Has Learned Value Of Thrift

Madame Genee. the world-famed
ballet dancer, is the latest notoriety
to magnify the virtues of thrift. AS
an example, she determined to adapt
her old dresses as long as she could
do so with decency during the war,
and in an interview she stated that
she had only procured one new dress
since its commencement. Had there
been no war she probably would have
been richer or poorer, she said, by at
least ten. 'Now l find that instead
of being a source Of distress to me
the loss Of so many dresses has been
a gain, though the money that have
been in pocket has all gone, of course,
to the prince of Wales and other
funds l am afraid when the war is
over the dressmaker will not find me
waltzing into her boudoir so frequent
Iy as have DONE"

GOES BACK TO ARIsTOPHANES
Punctuation System Said to Have
Been First Employed by Famous
Greek Philosopher.

The punctuation marks which sep
arate and conclude sentences and
thereby simplify the perusal of what
is written are said to have been first
employed by Aristophanes. The sys-
Htem devised by him was not, however,
eneTa1y known, and soon fell again
lrto complete oblivion. It was nearly
y thousand years before a similar at
tempt was again made. 1t was in the
time of Charles the Great that punctu-
alton marks were again introduced in
to writing at the instigation of the dis
tinguish cd linguists Warnefried and
Alcuin. These signs also, however,
fell into disuse., The present system
of punctuation, now used in all mod
ern languages with but insignificant
variations, was introduced in the first
half Of the fifteenth century by Vene-
tian printer named Aldus Manutius.
He is the real father of our punctua-
tion marks, of the full stop, comma,
se6lic0lon, colon, question and exclam-
alton Aarks, apostrophe and inverted
commas. Manutius system was adopt
ed later by all printers until it finally
established itself throughout Europe.

in every way. "Why, mon, we're jist

LEARN TO DO BY DOING.

Theory and book learning are not
of secondary Importance. They occu-
py major positions in every form OF
education. Without them experience
would not be well founded.
Thinking and planning begin in the
ory, but are valuable only if they
20 beyond theory and enter practice.
The dreamer, even though he may
possess marvellous talents, remains
itheorist, and little that he does ac-
complishes anything. He begins and
does not finish.
The best way to learn to-do a thing
is to do it, or to try to do it, even
though the first result may be untn-
ished and near to worthless.
The pencil draft, born in the mind,
;needs linking in," so to speak, and
those finishing touches which enable
one to build something from it. Exact
though it may be, it does not prove
its reliability until that which it rep
resents is actually done.
Many a young man equipped with a
technical education enters the world
of business feeling that his diploma
entities him to immediate recognition
and to a high position. This knowl-
edge, which the school has given him,
is the best foundation he can have;
for, if he has been good student,
he is equipped for accomplishment
If, however, he expects this theoreti-
cal and partially practical training
to obtain for him commanding po-
sition at the start, he is sure to be
disappointed. He has done well. He
began right. He has in him a knoWl-
edge which may be Of untold benefit
to him, yet this school or book edu-
cation, valuable as it is, needs work
ing out in the shop of trade or the
Office of business, where he will learn
to do by doing.
However liberal the school may be,
it is only the beginning of his educa-
tion. It simply equips him to handle
himself to better advantage. He then
goes out into the practical world,
and, with this more or less theoretical
knowledge, attempts to do things.
When he has done these things, he
has added to his academic knowledge
that experience which, combined with
what goes before it, makes him more
proficient than he would have been if
he had enjoyed either one without the
other.
Therefore, 1 say to you, young man,
get all the school education that you
can use to advantage. Realize the
value of technical training, whether
it is in mechanics or in business.
Learn the theory, and then practice
on that theory.
Learn to do by doing, even though
what you do may be full of faults.
Your mistakes. if properly treated,
will be stepping-stones to accomplish
ment. Keep on doing, however, look
ing upon each experiment or action
as part of your training, which
training should continue as long as
you live, for you never will reach pro-
ficiency, nor will you ever approach
it, if you forget to learn while you
are doing
There is no place in this world for
the fellow who will not learn, or who
thinks that he has finished his educa-
tion.
Business never graduates its pupils.
They are in school forever.

He is Merely
Playing Politics

That is the true inwardness of
the Presidents flop. He is
merely playing politics. His
quick conversion to the Tariff
commission plan needs no other
explanation. The situation call
ed for an about-face on that
question. Condemnation and
deceit stored the Free-Trade
party in the face. I'VE are
licked" said the party leaders.
Something must be done to
sidetrack the agitation for a
Protective Tariff; something that
will split the Protection party;
something that will check the
public demand for the repeal of
the Underwood Tariff; a Tariff
commission will be "a good
enough Morgan until after the
election. " So the President
has notified the chairman of the
Ways and Means Commute that
because of changed conditions"
he has decided in favor of a
Tariff commission. He has not,
however, stated what the
changed conditions are, or in
what particular they differ from
the conditions that existed a few
weeks ago, when he frowned
upon the Tariff commission plan
and insisted that existing gov
ernmental agencies were ample
for all purposes. But this fiimsy
plea is stamped on its face with
bad faith. There has been no
change of conditions.
1t will be observed that the
President has arranged a formid-
able catalogue of inquiry and in
vestigation. The subjects that
he wants taken up by a Tariff
commission would. if thoroughly
considered, consume several
years of time. 1t looks like
playing for delay, like "sparring

