sulk, "Dost thou not govern the king
dom Of Israeli" False witnesses COM
passed the death of Naboth. And
Ahab arose TO go down to his vine
yard to possess it. Elijah met him.
Hast thou found me, o mine en-
cmy?" 81 have found thee" And
Elijah proceeded to tell Ahab precise
ly how much in excess he would have
to pay for that vineyard, bought with
Naboth's blood. And all down the
ages the picture Of the speaker for
God has been conquering men with
the conviction that God is on the side
Of justice.
Is there no place for Elijah any
more? Think Of that great word:
Justice is the steady and abiding
will TO give each man what belongs
to him." What, then, belongs to
each man? Surely that, at least, be-
longs to each man which will make
him the most effective servant of the
common good.
Is there no place for Elijah any
more? Think Of the prophets who
have been before you. Think of Fee
with his gospel of impartial love.
Think of Fairchild with his message
Of education for the mountains.
Think Of Frost with, his determine
ton to give chance at all good
things to all men and women of the
Southern Appalachians.
SO long as any vineyard of any
Naboth is likely to be stolen by any
Ahab, so long is there need of the
man, who, standing behind his coun-
ter, standing before his class, still
stands before Jehovah; the man who
has lost forever the fear of men, in
proclaiming the justice of God.
What can a speaker for God do il
he .dses take the road back TO the

Well, | remember that Elijah was
hidden to anoint Jehu, king of Israel.
Yes, and Hazael, king of Syria. And
l delight to believe that as you grad
yates go down into the common life
proclaiming the justice of God, you
will go also to visit, to consecrate,
to anoint those who are to be rulers
Of our land and of other lands. Thou
shalt anoint Jehu, king of Israel.
! may be told that our students do
not need to be urged to enter into
politics. Every true son of any one

any one of our towns at this season

the court house as flies cluster about

Madison County History
BY Prof. Jas. X. Robertson

Berea, located at the extreme
southern end of Madison county, does
not forget that 1t is part Of
county which has one Of the most
distinguished histories Of any section
of Kentucky.
The county was created in 1885
while the whole region, now includ-
ed in Kentucky, was a part of Vir-
ginia. It was made by a subdivision
of Lincoln county, which was one of
the three subdivisions Of the original
Kentucky county created by Virgin
in in i776.
Madison county was named in hon
or Of James Madison, the associate Of
Thomas jefferson, distinguished in
the affairs of Virginia, one of the
leading members of the eonven-
tion which drafted our national
Constitution, and afterwards Presi-
dent Of the United States for two
terms. IL was during his admins
tration that the war of 1912 with
England occurred, war largely
brought on by the leadership of
Henry Clay and the people of the
West, a war in which Kentuckians
fought both in Northern Ohio and at
New Orleans.
Madison county is the largest of
the Bluegrass counties, and it was
the spot which attracted the notice
Of early hunters and traders and in
cited that zeal which led a land-lov-
ing people to desire possession and
settlement. To the Red River valley,
tributary of the Kentucky, came
John Findlay as early as 1857. Fa-
miliar with all the Indian lines of
travel, it was Findlay who guided
Daniel Boone TO the Mountains which
look off on the Bluegrass country.
In his famous hunt of 1869 and ITO
Boone and his companions must, many
a time, have trod the soil of Madison
county, looking for game and spying
out a place for settlement. 1t was
Boonesboro on the northern edge of
the county that he selected in ITS
when he led the little. band of set
tiers along his narrow wilderness
trail, thru the Gap in the Cumber-
lands at the southern end of the
county, and on across the county to
their destination.
All thru the Revolutionary War
the Indians from north Of the Ohio,
instigated by British influence, sought,
in vain, TO force the little group of
settlers off Kentucky soil.
Madison county was likewise
place Of importance in the Civil War.
When the Confederacy sought by
force TO conquer the State in 1862,
a flanking movement was led by Gen.
Kirby Smith along the old Wilder
ness Road His objective point was
Richmond. the county seat, and
running battle ended In the cemetery
Of that city-a discouraging defeat
for the Federal Army.
Many notable men in State and ma
tional affairs have been born in Madi-
son county. A worthy successor Of
Daniel Boone in his knowledge Of In
dians and woodcraft was Kit Carson,
the famous scout who guided John
C. Fremont on his explorations to
the Pacific Coast. The bar Of this
county has always had distinguished
men upon IL. John Speed Smith.
Daniel Breck, Curtis Burnam are
worthy examples.

