EASTLAND'S ASSESS
MENT NOT AS LARGE
As WAS THOUGHT
City COuncllmen and Education Board
Members Discuss Future of Schools
After Delightful Feast Served
BY Students.

One of the best meetings of the city
officials ever held in the City of Mays
vile i'm years was that held at the
High School building Tuesday evening
when the City officials and members of
Council were the guests of the Board
of Education at banquet served by
the members of the Domestic Science
class of the High School The banquet.
itself, was delightful affair with
menu that was surprise to those par
taking. Miss Stevenson and the men,
bers of her class are indeed culinary
artists.
The meeting served its purpose in
that the city officials learned that the
Board of Education was facing the
same problems facing City Council and
all other employers at the present time
that of a fair and adequate salary
for those employed. The city officials
learned that the average grade teacher
in the Maysville schools was receiving
a odldl 6ulhilti Ahul NAiN NfOhh-
Gil proposes to pay its street laborers
and all agreed that neither the school
teachers or the street laborers were
receiving enough.
The matter of bond issue for a
new school building in the Sith ward
and the matter of admitting the East
land school district into the Maysville
city school district was also thorough
ly discussed. everyone present being
given an opportunity to discuss the
questions. 1t seemed to be the general
opinion of the majority present that
the Sixth ward residents were entitled
to new school building and il also
seemed TO be the opinion of the ma
iority present that the adoption of
Eastland for school purposes only
would prove mutually beneficial BY
adopting Eastland for school purposes
he citizens of that suburb would get
ing the city school tax and it was
shown by figures that the city would
receive in taxation a neat sum each
year over and above the expenses of
educating the Eastland children, while
at the same time the Eastland property
owners would assist in retiring the
citys school bonds and help very much
in paying for the proposed new school
building in the sixth ward.
Immediately after the joint meet
ing, the Board Of Education met In
Executive session to consider the mat
Ter and the President was authorized
TO sign the contract with the County
School Board admitting Eastland, ii,
after investigation, he found the as
sessment of that district TO be one and
One-half million dollars or more.
The assessment of this district had
been figured by the School Board Mt
two and half million dOlIars but Su-
perintendent Caplinger Investigated
the matter this morning and found the
actual assessment aside from tobacco
to be $75O,OO0. This discovery means
that the Board of Education has not
accepted Eastland. However, the mat
ter Is being taken under adVlsement
and some are faVOrably inclined to-
ward admitting the districts The mat
ter will probably be finally settled at
call meeting OF the Board Thursday
evening.

Democrat of Democrats.

No one will be surprised that Sam
uel Gompers has announced his sup
port of Governor Cox. This was, of
course, to be expected. Mr.. Gompers
is democrat. He always has been
and always will be democrat; that
is his bent of mind. He has never
voted anything but the democratic
ticket.
He has always supported the demo-
cratic candidates. He is strict party
man and, regardless of what the par
ty does or does not do, he always finds
sufficient excuse for supporting 1t.
Moreover, Mr.. Gompers is strongly
anti-prohibition, which is an added
reason for his support of MIR. Cox.
Like all American citizens he has a
right to his own opinions and to vote
his own convictions. So have all men,
bers of the labor organization he heads
who are voters.
But what Mr.. Gompers would do il
Ilo COulU Is lScttl OH VI ScAAAASN Ae~OOA
into the democratic camp. He opposes
any separate labor party because ne
would like to make the democratic
party the labor party.
He would put all the labor eggs in
the democratic basket. He would de-
ny labor the right of individual politi-
cal opinion. He would venture all
labor influence on a single throw Of
the political dice, trusting that they
would turn up democratic winner.
We believe he is right in opposing
a labor third party. But he is incon-
sistent in this when he tries to make
the labor vote solidly democratic, sac
rificing all of it's direct influence with
the other great party.
Nor can he do this. In politics
working men who are organized for
labor detectives will not be led like
sheep into either party fold. They will
vote as Americans their own individual
political opinions They are not all
anti-prohibition, nor are they all free
traders, nor are all for the Wilson
league Of nations to promote war;

Good roads enthusiasts are not a
little worried over the possible out
come of Amendment No. l now that
the women have the right to cast
their ballots. That they will over
look this feature Of the November
ballot is what bothers, and in order
that there may be no miscarriage in
this respect they are urging the need
of the amendment be carried direct to
the fair sex. Failure to vote for a
constitutional ballot is equivalent to
a vote in opposition, and the danger
in this respect is all the more as the
vote next fall will be practically
doubled. To carry Amendment No. ]
must have a majority of the total vote
cast.

In Memoriam.

Near the sunset hour, Tuesday Sep
TENDER goth, 1920, the Death Angel
winged its way to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. William Thompson and claimed
their precious son, Glenwood, aged 4
years, 2 months and 1 day. He leaves
a father, mother, three sisters, four
brothers and other relatives to mourn
his departure. The remains were con-
veyed>to the Marble Greek cemetery,
and with a word of prayer he was laid
in his final resting place. Thus ended
the life of a darling babe. The strug-
gle for a longer extension of life gave
to all his friends indication of a strong,
pure heart. When the inevitable mo-
ment came, dear little Glenwood's
suffering was no MORE.
Oh, how we loved Glenwood! AS
he lay in the casket there remained a
sweet expression, just as in life; on his
face. But we have looked for the last
time on that sweet face.
He sleeps the sleep that knows no
waking.
A restful, happy, dreamless sleep;
Unmindful of the sad hearts breaking,
Unconscious of the eyes that weep.
Pure as the flowers we place above
him,
Those emblems of innocence, fair to
view,
In death, as in life, we shall always
love him,
Our darling Glenwood, SO loving
and dear.
In a lonely spot we left him sleeping,
The soft night winds around him
play,
Their fragrant zephyrs gently creeping
In silence this each branch and
spray.
The wild birds join in tuneful pealing,
With dearest, sweetest notes reveal
ing,
To sing their requiem on his grave.
