ROAD MAKING COURSES.

The Kentucky State University is
giving a ten weeks course in road
making. Each county judge in the
state is authorized to send two men
from his county to the state univer-
sity to learn road making.
Road making is a science-what
useful branch of knowledge isn't?
We have courses in foresty, in home
economics. in poultry husbandry, in
apiaries and numerous other practical
subjects. Road making is more i'm
portant than most of these sciences.
Transportation is a mighty factor in
the cost of commerce. The econo-
mic side of good and bad roads has
never been faced until recent years.
II a farmer can haul so bushels of
corn to town over a good road in the
same time it would take him to haul
25 bushels over bad roads. he has
to do very little figuring before he
can see just how essential are good
roads.
Under the time-honored poll tax
system men in the country worked

Pupils i'm Grade Schools Are Working
in the Campaign.
The Red Cross Stamp sale is
simply wonderful" says Mrs. Walter
McNab Miller. who has charge of the
sale in Columbia. THE most sur
prising feature about it is the way
the grade school pupils are working,
they have more than 10000 stamps
out now and there are only $4,000 to
sell in Columbia"
Next Thursday all the money TAX
en- in and all the unsold stamps
among the school children will be
taken up. The sale of the stamps
however will last up to New Years
Day. The Delta Gamma sorority
which had charge Of the sale at the
postoffice yesterday sold three hun
dred and one stamps.
Today the Kappa Kappa Gammas
had charge of the sale, tomorrow the
Kappa Alpha Thetas will have charge
and Saturday the Pi Phis will close
the sale among the sororities. Next
week different churches, lodges and
societies will be represented at the
pOstOffice. Some day the tuberculo-
sis nurse will be in charge"

cut their poll tax on the roads. Fiji
teen or twenty men with their teams
would get together and work the
roads,. Generally there was no at
tention paid to drainage or any other
engineering problems connected
with road building. In a short time
the roads drift back to the former
condition.
A course in road making offers an
opportunity for few men from each
county to study under experts. These
men will go back home and introduce
scientific road building into their
county. There is no infection that
spreads quicker than the infection of
the good roads spirit. 1t looks as
if Kentucky is not so slow.

AMERICAS MURDER RECORD.

For every hour of the day and
night, for every day of the year, a
murder is done in the United States"
There were S.975 homicides last
year. The average is ten times that
cf England.
Fewer than one assassin in eighty
went to the gallOws. Fewer than one
in ten went to the penitentiary.
In England not per cent of con-
victions are reversed. In America
nearly so per cent have been re-
versed. In England a speedy trial
is the rule. In America it is so un-
usual as to attract national notice.
Due process of law" has run
rough-shOd over decency and right.
The records seem to indicate that JUS
tice is too largely matter of influ-
ence and money.
Do you wonder that President Taft
characterizes the administration of
criminal law in America as a disgrace
to our civilization?
Is it no dishonor that the legal
profession does not make a concerted
and mighty effort to blot out this
diSRrace2

THE CHRISTMAS TIME CROWD.

There is no crowd to compare
with the Christmas crowd. The foot
ball crowd, the baseball crowd, the
race crowd and the bargain-sales
crowd all have their interesting fea-
lures, but they are all easily dis
tinguished. Facial expression and in
dividual action are marked in every
one of them.
The football crowd swaying their
bodies with the play and pulsing with
outlandish noise, the baseball crowd
tanning themselves languidly in the
bleachers and stung to sudden inter-
est when the spat of bat or ball is
heard, the race crowd eager at the
start and straining to see the finish
as the horses rush by, and the cram,
squeeze and jam of the women in the
bargain sales crowd, all lack the
spirit which characterizes the Christ
mas crowd. That Is the spirit of
good will to all mankind. 1t has
softening influence
There is no hurry in this crowd.
Women and children are content to
roam dreamily up and down between
long rows of gift laden counters, or
gaze at the decorated shop windows
as they pass along the street. Over
and over in their minds they are re-
volving plans to make someone else
happy. In this crowd there is hardly
a single thought of self. Different
from the others, there is the same
pervading spirit that overcomes all
differences of class The Golden Rule
becomes the universal law and hu-
manity is content.

A monkey-faced owl has been cap
tured in cave near San Antonio and
|ormthologists have been asked to tell
them what it is. Any cowboy who has
had much experience on the Western
ranges could do that. The following
description leaves no doubt as to what
1t is in the mind of anyone who has
seen a specimen: The strange Gre
AZURE resembles a monkey as well as
an owl. 1t is half covered with feath-
ers and half with fur, but 1t has wings,
which are Of a brownish color. The
legs are covered with hair. The most
striking feature about the bird Is the
head and face. It has hooded heart
shaped arrangement of feathers and
fur that so closely resembles a mon
keys face that this is believed to ac-
count for its name"

guage in public addresses" This was
done, it is said, with the intention of
curbing the vocabulary of Billy" Sun
day, the evangelist, who has been en-
gagged by Wheeling churches to open
a religious campaign in that city next
week. But it should be borne in mind
that such prostitutions of the pulpit
are not approved by the great body

FiENDIsH SPORT.

The editor of The Eagle received
reliable information late yesterday
afternoon of most shocking and bar
barous act of cruelty that is alleged
to have taken place at or near bust
ness house in this city. Our informant
says that a full grown white man and
a negro boy were burning live rats in
wire trap. The boy, 1t seems, held
the trap while the man lit and burned
a newspaper under it. Both, it is al
legged, laughed heartily at the with
ings Of the tortured animals.
The names of the perpetrators of
this piece of fiendish cruelty have not
been given to the editor, but no doubt
can be ascertained without difficulty.
There Is a law on the statute book of
Texas prohibiting wanton cruelty to
animals, and 1t seems to us that it
ought to be invoked in such cases as
this.
How any human being can take
pleasure in torturing poor, helpless
dumb animals is beyond comprehen-
sion. Rats are natural enemies Of
man and ought to be exterminated,
but he who causes unnecessary suf
fering to any living creature has the
heart of a savage and should not be
tolerated in a civilized community.
Such wretch pollutes the air he
breathes, and in order to prevent
moral contamination every man, wom-
an and child should join in sentence
of condemnation against him. There
is reason in the Buddhist doctrine of
Karma, according to which in the next
incarnation the wretches who perpe-
trated the atrocity yesterday will be
