Increased School Attendance.

The most encouraging sign of
progress in Kentucky is the won
derful increase of school attend
ance this year State Supt. Ham
lett informs us that the increase
is not less than twenty-five per
cent. This increase he says is
greater than the combined in
crease of the last ten years. Mr..
Hamlet says that this large in
crease of attendance is due to
the act of the last legislature
making the pay of the common
school teachers depend some
what upon the attendance at
school. AS is very we'll known
in Kentucky among the school
people the News has been advo-
eating this for a number of years
but could not get the Legislature
to pass it until Supt Hamlet
was elected. We believe that
under This provision of the law
and the new census measure,
which the editor of The News
drafted, that in ten years there
will be fewer illiterate white
children in Kentucky than any
state in the South. Nothing in
dicates progress more in a State
than stamping out illiteracy and
giving a good education to the
children.-E. Town News.

Fashion a Shy Bird.

Fashion is a shy bird, and an
observant critic has noticed that
tailors are not advising the frock
coat and fancy waistcoat, which
are becoming unpopular because
Mr.. Seldom was so dressed in
the dock. The passing of the
frock coat will be welcomed by
many, and by many who do not
remember the execution of Mrs.
Manning in 1849, who swung in
black satin, and made that mate
rial questionable for many
years. There is an opening for
reformers who wish to change
the fashions and are willing to
go to the stake for their belief.
One can foresee a woman who
will commit a murder in order to
be hanged in a hobble skirt, so
that there shall be no more hob
bic skirts in the fashionable
world. And the enthusiastic
vegetarian might kill some other
donkey and die in leather boots,
with the idea of bringing vegeta-
BILE boots into fashion. There
are many possibilities for the re-
formers who will consent to
wear the wrong clothes on the
right occasion. London Chron-
icle.

Best Man Being Called,

The fact that Oscar Straus, of
New York, was nominated for
Governor by the Progressives by
reclamation and without being a
candidate for office goes to show
that political parties are now
seeking their best men to put
them forward for office. No
other kind deserve to win and
the time has now arrived when
no other kind can win. 1t is uni
versally admitted that the Pro-
gressive party in New York has
been very much str enlightened by
the nomination of Mr.. Straus
and that is because he is one of
the best and cleanest men in the
State. 1t is this fact which call
ed out a tribute for him from
Woodrow Wilson. His nomina-
ton has forced both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties to
look around for their very best
men tie nominate against him.
They both know that they will
lose votes if they nominate for
Governor men below the stand
ard of Oscar Straus. 1t is a
happy augury of better politics
when the best men command the
largest support and the time is
rapidly coming when no party
can win with a bad man, -Etown

The Plug.

Don't make fun of the plug.
He may be slow and awkward
and never get to the stable until
dark, but he is the fellow who
in the end will bring home the
coin, says Bert Walker. The
plug borse that pulls all day in
the field puts more money in the
bank for the honest farmer than
the race horse that goes out anG
turns half in 0.48 flat and then
loafs for two weeks waiting for
another race to be matched.
The old plug goes out in the sun
shine and storm and pulls in 2
few dollars each week, but the
race horse waits for the day
when the track is good and then
generally loses more than he
wins. The steady old plug keeps
the wolf from the door, while
the race horse causes mortgage
to be foreclosed. Just so with
the man. Pin your faith to the
plug who keeps eternally at it.
the fellow who gets up every
morning and does so much, ana
is ready to do it again next day.
He lays up more shining dollars
in the bank than the swift sport
who lies around all summer wait
ing for luck to come along anG
turn a stream of silver into his
pocket. One cackling Plymouth
Rock hen is worth a dozen
screaming eagles when it comes
to paying off the mortgage. The
plug is the fellow who steadies
the ship and acts as ballast when
the boat begins to rock. The
plug is the fellow who leaves his
family in comfortable circum-
stances.

Wilson Replies to 8everidee.

Chicago, Sept. 16-Through
Ohio and Indiana Gov. Wilson
did some impromptu campaigning
today that was as vigorous as it
was unexpected.
He replied to former Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, who
charged in a recent speech that
Gov. Wilson, if elected. would be
boss controlled.
L understand that in a>speech
made last Saturday night, said
Gov. Wilson, "a very much es-
teemed friend of mine, namely,
Senator Beveridge, said that he
entertained very serious fear
about me, namely, that if | were
elected President ] would be con-
trolled by the bosses. l. never
supected before that Senator
Beveridge was humorist; be-
cause if he did not know that
was a joke be ought to have
known it. When did he ever
hear that | had changed all my
political habits?
The way you can tell whether
man is going to be controlled
by the bosses or not is to judge
whether he is in reach of a boss
or not. Do you know what q
boss is? A boss is a politica
agent of certain special interests

Absence of Business Fright.

1t is an obvious and gratifying
fact that the country is not the
least disturbed over the probable
outcome of the Presidential cleo
zion. Do what they may in pre-
dieting dire results, the calamity
hOWlers cannot create even a
ripple of excitement over what
may ensue in the event of Dem
Ocratic triumph. In the past the
alarm has been needed when it
looked as though the Democrats
were going to win. and the fear
of a change has turned victory
into defeat, but now we hear no
dreadful predictions about a
Democrtic administration running
the country. Though the Repub-
lican party is all but out of COM
mission, and the triumph of the
Democrats seems inevita b lie,
there prevails spirit of content
ment and satisfaction in business
and financial circles indicating
there is no fear of the result.
All the parties and candidates
agree that the tariff must be re-
vised downward, and though
this is certain to be done, man.
ufacturers are fiourishing, and
all who want to work can get a
job. In the face of the feet that
one OF the presidential candi-
dates is looked on by his ardent
supporters as the only man In
America who can save the coun-
try and preserve the peoples
rights, and the odds against his
election are very great the bus

Islanders of St. Kilda, in the
Atlantic, off the coast of Scot
land, were saved from privation
last spring by the arrival of the
British cruiser with stores.
They were more fortunate than
the colony of fisher folk on the
arctic island of Nova Zembla in
1911. For ten months it has
been impossible to open up COM
munications with the island, and
when at last a steamer arrived
with provisions every one of the
inhabitants was dead of starva-
ton. The last man to die had
left a penciled message telling
how the wool from the clothing
had been eaten, and that two
men who ate of the flesh of their
dead companions died. All the
children were dead and only two
women and three men beside
himself left alive. A tragic post

are put in office and that laws
they don't want are kept off the
statute books: and the men who
do that are men who are inter-
ested in the great monoplies of
this country.
Il am sorry to observe that
whereas the Republican party
has practically fostered the
trusts and the Democratic party
proposes to prevent monopoly in
this country, the third party, re-
presented by Senator Beveridge,
proposes to take the monopoly
into partnership with the Govern
ment by accepting it as an in
evitable necessity and bringing
it under the regulation of law !;
that is to say, making it a lega-
liked institution of the country.
And when the men who have
created monopoly are accepted
partners of the Government, do
you suppose they are going to
dispense with the men who are
their necessary agents, namely,
the bosses, who determine who
are to occupy office and what the
legislation is to be-"

Painting Pictures Under the Sea.

An artist has lately found q
way of painting under the sea.
He goes down in a divers suit,
to which air is supplied through
a tube and other apparatus and
there with heavy oiled paper and
paints he makes quick sketches
of what he sees. He has painted
a picture of fishes that have fins
so large that they are like the
wings of butterflies and make
the queer creatures appear 10 be
flying through the strange green
gloom of the water. Sometimes
it seems as if many of the fairy
stories are actually coming true
in every day life. When the
Frenchman, Jules Verne. wrote
his fanciful story called "Twen
ty Thousand Leagues Under the
Sea-" no one supposed that any
thing like that could ever really
come to pass, and yet the divers
and submarine boats nowadays
have made such a voyage almost
an ordinary occurrence, though
perhaps. no boat has yet descend
ed quite so deep as Verne fancied
n or has travelled quite so far.

1t was not Barnes and Penrose

done by Theodore Roosevelt.
1t was not Barnes and Pen

to bring the machinery of the

Vote Selling.

A vote selling probe has been
going on in Letcher county with
the result that about fifty-five
citizens who are said to have
been voting for a consideration
have been indicted by the grand
jury, and will subsequently have
to explain their actions before
the circuit court. The investiga-
ton is to be continued, and it is
expected that others will be
caught in the dragnet. Vote
sellers ought to be punished and
incidentally, lot of them are be-
ing punished in different parts
of the country, but has anybody

u. 5. Plans Good.

The Federal Government will
soon undertake, with the CO.
operation of local authorities, a
unique experiment in road build
ing in Kentucky. This expert
mental work is made possible by
provision in the Post office APP
preparation Bill which passed
Congress at the close of the re-
cent session setting aside $780,
900 to be expended by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture. in co-opera-
ton with the Postmaster Gener-
al, Sin improving the condition
of roads to be selected by them
over which rural delivery, is, or
may hereafter be, established. "
Acting with the approval of
Secretary Wilson and Postmast-
er General Hitchcock, Logan w.
Page, director of the Office of
Puplic Roads of the Department
of Agriculture, already has be-
gun to map out a plan for distri-
buting the appropriation, which
will embody the policy that
eventually will control all dis
bursements.
In the first place the Office of
Public Roads will cost $4,000 to
each State in the Union, reserv-
ing about $4,000 for future main.
tenance in each State, 1t is be-
lieved that $4,000 will enable
each State to put in first class
condition perhaps two post roads,
or to improve one rural delivery
road properly. The routes to be
experimental with will be select
ed by the local authorities.
A letter will be sent to Gov.
McCreary informing him that a
certain sum, probably 81, 900 i'm
mediately available for the i'm
provements of post roads in Ken
lucky, under this new legisla-
ton, and it is expected that the
Governor, after consultation with
the highway authorities, will Sc
lect the routes to be treated and
notify the director of the Office
of Public Roads in Washington
what has been done.
This plan has been devised be-
cause it is believed that it will
avoid involving the Government
in the politics of making select
ions and will relieve Senators
and Representatives from much
pulling and hauling.

BROWN breaches COUNCIL
SERMON.

Rev. John B. Brown, rector of
Christ Episcopal church, left, yester-
day for Jacksonville to attend the
state council of the church which
meets in that city Wednesday morn
ing. The council was held in Pensa-
cola last year and it was a most sue
cessful session.
Bishop Weed has completed his
twenty fifth year of service as bishop
oe the diocese of Florida last year.
and for that reason the session was
enc of unusual interest.
Mr.. Brown will preach the council
sermon in Jacksonville tomorrow and
X is a compliment to Pensacola as
well as to Mr.. Brown that he was
chosen.
The work of the Episcopal church in
Florida is being extended in many
ways and 1T is thought that plans
for a further extension of the work
In Florida will be made at the council
sessions in Jacksonville.
