heartily supporting candidates
for Speaker of the House and for
Prison Commissioner. 1t is true
that a member of the Board is a
candidate for reelection, yet the
people of Kentucky should select
his successor and the election
should not be dictated by Messrs.
Brown and McCutcheon, the
senior members of the Commits

In the Speakership's race the

responsibility and power to be
envied.
She may inspire her pupils to
get right down to bedrock and
work out a system or habit in
study that will make those pu-
pills powers in the land.
1t isn't quantity of subjects
that makes education, it is quail
ty of the facts studied, and the
thoroughness with which they
are mastered.
There is a wide spread demand
for the teaching of agriculture in
the rural schools and colleges.
That is as it should be, but hold
on a bit. Where are the teachers
coming from who can safely
handle these new subjects?
Never yet has the country school
been so well supplied with COM
petent teachers who can handle
these studies. How then expect
much real teaching on subjects
of which these town high
school girls have no knowledge?
1t is going to take some time to
prepare teachers for this work.
1t is not enough that they be
given agricultural textbooks.
They should be fitted for the
work in special schools, or from
actual experience. or a short
course in agriculture perhaps,
but with this new demand upon
their preparation will there suffi-
cent salaries to attract competent
teachers to the rural schools?
School consolidation is the one
thing that will help solve the
problem of better rural schools,
but the real solution of the sit
uation as it exists today is in TAX
ing enough personal interest
in the school to seethat if it is
made attractive, comfortable,
sanitary as to heat ventilation
and then insist on having a good
teacher and then above all a
good school, and pay well for
that kind. 1t is just the same
in church affairs, you get good
preacher if you pay enough for
there are other places that make
it worth while for preacher and
teacher to move. You would not
look for cheapest preacher and
expect much pulpit eloquence or
pastoral ability.
1t is a high tax the citizens of
a district pay when they spend
school funds for the cheapest
school teacher they can get, bet
ter pay more, be taxed more and
have something for the money.
TIE future of your boys and
girls depends upon the start they
get in the public schools. If full
of inspiration they dig out a good
education later; if discouraging
they lose interest in life and be-
come driftwood on society. Now
lets form a plan to create an in
terest in the home of the pupil.
Some children think they are 60
ing to school just simply because
it is school time and school is
going on and their parents tell
them they must go. But know
of some who never attend any
school. Now dear parents the
education of your children de-
ponds on their future good and
happiness, the crude material we
are working on today are the fut-
ure citizens of Kentucky, and
as modern time changes all things
we must change and get into the
educational current and float and
not drown. Get your childen in

Akron, Ohio.-Declaring that excess
sive freight rates are responsible for
the high cost of living, Ohio c. Bar
Der, the millionaire match magnate,
has sent letter to every member of
Congress demanding reforms.
In addition to the regulation of
freight rates, he demands that laws
be passed that will effectually limit
railroad and industrial capitalization.
He declares the freight business of
the railroads costs each family $S7
a year This latter, coupled with the
other earnings of the railroads, he as
serts, has boosted the average rail
road cost per family to S127 annually.
Barber starts his letter to the con-
gressmen with these three demands
What is the matter with America?
What is the matter with Congress?
why has the seat of government
been transferred to Wall street?"
Continuing, he says: Personally,

feits instantly the right to claim face
value for such capitalization in the
levying of a tax upon the American
public for the payment of dividends
upon this watered stock. And in this
offense the railroads always have set
the pace.
Conceived in the master minds of
Huntington, Morgan, Hill and Harri-
man, this policy has been worked out
to nicely. These clothed the scheme
in the pretty catch phrase of COM
munity of interests and cleveriy set
about to grab all the through trunk
lines of railroad from coast to coast.
They argued plausibly, and with
truth, that these trunk lines We're the

OF the United States are taxed in rail-
road rates to maintain the annual divi-

.Despite this tremendous stock wa
tering, the railway net earnings have
advanced steadily and the average
dividend rate has more than doubled
in the last fifteen years.
In 1894 the dividend rate was 1.66
per cent Last year it averaged S.6S
per cent. and the railroads earned
net income of sS52,153,2S0.
