JUDICIAL DISTRICTS WILL
NOT Be CONSOLIDATED
No Bill to Consolidate the Offices Of
Z. s. Marshall and District AttOr-
neys Has Been Offered.

Washington, July 81. - Since con-
solidation of internal revenue districts
in Kentucky has been decided upon by
the commissioner of internal revenue
rumors have reached here from Ken
lucky regarding the suggested consoli-
dations of the offices of United States
Marshall and United States Attorneys
for Eastern and Western Judicial Dis
tricts of the State.
All such rumors are entirely without,
foundation, as 1t would require an act
of Congress to consolidate the two dis
tricts and no bill providing for such
consolidation has ever been introduced
nor has the matter even been suggest
ed here. The two judicial districts of
Kentucky were created by Congress
because of the necessity for two tribu-
nails and there is no probability that as
long as there is business for two
courts they will be combined. Even
then it can be only done by ar act of
congress.
The internal revenue districts will
be combined under the provisions Of
tie "yerman act, which authorizes the
President to re-arrange AMI ra-drgan-
ize any part Of the executive branch
of the government as he NAV deem ne
cessa1y curing the period of the war
Once reorganized the new arrange
ment viii continue.

SURVEYOR CHURCHES
IN KENTUCKY IS
NOW Being made
Through the Interchurch World Move.
ment a Rural Church Survey Is
Made in Kentucky.

Are the rural churches of Kentucky
doing all that they should do? What
are the things they would do? What
will 1t cost in men and money to do
these things? The churches of our
state are answering these questions
for themselves by making an accur-
ate survey Of every church in relation
to its community. This survey is now
under way, being directed by State
Council composed of the following
persons: Hon. James d. Black, DR..
Ben L. Bruner, Bishop Chas. A. Bur-
ton, Prof. J. ]. Coates, DR.. H. W. Ell
liot, Rev. John f. Freeman, Miss

Thompson, DR.. A. E. Thomson, FAIR
dick Tinsley, Rev. T. N. Williams. Rev.
Arthur o. Stockbridge, 102 Todd Build
ing, Louisville, is serving under this
Council as Supervisor Of the survey
This movement in Kentucky is a
1891, 80 tbo oraot on-oparata effort
among the Protestant Churches of the
nation, known as the lnterchurch
World Movement of North America
This nationwide movement aims
first, to state the religious and social
needs of every county in the United
States, what the churches OF each
county have decided to do in order to
meet these needs, and how many men
and how many dollars are needed in
each county to put the program over;
second, to educate the entire country
in these facts; and third, in a great
cooperative drive to enlist the men
and raise the money necessary to meet
all the needs. The money raised VIII
be spent by the churches themselves
not by the Interchurch World Move
ment. In this way the independence
of every denomination is conserved
while at the same time the blessing
Of cooperation is gained by all
In Kentucky, the practical operation
Of the survey calls for the securing
of four local leaders in each county
who will gather the facts. The coun-
ties will be grouped into sections, and
in each section training conference
for the survey men and church lead
ers will be held. The Supervisor, Mr..
Stockbridge will soon begin holding
such conferences throughout the
State. When the survey Is completed,
sectional conferences will again be
held at which the conditions discover
ed by the survey will be reported back
to the church leaders Of the counties
These leaders will then In
democratic fashion outline their pro-
gram of improvement and calculate
the budget required to accomplish it.
A similar program will be followed in
the negro churches and com
under the general direction
Of state council of negro church
leaders, which council is now in prog
ress of formation.

GOVERNOR COM.
MENDS MOONLIGHT
SCHOOL TEACHERS
Wiping Out Illlteracy In the State De.
mands the Best That Is In Us Says
Governor Black in Com.
municatlOn.

Kentucky's Governor has issued the
following message of encouragement
and appreciation of the moonlight
school teachers and those who are
fighting to wipe out Kentucky's illit-
eracy before the census Of 1920 Is
taken:
while the countries of Europe re-
build their ruined cities and rehabili-
tate their industries, it is our privilege
in the United States to rehabilitate the
lives of our fellow citizens. One of
the most necessary and most noble of
reconstruction tasks is to teach all
those who are unable to read and
write. We must do this before the
Commonwealth and the nation can
make great advancement
The teachers and citizens of Ken
lucky are pioneers in this movement,
which has now become nationwide
and even been adopted in other coun-
tries. The movement which they have
so unselfshly fostered, demands the
best that is in us all at this time when
the last battle of this crusade against
iliteracy in Kentucky is being waged.
l honor the moonlight school teach
ers and set high value up on the
service which they are volunteering
to render to humanity and to the state.
May that service enrich their own
lives as much as it will bless their
fellow-men and the great Common
wealth of Kentucky.

