Judge Mulcahy

A lot of papers are criticisine
County Judge Ed Mulcahy. Of
Woodford, because he appointed
.Jailer Edgar's wife to fill the of
fee. after the Jailer's removal by
EGoV. Morrow under the anti41nob
law. Of course the jailer had tc.
he removed under the law. A mob.
had taken prisoner away from
him and lynched him. However.
he has the right to appeal and his
side will then be told. That he
had the slightest possible chance
to defend his prisoner is not con-
tended by anyone. The mob
came. 1t was wholly unexpected.
There had been no excitement
over the trial of the prisoner and.
no intimation of mob violence.
The jailer was taken completely
unawares, and even though he
were as brave as a lion in defense
of his duty and his prisoner. he
didn't have a chance" 1t is be-
ing predicted that after the Gov
ernor has thoroughly investigat-
ed the circumstances, he will re-
instate Edgar, as the only fair
thing to do in the case. From ALL
the evidence that has so far been
shown, he should do so.
But what we started out to say:
was that criticism of Judge Null.
cahy is wholly uncalled for There
isn't more honest, straight-for-iI
ward Or courageous official inl
Kentucky than Mulcahy. Thel
writer saw him number of years
ago as member of the legisla-
ture. No man can swerve Null
cahy from what he believes is his
duty. He will hew to the line, let
the chips fall where they may.
He does not condone mob vio-
lence. In this case at Versailles
there was no possible excuse forl
a mob for Judge Stout had called
a special term of court to try the
prisoner again after one man had
held out against the death sem
tence. Judge Mulcahy knows this,

MARRIAGE IN OTHER LANDS

Marriage in Turkey is very pro-
sale affair, IT being In a majority OF
cases quite business matter. When
a man wishes 10 wed, his parents OBJ
tain list of houses where eligible
girls are to be found, and the mother
then calls at these.
what can your daughter do?" she
asks, whereupon embroideries, car
pets, rugs, ETC., are exhibited as EVIL
dence of the girls handiwork. IL
these are approved by the mother, she
takes the goods home TO her son and
induces him TO marry the clever young
woman.
If on the other hand, she does NOT
think much OF the work, she makes
some diplomatic excuse, and passes
on to another house on the list. II.
however, the young man is not liked
by the girls parents, the mother Is
advised TO seek elsewhere.
In Sweden and Norway, a legal
marriage at one time was not al
lowed to be solemnized until both par
ties had produced certificates stating
that they bore genuine vaccination
marks.

Cooperative associations are in

All Are Early at Work.

The day begins early for everybody
in Belgium. and particularly with the
wage-earners. More than half of Bel
GUMS population lives outside the
towns. and they are up at their work
before the gray dawn is dispersed by
the rising sun. and on clear mornings
the lights of hundreds of cottages
may be seen wing with the stars as
they twinkle forth their message of
households bestirring.
In the towns and cities the people
are downtown almost as early as their
mel are at breakfast. They get their
midday meal around noon, and they
go home for il, since remarkably low
tramway fares make this possible. SO
it Is that. instead of mug of milk
and sandwich at some quick lunch,
many a Belgian burgher shuts up shop
at II. goes home to his largest meal
of the day, eats it leisurely, and re-
turns downtown by o'clock.
The Belgian government has always
the wage-earner and the man of small
affairs. and has made 1t possible for
them tC buy homes on easy terms.
The national savings bank is empow-
cred to make loans TO hOuseholders
for buying or building homes. and TO
insure their lives, so that in the event
OF death the family will not lose its
equity in the place. and can use the
insurance TO wipe off the debt.
Taxes were made exceedingly low
on small property owned by those
who tenant il.
The entire western portion Of the
country resembles one vast market
garden. There are no fences marking
the boundaries OF the many small
tracts, but rather little trenches that
separate one farmers place from the
others. Tens of thousands of acres
OF the toughest kind of land have
beer converted into splendid trucking
gardens BY western Belgians. In 1899
there was a wild stretch of land west
OF the Scheldt river called the Pays
de Waes. uncultivated and uninhabi-
ted. Today il is one Of the most fertile
sections Of this remarkable country,
supporting 500 people TO the square
mile. with truck farming as it's prin-
cipal industry.

French, and only 10 per cent of the
people can speak both. The Flemish
influence never crossed the Meuse riv-
or toward the east, and the WallOon
influence reached but a short distance
toward the west from that beautiful
valley. The line of demarcatiOn be-
tween the two peoples is rather sharp
ly marked.
There is n physical difference be-
tween the WallOOnS of eastern Bel
GUM and the Flemings OF western
Belgium, just as there is a difference
of tongue and stock The Walloons
are of stouter build and greater stat
ure. and are dark where the Flemings
are fair, thus bespeaking the COM
mingling of Spanish blood. On the
other hand the Flemings are the more
industrious of the two peoples, and
their women are said to be able TO pre-
pare the best meals out Of the fewest
things of almost any race in the world
Living was cheap in pre-war Bel
GUM. The people had thoroughly
mastered the art of intensive farming,
and the land. before the great war
descended upon the country with its
heel of iron. blOSsomed with the milk
and honey of plenty. Being contig-
uous TO the North sea fishing grounds,
it has always possessed liberal sup
ply of fish, which is a staple article
of diet with the people.
If living was cheap in Belgium it
was no cheaper than conditions called
for, because wages certainly were low.
Many lace-workers, making the ex-
quisite laces that bear the Belgium
mark, worked from the rising to the
setting of the sun for five dollars a
week. 1t is said that the average wage
of all the breadwinners of the country
Appropriated only S165 a year.
The children work after they are
twelve, and all hands in a working
mans family must keep busy in order
that no mouth shall go hungry. Even
at this it requires, even in normal
times, the utmost frugality TO make the
buckle of income meet the tongue OF
outgo. SO must the Belgian house
wife be an excellent manager. The
Belgian wage-earning classes eat but
little animal food, and most of that
is fish.
