"COLD CHECK" LAW IL
ONE OE BEST ENACTED

The Paducah News-Democrat ed
itorially commends the new "cold
check" law as follows:
The cold check" law, which
was passed at the last session of the
Legislature, is now in full force
This is one of the most important
measures passed during the session
of the Legislature, and was enacted
for the protection of the merchants
business men and others who have
been defrauded by persons giving
checks on banks without having
money on deposit. The law is very
plain, and there can be no excuse
offered for any person who attempts
to violate same. When a person
gives check on any banking house
he must have on deposit at that
time enough money to cover the
amount called for by the check or
he is subject to prosecution. Sin
gular as it may seem. the adoption
of this law was from a necessity

ROMANTIC CAREER AND
INSPIRATION TO BOYS

TIE death of Sir Francis Joseph
Campbell in England calls attention
to a romantic career That a boy
born blind in small town lin Ten
nessee would live to be knighted by
the King of Great Britain and En-
peror of India, would hardly have
seemed a probable prophecy if it
had been made by the caster of the
boys horoscope or reader of palms
when Joseph Francis Campbell was
a boy.
A blind girl committed suicide in
California a few days ago because
she could not support the burden of
her great affection, although she
was talented musician. Joseph
Francis Campbell forgot in hard
work the handicap of blindness and
became principal of a British edu-
cational institution devoted to the
interests of persons similarly affiict-
ed. He became q notable musician
and instructor and claimed sufficient
attention to win kinghthood in its
most honorable form.
This is story of the triumph of
work and optimism which should in
spire every boy who reads it. Moth
ing is impossible to hard work, intel
ligence, persistency and optimism.

There are also many evidences, I re-
greet to say, that Anglo-Saxon blood
is being poured into this turbulent
strain.
"The Americans are not setting a
very worthy example from the
standpoint of things spiritual. The
canal commission has repressed
rather than encouraged aggressive
Christian work For instance, in
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, popular throughout the canal
zone and favored by the commission,
a splendid work of the clubhouse
type is being done. The associa-
tons. however. are definitely in
formed that they are to cut out the
religious side of the work Just as
largely as possible.
Church attendance OH the part
of the officials of the commission
and the rank and file of our Ameri-
can canal workers is practically nil
and Sabbath observance. in the
sense that we know it in America, is
conspicuous by its absence.
ITO meet this spiritual emergency
we have the merest handful of men
and women. who are working
against tremendous odds. carried
away the very distinct impression
that our work is poorly equipped
and inadequately manned, when We
consider the tasks before us. If the
American people are to grapple with
the spiritual problem in the canal
zone, it must be handled in much
more adequate way.
ION the other hand, there are
many signs of promise. Some of
the finest young fellows | ever met
are active in our Christian work. If
we had better and more accessi-
BILE equipment, no doubt many more
could be enlisted.
