The Chautauqua at Stanton
which comes the second week in
August is an event of great I'm.
portance to Powell. Every per-
son residing in the county with a
forward mind should not miss the
opportunity to attend. 1t is not
merely a show, but a source of
instruction for all, both old and
young. Clay City should attend
en- masse and show Stanton how
to make things q success in the
county, whether in their town or
in the confines of our twin sister.
Powell county as a whole, COM
pletely united, can make a sue
cess of fairs, chautauquas, or any
kind of moral gathering of the
people. But to succeed we must
bring the Kentucky motto, "Unit-
ed we Stand, Divided we Fall"
into full use. 1t is impossible
for either town alone to support
many things they should have,
but with the support of the other
it can be made success.
Get ready and let's all attend
the Chautauqua at Stanton, and
grow up together.

The Federal Government has
passed a rural credits bill that
will be of great benefit to the
farmers. 1t provides for the es,
Enlistment of twelve banks of
$3.50, 900 capital each. Loans will
be made on land at 80 per cent.
of its value.
The Federal bill must not get
confused with the Kentucky Ru-
raj Credits Association, which
has just proved a failure.

Our first weeks experience again
on The Times has been exceedingly
pleasant. 1t is most agreeable in
fact to have our old friends call at
our office and hear them express
themselves as being glad to have us
return, while they regret also to see
our erstwhile predecessor retire and
leave town. We feel grateful to all
who have called and thus extended
to us in this way their hand of well
come on our return to the fold and
assure them that our efforts shall be
redoubled to give them and Powell
county the best paper possible to
make under existing conditions.
We never forget a friend, and we
are glad to know that there are so
many good people in Powell that
are of the same disposition.

The people over the State of Ken
lucky seem to be souring on the
roads question. So many counties
voting bonds have brought disap-
pointment to the voters who expect
greater things than the authorities
could deliver for the bond money.
Account this lamentable condition
many counties have recently voted
down bond issues.

The Corrupt Practices Act, a
new law passed by the recent ses-

that all candidates for Office shall
fifteen days before the primary
file their campaign expense ac-
count with the Secretary of

louisville, and Roscoe Hanover,
of Pikevllle, Republican candi-
dates for Judge Court of Appeals
each were not posted on the new
law and lost out of the race.
Judge Kirk was better off than
these, he chartered a special car
and got there with 80 minutes of
time.
Judge Gourley who is always
informed on the laws of the State
as we'll as current events, filed
his expense account in ample
time.
1t sure was fine that Judge
Kirk stands in with the big cor
porations so he could get that
special train from Ashland with
out any delay, or else he like the
other two would have lost out.

Thousands of people have been
killed passing over grade railroad
crossings and thousands more will
be killed in future years by making
these crossings. The Powell Coun-
ty Roads Commission could do
nothing better than provide for the
elimination of at least the more
dangerous of all grade crossings on
their new roads. 1t may cost a
great deal of money, but it will be
money well spent. We are sure the
railroad company will pay half the
cost of these crossings, if not more.
The railroad company paid all of
the cost of making the overhead
crossing in Clay City, and we are
sure that they will pay half the cost
for county crossings. They are just
as anxious as we are to do away
with grade crossings so we feel sure
that the company will do their part I
in making way with these death !
traps. With the increased automo- /
bile traffic the risk of these crossings
becomes more dangerous each year.

The fact that Judge Sampson
didn't know that he was requIr
ed to file his campaign expense
account before the primary may
lead some people to believe that

nor as strong as his name would

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-03-07

The editors of the Concord IN. H
Monitor had one of their most painful
duties to perform when, on March 9. they
were forced to chronicle the passing
away of their city editor, Fred Leighton.
Editors and reporters are called upon to
write SO many obituaries that they take
them as matter of course--until one Of
their own number passes on and then the
Leighton held the city editors chair in
The Monitor Office for 81 years and con
tributed largely toward the building up
of fine newspaper. He had been with
the paper so long that his former CO.
workers must have a real sense of loss.

EVERY NAN For HIS JOB.

The man who is slated to become the
yer; all his education and training has
been directed toward efficiency in the
practice of the legal profession; he now
and then has held public office, the high
est of his positions being that of mayor
of the city of Cleveland. Yet the nation
turns to a man who, so far as we know,
has not the least inclination toward mill
tary matters whose training surely has
not been along that line and who may
even have repugnance for arms, muni-
tions and what not connected with the
military department OF the government
In other words, we spoil a good lawyer
in order to try to make military tao
tician over night We select a civilian
of civilians and put him in the Office of
war secretary and require of him that he
learn the war game in all its phases so
that he can intelligently administer the
very heavy duties which devolve upon
the war secretary. He stays in the of
flee, perhaps four years. oftentimes even
less than that; and when he steps out
of the office we hunt about for some
other man the least versed in military
matters and we place that man at the
head Of the nations military department
The less a man knows about military
matters, the more apt we are to put him
in charge of the army department. Like
wise. the navy department. Instead Of
selecting a man whose training and pre-
objections have been somewhat along the
line Of the army or Of the navy work. I
We take the veriest tyro and st him to
work to administer these important
branches Of the government. The tyro
goes in over the heads Of numerous men
