THE ONE-MAN CAR

The one-man car system recently
inaugurated by the Ohio Electric IN
Newark bobbed up again at Monday
nights council meeting, and a COM
nunication was read from B. j. Jones,
receiver for the company, stating
that the system was being operated
here to cut out the loss incurred IN
operating cars in Newark, and that
the action was taken under authority
of the u. S. court at Toledo and the
state utilities commission. Solicitor
Ashcraft also rendered a written
opinion stating the company was not
violating its franchise and that there
was no law forbidding the operation
of one-man cars in Ohio. This being
the case would it not be possible for
the city council to pass an ordinance,
which could not possibly conflict with
a non-existing law, that would re-
instate the conductor on the city cars
and reopen the locked rear door,
which is not only great inconven-
ience but a deadly menace to life and
limb in case Of an accident or panic
on a crowded car?

ROYALTY COMES HIGH

The people of Canada have to pay
S293,OOO to meet government expen-
ditures in Connection with the visit
of the Prince of Wales. This enor-
nous item is hidden from view by
the newspapers that refer to the re-
port of the auditor-general. The
Statesman publishing it says in the
course of a brief coment: "Why the
taxpayers of the Dominion,-after a
crushing war that finds many of our
returned soldiers unemployed, and
that adds two billions to our national
debt,-should be asked to pay nearly
three hundred thousand dollars to en-
tertain the Prince of Wales, calls for
some explanation. 1t is an act of
criminal folly......... What does the
press say to this extravaganza? ?" The
press says nothing, and the appropri-
alton will probably pass unchallenged
through the House. Nor is it for us
Americans to point the finger of
scorn" at Canada. How many "cri-
minal follies" were committed against
US during the past five or six years,
and how few of them has our press
dared to censure! 1t is the same
everywhere: the masses of the people
writhe hopelessly and helplessly in the
chains forged for them by their
capitalistic masters and the plant
tools of the latter the ronscienceless
politicians.-To which comments by
"The Echo" Buffalo, April 7, we
would add that many of the selfsame
idiots of our daily press who for many
long year bored their helpless
readers by the monotonous refrain
"all kings must CO." kowtoked and
bowed and scratched in characteristic
slavish fashion when royalty or its
fifth cousin, from the Allied camp,
made it's tactless visits to the United
States. And these contemplate
slaves Of the press had the impudence
to pose as preachers and champions
of worldwide democracy during the
war!

MauSOIeum Started

Ground was broken for the Com
munity Mausoleum to be built in
Cedar Hill Cemetery, on Wednesday
afternoon of last week, the first
shovel full of earth being turned by
Mayor H. A. Atherton in the presence
of Director of Public Service Gilcrest;
Superintendent Crilly of the Gene
terry; Chas. R. Raynor, General Man
ager; J. H. Shaw; w. T., King of the
Licking Mausoleum Construction Co.
and number of others who are in
terested in the project.
In making preliminary reservations
in the building the company stated
that work would begin before June
1st Of this year but the excellent
weather conditions as we'll as the
great number of reservations which
have already been made have war
ranted that operations should start
couple months sooner than intende J..
The contract has been awarded to
O. J. Hawkins & Son, the work being
under the personal supervision Of
Fred A. Hawkins who has recentlJ
completed the J. ]. Carroll building.
Mr.. Hawkins says that this building
as shown by the plans and specifica-
tions is the best that can be built.
The walls are to be of granite and
the structural members from footings
are to be of reinforced concrete.
There has never been an estimate of
the life of either granite or rein
forced concrete; the former has en-
dured since before man had record
and the latter, experience shows, be-
come stronger with age. Between
all exterior and interior walls there
is an air chamber which is ventilated
at the top and bottom to the outside
air through bronze grills. The
crypts, which are also of reinforced
concrete construction and enameled
white on the inside, have very elabo-
rate non-mechanical ventilating sys-
tenn by which fresh air is supplied to

WHY GERMANY SURVIVES

German Communists, admitting
their insurrection a failure, have
called off the revolution. Nothing in
history equals the extraordinary
stability of the Geramn republican
government, with an humble harness
maker at the head.
The thing is, however, not so diff
cult to understand when you realize
that today the ablest men in Germany
are called in to solve Germany's
problems. They no longer select
those most ingenious in flattering a
Kaiser, nor do they select the "nobly
born," who have proved source OF
harm because Of their in-breeding for
centuries.

i No, a Political Issue.

