gent and patriotic men to frame
the laws under which they are to
live, and be governed by; the
rank and file of the people be-
lieve in justice, Ihave confidence
in their intelligence, | have faith
in their sense of justice, and be-
lieve that the institutions of our
country are safe in their hands.
Government of the people, for
the people and by the people is
in my judgement one Of the most
important questions of the age.
The people are indignant against
the repeated and fragrant viola
tion by men who pledge them
protection, justice and a clean
administration, and then, after
election, repudiate and violate
their solemn obligations. The
people are indignant against leg
islators, and members Of City
Councils and County officers who
are continually thwarting the
will of the people and voting
against wholesale legislation at
the instance of gigantic corpor-
ations of the state and cities.
The battle cry of the rule of the
people is spreading throughout
the entire land without regard to
political afiliation. en-,

$500, 900 Road Bonds.

Owensboro, KY, Feb. o.
The decision Of the court of ap-
peals at Frankfort in the case Of
Bowman against Fayette county,
wherein the court ruled that il
required only a majority Of the
voters Of the county to instruct
fiscal courts to issue road bonds
will mean that Daviess county
will issue 5000, 600 worth Of road
bonds this year. Last year an
election was held and the bond
proposition failed to get a two.
thirds vote by ssventy.two votes
However, local attorneys inves-
tigated the law and held that
the amendment to the road law
only required a majority vote in
q bond issue.

GRADUATES OF
COMMON School
Problem Of What to Do With The m
Need and Must Have More
Room and Equipment

This is Crittenden's banner
year for common school gradu-
ates. Already there are one
hundred and two who have sue.
cessfully passed the required ex-
animation, and the May exami-
nation is yet to come. Last year
was our best year up to that.
We had seventy-hve for the
county. Before this the number
had ranged from thirty to fifty.
The ages of these at present time
range from thirteen to seven
teen. Time was when the ages
ranged from eighteen to twenty
four. An approximate estimate
shows that at least. fifty per cent
Of all the eighth grade pupils in
the rural schools this year com.
pleted the work, took the re.
quired examination and received
their promotion certificates. An
optomistic consideration of these
conditions indicate improvement
in many ways: efficient teachers,
longer terms, uniform course OF
study and daily program, more
liberal laws, better equipp e d
houses and grounds, together
with some other things that could
be thought Of. 1t all means
progress. There are many other
things that could be done to
make the schools Of the county
more efficient. and come nearer
accomplishing the object Of their
mission. but ] will mention only
one here. The sub-districts are
too small. We have too many
schools to maintain with the
means we have at hand. The
work is not sufficiently amassed,
but there are plans formulating
which will help this condition.
When this is done and other i'm.
provements are brought to bear
the country boy and girl will be
able to complete the common
school work by the time they are
thirteen or fourteen years old.
This brings US face to face with
another grave problem. What
will we do with the common
school graduate? Really this
question is upon US now.

LETTER FROM
REP. Ed. Stone
Tells III About What is Happening
in The State Legislature
at Frankfort
DEAR FRIENDS:


session of the Kentucky State
Legislature will adjourn, leaving
an unjust burden on the people.
! introduced a resolution provi-
ding for a committee to be ap-
pointed from the House and SEN
ate with the power to inquire in
to and investigate the expendi-
lures Of all departments of the
State, and suggest ways and
means of curtailing expenses and
reducing the number of employ
es, said resolution was buried in
the house.
The State wide prohibition
amendment met with defeat in
the Senate and House. ! labor
ed aa6 vetee for the amendment.
| have satisfactory evidence OF a
sufficient majority to pass the
Dog Bill in the House and as to
the Senate's attitude in regard
to said bill ] cannot state accur-
ately.
One Of the most important
questions to the people of this
state is taxation and yet this ses
sion has made no effort to con-
slider a revision Of the tax law.
This Democratic administration
owes an equitable tax system to
the people, and that could have
been done at this session of the
Legislature. Yet, realizing that
no one man or set Of men can
rulesa majority. ! have complied
with every promise made by me
to my constituents. Those
promised measures should be. by
right and justice to the people
enacted into law.
As ! have promised nv con-
stitutents heretofore that | shall
hold no party prejudice, but
labor daily for the welfare and
future betterment of the people
of Crittenden and Livingston
counties, upholding the banner
Of clean government, clean pol
itics and manhood, Every rep
resentative owes to his people
protection, he was elected to
render a square deal to the mass
Of the people.
We should advocate the pro-
motion of genuine popular gov
ernment in our state and nation,
and the defense of human rights,
and the establishment of social
and industrial justice, so that
every force in the community
may be directed toward securing
for the average man and woman
a higher, better and fuller life in
the things of the body no less
than those of the mind and soul.
Every great resolution among
the nations Of the earth has been
the fruit Of unrestrained greed
and avarice. II was the greed
and avarice of the barons that
drove Cromwell into rebellion.
The injustice and cruelty Of the
wealthy classes Of France
brought on the terrible revolution
that devastated the most highly
cultivated nation among men. II
was the greed and avarice Of the
slave owner that brought on the
war Of the great rebellion. 0ul
menace is the greed and avarics
Of men who seek to control leg
islation for personal gain, and Il
correct the evils that grow ou'
ef this condition we must place
more responsibility upon tn,

er into the peoples hands, s,

that exist in our legislative hall

MILITARY TRAINING
AT UNIVERSITY

vermillion, s. D.-Mdhtary train
ing at University ~ South Dakota
is advocatetl as a patriotic dufy in
an article which appeared last week
in the Volante. the Student paper.
Glen Leavitt, a senior, from Ar
lington, s. d., is the author. He
argues that the University OF
South Dakota should adopt
system of military training, In
mding drdM and tactics. to help
furnish a volunteer force trained
and ready in time cf national need
Such military training" he de-
clares, lis not intended TO in
aim a spirit of hatred for any
iation or nations i'm those gathered
II institutions of learning. but to
reate an army sufficiently large
to discourage attack and at the
lme time impart a training that is
of value to each student and to
school,
The writer poirats out the increas
ed activities along this line on
the part of other institutions, as
mes. Yale, Cornell. Princeton and
Conn ectitut, where greater effort rs
icing made to assist in the nation
II preparedness program. The is-
e lis one he says that the
University Of South Dakota should
'aae as patrioticatly and promptly
IS Yale or the University of Cali
'Ornia."
In 1906 military training at the
University Of South Dakota was
abandoned. It's dis ipinary fea-
lures were unpopular with the
Students. and it was not supported
gholehealtedly by the administra-
ion of the Uni versity at the time.
Although the events i'm the past
wo years have brought a change In
attitude Of many Of the STU
dents. sentiment is still divided in
me student body On the matter.
President Slagle has expressed
himself as being in favor of rein
,rodais ton of MILITARY training at
the University. There is a lively
discussion of the question at pre-
sent at the University.
