the heat units of each for the
guidance of coal consumers
This was good move. but it
did not go far enough 10 satisfy
the Boston people. The same
men discovered, according to
the story in Priniec' Tx. that

the better and more economic

machinery DO the work that
heretofore had been done either

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE SCHOOL!

That the Correspondence School be made success
so far as the cause of higher education concerned has
been well demonstrated.
Whether it yet be made paying institution or even
self-sustaining, is yet problematical.
Many Of friends have written, expressing wish that
we had started the School, because of dread OF nan-
cal failure and while the Blade has lost time, labor and
money on the institution which candor alone compes
TO admit we have laid the foundation for larger and better
institution if willing hands only take hold and help
Students who passing through the elementary
grades of scientific eucaon under the School will if they
remain with the School another year. need the higher
branches such philosophy and corelatng subjects in
GLIDING biblical literature and history and while we are
devoting time the students, assistance will
be needed TO look after the students taking the second
course 1t will be physcal impossbility for man to
give the proper and necessary attention TO all the grades
preparing examination questions and passing upon the
students work for the better management OF the School
some outside help will become necessity.
One might ask, what is the School doing now, or, is it
beneftng its pupils by the instruction now being impaired

BLUE GRASS BLADE.

before the next commences the Blade expects pub
h essay from EACH that they may be able to express
themselves, in their way, upon the subject.
What the Blade would like do is to make the tuition
free all readers of the Blade, but to do that fund will
be necessary carry out The plan we here suggest
publish the examination questions each month i'll the
columns Of the Blade advise the proper textbooks
allow all readers participate in the benefits without
cost have competent and capable to pass upon
their examination papers, grade and make corrections where
they needed But that person must be paid for his
services and this is where the fund will be required
not be meager compensation but that will JUS
fv the time, labor and attention necessary to make the
Undertaking success.
Our selection is Thaddeus b. Wakeman who former
y President of and Professor in the Liberal University,
Siverton, Oregon which is incorporated both under the
laws of Oregon and Missouri. In Judgment, there is
capable and competent person in America for such
Il task and it will be of vast benefit the Liberal in
America if his splendid services be secured to it
through such a method.
At this writing, have purposely designed plan for
securing Prof. Wakeman, have consulted him upon
the subject In opinion, the sum of one thousand
dollars ought be raised in way to keep him employ
ed in the cause and our candid Judgment is that such
Correspondence School have here suggested offers the
best medium through which the Liberal men and of
America obtain the benefits of his vast experience and
wide knowledge acquired through half century of patient
labor investigation and study. Within the thirty
days would like hear from the friends of the Liberal
concerning their particular views upon the merits
dement's of this plan.
If YOU undertake to write this subject, state any
method YOU would like suggest for the raising of the
necessary money, and whether not other person
would be preferable for such responsible position Also
whether not in your opinion, the system of free
tuition through the Blade columns would be calculated to
produce beneficial results than the present system of
charging tuition fee.
We are thoroughly convinced that the School is
practicable and can be made benefit and success The
little experience have already had leads to such
cusion While it has not had the support might have
had and ought have had feel that the Liberals
can grasp the importance of such undertaking, they will
cheerfully stand by it,
One-half of the present school term is past We
wish begin preparations for the ensuing For

rnn noxreomERr MASS mBUr-

In the light of the splendid mass meeting in the Grand Theatre Friday night there need be no illusions as to public sentiment in Montgomery on the dangerous and iil-starred consti- tutionai amendment A magnificent audience of approximately 1.5eo peo- pie filled the theatre. notwithstanding the counter attraction Of an opposi- tion meeting addressed by distin- guished Alabamian.
 The, audience at the Grand contain ed men of the purest. cleanest and best type of citizenship. There were men in 1t. who. according to every standard, measure up to patriotic citi- zenship at it's best. They are earnest and sincere men who see in the pro- posed amendment under the thin dis- guise of so-cailed moral issue a grave menace to the home and to the liberties of Alabama.
 The amendment not only prohibits forever" the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquor in Alabama. but 1t abrogates forever. rights of individual liberty and that sanctity of the home which has been the proudest boast of Anglo-saxon civilization. Montgom- cry county recognizes this as the issue squarely made. and is meeting that is- sue sauarely. Montgomery county will roll up an epoch making majority against the measure.
 Montgomery. from its earliest days has been conservative. It is today the center of the conservatism of Ala bama. The waves of radicaiism which at intervals have swept over Alabama. broken and fallen back, have but slightly affected Aiabama,s Capital City.
 The radicaiism which threatens Ala bama finds In Montgomery a positive and determined opposition. And in that opposition are lined up great many of Montgomery's truest and best citizens. The mass meeting is another evidence that the extremists will find but cold comfort in Ala bama's Capital City
 The high plane taken by the speak CTS. their clear cut and logical analy- sis of the dangerous amendment, without personalities and without ap- peais to prejudice were appropriate characteristics of an unusual and re- markabie political meeting. ~

The Providence Journal thinks the public has right to know whether powerful interests have banded them selves together to put an artificial price on food" It may be that the public will not be allowed to get at the truth. but whether the present prices of foodstuffs are artificial or real the plain fact that they are on us is apparent to all consumers. It may be due to increased demand, but there is wide suspicion that trusts and combinations are responsible for the high prices we are compelled to pay for almost everything we eat If the latter is the case there ought to be some way to pull them off their perch The natural laws of supply and demand may cause food to he high and no help for it. but few things could be more cruel and heartless than artificial increase of prices.

SAME OLD STORY.

The despatches printed in the news papers day or two ago stating thai revolution had begun in Nicaragua was not of nature to be called news; that is. 1t was not news of the unex- pected kind. It is really news when some kind of trouble is not going on called republics in Central or South America They can break loose almost at a day's notice. and often without any Apparent cause or reason for the trouble. so far as the. outside world can judge
 These perennial disturbances, call- ca by courtesy revolutions. would have little interest for the outside world were 1t not that respectable governments may, Sometimes be drawn into them. rhe iawlessness and loot fnE wfich usually attend such per formakces may extend to the persons pr property of Americans or Euro peans temporarily or permanently re- siding there. and thus cause interna- tional complications more or less se- rious.
 Were it not for this possibility we suppose all outsiders would be willing ~ to let these volcanic republics eat
  each other up and have done with 1t. for there Is little hope of permanent quiet and order among them. For the most part their population is a mon grel aggregation of all peoples. with the savage element largely predom- mating. They have little capacity for seif-governmet and would not remain quiet even under the most despotic topm of government that could, be de- yised.
 One of the latest dispatches tells us that martial law has been declar- ed. that the government has adopted drastic measures to put down the re- volt. and much more of the same fa- miliar sound which we always hear at such times. But along with it comes the significant statement that no measures have been taken to pro- tect American interests. Naturally, then, we may expect Americans to be killed. their property destroyed and all the rest of It. Then there will be lot of red tape, Nicaragua will apol- ogize and probably pay some damages and that will be the end of it-for this time. The whole business Is a dis reputable farce.