Winchester. Ky, June 2.-The
Board Of Education of Kentucky
Wesleyan College met with com
mittee Of citizens Of Winchester and
Clark county TO discuss the drive for
a greater endowment for the college

Of pledge. The board stated that It

against the institution ever being re-
moved. Il was further submitted by
the citizens committee and agreed to
by the board that the money contrib
uted in Clark county should be kept
In a separate fund as an endowment
and in event said college should ever
either by removal or otherwise cease

ter, the full amount Of each Clark
county subscription is TO be refund
ed. The board Of education by unan-

World News

The English soldiers have reached
Silesia, in Germany, and received a
hearty welcome from the inhabitants.
IL is generally recognized by the Al
lies that the question of Silesia is
one which merits attention as one
of prime Importance. If there is to
be claim jumping allowed in the
countries of Europe, the peace of the
world will be continually in danger.
The merits of the case are not all
on one side, but there must be de-
cisions in the affairs Of nations that
will hold, and the peoples of the
world are coming to see it.

New regions Of the world are COM
ing into the weeks news, and now
we learn that Transjordania, or the
region east of the Jordan River, is
restless under the rule of Prince
Zeid, the native ruler of the new
Arabic Kingdom, and asks annexation
to Palestine. The rule of Great
Britain is preferred to that of any
other power in that section Of the
world. 1t is not so much a question
of British conquest as it is one of
drawing the line between sections
which wish British sovereignty.

Attention is being turned this
week to the ocean passage of two Of
the Cunard Company's great liners,
the Aquitania and the Mauretania.
The first named vessel is making
the trip with the use of oil as a fuel
and the other with the use Of coal.
Tho not a race in the usual sense Of
the term, the captains of the boats
are making it a test of the two fuels,
and much Importance may attach to
the event, as the one or other of
the vessels steams into New York

Pueblo, ColO.-Three times during
the last 4S hours the waters of the
Arkansas River, breaking from their
course, have inundated the greater
part of this city, with the resultant
loss Of probably not less than go lives
and property damage estimated at
SlO,000,OO0. To the first flood this loss
of life ana damaged property IL due
for the most part. The second and
third floods found little of value not
already ruined by the water, and were
looked upon with concern only because
they hindered rescue and reconstruc-
tioa work. First estimates of the dead,
based upon reports from excited wit
neSses who told of having seen hun
dreds of bodies swept through the
streets OF the city. are considered to
have been exaggerated.
While no official count of the fatali-
ties has been attempted, 1t is stated
that the death list probably will not
exceed $50, II that high. one hundred
bodies have been recovered, but 1t is
expected that when the mud and
debris which fills the streets and build
ings in the flooded area are cleared
away more bodies will he found. Re
lief work is progressing under the di-
rectiOn of Red Cross officials and mill
tary officials. The greatest danger at
the present time is said 10 be from pes
thence.
Food is being rationed. Those with
out funds with which to purchase pro-
visions are being cared for by the Red

buy only limited amount Of food
from local stores.

dicted in February in the Madison
circuit for selling intoxicating liquor
and sentenced TO one year in the pen

10 reverse the judgment on the
grounds that he should not have been
convicted Of felony.
In 1917 Walker was convicted OF
the same charge and was given n
Jail sentence. An act of 1920 pro-
yides that the second violation Of the
prohibition law constitutes felony.
As his first conviction was before the
enactment Of the law making the
second ofrense felony. Walker con-
tends that felony 'charge should not
have been placed against him.
