fair Play for the Counties

Since the greatest resource OF
the State is its citizenship, the
greatest asset of the State in an
educated citizenship.
In Kentucky the bulk of citi-
zenship is to be found outside the
cities. By strange lack of APP
probation of an existing condition,
the cities only are empowered to
make full provision for their edu-
cational needs. The counties ore
not.
To place the counties On an
footing with the cities in working
out a problem which affects the
State, there has been introduced
in the House by Mr.. Reed, of
Mason county, and in the Senate
by Senator Frost, a bill giving to
counties the right to bond them
selves for school purposes. The
exercise of this right is wholly
optional. Before it can be exer-
cised, two hundred and fifty house
holders must petition for a vote
on a bond issue. The vote must
receive a constitutional majority.
The expenditure of the moneys
received, if bonds are voted, is
left to a bipartisan, non-salarled
bond commission, the Fiscal Court
and the County Board of Educa-
ton constituting a system of checks
and balances.
If the measure becomes law, no
county will be called on to spend
dollar for this purpose unless its
householders and voters so choose.
| In such counties as desire to i'm
prove their school system, every
safeguard is provided for dollars
worth of benefit for every dollar
expended.
In brief, the measure proposes
to give to every county the right o.
self help in a matter of vital con
: Germ to its best interests. Th'
County which enters on the enjoy
! ment of that right will be pro
tected. The county that does no
will stand still, by virtue of it
own choice.
The measure should pass bot
: houses without dissenting vote

The SlanderOuS Woman.

If anyone would hint to the
woman, whose slanderous tongue
has done so much harm to the rep
utations of many girls, that she is
cruel, narrow. minded and vicious,
she would Indignantly deny the
charge, for in her own estimation
she is one of the most gentle and
best of her sex. A woman with
the serpent's tongue seldom has
the courage to speak her mind
when face to face with an oppo-
nent. This scandal-monger fights
from ambush, striking her victims
down with her venomous inslnua-
tions. What cares she whether
the statements with which she en-
tertains her associates be true or
mere gossip. This lovely lady is
not the only woman in our midst
who will spend the afternoon at a
friends home, sit down at her ia
BILE to enjoy the dainties provided
for her refreshment, kiss her hos
tess goodbye, and Immediately
after leaving the house, will tear
the reputation of the woman she
has lust left and her daughters to
shreds to the first person she meets.
No one is safe from her slanderous
tongue. The report that Mrs. So
and-So is untrue to her husband
is spread because she CHANGED to
see her speaking to a man, not re-
lated to her. Miss A. dresses

Has education given you sympa-
thy with all good causes and made
you espouse them2
Has it made you philosophical
Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them? Do you
know what it is to be friend your

pure woman in the eye? Do you
see anything to love in little child 7

trash. Country life could be

man of the committee representing the
Original Garfield Association, Is also in
communication with the general commit

list Church. took up the subject Of the
clean city campaign" prior to his ser
mon. He urged the cooperation of his
auditors with the movement.
II regret exceedingly that we have to
have cleaning up every year, but since
it seems to be necessity let US unite IN
our efforts to make the city clean IN
every respect"
Rev. Dr.. W. r. Wedderspoon, at the
conclusion of his sermon yesterday morn
ing at the Foundry M. E. Church, heart
lily Endorsed the city cleaning inaugural
ed by The Star, and urged bis congrega-
ton to do its share toward making the
campaign far-reaching.
He appealed to each member to do his
individual share in keeping his yard. or
his adjoining vacant lot, or street
ton. and called attention to the diseases
caused by insanitary conditions In many
sections Of the city
Calls Streets Disgrace.
Rev. Joseph F. MCGEE. in sermon
yesterday morning at the Shrine Of the
Sacred Heart (Catholic) Church. strongly
Endorsed city cleaning week. and made
a vigorous appeal to the residents OF
Washington to make the National Capt.
tai cleaner and more slightly city.
He declared that civic pride alone
should teach each resident Of Washington
to act as q committee or one TO see
that his own street front or neighborhood
is kept clean.
Each resident of Washington he
declared, should take personal pride In
the appearance OF the National Capital
and unite in making 1t the most beauti-
ful, II not the most sanitary, city In the
country. If a person will. from time to
time. remember that he has share In
the cleaning up it would take very lit
tie time and very little trouble.
Visitors to the city. DR.. Wedderspoon
said, cannot fail to notice the unsightly
conditions which certainly should not pre-
vail in the capital Of the country.
Not only are the city streets in many
sections of the city a disgrace to the
community. Father MCGEE said, but peo-
pie carelessly throw paper and other
refuse into the streets and lots without
hesitation.
He declared that 1t was the intention Of
the planners of the city to make Wash
ington the most beautiful Of capital cities,
while contractors and builders today are
trying to defeat this end by the thought
less way they construct buildings In
many Of the suburban districts of the
city. Little thought is given to the archi-
tectural effect Of houses. he declared,
and in many parts Of the city houses and
other buildings are so near the sidewalk
that the whole effect of the street Is
spoiled. In numerous cases, he said, such

buildings are constructed right up to the
limit of the building line and not on
line with other constructions IN the same
block.
"By thoughtfulness and personal pride
in Washington its residents can do much
toward making Washington more
beautiful city," he said. LET every one
remember that the streets and the vacant
lots and even the back yards are not the
proper place for the indiscriminate throw
ing Of waste"
Effect Of Christ's Coming.
Speaking before his congregation in
Shiloh Baptist Church, colored, Rev. J..
Milton Waldron, the pastor asserted that
wherever practical Christianity is
taught and practiced there you will find
clean streets. clean alleys, clean cellars.
clean back yards. we'll lighted streets.
pure water, parks. comfortable houses
and honest men and women. When Christ
comes into life there you will have
holiness: when Christ comes into a home
there heaven begins; when Christ comes
into a city the New Jerusalem comes
down from God, and clean city crusade
begins
why have a clean city crusade? We
answer: In order to improve environ
ment. Men are seldom better than their
surroundings; a filthy city will make a
filthy people.
"A clean city crusade is a good thing
because it tends to break down selfish
ness. and sets people to working for the
good Of others as well as for their own
good: it engenders civic pride and puts
more Of heaven into Washington.

do no better than by getting on the job
in his own home, and then get his neigh

physician to the body, as we'll as the
