The people of Oklahoma, at
the recent election, adopted an
amendment to the constitution
as follows:
Every person elected or ap-
pointed to any office or employ
ment of trust or profit under the
laws of the State or under any or
dinance of any municipality
thereof, shall give personal at
tentiOn to the duties of the office
to which heiS electedor appointed.
Drunkenness and the excessive
use of intoxicating liquors while
in office shall constitute sufficient
cause for impeachment or remov-
al from office"
The amendment carried in
every county in the State by a
large majority Exchange.
Ii would be a good idea if
Kentucky would adopt a similar
amendment.

Fine Lecture

The Second Christian church
of this city had an unusual and
very attractive meeting last Sun
day night. Madame Piotrowska
gave a most excellent talk on the
European war, outlining its orr
gin and its general development
and predicting its final outcome,
after which Prof. Grinstead pre-
sented to the audience the duty
of America in this conflict of
races. also our duty to ourselves
of self help and development
through education. Finally, he
spoke of the night school work
planned in this city.
Mrs. Mary Dean of the Nor
NAL was introduced and spoke
very lucidly of the movements to
blot out illiteracy, which is Ken
tucky's shame Her opinion was
that is must be done through an
education in the gospel and the
night schools. 1t must be re-
membered that the school law
permits persons between t h e
ages of six and twenty only to at
tend the day schools, but this

there is but one other thing to do,
and that is that the state must
increase its school facilities and
make its schools complete in all
of their departments, or else there
will be brought about that condi-
ton of affairs in which there will
be no schools except the mere
grammar and high schools. This
is a question that is fsaught with
great danger and with far reach
ing importance to the welfare of
the present generation yet to
come.
Tersely put, the question re-
solves itself simply to this: Shall
the private schools be allowed to
perish from the land?

Masonic TempleFalls

The front to the handsome
store room of the r. c. H. Cow
ington Company caved in at an
early hour Saturday morning.
The attention of Mr.. Covington
was called to the fact that there
was slight efumbling of the
brick work under one of the iron
pillars, which had caused the
window glass to crack, and he
and Mr.. J. E. Greenleaf, cashier
of the Southern National Bank,
had examined it that morning.
1t was the intention to cause re-
pairs made Immediately, but
in a few minutes afterwards with
out any warning whatever the
entire front of the building caved
in with a terrible roar which was
heard all over the city.
Fortunately all of the clerks
were in the rear of the store and
escaped without injury.
Before the dust had fairly set
tied Mr.. Parker, the efficient
lineman of the Electric Light
Company was on the ground cut
ting the wires. In less h n
thirty minutes from the time of
fall, there was a force of work
men put on to clear away the de-
bris for the purpose of rebuilding.
The building was owned by
the Masonic Lodge of this city,
which will sustain a loss of about
$4,000, besides many valuable
relics and portraits of its older
members. The charter of the
Blue Lodge was saved, it was
the intention of the Lodge to
have a photograph made of this
old charter which hung in the
Lodge room and the old charter
placed in a safety vault and this
will now be speedily done.
Fortunately the part of the
building that fell, fell forward in
to the street. which will probably
save the stock OF R. c. H. Coving-
ton Company from very serious
damage.

On Monday afternoon Sept. IA,
there was held in the First Chris

sentatives of all Ladies Aid and

Gus churches, for the purpose of
discussing the problem of uniting
charities of our town. After diff
ferent phases of the problem
were presented and the local con-
ditions discussed, a committee
was chosen to draft a constitu-
ton, which will then be read to
the membership of all churches,
and a formal organization will be
formed from the willing givers
and willing wor k er S of all
churches, and of the whole COM

Word from the sea coast is TO
the effect that the oyster supply
this year will be plentiful and
there is no reason for an increase

1t is claimed that American users
have never received the cream
of the oyster supply. as it was
sent to Europe, but now since the
war is on over there they will be
sent inland in order to dispose
of the crop, and the price will
likely be lowered in order to sch
all that would have been sent

DR.. L. FL. Bla1aton

The people of this city will be
grieved to learn that Chancellor
L. H. Blanton is dead. For
many years he resided here
where he was at the head of the
old Central University and did
much to make it one of the best
institutions of learning in the
State. He was a man of pro-
gressive ideas and was of kindly,
genial disposition and had many
friends in this community.
1t is true, when the question
of consolidating Central Univer-
Sity and Centre College arose,
DR.. Blanton was in favor of the
coalition, and in a certain sense
this estranged some of his for
mer friends and admirers, but
all OF that has long since been
put aside and they remember
him as one of Richmond's fore
most educators and most ener-
getic, untiring workers in church
and educational circles. His
death is a loss to the state.
He was one of our earliest
and we feel proud that
we have the honor to be num-
bered among his friends. When
we came here many years ago
he gave us a most cordial well
come. We held him in grateful

Sending Money .A1cay

More than fifty young people,
boys and girls have left this city
and county to enter the different
schools throughout the states.
This has been the practice in
this county and others for cen
fury. Estimating the average
expense of a boy or girl per year
at $500 at these various institu-
tons of learning, there is annu-
ally sent abroad from this coun-
-ty over $4,000. This average of
course would not hold good for
the century of this county's ex-
istance and probably the number
sent abroad is grester now than
formerly. But assuming t h a
this is approximately correct, the
county of Madison has spent
more than 81, 100000 in educating
its children at institutions other
than its own. This is a poor bus
mess policy, and it is one of the
things that serves to impoverish
the home schools. On the other
hand it must be borne in mind
that these children would not be
sent abroad if there was a school
in our midst where they could
get the finishing desired by their
parents. We cast no reflections
on the noble institutions of learn
ing of this city.s Some would be
seneabroad even though we had
a Harvard or a Yale. But the
vast majority of them would be
educated at home if we had a
school that was complete in all
of its departments. 1t will be
urged that there is no necessity
for sending any abroad. The
answer to that is, that the peo-
pie think otherwise and do other.
wise.
1t is a hard proposition to main
tain private schools since the
state has gone into the high
school and collegiate work, and
the ultimate result will be the
crushing out of all private insti
tutions, unless the people look
well to the maintenance of the
same. The Individual schoo
cannot compete against the state
unless it has an exceedingly large
endowment. Fin allythe re
suit will be a complete dismember
ment and suspension of all pr
vate institutions that are compel
ed to depend for their existanct
on tuition alone. With thi.
