We call your attention to the
announcement of G. B. Dether,
age, of Warren, Knox County,
Kentucky, who is a candidate foi
the office of County Judge. Mr.,
Detherage needs very little in
PRODUCTION as he is as well known
possibly, as any other man in
Knox County.
Mr.. Detherage fas been q
member of the Fiscal Court for
many years, and has always been
found doing all in his power for
the uplift of the people of the
whole County. and not combining
himself to the constituent of his
own district alone. He has al
ways been a loyal republican,
fighting its battles. and helping
in any and all ways possible that
was honorable to further its
principals. He is a man that is
not only well known. but is liked

abroad. Suppose you ask your
self if your taxes have become
any lighter since democracy,
either State or National, got con-
troll of affairs. You know that
low taxes. 'retrenchment" and
reform" are the slogan of de-
mocracy, but you further know,
whether you are honest enough
to admit it or not. the increased
expenses and extravaganza have
been the history of democracy in
both State and Nation every time
it has gotten into power.
Today the democratic politi-
clans and the democratic Editors
are sweating like harvest hands
in Kansas in their effort to make
the people believe that it is to
their interest to re-elect Wood
row Wilson and his democratic
Congress that demands 81. 5OO,-
600. 600. 90 of your money to keep
their ransacked and discredited
administration going. But the
old game will not work. The
people of the United States are
disgusted with this bunch Their
days are numbered - Enough of
anything is plenty. On the
seventh day of November the
host of Republicans, the Bull
Moosers. the old Liners. the
Hughesites will all be marching
under one banner-the banner of

Think for your own self Mr..
citizen of the United States and

worst misrepresented set of
citizens beneath the whole canopy
of heaven. Let us here in Ken
lucky shake off the yoke that so
heavily besets us as free people.
Let us show to the world that we

Among all the people who at
tended the speaking at LeXing-
ton there was only one little
simlin-headed fool that had the
impudence to yell for Woodrow
Wilson. We regret this, as We
are sure that if Mr.. Wilson was to
come to Eastern Kentucky, as
bad as some would have us in
this section, that we have none
that would so far forget himself,
as not to respect the man who is
at the head of this great nation,
or one that has been designated
as man fit for that high posi-
ton by either of the great polit-
ical parties. But this was not,
we are sure, a mountain demo-
crat. The mountain democ, at is
as a rule a gentleman, he is
democrat from principal, because
he thinks it is right to be one,
not for vulgar glory or fame, or
for the hope of fee or reward.
So it is with the mountain re-
publican, he is in ninety-nine
cases in a hundred a gentleman.

Wilson's Extravaganza

y
before the whole civilized world
today convicted of the charge of
being the most expensive. eX-
travagant and hypocritical bunch
of so called statesmen and law
makers that ever desecrated the
footstool of Almighty God.
All the time crying economy, y
economy, reform. re
form and all the time running its
greedy fingers deeper and deeper
into the peoples pocket. The
world staggering extravaganza
of the Wilson Administration is
enough to send a SILVER of alarm
through the breast of every liber-
ty loving man in the United
States. 1t seems impossible to
imagine how any one imbued
with the principals of fair play
and just conceptions of the OBJ
jects and ends of the Govern
ment, can defend or endorse the
worlds staggering extravaganza
of the Wilson crowd. 1t was
bad enough TO have them ruth
lessly sweep t,om the Statute
books our protective tariff laws
which pro sided abundant rev.
enues to meet all demands of a
republican administration and
then set up a wild cat free trade
law that favors the foreign man.
ufacture, fails to reduce the high
cost of living, produces a deficit
in the National Treasury and
causes the people to have to pay
a hundred million in war tax"
stamps, but democracy does not
stop at that point. Instead of
endeavoring to fit expenditures
with its reduced free trade in
come, it takes the other road, and
piles a bill Of expenses of one
half billion dollars larger than
any other party ever did in the
history of the Nation. The
figures of the present session of
Congress have just been made
public in a statement by Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald, chairman
of the committee of appropria-
tons. He says the expense of
this session Will be 81, 500, 600, 600
that means $500 for every man,
woman and child in America, or
about $4,000 for every family.
That's what Wilson'S democracy
is costing you, whereas the re-
publicans did not exceed over
two thirds of that amount. And
what are you getting to show
for this increase of expense of
government? Suppose you think
about that a little before you
cuss the republican party Mr..
Democrat, for assailing your be-
loved party. Mr.. Democrat, sup
pose you ask yourself if living is
any cheaper Democracy in 1912
said it would be under its bene-
ficient rule. Suppose you ask
yourself if the rights of Ameri-
can citizens are more highly re-
spected under democracy than
under republicanism.

