Methodist Episcopal Church Notes.

The Every Member CANVASS was the
most successful in the history of the
church and assures the financial sup
port of the church for the year to
come. The Brotherhood banquet call
ed out such a large crowd that it was
necessary to reset the tables three
times, having the program in the main
part of the church instead of at the
tables as planned. Readings were
given by Miss Faith Edmunds and
Miss Marion Brooks; solos by Mrs.
Lawson and Mrs. Raymore. Because
of the lateness of the hour it was
necessary to cut out the other
speeches, giving the time to Judge
John E. Weeks who began his speech
at about 10 o'clock. The subject was
so interesting and helpful that the
people wished the Judge might have
spoken for an hour longer. Judge
Weeks was introduced by Hon. T. G.
Cheney, who spoke of the splendid
work he had done for the State in his
present Office and hoped that we would
yet see him Governor of the State.

CoIvin's Non-Partisan" Scheme

A good deal of opposition is
already appearing over the state
in the country papers to Supt
George Colvins amendment to
the state constitution to have the
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction taken out of poll
tics" or in other words, to have
him appointed by. a commission
named by the governor--sort OF
like the governor appoints the
State Tax Commission, and they
slap the raises on your property,
without a chance CT appeal.
Anyway, Harry Sommers, OF
the Elizabethtewn News, who
has been in public life and poll
tics for SO long that he's learned
to tell a hawk from a handsaw,
thinks mighty little of Colvin's
scheme. Sommers pertinently
asked the other day how many
Democrats Colvin has retained in
his office of State Superintendent
of Public Instruction when he
took charge at Frankfort. Mr.
Sommers' question might devel-
op just how much Colvin does
believe in this 'out-of-politics"
non-partisan business; whether
he believes in It enough to prac-
tice it himself. Sommers says
about the proposed amendment
again:
The basis for this proposed
change of the law, according to
Superintendent Colvin, is to take
the schools out of politics. The
real purpose of the amendment,
however, is to take away from
the taxpayers the right to elect
the School Superintendent on the
ground that they are not quail
fed to select the right kind of a
man, and to put the naming Of
this important official in the
hands of a Commission. appoint
ed by the Governor who will play
just about as much politics in
the selection as the people do.
The Governor will have prom
ised the Office if he is elected to
some political friend who he
believes can deliver him a good
man votes, either in the primary
