"Mr. President:
Tie subject assigned me is one
that l delight TO discuss, though
some of my audience may think
me visionary or dreamy. Indeed
l plead guilty to the charge rn
the indictment. But don't foxget
that many ancient WORTHLESS were
thus accused, and honored later
for their foreknowledge. That
some of these dreams foreshadowed
coming events as true as JOseph's
Of old. is evidenced by the bud
ding interest in the stone, lime
and cement industries of our
county.
The Governments report on
the soils OF Rockcastle show il to
be a fair average agricultural
county, and need only modern
methods to be made a valuable
asset.
The assertion that much of the
lands in and around Mt. Vernoa
contains millions of tons of
understandable material may sound
"6shy" to manv peoples neve1-
the-less, this is simple statement
of fact. Think Of ST. caIbonates
and silicates stacked in stratified

road at the foot. where everything

ANYTHING SUGGESTIVE IN
THIS FOR YOU, MIR, SOCIAL
IST?

The thankless task of advising peo-
pie to register If they wish to partici-
pate in the coming school election is
again at hand. Thus far registration
has been very slight-smaller than for
years. This is due to the fact that
the school election is the only con-
test that will be held this year. There
has been no other election to add its
influence in inducing registration.
The days of the last chances" for reg
istration will soon be here, to be taken
advantage of only with Inconvenience
to the belated voter, or to be ignored
to his regret when election day ar
rives. 1t is peculiar but true that
often the least interest is taken in our
most important elections. None is
more important than school election.
Here, if nowhere else, the choice
should represent the decision of the
majority of the voters of the city.
otherwise, as is the case in some other
communities, we will have dis
gruntled and sad majority suffering
from the dictation of an aggressive
and triumphant minority. - Everett

Socialist SCHOOL DIRECTORS GAINING new FRIENDS
MANY BABIES DIE BECAUSE
CITIES ARE STINGY.

That the cities of the United States
are economizing in the support of their
health departments at the expense of
the lives of babies is the conclusion
drawn from statistics compiled by the
children's bureau of the department of
labor. The figures applying to the
city of Chicago show the following
facts:
OF the 55,197 babies born in Chi
cago during the 12-month period for
which figures are available, 1854 died
before they were a year old. 8
OF the 239,SS7 children under five
years of age, 10,120 died during the
same period.
OF 192,1O5 children between five and
nine years of age, 81 died.
OF 186,259 children between 10 and
IA years of age, 44O died.
OF 2O9,174 children between Is and
10 years of age, 500 died.
The high death rate of babies under
one year of age in Chicago becomes
more apparent when it is compared
with the rate in New Zealand, the low
est in the world. There only 6S babies
in every 1000 die before they reach
the age of one year.
If Chicago could do as we'll as New
Zealand, of the 122 babies that die out
of the 1000 born, 81 could be saved.
This would be cutting the present
death rate nearly in half.
Miss Julia Lathrop, the head of the
children's bureau, points out that this
high infant mortality is coincident
with parsimonious treatment of the
work of health departments through
out the country. This high death rate
of babies is wholly unnecessary.
The bureau calls especial attention
to two facts:
1. One-fifth of all the mortality in
the country is that of babies under
one year of age.
2. Under present conditions, new
born baby and an old man of 80 have
about equal chance to live out the
year. Z
1t is then pointed out that "the prin-
cipal impediment to efficient work in
the health department of most cities
is the lack of adequate funds either
to pay a suitable salary to the health
officer or to provide means of carry
ing on preventive measures intelligent
