THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS

That the people of Kentucky, OF
whatever political faith, can and do
disregard difference of political opin
ion and work together on any vital
issue that promotes the general well
fare of the entire State, is abund-
antly evidenced by an advertisement
which appears on another page of
this issue, drawing the attention OF
all voters to the great need OF
amending the constitution at the
coming election to permit of remov-
ing the administration of our edu-
cationai system from the smother
ing influence of partisan politics.
The advertisement referred to is'
being released in more than one
hundred papers thruout the State,
and in the list of citizens contribut-
ing toward the cost of this publicity
cal parties representing every sec
tion of the State.
1t is high time that we, in Ken
lucky, took this forward step. Our
present system, never of the best. is
now old and antiquated. The State
in its progress has outgrown 1t. 1t
no longer served the needs and de-
mands of our goth century progress.
The change should have been made
years ago. Other states are ahead
of us in this respect.
The question involved is not one
of partisan politics. but one that
reaches into the heart of every man
and woman in the commonwealth,
regardless of his or her politics, and
it is refreshing to note that leaders
and people alike, from both parties,
all over the State, are uniting on
this vital issue of amending the con-
stitution to make possible the i'm
provements in our educational sys-.
TEN that will give to the school
children of Kentucky equal educa-
tional advantages with the children
of other states. BY all means let
us vote YES" on both amendments

ARsiISTICE DAY

Friday. of next week is Armistice
Day. It is three years since the
tremendous sacrifice of our allies
and the extraordinary sacrifices of
our own country we're crowned with
victory. on each recurring ami
versary the day has been celebrated; (;
it is already apparent that it IS to
become one Of our great national
holidays.
This year Armistice Day has an
especial significance. 1t is to be mark
ed at Washington by the meeting of
an international conference that is
to make a sincere effort to compose
the Misunderstanding among ma
tions that threaten, even tho remote
ly, to disturb the peace of the world
in the Pacific, and to find way to
relieve the race of the burden Of
costly armament that II is now OBJ
liged to carry. At Arlington. in Vir-
ginia. the body of an unknown SOL
dier is to be buried with impressive
ceremony in the National Cemetery,
and we expect to have as our honor
ed guest on that occasion Marshal
Foch. the generalissimo OF the
Allied Armies.
Far and wide. in city streets and
in rural communities. the day will
be remembered with public exercises
and in the millions of homes from
which the young men of America
went forth to play their part in the
great struggle it will be observed
with deep emotion; here in proud
and loving memory of one who gave
the last and greatest gift, his life, to
his country; there in thanksgiving
for a son or a husband spared by the
truce of Armistice Day to return
again to his family and to the ways
of peace.
The Stars and Stripes should fly
from every staff in the country on
that day. Youths Companion.

The call of the country has echo

practically the entire army of our

Y. M. E. A. Out To
Raise 1921 Budget

At the annual meeting OF the coun-
ty committee of Kauai Young Mems
Christian Association. held last jan
uary, budget of s11,936 and a sup
Elementary fund of $500, was adopt
ed for the year 1921. AS local con-
ditions seemed unfavorable for a
campaign at the beginning of the
year, due to relief campaigns, taxes,
and other important causes, the fin
ance committee decided to postpone
the securing of the Y budget until
later in the year.
The payment of current bills how
ever could not be well postponed, con.
sequently an overdraft at the Bishop
Pank was authorized to cover expen-
ses for four months. Since one
third Of the year is now gone the
amount approximates $4,000. AS the
Constitution of the Y. NJ. c. A. for
bids the mourning of debts not secur-
ed by definite pledges the local CON-
mittee is now actively at work to Sc
cure the whole amount necessary for
the year 1921. The members of this
committee are TIL. Brandt chairman,
Dr A. Fl. Waterhouse, president OF
Kauai association, H. D. Sloggett
Karle Morgan, and w. F. Sanborn,
members of the county committee.
Mr.. Morgan, who is absent on vaca-
ton, has arranged for temporary
substitute with Mr.. j. o. Warner, ex-
ecutive secretary.
Kauai Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation which is now on the fifth
year Of its organization has been en-
joying a healthy growth in it's local
constituency and adaptation to chang.
ing conditions from year to year. 1t
is the servant Of the community and
relies entirely on the community for
its support. 1t has however during
the past year, by it's place on the
world map, received appropriations
from the Territorial Committee and
the National War Work Council
which has enabled it to perform ser
vices to Kauai citizens not provided
for in the local budget-the cash
value of this service was over $2400
Moreover the growing amounts OF
cash that have been raised for the
support of Kauai Y each year are re
turned almost entirely to the Golfers
Of Kauai people. Relatively sma,I
amounts are expended in Honolulu
and still smaller amounts without
the Territory. The Y. NJ. c. A. has
no secrets that are not open to the
| public and it's records and accounts
are carefully kept and published
The following is a condensed sum
mary of the itemized budget adopted
by the county committee and fol
which cash or pledges are imme
diately needed:
