POOLED TOBACCO
DELIVERED AND
ADVANCES MADE
Three Houses Chosen for the Receipt
Of Pooled Tobacco are Centers Of
Much Actiylty-Checks
Being Issued.

The Burley Tobacco Cooperative
Association began functioning In
Maysville Monday morning and things
were moving about the Home, Central
and Farmers warehouses;, the three
local houses belonging to the associa-
tion, chosen for the receipt Of tobacco
The local organization has been
completed with Mr., John Breslin for
merly with the Growers warehouse, as
manager OF the Maysville market. Mr.
Gordon Asbury is floor manager at
the Home, Mr.. James Robinson, floor
manager ut the Farmers and Mr.. c. c.
Hopper floor manager at the Central
There are four graders for the local
market, two Of these graders will op-
crate at the Home, one at the Central
and one at the Farmers. They are
Messrs. Hendrickson, OF Mt. Sterling
Henderson. OF Lexington, Griswold. oi
Frankfort, and Denton, OF Paris. On
Monday the graders worked In pairs
SO that they could become acquainted
with the grading schedule and system.
Schedules have been made out for
the receipt OF approximately one hun
dred wagon loads of pooled weed each
day and growers have registered Tor
several days In advance.
Checks for advances on crops deliv-
cred and graded were issued by Mr.,
W. F. Steele, formerly Of the lnde-
pendent Central warehouse company,
who Is In charge OF the office Of the To-
cal market, which Is located In the
Home warehouse.
Averages on advances, which repre-
sent fifty per cent. OF the crop value
ran around an average Of n little over
nine cents. These checks are expected
to greatly relieve the financial situa-
ton among the tobacco growers In
Kentucky and will help business In
general.
As soon as the organization here is
smoothed down by experience and the
graders are properly advised and dis
tributed amoong the receiving houses,
receipt OF tobacco can be speeded ur
considerably and much OF the weed
will be handled daily until the crop IN
this district Is received.

MAYSv|LlE WOMAN'S
GRANDSON INJURED
IN THEATER CRASH
First Report that Mr.. Hugh .Nesbit,
Formerly Of Maysville, Suffered
Serious Injuries in Theater
Crash Untrue.

Mrs. T. Y. Nebitt, of East Second
street, has been advised by telegraph
by her son, Mr.. Hugh Nesbit, Wash
ington newspaper correspondent, that
the first report that he was in the
knickerbocker Theater at Washington
when the great crash came Saturday
and suffered broken leg, is untrue.
Mr. Nesbit's son, Hugh, Jr., however,
was in the theater but escaped with
only slight injuries.
Washington, Jan. 80. - The death
toll caused by collapse of the Knick-
erbocker Theater roof here Saturday
night-the greatest movie picture the
ater catastrophe in the history of the
nountry-stood at 113' today.
Deaths were reported hourly from
the hospitals throughout the city
where ia injured victims of the dis
aster many of whom are near death
were being cared for.
Police officials and rescue workers
believed the death list would pass 1875.
E. II. Shaughnessy, second assistant
postmaster general, was in a critical
condition today of injuries incurred in
the theater horror. His legs were
mangled and he suffered internal in
iuries. Three blood transfusions were
made during the night He was not
expected to live.
Rescue squads which had worked
frantically for 36 hours to extricate
those trapped in the gaping hole Of
the theater, believed today all the dead
had been removed.
Workers still we're carrying out
debris, however. and making a final
search.
Several Investigations of the cause
of the catastrophe will be started at
once.
Senator Arthur Capper, Kansas, in
the Senate today will demand that the
District of Columbia make a complete
inquiry. A similar request probably
will be made in the House.
The district commissioners, the To-
cal building inspector and the coroner
have ordered Investigations.
The coroner's jury probably will be
summoned today.

New Legislation Not Cure.

The law enforcement committee of the
American Bar association has been holding
conference on crime in Chicago. Into its ses-
sions were called criminologists, professors.
theorists, wardens, parole officers, judges and
prosecutors. The conference considered the
crime question from all angles. What legis-
lation should be had to improve conditions
was also considered. From some of the things
which have been revealed in Chicago recently
we divine that the need of the day is not more
legislation, but a greater and more thorough
disputes and contentious in which prosecutors
and judges have been engaging in Chicago have
been undignified. They have given courage
to law breakers New legislation cannot affect
such a situation. New legislation will not
place in the prosecutors office more efficient
or more thorough attorneys.
New legislation will not divorce the Grim
inal from his political hacker. nor separate the
lawless from the administration of public af-
fairs. New legislation will not remove the
policeman from the influence of a strong polit-
ical boss, whose word overrides the call of duty
Nor will legislation inspire the private citizen
with greater zeal for law obedience and observ-
ance The spirit of notification pervades all
walks of life. Every man, every corporation
every interest, makes its own selection among
the statutes and proceeds to obey or nullify as
its personal inclination or interest dictates In
this is the secret of that law defiance that bears
fruit in the crimes of violence against person
and property

Revival IN Gold Fields.

