The railroads are going at things
just about right-to force government
ownership. Although their earnings
for the past year or two have been
millions of dollars over those of pre-
vious periods, they are still low in
equipment. If this is one of the rea-
sons for the increased cost in living,
give us government ownership quickly.

If President Wilson will tie up that
proposed railroad tieup so tight that
it will never be able to get united, he
will confer lasting benefit on the
whole country. To have the country
scared stiff over a proposed railroad
strike is paralyzing.

The report of the State Superinten-
dent of Public instruction shows that
only about IS per cent of the children
of school age attended school last year.
Kentucky has strict laws requiring
parents to send their children to school
but these laws have never been en-
forced. We are a firm believer in
Moonlight Schools but Kentucky will
continue to be the most illiterate State

attendance is ignored.

national preparedness in the political
and moral sense. The arguments for
il lie not on one line only but on many.
We need il on the purely military
ground Of providing partially Trained
reserve TO support our regular army
and navy in case of attack and to fill
gaps in its ranks. We need it as a
supplement to our educational system,
in order to provide the best sort of in
dividual training. We need il most Of
all as a necessary safeguard for our
political institutions; as an object
lesson IN the reciprocity Of rights and
duties, without which politics de
generates into scramble for office and
privilege in which administrative
efficiency is sacrificed. In the light of
the history Of the last fifty years,
intelligent provision against the
possible dangers of war means
intelligent preparation for the certain
demands Of wel-ordered peace.
Whether the United States will be
called upon to face the necessity for
war is something which at the moment
when ! am writing no man can tell.
From the sleepy feeling Of over
security which we felt two years ago
we have been suddenly awakened to a
sense of danger; and, as usually
happens in such cases. the actual
amount of immense Of that danger is
probably exaggerated in our minds. II
is unlikely that any attack could be or
ganized against US at present which
well developed navy would be unable to
meet. But we have TO prepare for the
future as well as for the present. We
have to guard against internal dangers
as well as against external ones. We
have to train ourselves for the contests
of peace. as well as for those Of War.
For these purposes it is necessary that
our citizens should be as loyal. as
obedient. as efficient, as well organized,
as their nelghbors President Hadley

When he was Secretary of State. Mr..
Bryan wrote letter to the receiver of
Customs at Santo Domingo inquiring
as to what positions could be obtained
for deserving Democrats" Candi
date Hughes quoted this letter in his
speeches declaring it shameful, and the
Commoner comes back at him like a
thousand of brick. He says that he
enforced the civil service law to the
letter with the employees of the State
Department wherever it was in force,
but he felt free TO reward deserving
Democrats whenever it could be done
without detriment to the service.
Then after declaring that Mr.. Hughes
has shown himself prompt in dis
charging obligations" he hands it to
him thus:
when he was candidate for Governor
MIR. Hughes received the support of
the railroads Of New York, and he gen
erously repaid the debt by vetoing the
two-cent passenger rate bill. He did
not describe that as shame ful. When
a candidate for Governor he received
the support of the New York tax dod-
gers, the owners of swollen fortunes
and he paid his debt by sending a
message to the legislature protesting
against the income tax amendment to
the Federal Constitution. lie does not
describe that as shameful"
He is now being supported by the
railroads of the United Stotes. and be
expects to pay them back by aiding
them to escape state legislation and
find haven Of security in exclusive
Federal control over the railroads; he
is being supported by the Shipping
Trust, and expects 10 pay them Rack
by helping them to prevent Government
competition. He is supported hy the
trust magnates, aud expects 10 nav
them back by shielding them from
punishment for the eXtOrtion which
they desire TO practice; he is supported
BY Wall street and expects to pay them
back by spending American blood and
squandering money raised by taxation
in order to guarantee profits on spec
ulatlve investments.
"Aud yet, with the record which he
has made in paying his political
obligations at the expenses of the
public and with the pledges his speeches
contain to those who are now aiding
his ambitions, he has the impudence to
h d up for criticism legitimate effort
TO reward competent men for the serv-
ice which they have rendered to the
cause Of reform "
This seems TO have brought Mr..
Hughes TO his senses as he has not
referred directly TO the matter since
Mr.. Bryan's pointed structures Mr.
Hughes seeming determination 10
knock everybody and everything Dem
ocratic Is proving boomerang and he
will soon discover that to a man who
lives in such a thin glass house as he
does, it is very foolish performance

A great deal of time, labor and
money is being given just now in an
effort to find preventative for infan-
tile paralysis, just as for many years
men devoted their lives in an effort to
find a typhoid vaccine. If reports Of
the regular army are to be believed,
there has not been case of typhoid
IN that organization since tie use of
the vaccine was required of all soldiers,
and it is practically unknown in Europe
today in the armies where vaccination
is required. This seems proof sufficient
that the typhoid vaccine is an absolute
preventative. The percentage of ty-
phoid ir Garrard County is much greater
than the percentage of Infantlle pa
ralysis in New York, and typhoid is a
preventable disease.