New Rules

We would suggest that a set of
new rules be inaugurated in case
of a fire, as follows:
When you hear the fire alarm,
start running and yelling, don't
make any difference which way
you run just 50 that you keep up
the yelling. Don't try to get the
fire apparatus to the scene of the
fire, it is not necessary, all you
have to do is to get there first if
possible, but don't forget to yell
all the time, it helps to excite
the fire and scare it away.
Then, as soon as you get to the
fire, be sure that you lunge right
in to the best room on the place
and proceed to tear up every
thing in sight, take the piano
roll it over and over, and out the
door, right down over the steps
and into the street. find a good
sized mudhole to put it in if you
can, If the hose has arrived by
this time, get busy to give in
struction to the fellows who are
IN charge, they will need you to
attend to this for them, but
don't forget the yelling keep it
up all the time.
Then get some one to help you,
run right into the dining room,
jerk the table cloth off the table
just as hard as you can, the

for wind"
What is the emergency that
calls for so protracted and inter-
minable an inquiry at this time?
Why were not all these facts
called for nearly three years
ago, when the Tariff hearings
were in grogress that preceded
the framing of the Underwood
bill? Then was the proper time
for careful investigation. But
there was no pretense of investl-
eating any of the matters which
the President now wants inves-
tigated. Spurned by the dicta-
ton of their Free. Trade master,
Chairman Underwood and his
coadjutors of the Committee on
Ways and Means rushed through
the hearings, and then proceed
ed to disregard and ignore every
word of testimony bearing upon
the need of Protection for Amer
lean labor and industry.
After the horse has been stolen
the President would like to have
the stable door locked. 1t is too
late for that, Mr.. President; too
late to be calling for investiga-
tons that should have been had
long ago. There is nothing now
to investigate; nothing that is
not perfectly well known. No
one needs to be told, as the re-
suit of a long-winded inquiry,
that the present Free-Trade
Tariff is a failure and a curse,
and that it must be displaced by
an adequately Protective Tariff
if the country is to be saved
from the certain disaster that
will follow in the wake of the
flood of industrial products which
Europe will dump on the Ameri-
can market after the war is over.
No Tariff commission can throw
any new light on that subject,
least of all such a commission as
Mr.. Wilson would appoint, with
strict orders to pay no attention
to the question of restored Pro-
lection.
President Wilson, as we have
said. is merely playing politics.
He has no intention of utilizing
the services of a Tariff commits

The Appellate Judgeship

Ye, Editor has visited s coun-
ties of this Appellate District
since our last issue, and have
heard from a score others, and if
there is anything in the signs and
what the people and voters are
saying, Elem d. Sampson is in
the race for Appellate Judge, and
in it good and strong. And if
nominated and elected Judge
Sampson will make a great judge
on the appellate bench. He is a
man who will ever stand for the
right and for iair dealings. He
will as Judge of that high court
deal out justice to all. He is
built that way. and can't be
changed. He is eminently quail
fed. He is one of the best Cir
cult Judges this district has ever
had, and is a friend to the great
mass of the common people, a
friend and supporter of Schools
and Churches. ana as an official
has always been true to the trust
and confidence imposed in him
by his people. 1t is generally
recognized, his district over, that
he has done more since he has
been our judge TO put down the
illicit sale Of liquor in his district
than any judge proceeding him.
The recognition Of this service to
the good law abiding citizenship
of the community was the occa-
sion for the presentation to him
last week of that handsome and
expensive ivory gavel, given by
the Sunday Schools of Barbour
vile, all joining in the gift with
out regard to creed. This little
token was in fact 4 beautiful and
timely recognition, but we believe
the people Of this Appellate Dis
trict will in August at the prima-
ny, and then again in November,
show their further appreciation
for the splendid services render
ed in capacity as Circuit Judge,
and promote him to the high off
ice of Judge Of the Kentucky
Court of Appeals. We believe
they are going to do that.

sion to rectify the blunders and
monstrosities Of the present Tar
if. He does not recognize that
there are any blunders and mon
strosities to be rectified. What
he does recognize is the plain
fact that the Free-Trade party is
in peril of being driven from
power next November unless the
American people can be bam-
boozled into waiting for the in
vestigation and report of a Tariff
commission. 1t is a perfectly
transparent trick.

Some mems word is as good as

the worst kind of poor land.
If some women could see them
selves as others see them, as
they go around gazing into mems

take a sneak for home and stay
there.
Some of the men who compose
the general makup of the town

them that will not be missed
when they shuttle off of this scene
of action, except you will not
hear their words of vulgarity.

least of the war, is usually who
did the hardest fighting.
