on two occasions Peter Kropotkin
addressed himself to that doaf ear
Once In protest against the terrible
practice of taking hostages; the
other time against the complete sup
preston of publishing undertakings
other than the states.
Ever since the Cheka began Its
sinister existence. the Bolshevik gov
ernment had sanctioned the taking
Of hostages. Old and young. moth
ers. fathers. sisters. brothers. even
children. had been held and often
shot for the offense of one OF their
own-offenses which. In nine cases
out of ten. they knew nothing about.
In the fall of 1920 the Social-Revo.
lutionists that emigrated to Europe
threatened retaliation II the repr@s-
sions against their comrades con.
tinued. The Bolshevik government
announced in it's official press that
for every Communist II would take
ten Social l-Revolut 1t was
their that the famous revolutionist,
Vera N. Figner. and Peter Kropotkin
sent protest to the powers that be.
They pointed out that the practice
Of taking hostages was a blot on the
Russian revolution, an evil which
had already brought terrible results
in it's wake; that the future would
never forgive them for such bar
baric method.
The second protest was made In
reply to the attempt the govern.
ment was making at "hqutdating
all publishing undertakings, whether
political. cooperative or private.
This protest was addressed to the
presidium of the then sitting Eighth

sariat Of education. and sent almost
on the same day from Petrograd
similar protest.
Monopoly Of Thought.
Kropotkin. in his statement, called
attention to the danger Of such "A
policy to all progress. in fact to all
thought. Such state monopoly on
thought would make creative work
utterly impossible. The situation in
Russia during the last four years
has given ample proof Of that.
One Of the striking characteristics
of Peter Kropotkin was his reticence
In everything concerning himself.
In my stay OF thirty-six hours at his
Dmitroff home, while his body Jay
in death, / learned more OF his per.
sonal life than during all the years
had known him. But few even OF
his immediate circle knew that Peter
Alexeievitch was an artist and
musician of considerable talent.
Among his effects l discovered a
whole collection OF his drawings of
great merit.
He loved music passionately and
was himself a musician Of no mean
ability. He spent much Of his lei.
sure moments at the piano. No doubt
he was able TO find some forgetful-
ness and peace in the masters whose
works he rendered with deep under
standing.
He lay in his workroom as II
peacefully asleep. his face as lender
in death as 1t had been in life. There
he lay. this great son OF Russia
Through strife and stress he had
remained true to the revolution and
would not forsake II. He did not
live to see capitalism in Russia
erected as a monument upon the
grave of the revolution. But even
that would not have robbed him Of
his fervent faith in the resurrection
OF the people, the ultimate triumph
Of lbertarian revolution.

TO CUT OUT THE RENT

Government ownership of post
Office buildings in every city and
town in the United States, where
one is located, has been proposed to
Congress by the Postmaster General
with the approval of the President.
At present there are $3.50 postofices
in leased quarters and only 1900 in
buildings owned by the Government.
The postofice Department now pays
in rentals annually about $4,000
900. Many of the buildings now
used by the postofices are made
Quate to the needs of the steadily
increasing volume of business. The
statement is advanced that the Gov
eminent could borrow money on
practically a four per cent. basis,
whereas when it leases, the depart
ment pays a rental sufficient to per-
NIT the lessor to borrow money at
seven per cent, and in some cases as
much as ten per cent. Besides a
government-owned building is free
from taxation, but when a building
is leased the Government is indi
rectly paying taxes at rate of
about two per cent. Oh the invest
ment, and in many cases a much
higher rate. The plan, if carried
out, will no doubt be a great saving
to the postoffice department.

INDIANS BONES FOUND IN CAVE

Having found two Indian skele-
tons, stone hatchets, fiints and pot
terry, the party which several weeks
ago went to dig in a cave in Wayne
county six miles from Monticello,
has returned. Professor A. M. Mil
Ter, head of the department of geo.
logy of the University of Kentucky,
who led the party, returned to Lex
ington.
The party dug through earth rich
in heterogeneous depths in the cave
and dug up human and animal re-
mains, and old Indian pipe and
other relics of an age long past. All
of the things found are valuable and
will be placed in the geology depart
ment at the University.
The party dug about five feet
through earth, but did not strike the
rock bottom of the cave, Prof. Mil
Ter said. All of the bones were
found within that distance. Prof.
Miller hopes to make another inves-
tigation soon.
Members of the party were Prof
Miller, Prof. w. S. Webb, Prof. j.
Morton Davis, Pyof. w. D. Funk
houser, of the University; Victor K.