Resumption Of operations in the Rand mines.
following the recent strike, marks a moment
from which the worlds annual output of gold
may gradually increase. That it will return
to the maximum figure of 1915, when the
amount mined totaled $46S, 72391$, is not to be
expected, not at least a possibility of the
near future, nor OF known deposits. The jump
in the general price level during the war
brought disaster to the gold mining industry
Increased cost OF labor, machinery, fuel and
transportation was Offset in other industries
by a rise in the price of the product but laws
hold gold down to the old paper money price
per ounce. Many mines had to close down By
1919 the world output had shrunk to some
s3s5.oo0, 900.
Now that prices have declined the industry
shows signs of revival Labor is plentiful in
some at least of the worlds great gold districts
Other costs have come down substantially, and
plants which for several years have lain idle
are now resuming activity. The gold produc-
ton of the future may come largely from other
regions than the main fields of the past The
total production of Canada has chances of ris-
ing, while the South African fields are thought
by some to have reached their maximum capac-
ity But in any event, each decrease in the
price and wage level will open up more gold
mines somewhere.

high. We will buy elsewhere" 50 the system
Is regulated By the public. which in the long
run knows better what Il wants than any gov
eminent board. This is true everywhere ex-
cept in the case OF natural monopoiies like
railroads, where we have TO take other reguia-
tive measures
II the government should undertake to nix
prices for farm products It would throw the
whole system out OF gear. 1t would induce men
to raise stuG, not in accordance with the de
mands OF society, but in accordance with arti-
fetal standards Farmers would devote them
selves to the raising Of guaranteed products
and would neglect the others. With price
fixed by the government for wheat, corn, live
stock and cotton, what would happen to the
manufacturing districts? The cost of living
would be raised, there would be at once a
clamor 10 have the government raise the prices
of manufactured articles correspondingly. II
the government is to pay more for cotton than
cotton is worth, why shouldn't it pay more for
cotton shirts than cotton shirts are worth! II
we once begin TO tax people to pay favored
classes more for their products than the market

dustrial system aud starting game that every

Public High School Efficiency.

An official report from that university says
that students entering Princeton from the pub
lie high school are better prepared to take up
the studies of the college curriculum than those
who come from private preparatory schools
This is tribute to the efficiency of the meth
DDS of instruction used in the public schools
that is no less gratifying than it is deserved
The fact that the course of study used in the
college preparatory course of the Rock Island
high school is accredited by most of the lead
ing colleges of the country is one that ought
to give check to some of those who are prone
to criticize without thorough investigation 1t
is true that there are many kinds of private
schools. some of which make a speciality of
working over and making the best out of ma
terial that has been rejected by the public
schools, others which are designed to shield
rich mems sons from the contamination of hoi
poili and others still that are first-class insti-
buttons of learning, offering the best possible
special preparation for collegiate career. On
the other hand, the preparation of young men
and women for college is only a small part of
the work Of the public high school, only
small percentage of whose graduates enter
higher institutions of learning
That students prepared in the public
schools are found not only to hold their own,
but to surpass the graduates of schools which
make specially Of preparing students for col
lege is positive and highly satisfactory evidence
that our public schools are doing good work.
This does not mean that some of the criticisms
passed upon the public high school and its sys-
tenn of education are not justified but it does
indicate that many of them are fnical and I'M
deserved. If anyone is in doubt of the stand
ing OF the Rock Island high school as pre-
paratory school for college it would be per-
fectly proper for him to look up the facts.
Either the principal or superintendent of
schools can supply them and the seeker after
tnformstion win be glad that he asked.

knowledge is Power.

In a great factory one Of the huge power
machines suddenly baked. In spite of exhorta-
ton, language, oil and general tinkering it re-
refused to bulge. Production slowed down and
the management tore its hair. At last an expert
was called in He carefully examined the ma
chine for a few minutes, then called for a
hammer. Briskly tapping here and there for
about ten minutes. he announced that the ma
chine ready to move. And it did. Two
days later the management received bill for
$3.50, the experts fee. The accountant was a
righteous man who objected to overcharges.
He demanded a detailed statement of the &C
count He received this: To tapping machine
with hammer, 81; to knowing where to tap, $249.

Outlawing War.

Captain McNamee, chief of the naval intelli-
gence service, proposes that the nations be
called together for conference not to discuss
compromises concerning warfare principles
of arbitration but for the purpose of making
war world outlaw. He wants the nations to
vote out of society altogether. That is a
good idea II war can be illegalized the thing
will be done with. Then If anyone starts war
the rest of the nations will consider this war
ring nation suspended from all international
fellowship until it resumes lawful life. We
like the captains idea, but we fear that the
faith of humanity is not prepared to accept the
proposition yet
In the meantime let US continue building up
sentiment for righteousness and peace. ST Paul
struck timely note when he said: Let broth
erly love continue" Before we can make it con-
tinue we must get it among ourselves and
world policy. II ever anything merited
illegaliEation war is that thing. War to end
war has been CHASTITY failure Making the
world safe for democracy has made many
cynics. Mankind never overcame evil with evil
and never will The only thing that can over
come evil is good. The spirit of good is the
spirit of good will that works in love. This is
sentiment that is sound any science and
is practical because 1t is a law Of nature.

How Price Fixing Fails.

The whole American industrial system is
based on making all the people a sort of grand
committee to pass on prices. the sort of SER
vice desired. and the kind and number Of in
dustries needed to provide for the country We
do not have government board to tell a man
he shall not build another shoe factory, or es-
tablish another dry goods store We let him
go ahead and use his best judgment Then the
grand committee of all the people passes on
what he has done. If it decides his service
isn't worth while IL withholds its patronage
and he goes out of business. In the same way
We let the manufacturer or the retail dealer
fix his own prices. Then the grand committee
or an the;people may say: your prices are too
