An adjustment Of the insurance
condition in Kentucky, although
Ruby Laffoon has made certain
promises, as to what the State
Rating Board will do, seems very
uncertain. The welfare of the
business interests of the State de-
mand an immediate adjustment
and if the Governor, the Auditor
and Ruby Laffoon are not willing
to surrender what they had hoped
to gain in a Political way for the
welfare of the business interests
of the entire State, it seems to US
that it is time tor the people to
make a demand that will bring
the desired result. The people
are greater than that bunch of
political grafters, who are trying
to hold on to this infamous law.

In the final session of his admin
istration the Governor has aided
in supplying the motive power.
Not only is Kentucky TO have
State and Federal aid in the build
ing of her roads, but under the
Fluff law county seat plan every
county is to receive equal con-
sideratiou. The money spent for
roads is no longer to be spent
haphazard. The standard of road
construction, of whatever mater
ial, is to be fixed. The provision
for maintenance is to be uniform.
Not until this standard and pro-
vision have been complied with is
State and Federal aid to be ex-
tended. Kentucky has at last
substituted action for words in
the building of good roads.
In signing these measures the
Governor has done Kentucky a
service that more than evens the
score between them.
But the credit is not wholly the
Governors. But for Claude B.
Terrell the McDyer-BoswOrth bill
would never have passed the
House. The fight made for it in
the Senate by Lieut.. Gov. McDer-
mott and Senator Huffaker pre-
vented its defeat IN that body. In
both houses the Louisville delega-
ton stood as a man by their ante
election pledge to work and Vote
for good roads. To Louisville, on
which the tax burden falls heaviest
the section of the State that are
without good roads owe not the
least of their debt of gratitude for
legislation that will transform
eightynine pauper into eighty
nine prosperous cOunties:-Louis

likewise. Lets all rally the |

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR
DUE.

In signing the McDyer-Bos-
worth measure and House bill
No. 297, the Governor has assured
to every county in Kentucky the
aid of the State in the building of
its roads, to be supplemented in
time by that of the Federal Gov
eminent and to townships and
counties the use of the labor of
county prisoners in the actual
construction and maintenance of
roads and other public works.
AS the Governor had already
signed the bill declaring roads to
be the public works of the State
it is not improbable that the use
of convict labor will also be avail
able without the delay of SUBJ
hitting the constitutional amend
ment to the people in 1915. That
question. however, it is for the
courts to decide.
Strong pressure was brought
to bear on the Governor to pre-
vent his signing the first two bills
by men who look only to present
conditions and selfish considera.
tions. In resisting it the Cover
nor has insured to Kentucky the
best system Of roads of any State
in the South.
In the first session of his ad-
ministration there was created
,ureau OF roads. The machinery
as admirable in itself.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS

The popular tendency nova
DAYS is toward mollycoddling.
Children must not be corrected.
Their minds must be diverted.
Violators of the law, who are
merely grown-up children who are
without respect for authority, or
for the rights of others, must not
be punished. They must be
given treatment somewhat like
that promised to Curlylocks in
the poem, and turned loose after
a brief period of uplifting associa-
ton with opponents of the theory
that criminals are not criminals,
but merely worthy persons tenn
porarily in error. Now comes a
school teacher to denounce the
term-end examinations as tending
to dishearten and disgust pupils,
and as having no value in determ-
lining their relative fitness for ad-
vancement to higher classes.
In a paper read before the Cen
trail Association of Science and
Mathematics Teachers, an Illinois
iustructress holding chair al a
high school in Kenilworth, abol.
ishes with a breath the standing OF
examinations. They are useless,
worse than useless. They are
cruel. They are unfair. They
bestow an honor decided by a
fraction of per cent.
The last objections is the more
thoughtless. In all sporting
events, such as the Marathon race
at the Olympic games, the Ken
lucky Derby and baseball, the
honor is bestowed 'uron frac-
ton OF per cent" as Inc school
teacher puts il. That the prize in
a Marathon or the stake in turf
event S uniustly bestowed because
there isn't a wide gap between the
winner and the contestant who is
crowding him is new theory. Ii
is a theory which quite overlooks
the stimulaut to heroic endeavor
that lies in the fact that getting
across the tape or under the wire
nearly on time does not get first
honors. There would be no
Marathon runners, and no fast
thoroughbreds, if there were no
reward for being an eyelash ahead
of a rival.
If there We're no examinations
il would be rather embarrassing
for teachers to sing lie out the pupil
not entitled to advancement and
order him to repeat the junior
course when others took senior
tickets" Diplomas and degr ees
would have little meaning. A
wholesome fear of failures at ex-
animation keeps pupil at his
books who, without stimulant
would do little hard work. -Cour-
Ter Journal.

1t is impossible for Denver to do
anything without throwing a few
tits. Each election there means
weeks of slush and vituperation
dished up in the daily papers, but
heretofore wind jamming has been
the most disagreeable feature. The
present water contract election
seems likely though to add murder
to the list of political arguments. A
so-called city that will stand for a
Matchmaking outfit like the Post
deserves the worst that it gets sew
eral times over. Even when 1t
does support the right side of a
controversy everyone knows it does
so for no other reason except
that the wrong side refused to pay
its price. The attack by Bonfils, a

like Tom O'Donnell cannot be justi-
fled by any circumstances. 1t is of
the same class as his cowardly as
