To be sure there are some tolera-
b bright lights in the Kentucky
Legislature, but when it's acts are
viewed as a whole how is one to dis
believe the theory of evolution-and
slow at that? Should it enact that
anti-evolution bill, or whatever it is,
it might help some if the Legislature
would recommend scourging as a
penalty for all, who in any way coun-
tenanced the theory of evolution or
talked it in public, or at home for
the matter of that. 1t might be a
good thing to revive the old law
against witches and witchcraft. Burn
ing at the stake would perhaps be
about the right sort of penalty for
that class, as our forefathers at one
time meted out that brand of punish
ment.

ROMA THIRD BIG SHIP
TO WRECK IN ID MONTHS

New York, Feb. 21.-The dirigible
Roma, which blew up today over
Hampton Roads, was the third big
airship to be destroyed in a spectacu-
lar mishap in the last thirteen
months.
On August "a. 1921, the ZR-2,
built by the British for purchase by
the United States at cost of $4,000
900 exploded over Hull, England,
killing forty-two, including sixteen
Americans.
On January 1, 1921, the R-34,
which, flew from England to Long
Island and back in the summer of
1919, the first airship to cross the
Atlantic, was wrecked in a gale
while tied outside her airdrome in
Howden, England.
Before the ZR-2 disaster, the
greatest number killed in an airship
accident in peace times was twenty
nine, the toll of the explosion of the
German Zeppelin LIZ over the Jo-
hannisthal aerodrome on October II,
1913.

wAsHINGToN's DIARY FOUND

York, Pa, Feb. 21.-Discovery Of
a lost diary kept by George Washing
ton during the last year of his life
was announced tonight by George r.
Prowell, curator and Librarian of the
Historical Society of York County.
while searching thru unclassified
documents in the library of the De-
partment of State at Washington" he
said, another gentleman and myself
found the lost diary of Washington,
written during the time he was Presi-
dent and until his death"
The story of the diary, he declar-
ed, never has been made public.
One of the first entries quoted is
that written by Washington on his
birthday, and in this connection lit
lie known fact is brought to light
that in the last year of Washington's
life the people of Virginia observed
February IL instead of February %
as the anniversary of his birth.
Mr.. Powell explains this by point
ing out that Washington was born in
1872, and it was not until twenty
years later that the Gregorian calen
dar was acceped in England and the
United States. Washington's birth
day as a result, was recorded in the
family Bible as February IL, 1882
(old style) and February IL continu-
ed to be observed in Virginia until
1910.
On July 4. 1899. he celebrated In
dependence Day by attending ban
quet at Kemps Tavern in Alexandria,
given in his honor by the citizens.
July was spent in writing his last
will, which consisted of twenty-nine
pages, all of which he wrote himself
affixing his signature at the bottom
of each page.

WASHINGTON COMMENT

When the Towner-Sterling bill
passes the United States will have
Department of Education, with a Sec
rotary in the Cabinet. One of the first
tasks such a Department of Educa-
tion must undertake is the review and
classification of textbooks. The
necessity for national information
on books which teach national af-
fairs is constantly being brought be-
fore the public, the most recent case
being in the National Capital, where
a certain textbook on history is un-
der fire from citizens associations as
being historically inaccurate and So
cialistic in its tendencies.
Whether the book is good or bad
IS hardly a matter for determination
by citizens associations, no matter
how patriotic. Only authority should
be permitted to say what is, and
what is not in a good school book.
The trouble with the average school
book selection authority is that it is
biased by location and environment,
without a national viewpoint.
A Federal Department of Educa-
ton would not be biased, and would
either have a national viewpoint or be
complete failure. A list of adequate
school books which had been care
fully reviewed and classified by the
national government would go far
toward securing that uniformity in
education and accuracy in the teach
ing of history which are in them
selves a national bond and would be
eagerly welcomed by local school
boards everywhere.
Obviously no such list OF books
would be issued as anything else
than suggestions. When the Depart
ment of Agriculture tells farmers of
good fertilizer it does not require
them to use it-only their brains an6
free choicei So it would be with
the list of books, and, indeed, all the
acts of the Department of Education
they would be advisory only, and
valuable in proportion to their edu-
cation. not their mandatory, pro-
nouncements.

