We have received some letters rela-
tive TO the recent examination for
teachers, in which some of the writers,
apparently applicants for certificates,
take us to task for stating that the ap-
picants violated an oath when they
received or gave aid during the exam
nation. We do not know If the oath
was administered or not at this exam
nation. IL is customary TO do it, but
il is immaterial whether or not it was
done. The person who does receive
or give aid when taking an examina-
ton Of this kind, is absolutely untitled
for teacher, no matter whether they
take any oath or not. They know the
purpose Of the examination is to de-
termine whether or not they have the

knowledge and ability to teach our
children, and by cheating in order to
obtain a certificate they admit that
they have not the necessary knowl-
edge. In our mind, the first qualifica-
ton of teacher should be honesty,
as children come under their guidance
when at very susceptible age, and if
teachers are not thoroughly honest in
every respect, it is hardly to be hoped
that they can instill that virtue into
their pupils. Orr former opinion still
stands; we do not believe that any ap-
plicant who either received or gave
aid during the examination, should be
granted certificate, no matter wheth-
er or not they took an oath not to do SO.

Kentuckians pay approximately $l0,-
900, 900 tax per year to run their State
and county governments, and the tax
payers are kicking day and night on ac-
count of it. At the same time these
people are paying directly through the
Internal Revenue source of collection,
taxes to run the Federal Government
more than $37 ,OO0, 900 per year, or near
ly four times as much as they pay for
our local government, and we do this
without complaint.
We see the benefits of our State and
county taxes, but where are the bene-
fits of our unobserved Government
tax?

The Board of Trade Journal" is the
name of a new magazine gotten out by
the Louisville Board of Trade. 1t is
devoted to the promotion of Louisville
business and the State of Kentucky in
general. We are always glad to see a
boost of anything in Kentucky when it
is worthy. On the other hand we are
just SO anxious to give any undeserv-
ing project in the State kick down.

Geo. Hon, one of Powell county's
native sons, who has become very
prominent among the business men of
Winchester, " i'll make the race for Sem
ator in the Clark, Montgomery, and
Bourbon district next year. Mr.. Hon
has strong following in his adopted
county, and it is safe to say that
should he be nominated, he will make
a representative that the counties
would be justly proud Of.
The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1916-07-13

1t appears that there are some land
owners in Powell county who are SO
short sighted that they are demanding
Of the county full damages for the
land that will be required to build a
pike through their property. 1t is
true that there are not many of this
kind and the amount they claim is
very small, but it is the principle of
the thing that makes its appearance
worse. II these men will only stop to
consider the benefits that they will
obtain from the pike, we cannot be-
lieve that they will continue their de-
mand. In many cases it will be nee
essary to take small portion of land
in order to straighten the road or
avoid bad hill and, as the landowner
is the one who will derive the greatest
benefit from the pike, he should be
willing to make some concessions.
Think of the man who lives several
miles from the pike. He pays just as
much tax as the one living right on it
and pays it cheerfully, hoping for the
day when he will have the chance to
give little of his land for a pike to
pass his door. These same men who
demand damages would be sore as
boil should the Commission decide to
go three or four miles from thier farm
in order to save the county from pay
ing damages.

Admitted She Did Wrong.
Yes, she now, for the first time, real
lied that she was doing herself, her
children, her husband and, above all,
the home merchant a grave wrong
by sending her husbands earnings to
an out Of town competitor, but she
would never do it again.
The world is full of just such wo-
men as described above. They do not
think or understand, but when they
do no power on earth viii swerye them
from their sense of right and duty.
Then let US change all this and get
together. 1t is only right and honora-
bic and just to ourselves and high time
TO reform-to adopt the buying at home
system Of everything we need.
Even If some of the neighbors have
not yet learned that they owe duty
10 their town it cannot be said that
sheir case Is hopeless, for we can SET
them Il good example.
We can show by action that we will
never be party to putting the loca

of patronage.
