The Tennessee Reversal.

The Supreme Court has reversed
and remanded the case of the eight
men convicted at Union City of
the alleged murder of Capt. Quen-
tin Rankin, at Reel Foot Lake.
about a year ago. The court did
not pass upon the guilt or limo
cence of the accused, but reversed
upon the ground that there was
not fair trial.
The higher court held that the
grand jury, which found the in
indictment, was illegally drawn,
in that it was selected from a
panel named by the presiding
Judge instead of by three members
of the County Court; and that the
court also erred in depriving each
of the accused of his constitutional
right to challenge veniremen.
The eight men were tried under a
Joint indictment, and the States
counsel contended that being
jointly indicted they were entitled
only to twenty-four challenges,
which would apply if only one
man was on trial. The trial Judge
sustained this contention.
The case now goes back to be
tried in accordance with the find
ings of the Appellate Court, and
under the circumstance the out
come is probiematicai. On the
trial in the lower court the fear
was expressed by many law -abid-
ing citizens that a jury could not
be found to convict. This fear
seems to have been felt by the
State, hence the extraordinary
and unusual methods In the Selec-
ton of the grand @ld petit juries.
On a trial under the regular
forms the accused may or not be
convicted, but that some one or
all of them is guilty of the Rankin
murder is generally believed, and
if, after a fair trial, either or all
should be adjudged guilty it is net
likely they will escape punishment.
The result of the appeal is but
another evidence of the unwisdom
of hurried trials of men accused
of crime in times of great popular
excitement. 1t is far better for
the courts to await the return of
reason, and then rule absolutely in
accordance with constitutional pro-
visions. Nashville American.

KENTUCKY TEACHERS

PER CAPITA IS NOW $500.

School teachers of Kentucky

school teachers will be S33. 33 and
the maximum S66.6 sc, as compared
with minimum of 1913 only two

Judge O'Rear'S Speech.

educational rally on July 3 and
consider ourselves fortunate in
having had that pleasure and the
benefit which came from hearing
his address.
We were as much surprised as
disappointed at the number of
those who attended that rally.
This town of Lexington is Gu
rious town. Some Gay it is going
to wake up. We hope we will be
here to see the awakening. But
by the Great J.hovah! 1t seems
to be sound asleep at the present
time. Villages with less than a
thousand inhabitants, country
school districts, the population of
which is scattered over a wide
area, evinced more interest in the
cause of education and furnished
larger audiences during the whirl-
wind campaign than did the city
of Lexington, though the meeting
at Lexington was held in the Au-
ditorium and addressed by Judge
O'Rear, who is one of the leading
lawyers, one of the highest
Judges, one of the most distin-
guished orators of Kentucky, and
seems today also to be the most
probable candidate of a great
party for the Governorship of
Kentucky.
In looking over the audience
which gathered at the Auditorium
Saturday night, we noted among
its members two lawyers, three
physicians, one minister, three
college professors, enc m a e
teacher in the public schools of
Lexington, and the Mayor of Lex
ington. But not a member of the
Board of Education, not school
trustee from the county, not a
member of the General Council,
not a member of the Fiscal Court,
not a member of the Judicial or
Legal departments of the city of
Lexington and che county of Fay
cite did we see.
We presume that no citizen at
all familiar with the conditions in
Kentucky will dispute the fact
that Kentucky's greatest need is
improvement in her educational
facilities. We doubt if any citi-
zen of Lexington will deny that
the public schools and colleges are
Lexington's most valuable asset,
and yet, strange as it seems, there
is but the most perfunctory inter-
est in the cause of education or in
the local institutions felt by the
great majority of the citizens of
Lexington. The knowledge and
interest is confined largely to the
women, who have not vote and
whose interest is sometimes re-
sented by us Lords of Creation"
who have the privilege of select
ing the public servants, who them
selves seem at times to be under
the misrepresentation that they are
masters instead of servants.
So excellent was Judge O'Rear's
address, presenting so clearly the
enormous tribute which Kentucky
pays to other States because of
the lack of training which it gives
its own children, the terrific dis
advantages under which the chill
dren of Kentucky suffer in COM
parison with the children of more
progressive and wiser States, that
we asked him to furnish it to us
for publication in full. which he
promised to do.-Lexington Her

BROUGHT BACK PAST DELIGHT
African Girls Primitive Instinct re
vived by Sight Of British o.
ficer in Uniform.

The story is told in Constantinople
of a pasha who bought an african
slave girl Of the Mangbatu trlbe-a
handsome creature with an lnky
black skin. At first she resolutely
refused to wear more clothes than
were the fashion in her native coun-
try. systematically tearing to pieces
all that were put on her. But at last
she was persuaded to wear them and
even went so far as to adopt the
vashnlak. saws writer in Every
bodv's. One day, while driving
along the quay at Therapia with the
two daughters of the house, she
cspicd the British military attache
in Khaki uniform, waiting for his
carriage in front of the British
summer embassy. At sight of the
officer she flew into the greatest ex-
citement, her eyes glistened and she
smacked her lips. THAT Is good,
very good y she gurgled, pointing at
the Englishman. "In my country
we eat them. Their flesh is very
white and tender. We cover them
with grease and roast them over a
slow fire, and when they are we'll
done we put the meat on bread and
eat it. Oh, it is perfectly delicious"
Presumably, in the course of an
African campaign, some unfortunate
army officer had fallen into the
hands of the Mangbatu-a tribe no.
torious for its cannibalism-and the
sight of the attaches uniform re-
minded her of the episode and re-
vived her cannibal instincts. Be
this as it may, the two girls were
frightened nearly out of their lives,
and on their return from their drive
hurriedly persuaded their father to
get rid of the man-eating slave.

ing the idea, the Press says: No
hospital problem is more difficult
than the task Of knowing the cir
cumstances Of patient before he
or she enters the hospital, and foi-
lowing the conyalescent with advice
and aid after leaving. Much dis
pensary work is wasted and ac-
complishes little for lack of seeking
patients at their homes and making
certain that the advice, treatment
and medicine given are not fruileSs
because of some harmful condition
at home that could be easily
changed" DR.. Neff and the Pres;
