HIGH UP IN
HIS PROFESSION
Professor v. O. Gilbert Every.
where Recognized as an
Educator Of Note.

It's all over but the shouting
insofar as the nomination for
the Office of State Superintend.
ent of Public Instruction is con-
cerned, and Prof. V. o. Gilbert
will undoubtedly be the winner.
This elegant gentleman from
Simpson county is a citizen Of
whom Kentucky may well be
proud. He is one of her State
builders, who has spent his life
moulding her children into mag
nificent men and women who
will reflect honor upon her in
the future. Thirty years of &C.
tive work in harness are credit
ed 70 him and he knows more
about educational matters in the
commonwealth and is more thor
oughly abreast Of the time than
any man in his profession. Pol
iticians from all sides are unani-
nous in their estimation of this
man, and admit his wonderful
fitness for the Office he seeks.
He is a scholar, and administra-
tor of affairs, a speaker of con-
vincing elequence, and one Of
the hardest workers in our public
schools. There is no detail of the
business Of education with which
he is not familiar. He knows
the statutes Of every school and
college in our borders, he under
stands exactly how the funds set
apart for educational purposes
should be expended and taking
him all in all he will add un-
doubted strength to the ticket

The liquor candidates and the liquor
organs In their desperate efforts to
stem the rapidly increasing strength
of Mr.. McChesney. and to prevent, II
possible, what seems to be his prob
able nomination as the Democratic
candidate for Governor In the August
primary, have been industricusly cir
culating the report that II he Is nomi.
mated he can not be elected In No
vember. They base this statement
upon the idea that the whiskey and
beer Democrats would not vote for
him, or for any other dry Democrat,
II he is nominated. In other words.
they admit that, although the liquor
Democrats will take very active part
In the primary against McChesney,
they will not hesitate, II he Is nomi-

washlngton.-President Wilson has
decided to serve notice on all the
warning factions in Mexico that con
dltIons in that country have become
intolerabie. and that unless they
themselves compose the situation
soon, some other means may have 10
be employed to accomplish the result.
The FIRST intimation Of the presi'
dents determination to take this step
came Friday in his appeal issued as
head OF the American Red Cross, set
ting forth that due to several years
OF internal disturbances" the untor'
tunate people Of many parts OF Mex.
leo have been reduced to the verge OF
starvation. and urging contributions
20 relief funds.
Later the White House gave out the
following;
when the presidents appeal for
aid for the Mexicans was issued II
was also stated at the executive Of
fees that a statement from the presi.
dent on the present situation in Mex
leo might be expected within the next
few days"
This statement has been prepared,
and will be issued after the next cab
met meeting and then communicated
to the leaders OF all the Mexican fac
lions.
Officials at the white House and
state department declined to say what
the presidents statement contained.
but denied that recognition OF any
faction was now contemplated.
Il was stated authoritatlveiy that
while friends OF Carranza here had
been pressing for recognition. the gov.
eminent had not been impressed with
the ability OF any OF the contending
chiefs 20 restore order. The present
action. Il was said. was not intended
to assist one faction at the expense Of
another. but TO demand. in effect. that
the Mexicans arrive at an early set.

provide for the sustenance OF the
starving population.
High officials referred TO the presi.
dents forthcoming announcement a.
not meaning immediate Intervention
and they emphasized the word "imme.
