TO ARM EMPLOYEES

The Postoffice Department has an
nopnoed that II viii arm its employees
af,ainst postal robberies.
"Many of the employees are men of
great nerve and experienced in the
use Of firearms thru military and
naval service, and they will give a
warm reception to the mail robbers,
said the departments announcement.
II was added that these employees
would instruct others in the use of
firearms, as the Postoffice Depart
ment is determined to put an end to
raids by robbers such as have oc-
Cured recently in Western cities.
The department also announced
that serious consideration was given
to recommendation to Congress of an
amendment to the penal code provid-
ing more severe sentences for mail
robbers.

CANADIANS ENDORSE
PROHIBITION

In a referendum vote in Ontario
last Monday the electors of the prov
ince voted the province bone dry.
The official majority for the drys is
announced at between 125,000 and
100000. The total vote cast was
about 100000.
The only question in the ballot was
"Shall the importation and bringing
of intoxicating liquors into the prov
ince Of Ontario be forbidden"
All that now remains TO be done IN
check the inflow of liquor into Ontario
from the province Of Quebec as well
as from abroad, is for the Governor
to issue his proclamation making eff
fective the Dominion act forbidding
such importation.
As a result of Mondays vote six
provinces-Albert, Nova Scotia, Man
itoba, Saskatchewan, Prince Edward
Island and Ontario-are now dry
government control of liquor is IN
effect in Quebec and British Colum
bia. New Brunswick and Yukor
Territory will hold a referendum dur
ing the year.

which would accompany it. Any
method of election would limit the
choice TO residents of the State, place
a premium upon favoritism in Office,
give an advantage TO the person who
worked for immediate show of re-
suits instead Of one who would
strive to lay deep and solid founda-
tions for a system Of education
worthy Of our people, and demand a
spirit Of self-advancement very dis
tasteful to the best type Of school
man. The really big men IN the ed
ucational field are not seeking but
being sought today, and Kentucky
needs the biggest man obtainable to
bring her schools up to an efficiency
worthy Of her children. In addition
to these objections to the elective
method, the average citizen Is far
less capable Of making a wise choice
as to professional fitness for a highly
technical position than would be the
members Of small Board. To bring
this point out more clearly, ask any
citizen Of Louisville. Lexington, Gov.
ington, or any smaller city, town, or
village in our State what he would
think Of electing a Superintendent Of
Schools for his system by popular
vote from among the citizens of his
community and see what he would
say. Such a method would not be
considered for a moment. These
school systems demand the privilege
of going upon the open market and
securing the best talent their money
and opportunities for professional
service will buy. II this system of
appointive superintendency is so evil
IDENTIFY good for the people of these
units, why should it not possess dis
tinct merit for a state system?
