Cabinet Of Lawyers.

Five of the members Of President
Taft new Cabinet are lawyers. To
an observer this would seem 20 be an
overdue proportion of the legal pro-
fession. There certainly will be
plenty Of law even if there is no Cos
pei in the bunch of advisers to the
President. There should be at least
one practical business man, one real
representative Of the laboring men and
q farmer who comes from the farm
and not some tiller OF the soil by theo-
ry alone. Five lawyers certainly is a
number sufficient to keep the cabinet
in contention all the time.

New School Law Should Be Re-
pealed.

The press of Kentucky should beg in
now to demand tie repeal Of the new
school law. as it now stands of the stat
utes of Kentucky.
When the law is examined it can
easily be seen to be only an Indiana
Ohio Importation with co-racial fea-
lures, and the repeal of it as it now
stands should be the first work of our
next General Assembly
There is more than one unreasonable
argument against this law, and later
on the people of Kentucky will get
dose of this law that will thoroughly
nauseate them. Just wait until the
county high school is established in
each county, and it is to be done next
year, and you will see the negroes ard
whites in the same classes. then we
will see the Indiana mixed school law
blossom out in Kentucky.
The negroes under this law can go
to school with the whites, and you
can't help yourselves. Under this law
the whites are not only taxed to edu-
cate the negroes. but are forced to
either admit them INTO the county high
schools, or each county be taxed to es-
tabished high school also for the ne
groes.
What do the County School Superin-
tendents throughout Kentucky propose
TO do with the negro common school
graduates when they apply for entrance
to the county high school? Will they
put them into classes with the whites?
Will they tax the county to establish a
negro high school? We ask them if
negro can serve as trustee over q white
school? If so. is it not possible to
have negro trustees looking after
white schools?
3 State Superintendent Of Public In
struction Crqbbe, one of the chief
promoters of the law, says: Il would
deplore any friction about this splendid
system. He admits that negroes can
be trustees over white children, but
says whites should be trustees over the
negroes. If a negro can be a trustee
how long will it be until he is a teach
er over white children just as it is in
Indiana and Ohio, where Prof. Crabbe
and his allies got their pet law.
Take county whose population is
equally divided between whites and
nergoes. It is possible to have a negro
for School Superintendent, the educa-
tional board negroes and negro trustees
Thus the whites would be dominated by
a negro population, and under this law
the logical meaning is negroSteachers
also.
Under the old school law we had
schools. The whites controll-
ed theirs. The negroes controlled
theirs. But few cranks were not sat
isfed. They saw the whites and ne
groes in the same schools in Indiana
They loved it. They wanted to see
the same in their "Old Kentucky
Home" And fool Legislature initI-
ated a system which, if not kicked to
death, will breed innumerable WOES in
this State.
1t is high time that the people of
Kentucky are awakening to this in
iquitous school law as ii now stan DIS
on the books.
