great revenue. This is a posi-
ton which will meet with and which
merits the commeandation Of the
people of the whole of Central Ken
lucky.

Was 1t The Presidents Dog.

DR.. Washborn, of St. Johns Episco-
pal church, who is President Roosevelt S
summer pastor, at Oyster Bay, made
1t plain Sunday that he proposed to
take no part in any nature taking COM
petition. When he saw that the main
point in his sermon was likely to be
misconstrued by his congregation be-
cause of the interest displayed in the
presence of friendly little dog, he
stopped short. He would repeat what
he had said after the dog had beea
elected, he announced, but first he
wished to insist that no member of his
flock should hereafter bring their pet
dogs to the church.
President Roosevelt and his family
attended the services.

ONE MAN KILLED
 IN BAD WINDSTORM
LOUISVILLE SUFFERS FROM A sE- VERB WIND STORM-SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED AND MUCH PROPERTY DAMAGED.

Louisville Ky, July A terrific windstorm which burst upon the city shortly before o'clock this afternoon brought death to one man and in- jury to several other persons, ac- cording to advices up to S:3O o'clock to- night. Many horses and mules were killed, buildings unroofed, smaller structures blown down and unprecedented damage done to shade trees all over the city.
 The man killed was Frank H. Leh- man, am employe of the National Casket company, who was crushed by falling cornice The property loss is roughly estimated at a quarter of million dol lars.
 The records of the weather bureau show that the maximum velocity of ,the wind was sxty-eight miles an hour during the height of the storm and the wind blew at the rate of sixty miles an hour for fifteen minutes. Several streets are impossible for blocks tonight owing to the trees which litter the roadways. Street car ser vice was suspended for several hours.
 Both telephone companies report se- rious Interruption to their service. No ad- vices have been received from the sur rounding country owing to prostration of wires Jeffersonville. Ind, across the river, escaped from the full force of the blow but the damage to property in New Albany Is estimated at s5O,O00, the heaviest loss being sustained by the Ohio Falls Iron works.
 Three churches and one school house were unroofed in New Albany.

that we got that business away from the Western Union.
 'The Western Union is trying to ex- clude us from all union depots and have just succeeded in excluding us from the Birmingham union depot, which Is per- haps the finest union depot in the country at present, and we intend to take the mat ter into the courts to set aside the monopolistio contract between the Birn- ingham union depot and the Western Union.
 Look at the Cuba cable which we are now laying and which will be in operation by September 30, and which will take a large amount of business away from the Western Union Look at the Pacific cable which took business away from the Vest ern Union. We are the only company that ever did really compete with the Western Union and succeeded in doing so. Other companies have competed merely to be bought out and none of them yer paid dividend in opposition to the West ern Union. All this talk about the two companies working In harmony is none- Sense."

CLAIMS LINES ARE
 HOT COMPETITORS
PRESIDENT MACkAY OF POSTAL TELEGRAPH CITES BIRMlNG- HAM TERMINAL STATION AS EXAMPLE OF RIVALRY.

New York, July s.-(Special.) .)-Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Postal Tele- graph-Cable company, when asked today in regard to the proceedings which were instituted yesterday by the attorney gen eral of the state of New York against the Postal Telegraph Cable company and the Western Union Telegraph company for ceasing to compete, said:
 'If two companies ever competed in the United States these two companies are competitive and always have been. At times the competition Is even fierce and bittr. Every merchant and manu- facturer in the United States wherever we reach will bear witness to the truth of this statement We are litlgating with the Western Union all over the country in regard to railroad rights of way. In fact the tremendous fight be- tween the Pennsylvania railroad and the Western Union was due solely to the fact
