low threatened to gazette" him as a
coward. We'll, go ahead would

ksntuoky,s Boys, Corn Clubs.

The Boys Corn club movement is
only two years old in this state, and
vet big things have been accomplished.
The Corn club boys, several thousand
OF them, are enthusiastic; but better
than enthusiasm are the results that
have come from the work.
When the state champions met in
washington this winter with the ex-
perts who had charge of the work in
the various states, there was naturally
n feeling of intense rivalry. Twelve Of
the southern states that had been push
ing the Boys Corn club idea for sew
eral years, had records OF, 4l2 boys that
had grown over 100 bushels ON an acre
Alabama and Georgia each had over
100 boys with this record TO their cred

organized for club work for the past
eight years. 1t is very gratifying to he
able TO write that Kentucky, with an
organization of only two years, made n
splendid record, FlftI-seyen boys In
Kentucky this past season grew over
100 bushels of corn to the acre. How
many adult farmers did that well?

for him to quit the use Of tobac-
co, swearing, Icing cheating,
bullying, being impudent, on any
bad habits that he may have
contracted by reason of any neg
lect or association, then give him
a written permit to join this
movement Saturday night. Then
if he can qualify, he will be en-
rolled as a Tenderfoot in which
he must serve at least one month
before he can be advanced to the
degree of a Third Class Scout,
and after one months service as
a third class Scout, he must pass
a rigid examination and satisfy
the Scoutmaster that he is quail
fed before he will be advanced
to the degree Of Second Glass
Scout. Then if he can pass the
required examination he may
finally succeed in being advanced
to the high degree os a first class
Scout.
Think this over, and decide for
the good Of your boy. He must
be at least twelve years old be-
fore he is eligible to member

Why Congress Should Act.

There is no reason why Con-
gress should delay action for a
new currency and banking law
beyond the special session to be
called this spring. Congress is
in possession Of complete infor-
nation as to the operation of the
banking systems in this and all
other countries. Aside from nu-
merous disastrous experiences,
terminating in the panic of 1907,
with their eloquent information,
the lawmakers have before them
the % volumes of the report of
the National Monetary Commits
sion. This report is the most
exhaustive compendium of infor-
nation as to American and for
eign banking systems and meth
ods ever compiled. In addition,
the House sub-committe Of the
Banking and Currency Commit
tee has been making special study
of the question since last spring
and has been hearing the views
of bankers and business men for
several weeks. The general
question of banking and curren-
cy reform has been under con-
slant investigation and study
since 1907 knowledge knows
no party. Information is infor-
nation whether democrat or re-
publican uncovers it. If Con-
gress cannot act at the special
session, because it requires fur
ther time to investigate, Con-
gress might as well postpone ac-
ton indefinitely for the same
reason.

"Citizen'' on the County Judgeship

SlAZSu Ou tuC- Nuulily JuuSCoAiP
Mr.. Editor:
! In the last issue Of your valued
paper l promised that, with your
permission, / would write con-
cerning the county judgeship for
this week, and the only way to
ascertain whether that permis-
sion is granted is to send in my
manuscript.
Let me begin my sermon by
saying that every farmer in the
county thinks that he would
make a good justice of the peace
and every justice Of the peace
believes that he would make a
good county judge. I do not in
tend to get personal in this, but
l will state, believing that most
of your readers will agree with
me, that very few farmers would
make good magistrates and that
still fewer justices would make
good county judges. Not that
| they are not honest and well
enough meaning, but that their
training has not been such as to
equip them for the job.
To constitute a good county
judge requires many qualifica-
tions. The first and most essen
tial is character. That, Of course,
could be and is possessed in as
large degree by farmers as by
any other class, but there are
other qualifications that he is so
often without. A thorough
knowledge of the law is necessa-
ry, added to an analytical mind
and natural reasoning ability.
A good business education is alb
solutely necessary. We must
get the idea into our craniums
that the affairs of the county are
business matters and must be
dealt with in a business way.
The county Judge should be a man
Of decision and moral force and
above the petty sordidness of
using the power of Office and the
peoples business to repay favors
or to punish enemies. The his
tory of the counties of Eastern
Kentucky is replete with the
chapters Of debt and incompe-
tence that have resulted from
elevating just-asses of the peace
to the office of county judge. 1t
is not to be inferred from this
that it is not possible for a JUS
tice to rise to the requirements
of the county judgeship, / only
say they usually don't.
We, as citizens, are commit
ting a crime against ourselves
and against our community if we
do not insist that the men we
vote for possess character, cour-
age and ability. Let's hold all
who offer for this important po-
sition up to the light and look at
them closely, and if they lack
these essentials we owe it to our
selves and to our country to pass
them up and seek for some one
who has. No man has a moral
right to vote for his friend, his
neighbor or his kinsman if that
friend, neighbor or kinsman has
not the requisite qualifications
for the Office sought. Mans du.
ty demands that he vote for the
best and the best qualified mer
for all offices.
If this gets by the waste bar
rel and is put before the intelli
gent Courier readers (this is moi
i "joshing," for newspaper read
t ing is the best evidence of intel
ligence) l will contribute an ar
ticle giving my idea of what i
, takes to make a good county at
. torney.
