There is a gratifying development
among right-thinking, ciean-living peo-
pie against the intolerable vulgarism of
the comic supplement. They naturally
feel that all their efforts to bring up
their children in the right way are in a
measure nullified by the coarseness and
even brutality of the comic supplement
1t has absolutely nothing to recommend
It, except that its bright colors attract
the children. When it was first started
sut with Buster Brown there was much
wit, humor and proper feeling. but the
success of that publication has brought
about host of rough, clumsy imitators
whose productions are not even good
horse play. They teach the child worse
lessons even than he can learn from the
little hoodlums on the street.

THE COLONY.

The preliminary work in the matter
of the colony has taken longer than we
expected, SO that we are disappointed
this week in not being able to give fuii
and definite information in regard to
MANY things. We are strongly in hopes
that the preparations Will be So ao-
yanced that by next week We shall be
able to crafty our readers very natural
curiosity and interest by a full state
ment. All that we can say this week Is
that matters are being pushed forward
with all the urgency that the case de-
mands. and that nothing is being left
-undone to get the colony matter in the
most satisfactory shape.

1t is quite graceful and proper for
Canada to think of contributing one or
two battleships to the British navy.
Canada. while remaining a part Of the
great British Empire, has in one way
or another slipped off all the burdens of
defense on the Empire. Yet in case of
war Canada would be very vulnerable
tack of an enemy would be directed
against her. The British Government
recognizes this, and there have been
several suggestions. not to say PROPOSE
tons, that in the event of a general war
the defense of Canada would be in
could probably lake care of herself on
land against any force which a Euro
pean Nation could send across the
ocean, but on the sea it would be a very
different matter. and British warships
would have to protect Canadian forts
and commerce. AT the same time bat
tieships cost great deal of money, and
with her scant population and resources
the building of one battleship would be
a severe tax upon the Canadian treas
ury. The latest census gives Canada a
population of less than 5000. 900, so
that to build any sort of a warship
would come near costing about 81 for
every CanaGian-man, woman and
child-in the bominion. AS the Cana
dian revenue is only $4,000. 900 a year.
a first-class battleship would take at
least one-tenth lof all the money it
raises. - =da

The railroads of Ohio are acting up
as badly with regard to other organiza-
tions as to the G. A. r. The Ohio State
Fair is one of the great events of the
year, and heretofore the railroads nave
made very low rates to Columbus. Now,
in pursuance OF their policy to make
railroad regulation obnoxious. they have
refused TO make any concession beyond
the regulation two-cent-a-miie rate i'm
posed by law. The State Railroad Com
mission, the Governor of the State and
the Board of Agriculture are to have a
meeting to consider the matter.

Temporary Gate.

In an irrigating country 1t is often
times necessary to take down a fence
to avoid ditch or lateral when driv.
ing to or from field. If this road is
used only a part of the year, or oc.
casionally, 1t does not pay to construct
a permanent gate. A temporary gate,
which will cost only few cents, can
be constructed in the following man.
ner: Loosen the wires on three or
four posts. depending on the tight
ness of the wires. Then drive two
staples about onehalf inch apart
parallel to the wire and to each other
where the staples were formerly
driven in the post Place spike at
the bottom of each of the two center
posts. The wire can then be hooked
under these spikes and will be held
close to the ground so it it is easy to
drive over. When the fence is to be
closed place the wires between the
parallel staples and then run nail
through both staples and outside of
the wire.

DIRECTORY.
Kentucky.

According to the last census Ken
lucky has a population of 2,147,174.
TIE area is 4O,40O square miles;
400 Of which is water. The streams
within the State, as a rule head in the
Southeast and flow in Northwesterly
direction; this fact retarded the con-
struction of railroads and the devel-
opn,ent of our resources for many
years.
The early railroads were built from
the East and went over the more
level territories North of the Ohio
River and South of the Cumberland
Mountains. In those days there was
only a limited demand for coal and
lumber. Now that the demand has in
creased. 1t would seem that
a kind providence has held in
reserve our almost inexhaustible util-
tiles until a time when they are most
needed by the country. Our supply
of timber is limited, but there is
enough to last for many years to
come.
We have coal area of over fifteen
thousand square miles. Other min
erals await development.
Natural gas and oil, in paying
quantities are being developed in
many localities.
There are no more bad people in
Kentucky than in other States in pro-
portion to population. Good people
regardless of politics or religion, are
always welcome.
