The spectacle Of mans faith in his fellow
man is a beautiful thing 50 long as it is not i'm
posed upon. When it is misplaced and abused
we see many i'll effects therefrom. One Of the
most forcible illustrations Of the latter phase is
seen in communities where there have been bank
failures, where faith has been abused and credit
destroyed. We accept the trust placed in our
bank by hundreds Of depostors very seriously,
and, while we are only human and therefore liable
to err, we will continue to use great care in MAX
ing our investments, even though we might be
considered by some as not progressive. True pro-
gressiveness means an ability to live and be use
! full to the community, not only today but tomor-
row, next year and years to come

by large body Of alleged night rid
ers the large tobacco factory Of the
late John c. Latham was tnrned.
Suit against the city Of Hopkinsville
was brought for failure to give the
proper police and fire protection, but
it was shown that the same persons
who burned the property had taken
the precaution to cripple the Gre
fighting system of the city
and corral the police cepart-
ment. Then several individuals who
we're identified as being in the raids,
were sued by Mrs. Latham. DIR.
Amoss and many other citizens Of adj
jacent counties to Christian, were
named as defendants, and it was con-
clusively proven at one time that the
raiders had come from outside the
county of Christian.
Scores of prosperous farmers Of
that section of the state were ru ned
financially by reason Of having been
members of the raiders, or else were
required to leave the community,
sacrificing their property. Finally,
about four years ago in the suit that
was dismissed Saturday. what was
considered very astute move by the
counsel for the defendants was eff
fected by the payment by certain of
the defendants of S.. 900 and having
themselves released from further Ii
ability. Gossip among tn attorneys
was strong as to why Governor Brad
ley, with his great ability as an at
torney had allowed himself to be
couped in this way.
In the meantime the two prin-
cipal attorneys, Governor-Senator
Bradley and Mr.. Miller died, and
then a short time ago came the death
of DR.. Amoss. chief of the defend
ants, and the life of the case seemed to
wane. While the action was dismiss
ed without prejudice, thus leaving
the plaintiff the privilege of again
suing on the old grounds, i is not
believed there will ever be an at.
tepted revival of the causes Of &C.
ton.

ors at banquet at the armory. The
spirit with which this banquet has

make the meeting a success and has
had the hearty cooperation of his
excellent corps Of teachers.
Now, people of Hopkinsvills, it
will be unkind and inhospitable for
these teachers and educators to come
here and sit in these ms etings alone,
so let us urge that j GU make your
plans to attend these meetings. Let
us show them that we have the real
school spirit in Hopkinsville and
CHRISTIAN county. 1t should be re-
membered that we shall be observed
by teachers ON Owensboro. Hen

people as well as others will form
their judgment of us as a school

which will be commented upon in a

Do You Read Labels?

Domestic science teachers and
food authorities are urging the
housewife to carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws Of most States compel
food manuf aoturers to print the
ingredients Of their products
on the label, and this enables
consumers to distinguish health
full foods from those which may be
de1eterious.
High-grade baking powders are
made Of pure cream Of tartar,
derived from grapes. Royal Bak-
ing Powder is a type Of the highest
grade. It is healthful beyond a
doubt and the safest and best
to use.
The 1ow-grade baking powders
are made from alum, a mineral
acid salt, or phosphate Of lines
Consumers can learn the char
acter Of the baking powder by
referring to the label, which
must state whether the cont entS
include cream of tartar, alum or,
phosphate.

THE LITERACY TEST, in the immi-
grafton bill now pending in Congress, has
been retained by the Senate by the sur
prising majority Of forty-seven to twelve,
in vote taken December 81, that body
thus expressing it's disregard for President
Wilson wish to have the provision elm
mated from the bill. By vote Of twenty
nine to twenty-five shortly thereafter, the
Senate went on record as favoring the alb
solute exclusion hereafter Of all negroes,
or members of the African race, from the
United States This action has provoked
much adverse comment and aroused feel
ing among Afro-American citizens SEN
ator James Hamilton Lewis, (Illinois) Of
Southern birth, voted against the amend
ment excluding negroes. Senator Sher-
man (Illinois) was absent at the time the
vote was taken
A provision Of the bill exempting Bel
gian agricultural immigrants from en-
trance restrictions was adopted by the
Senate last Saturday. It is contended, by
those opposing such law, that it's enact
ment would inevitably result in interna-
tional complications.
1t is expected that President Wilson
will veto the BILL as it now stands, which,
however, would likely be repassed over
his veto.
The fundamental objection to the Glitter
acy test'' is that it is no real test Of char
acter. Both Taft and Cleveland vetoed
and killed literacy tests. The belief that
an unprecedented volume Of immigration
will follow the close Of the war has largely
aided the bill along.
