LANES MH1TCONIB RILEY.

Indiana mourns the loss of her
son and poet. James Whitcomb Riley.
Her sister States mourn with her and
one of the saddest among them is
Kentucky.
Kentucky loved the Hoosier Poet
whose songs were so true to life and
so adaptable to conditions in the
Blue Grass State. One of the most
pleasant evenings spent by Hartford
people in years was when they sat
in the College Hall two years ago and
listened to sketch of the life of
Riley and heard his songs resung by
an able lyceum reader. They are
sorry now that the string of poems
is completed and that one with such
a clear vision of nature has return
ed to the dust from whence he came
They think, they're sad and can only
murmur, II bid you thus fond fare
we'll too deep for words or tears to
tell"

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS- IN TOWN

Mr.. John T. Haswell, Jr., of Har-
dinsburg, candidate for Congress in
the Republican primary to be held
August fifth, next, is in Ohio coun-
~ this week making a canvass.
When seen by a reporter of The
Republican he said that he had made
thorough canvass of the district
and had no doubt of winning the
nomination, easily. His home coun-
~, breckenridge will give him q
larger majority than any of his op-
ponents will get in their home coun-
ties. He is assured that he will car
~ at least eight, and perhaps nine,
counties out OF the thirteen in the
district.
Mr.. Haswell has conducted his
campaign on high plane and it has
been entirely free from any abuse OF
his opponents. His wide and eX-
tensive acquaintance throughout the
Fourth District is a valuable asset TO
him in his race and would make him
a very formidable candidate against
Congressman Ben Johnson in Novem-
Der.
Mr.. Haswell thinks that the cleo
tion of Hughes and Fairbanks is GER
tain and that the chances to carry
the Fourth district and Kentucky are
more than even. In the campaign
last fall Mr.. Haswell made six
speeches in Ohio county for Judge
Slack, Hon. c. E. Smith and Hon. Ed
Morrow and the State ticket and
therefore feels that he has some claim
for favorable consideration from
Ohio county voters.

BRANDEIS RESIGNS FROM
JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS

Boston, July 24.-Louis ID. Bran.
deis, Associate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, today tender
ed his resignation from the Execu-
tive Committees of the American
Jewish Relief Organization and the
Jewish Congress. In explanation OF
this action, his secretary, Jacob Dc
Haas, said that the Justices judicial
duties prevented him from giving the
necessary time to the work of the
committees.
Mr.. De Hass said that a report that
Justice Brandeis was considering re-
tirement from all Jewish activities
was incorrect, and that he still re-
tanned interest in various organiza-
lions.
The Justice started today for va
cation of ten days.

Political Amendments.

That the prisons of Kentucky are
fast being put back into politics is
evinced by the rapid changes in the
personnel of the prison employees
being made daily by Governor Stan
ley or the board of prison commits
sioners, at his request.
Three changes within a few days
occurred this week. Warden A. j. G.
Wells was removed from the peniten-
, tiary at Frankfort and replaced by T.
Mack Phythian, personal attendant
of Governor Stanley during his cam
paign and since.
John w. Mullikin was deposed
from his position as head of the
Houses of Reform at Greendale and
Ernest j. Howell, OF greensboro,
manager of Stanley's congressional
and gubernatorial campaigns in that
county, succeeded him.
Eugene Ray, of Louisville, was re-
placed as secretary of the state
board of prison commissioners by
Ed Shinnick, OF Shelbyville. The
rapid changes. following on the
heels of the administration prison
law passed by the 1915 legislature
indicate that Governor Stanley is
bent on using the prison board and
its power for political purpose.
Ernest j. Howell, who now is
charged with the reform of erring
boys and girls at Greendale, was
deputy sheriff in Daviess county. He
has lived in greensboro for some
time. Several years ago he started
there as a barber and later engaged

MANY GUARDSMEN ON
BORDER DISSATISFIED
I 500 WHO HAVE DEPENDENTS
ASK FOR RELEASES EACH
WEEK.

