a subordinate place as an ocean flyer

on both sides of the North sea there is

The Larue County Herald puts
it about right when it says: The
Kentucky General Assembly is
turning out new laws as rapidly
as the machinery will permit. It
is undoubtedly true that the leg
islature has in it m e m b e r S
of good material and it is like
wise true that it has members
that could do something else
more acceptably to the State. 1t
is regretted that at every session
of the legislature there is a lot
of members who are wont to
puncture the atmosphere with
their eloquence and it costs the
State pile of money for them
to make their display of oratory.
All in all, we may have some
good legislation, but the less we
have the better. The making Of
too many new laws is the sin of
all State legislatures.