OF course IL was shocking at a
dinner party TO have Mrs. OPossum's
twelve little children scamper all over
the table and gobble up every bite oil

tipping over of the dinner table by the
twelve hungry and greedy Postum

dishes and the running of the tapestry

And just as the angry Mrs. O'Pos-
sum grabbed her twelve children and
put them all in the pocket of her big

You ask If Father Possum was

Altho the Y. NJ c. 4. or the Y. W

But what MarshaIltoRn fathers have
70 be thankful for today is that Mar

Boys in their teens knew where these

In those days the 7. N. c. A. was
not an attractive place. There we're

THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Laurence Barrett,
Ac vsr yOyrpc,
as TT YouRsG
APRIL 4, 1883.

The tale OF the career OF one OF
Americas greatest actors. Lawrence
Barrett starts with the tale OF IA
small boy working in drygoods store
and III an obnoxious fioorwalker. The
pompous fioorwalker had several
characteristics which appealed to the
small boy and to get even" with him,
he frequently initiated him behind his
discriminating his walk, his gestures
and making strange faces that We're
comically like the mans. OF course
the small boy was caught. doing this
and was advised sarcastically-while
being fired--to go on the stage" The
small boy took the advice seriously,
went up to a nearby theater, found
a position as call boy, and presently
was allowed TO play small parts. So
began the career of Lawrence Barrett
His family name was Brannigan.
His parents We're poor Irish people
living in Paterson, y. j., who moved
to Detroit while Lawrence was quite
small. The boy had no education, had
started TO work when very young
child labor laws being unknown then
and he taught himself to read at the
theater by studying an old copy or
Johnson's dictionary.
From small parts he graduated to
larger ones, and finally played with
Booth and Forrest and such famous
men. During the civil war he gave
up his work and fought as captain
of an infantry regiment from Massa-
chusetts. He toured the whole coun-
try and when he went TO England
was as popular in London AZ in any
city in his own country. His great
est part was "Richelieu." in Bulwer
Lytton's drama OF that time. He died
in 1891.

IRYtse TINE WRONG CASE.

The pardon case at Des Moines has
been given very disappointing turn
by Special INVESTIGATOR Byers In his
VERY apparent desire to discredit the
states lawyers methods of procedure
in the Rnthbun case. The people OF
this state wanted 10 know whether
their governor had accepted brioe
for the pardon which he had granted
10 man convicted Of the crime OF
rape. Lacking evidence as to bribery
the people wanted 20 know why the
governor granted a pardon for so re-
voting crime against womanhood.
Attorney Byers seems 10 have lost
interest in the granting OF the pardon
the romaz; re was unable 10 trace the
money beyond the Ida Grove lawyer
who received 1t and was supposed by
the Rathbuns 70 have been getting IT
for the governor Instead he consumes
the major portion OF his inquiry in
lawyers pastime of brow-beating the
states lawyer for not having every
BODY indicted who had been connected
with the case.
As might be expected lawyers could
disagree "a to how a case should be
tried Havner replies that he con-
suited very eminent lawyers in the
legislature some of whom are on the
committee which is hearing the in
vestigation and that they all adviser
the course ne pursued at Ida Grove.
The county attorney at Ida Grove and
the injured girls lawyer, johnson,
support Havner while the lawyer who
got the money and who might have
been indicted had Havner's decision
been otherwise does what he can TO
smirch Hayner. II seems TO be the
Harding team vs. the Harding team in
kicking dust.
The states lawyer may have guessed
wrong in the procedure he adopted
He might have had ali the Rathouns
and their lawyer indicted but he chose
to send the man TO the pen who had
been hardened for the crime Of rape
and he got an AFFIDAVIT from the
criminals father that 5000 had been
paid for the pardon. This fact was
not challenged in the testimony ana
il would seem that much more effort
should have been expended in the dis
covery OF some plausible excuse for
such an indefensible pardon If the
governor did not get the money.
Wrangling among attorneys as to the
ethics OF their methods OF trying
case will never enlighIen the public
because nobody could ever know
whether under all the circumstances
and with the evidence that was avail
able Havner should have tried TO get
the whole gang or was justified in
centering on the overthrow Of the
pardon and the Imprisonment of the
criminal who had outraged the girl.
After It is all said and done why was
that pardon issued Clark admits that
ne got the money but kept it. Now
did he er did he not? II he did how
did ne work Harding for the pardon?
