MUST HURRY TO CATCH UP.

Kentucky is making progress with
her present school system, but 1t is
not nearly fast enough. She is so far
down the line in the list of the states
in educational matters that she must
hurry even faster than she is now
going to merely catch up with the
main portion of the procession. The
main obstacle to the rapid progress
is the necessity for the chang
ing of the Superintendent OF Pub
lie instruction every four years.
No two school men, no matter how
well equipped they may be for this
most important position, can have ex'
actly the same ideas and ideals. So,
while a new Superintendent is striv.
ing to adjust himself to the work be-
gun by the man leaving the Office, or

Naval warfare took on new phase
early in 1918. This, however, was
not due 10 the elimination Of Ger

Study that picture a little.
The bankers lend the money to the Wall
Street Corporation, and the Corporation
hires the State troops!
Our little cowboy Governor stands in
with the Wall Street Corporation, and
agrees TO prostitute the States militia, to
the service Of the coldly ruthless young mil
honaire who teaches the Bible Glass in New
York
With the bankers, the Chamber of Com
merce allies ITSELF and fourteen noble editors
agree to join the band which is to hire out
the State troops to the R0chefez1ers.
[ wonder how those noble State troops
felt when they pocketed Rockefeller's blood
money, after the tent-village of the miners
had been transformer into a raging In
ferno Of flames, screams, groans of the
dying, and smoking morgue of the dead!
When the Rockefellers can hire the States
sovereign power over her military, and can
thus buy the State itself, and can make the
State an accomplice In the murder Of its
own citizens, it SENS to me that Shensi and
Shansi, in Western China, might be left
alone
These Chinese of Shensi and Shansi will
never know what hell on earth is like until
they fall under the sway of just such money
maniacs as the Rockefellers.
Who were the "vcious agitators" that our
little cowboy Governor, and our bankers,
and our Chamber Of Commerce, and our
best business men, and our noble fourteen
editors wanted driven out of Colorado?
They were such people as old Mother
Jones and Frank P. Walsh, who are crazy
enough to believe that God did not make
the world for the especial benefit of the
Rockefellers.
Those vicious agitators believe and preach
that any system which gives the RocIefel-
lers money enough to buy State, and use
it's military establishment, as an asset in
private business, IS internally acrong-and
I, for one, agree with these "vicious agi-
tatOrs"
AS to the bankers, the Chamber of Com
merce, and the noble editors, they all be-
longed to Rockefeller, directly or indirectly;
and when their New York Boss cracked his
