How Private Wealth Has Helped,

For many years one of the popular pastimes
has been to rail at the possessors of great
wealth. Those who are unfortunate enough to
be encysted in mere money, buried deep enough
to DEFY penetration from the outside, are al
ternately damned or ridicued by the more ia
vored many who never felt the burden of an
incrustation of millions. Every now and then,
however, the observer encounters something
that serves to justify private control of con-
siderable sums of wealth.
Such an instance is at hand in the form of
DR.. George Vncent's report as president of
the Rockefeller Foundation. Tersely, succinctly,
but wildly, DR.. Vincent has reviewed the work
of 1918, telling of endeavors in many lands and
in widely separated fields, but all tending to
the good of man. War work in France, yellow
fever work in Guatemala, educational work in
China, anti-malaria work in Arkansas, the
hookworm here, the fight against tuberculosis
there, instruction in training camps, assistance
to medical schools and to research work, and
such like undertakings have occupied the ex-
pert investigators and administrators of the
funds at the disposal of the foundation.
The beauty of this is that the work may be
carried on continuously, with a definite and as
sured knowledge that the needed means are
provided. No inquiry is likely to be checked
at its critical point because of failure of con-
gress or some other private agency to make
the needed appropriation Fancy what would
be the case if the work of these investigators
were stopped in full flight as was that of voca-
tional education bureau, when the president
vetoed the appropriation bill. Private control
of this great work surely has its advantages,
and the devotion of great private wealth to the
purpose under terms and conditions that gives
independence to the workers is really SPLEEN

Insurance.


F. Mn March, two insurance
men came to my house and insisted
that l take a five year policy from
them, as I could get it $25 cheaper
that way than by taking for only a
year at time. I told them it was
impossible for me to do SO then but
they finally persuaded me to sign up
for 1t anyway, saying that il could
not pay for it then they would
make arrangements with a local
bank SO that could pay it any time
between then and December /.
Nothing was then said about sign
ing note, but few days ago I re-
ceived a letter from them saying
that the local bank was unable to
handle my papers at that time as
they had sold my note to bank in
another town. AS l have not drawn
any benefits from this company and
they have broke their agreement
without first notifying me, am l
bound to pay off that note?

HE farmer boys family, father,

Peggy and Billy, lowering above

watched every move he made. They
felt that as they had found the pot
Of gold it belonged to them and they
were determined to get it back.
They would wait until Henry went

grab it and run away. OF course
they would have to make them

they thought that would be easy by

DOUBLING THOMAS ON THE TREATY.

Senator Thomas of Colorado, of whose
democracy and equal sanity there can be no
question, finds himself unable to agree that the
pending peace treaty with its accompanying
covenant for a League of Nations, will &C
complish the purpose for which it is framed.
He sees in the peace of force" promise of a
future war. A league to prevent war accom-
panied by such treaty is self-destructve, or
else it destroys the treaty.
Their ways are divergent, their objects
antagonistic, their details insistent," he says.
The league, inspired by unselfsh and upft-
ing impulses typfes peace and reconciliation
The treaty, based upon passion and self-inter-
est embodies suppression, reparation, indemni-
ties, partition, punishment"
The inability Of Senator Thomas to recon-
cile in his own mind the conflict between the
two is shared by many. Most people are agreed
that Germany should be punished for enormous
crimes against humanity Also it is common
desire that safeguards be set up against repe-
titon of these crimes. The more the present
document is debated, the less it seems fitted to
meet the ends it is intended to secure. This
uncertainty is not allayed by the assertions Of
the democratic clacquers, who reply to criti-
csm only by repetition of phrases that do not
contain fact, substituting continually, rhetoric
for logic.
The Identification of counsel" suggested by
the president proceeds but slowly, but as it
does make progress the certainty of dehnitive
reservations being made comes more and more
into view. AAd the fact should not be forgot
ten that the treaty is being discussed by
body of men whose patriotism, wisdom and
personal ability is unchalenged, save by par
tisan blindness. When the senate has reached
conclusion and is willing to give its consent
to ratification, we may be sure that American
interests have not been sacrificed.

Work of the TRANSPORTATION Corps.

The transcontnental trip of a detachment
of the transportation corps of the United States
army ought to have distinct value. 1t has no
spectacular feature, for the test given the motor
truck in actual service in France was as severe
perhaps, as any it may ever undergo. Ameri-
can highways at their worst do not compare
with the shell-torn tracks which the
trucks were driven up to the very front lines,
Nor is the crossing of the continent by such
trains any longer an experiment. What will
most likely come Of the present trip, in addition
to the knowledge gained of engine performance,
tire endurance, and similar details, will be a
"oggng' of the routes, the condition of the
roads, and better understanding of what is
needed to establish great highway to connect
the two oceans. The good roads movement is
getting proper attention from the public just
now and its importance is better understood as
the difficulties of the existing transportation
problem become apparent. Any contribution
the journey of the transportation corps may
make to the knowledge of highways, routes and
the like will be of service, for it will help to
make certain the future of the nations roads.

Speaking not as Attorney Cen

and well-conceived political scheme.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Republicans has possession of the
supposed facts in connection with
the cloth matters, they did not spring
it until last Saturday night, when
Mr.. Franks made his speech in Frank
fort, KY. They knew just at that
time that Gov. Black was starting

the one spot where they most fear
him. They knew that other gentle
men were about to leave for their
home counties to close up the cam.

two engagements in Bell county, but
whe he had time to make a full in

Eastern Kentucky, and is now under