The usual of summonsss for par
ties who have, or who had failed to
procure license for keeping or har-
boring dogs, on or before January
the first, as provided by law, has
created more local discussion
amongst dog owners and others than
anything happening recently. No
. law-abiding citizen, or one who de-
sires to see the law upheld, should
censure law enforcement. Yet We
hear some criticism of the officers for
endeavoring to have the law carried
out as intended and still others, many
others and quite a few are to be
found among those who had sum
mons served upon them, have been
heard to approve the officials action.
The party who paid his money and
procured the dog tag has, by large
majority, the right of complaint, or
would have had, if the officers quiet
ly sat still and permitted so many
to escape, especially when the facts
were known 10 the officers. One in
stance came under our observation:
A reliable young man stated in our
presence that he procured his dog
tag as the law directs, but TO his GER
tain knowledge none of his adjoin-
ing neighbors paid any attention to
the matter and were not complying
with the law at all. Gases of this
character were being addressed to the
attention of the officials almost dali
ly. II has been decided that the
County, or Quarterly Court is with
ont jurisdiction in so far as final dis
posal of the cases are concerned, but
the County Court does have the right
to hold each individual over to await
The action of the grand jury, about
that there is no question. Each in
diyidual who fails to comply with
this special act is subject to indict-
ment, and in so far as the constitu-
tionality, of the act is concerned, with
reference to construction placed upon
il by the higher Court, the law is
enforceable, but TO indict by grand
jury and the tedious methods of trial
by Circuit Court is much more OBJ
jectionable than by County Court, If
jurisdiction were given the latter.
Cases of this character show the lido
tic turn of the mind of some of our
former legislators. The County
Court has been shorn of jurisdiction
in almost all sorts of prosecutions,
other than breach of the peace and
we think that il would be well TO turn
that offense over to the circuit courts
for prosecution, so that County
Courts and County Attorneys would
not have any thing whatever to do

No one. not even the navy-yard

COURT HOUSE CHIT CHAT

Last Friday afternoon a deputy
sheriff of Muhlenberg County brought
Eskel Kitchens, a former citizen of
this County over from Central City
ON a warrant from the Ohio Quarter
ly Court. which accuses him of OBJ
tanning the signature of a number of
citizens of the Cool Springs neighbor-
hood to a note with fraudulent in
tent. Eskel's bond was fixed in the
warrant at $4,000, but after it was
apparent that he could not give such
bond, he waived examining trial and
was permitted to go on his own re-
conizance for his appearance at the
next grand jury. Eskel contends
that he only promised to pay the note
out of the profits he should make or
a job of cutting and hauling a GER
tain body of timber, and that he was
unable to pay the note because he
made no profit on the job.
The Fiscal Court was in session a
few days the first of the week for the
purpose OF making a settlement with
ex-Sheriff S. A. Bratcher. The final
settlement was effected to. the sat
isfaction of Mr.. Bratcher as well as
the Court. Other business of rou-
tine nature was transacted.
s&$
Some little excitement was caused
among people about the Sheriff's
office Monday, when il was learned
that Will Daugherty who was recent
ly tried for lunacy and sent to the
Hopkinsville Asylum, and who is un-
der indictment in Circuit Court
charged with the offense of selling
intoxicating liquors, had been at
home for a week or more and had
left, ostensibly to return 20 the Asy-
lum, but had not reached the iastitu-
ton when communication was estdn-
lished Herewith. 1t is understooG
that Daugherty reported in the Viclni-
ty of his home that he had been pa
rolled from the Asylum for ten days,
but when officers Of the institution
were communicated with, it was
learned that he had been parolec for
a period of six months.

The week has brought a few de-
velopments in the dog owner de-
linquent license payment prosecu-
tions. 1t has been discovered that
the Quarterly Court is without juris-
diction to give final trial of the
cases, and that it is necessary before
a final trial can be had that the Of
Tending ones be indicted by the grand
Jury in Circuit Court. The County
Clerk has been uncertain as to wheth-
err he should issue license and has
communicated with the State dog
license department, but has receiv-
ed instructions from the Attorney
General to issue license TO anyone
who applies for them. The Court
house has been well filled each day
with people for whom summons has
been issued. and the dog license ques-
ton has been discussed from every
angle.
