spring to those in their charge
These charges and others are being
probed by committee appointed by
| Gov. Stanley. when if untrue it is
| hoped they will be disproved, but
even then the damage done to the
institution will continue to be felt.
Unfortunately a suspicion prevails
that some of the professors are in
competent and others are more in
tent on drawing salaries they do not
earn than in educating the youths
in morality and knowledge of the
arts and sciences. The people are
taxed pretty heavily to support Ken
lucky University and better things
are expected than that their money
should be squandered on incompetent
and immoral teachers.
The effort on the part of the bank
ers Of Lincoln county to float the
Liberty Loan Bonds is most COM
mendab1e one. They are doing it not
for profit but through spirit of pa
triotism, wanting to do their hit in
the war for freedom. It is pleasing
to know that good progress is being
made in the disposition of the bonds
and it is probable that far more than
the 100000 allotted to Lincoln
county will be sold Any banker in
the county will take pleasure in ex-
planning the value of the bonds.
how to buy them, ETC., and they will
let you pay for them on the INSTALL
ment plan if you have not enough
cash to take them at one payment.
Consult your nearest banker about
the Liberty Bonds and if you can't
take more than one of $50, do that
much toward helping feed, clothe
and otherwise maintain the boys who
will soon be fighting in the trenches
Of France.
Col. W. A. Colston, of the First
Kentucky regiment, who will be one
of the speakers at the Flag raising
here Thursday, is after Rev. George
Froh, of Lagrange, for using his
place on the program on memorial
day at Cave Hill in Louisville, to
make a o-German speech, in which
he claimed that the Germans are all
right and the Americans all wrong.
The colonel has complained to the
G.. A. r. post officials for including
him with such speaker and it is
likely that the preacher may have. to
answer a court charge for slurriLg
the president and attempting to in
cite disloyalty. If guilty as APPEARS
on the surface it is hoped that his
punishment will be such as will eff
fectively stop emulators in his line.
Being a born orator and having
large experience in speech-nAakin1N
Gov. Augustus Owsley Stanley, is
the most sought of any governor the
State has ever had. Hardly a day
passes that he does not deliver one
or more addresses, which Of course
have to embrace a large number of
subjects. He is much at home, how
ever, in addressing body of learn
ed lawyers, church gathering,
school graduates, patriotic gather
ings or colored school teachers. He
has done yeoman service for the Lib
erty Bond Loan and a great deal to
create patriotism among the young
men. A man of parts is Kertucky's
governor and worker of surprising
endurance.
The fearful fire at Atlanta wiped
out of five churches and not saloon
was damaged. writes a gentleman of
that city. 1t is presumed that he
means none of the buildings hereto
fore used for the sale of booze, as
Georgia has been dry State for some
time. He also writes that $4,000
have been raised for the sufferers,
but that 100000 must follow. The
loss is $5,OOO,000, with insurance of
S4,O00,O00. The district looks like
the determination of desolation,"
spoken of by the prophets, he adds.
w. P. Harding. governor of the
Federal Reserve Board, is not only
a frst-class financier, but an cpl
gramist of no mean calibre. In these
20 words he advances every argu-
ment necessary for war taxes and
the purchase of Liberty Bonds. The
question is, "Shall we pay taxes or
pay tribute; whether we shall
buy bonds or have bondage.?" Re-
member if you can't dig trenches,
you can dig potatoes and if you
can't be soldier, you can be bond
buyer. Get yours today.
The Kaiser tells the Empress and
others that the Anglo-French often
sive was a failure, but as they took
$4,000 of his men prisoners and
killed and wounded many thousands,
besides forcing him to retreat time
and again, it will doubtless oc-
cur to our readers that the man who
rules the German people with an iron
hand is very much unlike our own
George Washington in point of
veracity as in other traits.
Berlin, Germany, newspaper men
have about as much rights as the
average fellow in prison. A dispatch
from there saws that Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, whoever that is,
has decreed further reduction in
the size of newspapers, to the extent
of 10 per cent. for the month of
