DEMOCRACY IN ENGLAND
Doctor Robertson

Although England has king, yet
il is nevertheless true that her
government il highly democratic.
The people have final control and
that is the test.
Parliament is made up OF two
houses. an upper and lower. The
upper house is called the House OF
Lords. II represents the older,
traditional interests Of England
and is aristrocratic in its character
and influence, although il has some
very liberal men as members. In
log islation the upper house has lit
tie power and it cannot prevent any
bill from becoming a law. The best
II can do is To compel a third con-
sideration and passage which de-
lays but does~not defeat.
The lower house is called the
House of Commons and it repre-
sents the mass of the people. This
is the body which holds the power.
All important legislation originates
there and the money bills Of every
kind must start there. In its control
81 the raising and spending of the ma
tons income, il controls the gov
eminent.
/ Members of the House Of Com
mons are elected directly by the
people and all male citizens vote
who are able to make an annual in
come of ten pounds. which is equal
to about $50 Of our money. While
i! this shuts out the shiftless class
/, gives a voice to the great mass oi
the people and makes England 0
democracy.
The King OF England is nominal
head Of the government and the
chief executive but the real head
and executive is the Cabinet. IL has
charge of the administrative affairs
and likewise plans out the policies
Of government and introduces &c
Parliament the principal bills. III
members are always men OF high
standing and ability. BY this prac-
ltice. the English Government secures
That Capitalization Of authority anC
deficiency which is somewhat lack
ing in our system.
Al first sight it might seem tina
this is not democratic but auto
cratic in the extreme, that it give
few men an undue amount o
mower and influence. This woul'
ne true were il not for the fact tina
the Cabinet is held directly respon
sible TO the House Of Commons TO
lis every act. BY responsibility
we mean that the Cabinet must re
sign from its position if it fails L
meet the expectation of the peopl
rs voiced in the Commons. or II the
try 10 do anything which is M
pleasing to the people OF the countr
at large. During the present wal
the Cabinet has been change
several times until at length, Lloy
George has come directly from tn
common people to the office high
est in their gift, that Of prime min
lister and head Of the Cabinet. HI
appointment, it is true, came froT
the king but he had no choice
the matter except to register tn
: will OF the people.

GREAT AGRICULTURAL CLUB
CONVENTION

from the various clubs. This meet
ing was conducted by the young
people in manner worthy Of ex-
perienced men. The writer was
especially impressed with the BUSH
ness-like attitude and serious tone
Of all the meetings. To one attending
this meeting the great importance
of the work the young people are do
ing is readily observable.
At ten o'clock, reports from the
various county agents were heard OF
the club work in their respective
counties. Messrs. Reynolds of Jack
son, Boggs of Madison and Spence
of Rockcastle and southern Madi-
son gave enthusiastic reports. The
Home Demonstrators were repre-
scented by Mrs. Gentry of Rock
castle.
In the afternoon large portion
of the delegates were taken On an
automobile tour to Richmond where
they were very Hospitality enter
tanned by President Coates and the
faculty of Eastern Kentucky State
Normal. The people who were I'M
able to go on the tour were taken
for spins to various points around
Berea. Every effort was put forth
by Mr.. Spence to find enough cars
to take the convention enmass but
it was impossible. The auto own
ers were very generous and the
delegates were highly appreciative.
On Friday night came the great
picture show of six reels. A series
of high class war pictures were
shown after which came the pig
and poultry reels which were sim
ply great. These films were highly
instructive and the young club
members received many new ideas
to use in their daily work.
On Saturday morning the business
meeting was held. The delegates
from each county elected their
county officers and then the Con-
vention as a whole elected officers
for the district. Those elected were:
President, Robert Fish, Rockcastle
County; yice-President, Teddy
Strunk. Goochland, Jackson County;
and Secretary-Treasurer, Thomas
Robertson, Berea, Madison County.
The business meeting was enthusi-
astic and profitable. Plans for a
still larger convention for next year
were put on foot. The delegates
were unanimous in their approval
of the great work of the Convention
and in their appreciation OF the hos
pitality of Berea people. The Con-
vention was concluded by congrat-
ulatory addresses by Messrs. Collins
and Kercher and other prominent
leaders in club work.
Dinner was served Saturday in
time for the delegates to catch the
noon train for their homes. Berea
| is glad TO have been the hostess OF
these enthusiastic young people.
They are doing a great and new
work. Thru the guiding influence
Of Mr.. Spence they are doing great
things and even greater things are
, promised. other sections OF the
. State would do well to follow their
Example.

THE fact that soldiers and others
i under forced conditions have
been able to perform active
exercise for prolonged period with
but two or even one meal day does
not Justify the recommendation OF
this practice for universal use. 1t
NAV be added that the unpleasant

GENT NOURISHMENT ARE
NOT IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT
AND THEREFORE NOT AL
WAYS RECOGNIZED.
Like an engine, the body must
have sufficient and appropriate fuel
to run it, and the interval between
meals must not be too long. This
is particularly true in the case OF
children. who must be generously
supplied with good food, for they
must have nourishment not only
for the present needs, but an ex-
ira amount to sustain increasing
growth.
CHILDREN WHO ARE UNoERFEo
ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DIS
EASE; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO
ADULTS. -,
Overeating should be dealt with
not by a reduction in the number OF
meals, but rather by diminished
amount of food at each meal, pro-
vided that which is taken is sufti-
cient for all purposes of nourish-
ment.

GOVERNOR RETURNS
FROM SAN FRANCISCO

Governor Boyle returned from a
weeks trip last night, spent mostly
in San Francisco. While in the bay
city he conferred with Major.General
j. Franklin Bell of the United States
army, relative to the military situa.
ton and what was expected from
Nevada
The governor stated he had very
busy and interesting trip and also
conferred with Governor Stephens OF
California, on military matters, but
there was nothing that could be given
out for publication, tho government
and particularly the war department,
having established strict censor
ship upon anything pertaining to mill.
tary affairs or the movements OF the
army. and that very little information
could be obtained from General Bell
on that account. However, he said
the authorities at Washington were
opposed to any recruiting of tho ma.
tional guard, pending the action OF
congress on the war measures.
The governor stated that he would
probably name the tax commission
today and possibly the highway com
mission. The appointment of state
assayer and secretary of the bureau
OF mines would be held up for q
time yet on account of other pressing
business, The governor will leave
for Sparks tomorrow morning, where

Tunnel Guard Shot By Assailant
Big Charge of Dynamite Discovered Near Portal of Tnne
ASSaiIant Not Captured; Guards Not Communicative

suddenly the assailant opened fire.
Two of the shots struck the corporal
in the left leg and he fell. He rose
to his feet again, when third shot
struck him in the right leg and he
fell again. Several shots were fired by
assailant. When the corporal fell the
second time he was picked up by his
men and carried to the portal of the
tunnel, and soon afterward he was
placed on board a passing train and
brought here for medical treatment.
Numerous stories were about town
today regarding the shooting, one TO
the effect that the corporal was shot
through a misunderstanding by one of
his own men. The corporal says, how
ever, that this is out OF the question.
The rest of the guards are not COM
municative, further than to say that
the matter is being thoroughly inves-
tigated. The fact that the shots fired
by the guards were fired from army
rifles of high power, and the further
fact that all three of the bullets
lodged in the legs of the corporal,
seems to be sufficient evidence that
he was shot by an assailant.
Civil officers who went to the scene
of the shooting soon after 1t was re-
ported, state that they found no trace
of the man who did the shooting, al
though they passed through the tun-
mel twice.
The officers are said to have a clew
upon which they are working which
may lead to the identity of the assail.
ant, and to facts about the powder.
