Can Kentucky marvel when she

Washington, d. e.. July 29-For

preparations for the coming Of Ad-
mIral Count Heihachiro Togo, chlos

hero Of the great sea fight Of MAY

York and its environs. He is expect
ed to arrive in Washington on Aug
ust where he will spend three or
four days. During his stay in the cap
ital he will be dined at the white
house and by Secretary of State Knox
and Secretary of the Navy Meyer.
The admiral will be taken to Mt.
Vernon on the presidential yacht
"Mayflower" where he will deposit a
wreath on the tomb of Washington
and will also be shown over the In
dian Head (Md) naval proving
grounds. Annapolis will furnish side
trip and there the admiral will be
given a glimpse of the alma mater of
many of his brothers in arms, for
Annapolis furnished educations for
more than a score of the higher Off
GERS of the Japanese navy.
From Washington Admiral Togo
will visit Philadelphia and Boston and
from that city he will journey to Mia
CARA Falls where he will cross inro
Canada and it is doubtful If he will
again enter the United States as his
present plan calls for his westward
trip over the Canadian Pacific rail
way.
Admiral Togo's rank is that of a
full admiral. In this he parallels Ad-
miral George Dewey. Therefore when
he visits any of the military or naval
posts of the United States he will be
accorded the honors of the highest
naval rank including the salute OF sew
enteen guns.

PEOPLES FORUM
THE UNEMPLOYED.

TO Nhe Ardmorelte
The problem of the unemployed is
not new one, though comparatively
new in our country. Away back in
the dawn of civilization, it is told
that a rich man came upon lot OF
men doing nothing, and asked, "Why
stand We here idle all the day And
they answered, because no man has
hired us" 1t is a common thing now
TO hear thOughtless people say tha;
there is no need of any ahle-bodied
man or woman who is willing to
work. being out of a job This is re-
peated 50 often that many people
take il for the truth. But it is not
true. There are, of course, many lazy
thriftless people who will not work
if they can help it, but there are also
many honest, well meaning men and
women, who can not find profitable

this it would help 10 solve the prob
lem.
Many people appear cruel, when
they are only thoughtless or misin-
formed, and give pain, where if they
knew the facts, they would lend a
he,piue hand. At the beginning OF
that terrible period known as the
French Revolution. it was related OF
the beautiful French Queen that when
told the common people We're with
out bread, she remarked: why don't
they eat cake" This was perhaps a
falsehood invented by her enemies,
but it later cost her her head.
We often hear thoughtless peop,e
say now, when men are asking for
work, "Why don't they go to the
country and farm This remark is
almost as cruel as Marie Antoin-
cites witticism about eating cake, Il
would be Just as sensible to ask,
"Why don't they go to New York
and start bank" Or "W'hy don I

1t takes money to go into the farm
ing business, and hired help on the
farm is the most cheerlessand poorest
paid labor in the world.
We noticed the other day a card
on the door of a nearly finished Ard
more residence bearing these words
in large letters, mo HELP WANT
ED-KEEP OUT What did this
mean? Though rather blunt and un-
feeling it did not necessarily mean
that the contractor was heartless

was proof that there We're people
willing to work who did not have

the duty of this contractor to give