clared that democracy stood for

American rights at home and

That the possibilities of the
teacher in the country school are
exceedingly great none will doubt
who has made the proper inves-
legations.
The service of the teacher in
the rural district is one of great
JOY and dignity.
The teacher who vii open her
eyes and see opportunities around
her. and who is willing to work
fearlesslv for the now order of
things in the country has great
opportunity for the development
of the character of the boys and
girls who in the near future will
be the leaders in the social, indus
trial and political affairs of the
nation. One draw back to the
more efficient country school is
the fact that so few teachers
choose country teaching as pro-
fession and make that teaching
a stepping stone to some other
vocation, or teach just enough to
get sufficient experience to quail
fy them as a town or city teacher.
Very recently ! ask a graduate
of one of our State Normal
schools to take a position as
teacher in a large school in the
country, the reply was: IF can
not get a position in a city school
| will not teach" So this fact
brings to my mind another fact
that of our dozen graduates from
our state normals not more than
one can be found in our country
schools and a very small per cent
of that number teaching at all.
Hence the Importance of the es-
Establishment of County High
Schools in our county to meet the
needs of our country people. We
often hear it said: | cant do this
or that because of the environ
ments, or havn't got time, or the
proper equipments. We forget
the fact that the country schools
is the social center around which
every other social condition IN
the country revolve. Our cOun-
try schools are the moral and
intellectual lever that lifts our
citizens from the growing depths
of ignorance and places them on
glorious sunlight of christianity
and civilization. We often hear
this statement; you can get the
by the men who know him best.
He has the largest train of rela-
tives of any man most, in the
County, and the fellows who en-
ter the race for County Judge
will find at the close of the cam
paign that there is lots of truth
in all that is here stated. He
will enter upon a vigorous cam
paign, and will be around to see
you and tell what he stands for.

boy out of the country, but you
) cant ret the country out of the
boy. Now what we need is to
put more spirit of country ard
country life into the boy-to en-
thuse him with the many golden
opportunities that is not found in
the city or town. Our schools
| should be the means of impart-
ing knowledge, that is a part of
the lives of the people, working
cur boys and girls to the oppor-
tunities around them in their
country homes, teaching them
the truths that make all real ed
ucation in terms of every day
life. The great trouble is too
many of us teachers are willing
to lie supremacy on our backs
hugging the delusive phantom
of hope waiting for perfect con-
ditions and equipments and not
starting to do things. believe it
was Henry Clay that said Don't
wait for something to turn up
but rather turn something up"
The opportunity to teach just
such things as the people need
together with the growing idea
that the schools must deal with
every day living is the greatest
form and movement in education.
1t is nice to have a college uni
versity education, but the great
need of today is teaching in terms
OF the lives of the peoples edu-
cation obtained from the books
of human experience written in
the language of the people. An
education that is alive, progress
sive, and practical. We need to
impart that kind of knowledge
that will train both mind and
muscle. Boys and girls must be
trained to meet the demands of
every day life and activity, which
concern human, welfare. Books
are tools not ends. We need to
carry practical results of human
experience to the people. to help
them with their own peculiar
. problems. We need that kind of
teaching that will cause our peo-
pile to know the fact that the
home is the center of the worlds
interests. and that education is
of value only as it lends to safe
guard and improves the home
