TEACHERS no ATTEND
FROM ALL OVER STATE

More than 5000 teachers, repre-.
senting every county in Kentucky
are expected to be in Louisville to-
day for the opening sessions of the
Kentucky Educational Association,
the advance enrolment having bro
ken all records. '..
r. e. Williams, secretary of the
association, said Monday that super
intendents of public schools in the
counties and cities have co-operated
in securing this advance enrolment
more generally than ever before.
Several county superintendent have
sent in advance enrollments, togeth-
er with the membership fees for ev-
cry teacher and school trustee in
their counties.
Another thing that is expected to
contribute toward making the COM
ing meeting of the Kentucky Educa-
tional Association the most success
full ever held, in point of numbers
attending, is that never before has
an equal number of schools through
out the State been closed in order to
give the teachers an opportunity to
be present at its sessions.

AN APPEAL TO BARNES
TO HIT SAWDUST TRAIL

Again We appeal to William
Barnes to hit the sawdust trail ere
il is too late.
The Billy Sunday of Oyster Bay
is conducting the greatest revival
that the Republican party has ever
known. Elihu Root is singing in
the choir. "The great Morgan in
terests which have been so friendly
to us" are taking up the collection,
with a casual eye on George w. Per-
kins. who is acting as head usher.
Chancellor Day is on the mourners'
bench. Boss Penrose is in the Amen
Corner, ready to give testimony as
soon as the Evangelist comes
across" with certain definite assur-
ances of salvation. The devil and
Charles E. Hughes are both on the
run, and Wall Street has not been
in such a state of ecstacy since E. H.
Hartman made his visit to the
White House in the fall of 1904.
Doesn't every fber in Barnes be-
ing thrill when Root sings onward,
Christian Soldiers" and the Colonel
punches the pulpit by way of keep
Jig time?
We have always looked forward to
the day when Barnes would cease to
be a boss and become a leader. The
opportunity is finally here. Barnes
can be saved if he will only deliver
the goods. Why does he hang back
with publicans and sinners and deny
the faith?-[New York World.

POOR MOTHER GOOSE IS
RULED OUT OF SCHOOL

New Orleans, April 15.-Tht
Louisiana State Board of Education
has put its foot down on Mother
GOOse's rhymes to-day. throwing out
a reader series because of these dit.
ties in them. Gov. L. E. Hall, Prof
R. X. Boney of Duckport, Prof. L.
H. Gosserand of New Orleans and
Prof. d. M. Atkins of Arcadia, four
members of the board who are Dem
ocrats, plantation born and reared,
thought they belittled the farmer.
Now" said Gov. Hall, look at
this rhyme:"
A gentleman rides gallopy-tr0t,
And farmer rides hobble-de-hoy.
81 won't vote for a reader that
contains such reflections on the
Louisiana farmer"
The Executive cited others he
classed as absurd and belittling to
that class the city folks sneeringly
refer to as hayseeds and rubes."
State Superintendent of Educa-
ton T. H. Harris and other members
of the board fought valiantly for the
rhymes, but were outvoted.

POSITIVE STAND TAKEN
IN WILSON'S FINAL NOTE
Definite Attitude Of the United
States On Subject OF Sub
marine Warfare.

Washington, April 17.-Presiden
Wilson late to-day completed the
communication to Germany or sub.
marine warfare and sent for Chair.
man Stone, of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, for a confer.
ence.
This action was in line with the
Presidents policy of keeping Con-
gress informed of the progress of
the negotiations.
The document is designed as the
final word of the United States on
the subject.
The document, officials said, will
press the submarine issue to de-
cision. 1t was reiterated that the
Sussex case would form only link
in the chain of evidence the United
States will present to Germany to
show that her promises have not
been fulfilled.
The document is characterized by
officials as being very positive in
tone, and they believe that only
prompt acquiescence by Germany in
the position taken by the United
States can prevent break in diplo-
matte relations. ..,
Unofficial dispatches from Berlin
that the German govern
ment is ready to meet the United
States more than half way, it was
said. will not change the course of

on at Fridays cabinet meeting.

have agreed on the steps to be taken,

EXPRESS HOPE FOR
EARLY ADJOURNMENT

Washington, April 15.-Hopes for
adjournment of Congress as early as
July / are expressed here, following
conference between Speaker Clark
Majority Leader Kitchin, of North
Carolina, and Democratic members
of the House Rules Committee, of
which Representative ]. Campbell
Cantrill is a member. The conferees
failed to decide upon their definite
program of speeding up" and will
resume their work soon.
1t was practically settled here
that upon certain periods of every
month brief night sessions will be
held for consideration of private pen
sion bills and other small legislative
matters.
The Rules Committee, it is believ-
ed, has determined that general de-
bate upon all important appropria-
ton bills will be cut many hours less
than usually have been given these
matters. At present the length of
general debate is fixed by conference
on the floor when the bills are called
up, and in many cases the majority
is forced to yield to the importuni-
ties of members desiring to make
extended addresses. II special rules
were brought in and adopted the
length Of debate would be fixed.

German Clocks Set Back.

Berlin, April 17.-Through the
adoption by the Bundesrath of the
Saving Daylight" plan, under which
all clocks on Empire will be set
ahead one hour on May l, Germany
becomes the first country to put such
an innovation into general effect.
In adopting the change the coun-
try is moved by the desire to save
illuminants and fuel quite as much
as by the health arguments common
ly advanced. ''. 't
The only embarrassment expected
is in foreign railway connections,
but traffic abroad is SO light at pres
ent that the additional annoyance
will be of slight importance.

The Bowling Green Messenger,
commenting on what we said last
week about a law being passed by
the recent Legislature exempting
one dog free of tax to the head of
each family, says that no such law
was ever enacted. 1t is possible that
the Messenger is mistaken. In our
issue of March 22, front page, we
printed a list of these new enact
ments, which was first printed in the
Louisville daily papers. This list
contained the dog exemption para

It's an old axiom that the little
boy who was kicked by a calf had
nothing TO say. and it sometimes
serves as a lesson of mental mani
ton. But somehow we never placed
much faith in that story. Maybe he
did not audibly say anything, but
the calf kick gave him a little lesson
or intimation of the knocks that
might yet be awaiting him along
life's pathway and spurred him to
be ever ready and on the lookout.
Next time he would stand clear of
the calf's hoofs-of criticism for
slothfulness. While his voice was
perhaps silent, his mind was out
spoken in its determination. He
did not lack something TO say. He
was getting a simple lesson beyond
words to reply.

Anything to beat Wilson! That's
the game nowadays among the Re-
publican and Progressive cohorts,
who less than four years ago were
flying at each others threats with
cries of Fraud! Thievery! Scoun-
drelism!' and other discriminating
accusations. The aim is to try to
get each faction and the public to
forget this scandalous political mess
and all join together in an effort to
prevent the greatest President the
country ever had from continuing
his duties. It's great game, alto
gether political Wilson's defeat is
asked simply to crafty opposing po-
litical animus and greed.

Col. Roosevelt has virtually got
the Republican party by the neck.
Posing apparently as a tentative can
didate and Withholding the formal
announcement of his candidacy for
President, he is at the same time
debating the terms of his nominal
ton, with the alternative of a repe-
tition of his action in 1912, when he
smashed the party that had so splen-
didly honored him. 1t is all typical
of the Roosevelt method and men,

uation and all factions of his party
must kowtow to him or risk the re-
suit of his displeasure. He warns
them that they must take him just
as he is-and has been.
