Conscience Fund Recently Received
$4,000 In One Lump.

Money from the guilty. on its re-
morseful way to the conscience fund.-

the desk Of George r. Cooksey, private
secretary of Mr.. McAboo.
Sympathetic and imaginative, and a
newspaper writer by profession, Mr..
Cooksey can read the mental torture in
the briefest of scrawls and the fear.
pride and penitence in the longer letters
that are often feigned in penmanship
and purposely misspelled.
More money is now being received at
the treasury from men and women
who have cheated the government than
at anv time heretofore. The total for
the year, to the month of May, was

Some weeks ago MIR. Cooksey opened

brown paper and smeared with red wax

bills of large denominations. This

The very large majority given Hon.
Harvey Helm over Senator Montgomery
for the democratic nomination for con-
gress in this district should and does
satisfy the party with our nominee.
The Record did not champion the cause
of either candidate during the primary
contest but is now in the harness to do
Its best to see that the Eighth Con-
gressioual District gives to Wilson and
Helm the largest Democratic majority
in its history. We hope and expect to
see Helms majority in November as
large over his republican opponent, Mr.
Neat. as it was over Montgomery in
the primary and If every democrat will
get busy and do his duty to his party

than newspapers type. The two

CONFESSIONS OF AN EDITOR.

One of the most difficult Of the edi-
tors jobs is to get facts about births.
marriages and deaths. People seem
to think he ought to know these things
by intuition. IL not that, the birth,
marriage or death is Of such Importance
in the immediate family that 1t IL pre-
sumed that the editor will be Informed
by some such wireless or just grow into
the information. Then. when the paper
comes out. and no mention is made of
the event, the editor is planned for not
running good newspaper or not getting
all the news. Remember, there are
good many people in this county. II
the editor knew each one of them by
name. besides their family history and
the chief events in the lives of every
individual, he wouldn't be an editor.
He'd be demi god resting his feet
on cloud and slipping ambrosia, in.
stead Of inhabiting an office chair and
wondering where the money for the
next white paper bill is coming from.
The life Of an average newspaper
man is a gay one. Gathering news is
second nature with him. like picking
his teeth with the office pen and cuss-
ing the office towel. Last week we
thought of million things of import
ance. besides couple of hundred
THOUSAND small items unworthy of men
ton. And it was slow week. We
are anxious for news for the paper. and
1t won't put you out much to drop by
the office and notify us or telephone us
what's happening at your house Then
if the item dosen't get in the paper,
you have a right to come down and kick
the stuffing out of the cat. Otherwise,
don't blame us.

The SYMBOLIST.

On his journey to the prosperous and
politically languid West, Mr.. Hughes
INDUCED in curious bit of unconscious
symbolism, says the New York Times.
The first stop of his train was at
Niagara Falls
Mr.. Hughes is engaged in an effort
to fight the past, to turn back the cur
rent of events, to reconstruct history.
1t is his thesis that, if the Republican
Party had been in power in the last
three years, by some abracadabra,
some magic process as yet hidden from
an expectant country, but, doubtless,
to be disclosed somewhere between
Detroit and the Pacific, the Lusitania
would not have been sunk, the other
submarine murders would not have oc-
Cured, the Mexican troubles. which
dared to begin their acute stage under
a Republican Administration that man
aged to display a good deal of ''vacilla-
ton in short time, would have been
settled or averted, presumably by some
miraculous transformation of the Mex
can people.
When a program of military pre-
paredness has been passed and pro-
gram of naval preparedness is on the
eve of becoming law, Mr.. Hughes,
steadily averse to the present and the
actual looks piteously at things ac-
complished and criticises the Admin
istration for following, not leading.
There are no real leaders, of course,
except the sometime Progressive chief
whom Mr.. HUGHES follows, not leads.
When the paths of the American
people drop fairness, Mr.. Hughes
squeezes out tear over the DAYS when
it was estimated, no doubt by com
petent Republican mathematicians.
that there were over 300, coo out
of work IN the City Of New York.
Indeed, he looks back when he seems
to be looking forward. His receipt for
permsnent prosperity is from the pro-
lection pharmacopoeia, the discarded

Another fact of history, the un-
deniabe, positive, constructive Dem
ocratic achievement in legislation such
as the Federal Reserve act, Mr.. Hughes
has not seen as yet. Would he have
that wiped oui, too, in his "firm" hun
ker dissatisfaction with the existing
that does not owe its existence to the
Grand Old Party?
Without war Mr.. Wilson won from
Germany acknowledgment of the right

Senator Montgomery went down in
defeat in Saturdays primary with all
other outs in Kentucky who contested
with the inns. He made clean fight,
free from personalities and doubtless
saw early in the contest that he had no
chance to wrest from Congressman
Helm the nomination and therefore did
not deem it best to raise any issues
which would leave any sore spots after
the primary. or that might injure the
chances of President Wilson to carry
Kentucky. Senator Montgomery is a
splendid young democrat and will doubt
less be called upon to serve his party in
the future in important capacities.

Closes Last Friday. Meeting Well AT.
tended.

The exercises Of the Garrard County
Teachers Institute came to close last
Friday afternoon after one of the most
interesting and best attended meetings
ever held in the county. Mrs. Emma
Kaufman gave a very instructive talk
to the teachers Friday. impressing up
on them the MANY advantages to be
derived from good library and offered
the use of the library of the Women's
Club to the teachers of the county. An
address by Mrs. James b. kinnaird,
who is chairman of the civic depart
ment of the Womens Club and who
spoke on the Importance of a well kept
school room and yard. was listened to
with intense interest by all. This de-
partment of the Women's Club has Of
fered to give five dollars to the school
that shows the most efficient progress
along these lines.
Before the close of the institute the
following resolutions were read and
unanimously adopted;
We the members of the Teachers
Institute OF Garrard County do resolve:
lst That We recognize in our in
structor. DR.. f. c. McDougal. a man
of great ability for Institute work and
that We thank him most heartily for
the energetic, helpful and pleasing man-
ner in which he has conducted our
Institute.
End. That We appreciate very much
the work done by Mrs. Gillingham in
our Institute impressing upon US the

love for her work and that her services
are priceless to the schools Of Garrard
county.
4th. That we shall endeavor to Sc
cure better attendance in our schools
by visiting in the homes of our pupils
and securing the cooperation of their
parents.
9TH. That We shall look closely to
the health of all pupils and shall give
them such instruction and help as will
enable them to keep healthy bodies.
9th. That we fully appreciate the
great work that has been done for our
teachers and schools by the Eastern
Kentucky State Normal at Richmond
and we feel We have right to insist
that our future loyalty to it can be Sc
cured only by its being kept out Of
fractional and party politics.
9TH. That we petition the Legislature
to make an appropriation to defray the
expense Of the County Institute.
sth. That the teachers in each Edu-
cational Division hold conventions and
discuss the books of the Reading Circle
at each meeting.
9th. That Parent Teachers Asso-
citation be organized in each school dis
trict of this county.
10th. That We shall make extra ef-
forts to improve the penmanship of the
boys and girls of this county,
18th. That we shall use whatever
material We can get TO the end of CIV
ing our pupils proper moral training.
18th. That we heartily thank DR..

ladies of the city, and all others who
have contributed in any way to this
most helpful institute.

Congressman Harvey Helm defeated
