The Church and League.

In a recent issue of the Living
Church, a religious paper pub
lished by and for members of the
Episcopalian church, the follow.
ing editorial appears:
Organized Christianity the
world over demanded the League
of Nations. There has seldom
been such organic unity among
Christian bodies throughout the
world as in that unanimity.
From the churches of all the ma
tions separately to the prelimi-
nary World Conference at &C.
neva, the Lambreth Conference
and the Pope, the League of Ma
tions embodied the organized
Christian sentiment of the world
for world reconstruction. :. /.

the same qualifications as Sena.
tors and Representatives.
The purpose of this bill is to
oust men who are now employed
in these institutions who are not
citizens of Kentucky, that their
places may be filled with Ken
tuckians only.
We are in full sympathy with
Senator Brock. One Of the prin-
ciple reasons why the proposed
amendment to the constitution
providing for the appointment
instead of the election of the
State Superintendent of Schools
was that the Board of Education
could go out of the State to Sc
lect the Superintendent.
The people of Kentucky, re-
gardless of politics, do not think
the State so destitute of ability
as not to find among its citizen
ship a man capable of filling
every position in it. If we have
men qualified to be Governor and
Judges Of the Court of Appeals
we certainly have men qualified
to be Superintendents of Asy-
lums and Wardens of the peni-
tentiaries. We believe that all
the offices in the State should go
to citizens of the State and if
there is any office in the common
wealth that no Kentuckian is
qualified to fill that Office ought
to be abolished.
In addition to our belief that
there is a citizen of Kentucky
qualified for every position there
is still another reason why Ken
tuckians should hold all the off,
ces in Kentucky-that citizen
of the State has a different and
a higher reason to make good in
State position because he has the
proper pride as a citizen to make
The Adair County news., 1922-02-14

good and his future preferment
depends in a great measure upon
whether he makes good. If
Wardens and Superintendents of
asylums do not grow in Ken
lucky but in Ohio, Indiana and
other States if a Kentuckian
wanted to fill one Of these posi-
tions he would move to one of
these States in order to get a job.
He would be like old Ben
Hardin when he settled in Eliza
BEETHOVEN to practice law. One
of his first clients told him he
wanted to employ him until the
big lawyers from Bardstown
came over to court when he
would he would employ one or
them.
Mr.. Hardin concluded at once
if all the big lawyers lived at
Bardstown that he would move
there Immediately and he did.
We hope Senator Brooks bill
will pass, and we think it will.
Since putting the above arti-
Gle in type, the Brock bill in
question has been killed, but not
having time to set other matter
to take its place, we let it go for
the good sense it contains.

Every right-thinking person made aware OF

transportation of the Future.

SST THINK we can perfect small motored
plane at low cost-under $I,ooo-which
could be used sports plane and later for COM
mercial purposes" Thus speaks Glenn H. Curtiss
perhaps the most conspicuous figure in the de-
vesopment of heavier-than-air flying machines.
When, few weeks ago, German college
student remained in the air more than three hours
in motorless plane the world wondered But,
folks asked, to what practical purpose can such a
sensational development in aviation be put? The
glider it is constituted, is not likely to
prove of great value in AS an implement of
sport its manipulation is too difficult for anyone
but mechanical genius willing to spend years in
getting familiar with air currents.
But Mr.. Curtiss has supplied the answer. That
German college boy has pointed the way to a new
era in aviaton-to the of cheap planes which
be handled safely by anybody All that is
needed is small motor to do away with the re-
quirement of extensive and instructive knowledge
of air variations.
Those sensational flights mark the beginning
Of the period of universal aviation. They mark,
although the consummation still is afar off, the
waning OF the automobile.

where good judgment was required TO be on the
winning side and grab a ,goodiy portion of the
spoils. Constantine made bad error.
He makes mistakes rather frequently. Almost
soon he restored to the throne he made
even worse error than the for which he had
been exiled. With weak, disgruntled leaderless
army he picked fight with the Turkish Nation
alists. He is reaping the fruits of that error
and probably will lose his throne again. Under his
rule the economic condition of Greece has gone
from bad to worse. All the advantages which the
nation might have obtained from the Venzeos
policies have been sacrificed
Constantine is a misht. Greece needs a strong
hand at the helm. 1t does not make particle of
difference whether he pro-German or pro-arly

in the world whether he has any brains
Constantine thinks that all his country needs is
