week:
'Let us be warned by poor

Bolsheviki were very eloquent
about peace, without anneXa-
tions or indemnities,' and they
filled the minds of Russian SOL
diers and workmen with the
idea to suchsan. extent that they
stopped fighting and making
munitions, Ebut.when they got to
Brest-Litovsks they found what
the leaders sprobablya knew all
along-thats Germany had no in
tention of making any such
peace. She wanted the Baltic
provinces of Russia, and she
seized and purposes to keep
them, and Russia, having stop
ed fighting in flavor of the kind
of peace she admired, finds her.

present she has nothing what

be miracle if there were not.

THf PROBE COMMITTEE.

There never was a Legislature
without probe committee, and
a lot of talk about graft, useless
expense, and sinecure offices.
But the abolishing of these things
has rarely been done except for
the political purpose of fooling
the people with loaded changes
that have invariably made more
useless expense, and other null
tiplied useless offices. There are
many offices and many commits
sions at Frankfort that are sine
cure and useless; and that the
last Legislature could have and
should have abolished, carrying
out the Governors campaign
pledges and promises. But in
stead, more were created, both
by the Legislature under eXecu-
tive direction: and also, by eX-
ecutive authority without legis
lative justification. We cannot
see the necessity OF passing a
measure to legislate Mr.. Eli
Brown out of the fat and sine
cure job of Attorney for the In
surance Rating Board, when like
Mr.. John C. Duffy, who for
more than two years at salary
of $4,000. per year, as an assist
ant Attorney General, along
with number of others appoint
ed outside of the number allott-
ed by intent of law to the At
torney Generals office, and who
has accomplished nothing more
than a futile and vicious attack
upon the Kentucky Orphans
Home, and management of the
public school system of the state,
he (Mr. Brown can at will be
taken care of in a more lucrative
sinecure. We are not much in
clined to think that any offices
will be abolished, and the people
at this time, may not look for it.
If one or two uninfuential ones,
politically considered. should be
permitted" to be abolished or
absorbed, more than sufficient
number of new ones have al
ready been created during this
harmonious and smooth running
session to offset the political loss.

IMPORTANT DECISION
RENDERED IN SCHOOL
CASE FROM BACLEY

Judge G.. w. Stanton has filed his
decision in the school district litiga
tion In which the Independent school
district Of Bagley appealed from the
order Of the county board, detaching
more than half it's territory and
forming common school district
known as district No "a.
The case has attracted consider
able interest on account OF the fact
that the county board on the first
hearing Of the petition denied 1t by a
vote of four to one, and granted the
petition at their next meeting by a
vote Of three to two. The action OF
the county board. If upheld, would
have given school district No. "a,
with twenty-four pupils, a valuation
of s293,000. and would have left the
Bagley district, with about $50
pupils, with an assessed valuation Of
$211, 900.
The court held that the county
board was without Jurisdiction to act
because they first denied the petit
ton. and, after the time to appeal
had expired, they attempted to again
act upon the same petition, also that
proper notice as required by law was
not given by the board prior to their
attempted second action upon the
petition.
Graham M. Torrance represented
the Bagley district.

YOU have had opportunity for con-
yersatfon in the family about the
things that are most worth while.
Surely, too. this first Sunday of this
mighty peace of. Righteousness the
Kingdom of God should be large IN
our thoughts.
I am sorry l have not been able
