OUR CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS

| For more than year this paper has
been calling attention TO the disgrace
full condition of the State Charitable
Institutions, under the present Demo-
cratic partisan administration. Gases
of extreme cruelty, and even murder
have been cited, not in one instance
but in many. The white wash brush
has always been applied, and the Dem
ocratic press would exclaim Republic
an lies and SANDER. When the people
demanded non-partisan board of con
troll, they were given the board" but
the control" was placed in the hands
of an INSCRIPTIONS set of Democratic
politicians, whose entire time has been
spent in an effort to send their grea,
and good friend TO the United States
Senate. ,
! Recently, under changed conditions,
in Louisville, brought about by the Re-
publcians and Fusionists, the new May
or appointed by the Governor has had
an investigation made of the city hos
pital, with the result that the most
horrible conditions were revealed. or
this report the Louisville Times says:
"Drs. Meyers, Thompson and Bailey
have taken from the people of Louis
vile even the poor excuse of ignor-
ance. In SO doing they have set forth
clearly why neither Mr.. Vogt nor any
man who succeeds him can meet with
success, for the simple reason that the
funds at his disposal are so meager as
TO make successful management inn
possible. With the knowledge of that
report, the duty is imperative of douh-
ling the annual appropriation for the
City Hospital, of erecting a new build
ing of placing at its head a trained and
experienced physician, on a salary of
not less than $4,000 a year, which
would still be $500 less than that
paid the Bailiff of the Police Court I;
Of selecting as assistant superintend-
ent a practical business man to relieve
the superintendent of the details OF
management and leave him free to
devote himself TO the needs of the
patients, and last, and most impor-
tant of all, Of taking the City Hospit-
al out of politics.
No more true or serious indictment
that can be brought against Kentucky
than ii still suffers political leaders
to reward their followers at the cost
of the helpless and the suffering in
civic and State institutions designed
for their care and benefit. The con-
dition is one for which the voters of
Kentucky are to blame and which thsy
alone can remedy, Until they demand
| the non-partisan control of all chart
table and penal institutions, the con-
ditions which Drs. Meyers, Thompson
and Bailey have done such useful SER
vice in making public will continue
unchecked in secret"
This is not Republican talk. 1t is

based on a report made by Democrat
ic physicians, appointed by Demo-
cratic Mayor. If such conditions pre-
vail in one institution. run by the ma
chine in Louisville, what think you
would be disclosed in the half dozen

In view of the lack of support or
interest in the proposed bond issue for
road purposes, 1t is likely that it will
be withdrawn by the Fiscal Court.
While at the time the order was made
there seemed to be a demand among
all our citizens, irrespective OF poll
tics, to take some such action for good
roads, yet there was no petition filed
asking such a step and therefore the
court may withdraw the proposition
and save the county needless expense.
1t is believed by many that the Ma
tional government will extend aid TO
the various States for raod improve
ment at an early day. If 1t is done,
the State will doubtless require the
various counties to put up like sum
before it can be had. This county can
then vote bonds and secure enough
money to build macadamized roads
to such an extent that all the people
will derive some direct benefit.

We have been trying to grow a
second crop of potatoes for twenty
years or more, but failed entirely un-
tikssg commenced to plant in June or
early in July.
We have just gathered a nice lot of
potatoes TIT were planted in the
spring and have planted a second crop
with the seed obtained from first plant
ing. They are the Triumph potato.
Have also planted patch of Lookout
Mountain potatoes with seed raised
last fall. This potato is said to be
the best for second crop planting, but
I do not see why any variety would
not do, if planted early, before the
ground gets so dry and hot. =
There is nothing that pays so well
in the way Of vegetables, as spring
and fall crops of potatoes. I guess
most every one knows how to plant
potatoes; what I am trying to impress
upon them is the best time for plant

At that moment being of an ana

ject. L had known this woman for
years and I knew that she was the
average American woman in charac-

American woman can be a school

are decided that you would not and
could not be schoolteacher because
of obvious limitations, let us see just
what those limitations are. Tell me
the reason or reasons why you could
not be schoolteacher."

You seem to know a great deal more
about me than I do myself. suppose
my chief fault is insufficient educa-

much education of the wrong kind
and not of the right kind"

asked.

briefly the main reasons why you
could not be schoolteacher and you
can make your deductions afterward." "
