STRENUOUS EDUCATION

At the last session of the Fis
cal Court held May 5, that honor
able body appropriated for the
purpose of County High Schools
a levy of fifteen cents, which will
produce about $4,000 in round
numbers. No part of this is ap-
propriated to the High Schools Of
Richmond or Berea.
However, the citizens of both
places are taxed in this levy and
the money arising therefrom will
be appropriated to the support Of
the rural schools of the county.
The school tax for the support
of these schools last year was ten
cents, this year, without any dis
cussion of the question whatever
or without apprising the people
of the fact that an additional levy
would be asked, the Fiscal Court
increased the tax so per cent.
There is a very large tax drawn
from the people of the city Of
Richmond for the support OF the
City School and in addition tc
this they now find that they are
heavily taxed to support school:
in which they cannot have the
slightest control.
Without expressing any opin
ion whatever as to the merits Of
this question, we submit the in
formation to the people.

OUR BAND

The delightful concert given
Monday afternoon by the First
Regiment Band was soul inspir-
ing and rejuvenated our lanquish-
ing natures. A man that is not
moved by the concord of sweet
sounds, is fit for murder and trea-
son. Wherever the strains of
music is heard, there the people
collect and drink in every har-
monious note. The large number
of people that heard this delight
full concert and listened to it raw
enously through the entire per-
Torrance, was a high compliment
to the musicians. 1t is hoped
that these artists will continue to
discourse their most eloquent
music to the great edification OF
the people.
Why not get up a subscription
to enable theSeSyoung musicians
to continue these concerts?

TUESDAY, MAY IL, 1914.
GOES TO THE U. S. SUPREME COURT
Fletcher Deaton. who was r

Fletcher Deaton, who was re-
Gently convicted in the Clark Cir
cult Court for the murder of Ed
Callahan, has taken his case to
the u. S. Supreme Court.
The Kentucky Court of APP
peals affirmed the judgment of
the Clark Circuit Court in this
case. An interesting question is
presented. 1t is charged that the
trial judge arbitrarily ordered GER
tain men from Madison county
to be summoned as jurors, and
this is claimed to be a violation
of the law. The Court of APP
peals decided that it was VIC
lation of the law, but also decid-
ed that under Section 281 of the
criminal code of Kentucky they
were prevented from reviewing
that error and could not reverse
the case on that account. For
this reason, and to review that
alleged error, the case was taken
to the U. S. Supreme Court.
1t appears that this is the
same question presented in the
Caleb Powers case, on which
Judge Cochran ordered a transfer
of that case to the Federal Court.
The Federal Court refused to en-
terrain jurisdiction and remanded
the case to the State court for
trial.
The outcome of the case will
be watched with interest.

After the Editors

Editor John w. Walker and
Joe Bush, associate editor of the
Irvine Sun, were arrested at
Irvine recently on a warrant
sworn out by Judge David New
ton, charging them with contempt
of his court. They gave bonds
for their appearance for trial on
May 2. 1t appears that the al
legged contempt consisted in their
statements in the paper that the
evidence was not sufficient to
justify the court in holding the
defendants Spivey and Denner
over for further action by the
grand jury. The action of the
County Judge has created some
surprise.
Judge Newton called the con-
tempt cases against Editors John
w. Walker and Joe Bush last
Saturday. He changed the charge
from contempt to criminal libel,
and the defendants were held to
the grand jury on a personal
bond of 500 each. He then an
nounced that he would fine the
defendants $500 each for con-
tempt of court, which was i'm
mediately RENTED.
This case will be watched with
interest, as it is. one of unusual

The Place and Power Of
Thought In a World
of Action.


changed its battle ground from
the plain of conflict to the plane
of thought, and problems of the
world no longer seek solution in
the clash of arms, but in the
study, where constructive think
ing must take the place and do
the work of destructive strife. A
single weak and even consump-
tive inventor, discovering some
mighty explosive, and demon
strating how to use it; or perfect
ing some wonderful piece of ar
tillery, may do more to decide
the issues of war than a whole
regiment of strong and able sol
diers. A wise and thoughtful
statesman may solve more of the
problems of government than all
the destructive critics in> the
world. A community really think
ing out the problems of local gov
eminent may reach conclusions
and demonstrate possibilities that
will bless nations and peoples. A
careful student may solve many
of the problems of human life,
and truly teach men how to live
and work. The world needs to
be lead to think great thoughts,
as preparation for the doing of
great deeds.
The men and women of our
own fair city have a splendid field
in which to think and work.
Much can be done much needs
to be done. Things worth while
do not just do themselves. Evils
are in our midst, possibilities Of
good are within our reach. What
can we do to put down evil, and
build up all that is good? How
can we best elevate business, So
cial, community and spiritual life?
What message has your life for
the world, for your friends, for
| your home? What influence are
you exerting? Can any of these
be higher than your thought ?
What are you doing to make the
world better, happier? Will you
not set your mind the task of
working out some real problem
of human life, and demonstrating
the value of your thought to your
felloWmen? There are two great
fields open to the thoughtful man
and woman who would do some
thing for the world. The first is
the field of discovery. New
truths should be found, new fields
of usefulness opened, new CONT
nents of~endeavor are to be open
ed up, new applications of old
forces found. New solutions OF
old problems, and new light
thrown upon old truths. The
great field of discovery contains
many new things. Why should
you not find some of these?
The second is equally inviting.
1t calls for the doing of the ordi-
nary thing in an extraordinary
way. Here lies an open way into
the attention of the world about
us. Where lies the plane of your
thought? Upon what are you
expending the power of your
mind, and what is your contribu.
ton to the world? You must
and do think, but to what pur.
pose is your thinking? mo
great action was ever wrought
without patient, earnest, eager
thought" Let us think, and
think soberly, and act wisely, and
thus bless and help all about us!
