VITAL STATISTICS.

The birth and death returns for
Kentucky for the year 1912 are
much more satisfactory in number
and quality than 1911, the first
year of the operation of this law.
The causes of death are more accur.
ately stated and the personal and
statistical particulars are given in
greater detail; for this reason the
certificates of both births and deaths
have a greater value as a family re-

Obeying Your Husband

When Miss Jessie Wilson mar
ried Francis B Sayre, at her re-
quest the word "obedient" was
inserted in the Presbyterian
marriage service, which does not
contain the word obey" In
spite of the sweep of "feminism"
and the assertion of equal privi-
leges for women, Many brides
still prefer the old form in which
they promise to obey their hus-
bands.
But are there any wives to-day
who obey their husbands? Are
there any husbands, considered
worthy of a place in good society,
who ever issue an order of any
kind to their wives? And if a
man who wishes to be considered
a gentleman, may not issue a
command to his wife, is she call
ed on to promise to obey" him?
In the enthusiastic felicity of
the wedding day, the promise
to "obey" seems fitting and SUI
preme mark of the confidence
the bride feels in the generosity
of her partner. But most brides
would be tremendously astonish-
ed later, if the bridegroom should
issue anything like a command.
Modern idealism makes the
woman and the man equal part
ners. 1t gives to neither the
power to outvote the other. it
assumes that their differences
of opinion will be settled with
out arbitration, and that neither
should enforce his or her will on
the other.
The words love, honor, and
obey" roll forth from the tongue
of the officiating clergyman with
sonorous authority. They seem
to make the ceremony more
binding, and they add note of
clinging sweetness to the picture
of the bride. But let the modern
bridegroom take them as poetry
rather than prose. He will find
that beguilements of feminine
affection have a power far more
real and effective than the decor
alive scepter of authority which
the clergyman handed him.

ton the bureau was considerably
handicapped by the disapproval Of a
number Of people to whom the law
and its purposes were new and who
did not or could not recognize the
value Of the records Of births and
deaths Of people. That this number
comprised only a limited few. how
ever, was conclusively shown by the
attitude Of the 1912 Legislature
which reflected the expressed wishes
Of their constituents by declaring the
Vital Statistics Law Of Kentucky to
be valuable one, and not only vot-
ed that it remain on the statute
books but strengthened it by the
passage of much needed amendments.
Numerous requests in gradually
increasing numbers are received at
this Office for information as to the
dates of births and deaths 10 order
to prove accurately someone's claim
to an insurance or pension fund or
to an inheritance. Several applica-
tons have been made by foreign
consuls for death certificates of for
mer citizens Of those countries, that
under their laws are absolutely ne
cessary before any settlement of an
estate can be made.
Lawyers from all over Kentucky
are finding the certified copies of the
death records to be the easiest way
to settle insurance and pension
and, of course, as these re-
cords increase in age and number
and witnesses OF such events have
moved away or died, requests for
certified copies Of birth and death
records will be multiplied hundred
fold.

When Gin" Burns was a young
fellow. which was not so very long
ago, up in the mountains Of Clay
county, he was actively mixed up in
a feud. He was shot by some OF
the mountaineers of the other side,
picked up for dead and thrown over
a wall into a weed patch. Since
then, but not especially on account
of that incident, he has had nothing
to do with ieuds. Last night at st.
Johns Evangelical church, Clay and
Market streets, James Anderson
Burns, president of the Oneida Bap-
fist Institute, told of some OF the
work he is doing in the Kentucky
mountains. His lecture was illus
trated with stereopticon views.
When Tom Baker was arrested
and on trial for his life for certain
participation in the Howard Baker
feud. two companies of the State
Guard were up in Clay county pro-
tecting the prisoner, Mr.. Burns re-
lated. One morning as Baker stood
in the doorway o. a tent, with his
wiie's arm about his shoulder, a
bullet from across the way cut him
down. 1t entered his heart and he
died without a word. And over the
body of her husband Mrs. Baker
prayed aloud that her unborn child
might be a boy, in order that he
might avenge his fathers death.
He was. And his name is Tom
Baker, too. One OF Mr.. Burns pic
lures was a snapshot of fine man
ly young fellow.

NEED Coon ROADS.

Oneida Institute partially supports
itself by raising corn, wheat, pota-
toes, vegetables and various fruits
and grains. But the school is forty
miles from a railroad. 1t costs those
who raise crops at the rate Of one
cent a pound to transport their
crops by mule team to the railroad.
When they finally get there the
profit is much diminished. One OF
the vital necessities for the State aid
bill is shown here, Mr.. Burns said:
"The folks up there haven't got
any money because they haven't got
any roads, and they haven't got any
roads because they haven't got any
money"
One Of his pictures was of a mule
team stuck in a narrow clay road
and far behind it, there were other
teams waiting, for the road is too
narrow to permit Of others passing.
Mr.. Burns told OF the work his
school is doing. He laid the corner
stone Of the first building himself
All the men of the neighborhood
were fighting. As he laid the stone
he offered a prayer and then from a
neighboring mountain there burst
out on the ill air the rifle shots oil
a feudist. This was the sort oil
ceremony with which the work was
begun. Today the school has a
farm of 900 acres, much hardwood
timber underlaid with splendid coal,
has domestic science and manual
training departments, has a mill
where woodworking will begin soon
and teaches practical as we'll as in
tellectual things. The only problem
is funds, for many of the poor noun
taineers are so poor that they can't
pay the small tuition which includes
hoard.

DoEs RIGHT THING.

That's Tom Baker" said MIR.
Burns. Hes going to school with
the Howard boys now. plays with
them every day and sits in the same
seats. And Mrs. Baker said to me,
take him. Mr.. Burns Make him a
man. You're doing the right thing
by him.
When the BOYS of the mountains
are barely able to understand their
elders. they hear tales OF the (eudists.
those men who fight for what they
believe is the right are held up to
their childish minds as heroes. The
tales. OF course, are more OF less en-
bell ished, and the lads grow up to
believe that "leuding" is the right
thing.
