PASSING CROOKS ALONG

No crime cleanup can be hnal.y
effective which consists in driving
the crooks out Of one community arc
setting them at large in the rest q
i tho country. II only makes the IN
desirables more difficult to appre-
bend. After things have cooled dowF
bit in the center Of population
which shooed them out, they viii drift
Lack ard begin all Wver again.
A great drive is on against crook:
in New York City. As part Of MS
policy, Commissioner Enright has Is
sued the ultimatum, Take the lsrst
train out of town or go to Jail for ar
indeterminate period" The police are
rounding up the well known rasca:S
and the newly discovered ones ard
politely asking .hcir preference. Mes
of them prefer travel, aud as = re-
suit scores Of them have been herd"d
to the railway stations and loaded
onto outgoing trains. New n"
rretty question is. Who will &c, them
next. and how long will it he before
most of them drift back to New
York?
There Is no reason why any con-
muaity should thus pass along lis
evil-doerS. It is plain case OF
.hirkirg responsibility. The so6re;'
some agreement to that effect Is
reached by the various states, ano
each community IS required TO deal
with its own offenders. the So"ne'
will. that dealiug become effectively
severe everywhere. and some real
progress will be made in suppressins
crime.

HELP WIPE OUT iLLITERACY

General f. II. Woods, who heads the
Farm Bureau movement in Kentucky,
urges the farmers 10 interest them
selves in the selection of strong Boards
Of Education in the following:
All honor and much credit is due to
the Kentucky School Administration
Law. This wise and timely law leaves
it with the rural population of this
state to carry out its intention. One
of the great objects of the Kentucky
Farm Bureau Federation is to work to
the end that the country boy and girl
in Kentucky can have JUST as good
schools as have the city and town boy
and girl. This / regard as one of the
most important steps in order TO stop
the flow of population from farm 20
the town. Another is TO help wipe out
illiteracy in this state.
Aristotle was once asked how much
educated men were superior TO the un-
educated men. His reply was. "AS
much as the living are to the dead.
We want our state to have living

alliances, but we are 100 per cent
