FARMERS NIGHT SCHOOL

Again the time has come for the
farmers, with their families, Of
Scaffold Cane Community, to attend
their Annual Night School Of one
week. This school begins Monday
night at $3.50, February II.
The following subjects will be dis
cussed: seeds, soils, fertilizer, gar
dening, crop rotation, fruit growing,
milk testing, live stock and club
work. These subjects were selected
by the farmers themselves at q
meeting Tuesday night. Each sub
jCct will have a leader but will be
discussed by the farmers and their
f9milies.
This Farmers Revival will have
many preachers but one text:
Whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap" We say revi-
val because it was called so by one
Of the farmers last year, and we
feel that we should keep the name.
All who are interested from other
communities are invited to attend
this school. We hope to have
school in other communities if plans
can be arranged in March.
The school at Scaffold Cane will
be conducted by Asher Strong and
County Agent Spence.

RESTORING THE DEATH PENALTY

After experimenting for some
time with the other system, the
Legislature Of our neighboring State
Of Tennessee has decided 10 restore
the death penalty as a punishment
for aggravated homicide and one or
two Of the other offenses usually
deemed capital in nature, and. as
this action was taken upon the
recommendation Of the Governor, il
is assured that the latter will sign
the bill.
Tennessee has had the experience
Of almost all other civilized com
munities that have tried 10 do away
with the death penalty. One Of two
results. and sometimes both. is al
ways perceptible after the abolition
of the death penalty. Men who COM
NIT hideous crimes are either treated
with great harshness in captivity or
lynching becomes rampant
In the old world, except in times
Of revolution, lynch law is not often
an evil. but the other evil is appar-
ent. Thus in italy, where the death
penalty is not allowed, system has
grown up Of imprisonihg murderers
under such conditions Of solitary
confinement as 10 make death on the
gallows infinitely preferable. Some
thing Of the same kind prevails in
Switzerland.
On this side of the Atlantic the
States that have tried TO do without
the death penalty have suffered in
two ways. First. lynchings have in
creased. and second, many men who
should have been executed are par
doned after having been given life
sentences. The death penalty is the
proper penalty at law for aggravated
murder. II should not be disre-
garded. Its chief value is the effect
il has asa deterrent. - Louisville

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IS URGED

the act Of pursuing, worrying or
wounding any live stock, or attack
ing human beings, whether or not
such dog bears the license tag re-
quired by the provisions Of this act.
There shall be no liability on such
person in damages or otherwise for
such killing" This would seem to
offer great protection to all live
stock.
The law provides that whenever
any person sustains any loss OF
damage TO any livestock OF poultry
by dogs, or any livestock Of any
person is necessarily destroyed be-
cause of having been bitten by
dog, such person or his agent may
complain to the county Judge or to
any justice Of the peace.
The complaint must be in writing,
must be signed by the person max
ing the complaint and shall state
when, where and how such damage
was done, and by whose dog or dogs,
if known. Such county judge or
justice of the peace shall appoint
two appraisers whose duty it shall
be TO investigate and ascertain the
amount Of damage done" The
owner who suffers the loss shall be
reimbursed out of the funds of the
county in which the damage was
done"

NEW DOG LAW

The new dog law enacted by the
General Assembly of the Common
wealth of Kentucky to become eff
fective January 1, 1919, reads as fol-
lows:
"On and after the first day of jan
uary, one thousand nine hundred
and nineteen, il shall be unlawful
for any person to own or keep any
dog unless such dog is licensed by
the County Clerk or deputy Of the
county in which the dog is kept and
unless such dog at all times wears
The collar and tag provided for by
this act, excepting such dogs as are
temporarily brought into the State
for breeding, trial or show pur-
poses"
The Penalty
Section 80 provides as follows:
ANY person other than an officer

of this act shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor and upon conviction
shall be adjudged TO pay fine of

France Expected to Accept
Mexican Minister Soon;
Diplomatic II elations
Elsewhere Are Resumed

WASHINGTON, May 11.-A move
rama government of Mexico seems to
be gaining headway among the allied
powers and some of the smaller ma
tions.
A dispatch from Paris to-day quotes
Alberto J. PAM, Mexican Minister to
France, as saying he had received mott
fcation that he might present his ere
dentials at the French Foreign Office
on May 13. This notice came, the
Minister said, at the moment the Mexi-
can press was announcing his depar-
ture for Spain because Of inability to
present his credentials.
simultaneously it was announced in
Mexico City that General Herberto
lara, Mexican Minister to Cuba, with
his legation staff, had engaged passage
from Vera Cruz for Havana, and that
DR.. E. G.. Ensenat, the new Cuban Min
lister to Mexico, would leave Havana
for his post, thus resuming diplomatic
relations between the two republics
which were broken off several months
ago.
1t was also announced from the
Mexican capital to-day that Dr. Favio
lombia, would leave that country on
May % to resume diplomatic relations
between Mexico and Colombia.
1t is unofficially reported in Mexico
City that Candido Aguilar will resume
his post as Secretary of Foreign Af-
fairs, and that Mexico will soon name
ministers TO Guatemala, Germany and
the scandinavian countries. Salvador
Diego Fernandez, temporary head of
the foreign department, is slated, it is
said, for Minister to Belgium and Hol-
land and later to take up the same
duties in London when England names
her minister to Mexico.

by both Americans and Mexicans are
to be granted in the future bv The

Copeland and Herrick Are
Deadlocked OH Plan for

A deadlock has developed between
Department of Health on the drug
situation in New York For two weeks
Health Commissioner Copeland has
been waiting for some action on the
part of State Drug Commissioner Her
rick, but beyond the appointment of a
new deputy commissioner there has
been no positive functioning so far.
Commissioner Herrck told The
Tribune last night that there was no
immediate prospect of the commission
taking any action. He said the whole
proposition was q comparatively new
one and serious consideration would
have to be given it before any definite
steps were taken. At present he is
working out an Identification system,
but there is little prospect Of it matur-
ing in time to satisfy DR.. Copeland,
who foresees the speedy closing Of the
drug clinic on Worth Street if some
action is not taken Immediately.
DR.. Copelands alternative is to have
viz Soi1itoty SOQC VI CuC CIJy 80
amended as to give the Health Depart
ment definite functioning powers and
this he will attempt to do.
Commissioner Herrick professed
himself content to have DR.. Copeland
go as far as he likes in this direction.
He is willing that he should institute
his own registration and Identification
system and open as many new clinics
as he likes.
Interrogated on DR.. Copeland's
statement that the State Narcotic Com
mission could clean up 100000 cases of
drug addicts in the city within the
next six months if it went at the task
Systematically, Commissioner Herrick
said:
can absolute impossibility! Be-
sides, there are no figures to show that
there are 100000 drug addicts in New
York City.
"The State Narcotic Commission
has no power either to open or main
tain clinics, and there is no prospect
of immediate action Oh our part We
must have time to feel our way. The
question is up to DR.. Copeland Per
sonally, should be pleased if he were
able to get the code so amended as to
enable him to act on his own initia-
tive"
