CONCERNING WOMEN

OF OTHER LANDS.
The adoption of prohibitory law
in Finland is now being used as an
argument against women, as the fail
ure of the law to pass would undoubt-
edly have been used If the measure
had been voted down. The dispatches
say that the vote for the bill was
unanimous. AS the Finnish Parlia-
ment has 200 members, of whom only
10 are women, this is case where
the IONS share of the credit clearly
belongs to the man.
The dairying industry of New Zea-
land is increasing greatly. There are
now $40 900 dairy COWS, producing
more than 50 600 900 pounds of but

The State press is giving the
University trustees hail Columbia
for refusing to accept the Burkitt
rider to the appropriation made by
the Legislature to reduce the salary
of the Chancellor from $4,000 to
So, 800 And the press is right in it's
criticism. If the officials don t
want to accept the salary, they
have right to resign; but it is
doubtful if the Trustees have any
legal or moral right to nullify a
plain statue of law. The Trustees
meet again in June, and it is
probable they will accept the rider
and reduce the salary.

Because it is cut up by four great
rivers, the First congressional district
of Kentucky has more to ask Of con-

congress is Republican and our con-

fine thing to have congressman rep

the national administration and both
branches of congress? River COM

at the expense of the owners. II we
had year-around navigation OF the
Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee
what communities would benefit more
than Pajucah and the First district
by the rates and the easy communica-
ton? One drawback to our success
has been the fact that the congress.
sional districts along the Cumberland

slssippi project will get ahead of us
and when the appropriations are
made for 1t. all else will have to take
a back seat, it will be so expensive
Congressman, who belong to a party
that oppose every progressive act and
policy of the government, have little
voice in the matter OF deciding where
appropriations should be placed.
Think II over.
