Land Leasing Bill.

The land leasing bills that have passed the House of Represen-
tatives 8 anything but constructive legislation 81 far Is the West is
concerned, and it is probably only a matter of time until the western
states will have to accept them. But we imagine that by the time
these bills get through the Senate they will have been shorn of the
original intention of their drafters-even then they will be deadly
enough to work a hardship on the West that will probably take a
century to rectfy, and then only in part. Even should this move
ment prove 10 raw that it would be found necessary to repeal it in a
short time it would in that time wreck the West beyond recognition.
OF course the exact effect can not be estimated and all opinions
SO far ae based only upon speculation, though we of the West
have seen the result of state land selections, and from them we are
able to Judge as to the general action that will follow the federal
lease, be it mineral, water power or public domain. These leasing
bills at best are only d cradle for the rearing of gigantic land
schemes, which can not help but be born at their inception, when
the bills become effective laws. Regardless of the precautions taken
to avoid big holdings there has as yet never been discovered an atom
of cure of any kind. Out of the struggle to possess may come some

A Substantial Invitation

The Fiscal Court of Montgom-

invitation to our county to meet
them there. Will we do it?
This road is one promised I'M

voted, and according to an equal
apportionment will get 81 Ill per
mile. This added towhat sub

road over this route, owing to
the convenience of material along
the road. We are for it.

Timely Warning.

There are q plumber of grade
railway crossings in Powell coun-
ty. Several Of them are very
dangerous Scores of people are
being killed in the United States
at just such crossings as we have
in this county. Street cars in
this state are not allowed to cross
railroad track until motor
man goes in advance and looks
both ways for trains. Then if
none are coming in sight toward
the crossing the street cars are al
lowed to pass, But with auto
mobiles how different. They
rush past a railway crossing soon
as they can, many of them giving
no apparent consideration for
probable trains. Some day some
persons are liable to be killed in
Powell county as they are being
killed in other counties. Better
read the following warning of
railroad Official and avoid such a
possibility:
Chicago, Sept. 10, 1916.
"To those who drive or ride in
Automobiles:
"Tbe constantly increasing
number of automobile accidents
at grade crossings prompts theirs
suance of this warning to all who
own, drive or ride in, automobiles
to STOP, L0OKand LISTEN be-
fore passing over any railway
grade crossing. Crossing gates,

headlights and engine signals, if
not needed by those for whose
protectldns tHa agesintended, are
unavailing. will be glad to re-
ceiye and consider suggestions In
tended to reduce automobile &C
cidents at grade crossings, for the
railroad is anxious to do its full
part. However, if any person
who owns, drives or rides in an
automobile will STOP, LOOK
and LISTEN at grade crossings,
the danger will be entirely elm.

and began running down the hill.
When near the foot of the hill
the buggy was overturned, the

Fiscal Court Meets.

The Powell Fiscal Court met at
Its stated October meeting Tues
day. All memb ers of the court
were present, and the allowance
of claims was taken up. A num-
Der of these were passed upon by
the Court in the forenoon. In
the afternoon the court was busy
making settlements with various
officers. The road question was
not entered into, as an early de-
cision of the Court of Appeals
upon the question of the legality
of road commission in the coun-
ty is expected, so the matter was
deferred until such decision could
be had. The case which has been
appealed we learn has been set
for hearing by the Court of Ap.
peals October II. Soon after this
date the Fiscal Court will come
together again and take up its
unfinished business, and the road
business also, provided the decis-
ion of Judge Shackelford to the
effect that a road commission in
Powell is illegal, is upheld by the
Court of Appeals.

was not given the first reading, the
teacher made them read it over I'M
til they did bring out the right one.
1t was a delight to hear the several
grades read. The higher the grade,
the more improvement there was.
And such writing as those pupils
did. Everey word was written ON
the board neatly, no zizaging Cup
and down, but every letter SYM /,
metricai and the right height. Why,
they could beat a majority of the
older students to-day in our col
leges in writing. The room was
clean and neat, no papers scattered
over the room, every book in place,
every pupil taking pride in the Or
der and looks of the room. Is it
any wonder that this teacher has
no trouble in having a room full of
children. And how they love that
teacher. Strict he is, but they APP
preciate his strictness. And the
patrons of that district appreciate
Prof. Ringo so much that each pa
tron pays him one dollar extra that
he may teach their school. If they
had to give him five dollars or ten
dollars extra, it would pay them in
big returns. Prof. Ringo seldom if
ever uses the switch. Again the
writer says it would pay every
teacher in Powell county to take a
trip over there and visit that school.
The writer does not intend to cast
reflections on our teachers in our
own county but at the same time
there is wide room for improvement
in many of our schools. Go into
many schools and there is a whis-
pering and buzzing sound all over
the room. The pupils are noisy,
very often going in and out of the
room from morning till night, go
ing up to the teacher continually
and asking what this or that word
is, or asking permission to leave the
room, to speak to another pupil or
to get drink of water Papers are
scattered all over the room; books
all over the desk, The children
read in a sing song tone and do
not bring but the right infections,
and meaning to the words and often
the teacher never corrects them.
Some may think the writer is rather
severe in this article but if you will
go with him to some schools he has
visited, he thinks he can proYe to
yo1 that he has not told it all yet.

The writer has visited many
schools in Eastern Kentucky but the
finest school ever visited was the
one taught by Prof. Ringo on East
Ferk of Slate in Menefee county.
1t would pay every teacher in Pow
ell county to visit that school and
see what can be done by a teacher
who really teaches. From the min
ute the writer stepped into the room
there was not a whisper heard and
during the two hours he was there
there was hardly a noise heard but
every pupil was busy studying his
or her lesson. Not a pupil left the
room nor did they keep going up to
the teacher asking questions or
wanting to know what this or that
word was. There was perfect Or
der everywhere. But the best part
of the school was in the reciting of
their lessons. 1t was wonderful the
way those second grade pupils read
from their readers. They never
stumbled on a word, nor did they
read in a sing song tone as a ma
jority Of children do. They gave
the right emphasis and nfectionlon
every word. Ii the right infection
