BOY COUNTERFEITERS
MADE FAULTY" NICKELs

Corbin, KY, May IA bunch of
alleged counterfeiters were appret
hended and put under arrest here
by United States Secret Service
Agent s. A. Donnella, of Louisville,
Ky, and Chief Of Police George Da-
Wis, of Corbin. John Wilbur, Steve
Wilbur and Lewis Wilbur, brothers,
who, it is charged, had been manu-
featuring counterfeit nickels for
more than a year, when arrested
had quite lot of the spurious coin
in their pockets.
They confessed at once and said
they would make no defense to the
charge.
The Wilburs have furnished their
bad coin to the boys of the vicinity
and persons at night, and besides
have traded with persons from the
country for anything they could
purchase. They had been seen by
many persons in the vicinity of the
dump pile, near Corbin, melting
old cans, cast-off tin and other
metals, for solder, but no one knew
their purpose until recently, when
they told all about it themselves.

London, April 3O.-"The War

1.-THE Archbishops of Canterbury

line, Duchess of Bedford; DR.. Mary

shall make and the steps to be ia
ken, if the problem proves a serious
one, will be considered by another
committee, of which the Archbish-
op of York is Chairman. The Arch
bishop, in referring to the matter
in a speech, here, said there had;
been much exaggeration in the pub
lie reports on the subject, and that
where it had been possible to test
the figures given inethe reports, they
alusost invariably had proved I'M
true.
Rondal Mcneil, member of
Parliament, in letter to the Morn
ing Post. has made an urgent ap-
peal for assistance to the thous-
ands of unmarried young women
who would shortly become mothers.
IcNeill says that it is a social prob
lem of the most pressing nature. He
continues:
"Ali over the country, in districts
where large masses of troops have
been quartered, a great number of
unmarried girls will become moth
ers within a few weeks.
81 have information of one coun-
ty borough. which is said not to be
exceptional. where there are more
than 1000 young women and girls
in this condition.
The total number of illegitimate
children shortly to be born is very
MANY thousands. not few of the
prospective mothers being little
more than children themselves"
Mcneil asks if these women are
to be disgraced and If the children
must carry through life the stigma
of shame for irregular birth. Many
of these fathers have atoned for the
fault. he says, by giving their lives
for their country.

Perhaps the people of Kansas, or
many Of them, are in full sympathy
with the plans of the Republicans in
the house to cut the appropriations to
d figure that will preclude the posi-
bility Of even a small increase in the
State tax rate; and at the expense of
the necessary development Of the
states institutions, and those, in par
ticular. that are devoted to the pur-
poses of education. But, If this is so,
the sentiment must be based on an
impression that their tax burdens are
made heavy by the money that a leg
islature appropriates for the conduct
Of the affairs of the state. No idea
could well be more erroneous. The
portion of the taxpayers money that
goes to support the state is a mere
bagatelle compared with the portions
that are devoted to county and local
purposes. The state tax rate last year
was 12 mills. The Shawnee county
tax rate. for example. was nearly
twice as large; and the Topeka ta1
rate, including the tax for school pur.
poses. was more than ten times a
large ~ the state tax rate.
