OenOunCeS Soldiers Presence n
Bourbon County.

Shall Kentuckians be a free
people, or shall they submit to
military domination after the form
of Russian despotism," was asked
by Judge Stout in his charge to
the Bourbon grand jury.
He denounced the unauthor-
lied, illegal and unwarranted
usurpatiOn of the civil authorities
by the military branch of the
State Government"
He said it was time for the good
citizens of Bourbon to consider
why, in a time of great peace,
without the semblance of any dis
o der, a detachment of the State
Guard was marching to and fro
through the county and to inquire
by whose order they were in the
county.

Kansas Women In Office.

The appointment of Mrs. Levi
Cooper as Probate Judge of Nit
chell county by Gov. Hoch, and
the discussion that resulted from
the appointment, have developed
the fact that nearly every kind of
Office in the State except State Of
noes has one or more women occu-
pants. Mrs. Cooper is the only
woman in the State who is serving
as Probate Judge. However,
there is one woman County Attor-
ney in Kansas. Miss Gala Helm
line is serving her third term as
County Attorney of Seward coun-
ty. Western Kansas has had sew
eral women County Attorneys,
but the custom never appears to
have become popular in the caste rn
part of the State. In Norton
county Kate johnson has just COM
pleted a term as County Treasurer.
There are half a dozen or more
County Registers of Deeds in the
State, and probably thirty women

So far as is known, there are no
women in Kansas serving as clerks
of the district courts or county
commissioner. However, several
have served as Mayors of cities

In the Interest of EduatiOn.

Each county must educate itself.
Neither Federal aid nor State aid
can establish and maintain in a
county better system of schools
than the people of the county are
themselves ready to work for and
pay for. The need of the public
schools of Kentucky today is local
support, not merely local taxation
but local concern, local pride, "A
determination in each county to
put the schools of that county in
the first rank.
The problems of education in
Kentucky are largely Kentucky's
problems. They relate to the
negro vote, they relate to a widely
scattered population as distinct
from the concentrated populations
of the eastern States, and they re-
late to the poverty of certain
counties, so-called pauper counties,
which are not pauper counties at
all. They are called pauper coun-
ties because they draw out of the
treasury more than they pay into
it, but that is under law of av-
erages and not so much matter
of pauperism.
The friends of education in Ken
lucky are carrying on a campaign
of agitation. They are striving to
awaken each community to a sense
of its own shortcomings, to induce
that community to provide the
proper means for the proper con-
duct of schools. to redeem the
State from the stigma of illiteracy,

President Liebmann, in the
course of an interview said:
The most important question
before the convention of the Uni.

not prohibition but the local OPP

it necessary for brewers, in self
protection to get into politics"
National Secretary Hugh F.
Fox, of the association, says that
the greatest undertaking which
the brewers will have to confront
in fighting the prohibition wave
will be to clean up the disreput-
able saloons. There is no use ar

His Debt Has Been Paid at Last

At st. Paul, MIMI, on June 3,
few minutes after Robert A.
Smith had retired from the office
of Mayor of st. Paul he was hand
ed an envelope containing a draft
for $1,000. This amount had
been contributed by eighty-one
business men of st. Paul as an APP

EX-Mayor Smith is eighty-one
years of age, and has an office
h 'lding record of fifty years, fif-
teen years Of which, with the ex-
ceDtion of one term, was spent in
the Mayors office. At one time
he was very wealthy man, but
the failure of IA bank of which he
was an officer led him to volunta-

to make the loss to depositors as
small as possible. 1t was only a

In reference to the saloon Presi-
dent Liebmann said:
The abuse of the saloon is
marked by disorderly and disrepu-
table practices, which are not
really incidental to the business.
We agree with all decent men
upon these points.
/. That the saloon should not
be used to foster the social evil,
and should be utterly divorced
from it.
2. That the saloon should not
be used for gambling purposes.
3. That the saloon should not
be open to minors, and that the
sale of intoxicants to children
should be prescribed.
Mayor David B. Rose, of Mil
waukee, who has started a war
against the dive saloons in Mil
waukee, made an address of well

marks made reference to the war
fare being made against all saloons
which did not come within the

The Mayor and Chief of Police
of Milwaukee, in a petition to the
Common Council, have placed the
ban on about fifty saloons of the
class considered as being low"
and recommended that no license
be granted to those contained in
the list.

Whilst nothing its beauty mars,
Well tip our hats to Uncle Sam
And the fay with the forty-six stars.

Let us not forget to give God praise
For the freedom which we prize.

Each IDS his place to fill,
Each has his part in the Nations pride.
Let's sing with strong good will.

Let each heart tell how truth shall live
While time and tide shall last.

When the signal shall be given.
