There are some people in this

obeyed. When a law is placed
upon the statutes it is a duty of
every good citizen to obey it. In

last week, setting forth the rea-
sons for and demanding a better
Legislature. We endorse the ar.

Set forth, that now is the time to
! commence arranging for the next
race. The trouble has been over
Kentucky for quite a number of
years, the best men, men who
accomplish something, never Of
fer for the Legislature. Qualified
men should be willing to make a
sacrifice, go to Frankfort and
use their influence to make
this a better State. The road
question and how to raise the
money for bettering the high.
ways of Kentucky should be the
chief topic. We hope that Adair
and Taylor will induce some well
qualified man to represent them
in the next Legislature. 1t is a
very important position, and only
the best men should be sent to
Frankfort. Do not send a man
because he is clever fellow, but
men of known ability should on
ly be considered. 1t is true that
il will be quite a while before
another Legislature will be elect
ed, but the quicker the agitation
is started for good and compe-
tent men, the better for the en-
tire State of Kentucky. Hon.
Ben Johnson, the able represen.
tative in Congress from the
Fourth district, has announced
that he wants to end his political
career in the Kentucky LegisIa-
ture. Suppose we could elect a
half a dozen representatives to
go to Frankfort whose ability
compared with Mr.. Johnson's,
there would be a revolution in
this State. Good roads would be
built, and other needed public
improvements made. Fellows
who want to 60 to Frankfort,
draw their pay and do nothing
are not wanted. Give US men
who will look to the interests of
this Commonwealth. Anybody
who is inclined can get drunk
and draw his pay. There is one
thing certain, that a man who
does not know and has no con.
ception of the laws now in force.
has no business to offer for the
Legislature. How is man who
does not know the Constitution
of his State nor the statutory
laws going to make new laws?

show to F. T. P. that his former work, as
secretary, has been fully appreciated and
that the service he has given the Circle
within the last three years has not been
lost to view by its members. Motion was
then made by c. M. w. to appoint ]. M.
c. secretary, but it seemed as though the
shoe pinched here, but anyway everyone
came out unscathed after the melee, except
J. Nj. c., who received the office cast in
his favor by H. Fl. NJ. through the motion
of r. ]. T., so it promises to be busy
season for him. Pres. NJ. after motion
carried for assuming offices gave talk in
which he explained his future endeavors,
stating his only platform being "for the
good of the Pierian Chautauqua Circle,
first, last and always" and in this he has
each and every members support.
After the distribution of books, etc. and
the division of classes c. M. w. followed
by S. H. F., gave short address on the
Office of critic showing whereby owing to
several causes it was necessary to hold in
allegiance, this part of the Circle. This
was finally made motion and carried. A
general discussion for the good of the
order followed in which every one joined
heartily, bringing forth some of our
ablest members and some very concrete
points.
When the subject of new membership
was placed before the Circle, Pres. M.
assigned to c. Nj. w., S. H. F., and r. J.
7. the task of preparing three papers
covering the subject to be read before the
Circle on the Sth of October. This no
doubt will bring some very interesting
matter before the Circle as the above
members are very much in favor of large
membership. This is the general view of
all members in fact as was shown by
list of fourteen names which were pre-
sented for membership and were turned
over to the committee in charge of same.
Another general discussion followed in
which various suggestions were offered
and will be taken up later no doubt, but
all in all each one shows in this the first
meeting a willingness and anxousness TO
make this seasons work stand out as none
has before and with all endeavors
directed toward that goal there will be
within the Circle an inspiring influence
which should and will help every one we
come in contact with.

PIERIAN CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE

That the Pierian Chautauqua Circle
opened its season of 1928 on Sunday,
Sept. oath, will never be doubted by the
ten members present, in fact, the whole
meeting was one where energy and de-
termination were visibly displayed, and if
the saying "well begun is half DONE" holds
true the circle may look forward to many
interesting discussions and papers through
out the year.
Former Secretary F. T. P. acting as
President called the meeting to order and
appointed ]. M. c. as temporary secretary,
during the election of officers for the en-
suing season. After calling the roll by
the secretary, the chair announced the next
in order would be the nomination for
President, to which A. H. F. responded
with concise and clear talk in behalf of
H. P. followed by c. M. w. for H. H. M,
who acted as critic during the last quarter
of last season. A motion was then carried
to close the nominations, and ballots were
passed and collected revealing H. H. M.
as President F. T. P. was then nomi-
mated as Vice President and motion was
made to that effect, which was heartily
accepted by all. This in itself should
