feature of the needs of this school
should be kept clearly in mind in any
plan that may be made for its enlarge

Gripping the educational facilities Of

The era of the Kentucky night riders
is at an end. At least. a truce has
been declared as the result of an agree
mcnt between the tobacco trust and
the organization Of the tobacco grow
ers which the night riders have repre-
scented. According to the reported
terms of the agreement the trust viii
pay a price above TIE market figure
tor the last crop of tobacco and the
planters have agreed to sacrifice the
next crop. The benefit to Kentucky Of
such a compromise is to be questioned
but almost anything seems better to
the people of that state than a contin-
uaton of the reign of bloodshed, prop
erty destruction and terrorism.

The supreme court of Massachusetts
is now struggling with the problem of
whether the Republican and Demo
cratic parties are the 1.-TWO leading po-
litical parties in Massachusetts as I'M
derstood by the political world or
whether the Democratic party has been
crowded into third place by the indie
pendenca League. The difficulty arises
out of the division of the Democracy
in the last state election, whereby a
part of its vote was cast for Mr.. Whit
ney ard part for Col. Bartlett. Nom
nation papers were filed for each and
the ballot commissioners gave to Mr..
Whitney the Democratic designation.
The Republicans of Massachusetts, are
not losing any great amount of sleep
over the matter.
