of Labor was decided by Justice Wright

aeroplane at LIE Mans Instead of rising
gradually, the machine shot up like a
rocket to height of 240 feet. The aero

HOLDS TEACHER MAY USE ROD.

Kentucky Attorney General Finds
Legal Right for Punishment.
The controversy relating to the legal
right of the school teacher of the common
schools of Kentucky to whip a disorderly
pupil was ended when Attorney General
James Breathitt handed down an opinion
to State Superintendent of Public In
struction Crabbe in which it is held the
teacher is given the authority to whip
if it is necessary to maintain discipline.
A recent opinion of Judge William Car
roll of Newcastle, that the teacher had
no right to whip, has partly disorganized
the common schools and almost made it
necessary to close some of them.

DIVORCE DUE TO N'MAN HUNTING"
Philadelphia Rabbi Deplores "Hus-

band CatchinE by WOmen.
Man catching" by frivolous women
was deplored in a sermon by Rabbi Jo-
seph Krauskopf at Philadelphia. This.
he declared, was responsible FOR a large
portion of American divorces. The rabbi
said: From the day the daughter enters
young womanhood the sole thought of
many homes is man catching. No artifice
is Stunned that shall enable the gorgeous
ly decked-out huntress quickest to entrap
her victim. There is probably no thought
which occupies young society woman
more than that of being married; there
is probably no thought which occupies
her less than that of being happy when
married or making a husband happy"

North Can't Blame South.

The riots at Springfield, illinois.
have demolished the idea that race
hatred is more violent in the south
than in the north. Although the
crime, which is the cause of practi-
cally all the riots. is many times as
frequent in the south as north, there
is none of the blind fury there that
was Witnessed the past few days in
Springfield. In the south law a
biding, hard working negro is rec
ognized as a valuable citizen. and is
always protected by the citizens OF
the town, but at Springfield the muir
derous mob recognized no difference
in class but Just murdered all they
could reach. and attempted to Kill a
large crowd of women and children
that had collected at the state house
for protection. Illinois has blot
on her name that will be hard to ef-
face and nothing but the prosecution
and conviction of many of the lead
ers of the mob will redeem her name
at all. A firm stand by the police
at the start and the killing If neces-
sary of a few of the rioters would
have prevented all the trouble.
