Such action would be an extension of the partial suffrage Kentucky women now enjoy. That state was the first in the union to trust it's women with the vote when in 1888 widows with children of school age were permitted to vcte on questions of school control.

Stafford. 'Tain't so. They used to be, but after the Fourth's results aw, there's nothing to it.
 Types we meet: The Public Spir- tied Man. Many things are that would ne'er have been unless there were men who do things for the good of the community. It is not uncom- mon to see the Public Spirited Man side-tracking his personal affairs. with the words "It can wait," while he turns attention to work that affects more widely in the community, wherein. incidentally, he is nothing short of God send. The Public Spirited Man is in many respects the personifioation of that something which is twin brother to national patriotism. Not unfrequently, there is attached to his labor no' com- pensation, yet you see him plugging along at some work in just the way that is pursued by the fellow who does thing for personal gain and sees much in the completion of his task. There are many lacking the qualities of being public spirited. To those that are, the pleasure accompany. ing their handwork overshadows by far that satisfaction that goes with the mercenary doer.
