Powell County IIIiterates.

Kentucky has POS, 0S4 men and
women, according to the last re-
port of the United States Census
Bureau, who cannot read and
write-valuable material going
to waste-good people, but in a
state of mental darkness. Pow
ell county has 500 of these I'M
tortunates. A movement is on
foot to give these people a chance
like the grown people of Rowan
county had in their Moonlight
Schools. In that county men and
women past eighty learned in a
few weeks to read and write.
Only twenty.three illiterates
were left in that county, though
there were 1852 when the Moon
light Schools began, three years
ago. A number of Kentucky
teachers have taken up the move
ment, ard Moonlight Schools are
being conducted in anumber of
counties in the State;S.'
The Kentucky llliteracy Com
mission has opened headquarters
in the new State Capitol at Frank
fort, and will gladly give infor-
nation or lend assistance to any
who are interested i'll stamping
out illiteracy from Kentucky
either in Moonlight Schools or by
instructing individuals in their
homes. The Commission is COM
posed of Mrs. Cora Wilson Stew
art, President; DR.. j. G. CrabEe,
Secretary and Treasurer, Hon.
Barksdale Hamlett, President
II. II. Cherry and Miss Ella
Lewis. None of these men and
women are to be paid for their
services. Can we not lend them
q hand? 1t is our Kentucky as
well as their Kentucky. Let us
wipe illiteracy out of Kentucky
by 1920, when the next census is
taken.

Mr.. Cantrill said in his speech
at Winchester that national pro.
hibition would be unfair because
it would roh the liquor people of
all their property. To better en-
able them to stand it, We sug-
gest that the liquor people save
all the money they are spending
in trying to keep such men in
Congress as Oantrill and put it
in a savings bank to use when
their days are over as they are
sure to be.

Cheap Buying.

Upon investigation II has been
learned that the l.. IL n. Rail
road issued last year thirty-fOur
thousand passes, valued at S340,-
10000. These passes were issued
70 officers Of the law, including
Judges, legislators, and newspa-
per men. This is "A cheap way
of buying cantrol of the Courts,
the Legislatures and the mould
9rs of public opInion-the news
papers. OF course the men who
thus sell their constituency out
for so pitiful a sum are far less
desirable creatures than the rail
roads themselves, but as we can
not get at these "iloaters" in.
dividually, we should put up IA
strong pressure to get the roads
that SO corrupt the leading men
of the land. We shall ever OPP
pose such rottenness, and will
never compromise with them any
other way than the right way.

A Word from Home.


The Georgetown News, lead.
ing Democratic paper of Scott
county, in its issue of July 9TH,
publishes a caustic article signed
byJ. ID. Nunnelly, Democrat and
postmaster at Sadieville, in that
county, In reply to attacks by
Congressman Cantrill on him be-
cause Nunnelley fails TO support
Cantrill in the primary race.
The article says in part:
"Mr. Cantrill stated in his
speech that he had always con.
sldered me his political enemy.
| do not know why he consider
ed me his enemy unless it is be.
cause | have stood for fair and
honest elections and against pO-
litical corruption in this county.
Mr.. Cantrill and Mr.. Anderson
consider me their enemy because
as member of the Democratic
Committee, | have stood and con-
tended that every mans vote
should be counted as it was cast
which has not always been the
case in this county. They con-
slider me their enemy because |
helped to defeat Mr.. Anderson
for Chairman of the DEMOCRATIC
Committee of this county, and l
want to say that | have no apol-
Ogy to make to the people of this
county for that vote.
"Mr. Cantrill cries out with a
loud voice that he is Democrat
and undertakes to read every
body who opposes him out of the
party. elf Cantrili or Anderson
or any of their political mana.
gers will explain to the people of
this county what became of those
ballot boxes that so mysteriously
disappeared some three years "a
20 then we will have more faith
in their Democracy"
The iutimation that Mr.. Can
trill or his friends were RESPONSE
BILE for the disappearance Of bal
lot boxes in Scott county Is a
grave charge, and if these boxes
were adverse to Mr.. Cantrill he
should set himself right before
the people. These and other
charges are tending to fix on Mr..
Cantrill the character of a pOliti-
cal schemer and trickster which
"A good many voters do not adj
mire in candidate. -Estill Tri-
bune.
Some one asked us the other
day why the Georgetown News,
Cantrilfs home paper, opposed
him 81 bitterly for Congress. That
question is easily answered, "be-
cause it knows him"

NProof.

Some are hclined to cry out
hard times. The bank reports of
June 80 do not warrant such dis
turbance. The Clay City Ma
tional Bank made the best re-
port June Both that it has made
in years. The Louisville banks
show an increase in reserve 10
per cent. higher than the Gov
eminent requires; the loans had
decreased, and the deposits had
greatly increased over the re-
ports of March 4th. Times may
be a little hard with the money
kings and the big brutal corpora
tons, but in Kentucky times are
better than for years with the
farmers and farm labor, and
when the farmer prospers in
Kentucky, all other business
prospers.

How does the other fellow, assuming

IN the standard of life of the people
which, to a degree, explains the higher

"More People Want More Thines."
1.-THE question of the Increased cost
of living said Harold Cox, the Brit

the general explanation 10 to be found
IN the fact that wages have been ris-

India and In eastern Europe. Tho re-
suit is that the labor cost OF produc-
tion has been increased This may
have been Offset 10 a limited extent
by the increased use of machinery and
the wider cultivation Of the new coun.
tries OF the world. but the improved
economic position OF the poorer class
