DON'T BE CONTENT WITH AN
UGLY FARMHOUSE
. A few days ago, while driving through
the country, passed an old weather
beaten, tumble-down farmhouse and build
ings, props and stays were resorted to

quiry | learned that this farmhouse was
the center of activity for prosperous

the man of affairs on this farm had a
bank account of several hundred thouS-
and dollars.

Just recently installed a water supply in
his farmhouse His account of the cost
and the labor interested me very much,

attention. He said, 81 have less money

These and other like incidents lead me
to the conclusion that we are not doing
our best with respect to these farm homes.
The farm buildings are silent teachers,
impressing us and the young people grow
ing up within their boundaries mors
strongly than we realize.

rocks. the scraps Of waste lumber, the
wornout machinery that has so long stood
in the weather, all may at least be cleared
away, and tree or two, vine or two,
added to the home grounds. But /
have faith that more than this will be ac-
complished that in some places we shall
find a bath room added, that the leak

THE RIPPER BILL"
Something About the Famous
Measure Which Aroused
Kentucky Legislature.

The c1wling Green Messenger says:
The closing moments of the late
General Assembly witnessed the de-
feat of what has been generally
termed the "Rppicr Bill" This has
been held up to the country constitu-
ency as a veritable raw-head and
Gloody-bones to scare the children in
to bed before the cuTfew bell rang.
The measure passed both houses and
was vetoed by the Governor. The
House promptly OVERRIDE the Cover
nors veto, but in the Senate, the
vote WAS tic, and the Republican
Lieutenant Governor united it III ia
vor of the present incumbent of the
office of city attorney of Louisville.
The whole affair was too inconse-
quential to merit the prominence Civ
en- it by the press. 1t is not of suffi-
Client importance to justify any Demo-
crat to bolt because the Democratic
mayor of Louisville wanted a city ad-
wiser of his own choosing. That is all
there was to it. The city attorney of
Louisville is chosen for term of four
years, and his term lapses over about
three years into the term Of any new
administration. The first mistake was
made by the Louisville Democrats
when they had the law changed to
hold in a good official and Demo-
crat through a Republican admin
istration, so they've got no more
than is coming to them in their
present defeat.
But it's not of sufficient lmpor-
tance for any man to change his
politics. 1t is well for every man
to practice the golden rule in bust
ness as well as in politics, but it
is just as essential that the other
fellow practice the golden rule on
you. Turning the other cheek IL all
right in theory, but it doesn't hold
well in a government of give and
take. Let every Democrat remember
that what the Louisville Democrats
tried to do, the Louisville Repub-
licans would have done with interest
