Hard Times.
Every day or two, if you happen to be
on a collecting tour, you strike a man
who gives you the "hard times" excuse
and claims that money is very tight and
hard to collect. A collector struck
merchant on his rounds the other day,
who gave him the exouse, but admitted
after being questioned that he had plen
ty of money in the bank, but was hold
ing it for fear of "hard times," and "a
monny scarcity nearly always follows a
presidential election, and I don't want
to be caught," as he expressed it. Plen
ty of money in bank and "hard times !"
You are responsible for the hard times
yourself. If you will pay what you owe
the other man can pay his debts, and
that is the end of "hard times." The
entire country was never in a more pros
perous condition. Crops have beeu es
pecially good all over the country, gen
erally, and where a few failures have
been recorded in sections, there is more
money in circulation, or rather in the.
banks, than ever before. Loosen up
and pay your own debts and then your
neighbor can pay his. Don't hoard your
money for fear of hard times, for there
will be none. Think this over and the
first collector calling, pay him. This
will enable others to pay their debts.

Model Schools.
The Ilarrodsburg Uerald notes the
completion of a schoolhouse in Mercer
county which was built on the plan of
the model school at the State Fair
grounds in Louisville. Kentucky needs
more model schoolhouses and it is sin-
erely to be hoped that a lot of school
authorities over the Slate will take no
tice of the model building at the Fair
and go and do likewise. The oldtime
log schoolhouse which was once so
much in evidence is passing away and
everybody should speed the parting.
Good buildings are a prerequisite of
good schools. .
Leading Educator Dead.
Prof James Garrard White, vice-president
of Kentucky Slate College and pro
fessor of mathematics, one of the lead
ing educators of the State, died at his
home here this morning, 13th. His
father, II. II. White, was president of
Kentucky University. Prof. White was
a great-grandson of Gen. James Garrard,
second Governor of Kentucky. His
daughter, Martha, married Dr. George
Blessing, of the Swarihmore College fac
ulty. Prof. White was one of the most
prominent citizens of Lexington and a
power in the State. He has been con
nected with the University since 1305.
He will be mourned by the alumni ihro'-
out the entire country Lexington cor.

Rediscountable Paper.
One objection the small banker is
making to the Glass-Owen banking bill
is to its provision that commercial pa
per must be within forty five days of
maturity before it may be rediscounted
with the District Reserve Banks. The
country bank, he says, does not carry
short-time paper, and could not avail it
self of the rediscounting privilege.
This criticism is due either to short-
signieaness, or it is grounded in error.
The provision is not that the paper must
be forty-five-day paper, but that it must
be within forty-five days of maturity. It
may be six-month paper. The country
banker, therefore, having paper nearing
maturity in his portfolio, and needing
funds for the further accommodation of
his clients, need only take" that paper
within forty-five days or less of maturi
ty up to his district bank to obtain those
funds. Every bank has such paper con
tinually nearing maturity.
It is obvious that when a banker stands
in need of a rediscount, he selects for
the purpose that paper nearest maturi
ty, because from that time forward he
loses his profit on it his interest
which thenceforward redounds to the
district bank. - It would be a species of
folly for him to discouut ninety-day pa
per, even if that were possible, when he
had thirty-day paper at hand.
In England, France and Germany,
which have rediscount markets, the av
erage length of time rediscounted paper
has to ruo is under thirty days. Con
sidering England separately, it averages
eighteen days.
u e fail to see why the small banker
should object to this sane and just pro
vision of the Glass-Owen measure.

Bowng. Bliyrmfifld, K. J. IMS
Champ Clark, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, in a speech on the
4th of July before the law school of the
University of Virginia, voiced the senti
ment of most thinking people in the
opinion that the government is gradual
ly growing better. Mr. Clark said:
"Government is an experimental
science, not an exact science. We have
not attained perfection, but we are grad
ually, if slowiy, approximating it. The
only way to approach it is to make such
changes in the constitution and laws as
our experience demonstrates should be
made. To stand still is to stagnate; to
stagnate is to die.
"While there is nothing new in this it
is true in eery particular. The consti
tution of the United States as it was
drawn a century and a quarter ago was
perhaps the most remarkable document
of its time. It was not perfect. It was
the result of a compromise between men
of monarchial tendencies like Hamilton
and Democrats of the Jefferson type. As
we get farther and farther away from
kings and emperors and from the cant
and toad dy ism of royalty, we see pro
visions in our laws that seemed liberal
a hundred years ago that are not suffi
ciently broad to meet the modern ten
dencies. The government is gradually growing
better because it is growing more liber
al. Experience is teaching the- people
that they can govern themselves better
than any class or division of citizens can
do it for them. The progress of govern
ment is being shown by the general
adoption of direct primaries and by such
reforms as that of the direct election of
U. 8. Senators. Other and greater re
forms will follow. The people are wak
ing up to the truth that they should se
lect their own officials, discharge them
at will when they are incompetent and
make their own laws."

The First by Popular Vote.
Senator Augustus O. Bacon, of Geor
gia, will have one distinction that will
remain with him through life and be re
ferred to in all mention of him after
death. He is the first U. 8. Senator
to be elected by a direct vote of the peo
ple. That he is a very popular man is
shown in the fact that be was unoppos
ed for re election, and that notwith
standing he got a very large vote. The
election passed in & most satisfactory
manner and marked the beginning of an
era when people and not politicians will
say who shall sit in the seat of the
mighty in the "most deliberative body
on earth.
Considering the fact that many Sena
tors were said to have bought their elec-
tionsind the disgraceful scandals' that
have attended many of them, it is very
strange that the people have submitted
so long to be ignored. The United States
Senate, though, stood in the way and
blocked popular elections, many of the
members, no 'doubt, feeling that a
change would sound their death knell.
lne senate kas been a most unrespon
spive body to the will of the people, but
a change will now directly come over
the spirit of its action, for the members
will be as directly responsible to the
people as are the members of the Lower
House. W. P. W.
Wheat Wanted.
I have made arrangements with one
of the large mills of this section to buy
wheat for them, and I will appreciate it

phone before you sell. Will have plenty

Proud of His Department
Col. Thomas Jefferson Smith, Slate
Banking Commissioner, who frequently
comes to Louisville on business connec
ted with the liquidation of the Commer
cial Bank & Trust Co., is feeling mighty
chesty over the showing made by his de
partment for the first year of its exist
ence, and says the results have shown
the wisdom of the act creating the State
Banking Department. CoL Smith has
three yean yet to serve as the head of
the department, and as he finds the
work congenial, it is hardly likely that
he would relinquish the job to accept
any other in the Stale service. Louis

The Candidate.
A Kentucky editor sizes up the politi
cians in the following plain language:
"It is very surprising how much the
politicians love the editor when they
want something from the dear people
and how they seem to entirely forget
him after they have gotten what they
want. The newspapers do entirely too
much for the politicians and the politi
cians do loo little for (he editors. The
editors can get along much better with
out the politicians than the politicians
can without the editors, and it is time
in Kentucky that the editors should as
sert themselves, and when politicians
want to advertise themselves make them
pay for it like merchants and the rest of
folks who buy for space at so much a
line or inch."
The Difference Between "The
Summer Girl" and The
Summer Woman."
While the former is having a "good
time" the latter is too often dragging
around nervous, run down, tired out,
wilh aching back and weary limbs,sleep
less and wretched. Often it is kidney
trouble not female trouble and Foley
