REGISTRATION ACT
HELD invalid By
APPELLATE COURT
Injunction Granted BY Court Of APP
peals Throwing General Registra.
ton Into the Discard-ThOusands
OF Dollars Lost to Counties.

Frankfort, KY, June 29. - The gcn-
eral registration act OF 1922, requiring
all voters to register In ever precinct
In the state the second Monday and
Tuesday in July, was held unconstitu-
tional by Chief Justice Rollin Hurt OF
the Court OF Appeals this afternoon.
granting an Injunction to J. NJ. Per-
kins. prominent Republican Of Frank
fort, to restrain the Franklin County
Board OF Election Commissioners from
holding the registration The suit was
backed by the Republican state organ
ization.
All the Judges OF the Court OF APP
peals considered the case with the
Chief Justice and all concurred In the
conclusion. excepting Judge William
Rogers Clay OF this district, who filed
a dissenting opinion.
The act was held unconstitutional
because II does not provide for a spe-
cial registration outside cities for spe-
cial elections or for a special regis
tration OF public officers, militiamen.
Jurors and others, whose duties pre-
vent them from registering on the reg
ular registration day.
This decision disposes of the gener-
al registration. but an interesting al
termath OF the suit involves the pay
ment OF about $4,000 for the regis
tration books. sent to the county
clerks. The Standard Printing Com
pany, Bradley-Gilbert Company and c.
r. Dearing Company OF Louisville,
bound an equal number OF the books.
about II, 900 In all The work was done
under the supervision OF the Board OF
Registration Commissioners, created
by the act, composed u Secretary OF
State Fred A. Vaughan, and the chair
men OF tho Democratic and Repub-
lican State Committees. They were. OF
course, required to act In time to get
the books to the County Clerks before
the registration. The law provides
that tho counties shall pay for their
own books and the clerks notified the
printers OF the numbers they needed.
1t is apprehendcd that counties. may
resist payment. and 1t IL doubted
whether the state may reimburse the
printers without legislative sanction.
In consequence of this situation fur
ther litigation may follow the action
OF the court in the injunctontion case
today.
The General Registration Act we )
put through the General Assembly as
a party measure and was vetoed by
Governor Morrow. 1t was then passed
over his veto The outcome OF the
suit, naturally has given great salts
faction to the Republicans.

Since It was family night Evangelist
Howard preached on "The Home" TAX
ing as his text Isaiah 3S:3: "Set thine
house in order for thou shalt die"
THE dearest spot on earth is home.
1t is an institution for the happiness
OF man. The home makes possible the
welfare OF other institutions. 1t is a
character builder. The marks OF home
will always be detected in your life.
Home is a unit OF the nation. From 1t
| the state, the churches, and public
schools arise. The question OF faith
in God Is settled In the home. Many
parents today manifest no interest as
to where their children go. Many a
boy Is following in the tracks OF his
father. Where are you leading him? =?
Some day your children will be gath
cred around your death bed and what
will they say Of you? Have they ever
heard you pray!
THE Bible says: Train up child
in the way he should go and In after
years he will not depart from It.
Training a child means helping It to
put in practice the things you teach II.
Parental authority is weakening. II
you would blot out drunkards and law
breakers from the nation don't raise
them in your home. The boy who
obeys at home will not break the laws
Of school, state. or nation. II you

When Happiness Comes,

There are few days set down IN the
calendar of a mans life In which hap
piness comes in her own pure and orig
inal beauty. When she does, she is
attended by holy affections; she comes
as when she first wandered in the gar
den of Eden, and fills the heart with
her presence. Fame, Wealth, and
Ambition, the idols of the earth, are
not there; but Love and her tender
relations and holy ties, at once the
image and the boon of it's Divine Gre
atOr.

Machinery for a Twelve Months Marketing of
Our Annual Production



AS a merchant nation we must study the changing conditions and adj
just our merchandising and financing operations to them. We must rec
ognize the necessity of selling our agricultural products more gradually
than we did in former years and the corresponding necessity of carrying
our commodities for a longer period Of marketing. We need the machin-
cry that will make possible a twelve months marketing.
The producers Of basic commodities in America, | am convinced, are
going to have more to say in The future than they had in the past about
the marketing of their products. They will not be satisfied always to mar
kt their products in a lump at harvest time, to be held by others until
the consumer is ready to buy.
If it can be made possible for the producer, under normal conditions,
to market his products gradually there will be many advantages. The
producer will not be compelled to sell his crop at a particular time without
regard to the consuming demand, and the danger of violent fluctuations
will be considerably reduced. And nothing would be better for the pro-
Queer and the consumer-beter for the nation as a whole-than to have
q comparatively steady market and steady flow of business.

The Open Country Just at the Threshold of a
Social Development
By DEAN EUGENE DAVENPORT, University of Illinois.


The development of country life in America has been a slow and in
many respects a complicated matter. The old-ime three months winter
school has developed into the modern community high school, and in many
localities the farmers sons and daughters can prepare for college while
sleeping every night under the fathers roof.
The religious life of the community has not equally developed. In
many respects we have gone backward, Is compared with the early days,
and there is no feature of farm life that needs now more earnest attention
than the development of the country church.
The best of modern country homes are now equipped with all modern
ccnveniences, and they are real centers of culture, but their number needs
vastly to increase. There is no larger problem before the American people
today than is the financial machinery for facilitating the purchase Of
country homes.
All in al, the open country is just at the threshold of a social deyel-
opment which ought to result in IN American type of citizenship, not only
Industrious but cultured and III every way thoroughly consistent with the
standards of a sef-goyernng people.

mere operation create a new and wel-pMd industry which would give d.
rect employment to tens of thousands of men and pay to our own people
the millions upon millions Of dollars which otherwise 90 out of this coun-
try to enrich other nations. A great fleet Of ocean-going vessels would
give direct employment to tens of thousands of men in our shipyards and
repair docks.
But the dominating fact which brings home a realization of the truth
that our ships must remain on the sa is the fact that the people Of this
country have so increased their production that they have vast SURPRISES
which must find markets in foreign lands or millions of people in this
country will have their opportunities to produce and earn crippled or
destroyed.
1t is the unsod surplus that closes the factory door, that cuts off the
weekly pay check, that sends men into the streets hunting for work.
Yet those direct benefits coming from American ships constitute but
one feature of this national problem. Every cargo of coal, grain, manu-
featured goods, fruits, sent abroad, not only brings to our own people its
equivalent in money or value, but it also furnishes al opportunity for our
people to produce another cargo to replace that which has been sent abroad,
and thus it gives additional employment both to home labor and home
capital
