that upon the mooted question of the
League Of Nations, the declarations
Of the two parties are such as to per-

views, each claiming that his is the
correct Interpretation Of the plat

may be shown that the case is SINH

One natural result is that a great
part Of the two platforms is in close

platitudes or "glittering generalities."
Another noticeable fact is that people

THE MISFORTUNE OF THE
BEREA FAIR

The Berea Fair has FOR many years
been patronized by the best people Of
our county and surrounding commu-
nifty. II has long been a meeting
place for widely-separated friends and
relatives. A good dinner was spread
and everyone who had not provided
himself with a lunch was invited to
take n good piece Of fried chicken,
apple pie and other good things TO
eat. Everybody looked forward to
the Berea Fair.
But how sad and humiliating to
every honest citizen were the attrac-
tions and side issues this year. With
increased fees and many premiums
donated II seemed that better accom-
modations, less dust, and a greater
protection Of human rights could have
been secured this year.
Never within the memory Of the
oldest citizens Of this community has
so much vice been assembled In one
small spot, under liscense and SEEM
ingly under sanction. Neighbors and
citizens gambled openly; small boys.
openly, conducted crap shooting
games In front Of a number Of gam
bling devices. Many Of these were
witnessed by officers, duly appointed
under the law. and sworn TO enforce
the law Of the state.
Vulgar and obscene shows were
open to our sons and daughters and
one show, too rotten fer women and
children to witness, invited their hus-
bands and fathers.
A number Of citizens were heard
to say: "Surely the Fair Association
was deceived and did not know what
they were getting into" II that is
true, the Berea Fair Association will
hasten TO make the matter right in
the minds of the citizens who patron
lied IL in good faith and today feel
humiiated.
II is time that the general spirit
and purpose Of all county fairs
change. In other states, and in many
counties in this state, the fairs are
operated for the benefit Of the farm
ers and business men Of the commu-
nifty minus the gamblers, bootleggers
and prostitutes.
We hope that the Berea Fair Asso-
citation, even though II is a private
organization, managed with the pur-
pose of realizing dividends on its
investment, will become an agency
for good in our community.
There was a time when ring horses
and race horses were the center Of
attraction at county fairs because
they were inspiring, but since the
automobile and tractor have come to
stay; interest in horses is dying.
No fair has such good horses as II
used 10 have, and we will drift into
a far worse condition If we try to fill
up the attractions with gambling and
obscenity instead of farm products,
commercial displays, and a hundred
other legitimate things.
In the next few weeks number of
interested citizens will write an ar
ticle. giving on outline Of the kind Of
a fair that ought TO be given in a
rural community like ours.

Education,

There must be an awakened inter-
est In education. The assumption that
things are all right is an error. The
plain fact reveals two startling things.
one. a growing decimation In the ranks
Of teachers and the other. the existence
Of i've and one-half millions Hitter
ates. The army Of instructors has
been more or less demoralized through
financial temptation from other activi-
ties which pay much better. We owe
too much to the next generation to
be remiss In this matter.

system in Alabama, a system which democrats of that state claim has proven fair to all candidates. In Ohio a state officer who has charge of the preparation of the ballots is required to determine how many ballots are necessary and to divide the printing into series, the number of series being governed by the greatest number or candidates for each office. One series is printed with all names in alphabeti- cal order When this is completed the name of the candidate for each office whose name was first on the ticket Tn the first series is placed last, and the second series is printed. This is continued until all series have been printed. Thus the name of every candi- date for each office appears first on the ticket practically the same num- Der of times.
 The story goes that the result of one primary in Ohio forced a change in the old system which was similar to Ala bama. A bartender of Cincinnati ran for lieutenant governor. He was prac- tically unknown but his name was first on the ticket. He missed election by few hundred votes.
 Citizens and candidates in Alabama have made complaints against the present system for several years.

BRITAlN'S GRATITUDE
U. s. Officer Presented With Loving
 Cup for Rescue At Sea

Mobile, September 9-(Special) )-As a recognition of his act of heroism in rescuing the officers and crew of the British steamship Bayronto of London, England, which went down in the Gulf of Mexico during the hurricane Of Sep tember, 1919, Caut R. Hanson of the American steamer Calino, was on Tues day presented with a beautiful solid silver loving cup by the British gov ernment- The presentation was made in the office of the United States ship ping board, and M Minto. assistant dis trict agent of the board, who had been commissioned for this duty by the Brit ish government, made the presentation speech Captain Hanson was deeply moved by the gift and made a feeling response.
 The Calino sailed from Mobile with a cargo for Liverpool-on September 6, 1919, and was in the heaviest of the hurricane of September 14-16 of that month in which the Bayronto was lost The officers and crew of the lost Brit isher were picked up in an open boat by the Calino under command of Cap tain Hanson, some time later, and they were all practically exhausted from their terrible experiences. There were nineteen men in the open boat and they wre landed at an English port by the Calino.
 The Calino is now loading cargo for the Mobile liners at Pensacola The cup presented Captain Hanson Is ap- propriately engraved with the follow ing inscription:
 "Presented by the British government to Capt. R. Hanson, master of the American steamer Calino, of Newark, N. J.. in acknowledgment of his human ity and kindness to the members of the shipwrecked crew of the s. S. Bayronto of London, when he rescued in Sep tember, 1919."

 MT. Edmondson will visit the various counties and will establish the ma chinery for child welfare work provided by the legislature in 1919.

ATLANTtAN WANTS

Dfvorccs are easier to secure in Birmingham than they are in Att lanta, judging from a message re- ceived yesterday by Hunter Arm strong, register in the chancery division or the circuit court. The telegram was signed J. H. Sabbath, and was as follows: ssWire me immediately shortest time you can get divorce which is not contested in Birmingham." When he read the telegram, MT. Armstrong re- marked: sWcll, he must think we sell them wholesale" However, he wired the desired information to Atlanta, telling Mir. Sabbath that it all depended on the time he had lived in Birmingham and the grounds on which he was to secure N-
 Several judges and attorneys were in the office at the time the telegram came and they discussed the matter. Some of them laughed and stated that even though At- Ianta beat Birmingham in popula- ton, 1t was evident that mt least one resident of Atlanta felt sure Birmingham had the Georgia city beat on the time required to get a divorce.
