He's not as spry as he was in his
younger days, and he doesn't look as
snowy as he did several years ago. but
he can't be bought" said John Strickland,
a farmer who lives near Rocheport, speak
ing of his horse.
You see, my children learned to ride
and drive him when they grew up. and
he's pulled the plow that provided them
bread. Now they are all married and
gone, all FIVE Of them.
''Thirty-three years ago. Mary Ann and
drove that horse to Boonville one Sun
day afternoon and got married. He was
all the property | had, but, next to Mary
Ann, he has been my best friend.
Il have a little farm Of forty acres,
and home all paid for and few pigs
and COWS, and yard full Of chickens. so
| don't guess | need to worV. don't
need to drive Seelam, this horse, any
more, but he likes to get out occasion

DRINKING AMONG COLLEGE
MEN LARGELY DECREASED
Deans of -30S Schools Say That
Spirit of Bravad0 Has
l. Diminished.

An investigation conducted by Presi-
dent F. c. Southworth. of the Mead
vile Theological School. reveals that
drinking by college men in 308 Ameri-
can colleges has largely decreased since
prohibition.
THE accusation is frequent that pro-
hibition has increased drinking among
college Students" Dr. SOuthworth said
in the circular letter sent to the deans
of 486 American colleges. The tenor
Of the 308 replies was overwhelmingly
to the effect that there had been
marked decrease in the last three years.
There was. apparently, in some in
stitutions. considerable defiance of the
law during the first year Of prohibition.
in a spirit Of bravado,' his report said.
"As the enforcement Of the law has be-
come more effective, however. lawless-
ness has diminished until in the vast ma
jority of American colleges the drink
problem has ceased to exist 1t will
continue TO be problem in some Of
the metropolitan colleges until the law
is more successfully enforced in the
cities themselves.
'One hundred and eleven institutions,
representing l25,960 students, reported
emphatically that there had been no
increase in the consumption of liquor
since the passage Of the Eighteenth
Amendment. One hundred and thirty
three, representing $4,000 students. re-
ported positive decrease, many of them
affirming that they knew Of no consump-
ton Of liquor whatever among students
Sixteen, representing 6,929 students, were
unable to reply categorically to the ques-
ton because they affirmed that there had
been no drinking at their institutions
either before or after the passage Of
the amendment.
One of the most interesting bits of
information elected from the replies was
the fact that in the colleges for negroes
the drinking problem never had existed.
in the thirty women's colleges to
which, for the sake Of completeness, the
inquiry was addressed, drinking has never
been a problem. The officers of these
colleges are utterly without knowledge
of the consumption of liquor of any
kind by the students.
There were. among the colleges for
men, however, thirteen exceptions to the
prevailing opinion: Thirteen institutions,
representing A,74l students-the stu
dents in two of these colleges aggregat-
ing 36,lOLeither reported or implied an
increase in the consumption of liquor
since the passage Of the amendment"

A Good Committee

Louisville Democrats have at
last finished the task of reorgan-
izing the Democratic City and
County Committee in Louisville,
and the finished product is of a
character that should make for
future political success.
All the men brought into the
committee are intelligent and
forwardlooking citizens, and
most of them have had expert
ence in political organization. 1t
is to be assumed that they will
appoint as their coadjutors wom-
en- of similar capacity, and dur
ing the next year or two we will
hear less of factional quarrels in
side the party organization. and
more of united efforts to build
the party up to a point where it
can begin to win victories. The

party upon its new committee,
and looks to that committee to
offer this community strong can
didates for the Court of Appeals
and for Congress in this years