San Antonio, Tex, July 26.-Ap-
plications for release from service OF
National Guardsmen with persons
dependent upon them are pouring
into army headquarters at Fort Sam
Houston at the rate of /, 500 a week
it was announced today. Several
hundred already have been releas-
cd.
The vast majority of the applica-
tions do not come from the guards
men themselves, but from wives,
mothers and sisters, and Congress-
men interested in their cases. TWEEN
ty-five releases were signed this
morning.
Military authorities say that be-
cause of the release of Guardsmen
with dependents and the prospect
that many other Guardsmen will be
freed from service so that they may
return to college, the military situa-
tion in one respect soon will be great
ly changed. When the movement of
the National Guardsmen began, they
say, there were many men without
equipment, whereas the future will
see much equipment without men.

has been filed away.
Shortly after he was indicted
Howell moved to West Louisville, a
village twenty miles west of Owens
boro, where he again engaged in the
barbering business and conducted Il

he a man of little education, but is
nevertheless charged with the char
acter formation of children.
Stanley endeavored TO have How

president. II is stated in Greensboro
that certified copies of the indict-

SENATOR MAKES CHARGES
Says Guard Was Sent to Border Un-
Ger False Pretenses.

Washington, July 24.-Charges
that the National Guard was sent to
the Mexican border under false pre-
lenses were made by Senator Town
send to-day during debate on the
army appropriation bill. He urged
that the military forces not in actual
service ought TO be sent home.
1T is now apparent to everybody
that the National Guard is not going
to Mexico, and they were modified
under false pretenses." said the Sen
ator. Diplomatic correspondence
between the United States and Mexi-
co disclose that there never was any
intention of sending them into Mex
ico."
Heavy reductions in army bill
items made Saturday were not con-
tinued today. A reaction of senti-
ment apparently had set in. Sever
al Senators urged that retrenchment
should not be carried too far because
of the present favorable aspect of the
Mexican situation, and a proposal to
cut in half a 100000 appropria-
ton for small arms drew protests
from Senators Summins, Jones, Town
send and others.
"There can be no mistake in appro-
priating literally for manufacture OF
small arms" said Senator Jones.
1--WE read of improved conditions on
the border. but Notwithstanding this
an outbreak may occur any moment
that will make Il necessary for us to
send more soldiers in Mexico"
The Senate, however, by a vote of
25 to 23, agreed to cut the appro-
priation to $2.5OO,0O0. Senator
Reed insisted a majority did not
know what they were voting for and
gave notice he would ask for an
other vote when the bill got out of
the committee of the whole.

THE WESTERN NORMAL LETTER.

In summing up educational condi-
lions in Western Kentucky the Wes-
tern Normal Letter for June, prepar-
ed by Psof. A. c. Burton, contains
the following:
"In Western Kentucky we have
a population of about a million and
a third. Practically a million of
them live in the open country. Near
ly all of them are native born white
people. More than two-thirds of
them own the land on which they
live.
All this is good, but many of the
children go to school irregularly or
do not go. For those who go the
term is short, the equipment not the
best, and the teachers often poorly
trained.
From the children who should
now be in school we shall need for
the future five thousand teachers,
five thousand lawyers, doctors and
ministers, forty thousand business
men, forty thousand skilled laborers.
The schools may be able to furnish
these, but we shall also need one
hundred eighty thousand housekeep-
ers, and one hundred thirty thousand
farmers, all of whom should have
culture, high ideals and skill for
their work. We have been measur-
ing our schools by their ability to
furnish leaders. We must come to
measure them by their ability to pre-
pare the whole mass for effective
work and citizenship.
1.-THE Normal School is anxious to
see the problem as whole and to
assume its full responsibility for flu
ture Western Kentucky. But may
we not hope TO have the assistance
and cooperation of every teacher,
every county superintendent, every
trustee and eventually of every cit
izen? Our problem is great, but it
can be solved. May we count on you
to help?"
Prof. Burton is right. The prob
lem is great, but he is also right when
he says that it can be solved. The
Normal is making great strikes along
this line but the Normal. going it
alone, can never accomplish the aim.
We must all get behind in this work
and sweeten the fragrance of the
Pennyrile with a flavor of efficacy
