a revision of the city's license laws

and to this meeting the committees IN
yite every business man in MaysViile
who is interested. Councilmen claim
that the city's revenue must be IN
creased in some manner this year and
that the application Of a license tc
most every line of business Is about
the only way the income can be In
creased.
Councilmen, however, expect to have
the corporation of the business inter
ests of the city and do not want to dc
anything in this respect until the!
have consulted the business men. II
is therefore very necessary that thu
business men meet with the council
men at this conference on Tuesda!
evening when the matter will be frs
taken up and the two committees hop
to go into the matter so thorough!
this month that at the next meeting o
City Council a new license law cal

SCHOOLS PRAISED
FROM PULPIT
DIR. John Barbour, Of the First Presby.
terian Church, breaches on School
Opening-Praises Music
Instruction.

In his sermon at the First Presby-
terian Church Sunday evening DR..
Barbour said that the most important
matter by all means, before the Amer
lean people was the question of educa-
ton.
The war has opened the nations
eyes as never before to the need of a
broader, and at the same time more
practical education. Every boy and
girl in the land has found out that he
cannot take the great prizes in war or
peace without fuller education
Besides, the Republic lives by its
ideas, and in the laying of right prin-
ciples in the hearts of the people
comes about our greatest prosperity
and power.
The Republic too has soul We
are one people, and must move togeth-
er in harmony and in pursuance of
high ideals. We have got to build
homes as we'll as business houses.
We are suffering right now from the
results of the bread-and-butter philo-
sophy. If you teach and believe that
the end of life is to make a living in
stead of life you will turn out self
ish capitalists and grasping laborers
thinking only of themselves.
Both sides will have to learn their
dependence on each other, and those
foundation truths must be laid in our
schools.
DR.. Barbour took occasion to COM
mend the teaching OF music in the
schools. He said he had noticed the
refining effect of it on the young men
and young ladies living together. The
songs and good times are reproduced in
the home. 81 doubt if we could have
had the national anthem at all If 1t had
not been taught in the schools. In the
great patriotic meetings we were vir.
tually dependent on the boys and girls
who knew the words as we'll as the
music. Think of a Frenchman who
could not sing the Marseillaise! Thinl
Of an army going forth to battle with
out song! We would not have hat

they had not gotten start in the
music teaching of the schools.
Let us hold fast to everything goot
we have and add still more. 1t |!

Have Students Ready For New
Books Upon Their Arrival.

All of the schools In Mason county
with the exception of Moransburg
opened their regular school term this
morning. The Moransburg school
could not open because the contractors
have not yet completed the new build
ing at this place. However, they are
making rapid progress and it is ex-
pected that the building will be ready
for occupancy by the first of October.
Reports reaching the Office of Coun-
ty Superintendent Turnipseed this af-
ternoon are to the effect that the
children have reported in good mum
bers and the enrolment this year is
expected to exceed the enrolment of
last year considerably. This increase
in enrolment for the year will be par
ly due to the fact that this year, for the
, first time, Mason county schools will
have truant officer. The officer will
begin her duties at once and will see
that the state school attendance law
Is rigidly enforced.
The County School authorities are
expecting an unusually good term Of

POLICE COURT IS
Reversed IN. TWO
CASES BY jURIES
William Holmes Fined For Having
Liquor For Sale and Frank
WorthlngtOn Fined For Not
Having Tail Light Burn
ing, Are Released by
Circuit Court
Juries.

Two cases appealed from the Mays
vile city police court we're reversed
by juries in the Mason Circuit Court
Monday when they were tried on ap-
peal.
The first case was against William
Holmes, colored, who was fined 800
and given 20 days in jail on a charge
of having liquor in his possession for
the purpose of sale. Holmes was ar
rested in Maysville last April when
two suit cases containing 12 quarts
of whiskey were found in his possess
sion. He was arrested by police short
ly after he arrived here from Coving-
ton He contented that the liquor was
for his own personal use but in the
lower court he was found guilty.
Shortly after the trial in the lower
court, he filed an appeal and the jury
this morning found him not guilty.
The second case was against Mr..
Frank Worthington, of the county,
who was fined $5 and costs in Police
Court on charge of not having the
tail ligh on his automobile burning.
Mr.. Worthington contended that the
light was not burning because the
electric wiring to that light was out of
order but that he did not know the
wiring was broken when he was ar
rested. The jury in Circuit Court was
out but a few minutes and returned a
verdict of mot guilty"
The petit Jury will return to court
again tomorrow morning to take up
other caes on the docket.