There 10 no opposition to the
amendment anywhere II has been
unanimously endorsed BY the Ken
tucky Educational Association. The
Kentucky Educational Survey Com
mission insists that We cannot hope
for any great Improvement In our
schools until this amendment has been
adopted. The Federated Womans'
Clubs OF Kentucky have endorsed Il
Rotary CLUBS and Boards OF Trade
and Chambers Of Commerce through
out the state have endorsed II. Both
political parties have endorsed IT, The
Legislature that proposed It did SO BY
the votes Of the members OF both par
ties. II Is not q political issue. II
Is not proposed in the interest OF this
party or that party; II Is proposed
solely In the interest OF the Kentucky
child. For. the sake OF the Kentucky
child. the Kentucky voters should
make the vote in favor OF the amend
ment so overwhelming that no man
could any longer be In doubt about
determination to have q
school system equal to any in the ma

woman in Kentucky should read II
most carefully and then act definitely
when voting on the two amendments
to the Constitution at the November
election:
Education In Kentucky In the past
has suffered more from lack OF q
definite policy and continued pro-
gram than from any other single
cause. Every four years admlnistra-
ton OF our schools Is changed. Under
the law no State Superintendent can
succeed himself. Our school laws are
a sort OF legislative crazy quilt Each
succeeding Superintendent adds n
patch or two that may or may not
harmonlze with the whole. No busi-
ness can succeed II Its policies are
changed every four years. The I'D.
minlstration Of schools Is the States
biggest business. In no department Of
government Is a permanent program
more necessary than in the admins
tration OF schools. Kentucky win not
have better schools until she has bet
ter administration OF her schools.
Kentucky win not have better admin
lstratlon Of her schools so long as she
has politically elected Superintendents
serving only four years.

parties Back Movement.

Both political parties In Kentucky
have proposed through q plank In
their platforms TO take the office Of
State Superintendent out Of politics
and 10 place II upon a professional
basis and 10 make 1t possible for
Superintendent to succeed himself.
The administration OF our schools
ought not TO be a political Issue. The
rights OF our children do NOT admit
OF any division OF opinion. Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike believe
thar tho Kentucky child should be given

The two political parties do not DIFF
FER In their attitude toward schools
any more than they differ in their At
titude toward the Ten Command.

Constitutional Amendment will unite
the two parties In practice even a.
they are now united in principle In
theit support Of schools. The adop
ton OF the amendment will give The
Legislature the power 70 DIX the term
Of the superintendent: will give the
Legislature the power TO prescribe
the manner Of his election; win give
the Legislature the power TO place the
office upon professional rather than
on political basis. The State Super
intendent is the only school adminle

llticaily elected. The President Of

Miss Mecca Pennington

Oh, how sad are the hours and how
long the days since our dear sister left
us. But we weep not as those who
have no hope, for we have a sweet as
surance that Mecca Is resting in the
arms of Jesus. We weep only because
we miss her sweet presence so much,
We miss the kind words and smiles
she always had for every one.
Mecca had been in bad health for
over two years and had been confined
to her bed five weeks. She departed
this life July rs. 1921, age 20 years, Is
months and Is days. She had always
been a patient sufferer and often be-
fore death claimed her she would say
she wished that she could leave this
world and shortly before she left she
asked those around her to pray for God
to take her then and told mother to
pray for little brother to come to go
with her.
Our home is lonely now for the sum
shine of our home is gone, but we
humbly submit to Gods win, for we
know II we live as she told us to we
shall meet again, not here on earth
in pain and sorrow. but up yonder
where there is no death, where the
hands OF our dariings will not be cold
and clammy in death, but all Is happi-
ness.
Mecca was always so glad when her
friends came to see her and the last
words she was heard to say were that
the people had been so goo dto come
and see her.
The consolation to us is the fact that
we know our sister is at peace. Our
dear sister whom we've loved SO long
and with whom we've spent so many
happy hours is in the land where the
weary are at rest. Her poory warm
frame win never more be rocked In
pain. suffering is no more. sGi
It will only be little while till Wen
cross over the dark river and Join our
sister among the hosts OF loved ones
gone before.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are DER,
On the border land we left her,
Soon to meet and part no more.
When we leave this world OF changes
When we leave this world of care;
We shall find our missing loved one.
In our Fathers mansion fair.
She was laid to rest in the family
burying ground on the point beside lit
tie brother who left us years ago. Ser
vices were conducted by Bro. Berry.

IN MEMORY

In sad but loving remembrance OF
our dear cousin. Mrs, Julia Moore
whose soul took its flight to the God
who gave it. July 20, 1921.
Julia McKinster Moore was born
February 20, 1905. She died at the age
of I6 years months and days.
Julia was converted at the age OF IA
years and Joined the Freewill Baptist
church and it can truly be said Of Julia
she lived up to her duty as a chris.
tan.
On March II. she became the wife of
Hubert Moore of ,Ledocio. In the death
of Julia the husband has lost a faith

awful typhoid fever.
Her father being anxious to know
how she felt about dying asked her II

ply was, know it. II / wasn't would
be praying. Then she said Gods will

became too i'll to talk on any subject,

though she was praising God.
oh, what thought to us. We know
where to find julian a land Of Para

What a comfort this should be TO