OXEN TEAMS NOW A RARE
SIGHT

Nowadays a team of oxen is an
uncommon sight in many parts of
Kentucky and except for remote and
isolated sections cattle are no longer
used at draft animals. To a limited
extent oxen are still utilized in the
logging camps and in the mountain
country where primitive methods of
transportation yet prevail. Even
now well-broken team of oxen is
highly priced and rarely parted
with. The animals can withstand a
prodgious amount of heavy work.
The passing Of oxen as a means of
transportation is one manifesto
ton of the speed mania
that now has begun to discriminate
against the horse in favor of the
tractor and motor car.

THE RUSH TO THE COLLEGES
New York Tribune)

That New York University is
preparing accommodations for 5000
additional students is further evil
dence that New York is to hold its
place as the worlds foremost college
town. To increase the enrolment
from $4,000 to 10000 shows how
the new endowment is bearing
fruit. -
The growth of New York Uni
versity in the last ten years has been
amazing. 1t has now a larger at
tendance than any other university,
and owes its rank largely to its en-
phasis of practical education" as
distinguished from the so-called
academic education" Its many
schools for workers have made it
possible for thousands of students to
receive training while working. The
growth has been chiefly in the down.
town divisions of the university,
where the vocational schools are
concentrated.
The end of the rush to the col
leges is not yet in sight. Never
have young men and women flocked
to matriculate as since the war. 1t
is not only an indication of a fine
spirit in the oncoming generation,
but furnishes interchangeable evil
dence that an increasing percentage
of our people have surpluses with
which to support their children for
a. longer period. Wealth diffuses.
Professional fomenters of discomfort
continue to be active, but they col
Tide with facts and suffer from their
abrasion.

L. & N. BUYS FIFTY NEW
ENGINES

Pressed for the need of new power
in order to take care of the traffic
congestion of the fall and winter
months, the L. & N. railroad has
placed orders for fifty new locomo-
tives. The order is estimated at
100000.
The American Locomotive Com
pany and the Baldwin Locomotive
Company each received a share of
the large contract, the former re
ceiving an order for forty of the
engines and the latter ten.
1t is said that the contract is the
largest order for equipment ever
placed by the L. e N. at one time
The railroad is accustomed to build
it's own equipment and heretofore
has only placed small orders on the
outside.

DOES THE PUBLIC APPRECIATE
VALUE?

When you pay 3 cents for daily
newspaper, do you realize the cost of
the news it contains? If the tele-
graph messages in a single issue
were sent to you personally it
would cost you about $642.79. This
amounts to $16,712.54 a month, or
S2OO,55O.4S per year, against Sc a
year which you actually pay for
your newspaper.
Thus for Sc you pick up what
would cost otherwise over 100000
for mere toll service alone.
When you pay about z cents out
OF every dollar of your income for
telephone, electric street car, gas
and electric light and power service.
do you realize what it would cost if
science, invention and business
brains had been lacking? They do
services for you which otherwise
would necessitate 80 servants. At q
low, average weekly wage of 500
this amounts to $500 per week or
$4,000 per year. Figuring this as
equivalent to cents on every dollar
OF income, you would need a total
yearly income of $445,7OO.
'Thus for an expenditure of Z cents
OF every dollar you earn. YOU get
necessary services which in compar-
lson would necessitate a yearly in
come of over $445,OOO. And no
consideration is given of the speed
OF transportation or communication
or the instant readiness always to
serve, of the public utilities.

ON TEACHING AGRICULTURE

1t has not been long since ele-
mentary agriculture was added to
the curriculum of the public schools
of Kentucky and it was not without
repeated opportunity to learn some.
thing of the fundamentals of agri-
culture in the common schools. The
law was passed ten years ago and
since that time the primary course
has regularly been taught. i.
There seems to have been no good
reason why the pupils of the public
Schools should not know something
about the elementals of agriculture.

and the advocates of this view fin
ally won out. The measure was in
troduced in the Legislature several
times and defeated before it was en-
acted and became a law.

No event in rural Kentucky is
looked forward to with more pleas
ant anticipation than the annual
basket meetings" that still obtain
in some of these communities and
have become a recognized institu-
ton. 1t is the one big religious
event of the year and the day is de-
voted to worship and community
rendition of hymns.
These events get their name from
the custom of everybody bringing a
basket flied with eatables which at
the appointed time are spread in
the shaded grove where the meet
ing is held. The basket meetings
make for a spirit of fellowship that
brings community into closer touch
Many of these meetings were at
tended by the great-grandfathers
and great-grandmothers of those
that now keep them alive.
Generally these meetings are un-
and members of various sects join
together for the religious exercises
out in the open. In some cases the
annual basket meetings are made
countrywide affairs, and attract a
large concourse of people from far
and near. The exercises were sim
pie and transformations and differ
nothing from the manner in which
they were conducted in by-gone
days.
About the only noticeable differ
ence is that automobiles may now
be seen parked around the grove
where horses were wont to be teth-
of the gathering. Otherwise the
preaching and the singing are the
same as they were century ago.
